3H)t J3aUa' HJicanune. ATTRDAV MORNING, MAT 22, 1869. Oiir ADVERTISE. TheYnerchant or man of business who enters the vast arena of commercial en- terprise, and determines to etrtfggle for success without the aid of the press the great Archimedean lever builds his hope eafitle upon an. nnsnbstantial basis, and will inevitably "witness its demolition.

It would seem that the success of those who advertise, -nd the frequent failures of those who not, would be sufficient argument for any practical man of the wisdom of tha former. The files of the Picayune for thelaet thirty-three years will furnish abundant evidence of the fact that hose who advertised liberally and with 'judgment in its columns, never failed to reap the anticipated re- ward. To our merchants, then, we would say, be frugal if you will in your that in curtailing your advertisements in the Picayune yea are not actually diminishing your receipts. These remarks are alike applicable to those who have a city trade and those whose custom comes from the country, for the Picayune circulates in both city and country, and its acknowledged standing gives advertisements In its oramns additional weight. Picayune Job Office.

So flattering has been the public appreciation the character of work produced in the Picayune Job Office, and so liberal has been the patronage bestowed by a discriminating public, that we deem it only necessary to advert to the fact that our facilities are un equaled for doing any and all kinds of job printing from a delicate visiting card to a large poster. Theatre managers, traveling showmen, railroad agents, hotel keepers, steamboat agents, and all those who have job printing to do, wiH find it to their interest te send us their orders, which shall receive prompt attention. AMUSEMENTS. New Opera House. The "graed vocal and instrumental concert given last night for the benefit of Mr.Normau- din, Comptroller of the Theatre, was attended by but a meagre audience, and owing to the supposed indisposition of several of the artists, there was a considerable truncation of the programme.

The ridiculous "parody of the Favorite," as interpreted by Mr. Gilbert, might also have been omitted, without disadvantage. The performances consisted of a Neapolitan song, which was very cleverly rendered by Mr. Paulin, who, in the absence of other artists, obligingly sang alee a second air to his own accompaniment on the piano an aria from Charles VI, sang with power and taste by M'ine A. Bourgeois two delicious fantasies on the violin, executed with charming skill by Mr.

Carlo Patti a pleasing romance, "Voici 1' Hirer," sung in rich and sweet tones by the popular tenor, Mr. Picot "Couplets from Gala-thea," rendered with artistic skill and pleabing effect by M'me Cambier a beautiful romance of Mozart's, on the Queen of Night," sung with taste and fine melody by Mr. Engel and, finally, a burlesque parody on Robert the Devil," which Mr. Nardin rendered acceptable and highly amusing. On the night of -Sunday, 23d there will fee an extra performance, for the benefit of Mr.

Albert Julien and Mr. Fouranestreaux, the hautbois of the orchestra. The admirable instrumentation of the latter has always attracted attention, and the creditable performances of the former in various roles in grand and comic operas, operettas, dramas and vaudevilles, deserve encouragement. Adam's beautiful comic opera 'Le Chalet" wifl be given, with Mr. Fourmestreaux as Max, (he Sergeant; also, a new comedy in three acts, entitled the Childless House and a vaudeville called La Perle de la Canebiere." The programme is rich and attractive, and the beneficiaries are eminently worthy of sympathy and support.

A crowded house should greet them. Varieties Theatre. The Peak Fam-. ily Swiss Bell Ringers are giving delightful entertainments at this theatre. They are replete with fun and humor, and some of their delineations are very interesting.

Newness and novelty are displayed in all their performances nor does the attention of the audience flag from the beginning to the end. Go and them. Academy of Music No one can fail of being pleased with the Gregories. Everything they say and do is instinct with fun and amusement. It is very rare that we have an opportunity of witnessing so curious and novel a circus as M'lle Gertrude's her trained dogs and won- derful leap in the jii.

The song and dance of Sheridan and Mack are excellent, and Miss Bessie carries the audience away with her naive songs and pretty dancing, while Punch and Judy are a world of fun in themselves. There are few places where on evening can be so pleasantly spent as at the Academy. THE COURTS. Fourth District Court. Judge The-ard yesterday granted an injunction on the petition of Messrs.

Hudson Fearn attorneys for John Fleming, against X. Bouvier for infringement of trade mark in the article known as Bineaud's Lightning Hair Dye. Mr. Fleming, in an advertisement elsewhere, notifies dealers to govern their actions accordingly. fef- Large sale of household furniture, mirrors, chairs, this day, at 11 o'clock, at Old Auction Mart, 87 Camp street, by B.

Simon Wolf responds favorably to Douglass' application, concluding thus 1 am particularly happy in being the means of encouraging you, for as a descendant of a race equally maligned and prejudged I have a feeling of common cause, aud who can foresee but what the stone the builders reject tnav become the headstone of our political and social structure." Grant proclaims that the eigbt-honr law involves no reduction of daily compensation.

No one can think of denying that his EXCELSIOR IIAIU DYE brings out a finer BROWN or BLACK than any other, in a shorter time, and without injury to the hair. This is a truth as apparent aa that the sun lights the earth.

CRISTA DORO'B Hair Preservative and The toilet, without this article, lacks its most useful attribute. Nothing is so common in this country as the falling out of the hair. The Preservative prevents It. The fibres can no more loosen and drop off, if this article is regularly applied night and morning, than if each were fixed in a vice. The testimony on this point is overwhelming, while the beautifying and invigorating properties of the fluid are equally well established.

THE 4 LIVER, THE SPLEEN. IN TESTIXES, AND THE The Newfoundland Bitter is an unsurpassed stomachic tonic, and stimulating' preparation which is dally approved by enlarging "cans. Realizing aU that it purports to work, It produoes? results highly favorable to all persons who use It" regularly It Is a most pleasing cordial, whlchr wins the eye by its beautiful color and perfect limpidity, while Its exquisite savor and Its dell- cate and aromatic tincture of bitterness are truly delicious to the taste. Its composition admits none but scientifically selected substanoes of the verv first quality and its introduction to the) public has ministered a powerful auxiliary to hygiene, medicine, and general therapeutics. As an appetizer and a stomaohio atonoe, the Newfoundland Bitter exerts a really marked, wholesome, and lasting action on the stomach.

Used before each meal. It acts sharply on the appetite, it Intensifies the'seereUon of the gastrio Juices, so Intimately necessary to a sound anal perfect digestion whilst It attmuhMes, without weakening, the digestive powers, which are but too frequently, if not Injuriously, affected by other compounds, which breed more diseases -than their pretended efficacy can Tola Is saying much for our Bitter, yet It la scarcely saying so much as it truly deserves. Used after meals, as a precipitant. It increases the powers ot digestion, gives additional strength, to the process of assimilation of food received tn the stomach, and imparts to our entire organism a vital resistance so useful and necessary, espeel- ally In hot climates. The Newfoundland Bitter has proved to be A sovereign agent in curing loss of appetite, dyspepsia, gastralgia, slow, protracted, flatulent and painful digestions, for the very reason, that it exercises a special action on the stomach itself.

The relief which it affords In ehollos and cramps of the stomach, Is Instantaneous. Pituitous or mucous secretions cannot exist, where it has been fairly 1 Through these physiological properties, the satisfactory demonstration of which few. If any, will deny, the Newfoundland Bitter may safely be looked to for great and material ser vices to those whose stomachs are unfortunately weak or impaired, and who suffer from loss of appetite to ladies who labor under nervous affections, anemia, or chlorosis to children reoov- ering from sickness, or outstripping the course of the natural growth'; and, especially, to those persons, who have ruined, or are daily under mining their stomachs, by the immoderate use of alcoholic drinks. la one Word, the Newfound-land Bitter is the beet stomachic that may bo desired for home use while, in the saloons and bar-rooms it is Justly entitled to claim and aseers a preference. This statement is net put forth under thorn erely conscious gratification of the inventor and compounder but it is borne out also by the most flattering of testimonials that daily come In, bringing proofs of the eminently medicinal prop erties of the Newfoundland Bitter.

One in stance out of many, a lady, still In the bloom of life, assailed by the combined attacks of a stab born gastralgia an' affection of the stomach and an incipient consumption, hod lost all digestive powers. They had ceased to exert any influence on even the lightest food, while the'' pa tient was sinking under the daily westings of -vigor and flesh. Her husband disheartened by the failure of all other remedial arts to check this exhaustion of life, for a few days admlnls-tered to her the Newfoundland Bitter. The success of this medication was as beneficially rapid as it had been hardly expected. Toe appetite returned the dlgestiT functions.

were pes formed without pain or dlfittcnKy and strength, color and thriving health soon marked the radical change. Indeed it requires no peculiar knowledge of medicine to be satisfied that the physiological influence of tbe workings of the stomach, in its normal condition, gives activity, to nutrition, imparts regularity to the process which aaslmi-lates food and, lastly, gathers richness for the life blood. In so much as it Increases the number of its globules. In hot countries, the great battle -for organic life is that which is waged against the exhaustive action of their climate, against the paludal miasmata, which infuse their poison, into the blood, no less than against the fatal practice, indulged in by too many, of the Ingestion, at all hours of the day, of alcohol io drinks into the stomach a most disastrous practice, which, striking at all indulgers Indiscriminately, burns out the most vigorous of constitution, whilst it shatters the proudest of Intellects. 1 Now, deeply stimulating drinks, so comparatively wholesome and seemingly in dispensable in cold latitudes, In order to excite and keep up animal heat, are in hot, moist lands, notoriously fatal to health.

In the latter latitudes, on the contrary, tf we would protect that inestimable blessing, by every means, we must moderate the organic combustion and enrich the blood, which. In these climates, is ever being thinned by over abundant perspiration. The Newfoundland Bitter is, beyond all comparison and rivalry the bitter most congenial, and beet for hot countries. It is tonic, without excitement. It imparts a wholesome activity to general nutrition and purifies and enriches the blood.

1 f. i All persons, therefore, with thin and lmpov-. erished blood those who labor under chronio diseases the valetudinarian and the dwellers of realities where fevers crop out in destructive intensity travelers to those sections where great thirst is an inevitable companion, ought to be ever provided with the Newfoundland Bitter. No one that uses this generously diffusive tonlo but will proclaim its conquering superiority, and realize the truth of the aphorism ot Hippocrates 1 Sanguis, moderator nervorum- the blood is the controller of the nerves. Another recommendation of tbe Newfoundland Bitter is its efficacy in oorrecting a costive habit of the body for it stirs up the tonic virtues of the muscular coating of the intestines.

It mode-rates fluxes and diarrheas, through its tlmulatlng influences, and, by the spur-like action which it exercises on the organism, In solicitUig and in -citing the appetite, it imparts activity to the cir- culation of the liver and of the spleen, and rapidly removes the obstructions of those -organs, which are so common in hot latitudes and so baffling to the best forms of medication. We do not know that we can better sustain our assertion than by the adducing ot an Instance ot extraordinary cure. Mr. L. B.C, of the pariah ot Avoyelles, had been a martyr to a liver complaint, of nineteen years' standing, during which time he had failed to procure any substantial relief.

His liver was greatly enlarged, bis complexion and his eyes were tinged with a yellow hue, hie legs were swollen and his urine thick and of a mahogany color. AU appetite was gone, end the body reduced to complete attenuation. In this condition he used the Newfoundland Bitter for the space of thirty days. Since then his appetite has returned, the liver has been reduced to a healthy condition, the yellow hue of face and eyes has passed away, urination Is clear and natural, and the late sufferer revels In perfect health. We earnestly invite all.

the ailing and the hala, who duly value the Inestimable boon of good health the mens sana In corpora sano who would, in a sound body enjoy a sound mind to the dally use of this truly valuable means of repairing the failings of health or of retaining; Its blessings. Let those especially who suffer from a diseased liver, or from unregulated bow els, requiring a vigorous and efficacious tenia, 1 remember that the best stomachic and the most heroic tonic hitherto, discovered, are meet bene, -fi dally combined In the Newfoundland Bitter. OCB REPUTATION IS PLEDGED FOB ITS PURITY. The dose for an adult male is from half to three. fourths of a wlneglaasiul for ladies and childrea proportionately less.
