A PRECIOUS BOW IN THE RADICAL FAMILY RPBAGUB AND ABB J TT-REJECTI >N OF QUAKERS -ADJOURNMENT OF THE SENATE. WASHINGTON, April 23.-Senator Spraguo's words, which offended Abbott, were: "Mr. President, in answer to the tirade of thc sena? tor from Nevada and tho senator from North Carolina, I am reminded of a iittlo illustration. In my travels from the centre here into the rural districts through tho woods and farms of tho surrounding neighborhood, chanco at one time brought me to a farm-house. I discover? ed on looking up a largo mastiff and a mon? grel puppy-dog. Tho little dog moved on mi with rapidity from behind, bit at my heels, and then frightened at his temerity, van howling away, followed by his larger companion. The S?nate will observo that tho mongrel whining puppy, en louragcd by tho mastiff and embold? ened to make the attack fr jin tho shadow of his baoker, ran rapidly away alarmed at his temerity, whilst the overgrown cur followed after, with cars flapped and tail between his lege, to a place of safety beside hts menaced companion." During yestordiy evening Abbott threaten? ed to horsewhip Sprague unions he retracted. In tho Senate last night, Abbott said: "When I arose in the executive session some time ago to ask that the doors be opened, I said that I didnot intend to utter anything unbecoming this floor. What I did intond to do was to ask the senator from Rhode Island if he intended to apply the form puppy to mc as is implied in the connection, of that language. If he did intend to apply it to me, my purpose was t J ask him for a retraction as full as the implica? tion of the language, and, if he refused that retraction, my intention was to ask for satis? faction out of thia chamber. I now, sir, give notice, inasmuch as the senator has skulked out of tho chumbar, that I intend to have satisfaction outsido of the chamber." Sumner called Abbott to order, anl after much confusion he was allowed to say in ex? planation : "I will state that I am not a duellist. I was not educated as a duellist, and I did not mean that sort of a thing; bat I meant to say that tho senator from Rhode Island must make a retraction as broad as the assertion (order I j and that I shall have that satisfaction outside of this chamber in sumo way. There was a false report that Sprague left town early thin morning, and that Abbott was absent from his usual'haunts; but it is now known that Sprnguo has been at home all the morning, and has not hoard from Abbott. LA rt?.-Buimlui Oj^xugUC rodo Ollt RS UUUul to-day; he gives a dinner-party to-night. No definite report has been received of Abbott's movements or intentions. The expected interview between the Presi? dent and the Wells' wing of tho Virginia Re? publicans failed to-day. There was a full Cabinet to-day. The Austrian Minister Jay, having received instructions, will sail on the 9th of May. Seoretary Buutwell will go to Boston until the middle of next month. Senator Morton is convalescent.

The Senate rejected tn o of tho twelve Qua? kers whom the President nominated as Indian Agents. The Senate adjourned sine die at 1.80 this morning._ EUROPE. THE SPANISH THRONE-THE COUTES DIVIDED ON THE SUBJECT. MADRID, April 21.-Another informal meet? ing Of the members of the majority in the Cortes was held to-day to nominate a candi? date for the throne. So great was the diversi ty of opinion that the meeting broke up with? out result, leaving member? more widely divid? ed thin before on the subject. Prime Minister Serrano declared that .ho chotee of Montpen sier for King, or a declaration of a Republic were the only possible alternatives. General Prim, who was also present, remained silent throughout the proceedings. His conduct has given rise to widespread belief that he would be unwilling to accept the Presidency of the Spanish Republic. J MADRID, April 28.-The Cortes have con sidered the newspaper laws, and the amend? ment establishing a modified censorship was rejected, and the original provision guaran teeing liberty of the press, freedom of meet in g and association, and right of petition, was adopted by a large majority. It is expected the government will abolish duties on cotton and coal. The Cortes is considering the project for the reorganization of the army on the Prussian system.

PROM THE STATE CAPITA Jj* A Sketch or thc Negro Bond Case-Pointe of General McGowan's Argument, [FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COLUMBIA, April 22.-The Supremo Court has beou much interested in hearing the case of Margarito M. Calhoun, Duff G. Calhoun ot al, ads. Floride Calhoun and Thomas G. Clemp son, adr.-bill for foroclosuro of mortgage. McGowan and VVhaloy tor appellants; Noble and Thomson for appellees. The farm known as Fork Hill, tho home place of John C. Cal? houn, with fifty negroes and other personal property, was sold by his widow, Mrs. M. M. Calhoun, and daughter, to her son, A. P. Cal? houn, in 1854, for $49,0^0, with fifteen years allowed for payment', and the whole property was covered by a mortgage. A. P. Calhoun died shortly after int catato, and the appellants in the oaso wero his heirs. Nono of the dobt was paid up to 1865, whon a bill was filed to foreclose the mortgage, th a validity of winch was discussed in court boforo Chancel. lor W. D. Johnson, who decreed in favor of the appellees; but an appeal was obtained, and the case is now before the Supreme Court. Tho main point a! issue is the validity of the contnet lor tho fifty slaves, and it is oortainly a caso of momentous interest. The following aro brief heads of the argument of General S. McGowan, without quoting the host of authori? ties or going into the argument at large, whioh wis not based on mere technicalities, but on the spirit and broad intent of the law: 1. In every sale of slaves tor full valuo, the seller warranted tho titlo of the Blaves against all dofects, kuown and unknown, and tho sub? s?quent abrogation by tho government of the laws establishing slavery, was a breach of that covenant of warranty. 2. Tho loss of Blaves by emancipation amounts to a failure of consideration, and where it occurred whilst contracts for slaves wore executory, the court will not enforce them, because the thing purchased was not enjoyed. 3. Contracts for slaves'aro now made not only void but criminal, and tho local provisions whioh made slavery legal and gave validity to those contracts hoing abrogated, the courts will not now enforce them. 4. Such contracts will not be enforced here, because slavery is now against the policy cf tbe realm,- and it is as much tho duty of courts to enforce the policy as the positive enactments of tho Sta'.e. 5. The Constitution of the State of South Carolina explicitly declares suoh contracts "null and void and of no effect.-' 6. The 4th section of tho Fourteenth Amend? ment of the Constitution of the United States declares all claims for the emancipation of slaves "shall bo held illegal and void." Mr. Wm. Whaley was heard to-day on the some side. His main points have boen sent you by telegraph. HALIFAX. TUE PUCE If IX AND GOVERNOR SCOTT'S CENSUS A PP OINTMENTS. [From tho Anderson Intelligencer.] Tho Columbia Phonix of Tuesday publishes a list of appointments made by Governor Scott of persons selected to t ak o thc ?ousus of each county in the State, and in connection there? with makes uso of the follow ng language: "The appointments will be generally approved, and we hope that in tho discharge of their du? ties these officials will meet with every facility whioh can be afforded by tho ci tizo HQ of our State." Now, when it is declared that one third of the persons named are negroes, and the majority of thom totally unqualified for the position, the statement of the Phonix will be re? ceived with surprise and indignation. Publish? ed at the capital of the State, and wit ii facilities to obtain information not excelled by another journal within its borders, the Phonix makes the grandest mistake in presuming that such appointments will be "generally approved.'' So far from this being the case, we moline to the opinion that they will be generally con? demned. Heretofore, newspapers at the capi? tal have been looked npon as the exponents of public sentiment throughout the State, but it ought to bo distinctly understood that, in this instance, there ts a lamentable failure to ap- | predate public sentiment, much less to give tone and direction to public opinion. Buch appointments will not bo "generally approved,4' now or hereafter, for the principle is wrong to confer office upon Incompetent and unworthy persons, of whatever race or color. We are not astonished by ihe course Gover? nor Scott has pursued in making these appoint? ments. He ia cheek by Jowl with the negroes, and it re elected will owe his second elevation to their support. His appointment for this county is against the wishes of hie own party. BO far as we can learn, and we understand that a petition was circulating among the respecta? ble colored people on yesterday, auking Gover? nor Scott to reconsider the matter. There were other applications before him, we have been assured, and among them the name of T. J. Webb, who is entirely competent to fill the place, and possesses every qualification to meet the requirements of thc Republic m party, including loyalty itself. Besides, he waa recommended by numerous citizens of both parties. Why were his claims ignored, and the office filled by a colored mah not at all quali? fied ? Bat, then, the Phonix says such ap? pointments will be ** generally approved." Et tu Ernie? LIABILITIES AND ASSETS OF TOA STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

A Special Agent Dispatched to Cabs by the President-Movements ot tho Fili? busters-Letter from llRvnna-He view of the ltcvolt. Advices from Washington say that it is now well known that a special agent has been sent to Cuba by tho Presidont, to invest igato tho situation there and report the results. Tho agoni left several clays ago. On the strength of this report will depend tho action which is to bo taken by our government with regard to tho recognition of Cuban independence. The views of the agent who has been selected for this important mission aro such that no cir? cumstance will be lost sight of that will tend to prosent the affairs of tbe revolutionists in a favorable light. The Filibusters. Tho rumors regarding contemplate d expedi? tions from tho (States to Cuba aro not incor? rect, and a forco of formidable dimensions, under the command of a prominent Western general, is being prepared. Attention is being diverted from tho real port of embarkation by the publication of falso places, and tho roal point has not been selected, but it will'be nei? ther at New Orleans nor New York. The in? surgen ls'friends avor that we shall soon get tho nows of tho recognition of the insurgents by Mexico and Pogota, and that their act will be isoon followed by Chili,Colombia and Ecuador. A dispatch from Washington, in iho Boston Advertiser of tho 19th Instant, says : Dispatches from Savannah lead tho frionds of the Cuban revolution here to believe that General J. B. Steedman has made a successful landing in Cuba with a picked loree o' mon. The expedition hos been in preparation for a number of months. General Steedman him? self spent two wooks in Havana, and during the latter part of the time was BO far under ar? rest as to be ordered quietly by the Captain General to report to him daily. Tho first ren? dezvous of his party was on one of the islands near New Orleans. When Admiral Hoff receiv? ed his first orders the headquarters of the expedition were changed to a point on the Flor? ida coast. A blockade-runner, captured from the rebels in the late wai, was obtained, and tho belief is that near one thousand men, well supplied with arms and thoroughly accustomed to their use, have made a landing on the Cuban shore. The New York Herald says : For several weeks the Cubans in this city have been quietly but assiduously working to aid their brother revolutionists in the field by the shipment of men, money and munitions to them. Volunteering is going on very rapidly, . ' bmV very quietly, and the recruits are promptly forwarded in small detachments to Cuba. Very recently a full battery of field artillery, completely equipped and manned, was dispatched, and information has been received of its Ba fe arrival. AWashington telegram, of the 21st inst., says: Dispatches have been received hero from Admiral Hoff, commanding the Quit' squadron, in which he states that, as far as be bas been able to ascertain, no troops or munitions of war of any account have been landed on the Island of Cuba. He also states that ho has failed to discover that any moro have departed from the sheree of the United States. It is also stated that the Spanish minister here is of the opinion that in the case of tho schooner Mary Powell, the Spanish authorities in Cuba will refer tho demands of tho United States Government.to the home government in Spain before any aotion will bc taken in the matter. The New York Herald says: Secretary Fish on Tuesday was called upon by Senor BobertB, the Spanish Minister, who demanded that a proclamation discouraging filibuslering expeditions from sailing to Cuba should be issued by the Presiden v. The Sec? retary promptly declined to do anything of the sort, and said that as there was a revolutionary organization in aims in Cuba, formed by tho native Cubans under their own provisional government, he could see no good reason to inder the departure of any persons from this country who may choose to take np arms in their service. Minister Roberts, it is said, withdrew very much surprised, and afterwards submitted the same demand in writing. Id regard to the Mary Lowell affair, Secretary Fish has concluded that the British govern? ment is liable to ns for permitting her to be captured in British water a, aud he has there? fore made representations to that effect to the British minister. As for, the Lizzie. Majors, however, Beveral days ago ho demanded fall reparation and indemnity from the Spanish government through Senor Roberts, who con? ceded the Justness of the elaiind, and guaran? teed that Spain would make satisfactory repa? ration. He promised to lay the matter before his home government immediately, but yester? day he informed the Secretary that bo had not heard from the covornnuoni since. The Secre? tary then diplomatically informed him that war woald, ensue if an answer was not forth? coming shortly. A Review of the Progress of the Revo? lution. ? It ia now six months since Garlos Manuel C?spedes at Yara, in Ute 'Eastern Department of Cuba, began the revolution which now oc? cupies the attention of the world. Then nc ene bad faith in the Cubans. The earnestnesi of their purpose, their courage, their peras veranee, their fighting qualities'Were doubted Now they h?ve established themselves firmly in the good opinion of mankind. > The Spaniards have made three distinc movements for the suppression of this revolt The first was in the East ern Department undo: Val in soda. He was sent out from Havana ti get possession of Baynmo, then the nev?lo Lion ary headquarter*. After immense diffioultiei and heavy losses, be arrived at his destina tion, with his decimated troops worn out w?t? skirm.sb.es, which had never ceased along thai whole line of march. But the little town h< was sent to subdue was burned by its peopl before he got there, and its occupation avail* nothing toward the subjugation of the Cubana On the contrary, he immediately fonnd him self abut up there, surrounded by a watcufu enemy, whom he could not bring to action but who never -ceased to pick off his ont posts harass his foraging parties, and capture hi convoys. Ha is still at Bay imo. and keep bodies of troops at Jibara, Holguln, and Jigu ant ; bdt he is jost as far from conteolllna tb department as he was the day be landed a Nuevitas and began his march southward. The next campaign was that of Lesea, wh marched from Guanaja to relieve Puerto Prio cipe in the Central Depar.meot. where th Spanish garrison was besieged by the insm gents under QoesadS. The new leader brough to the work a ?mure powerful force than ha previously been collected by the government and he set ont with loud declarations cf hi purpose to exterminate the rebels wherever h should meet them. The result was identical wit that which had come upon Vahneseda. He wa assailed by invisible enemies nt every stol and after, a long, arduous, and circuitous ai vaneo, in which he nowhere got a oka-ice fairl to strike hi? foo, be entered Puerto PriOQipi having lost di officers and 189 soldiers killet and more than 400 wounded, besides two-third of the convoy of ammunition and provision; and all the money that he had taken with bin Since then he, too,,.has been shut up in th placo bo came to relieve, worso off and i greater danger than his predecessor. The third and last of these great operation consisted of a concentric movement of thii columns directed upon Siguanea, m the s?ult western part of tho Central Department. Oil column of 2000 men, under General Escalante marched from Alvarez, in the District of S icm one of 1000, under Bjaoeta, from Villa Clari and tbe third of 1000. under Letona, proceed? northward from Trinidad. These columns mt with s similar oxporioneo. They for nd no o: ganised bodies ot rebels in their way, mr thc were annoyed by partisan attacks which thc could neither prevent nor punish. Of tl losses of Escalante and Buoet a wo have no h formation; bat those of Letona amounted i three hundred, nearly one-third of bis who force. But tho worst of it for the Spaniards i that they gamed nothing whatever by the m der taking. If they could have brought the ii sargents to battle and killed or captured then it would have been something to cu titer ba ance their losses. Bat cn enemy who oann< be seen or fired st. and who not only ?retu you from every thicket, and surtnaoe ye from every mountain path and plantation ros but bolds tbe country after you havo passed through it, is a very inconv?nient enemy indeed. This third movement doubtless ends tho active efforts of tho Spaniards for tho present HO; non. There v?as a report of a battle near Remedios, but it is doubtless an exaggeration. The rubans have not fought a regular battle, and do not m MID td. The rains which arc now beginning, and whioh will last turon. b the next throo months, will render the country impracticable for tho Spaniards. Every road will become a quagmire, and only tho natives csR get about at eli. The Spaniard* wm there? fore havo to withdraw. Evan their arrisons at such places as Baynmo and Puerto Principe, will doubtless bo moved to rbe sea coast from the impossibility of supporting them inland. Then tho yellow lever will begin its work, and tho small Spanish army cannot fail to bo great? ly weakened by this oanse in the oourse of tho summer. Still, we may aa well understand that they will not give up the contest for that reason. They are exceedingly pertinacious, and will fight for years after all hopo of suc? cess is abandoned. Lett or from an Influential Cuban-Thc I sin nd Drenched with Blood ~-Ylie Mob HioOlsing Forward to the liny ot* Gen? eral Massacre. The New York Sun publishes tho following lotter : HAVANA, April 10.-I take pleasure in vs ri ting these lines to the good brother, since, thank God, 1 may count myself yet among tho liviug, even if only half alive. My principal object is to press upon you the necessity of untiring perseverance tor tho prompt remittance to us of aid iu aims and war material, because if these do not reach us very quickly, and in abun? dance, wo shall perish all. Against everything Cuban there exists an implacable hatred, sud there is a thirst for blood and extermination. MUBDEBS OF UNPARALLELED ATBOOIT?. Assassinations multiply daily; there is not the least personal security, and we are all doomed to death. You have probably heard already of the assassinations perpetrated in Macurigou by the conimr udor of volunteers, Durante; those at Colon, Palmillas and other places by tho sadly distinguished Chapelgor ris; that at Coi dena* by Don Felipe Pelayo, upon tho person ot Don Geronimo Valladares, after piercing bim with ten bullets only for the pleasure of killing him, and a mulatto, and robbing them of all tho objects of value tbey had. His c jrpso was dragged to t he barracks, and there his breast was twice pierced with the bayonet. In Bomba they killed Don Anto? nio Cadiz, Don Lore ta Inda, and many o tho is with whose names I am not acquainted. THE ASSASSINATION OV YOUNO OLIVA. I c innot omit mentioning hero the virtuous and industrious young man Don Nicolas Oliva, murdered in Bemba in the most cowardly and barbarous manner. At four o'clock .in che morning be left his home, leaving his old mother, his Wife and two children, one of these a child twenty days old. de went v?ut to his work to earn tho bread for those beings whose existence relied entirely upon the work ol his hands. At about six squares from his house he was murdered, having his back pierced with bayonets, and ho was also robbed in the name of sacred love for Spain. It saddens tho soul to hear of snob shocking deeds, too numerous to relate. It is unnecessary to tell yon that all this is done by tba rabble, without country, virtue, or honor, called tho volunteers, "the supporters ot order." THE LIVING MUMMY COW EBING BEFOSE HIS MOB. Dulce is a coward, who trembles before the volunteers, and approves th ir acts of vandal? ism. Still ho has been been put into such a fix by the commissions of volunteers who have como from Colon, Cardonas, Matanzas and other places, to exaot from him tho dismissal ot tboir governors, that wit h all haste be or dei ed a body of artillery-from the seat of war to ?nrr?son the Moro and the Cabana, and for tho garrison at Matanzas be called the batall?n de ?ap?les (battalion ojy*$ap.les.) THE VOLUNTEERS DEMANDING BLOOD. In Matanzas it was something scandalous. They wished that on Saturday of Glory the ?oung prisoner, Don Manuel Despau, should e given up to them (the volunteers) to cele brate the Aleluya (religious lest; val j by drag ging him through the streets. The Governor and a commander of veteran troops who had charge of bim in the barracks with only fifty men, being both honest, refused to deliver him. The murmur continued thus for several days, until the Governor one day sent the pris? oner to the capital at break of day. As soon as they heard of it three companies -of those barbarous' men went to the Plaza de Armas (a square in Matanzas) to demand that the pris? oner be delivered up to them. PINTO COURAGEOUSLY DETTES THE H. Seno Lopez Pinto wont down to the Plaza and tried to pacify them, but the mob did not understand reason. Finally, losing all pa? tience, he dre v his sword and told them he would break it into a hundred pieces sooner than oonsont to bo bullied by suah a mob. Thireupon they took their stand at the Casino, and in the evening tbey came to Havana by the train, fifty of them, the brave men, com? manded by Tonrodon, and well equipped and armed, to ask the Captain-General for the de? livery into their h and sy of the prisoner, that they might take him back to Matanzas. For? tunately the live mummy would not consent to it: but on the following day Colonels Ramon, Herrera, Valdivielao and Rizo had to go to Ma? tanzas, worthy chief truly of those hordes, in order to satisfy, tame ?Sown, and pisase th? scoundrels. A DAY OV MOURNING IN HAVANA. Yesterday was a day of mourning for thu city, not only because the brave martyrs ol their country. Leon and Medina, sufferec death by the vilo par?te (and they died Uk? heroes, crying out ..Long live Cuba free enc independent, i but also because the brave volunteers, indignant at Such a display of cour ago and heroism, gave vent to their faolingi by firing iudiscrimioately and charging witt the bayonet into the defenceless multitude Different reports estimate the L umber of killed wounded, and injured at from aix to twenty The volunteers boast of having hacked U pieees, in his own house, an unfortunate father o?a family who lived in that neighbor hood. THE PRETENCES UNDKB WHIOH CUBANS A BJ KILLED. Of oourse, as on other previous occasions they pretend that seditious cries were uttered and that ahota were fired from the'terraces but thconly things to aooonnt for these act are the ferocity and their thirst for Cubai blood. '.When I listen to the n to-day rolatini their exploita against i ?.'oncolesa men, andan nouncing that the "great day" (general mas saeic) ia close at hand, 1 caa scarcely keep m hands from tearing them to pieces. The; have made many arrests and win continue wit! their murders.

Her entire life waa devoted to tbe promotion ol tbe happiness ol'all endeared to her, and, in ber < iBol il capacity aa Pre? sident Ol the "He&rew i.adier Benevolent Society," the poor ot Israel will long remember thc kind and noble manner in which she delighted to dispense ber charities.

Ho feelingly and truthfully paid: "Have I to bring to your memory this dear depart? ed, who but a fow hours ago, was the pride of her husband, children, a great number of iriouds, and, wo may add, the pride of Israel ?" "Poesy in all nor words, works and actions was her gra :e and beauty. Every faithful mother in Is? rael will hand it ovor to her child, and thus praise h:r grace and beaury for all eternity. I have en? deavored ta speak of her according to her merits, according to the gratitude which every true Israel? ite has to tender her. 1 will not dare to praise her as wife, mother and friend, for every ono who is b' re assembled and knew hor has to confess that ehe was the moat perfect among the imperfect." "I have to remain silent*In regard to her virtues, devotion and love which ehe exhibited in social life " ' 'Whit, my heart cannot produce at'thia moment I w?l find in the utterance of her n?art : "Great God of fbo faithful, unto Theo, thee alone. Must we bow In submission Before thy great throne." "No mortal can offer her family consolation; this is only lelt to tho Great God of the faithful, to her Lord and Creator, ia whom the trusted, lived and died." "Shall we mourn tho destruction of the greatness of thia daughter of Israel ? We will unite in the tear? of her husband and children for the destruc? tion ol their temple of love. As exiles they are left on earth, their greatness and pride have bo com e a ruin. But tbe Great God of the faithful, in His everlasting mercy, will have pity on these orphans. He will bring these exiles, husband and children, to the laud of promise in Heaven, and there, united with the faithful one, will offer unto their Heavenly Father Aer song and psalm : "The eyes ot all abaU wait on Thee, ' For perfect are thy ways.

Show them a good thing, let ita merits bat clearly demon? strated, and they will not hositate to give it their most cordial patronage. The misson have already ratified tho judgment of a physician concerning tho virtues of HOSTETTER'S BI ITTERS, aa may be seen in the immense quantities of this medicino that are annually sold in every section of the land. It 1B now recognized as greatly superior to all other remedies yet devised for diseases of the digestive organs, such as diarrhoea, dys ntery, dyspepsia, and for the va? rious fevers that arlee from derangement of those portions of the system Hostel tor's name is rapidly becoming a household word, from Maine to Texas, from the she res of the Atlautio to the Pacific. These celebrated STOMACH BI IT EH S have doubtless cre? ated as much sensation in tho community for their remarkable cures as any other medicino extant It is a faot that in tbo minds of many persone a preju? dice exista against what are called patent medicines j but why should this prevent you resorting to an ar? ticle that has such an array of testimony to support it aa HOSTETTBR'S STOMACH BITTERS. Physicians preoribe it; why should you discajd il? Judges, usual? ly considered men of talent, baye and do use it in their fami.les; why should you reject it? Let not your prejudice usurp your reason, to the everlasting in? jury of your health. It ia the only preparation of the kind that ia reliable in all cases, and it ls there? fore worthy of the consideration of tho afflicted. The BITTERS are pleasant to the taste, agreeable in their effects, and altogether valuable as a tonic or remedy for indigestion.

That they aro low-spirited, and perfectly incapacitated to particlpa'e in any pleasures, or perform any mental or physical duty.

Saratoga, lu tho State of New York, is one of the moat remarkable mineral reservoirs upon the surface of the globe. Within au area of a mile in diameter are some thirty mineral springs-no two of them alike. In some of the waters, Chloride of Sodium predominates; in others, Iodine, Magnesia, Sulphur, Chalybeate, &c. The beneficial effects of some of these waters, aa medicinalv agents, are known throughout the civilized world. Probably one hun? dred thousand persons visit these Springs annually. Many huudred thousand bottles of the water are transported and consumed in tho various localities of the country. . The SARATOGA ?A? SPRING WATER is pro? bably the most effective mineral water found on either continent. It will be observed that it has ten per cent, greater mineral properties than the cele I bruted Congress Spring; four tunes that of Baden Baden of Austria; Ave times that of Aix la Chapelle ,"in Prussia; twice that of Vichy in France; nearly three times greater than the renowned Seltzer of ! Germany; and equally over the Spas of Bath, Eng? land, and Kissengen in Bavaria. The reputation of thia waler la based upon its effects in diseases of the stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys, and spleen, and acts with wonderful bene? fit in caaes of Chronic Dyspepsia, Constipation, ' Gravel, Gout, Scrofula, Cutaneous Affections, Gene i al Lethargy, Soreness, and Prostration of the sys? tem. The value of mineral waters has been prized and acknowledged by medical men since the earliest | civilization.
