. —— — Climate not the Cause of Color —lt is a common opinion that climate alone is capable of producing all the diversities of complexion so remarkable in the buman race. A very few facts may suffice to show that such cannot be the Thus the negroes of Van Dieare among the blackL ease. man’s Land, who amo > bl 2st people on earth, live in a climate as ‘das that of Iceland, while the Indoese nations who live in tropical ia, are of a brown and clive complexIt is remaked by Humboldt that .e American tribes of the equinoctial sions have no darker skins than the menntaineers of the temperate zone. So also, the Puelches of the Magellanic Plains, beyond the fifty-fifth degree of itude, are absolutely darker nodes, Lobas, and other tribes degrees nearer the equai 1 Cherrus, who live south io de la Platte. are almost south the fairest of the An.erican v Finally, not to multiply exampies, those nations of the Caucasian rnee which have become inhabitants of ef the torrid zone in both hemispheres, although their descendants have been for centuries, and in Africa for many zenturies, exposed to the most active sof the climate, have never, ry instance, exhibited the ion from a Caucasian to a 33 influences in & soalit i > @ coTmpicxt { Hard Wit at the Doctors —In the 4h a <teenth chapter of the second book ronicles is the following: d Asa, in the thirty-ninth year of lis reien, was discased in his feet, until is disease was exceeding great; yet In his disease he sought not the Lord, ‘but the physicians.’ And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.”—Lynn News, A harder hit at the medical fraternity s given in Mark’s gospel, (ch. 5, v. 26,) ‘lating toa certain woman who “had ifered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather srew worse!” Power of Females —Aristotle may sov that of all animals the males are stron@er and wiser than the females, but St Paul writes that weak things have been chosen to confound the strong. \dam was sublimely endowed, but wovan humbled him; “Samson was strong, ‘uf woman made him captive; Lot was haste, but woman seduced hin ; David was religious, but woman disturbed his iety; Solomon was wise, but woman teceived him; Job was patient, and was sbbed by the devil of fortune and famry; uleerated, grieved and oppressed— nothing provoked him to anger till woman did it. [> A souple of Yankee girls put a bullfroe in the hired man’s bed, to see if they could not get him to talk. Daniel threw the frog out of the window, and never said a word. Soon after, he pat a half bushel chestnut kurs in the citl’s bed, and about the time he thought they would make the least shadow, Danfuriously. Ont went the candle, and in went the girls; but they didn’t stick, though the burs did. Calling to them, he begged them to be quiet, for he only wanted to know if they had “seen anything of that pesky bullfrog. He'd gin tew dollars to find it. Getting well of the Epidemic—This, we are glad to be able to report, is about the conditiod of Honolula. A good deal of couch and cold still hangs on, and leontinue to do so with those who don’t take the best care of themselves, involving a heavy run on pocket handkerchiefs. Rhenmatism, too, 1s very prevatent; i altogether, we term the present em} tically a sickly summer. In any other country under the sun we doubt if the like was ever known, of a whole community prostrated with sickness of the nature of this epidemic, attacking as it did the lungs, and accompanied with a wasting fever, yet. with no inerease in the bills of mortality — T’o our incomparable climate is due the praise.— Polynesian.

BULLS PECTORAL BALSAM. The Great Cough Remedy has been tested by thousands AND IN NO INSTANCE HASIT PAILED. have a COUGH, COLD. BRONCHITIS. CONSUMPTION, TIGHTNESS Ol THE CHEST. WHOOPING COUGH, DISEASED CHEST or LUNGS. Dr. JOHN P. BULL'S: PECTORAL BALSAM Is a Safe, Speedy Certain & Permanent Cure. The PrcTORAL BALSAM possesses great advantage over allother Cough Medicines inmany respects. In the first place, it Cures the Cough without producing Sickness As allother Cough remedies do. In the second place, it always Curkks the DISEASEina FEW Days, never fails andi PLEASANT TO TAKE—is purely vegetable and uniform in its action, and no unpleasant consequence will follow its use. Another reason why it should be preferred, itis prepared from the receipt of an old and experienced practitioner who has devoted Thirty Years to the study and investigotion of diseases of the Lungs and Chest. Most patients will not take the ordinary cough remedies from the fact that they are unpleasant to take, uncertain in their action and always producing sickness at the Stomach. Tbe PECTORAL BALSAM is pleasant totake,is certain to cure the dis >, will not sicken the Stomach, but will relieve and curethe Co by allaying irritation, promoting expectoration and procuring QUIET and REFRESHING SLEEP. The most obstinate Bronchal and Pulmonary diseases are cured by the use of this remedy in from 6 to 10 days. Many eases of seemingly, hopeless Consumption have Deen permanen . by the continued use of th medicine. Never give up while there is a bottle to be had. Any numberof Testimonials have been received by the Proprictor h the request that they might be published but he ll confidence in the Balsam and believing that the ar » will recommend itself, I have not deemed it expedient to publish them, It only requires oneor two doses to satisfy any one that they have atlast found a remecy that cures COUGHS and COLDS and without sickening the Stomach, "= Fac similie of the proprictor’s signature on the outside wrapper.

The first property combines with and subsides in the form of floculent particles the whole of the erain oil, (Amylie Alcohol.) The Whiskey is thus deprived ot that pecniiar irritating and burning taste, and becomes a neutral spirit; the second property consists in an oily mucillaginous taste imparted to the liquor, which renders it mellow, : imparts an appearance of great age; the third pre y is exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor that is imp ato the liquer, which reuders distinction from the genuine brands impossible.
