be readily found for a new aggression. It is to be hoped, however, that under BARON DE REUTER Persia may have her resources developed so that she may form a barrier against the hordes of Russia in their progress south towards the rich and fertile clime of India, upon which, distant as it is, Russia is supposed to aim as her ultimate goal.

SPAIN is in a most unhappy condition. Taking advantage of the abdication of Amadeus, the Carlists have attempted to secure the sovereignty by force of arms. They seem to have had quite a series of successes, capturing what are called "armies." The latest telegrams indicate that the insurrection is making great progress. The Municipal authorities of Barcelona are said to be pressing into the service all men between twenty and forty years of age, and the news comes that the crews of five men-of-war have revolted, whom the government treat as pirates, while the Cortes denounce the government for such a proclamation. With war in Cuba, and intestine war, Spain seems rapidly going to ruin, unless she meets with some strong saviour. Should the insurgents gain rights as belligerents they may be ultimately successful.

THE return of Sir Samuel Baker from, and his discoveries in, Central Africa we hail with pleasure. He has had a difficult time with the savage hordes through whose territories he journeyed. The traders in slaves and ivory were by no means prejudiced in his favour, as they had an idea that his presence would injure their trade, and spoil their profits, no doubt a correct surmise. Between the traders and the Negro chiefs a plot was made to murder Baker by poison, which almost did its work, yet failed, when his ambassadors were killed, and war was levied on his small force by a mighty army before which he retreated, till coming to the border land of a friendly chief, he was enabled to turn the retreat into a pursuit. There appears to have been a much more deadly war between Baker and the slave traders and chiefs, than that between Russia and Khiva. Thirty of Baker's soldiers were slain by being fired on from the houses at Lazarita; but in return, the slave party being attacked lost one hundred and fifty, many prisoners being made, and the remainder being entirely dispersed. Baker then set himself to organize the districts in his possession, and the people seem to have settled down under his authority. Safety and quiet reigned everywhere. On his leaving he was cheered as "father" and "master" by the Negroes of Fatiko. A chain of stations has been formed, a route marked out, and "a thousand additional troops were sent to garrison these stations." No wonder they call this wonderful man PASHA. Then there is the wonderful discovery that lake Tanganika and Albert-Nyanza are the same lake—a magnificent inland sea, of not less than seven hundred miles in length -the largest inland lake in the world.

FOR DISEASES OF THE THROAT AND LUNGS, SUCH AS COUGHS, COLDS, WHOOPING COUGH, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA, AND CONSUMPTION.

MONG the great discoveries of modern science, few are of more real value to mankind than this effectual remedy for all diseases of the THROAT and LUNGS. A vast trial of its virtues, throughout this and other countries, has shown that it does surely and effectually control them. The testimony of our best citizens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CHERRY PECTORAL will and does relieve and cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; and cases of CONSUMPTION, cured by this preparation, are publicly known, so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy it is adequate, on which the public may rely for full protection. By curing COUGHS, the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and convinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as a protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections, which are easily met at first, but which become incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender lungs need this defence: and it is unwise to be without it. As a safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PECTORAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multitudes are rescued from premature graves and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds, securing sound and healthrestoring sleep. No one will suffer troublesome INFLUENZA and painful BRONCHITIS, when they know how easily they can be cured.

Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, no cost or toil is spared in making every bottle in the utmost possible perfection. It may be confidently relied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever exhibited, and capable of producing cures as memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
