In miasmatic dis tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back and loins, and coldness of the spine and extremities, are only premonitions of severer symptoms, which terminate in the ague paroxygm, succeeded by high lever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, arse nic and other poisonous minerals, form the lasis of most of the "Fever and Ague Preparations," " Specifics," ' Syrups, and "Tonics," in the market. The prepara tions made from these mineral jxrisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo, and other disorders more formidable than the disease they -were intended to cure. Avee's Aocb Ci-rk thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure tho most delicate pa tient; and its crowning excellence, abo-e its certaintv to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease as before tho attack.

Uobrrt On one occasion on the floor of tbe House, Joshua It. Giddings uf Ohio was assailed in the bitterest fashion by a member of tbe friends of slavery, and charged with stealing negroes and sending tin in away from the Distriot of Columbia, then, of course, within tbe slave dominion. After abiisu otVhi sort bad been heaped upon him for some days, he st last rose to a eronal explanation and i demanded the floor. At onoe from the Southern ruernlers there cams cries of "Don't hear him ! don't hear him ! V'u ohj -ct ! we ob ject I" A scene of almost riotous con fusion followed, and in tl nnist of it Hchenck, broad-shoulder"', square headed and power I u I, rose in bis seat snd osmmanded silence by tbe intensity of his'manner and the vehemnce with which he said "1 have uo personal iuteil iu Ihe matter, Mr. Speaker, nor knowledge of the matters alleged ; but when the honorable gentleman, rny oolhague,who has been so violently and gravely assail ed, desires to make a eraonsl ex plana tion, he should be eriuiti4d to do so. a ft a under such cu en instance, sir, no gentleman would object." Again, however, there came from diflerent parts' of the dkaSsbei ri-sof ' I object ! I object " and rgiu Schenck, with renewed emphasis said "I repeat, Mr. SiM-aker that under the circumstances no gentleman would object." As a result of Mr. H..-hen?k'a toursgc nl pertinacity Mr. Cliddinga was al lowed to make his explanatt n. When the scene was over there was mu.-h dis cusaion as to who Schenck referred to when he said that no gentleman would object, and Jacob Thompson ol Missis sippi, who was afterward Scietary of the Interior, communicated to him the impreasiou, which was bbSMMbJ in the House, that he meant Slid It of Louis iana "That is a mistake' nplild Mi. Sbeuck ; "1 did not even know that he was in tbe House." "Ars you willing to make that ex planation public r asked Tbomou. "Certainly," was the reply ; "I will do so witb pleasure." The next day on the floor Mr. Slidell, in accordance nh the aiiaiigeiuent, roe and ak-d I the gentleman from Ohio refeired.lo iuui wlitu he fclJ ttist UJ cent le in an would object tw Mr. ' tafia lion. "No, certainly not, air," tepiied S enck ; "I did notevun know that the t(tiillmu from Iouisiaua was ia the tiouae." Still Hltdcll questioned him, saiug : If tbe gentleman from Ohio knew that tbe member from lxiuisiana was iu the House would be have iude that remark t ' "That," rWied'Scheiick, "is a hvtio thetical question, and 1 will not tie queationed in that fashion." 8till tbe Southien member went ou to interrogate him, and at laat, eu'irely out of all alienoe, Hchenck took the floor, against tbe almost violent efl jrts which his friend, Governor Vance of Ohio, insde to restrain him. and said : "It is evident that what the member from LouUiana den ires to know is to whom I referred when I said yesterday that no gentleman would object t the explanation of my colleague. Lest there be any further doubt up m thin aubject, I will say here and new that I meant and leferred to the drunken member from Alabama, Felix G. M Connell." As may well bo imsgmud, this dec laration created the wildest excitement in the House. McConnell, one of the most violent of the Democrat and pro slaver men then in Washington, rushed a a a a a down i lie aiie snaking his mt at Scbeuck, and for a moment it was be lieved tbst a perform 1 encounter could not be avoided. With great difficulty order was at last restored, an the or diuury business of the Houaa for a time resumed. Just before adjourn ment, uowever, Uarret Uivis camp over where Mr. .Schenck wss guietiv seated, aud said : "llavuyOu a pihtol, Schenck 1" "No," lepiied the latter, "1 never carried oue iu my life."

"Still, I haven't got a piatflJ, sud tlou't know where to get one," replied Schenck. "Take mine, take mine," suid Davis f.s ...a a. s a uuietiv. at tite same time hanuine hii riund a pistol. For some days afmr this Mr. Schenck went armed. Three days later he met McOont ell as he was walking down tbe eastern steps of the Capitol.

What do New Hampshire people think of the following statement made by Gen. Neal Dow, while on a lectur ing tour in the west. At Chicago he made the unwarrantable statement that "absolute prohibition now exists in New Hampshire and Vermont as well as in Maine." The fact is that in any of tlm large towns and in ul tny of the smaller ones in Me., New HaBB shire and V ermont, it is as eisy to obtain liquor as it is in Massachusetts, where it is sold openly and regulated by a license law. The United States District Attorney in Portland Bill tell you that theie ate in that state 694 persons who have taken out licenses as retailers of intoxicating liquors, and 92 who have licenses tosdl as whole salers.

KOITBU BT THE Wiaei'i ChriitiiD TemptriBrr Liiti BRA4TB TBE BIMMCt 1 The late Cardinal Wiseman said, -Give me the children of Kngland, and in twenty years Kngland shall be Catholic." I say, '-Give us the children of England, and in twenty years Kngland shall not only be tem perate, but" and tbe words seem lo open a vista of progress and prosper ity such as we can hardly conceive " England s"ail not only be tem perate, but shall be a nation of total abstainers." Well, now I aide you, Is it really an injury to induce chil dren to take the pledge, or i it an in jury, with heartless prejudice and callous obstinacy, to leave them ex posed without defence to all tbe ter rible temptations and enormous evils of drink ? It seems to me that if we 'an succeed in saving them from that, we may laugh to K-crn the ri diculous notion that we do them any harm by inducing them to give up that which they do not need, which tbey naturally do not like, and which eaa be nothing to thens but a source of peril and ruin. Almoet every book oa takes up contains some damning evidence of the awful consequence of drink, and only yesterd ly I was reading a book by the authoress of --John Halifax, (Joatlemau," in which she describe her visits to the Kast Indon Hospi tal for children, and be tells how the nurse ..-aid that numbers of chil dren from the district, full of drink " B ar.d ignorance, are brought there with cancer, nin-uiea-e, and disease of the bone-, witb rickets and all kinds of constitutional corruption, so weakly from the constitution which they hive inherited from vicious parents that although they could only be m saved by surgery tbey are too weak to undergo an operation, and her re mark upon it is this: "For such children and in such places death it self eeems to be a better thing then life." Even more than that, we fir d poor little, hapless children, whom God meant to live and he happy, dy ing in' this Christian England, in this year, by something which bears a grotesque and horrible resemblance to unconscious suicide. At the very beginning of this year, amidst the very sound of the blessed Christian bell, amidst tho rejoitings with which' the new year was introduced by Christian people, one little child of three in Glasgow gets up in the night, takes the whisky -vhich its mother has been drinking, drinks, and is found lying dead in its bed in the morning; and that England may not be behind Scotland, another lit tle child of four at Huddersfleld rees that its mother has bought some syiilta to welcome friends, gets up in the7 same way, drinks the spirits, and is found dead in the morning. Now, let us ask whether there can be anything worse than all this ne glect ahd accident and ciuelty and disease and death ? Yes ; there is something worse than all this-there is tin. Diseass and accident and cruel ty and death may maim ami torture the body ; murder and suicide may end the life, but sin blasts and cor rupts the soul, and many and many a drunkard's child in Kngland is be ing trained up deliberately in the habits of sin Cation Farrar. STAXMXVTKKAt. One of the most foolish ettatotns in the world is standing treat for drinks; j other things are not ttotight in this way. Boys, if you want to be gen erous and treat each other, why not select some other place besides the liquor ihop ? Suppose, as yott go by the post office, you remarks: I say l my dear leuow, come in and take some stamps ?" These stamps will cost you no in ire than drinks all round. Or go to the hab:i dasher's and say: "Boys, come in and take a box of collars." Walk up to a groc er's free and generous, aod say : What kind of coffee will you have?' Why not treat to groceries by the pound as well as liquors by tbe glass? Or take your comrades lo a cutler's and say: I'll stand a good pocket knife all round." Suppose a man should keep a den of rattlesnakes, and allow men to come iu and be bitten for ten cents a bite, would it be a sensiblo thing for a man to invite all hh friends in to be bitten at his expense ? Is it worth while to turn our frieuds into brutes, maniacs, murderers, and their homes into hells of trouble and dis tress, by giving them "something to drink at my expense ?" The Union. Wg cannot see how the evil of the rum shops and drunkenness is to be checked, except by the streng arm of prohibition. All Christians should come forward, and In this conflict take side, either for temperance or intemperance jthere is no kuf-wa ground. Monitor Jounnal
