Spring is trying seasons Indications of sick
should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to become
constipated and the system to remain in dior
dered condition, rntil the disorder has time to de-
velop itself. An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, is an Old and truthful saying.
Therefore, we advise all who troubled with the
complaints now very prevalent headache, indiges-
ton, disordered liver want of appetite, nausea or
feverish skin, to take, without delay, schenck's
Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harm
less and decisive in it's action. 1t at strikes
at the root of the disease and produces healthy
tone to the system. People never need suffer from
any disease arising from disordered condition of
the liver if they would take this excellant medicine


when they feel the first indications of the malady


Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or four boxes OF these pills with
them. They have an almost instancous effect.
They viii relieve the patient of headache in one or
tive hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver OF
surrounding bile, and win efectually prevent a
bilious attack. They sold by all Druggist.

Here is the way he talked in the U.
5. Senate, January %, 1859:


"The appreciation of a currency is
a far more distressing operation than
senators may suppose. Our own and
other nations have gone through this
process before, and always with
sorest distress. For eighteen wears
the notes of the Bank Of England were
practically legal tender, and upon
them as upon our greenbacks was
based currency issued by the coun-

measures were slowly adopted for an
appreciation OF the paper currency to
the gold standard. 1t is only neces-
sary to appeal to the histories of the
time to show the disastrous effects.
Small traders, debtors and laborers
were reduced to the sorest distress.
The loss to thom was far greater than
the actual depreciation of the curren-

Britain was the rapid fall in the rate
OF interest, from the abundance of
idle capital. and her ability to reduce
the rate of her public debt within a

THE MIXTURE OF RAcEs.-In the
South Carolina Legislature, bill was
up prohibiting inteImarriage of races,
under severe penalty. The colored
members of the House were against it
unanimously, and the whites were in
stinctively for it. But the latter, after
some skirmishing, withdrew their sup
port from the bill, and it failed by an
overwhelming majority. ..... ...-


We do not understand that previous
laws against the intermarriage of the
whites with the blacks were repealed
by the failure of this attempt to increase
the penalty. We hope it will be long
time before the laws of this State pro-
hibiting such marriages will be repealed
In referring to the subject the New York
Journal Of Commerce says: Gas the
so-called Civil Rights bills in the North
do not incite colored persons to mingle
freely with whites at the hotels and
theatres, so the legalizing of marriages
between the two colors would not, as a
matter Of course, make such marriages
common anywhere. The effect upon the
complexion of the future inhabitants OF
South Carolina will probably be less
striking than the friends of the defeated
bill anticipate. And this effect, so far as
there is any, will be more injurious to
the negroes than to the whites. The ne
gro race takes not life, but death, from
"miscegenation." The negro, in his un-
adulterated state, is long lived, almost
proof against climatic maladies, and pro-
life. The mulattoes are not remarkable
for longevity, are more liable to certain
classes of disease than any pure colored
race, and in no respect hold their own il
the struggle for existence against eithel
whites or blacks. The new relations O
independence and self help IN which the
negro is placed by the abolition of slave
ry have not, on the whole, it is said, beef
favorable to the spread and perpetuity o
his race at the South. The shortest nat
ural process for wiplng the negro off tn

This pleasant and thriving city has not always sympaihized with San Die go in her struggles for railway, and now the latter place can and probably does quietly enjoy the squirmings al ready begun in the former, not be- cause of too much railroad but be- cause of too much in one company. According to report, the Southern Pa cific has purchased the road to Santa Monica, thereby giving it entire con trol of all approaches to the city save by wagon road. The Los Angeles peo- pie, or some of them, seem 10 have made the wonderful discovery that the Southern Pacific is not a purely phi lanthropic company. They are even intimating that some kinds of freight are being carried from San Francisco to Yuma at the same rates charged from Los Angeles, and this fact creates suspicion that the Arizona trade will not benefit the angelic city very much They may draw a little consolation from the fact that unless lower freigh: rates are made from the west, the bulk of the Arizona trade will not even be done in San Francisco. But the peo- pie ot Los Angeles and Arizona have a positive right to complain of the diff ference (about $10) between the price of tirstclass limited and unlimited tickets from Yuma to San Francisco. This difference will prevent thousands of people during year from making a business or pleasure inspection of Los Angeles. The limited and unlim- ited tickets are first-claSs, but on the former the passenger must go directly forward on the same day and train. and on the latter, may stop oyer wher- ever desirable. IL may be said that Los Angeles has no more right to com plain than other places on the line, but twenty passengers and business men care to stop oyer there to one at any other on the route. It is to be hoped that this discrimination will be abolished.

MR. Nj. LATE of Magdalena, is in town on business for Joseph Pierson. He says the people in Sonora, so tar as he can learn, are ignorant of any fil- Clustering scheme looking tO the cap ture of Mexican territory or the rein statement of Lerdo as President. He is convinced that the Mexican people look upon any such movement with extreme disfavOr. No matter what they may think of Lerdo's rights, as President, they do not want him rein stated by foreign aid, nor do they want improved government except it be brought about by their own efforts. The agitation now prevailing on the subject in New York and San Francis co and in fact throughout the country, he regards as very detrimental to the best interests of Americans in Mexico and of no possible benefit to Mexico, and he thinks the movement, if at tempted in earnest, will result as it ought to do, in disaster to those who lead or personally engage in its ex- ecution.

Middletotcn Press offers the following
seasonable suggestions to mothers of
afflicted children:


We hope that mothers will remember
that good brandy is cure for summer
complaint; in bad cases a teaspoonful in
milk three or four times day.


A flannel cloth wet in hot brandy, or
better, camphor and brandy mixed and
heated, will relieve the pain of the bow
els if frequently laid over the stomach
and bowels,


I Bits Of scraped ice are better on the
tongue than drinks of water.


For stlngs and poisons, strong solu-
ton of saleratus and water Immediately
and then frequently applied, gives relief
and sure cure.


For burns, an immediate application
of flour covering the burn and wrapped
so as to exclude the air; then burn lard
until it is quite brown and apply, and re-
lief and cure will soon come. Do not
wash off the flour ifit clings, but put the
lard over it.


At night, in extreme warm weather, a
lemon squeezed in tepid water, to sponge
off the tired out little body, will give rest
to 10th the mother and child. Saleratus
is good, but the lemon lis best. Even
washing off the little feet, neck and palms
of the hands in tepid, never very cold,
water, will induce healthful sleep.

green wood IN burning in the
melted metals produces a large
amount of carbonic acid. which
passed through the metal in bub-
bles, and insures a more thorough
mixture OF the component parts of
the alloy. In the meantime assis-
tantS have constructed, in dry sand,
held together by large iron
frames, a kind of reservoir or
tank over the mold. This is to
receive the melted metal, for it must
all rush into the mould at once;
a large hole closed by plug sepa-
rates this tank from the mold. A
steel chain attached to the plug
passes through a pulley directly
above it, but near the roof of the
foundry, and if all is right it will
be pulled up by the foreman, there
by opening the mold. A long
trench or gutter of sand also has
been built from the mouth of the
mold to the tank, and this is now all
ablaze with a fire of wood-shayings,
to warm it so that the metal Will
not cool and clog as 1t runs down.
Now the exciting time has come.
A workman, holding u long iron
lever terminated by a sharp wedge,
nears the brick opening Of the sur
face from which the bronze is to
run; two men follow him with
large sledge-hammers to assist him.
Another man is lowered with a rope
into the pit. He holds u lighted
torch, with which he is to ignite
the gases that escape from the vent
holes at the bottom of the mold, the
draught produced by these flames
drawing all the air from the mold.
He whispers to his assistants to
draw him up quickly once his work
is done, for, as the foreman tells me,
if the sand in the mold was at all
damp, and celia pourrait bien etre
lit might happen), the mold would
explode, when the red-hot metal
came in, and the poor fellow might
be crushed to atoms. Now an aw-
iul silence prevails, only broken by
the blows Of the men breaking the
furnace open. The metal runs out
a clear stream Of melted bronze,
with little blue flames lowering
over it; it accumulates in the tank,
lighting up all the foundry with a
blush, golden light. The man
lights the vents he is also drawn
up safe. A gurgling sound is
heard as the blue flame and golden
sparks fly from the vents, and the
figure is cast. The workmen are
treated to claret by the boss"

half of Dom Pedro l may be cast
