Theirs, in his hist(ory ofl the SConsulate, recites somne very strange - and previously unkntown partieuiars i-especting the early lif'e and peLnry of *Napoleon Bonaparte. It appears that -ifter he had oetaincd a subalternt's commission in the Ftrench service, by his skill and daring at Tloulotn, he lived smetime in Paris in obscure lodginags '-and in such extreame poverty that he vas oftet without the maeans of paty. itg ten sous (teni cetnts) for his dinnter, and often went withoaut any' at all. H-e was under the necessity of borrow ing small sumts, atnd even wortt-out elothes, from his acquainlanices. lie .and- his barother Louis, after wards Kig ot' H-ollanad, at one timei hat nal y a - coait between themt, so that :heb~ hri.h ers could only go out alteirnately, timei about.

He cited the ran at the court of justice, and deo nanded dai:ages. A celebrated advo cate undertook the del'ence o' the la borer; but he found it impossible tc prove that his client had really warned the passengers to take care, ho had recourse to an expedient to gain hi: object. When the case therefore cane tc be tried, an the def'endant was asked why he had thrown down the stone; so heedlessly, he stood mute and mo tioaless. The jidge repeted his qucs tioti, but he rnaintained an obstiniat silence ; and when the judge expressed his surprise at it, the advocate sai that his client was, unfortunately, deal and dumb. "No, no," exclaimed the plaintill of' his guard, "it is false, it is an eva. sion ; I raivelf heard hin very plainly say, 'Take care !" And why, (hen, did you not fol. low his warnings ?" said the judge siniling, as he dismnissed the case. HAYNSWORTH & GREEN wM'I. IIAY Nswo 1 . JOHIN T. (CiEEN. ATT'1ORLNEYS AT LAW. SU.'1ITR iVILE, S.

Dear Sir :-I send -on this to- certify to you that your Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsa parilla hats performed one of the most wonderful cures on m that has ever been efTected on man. - I have been afflicted for forty years with eruptions on n.y legs and feet; in 1848 they got so bad that I had togo on crutches, and in I89 1 had one leg amputated abovo 'the knee. In about nine months after imly other leg brokp ots in large eating and running sores frcm mknes. to ily foot, and discharged a great deal of ofen sive matter. My groin broke out in larg bites which discharged touch offensive matter, an at the same time my left hand broke out in large running sores nearly to my elbow. The misery that 1 have sufLered for the last two years 1 cannot describe to you. I was in such agony that I never rested day or night. In October last tity son brought me one of your bottle wrappers, I read it, and found re cord of some wonderful cures performed by. your " Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsapa rilla," I sent and got two bottles of it, and commenced taking it. In two weeks, to my great astomishment, my sores all becanie easy, and I could sleep all night, a thing I had not done for two years. Whmen I had taken si bottles, my sores had nearly all healed. My sores got well as if by enchantment. I have now used in all eignt bottles of your " Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla," and I now consider myself well. I entreat all of the afflicted to try this medi cine, forI believe it will cure any known din ease in the world.-Lay aside all prejudice and just try it, and proclaim its great worth to sufferitg mankind and entreat them to take it, for it will cure them. ly case is well known in a large portion of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and if any should doubt the above cure, I invite them to call on te, and I will show them the scars. I can be found in Tallap'oosa Co., Alabama, one mile from Store's Ferry. Renajati Hughes. The Yellow Duck and Sarsaparilla is pecu liarly adapted for females of delicate health, resulting from irregularity of menstrual dis charges, and other diseases peculiar to their sex.--The proprietor has in his pOssession a great number of certificates of cures, perfonned of the above description. We assure the afflict ed, that a bottle or two of Dr. Guysott's Ex tract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla will at once regulate those difliculties and renew the natural energies.
