DENT AND GRANT. , Mississippi Polities-Letter ot Jwdge Dejat to General Grant-A StirSJttaug ' View of the A almasot R adlralism by . a epufollc aa. The following is an extract from the letter?J written by Judge Dent, of Mississippi, in reply to one received from President Grant in ile early part of the present mooth. President Grant, in tb? letter referred to, gave his reasons for casting the weight of his influence in favor of tbe Radical party ia Mississippi, and it is to that part that Judge Dent replies thus: Is it reasonable t -> snppsse that a people having the free choioe of tb&'r representativo* would elect for their rulers a class of poli ti? tians whose aggressive and hostile conduct hitherto has rendered them peculiarly obnox? ious and disagreeable ? This ia the charge made by the people of Mississippi against the Radicals, or " bitter-ondere, * as they are called. This charge is not made beca ase they fought against the Sooth and secession, for many of that class fought on the side cf the Booth. It is not made because they are of Northern birth and ?ducation, for many men of North? ern birth and education and of the Northern army are wi tb os m antagonism to thu ob? noxious party. It fat not because they are Re? publicans, for theo* an tagon ia: a were among the first in the Booth to organize on the Re? publican platform and to advocate the civil and political equality of all men, were sent as delegates to Chicago, and for their consisten? cy and constancy were rewarded by yon with offices Of trust and honor. Bat- this charge is made, as I have said be? fore, because the proscriptive antecedents sud aggressive policy of these politicians towards the people of Mississippi have made them the objects ot peculiar abhorrence. That policy consists not only in the continual advocacy of ' proscription, bat iu a tune of profound peace, such . revolutionary doctrines os excite and direct against the white meu of the South and their families a most dangerous animos? ity, snob animosity, indeed, which, with con? tinuation of the same rael, would inevitably lead to a black man's party and a war of taces. Neither are such doctrines pr^ac jed with au honest desire to ameliorate tho condition of I the freedmen, or promote the ends of peace, or strengthen the Republican party io the South, bat solely to alienate from toe planter the time honored confideuce and affection of this race, in order that the new political element, ander the brauer of Republicanism, might be en? tirely controlled and subordinated to their own purposes of power and aggrandizement, and to this class of men whom you foiled in their attempt to force upon the people of Mis? sissippi the odious constitution, rejected at the ballot-box, yon now pi ve the band of fel? lowship and support, and sporn from yon that other class who, accepting tba invitation of the Republican party m good faith, came MI masse in Virginia and Tennessee, as they will come in Mississippi and Texas, to stand ripon its platform and advocate its principles. THE OLD DOMINION. General Conby Bad tLe Iron-Clad Oath. A Washington letter to the Baltimore Son says: Politicians here are not disposed to place much relia: c:- upon the report telegraphed from Bichmond that General tanby will issac bis proclamation in tea days declaring the re? sult ot the election, convening tbe Legislature, applying the trot.-clad to members, and giving the seat of a member who carnot take the oath to the candidate receiving the next highest number of votes. The Virginia Badisals, it is thought, are-ready for desperate measures, and for a resort to any reckless scheme to gam possession of the Legislature and secare a United States senator, and this dispatch, it ii said is thrown oat as a "feeler." -Wh le General Cadby doubtless sympathized with the Wells party, he is not prepared to violate all sense of political propriety and go to the extreme lengths indicated iu this dis? patch. A gentleman here, who is ta his con? fidence, and who was as anxious as any ODO elso before the elect iou for the success of Gen? eral Wells, says he does not behove that Gene? ral Canby has indicated to any human being an authorization to make such publication as the above. Bat io all tho discussions ot the matter the President and General Caoby have been only mentioned as having control of the subject, wheo the fact is that, uoder the recon j true lion laws. General Sherman has something to say and do about it. io tts great desire to have Mr. Johnson shorn of as mach of his power as possible, the Fortieth Congres* gave the general or the army almost supreme control over these recon? struction measures. These laws have never yet all been repealed, and it is possible that General Sherman may yet bave mach to say io the matter, sod it is not believed that he will permit BOCO actioo as that indicated ia the dis? patch above quoted. Nor do well-informed gentlemen believe that the President himself will countenance what is suggested. His dis? position seems to bs rather to place confidence rn the Virginians and allow them to reconstruct their State on the basis indicated by their last election, when the people spoke plainly in favor of a conservative policy tor the State. The people say they acted and voted in good faith, and the President is behoved to be dir posed to give their sincerity a fair test. THE TOI SO LI O y OF HEW HITBLAJI A Talk with Ur.

The New York Son pi nobes a long account of an interview held one of its reportera with Mr. Adams, which quite interesting. After eliciting the views Mr. Adams on the local politics of Massact setts, in the course of wt icu it was hint that the notorious Butler is eohamingto ob ti Henry Wilson's seal io the United States 8e a e, tbe reporter asked : "Can jon tell me. ft Adams, in what-estimate General Grant is he by i be Republicans of New hnglaud?" A BULL TH A CHIRA JHOP. . Mr. Adams smiled and replied: "They a io a terrible flt. They ate mortified, cha tined, disgusted with their President, ai don't know how to help themselves. Tb can't control bim; nobody can control hu and be has no-political ability to conti himseir. He is ont of Jais element in the E eouti7e office, and feels it. Slate matters a a bora to him.

Tho' Republican party : > ew England is an aristocratic party,, gad -di likes tbe course General Grant is purruin But they can't help the m se I ve a, and they fe the mortification all the mor J keenly oa tlu . account." "How do yon ascount for the singular fo sign policy of bis administration ?" I asked. ' h?. FISH'S FOBEIGN POLICY. "The foreign policy, so far as it is develo] ed," ne replied, "I attribute exclusively to tt influence and direction of Mr. Fish. It 1 popularly known, 1 suppose, that the Pr?s dent and all the Cabinet, with tho possible e: oeption of the Attorney-General, were diapot ed to adopt, in our relations both with Spai and England, a very dangerous and throaiei mg policy. Mr. Fish was firm io bis opposi tion to such a course, and I think the roan will prove the wisdom of the policy he ha stamped upon the administration. There wa a time, immediately after their uttcranes when the whole co on try seemed carried a wa; with Mr. Sumner's views se expressed in hi ramona speech; but calm and deliberate reflec tion bas convinced the most of us of tbe fal lacy of those views. Mr. Fish had the saga city to detect the error ef them at the time ana the cour s ge to face publto opinion in oppos ing them. I confess that I do not clearly un demand bis policy io detail, and espeolall: his singular attitude toward Cuba. Bat have confidence in bis eminent abilities as i statesman, and feel ensured that he will man age these delicate effiirs so as to evolve awi? solution." '.Do you not think," I suggested, "that tb* country sympathizes with the Cubans in thei struggle for freedom, and that the influenct of our government should ba exerted in then behalf." TEBBXrORIiX. ACQUISITIONS. "Ihardly thins, ' be replied, "that the masi of IheneoDle in this COUntrV nara s ny thins about tJaat BtroKjrre." xrre people of New Eng land aro not concerned about it. The Wee cares nothing about it. In New York there ii considerable feeling on the subject, which ii carefully nursed and Kept alive by inlerestec parties. There are many Cubans residing it New York, a nu that city has a large and profi table trade wita Cuba. Hence their interest ii this struggle. But that interest is by ni means general throughout the country, lt ii true, I suppose, that the country would like to acquire Cuba. That acquisitiveness is one o the banes of our people. We not only woult like Cuba, but we would like the greater por? tion ot Mexico, all of Canada, and perhaps other contiguous territory. It may be, too that we are destined to possess all this conti neut, sod more, too, for all I know. But 1 vert much question whether so great territorial ex? tension will benefit ns much." TEE SOUTH DEMOCRATIC-HOW THE NEGBOEf WILL VOTE. "You took a run through the South last year, Mr. Adams," I remarked. "What wa? the result of your ob salvations in that direc tion? Can the Republican party retain the control of that section of the conn "try?" "By DO means," he replied. "As fast as the States have restored to them their political privileges and rights, they will reassert their independence ot this ruting power. It is all nonsense to suppose that the labor of that sec? tion will forever subject itself to the control of a few adventurers. At present tho negroes are kept in a state of political excttemeot and semi-antagonism to the Southern people foi partisan purposes. Lot really the negroes care nothing about politics. It "Ielt to themselves they would scarcely ever assert their political nghts. Not that I would have thom denied those rights, or restrained from exercising them; but it is not in their Dature or dis? positions to care for them. In the cities they may, and probably will always lake an ac? tive part in party oonlcsts; bot the DUBS of the negroes, as is welt known, are scattered in small colonies on distant plantations, and afcer this uu na tu.ul excttemeot passes away, and they are loft to themselves, politics will be the least of their concerns, except onoa a year, when their employers will ask them to the polls to vote. Then, of coarse, they will vote what? ever ticket their employers or overseers put into their bands. So tho political power io that section will very soon lapse into the bauds of those who have always wielded it. And they are now beginning to see this inevitable tendency. Hence their readiness to accept reconstruction undet the present plan. They knew that while a set of carpet-baggers are temporarily placed in power, it is but a step? ping stone to their own restoration to political supremacy." THE FIFTEENTH AMENDAIENT. "What is your opinion of the proBpe?s of the adoption of tbe Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution ?" I asked. "I think," he replied, "that it will make but little difference whether it is adopted or not. It is inconsistent with tho former portion of tho constitution, ?nd is therefore invalid. If declared adopted, when tho Democratic party comes into power it will simply ignore it," "Would the Supreme Court pronouuee it in? valid because ol' that inconsistency ?" I asked. THAT FABCE, THE SUPREME C0UET. "Our Supreme Court,'' he replied, "is a farce. It has no independence. It is under coercion, lt bas forfeited the respect due it as a separate and coequal branch of the govern ment. Its judgments do not cany with them the weight they did in former years. They avoid the discussion of constitutional ques? tions under the dictation of Congress, and have really no control ot su;h questions. lu fact, Mr. Sheridan, our whole form of govern? ment bas cnanged. We h tve a written consti? tution, it is true; bat it is almost/'wholly ig? nored. It has been altered, patched, and amended until its consistency is all destroyed, and it is almost a meaningless instrument. Our legislation is not affected by the restric? tions of any organic law. As Mr. Thaddeus Stevens expressed it, our legislation is extra cooatitotiOLal, or outside of the constitution. We have ceased to ba governed by the written fundamental law, but have adopted the En? glish idea of as unwritten constitution, varia? ble in its character, and adaptable to events ai they occur." THE DATS OF THE BEPUBLICAN PARTY NUMBERED. "This revolution has been wrought by the Republican party, you think?" I interposed. "Wholly so," be replied. "The Democrats surrendered power in 1861, leaving the gov? ernment iutact in its original form. Whatever 1 changes have occurred have been wrought since tbeo, and by the party DOW in power." "How long do yon think that party will re? tain power?" 1 asked. "I think," be replied, "their days are nam bered. The sic ns cf desolation are everywhere apparent in their ranks. The work or disin? tegration ie gomgon. If the Dem .-.eratic party w?D be wise now, it can certainly Boon regain the ascendancy." "What coarse do yon suers;eat as advisable for the Democrats to purgue?" I asked.. THE WTNSTNG DEMOCalTlO FLATFORM. "Well." he replied, "suggestions on that point might more appropriately come from older soldiers ban myself. Bot my own idea is that, if the Democrats will adapt their plat? form to the lire issues of the day. accept ne* grosu?Yage and the other inevitable resolte of the late war, drop their old Bourbon leaders, and take up new mer? not tied te the dead past and its obsolete ideas, the path to victory is sow open to them." oovsawoa HOFFMAN xo xaux> TKB DSMOORAOT. "Whom WOOldyon Suggest aa % standard bearer in such n campaign 7 ' I a?ked. ..John T. Hoffman, ot Kew York," be replied promptly. , . Mr. Hoffman has made a good mark as Governor of New York," said L . "Host admirable," replied Mr. Ad tm?. "He has exceeded the anticipations ot bis warmest friends, and ia to-day the strongest, if not the' most able, man in the country." . , , ' "I see." said L "that Tammany Hall has again nominated hun." ..Yea,'' replied Hr. Adams; "he bat the pow? er ot that singularly powertnl organisation at his back, with the prestige of success as Chief Magistrate of the Empire State, two po in is that almost insure his selection by the party and a successful result. Mew York can dictate the candidate in 1872; and with such a candi? date as Mr. Hoffman, the Democrats are sure of sucosas." CHASE onces AND ADAMS TOO SO TOG. "Will not Mi. Chase ba a candidate for the Democratic nomination ?" fksked. "Mr. Chase undoubtedly would like the nom? ination," he replied, "but ibe Booth will never consent to his having, it. He is odious to the Southern Democracy, and can never secure their support. This I ascertained to my per? fect satisfaction last year when I was in the South." "I have heard your own name mentioned in this connection," I remarked. "That is all nonsense," ho replied. "I am too young in the party to expect such a prefer? ence at this tfme, and, moreover, Massachu? setts bas no right, to present.a candidate. When we have redeemed Ibis Stoje. as the Em? pire State his boen redeemed, ind can name so distinguished and abie a manas New York . names m Mr. hoffman, we may with some: show of propriety talk of presenting a candi date. At present wo must confine ourselves to' the work of overthrowing Badieansm in our ' own herders." - ; THE FAREWELL SHAW. ' "My dear sir," said I rising, "I have to thank you for ibis.interview and Xor the infor? mation you have given me. I leave ' you pro- ' foaudly impressed with the ides that Massa chas et ts will be honored in yon as h r Chief Magistrate, as the General Government will ultimately be m calling you tts head and brigbtes ornament." He bowel, shook mo warmly by the hand, and bade me call again whenever I could find opportunity, for which mark of condescension [ expressed many thanks and bads-him farewell. . _ _ T. M C. THE COTTON BWPFLT. Review by tate Loatdoa Times. The London Times, of the 14th instant, haa as editorial on the ssbject of the cotton supply, which was transmitted by cable on Stlarday, wherein it says : A curious aspect has just been given to the question of the colton supply. Just as the as? sociation fjr promoting this object is holding its usual meeting, a merchant writes us that Manchester alone is responsible for the scarci? ty it suffers. With all its wealth, enterprise and confidence, jt, haa never IBTAB?PH a nann? [ in tue cotton field. The conclusion or the oui side world obviously is, that those who know moat about cotton-planting can . never pay. Their caution acts in others, and cotton cul? ture is discouraged. If the Manchester spin? ners gould establish a cotton company, with a large capital emoloyed in tho heart of India, things would be different; but they stand aloof and refuse to risk their mooey in adventure, and when cotton comes to them they drive it down to a losing point. The association urge the establishment of large cotton fields in Ethiopia, but the recom? mendation, though interesting to growers, has little effect to cause more cotton to be grown. Cobden and his friends maintained it was not the duty of the manufacturer tooincern himself m'h tho South, but merely to offer a sure and steady market lor the produce. If India undersold America by a farthing in the pound OD equal quality, she would command the Lancashire market. The true policy of the manufacturer was to keep the market open and give preference to tho beet cottons. Bow these doctrines ended we need not say, but tho singular complaint of our correspon? dent lends illustration to argument. Be re? sents the practico ol the manufacturer in driving down tho prie;, lt is not natural for tho buyer to cheapen the article. Does not the remark strengthen the argument that the same people ought not to be buyors and sel? lers? His figures state tait the average Indian colton, formerly bringing four pence per pound, DOW brings ten penco, md it maybe nany years before it is lower tban seven peuce. If this moans that s.-ven pouce would remuner? ate and satisfy Lancashire, the mighty ques? tion may bo near i's solution, Uemembeiiog that the cardinal question il price, and that cotton stuffs can bs sold to the markers of the world, sud ?.nat the money to recompenso the grower aud spinner conies from tbo pockets ot the weaver, it is useless to grow and spm if it cannot bo sold in quantity and at price to remunerate nil concerned. Up to tbe tima or tho Araerioan war these conditions were fulfilled. The South produc oi and Lane is li ire manufactured so cheaply that the article command-d the markets ot the world. The price of India cotton is now two and-a-hslf times greater thvi formerly, which is enough to demolish tho whole trade. No wonder that looms are idle. Cheap goods and dear cotton arc incompatible. Until cheap goods are produced trade cannot revive. If the average of seven pence pays the grower, there is no reason wby industry should Dot re? vive. A protective tariff will not always pre? vails. IC the prices spoken of will satisfy consum? ers and remunerate producers, there is nothing to prevent the speedy revival of production and consumption. But between the spinier and the grower must necessarily exist ordinary commercial antagonism. Col ton is now at ton pence instead or four pence, because Ameri? can competition is reduced. Tho price can only be abated by a return to largo and more regular supplies. If India be our feeder it can only bo on terms of free and open trade. Cot ton-growora must bo prepared for a revi val ot Am rican industry and tbo compel it ion ot the whole world. In such a race India would havo great advantages, wh'cli, if measured by tho judicious action of the government, it is pro? bable that Indian agriculture aud British in? dustry mic ht be established on broad and per? manent prosperity. THE DEATH OF MARSHAL SEIL, OF FRANCE. A cable dispatch fr..m Paris announces the de? cease ot Marshal Adolphe Sett, of France, one or the prominent military men and statesmen of the empire. His name reveals his origin. Not an Irishman himself, he is nevertheless an Irishman by near descent. Ilia is the latest instance of the peculiar aptitude of the Irish for military alf ara. Marshal Neil was born in Muret, in 1802. He entered the Polytechnic School of Paris in 1821, and the Military Aca? demy of Metz in 1823, and commenced his mil? itary Career in 1825 os a second lieutenant of engineers. In 1826-7 ho distinguished himself in the expedition against Constanline, in Al? geria, and was promoted, October 25,1837, to command the corps of engineers in that pr >v ince. On his return to France he gained dis? tinction as a military engineer, and was ap? pointed colonel rn 1810. In 1849 bo accompa? nied General Valiant in au expedition to Borne. He became ir eu eral of division in 1853; com? manded, in 1854, the siege operations asainat Bomaraon. and in 1855 was appointed adjutant of Napoleon Ul, and was employed io the siege or Sebastopol. In 1357 be became a member of the French Senate; in 1860 ho took a promi? nent port in the italian campaign, and decid ed, by the skilful operation of the artillery under hi8 command, the victory of Solferino, aftor which he ivas made a Marshal ot France. The Emperor Napoleon III was much attached to this veteran supporter of bis throne, FOBBIQN ITEMS. -The Bosnian Baitroad Gazette says Russia has already paid upward of two bun dred million roubles to American railroad coo tractors. -A new feature in domestic economy is an nouneed.

By this undertaking Holland will add on) more to her grand en gr neariog works,- bat it appears to be an English firm who bold tbe contract. -The Icelanders have, a curious custom, and a most effectual one, of preventing horses 'from straying. Two gentlemen, for instance, are riding together without attendants, and, wishing to alight for the purpose of visiting some objects at a distance from the road, tbey tie the tail of one horse to tbe head of the other, and the head of this to the tail ot the former. In this state it is utterly impossible that they can move either backward or for? ward, one pulling one wsy and the other the reverse, and, therefore, if disposed to move at all, it will bo only in a circle, and even then there must be an agreement te nave their heads in the same direction. -An experiment has recently bee a made at Munich to ascertain if a wheel of a railway car rolls regularly without sliding, so that by re? cording the number of revolutions and know? ing the diameter, the exact distance accom? plished can be accurately measured. Although the experiment was tried on a short distance, yet the distance between the measurement of mathematical instrumenta and that obtained by recording the revolutions of the whole, waa found to be DO more than 1.6800 of the whole, luis ?P0UB TDtrtoate too? inore ware Boswitneiy co sliding of the wheels. It is proposed to employ this method io the determination of degrees of longitude, by the side of astronomi? cal observations and measurements with the telegraph. -A new fertilizer is to be brought into no? tice. A Frenob agriculturist proposes tb at the vessels oceupie 1 during the summer ia cod fishing, should in other serons bo em? ployed in collecting sad transporting to the azores the seaweed which is to be found in large quantities west of those islands. This seaweed, it is asserted, covers in dense masses a space seven times larger thao all Ger ?my. Analysis has discovered that these weeds pos? sess the same fertilizing qualities as the weeds employed tor manare ou the coasts of France. The vessels, it is proposed, shall convey these marine plants to the Azores, where they could be pressed and dried, and the potash and other taits extracted. These floating meadows, it is estimated, will produce every year sufficient matter to manure over 1.350 000,000 acres. -Aman in the dress of a working mau was lately seen walking in the streets of Berlin with a packet in his hand, sealed and inscribed with an address, and a note that it contained oue hundred thalois in treasury bills. As the bearer appoared to be at a loss, he was accost? ed by a passenger, who asked him what he was looking for. The simple countryman placed the packet in the inquirer's hands and request that he would read the address. The reply was made aB with au agreeable surprise, "Why, this letter is for mel I have boen expecting it for a long while 1" Upon th is the measonger demanded teu thalers for the carriage of the packet, which was readily paid, with a liberal addition lo the porter. The new possessor of tha packet hastened to an obscure corner to examine his prize; but on breaking the seal found nothing bul a few sheets of paper, on which waa written-"Done 1" -Some yeats ago a photograph of a bronze statue was taken at Berlin. Besides the im? age it showed a few small, faint streaks of light, one of which shot upward from tho point of a spear hold in tho bani of tho statue. What produced th?m was a question wbich at length was solved by a member of the Prussian Aca? demy of Sciences. He suggested that the figure was in au electric condition while the photograph was takon; hat streams of elec? tric light was passing off at various points, and that those, though invisible to thc eye, were detected by '.he photograph. Hence there was a talk about invisible light. This has recent? ly been verified. By sending an dec'ric cur? rent through a Geis aler's tube (a glass tube almost completely exhausted of aja^ an interi? or light is prov, need, which cannot be seen by daylight, but which is distinctly shown in a 'photosrapli of thc tube. It has often been re? marked that photography detects particulars which escapo observation, and hero is another proof of it. -It seems that sometimes young ladies are sold into matrimony outside of "?lay Fair," and that a lowly station is not always the equivalent of unadulterated affection. Visi? tors to London, says the News, have been rather astonished by our Baby Shoiv; but what shall we say to au annual fair for marriago ble young girls? Such a show took place on the 11th and 12th of this month, and is of immemorial custom among the Rou? manians. As the timo for the fair ap? proaches, tho fathers whose children are marriageable collect what they can af? ford as a dowry. Whatever this con? sists of, it is packed, if possible, into a cart or carriage, and on the appointed day all-fathers, children and chattels-start for some trysting place, generally chosen among the western mountains of Transylvania. When the fair ie opened, the fathers climb to the top of their carriages and shoat with the ?hole power of their longs, "I hav? a daugh? ter to marry. Who wants a wife?" The call is answered by some other parent^who has a son he ia anxious to pair off. The two parents compare notes, and if the marriage portion is satisfactory, the treaty is then and there con? cluded. The yoong mah takes possession of has wifo with all her goods and chattels, and drives off merrily. IT, on the other hand, the match is not eon al, or for some other reason unsatisfactory, then the parents begin to cry their live merchandise once more. THE CHINESE IN THE CAROLINAS. An Echo from the Old fl ort*. State. The Wilmington Journal of yesterday says: Tu CHABLIS TON DAILY NEWS informs ns that the planters along the South Carolina low country bare already made heavy coo tracts for Chinese laborers, and that large numbers will arrive there during the early part Of the new year. There is something about the people of our little Bister State that always calls for admira? tion. Let them be ever so mum cast down and trampled upon, they are yet sure to rise up from the slough of despond, bn (teten ed and refreshed, and with an energy to work out anew their fortunes, that we seldom see equalled and never surpassed. Our own state must soon follow the lead of ber sister, and wo doubt not that long before the year 1870 will have rolled its course, the Chinaman laborer will have obtained a strong foothold in every Southern State. _fiMil lotices.

TION.-What ls tbe most important of all earthly blessings, In the estimation of every intelligent bu?' ' man being ? Clearly, it is Health; for soundness of body and mind is essential to tho enjoyment of all the other good gifts of Providence. How, then, shall those who possess this Inestima? ble treasure endeavor to preserve it, and how shall those who have lost it seek to retrieve it ? These questions bave been asked in aU age?, bat never have they been as satisfactorily responded to as at tbe present day, and thc answers which com? mon sense, enlightened by se'ence and experience, give to them la the Nineteenth Century may ba briefly stated thu*: To protect Ihe system against all influence* tba* tend to generate disease, there is nothing like invig? oration. To re-establish the heals* on a firm basis, when lt has been lost by imprudence or any other cause, the syst?ra must b* simultaneously strengthened, regu? lated and purified. ? i hese ends can only ba attained throagh the ages ey of a preparation which combines the attributes of a tonic, a corrective, a blood d?purent, and an ape? rient. . AB these essentials are effectually blended in HOS* TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. They contain nothing drastic, irritating oi inflammatory. The j niece and extracts of sanative herba, roots sad barks, are their sols medicinal ingredients, end these are rendered diffusible by combination with the spiri? tuous essence of rye. the purest of all alcoholio attn* niants.
