The Omnibus admission bill was resumed. The amendment including Alabama was discuss? ed all day. Mr. Morton said he had changed bis mind about the danger of tbe de? feat of the bill by including Alabama, and should vote for the amendment.

GERMAN CATHOLIC UNION-IMMIGRATION AND SCHOOLS.-Before the adjournment of the great German Catholic Union in New York, on Wed? nesday, resolutions were passed in regard to schools and immigration, which are of import? ance. The resolutions on immigration, without al? lowing the ase of corporate funds of the socie? ties of the union, provide fer aiding and pro? tecting newly arrived immigrants and for the appointment of a central committee of five Ca? tholics, residents of New York, with a priest tor chairman, as the superintending board. This committee shall appoint two agents for New York and two for Baltimore, who shall -serre gratuitously, and whose duty shall be to procure railroad tickets tor the immigrants, to advise in the exchange of foreign coins or other money or valuables, to obtain suitable boarding places and to look after the safety of the bag? gage. The local societies in all other cities : shall appoint an agent in their place to perform the same service. All the agents shall report every second month to (he central committee . t New York, which, ia ita turn, must report to 1 th ; annual meetings of tbe Union. The s hool resolutions adopted are in substance as fol lows ; X.

Every i member is requested i :i di vi dually and through : his local society tu exert bis personal influence, ?as circumstances may allow, that better Catho hes may be appointed as teachers in public schools than now are, that the prevailing' pre? judice against Catholics may cease, and the scoffing at Catholicism be stopped. Tue next meeting of .the Union is to be at Chicago. ELECTIONS IN THE STATE. LAURENS. The Democrats have swept this district and elected their entire ticket.

Our correspondent writes as tollo wa: I The election for district officers under the t new regime has passed without disturbance of anv kind. Bis Honor. T. W. Allen, District Judge, was nominated for the office of Pro? bate Judge at a meeting which may be called a "Johnsonian Chaseite" nominating club, the object of which was to reconcile the conflicting elements to give and take, which gave, but did not receive. The new officers are all members of the League. Judge Allen, bv his impartial decisions, sobriety, and even disposition, has skirmished even within the Radical camp with no Little success. You will observe he is only beaten by forty votes. . His want ot success is owing altogether to the white registered voters who oiled to attend the polls, yielding too freely to the fears of defeat. There were more blacks, votes given to Judge Allen than white ones. Who is to blame ? The blacks bare done their duty well, and they only want another opportunity to show that they begin to think for themselves in the discharge of their trusts._ 6 POLITICS IN THE STATE. Democratic clubs have been formed at High Pleasant, in Laurens District; at Easterlin's Mill and Zeigler'a Poll, in Orangeburg District; at Buffalo and Wylie's' Store, in York District. At a meeting of the Democratic Club of Sum? ter District, held on the 1st, Colonel Branding offered resolutions declaring it inexpedient to send delegates to the convention to be held in Columbia this day. These were referred, and the committee reported resolutions condemn? ing the course ot the April Convention in rela? tion to negro suffrage, and appointing delegates to the convention proposed by Charleston. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. A. A. Gilbert, Dr. M. Reynolds, Rev. T. R. English, W. F. B. Haynsworth, and Dr. H. D. Green, in support of the resolutions of the committee; and by Hon. J. N. Friereon, Col. J. D. Brand? ing and Captain E. W. Moise, against said re- j port. The resolutions reported by the committee were then adopted, and the following delegates appointed : James D. Blanding, Altamont Moses, John N. Frierson, Dr. M. Reynolds, E. W. Moise, Dr. Henry D. Green, Dr. Joseph M. Sanders, H. E. L.Peebles, A. A. Gilbert, W. E. Mills. The Democratic club of Laurens District be? lieve it impolitic and too late to disturb the ex? isting State organization of the Democratic party, and the district will not be represented in the convention of to-day. The Columbia Phoenix, in an article upon "The Second Convention," says: It appears that the Districts of Williams? burg, Orangeburg and Edgefield rather favor the movement suggested m Charleston, aDd we suppose that they do so on the ground that they are not prepared to oncede quali? fied suffrage to the colored man. We nave reason, however, to doubt whether public sentiment would sustain the move against the ac ion of the April convention-at least, in Charleston and Edgefield. We have reason to declare tbat in both of these districts there is a strong element that favors the moderate policy of the said April convention : and we suggest that the assembling together of two hundred or three hu .dred men ID Charleston and Edgefield can hardly be regarded SB com? mitting those districts against the movement which Hampton approves, and which so many good and true statesmen in the State have adopted. -The young heir to the throne of all the RusBias, now just four weeks old, is to bear the name of Nicholas. POLITICA!. SUMMARY. THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION-ELABO B ATE PREPARATIONS TO RECEIVE THE DELE? GATES. The New York World has the following in re? lation to several delegations to this convention, to meet in that city on the 4th of July : Great preparations are now being made for the numerous delegations to be in New York to take part in the Democratic National Conven? tion. Irving Hall has been engaged by the State Central Committee of Pennsy lvania for the delegation from the Keystone State, and Masonic Hall will furnish sleeping quarters for the entire Pendleton escort, which is to number over five hundred men. The Academy of Music will resound to the eloquence of Dem? ocratic orators, and the circus building will be engaged for outside Southern delegations. The Everett House will furnish board and lodging to two hundred and fifty delegates and their friends from Maryland and other border States. The Hancock men will congregate at the Astor House in large numbers, and nego? tiations are now going on with the proprietors of this house and delegations from Illinois and Connecticut. The Connecticut men have a de? sire to secure tho ladies' ordinary for a caucus room to meet in. Five hundred delegates and their friends are expected at the Astor House. Accommodations have been made ready at the St. Nicholas Hotel for twelve hundred who are expected to be prosent. The Chase men and supporters of Governor English, of Connecti? cut, will be found at this hotel principally. At the Southern and New York Hotels prepara? tions on a grand scale are being perfected for delegates from the border and Southern States, and the denizens of these hostelries will once more behold the. familiar faces of staunch Southern Democrats. The Everett House is negotiating with the Vermont delegation, and it is probable that the Green Mountain boy ? will be found hore in large numbers. The Pen? dleton men will aggregate themselves at the Fifth Avenue Hotel The irrepressible, inde? fatigable, and never-to-be-beaten Colonel Wool? ley, of Cincinnati, who had the honor of kick? ing Butler some weeks since in Washington, and who is now enduring imprisonment for his country's sake, has secured rooms for the West Virginia delegation at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The New. York State delegation, numbering sixty-five persons, marshalled by Mr. Samuel J. Tilden-, will stop at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, as will also twenty-six delegates from Indiana, headed by their chairman, Lafayette Devlin. The Dlinors delegation of thirtypersons, under the charge of Storer, of the Chicago Times, and the Ohio delegation of forty-two persons, with their gallant chairman, General G. W. McCook, will also occupy quarters at the Fifth Avenuo Hotel. Committee and caucus rooms bave been engaged at all the hotels named, from the 1st day of July till the close of the convention, which will begin its session on the 4th of July. It will cost each delegate about seven dollars a day to five in this city during the convention, including the necessary trifling expenses of barber and bootblack fees, and carfare. Many leading statesmen and politicians have engaged rooms at the differ? ent hotels from the 20th and 25th of June until the close of the convention, in order to have time to perfect their manipulations and Organ? ization of the country delegations. The ad? mirers of Charles Francis Adams, from Mas? sachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, will repose their aching limbs at the Clarendon Hotel. Tammany Hall will be fully ready by the 25th of June. THE ATTORNEY -GENERALSHIP-MB. STANBERY RECOMMENDS THE APPOINTMENT OF MB. GBOESBECK. A Washington letter of the 4th instant says: Mr. Stanbery, who leaves to-morrow for home, called upon the President to-day and urged the nomination of Mr. Groesbeck as At? torney-General. The President hesitated in consequence of Mr. Groeebeck having been one of his counsel. Ho was apprehensive that his political enemies would say ho was tender? ing Mr. Groesbeck the situation in considera? tion of his professional services in the im? peachment trial. Mr, Stanbery, however, still urged the nomination as one eminently proper to be made, and advised that such considera? tions should not prevent him from availing himself of Mr. Groesbeok's abilities as a lawyer and statesman. Mr. Johnson finally consented to consider the matter, and tho probabilities are that the nomination will be made. THE ADMISSION OF FLORIDA. The New. York Tribune's Washington corres? pondent says : There seems to be considerable opposition among Republicans to the admission of Florida for several reasons. In the new constitution is a singular proposition, in effect that every owner of real estate in the State is eligible to hold any office within the gift of the State. The charge is made that the governor elect Harrison Reed), originally from Wisconsin, was a~ special agent of the Postoffioe Department, and assigned to duty in Florida. He is an in? timate friend of Postmaster-General Randall, and has been in close connection with him since his arrival here. The lieutenant-govern? or (a Mr. Clisson) also from Wisconsin, is also one ol Randall's men, and, together with Reed, it ?B charged that they have been concocting a plan to elect Mr. Randall a United States Sen? ator from Florida. Reed has returned to Flo rid&pit is said, for the purpose of immediately calling together the 8tato Legislature to elect Mr. Randau. THE MEMORY OF PRESIDENT BUCHANAN-THE SEN. . E REBUKES THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA? TIVES. A Washington letter of Friday evening to the Baltimore Gazette says : The action of the Senate in adjourning over one day as a mark of respect to thc memory of ex-President Buchanan has produced con? siderable i ll-feeling on the port of certain Radi? cal leaders in the House of Representatives, who charge that the action of the Senate is a direct rebuke attempted to bc administered to the House, which not only refused to adjourn, but also rejected the resolution of Judge Woodward offered in honor of Buchanan's memory. The Jacobins deny that their con? duct is thus to be indirectly censured with impunity by their own partisans in the other end of the Capitol, and are growling around like certain animals with over-heated hoads. The refusal of the House to adopt promptly Judge Woodward's resolution is now regard? ed by the leaders a great political mistake and one which is likely to tell severely upon tho interests of their Presidential candidate. They feel this and hence are sensitive to the lust rebuke of the Senate, whether intended as such or not. THE EFFECT OF THE FOURTEENTH CONSTITU? TIONAL "AMENDMENT." The Secretary of War sent to the House on Wednesday last the communication which he addressed, as Commander of the First Military District, to General Grant, saying he transmit? ted it at the suggestion of the General of the Army for the consideration of the proper com? mittee. The following is the document: HEADQUARTERS FIRST MILITARY DISTRICT. ? VIRGINIA, RICHMOND, May 15, 1868. j General U. & Grant. GENERAL: I have the bonor to invite your attention to a matter which I understand to bc of great importance, and which, if I am cor? rect, well demands the early attention of Con? gress. I suppose that the amendment .o the Constitution of the United states, proposed by the Thirty-ninth Congress, and known as arti? cle fourteen, will soon be declared to have been ratified, and become a part of the Constitu? tion; and I understand the effect will be to at once remove from office all persons who are disqualified by that amendment. If I am right in the above supposition, and in my under? standing of the effect of the proposed amend? ment, it becomes a matter cf great importance to determine what is to be done in those States whose governments ore still "provisional only?" In tho States which shall have been readmitted to representation in Congress, no serious diffi? culty will exist.for the reason that in those States the only disqualification for office will be that contained in the constitutional amendment, and hence an ample field will bs left lor tbe selec? tion of persons to fill all the vacant offices, ex? cept perhaps the higher judgeships; but in the States not readmitted to representation the oath prescribed by the act of Congress, of July 2, 1862, will still be required of all persons elected or appointed to any office. I have colled for reports which will give the number of officers of the various grades in Virginia, who will be displaced by operation of the con? stitutional amendment, and will forward the specific information when obtained. For th e present I can only sta.e that the number will probably be several thousand, and that only a small proportion of the vacancies thus created can possibly bb filled by per? sons possessing tbe necessary qualifica? tions, including tbe ability to take the present test oath. In the judiciary de? partment, to dispense with the test oath, even, would probably be insufficient, for nearly all lawyers of sufficient experience to fit them for the bench held some office before the war, and hence are disqualiQed by the con? stitutional amendment. I have already ap? pointed in Virginia nearly fi ve hundred officers, and would have appointed more if qualified persons could be found. It is important to observe that the large majority of city, town andjeounty officers receive little or no compen? sation for their services. Hence, men who possess tbe necessary qualifications cannot be induced to accept such offices, except in the Elaces where they reside and own property, or ave some substantial interests. Reports nave been received from several portions of tbe State that no persons eau be found even to fill vacan? cies that now exists. When the constitutional amendment takes effect, a large number of im? portant offices must become vacant and remain so until restoration is completed, unless relief is afforded by Congress. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. M. SCHOFIELD. _? , ^ , J_ The Chinese Embassy. PRESENTATION OF TEE CELESTIALS AT THE WHITE HOUSE-SPEECHES OE HAND ABD? BURLINGAME AND PRESIDENT JOHNSON. On Friday lost at noon, Mr. Burlingame and thc rest of tho Chinese embassy, including the two mandarins, the two secretaries of legation, Messrs. Brown and Du Champs, and six native interpreters, were presented at the White House to the President by Secretary Seward, in the official Blue Boom. There was a large crowd at the Executive Mansion, drawn by cu? riosity, but the presentation was not public, no one being admitted as spectators except the President's Cabinet and secretaries^ all of I whom were present. The interview was very [ formal and ceremonious. Tho speeches deliv? ered were in substance as follows : Mr. Burlingame addressed the President, al? luding to his departure, seven years ago, from Washington as United States Minister to China, and his return as tbe Minister of that empire to the United States. He stated that the Imperial Chinese Government having, within the last three years, accepted tho laws of nations as they are allowed and practiced by the Western powers, has further concluded, if pei mit ted, to enter into communication through the customary diplomatic way with the United States, Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Holland, Italy, North Germany, Prussia, Spam and Sweden. He said: "We are charged, at the expense of what might bear the appearance of egotism, to say that there are nine official ranks in China. By showing greater possible respect to Western powers, tue letters to which I refer were committed to the care of myself of the fi rat rank, and to Chik Tajen and Sun Tajen, of the second rank, myself being invested with extraordinarv and plenipotentiary functions, and all of us being accredited to you as high ministers and en? voys. We have now the honor to deliver the letter of his Imperial Majesty, which is thus addressed to the President of tbe United States." The President, in his reply, acknowledged the compliment in the appearance here of this, the first mission from China to the western na? tions, as being not more singular than sug? gestive. Contrasting tho former reserve, not to say jealousy, of foreign nations towards the United States, he said that the natural thought of America to establish ultimately the Ameri? can continent and islands into American States is no longer anywhere contested, any more than the inherent right of mau to change domicile and allegiance. In conclusion he said : "I trust that the intelligent and enlightened Chinese Government and people will allow mo to build upon tbis day's transaction an expec? tation that their great empire, instead of re? maining, as heretofore, merely passive, will henceforth bo induced to take an active part in the general progress of civilization, There are several lines of navigation between Europe and China; citizens of the United States have al? ready constructed a road across the Isthmus of Panama, with a hne of steam service across the Pacific Ocean. In two or three years more there wiU be added to these facilities of inter? course the Pacific Railroad across our own con? tinent, and a ship canal constructed under Fronen patronage across the Isthmus of Suez. But there will yet remain besides all these, and more important than all of them, the great work of connecting the two oceans by a ship anal to be constructed across the Isthmus of | orien. To doubt the feasibility of such a work would imply an ignorance of the scieuce and wealth of the age in which we live. Your im? portant mission will enable you to contribute largely to the achievement of that great enter? prise. I respectfully invite you, therefore, to commend it to the favor ot the United States of Columbia, as well as to the Government of China, and the several European States to which you are accredited." CAPE FEAB FIBBE COMPANY.-Several enter? prising Virginians and a few others having purchased the Dudley mill property in Wil? mington, North Carolina, for the sum of $20, 000, are actively preparing for the establish? ment of works for thc manufacture of paper stock from our native cane or reed, under the above name. The Wilmington Journal says: The machino:y requisite for present wants has arrived and is now being landed from a schooner at the wharf of the company. It is calculated that this machinery will enable them to "blow out" about fifty tons of the paper stock per day. This company is con? nected with a manufactory of paper in Brook? lyn, New York, and will for the present mere? ly serve as an auxiliary thereto, simply manu? facturing the paper stock for use th;re. lt will give employment to about one hundred and fifty to two hundred laborers, thus greatly 'increasing tho chances of support for many needy men in our city. The company haH been regularly chartered. The principal stockholders arc Col. A. B. Jones, Dr J. P. Hale and Mr. I. N. Smith, all of Virginia. Cob Jones is now in the city superintending the preparations, which it is thought probable will occupy some six or eight weeks before completed. This work will undoubtedly f?rove an advantage to the city, and will serve o bring to it a business and trade heretofore unknown. The present object is, the manu? facture of paper stock from the cane or reed. The mode of treating the cane is as follows : "Tightly compressed bundles of it are p fin the steam-cylinders or guns and then subject? ed to the action of steam, at a pressure of | about one hundred and seventy pounds to the inch, for about ten minutes. The gums aud glutinous matters which hold the fibres togeth? er are thereby dissolved, or softened; and whilst in that state the cane is blown into the aii\bv the force of tho steam in the gun, and the Mbres are separated by the expansion of | the steam amongst them." 'thc fibres ure shot against a large target with considerable force, and. the discharge resemb es that of ] artillery. A .battery of ten steam guns of the smaller size," twenty-four feet long and twelve inches in diameter, will yield over fifty tons of | blown cane per day. To supply steam for the ten guns for twenty-four hours, less than ten tons of coal is required. No delicate machine? ry is required, nor skilled workmen. The company piopose hi the course of time manu? facturing box board, which article they can place in market at ten dollars less per ton than manufacturers who usc straw con sell it. Buy? ers, through their own interest, will be forced to this market, thus giving to the place a trade heretofore unknown. The paper made frcm the fibres of the cana is coming general? ly into use and has achieved a world-wide repu? tation. The cane in this section is inexhaus? tible. ? i - ? ?-r WOOLLEI'S DUNGEON.-It is understood that Mr. Woolley is again to be removed, fbif time to a more formidable prison room than even the one in which he is now incarcerated. Under the direction ot the defeated managers, and sided by the majority of the House, a mom is being ? prepared in the damp . nd dismal basementref the capitalfor the imprisonment of Coloneiv| Woolley, which will exceed, in severity of con- ' finement it imposes, the harshest disci r line in? flicted on convicted felons. Il is a close, Minali room in thc centre of tho building, with no out? ward prospect, and with a chilly dampness which will be fatal to health or life if ihe con? finement is long continued. luau ui gww ,?t?T?< -The crop accounts from all sections of Barnwell District are favorable. -Mr. James M. Johnson and Mrs. Jordan Bennet, both of Chester, died suddenly last week. -The wheat crop throughout Lancaeter Dis? trict promises an abundant yield. Some little mst is perceivable, but principally confined to the blade. -The wheat crop in Chester will not be so large as was anticipated at one time. The rust w?linjure it somewhat. It is DOW nearly ready for harvesting. Some email fields about town have been already gathered. -The Yorkville Enquirer says : "The 'Broad River Gold Mme' in this district is yielding rich returns to the company. ? few days ago we were shown by the superintendent, Mr. Secrest, two handsome chunks of gold, one weighing three-fourths of a pound, and the other two and- a-half ounces. The gold is represented to us as being of very fine quality." -The Columbia Phonix, of yesterday, gives an account of a negro riot which occurred on Friday night, originating in a political demon? stration in honor of the triumph of the Badi eal ticket in Richland. The row was finally squelched by a detachment of United States soldiers. Twenty of the ringleaders were ar? rested, and one negro was shot in the ann by a soldier. -A colored man by the name of Peter Bow? man was killed almost instantly on Tnuraday morning last, in the neighborhood of Barn? well C. H., by the accidental discharge of a rifle. It had been laid on a table in the back piazza, by another colored man, somewhere near a water shelf, and as he was setting down a pail of water, it is supposed, it scraped the trigger, thereby causing its discharge. The ball struck Peter, who was passing at the time, just below tbe eye, and he fell and immediately expired. -The Barnwell Sentinel says: On Tuesday last a very serious difficulty occured in this vil? lage at tbe jury room, where the votes were being polled, between W. J. Mi ion and A. V. Eaves, our present clerk of court. Several young men and boys were in the room, and, in turning or moving about, some one of them tread on a little dog belonging to Edwin Mix on. the son of W. J. Mixon. Edwin cursed one of the party, young Harley, who he supposed did it, and threatened to whip him. A general fight ensued, in whioh several of the boys en? gaged; one of them was knocked down by nix? on's eon, and Eaves, in attempting to part them, got into a difficulty with the father. He was struck first, we learn, and, having but one arm, determined if possible to defend himself. He dealt Mixon a severe blow on the head, and while engaged in this struggle, someone of the party who had a pistol fired on M., the ball en? tering his Bide, glancing down a rib, and, it is supposed, lodging in his stomach. Although suffering severely, hopes are entertain?d of his recovery. There are all sorta of exaggerated rumors afloat in regard to this difficulty. No one seems to know who shot Mixon. THE PBESB?TEBIAN REUNION.-The New York Sun notes the fact that the Old School and the New School Presbyterian General Assemblies have both agreed lo accept the plan of reunion which has been under discussion in those bodies, and to submit it to the approval of the | Presbyteries throughout the United States. The editor says : There is but little doubt that this approval will be almost unanimously given, as the great mase of the denomination are in favor of heal? ing the existing breach between its two prin? cipal divisions.

Douglas were removed from the grave at Chicago, on Wednesday, to their dual resting place in the mausoleum, under the auspices of the trustees of the Douglas Monu? ment Association, accompanied by a son of Mr. Douglas and others. Upon removing the lid covering the glass, tbe face of the illustrious senator was found to bo in a remarkable state of preservation, almost os natural as when buried seven years ago, excepting that the eyes are more sunken, the noso more contracted, and the surface of the forehead somewhat in? dented or pitted; but the complexion is very fair, the contour of the head and face apparent? ly unchanged, and the expression was quite natural and plainly recognizable. The hair looks as black and glossy as ever, aud the rai? ment as new and tidy as when first put on, ucl presenting the least evidence of mildew or dis? coloration.

RADWAY'S SARSAPARILLIAN RESOLVENT, to wit. : Brazil, S. A. Jamaica. W. I. En i-li India. Persia and Japan. (By correspondence.) Some years since it was d' emed necessary for the protection of the pnblic against the importation of | spurious roots and drugs, for Congress to pass a law establishing an Inspector of Drugs in every port of | entry in the United States. But this wise precaution does not prevent the importation of spurious roots, leaves and medicinal herbs. Nearly one-half of the ' Sarsaparillas, Pare ira Brava, Peruvian Bark, Ac, brought into this country and Europe are spurious, and when prepared for medicinal purposes are, in fact, useless, and fails to produce the beneficial re? sults that the chemist and physician expect to realize. That no such objection may exist and that the public may depend on securing the true roots in the Sarsaparillian Resolvent, Dr. Radway has adopt? ed (he plan of gathering the several roots, Ac, used in his medicines, under the direct supeivision of j trusty and intelligent agents. This is an enterprise never before attempted, and it ie ono long needed. The loose manner in which vegetable barks, roots, leave*?, gums, and other medi? cinal substances aie gathered hy '?jnorant natives, half Ea va ?es, Hottentots, kc, a-.d the cupidity of these rascals of substituting spurious for the true, in selling these roots, icc., to traders, causes many mis? takes, and often disappoints physicians m prescrib? ing a root possessing known properties in not fulfill? ing their expectations. Hence the wisdom and liberality of Dr. Radway in adopting a plan that will secure the true and gen? uine ve getable substances, fresh from their native soil, cultivated in gardens and attended with care. In Brazil he obtains pareira brava; Jamaica, W. L, sarsapa lillian; India, E. I., hemedesmm indiens; Persia, the Persian oil is expressed from the amyg. dale nut; Japan, thc three newly discovered roots are gr own under contract by a distinguished horticultur? ist, and the only country where these' roots are grown. 1 bese Japanese roots axe held in high esti? mation by the Nobles, Kaimos and distinguished savane, as purifying agents, also in the cure of dys? pepsia, indigestion, jaundice and liver complaints, and are used as tea, after dinner beverages, and as tonic drinks, diet mixed in wise, kc; also, possess the most astonishing virtues over skin diseases and impurities of the blood. RADWAY'S SARSAPARIL? LIAN RESOLVENT is, therefore, the most perfect remedy in the world. No wonder toe sarsaparillas of the shops are f u^h poor, weak washes compared with DR. RADWAY'S SARSAPARILLIAN. THE ROOT ITSELF differs from all sarsaparilla roots ever seen in this country.
