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.

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."

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

TUE CUBAN JtEVOJLUTION.
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?

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

The volunteers boast of having hacked U

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.

here and have families. Ihe country is at th
marcy of the worst kind of "canaille;" oortmon

COHEN.-^ud lonly on tho 6;h instant, lu tho
GOth year of her age, tho mortal spirit of MrB. COR ?
DELIA M. COHEN, the beloved wifo ol Dr. P.
MELVIN COHEN, winged its flight to her Creator.
In the various relations ol lite, as wile, mother
and friend, abo stood pre-emtneut. 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. Ordinary language tails to portray
tlie character of this noble d nighter of Isiaol. Pos?
sessed of tho divino accomplishments of pnot'y and
music, sh. formed a Corinthian, column of society's
edifice, aud long will Israel's dark-eyed daugti ters
aing ber choral hymns lu praise of the All-wisc and
G real Jehovah.
i he nurity and beauly of hor life wa* well delinea?
ted iu the remarks of tho Rev. Mr. CHUMICIBO, on
the sad occasion. 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.
And pious bearts united be,
O Maker, in thy praiBe."

MW COMMON SENSE RULES THE MASS
of thu people, whatever the misnamed and misan?
thropie philosophers may say to tho contrary. 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.

complaint from mother and father that their son or

that they feel languid; that their head aches; that
they are growing tbin and feeble and that they have
no life or energy left? That they aro low-spirited,
and perfectly incapacitated to particlpa'e in any

KW SARATOGA "A" 8PRLNG WATER.
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. A celebrated authority aaya: "The vir?
tues of mineral waters have been beat shown in the
treatment of obscure and chronic diseases."
