Ax i mpoetant DiscovEET. Per- kC3 Cuban Independence II .1, .,1 I Mr. Renne of Pittsfield, Mass. In experimenting. in cases of Rheumatism, lias discovered that a certain combination of Oils, with the juice of plants, form a medical compound, the use of which cures all Fains and In flammation as water quenches fire.

He now has in his possession a large number of certificates from people "right at home" in Pittsfield and other towns, showing the great value of his PAIN KILLING MAGIC OIL. And the more they use it, and become acquainted with its virtues, TH BETTER THEY LIKE IT." They will say, 'It Works Like a Charm." Ileum's Pain-Killing Magic Oil cures Headache TSING- TE ABlack Dragon Chop Natural Leaf perfectly pure Tsing signifies pure. Prepared withouh any coloring or foreign substance. Cured on Porcelain (not copper), over a slow fire. Delightful flavor, very powerful and strong.

s-Combines all the healthy virtues of the Tea-plant. Mandarins and higher class of natives use no other. This celebrated Tea was first introduced here by the Oeiknta Tea Company, in May, 1868, when the limitcl quantity imported was rapidlv sold, at the liirli price of $1 80 a pound. It mc't with such ur.qualified approval, and the demand for it from all sections so great, that the Company "at once made arrangements to procure a larger supply, upon more favorable terms, for the future and they have just received the first invoice for this year, which will be sold at the low price of SI 10 a pound, at which (but a little over half what it cost one year ago), which is the cheapest Tea known and the Company feel that cannot too highly recommend it to ail who drink Tea, as it possesses the flavor and strength, and tlib soothing, invigorating properties of both Black and Green, without injurious quality being chemically' pure and free from coloring matter or any foreign mixture, it will suit the taste and please all who love Tea, This tea is put up neatly" in pound parcels, 30 pounds in a chest, with the price, 1.10 printed on each The wholesale price by the chest is SI 00 a pound, and orders from Traders, Hotel Keepers, Peddlers, Clubs, or Families for chests of 3G pounds or more, will be filled at the whole. sonne, an eminent French taxicologist, has discovered an antidote for poisoning by phosphorus.

To five dogs he administered doses of phosphorus varying from one to three grammes to five others the same doses, followed in the course of an hour by ten grammes of essence of turpentine; and finally to more the same doses of poison, immediately succeeded by the antidote. The first five all died; of the second series all recovered but one while the five last appeared not to suffer the slightest inconvenience. Excitement and Shout Life. The following by an unknown writer, accords with our observations "Tlio deadliest foe to a man's longev ity is unnatural and unreasonable ex citement. Every man is born with a certain stock of vitality, cannot be increased, but which may be hus banded or expended rapidly, as he deems best.

Within certain limits he has his choice to live fast or slow, to live abstemiously or intensely, to draw his little amount of life over a large space or condense it into a narrow one: but but when his stock is exhausted, he has no more. He who lives abstemiously, who avoids all stimulants and takes light exercise, never overtasks himself, indulges in no exhausting passion, feeds his mind and heart on no exciting material, has no debilitating pleasures, lets nothing ruffle his temper, keeps his "accounts with God and man duly squared up," is sure, barring accidents, to spin out his life to the longest limit which it is possible to attain while he who lives intensely, who feeds on high seasoned food, whether material or mental, fa tigues his body or brain by hard labor, exposes himself to inflammatory diseases, seeks continual excitement, gives loose rein to his passion, frets at every trouble, and enjoys little repose, is burning the candle at both ends, and is sure to shorten his days. Eclipse. The United States Naval Observ- ator is making extensive preparations for the observation of the eclipse of August 7. The Navy Department, at the request of Commo dore Sands, has directed Rear Admiral Craven, commandant of the navy yard at San Francisco, to detail a vessel to convey Prof.

Asaph Hall, of the. Observatory, and an assist ant, Mr. Joseph A. of the Hydro- graphic office to the most convenient point neas Behring's Strait or Northern Sound, Alaska, for the purpose of observing the eclipse, and other Professors will be sent to convenient points. A Monster Drawing Scheme.

According to a Northwestern paper, Chicago is ready to go ahead of all creation in the canal way. A ship channel, one thousand feet broad and sixty feet deep, is to be constructed across the State of Illinois, to some point on the Miss issippi river, enough below the level of lake Michigan to admit of a steady flow of water into the Mississippi. The following results are to ensue The river St Lawrence will become but a brook. Niagara Falls will stand a damp wall of rock, if indeed the water does not flow back over them, forced by the tremendous suction. Chicago, Buffalo, Cleve land, Detroit and Milwaukee will be sixty feet above the present high water mark, and millions of acres of new land will appear in the shallow lakes.

New York would be nowhere. The largest vessels in the world would navigate the Mississippi, "and steam tugs of extriaordinary power" we quote the paper would bring sailing vessels from New Orleans to Chicago in four days." The work will cost only $84,000,000 and 'Chicago, with the help of Leavenworth, will raise this little amount in a few days, A clergyman of Wolcott has patented a globe made of. strong linen paper, in sections, which folds up so as to appear like folded sheet, of thick paper. By means of a steel spring it is sprung into shape, on the cover of a common atlas, so that, in all respects, it is a perfect artificial globe for common school use. The inventors have the machinery made to manufacture these globes as an attachment to the ordinary school atlas.

The Mormon Conference, which was held at Salt Lake City in April, was one' of the largest which has ever been lurid. The at tendance certainly increased during the three days which the Conference lasted, and at the closing session there were as many as eight thousand persons The reference made a few days ago to sermon preached by Brigham Young shows that Mormonism has abated nothing of its hostility to the United States Government and to our social institutions, for iu no public utterances of the Mormon Prophet which have been reported was he ever more abusive of the "Gentiles" and more defiant of the Government than upon this occasion. With unity of feeling among the Mormons, which means an entire submission to his purposes and directions, YouDg expressed his confidence that the Government, army1 and people of the United States could successfully be defied.

That he means to strengthen his position and increase the number of his followers is plainly evident from the fact that, at this forty-six missionaries were appointed to spread abroad the peculiar tenets of what is termed the "Mormon Gospel." Most of these missionaries are to go to England, for that, country has always been the best recruiting ground for Mormon preachers, but a few of them are to go to Denmark and other European countries, while one or two are commissioned for South America. The. "missions" of the Mormon preachers vary in length from two to five years, and as fast as converts are gathered in they are started off for Salt Lake The whole management of the missionary work, as well every other department of business connected with Mormon management, is under the direct control of Brigham Young, and the men whom he chooses to appoint to go to distant fields to labor for the enlargement of the numbers of the faithful have nothing to do but to obey. Many of these nien are already on their way to their fields of labor, and by the first of July every one of them will be at work for the glory of Mormon ism and its autocratic leader. The subject of confining all trade and business at Salt Lake to the Mormons themselves was a prominent topic of consideration at this Conference, and the importance of starving out and crushing out the Gentile trader was dwelt upon at length by ajlthe speakers.

This policy has been urged upon the Mormons for the last two years at every possible opportunity and if it were possible to do so, the Mormon leaders would gladly banish from their precincts every one who believes in christian civilization. Late advices from Salt Lake state that the vigilance of the Mormon elders has already accomplished much in the way of turning trade to exclusively Mormon channels, and that the purpose is to make the entire Mormon community self-sustaining as far as possible. The tendency of events, however, is against the success of this exclusive and despotic policy, for the isolation of the Mormon community will practically be broken up by the completion of the Pacific Railroad, and the Gentile population of Utah will receive large accessions from immigration, of men who will not bow the knee to the Baal of Mormonism. The immediate future of that portion of our country where the followers of this barbarous and revolting delusion have established themselves and proclaimed defiance to the Government and the civilization of a nation as powerful as ours, will be watched with intense interest, for new elements will now enter into the conflict of forces there the struggle between our Christian civilization and a system of gross sensuality which is a standing disgrace to our country and times. Wc have no doubt what the ultimate result of this conflict will be, but it is well to understand that Mormonism was never more active and defiant than it is to-day, and that every possible means will be used by the Mormon leaders to perpetuate their power and strengthen their community.

Even the bare hills 7 about San Francisco are carpeted to their summits with grass and flowering shrubs. The growth of wild oats, in regions little affected by pasturing, is reported to be very heavy, and promises a fine crop of hay from that source.

The demand for' agricultura land continues unabated. It is calculated that if a human being could make as much noise in proportion to Jus size as a locust, he could be heard from New York to St. Louis. It is very merciful provision The rumored expedition under Gen. Sted-manV about to leave New Orleans to the relief of the Cuban revolutionists and the ordering of a portion of the Gulf squadron off the port to prevent the egress of the steamer "Cuba" lends new zest to the vexed question which Cespceles and his compatriots seem deter mined to settle.

However the attitude of our government gives rise to grave doubts regarding the success of the expedition Gen.Stedman has just arrived from St. Jago de Cuba and is, it is reported, establishing recruiting stations along the Mississippi. The aspect of the Cuban question presents singular analogy to that of the American Colonies nearly a century ago. Both allege as chief ground for revolt, the injury of enormous taxation without adequate representation in the Spanish Cortes, although numerous minor on almost all monarchies, claim a share of attention. Morover the insurgents fight for the abolition of slavery, and this alone should sanctify their course in the eyes of those who favor freedom, and universal franchise, black or white.

Cuba has for years been the one coffer of Spain, from the plunder of which she has contrived to keep up a shade of her former splendor, under a court minion, dignified by the title of Captain General. The unfortunate Cubans have plundered and pillaged without stint, and such it appears is the general dis affection that Don Carlos Manuel Cespedes the leader of the revolt, starting with 150 found himself at the end of a fortnight at the head of 15,000 men. Still the government at Washington issues its manifestos proclaiming the "strictest neutrality" when by extending the right hand of aid to struggling patriotism, we might secure peaceful, fraternal annexaj tion. Certain it is, that the effort to estab lish a Republic upon the basis of universal freedom is as worthy of commendation and aid, as the effete and, in common parlanee, played out' aristocracy is worthy of censure by all friends of Liberty. b.

Plymouth, Vt. April 28, 1869. Decoration Day. The following is the order of Gen. John A.

Logan, Commander in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, relative to the annual ceremony of decorating the graves of union soldiers Washington, D. C. April 12, 1869. GENERAL ORDERS NO. 29.

1. The 30th day of May proximo a day set apart by the Grand Army, of the Republic to commemorate the glorious deeds of our departed comrades will be observed throughout the United States in such a manner as befits the solemnities of the occasion, and as will testify the undying love of a grateful people for the memory of those who died that the nation might live. This is the second public observance of the occassion, which is trusted will recur yearly while there remains a heart loyal to the cause in which our comrades fell, and while the moving principle of that struggle is worth preserving. If our organization had no other object, that of keeping green the resting-plaees of our nation's defenders, by this annual commemoration, would be motive enough to hold us together in a fraternal band. The Commander-in-Chief desires to thank those patriotic men and women who gave their aid and sympathy on a former occasion to make successful this national memorial day, and they are cordially invited to unite with the comrades of the Grand Army in the approaching ceremonies and he thanks the loyal press everywhere, through whose gener ous aid a lasting record has been made of the observances one year ago.

To the Congress of the United States, the comrades are especially indebted for authorizing the publication, in book form, of the proceedings of last May, and for the promise held out that each year a compilation will be made and published, as a national recognition of sympathy with these memorial observances. II. It has been determined not to prescribe any form of ceremony for universal observance, but each Post, or any number of Posts, niay arrange together such fitting services as circumstances will permit. Department Commanders will use tvery effort to perfect arrangements for the occasion. The news papers are requested to give publication to this order.

111. Department and Post Commanders are specially enjoined to preserve and forward to these headquarters a copy of the proceed ings (in printed from so far as possible) which tako place in carrying out this order. IV. As the 30th of May occurs on the Sab bath, Post8areat liberty to observe either that day or the aytn. Per order of John A.
