and are infinitely superior to any Pi it before Hie
public The operate without irritation on all the
excretions, purging tbe blood by the bowels, liver,
kidneys, aud skin.
MARSHALL'S UTERINE CATH-
OLI0ON.
An infallible rem-dy for all diseases of the
womb and urinery organs, weakness in the back,
pain itt lhe bream, nervousness, debility, etc. In
Califoru n and Oregon, out of more than a thousand cases where tbis medicine has been used, it.
has in oo single instance failed to give permanent
relief or to effect a certain cure.
THE  GRAEFENBERG  SARSAPARILLA.
A powerful extract. One bottle equal to ten

which children are subject. Its true worth cai
never be set forth in words, but it can be felt am'
appreciated by parents whose children have bee;
saved.   No mother should be without it.
GRAEFENBERG PILE REMEDY
Warranted a certain cure for this painful dis
ease. With the Ointments tbor" are very lew
cases which cannot be radically aud permanently
cured. A surgical operation lor Piles and Fistub
should never be resorted to until this Oiutmeu
has been thoroughly tred.    It never fails.
GRAEFENBERG EYE LOTIOS.
For diseases of the eye this Lotion has no equal
It is a positive cure for inflammation of the eves

The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those whimsy be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted,
where a permanent relief of their sufferings may be
obtained, feels it his duty to thus puhlielv express
Ins sincere gratitude to Dr. I.. J, Cs-apkay. for tlie
permanent, recovery of bis health. Borne 'down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the viciom
practice of unisotitrolla ble passion in vontb, dej*resseil in
body and mind, unable to perform even the most trifling
duty imposed upon the daily avorations of life, 1 sought
ibe advice of many physicians, who at lirst retarded my
disease as of trifling importance—but alas : after ;, f->r
weeks, and in several Instances months, of their tie-t-
meiit, I found to toy unutterable horror that, instead of
relief, tbe symptoms became more alarming in their torture ; and, being twit* by one that toy disease, being con.
lined principally to the brain, medicine would be of little
consequence, I despaired nf ever regaining nsy health.
strength antl energy ; and, as a last resort, and with but
a faint hope, called upon Dr. Ozsipkay, who. after exHm.
ining my case, prescribed some meslicine which almost
instantly relieved me ofthe dull pain and dizziness iafay
head. Encouraged by this result, I resolved to place my-
.self immediately under his cave, and by a strict obeslience
to his directions and advice, my beau became clear, my
ideas collected, the constant pain in my back and groins,
tlie weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction nfmy
whole b.ody on the slightest alarm nr excitement, the
mlianthropy and evil forebodings, the sclfdistrtist aid
want of confidence in other., lhe incapability to study,
and want oi resolution, the frightful, exciting, and at

tary discharges, have all disappeared ; and in fact, intw.
mouths after having consulted the Doctor. I felt a* if inspired with a new life—that life which, but a short time
ago. I contemplated to end by my own hand.
With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling into
tbe snares of Incompetent quacks, I deem it my duty to
offer this testimony to the merit and skill of Dr.Czupkar,

CARD.
I, the undersigned, having been under the treatment of
Dr. L. J. C-apkay, although unsolicited, feel called upon
to give publicity to the efficacy of his treatment, hoping
that by so doing, I may be instrumental in preventing
others from the fearful suffering and misery which I experienced, and which so often result from the perniciutm
practice of pretenders. My disease has been that of physical and mental debility, which follows in connequenceof
the indiscretion in youth. The agonies which 1 endured
are, perhaps, unnecessary for me to detail; tbey art-
known to those who have experienced them. Suffice it to
say, that baying called the services of Dr, L. J. Czapkay
Into requisition, all my expectations whicli I may have
formed .f him were more than roalis/rd. I would, there-
fore, recommend Dr. C.apkay to all who may find themselves afflicted with that dreadful malady, my object.in
doing so being sympathy for suffering humanity, and a
heart felt desire of relieving tbem.

How fondly each familiar word
Awoke an answering tone 1

Upon a foreign mart.

With rapture thrilled my heart!

With blessiQg aud with prayer,
Where man is brave and woman true
And free as mountain air.
Long may our flag in triumph wave,
Against the world combined,
And friends a welcome—-foes a grave,
Within our borders find.

Tlie  Little  Matcli  Girl—A   Cln_-_-
m.sss   Story.
It was so terribly cold ; it snowed, and the
evening began to be dark ; it waa also the last,
evening in the year, New Year's Eve. Ou this
sold, dark evening a poor little girl went into tbe
str.et with bare head and uaked feet. It is true
she hud sloes on when she went from home, but
ot'what use Wfre they? They were very large
shots, her mother had last worn thi-m, they were
too large, and the little one lost them iu hurrying
over the street as two carriages passed quickly
b;y. One shoe was not to be found, and the other,
a boy ran away witb, saying that he could use it
for a cradle when he had ehildreu himself, The
l.iitle girl uow went on her small naked feel,
wi'itch w#re red and blue with cold ; she carried a
number of matches in an old apron, and held one
bundle in h.r hand. No one had bought of her
the whole diiy, no one had given her a farthing
Poor thing I she was hungry and benumbed with
cold, •ind looked so downcast I The snow flakes
fell on her yellow hair, which curled so prettily
•round her neck, but she did not heed that.
The light shone out from all tbe windows, and
there was such a delicious smell of the roast bee*
in the street ; it was New Year's Eve, and she
thought of that!
She sat down in a corner between two houses ;
the one stood a Utile more forward in tbe street
than the other; and drew her legs up under her
to warm herself, but she was still cold, and sh
durst not go home ; she had not sold auy matches
or got a single farthing I Her father would beat
ber; and it was also cold at home, they had only
tbe roof directly over them, and there the wind
whistled in, although straw and rags were stuiled
in the largest crevices.
Her lilte hands were almost benumbed with
cold. Ah I a little match might do some good*
durst she only draw one out of the bundle, strike
it on the wall, and warm her fingers. She drew
out one match I how it burned 1 it was a warm
clear flame like that of a little candle, whec she
held ber hand round it - it was a strange light!
The little girl thought she sat by a large iron
stove with brass baltf on the top ; the fire burned
so nicely and warmed so well! Nay, what was
that? The little girl stretched out her feet to
warm them, too ; when the flame went out, the
stove vanished, and she sat with a burnt match in
her hand. Another was struck, it burned, it
shone ; and where the light lell on the wall it became ft- transparent as crape ; she looked directly into the room, where the rousted goose stuffed
with apples and prunes steamed so charmingly on
the lable, which was- laid out. and covered with a
shining whito cloth and fine porcelain service-
What was stilt more splendid, the goose sprung
off the dish and waddled along the floor with knife
and fork in Us back ; it came directly up to the
poor girl; then the match went out, aud ibere
w as ouly the thick cold wall to be seen.
She struck another im-tcli. Then she eat under
tb e most charming Chris-tmas tree ; it was stii-
larger and mo'r. ornamentai than that she. had
seen through the glass door at ihe rich merchant's.
the last Chris mas ; a thousand caudles burned on
the green branches; and inotly pictures, like
those whicb ornament the shop windows, looked
down at her. The little girl lifted up both her
bauds; then the match was extinguished, lhe
many Christinas candles rose higher and higher ;
she saw that they were bright siars ; one of them
fell and made a fiery stripe in the sky. 'Now
oue dies!" said the poor girl, for old grandmother,
who had alone been kind to her, but who was now
dead had told her that when a atar falls, a soul

During the night of January 21st, after several
days of severe fighting,. Coinonfort, with about a
dozen of his faithful friends, fled tho city ol
Mexico.
Ou the morning ofthe 21st, the conquering
forces entered the plaza in triumph, aud Gen Zu-
loaga and his forces took possession ot the  palace-
Ou the 22,1 a new Government was formed by
the election cf Geu. Zuloaga as president ad interim.
After the election a commission was appointed
to wait upon President Zuloaga aud dictate an
oath suitable to the wishes of his electors. The
oath pledges the President to support the plan
proclaimed in Tacubaya, Dec. 17lb, and reformed
iu Mexico, January 11th. The oath was taken by
the President. The election and installment of
the President have been duly solemnized and celebrated by a Te Deum, and by the customary
flourish of trumpets and roar of cannon.
The formation of a Cabinet, the second important step in Mexican government making, did not
prove an easy task. The ambition of those holding
the power seems to have been to select the very
bt'st men. whose social positions and wide-spread
reputation would at once give respectability to
tbeir government. The parties first hit upon
could uot be induced to accept the positions tendered them for various causes. The principal
cause has beeu the easy circumstances in which
most of our first men are found. They do not
wish to take upon themselves lhe responsabilities
and hard labors that must devolve upou a Cabinet
member at :his time.
Sr. D. Miguel ______ Azcarate has been op-
pointed Governor ofthe District. This gentleman
is popular, and has the reputation of being a most
efficient officer. Immediately on his acceptance
of office, Gen, Azcarate issued an order for those
who had arms or munitions of any kind in their
possession to surrender them within eight days to
the government of the District, on pain of fine
and punishment. The order is dated the 21st
inst.
The diplomatic corps has not yet recognized the
Zuloaga government. It is more than likely
that there will be a recognition of it in a few days.
There will no doubt be some discord of opinion
when the members of the diplomatic corps get
together to decide upon this important point.
