Courage without discretion iz a ram w ith horns on both ends—lie will liev more lites in hand than he ken well attend to. Hunting after happiness iz like hunting alter a lost sheep in the wilderness; when yu lind it the chances are that it iz a skel eton. A dog is the only animal kritter who luvs yu more than he luvs hinself. There iz no more real satisfaction in lay ing up in vitro buzzum an injury than there iz in stuffing a dead hornet, who liaz stung yu. and keeping hint tew look at. Old friends are like old cheese, the strongest. Lies arc like illegitimate children—they are liable tew call a man “Father” when he least expecks it. All money that iz well spent iz a good investment. If we could ail ov tts take kare ov our own souls, and let our nabors alone, tharc would he less lime lost, and more i souls saved. Contentment is the t ittles and drink ov the soul. lbd you ever hear a son bragging about hiz lather, wlioze father could with justiss brag about hi/, soil The safest kind ov faith I kno ov is hu manity. The man who never makes any mis take=. like- the angle-worm, never gits far j away from hiz hole. A brilliant blunder in a writer iz often one ov his best hits. Tyranny iz often changed, lmt never destroyed. Sucking a whipt sillybub, thru a rhy straw, iz a good deal like tricing tew liv on bnty. I never knu a profound pkool yet who did not affekt gravity, nor a truly wise man whose face was not aUvus rocked and primed for a laugh. i Prudery iz nothing more than coquetry 1 —gone to seed. Xew York city iz a fasst place—yu kant i even pass a phuneral procession unless yu hav got the fastest hoss. Truth liaz hardly clothing enuff tew I hide its nakedness, A pompous man iz like a full-blown 1 bladder; if iz pure malice tew prick him. The mouev and morality uv this world I are a good deal alike, the principle never j loses sight of the interest. Pitty costs nothing and aiut worth nothing. W hat men kant do they are apt to ad i mire—they don’t criticise a mountain, be kause they kant make one. Poverty iz one ov them kind ov misfor i tunes that we all of ns dread, but none ov j us nitty. I There iz lots ov people in this world who covet misfortunes, just for the luxury ov grunting. It iz comparatively easy tew repent ov 1 the sins that wc hav committed, but tew repent ov those which we intend tew to commit is asking tew mutch of enny man nowadays. I thank God for one thing, and that iz, when everybuddy else is happy, 1 am sure I to Ire. I Moot men go thru life as rivers go to 1 the sea, bi iollowin^ the lay uv the ground. In youth we run into difflkultys, in old 1 ago ditfikultys run into us. "Times ain't as they used tew be”— this haz been the solium and wize remark ov mankind ever since Adam was a boy. Secrets are poor property at the best; if you circulate them you lose the interest on the investment. Persecuted for the Devil’s sake, iz what sinners get for their allegiance. Sum people won’t beleave anything they kant prove the things i can’t prove are the very things i beleave the most. Pride never show's itsef more disgust ingly than in the pomp ov a phuneral. I Happiness iz not idleness, but its spirit iz as free from labor az the life of a yearl ing heifer. Good examples amung the rulers are the best laws they kan cnakr. The devil iz probably the best judge ov human nutur that ever lived, and he must hav beleaved in the doktrine ov total de pravity. or he wouldn't hav undertook tew tempt the Saviour. A “gentleman about town” iz one who pars cash for everything except his debts. Money iz like charity—it kivvers a mul titude of sins. A pedant iz one who fills himself in a cellar with the klam broth ov literature, and then picks his teeth in the society ov tin! learned. There iz but little if enny ceremony be- _ tween two wize men, but between a wize man and a phool ceremony iz the only thing that will make a phool feel respekta ble. When you find a man who iz very solis itus about the wellfair ov everyboddy, yu kan safely put him az one who iz huntiiig for a misfortune. UNFAILING EYE PRESERVES.

DEMOCRATIC HOIKS. The editor of the Griffin (Georgia) Star rejoices in the prospect of a war in Europe for three reasons, the first of which is, that breadstuffs will be in such demand that the South will lie com pelled to raise them. The second reason given is, that war “will knock greenbacks into a cocked hat, and will be a death blow to the bonded aristocracy, which now lords it over the country.” The third reason, and apparently the weightiest of all to the mind of the editor of the Star is given below in his exact words, italics and all “Then, again, there is another and a much greater hope looming up in the distance, und that is Southern independence! For be it known we (our individual self) have never yet given up this idea.' We Mill insist that the Xorth and South can not permanently and peaceably lire together in the same house hold' While this is true, it is equally true— having been demonstrated—that we can not, unaided, achieve our own independence. Should Europe, however, engage in universal war, European possessions in America must become involved; and through these compli-I cations the United Slates must inevitably be drawn into the contest. Then it will 1m* seen 1 and known that the South will join fortunes with any Europeau power that will guarantee u» freedom from the thraldom ot the North.”

John Lynch. Washington, D. C., July In, 1»7(J. The Washington Chronicle says the con stituents of Republican members of Con gress can truthfully say to their returning Representatives, after a long and arduous session, “Well done, good and faithful servant The Chieago Republican, speaking of their work in the second ses sion of the Forty-FirstCongres, says: “In the main, they have done well. After a most laborious session they present to the country as the evidence of their fitness an unimpaired public credit, augmented confi dence in the national securities, a currency rapidly approaching par value in gold, dimin ished taxation, reduced'debt, retrenchment of expenses in all departments of the Govern ment, a revenue adequate to all public wants, and peace to the nation, both at home and abroad. These are the fruits they bring to their constituencies, and upon which they can predicate a claim for continued support. With what mortification must the Democ racy witness such results? They have been prophets of evil, and behold, the evil is good. None of the things they predicted have hap pened. All their cry about extravagance and waste lias proved false, and a clean bain nee sheet shows it. The Administration of Pres ident (irant moves on quietly and successful ly. undisturbed by faction, and unmoved by clamor. It is no wonder that Democrats and soreheads are troubled at the prospect. The people are satisfied.” GENERAL NEKS. The large silver plating manufactory of the Meriden Britannia Company, which was partially destroyed by fire or. Saturday last, involved a loss estimated at 5-50,TOO, which is fully covered by insurance. I’rayers for time of war were recited in the French churches in New York Sunday.

Willis Phelps Co., of Springfield, Mass., are discussing the introduction of Asiatic la bor on the railroad they are building from Framingham to I.owell. The people along the line of the Athol and Enfield road, also under contract to Mr. Phelps, are said to be anxious for the Chinese, as a peaceable and industrious cotrast to other foreign elements. The tide of emigration front Australia to California, which we commented on several weeks ago, still continues, and the Pacific coast bids fair to welcome to its shores a ho mogcnious race, which will add to tne materi al, military, intellectual, and moral strength of the nation. The Jfrw Pension La* Passed a few days ngo, provides for qnar terly payments to become due on the fourth day of March, June, September and Decem ber. No pension can be paid to any person but the pensioner himself. All cheeks will be drawn in the name of the pensioner to whom payable, and cannot be delivered to any other person, and no power of attorney can be used. All fees and charges against pensioners for any service in collecting pension money arc abolished and prohibited. No pension can be paid except upon the vouchers issued from the- U. S. Pension Agencies. The l'. S. Pension Agent will, free of all charge to the pensioner, make out and for ward to the address of each pensioner, by mail, the prepared quarterly voucher, which such pensioner is to execute and return to the Pension Agent with the proof of identity required, when a check or Treasury draft will be mailed tor the full amount of the^nn eion. These checks and drafts being drawn on depositories of public money will be good and current in any part of the country. Thus it will be seen that any pensioner in the United States can receive the full amount of his pension at his own post office, without any expense of travel or other inconvenience. The fee of Claim Agents and Attorneys for the prosecution of a claim for pension before the Pension Office Washington, is fixed at l ten dollars when no contract is made, hut claimants may contract to pay a fee not ex ceeding twenty-five dollars, such contract to be made in writing, in duplicate, and ac- knowledgcd before some officer competent to administer oaths, aud both copies filed with the Commissioner of Pensions for his approv al.

The Whig says Mr. Samuel Mansell return ed to Bangor Tuesday after an absence of nine years, and was received with great joy by his relatives and friends, who had long since given him up for dead. Mr. Mansell left Bangor in '61 with the 2d Maine Kcgi mcnt as teamster. After the battle of Bull Bun, a large number of teamsters were dis charged, among them Mr. M.. and in a short time, his name was published in a list of men killed in the breaking down of a bridge. Hearing nothing from him, his friends of course supposed the report correct and have mourned him as dead until his unvpeeted re turn. It appears he went west after his dis charge and has since been engaged in teaming on the plains. A short time ago, his party were iittack*4>y Indians, *who ran off his stock and killed his two companions, and be ing tlius thrown out of business he concluded, to return to Bangor and lookup his friends, as above stated. A meeting of the Directors of the Maine j Central Railroad, was held at the Falmouth Hotel, Portland, Tuesday afternoon and eve ning. In the afternoon the Hon. W. U. Vin ton and other prominent citizens of Gray ap peared, urging the directors to locate the new piece of road through Gray, arguing that it would bring to the road all the trade of Casco and Raymond. Three routes are proposed, the first from Danville Junction through Gray to Falmouth; the second, from Danville through Gray to Cumberland; and last, from Danville, two and a half miles cast of Gray, thence to Cumberland; which ever route de cided upon to connect with the Portland Kennebec. In the evening the Directors were examining the routes witli the engineers who surveyed them, Messrs. C. O. Davis and Thomas Holt. The llangor Whig says that on Monday forenoon as a young man named Webber was mowing witli a machine, he rose to his feet to strike one of ids horses, with the ends of the reins, when both horses started quickly, throw ing him to tlie ground in front of the cutter bar. lie shouted to the horses and they stop- ped, but not until the rapidly moving cutters struck his left ankle just above the instep, mangling it in a horrible manner, severing the blood vessels and nearly all the tendons. The bones were also crushed, so that Dr. Seavey, who was called to attend him, re moved several pieces. The Dr. hopes to save his loot, thougli of course it will be stiff. TItc Machias Union says Kleazer Bryant, aged about 50 years, was killed at East Ma chias July 15th. He was engaged in sinking a stone or boulder that weighed ten or fifteen tons. The hole was deep and lie loosened the boulder so that it started too soon. Mr. B. was wedged between the stone and the earth, badly crushed, yet he gave the alarm. A large crew of mem released him, but he died immediately.

Opposite the Tost Office, AUGUSTA, MAINE. The?** Machines, by their shnplclty, durability, and the great range of work they’executc, have gained a reputation truly enviable. The famous success ot tin* sinokr Mantfacti'K inw-spcoded or ravcl--tiUhed inaj chine lor a Singer Xnr Family Machine. Various expoiients are resorted to, flint the pub lic eye may be turned from the singer for the pur pose of introducing inferior machine*—viz, "The liiUton-IIole Dodge.” “The Over-Seaming.” “The Double k-Knt, strongest, and most enterprising Compan ies that ha* ever been engaged in the business in the world. Throughout their immense manufac tories, which are kept in constant opera*ion "day ami night,’’ none but highly skilled mechanics are employed. Newly improved machinery is em ployed turning out each part finished to that me chanical exactness, that every one is a perfect du plicate of the other in size, weight and finish. All new inventions are cart fully examined and tested, and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex p n-e, while the many impractical humbugs that arc nateuted, are left to grace some new wonder and learn the purchaser when too late, that he has “paid too dear for his whittle.” It should be re membered that tke Singer Manufacturing Com pany has never made a poor Machine—from the very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy editorial notices, or expend funds in •log-rolling'’ at Fairs to gain medal- or premium*. They simply make their Machines as valuable as money and science can perfect them—place them in their Sales Rooms, and leave the public to find out their virtues in their own way. By this straight forward course they are now manufacturing about four hundred per C*ay. and at that rate, even, are unable to supply the demand. WHAT 18 THE NEW F AAI1LV SINGER OK 1870?

There was a slight error in the Albee-po tuto item yesterday. We should have said that sixteen hills yielded a cart-load! There have recently been several sudden deaths in this community. The peculiar circumstances under which some of the fami lies have been afflicted appeal with more than ordinary force to the sympathy of all. We have received a sweet little piece of music entitled “Hush-a-lly,” words by Mrs. Anna M. Wells and music by Prof. M. C. Milliken of this city, the popular teacher of music. It is published by E. E. Patterson, 144 Water street, Augusta. We are pleased to notice that Mr. L. B. Hill, late clerk in the Internal Revenue office, is now employed as a clerk in the post office. Mr. Hill was a member of the old first Maine Cavalry, serving his country faithfully during the war. Such men deserve public positions. The Democrats of the Third Congressional District are invited to send delegates to a con vention to he held iu this city on Tuesd^", August 23d, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Representative to Congress. Nominate a candidate for Representative to Congress from this district! Good joke I Mr. DeWitt, agent for the Messrs. Sprague, advertises this morning for laborers, stone cutters, and men on repairs of dam and new bulkhead. The work will be prosecuted with energy and thoroughness. There are so many interests dependent upon the rebuilding of the dam, that all will rejoice in the fact of the speedy rebuilding of that'structure. We are glad to learn that a youth’s tem perance organization is being formed in this m city. There is room for earnest, workers in the temperance field, and the most fruitful and promising part of the field is among the boys and girls. We are requested to Rsk the managers of the youth's organization to meet at R. M. Mansur’s office in Meonian Hall block, this afternoon at 2j o'clock. The I1. K., P. S. 1’., and Eastern Rail roads, with their usual liberality, have fur nished, through J. W. C’lapp, Esq., the ef ficient ticket agent in this ciiy. complimentary tickets to the editors and publishers of Maine and New Hampshire, by which they may pass over the several railroail lines to the grand reunion, which occurs at Rye Beach, X. IE. on the 27th and 28th inst. The new steamer Basanoa, for the Eastern Steamboat Co.’s Bath and Boothbay line, will be placed on the route on Monday next. Parties desiring to make an excursion to the beautiful harbor of Boothbay, will now be able to do so any day of the week, except Sundays, leaving here by the early morning train, stopping at Boothbay four or five hours and returning in the evening. Mr. K. M. Mansur, of this city, dealer in i musical instruments, has placed before us j No. 11 of llowe's Musical Monthly, which j contains eleven pieces of instrumental music, and teu songs with piano accompaniment. The publisher, Elias Howe, alleges that each number of this monthly contains $6 worth of first class piano music.—all for thirty-five cents. Mr. Mansur has also placed before us several numbers of Hitch cock’s Half Dime Seiies of Music for the million. In the light of recent events, how silly ap pears the following extract from a letter in the Machias Republican: “The Augusta dam will not be built this season. The city authorities have decided not to accept the proposition of the Messrs. Sprague. When they gave the Spragues about half a million to come to Augusta and erect factories, they “bought an elephant,” and now don't know what to do with it.” W|iat will the cheap correspondents whose effusions are iu a similar strain with the above, have to write about after the comple tion of the dam L. B. Ilamlcn, Esq., of this city, has pre sented us with two l»nk Mils, one of the de noniinati n of 810 and the other of 83, issued in 1806 by the Ilallowell and Augusta Bank. In their execution and general appearance they speak of the past, of the time when peo ple looked upon paper money, even in its best estate, with a great deal of suspicion. They bear the signatures of John U. X’age, President, and Jeremiah Dutunier, Cashier. They have passed through many hands, wear ing the paper upon which they are printed quite thin. These hills have n history, as we learn front North’s excellent work. The Hall owell and Augusta Bank was incorporated on the 6th of March, 1804, and was the first bunking institution established on the Kenne bec, and the fifth in the district of Maine. The corporators were chiefly citizens of the two places, with a few Hath and Wiicasset names. The bank was located at Ilallowell, with a capital of two hundred thousand dol lars, and was prohibited from Issuing bills of less denomination than five dollar*. It was required to appropriate one-eighth part of its whole funds ‘‘to loans to he made to citizens of the commonwealth, not resident in the town of Hallowell,” for the purpose of promoting the interest of Agriculture. Those loans were fo be made in sums Bot less than one hundred, nor more than five hundred dollars, ‘•and upon tho personal bond of the borrower, with collateral security, by sufficient mortgage of real estate, for a term not less than one year.” Tills provision, designed to foster ag riculture by loans to farmers, was in the charters of the previously mentioned banks. The corporators ol the Hallowell and Augusta Bank met on the 6th of July, at the house of John Sewall, innholder, in Ilallowell, for the purpose of organizing. A struggle which commenced in the legislature between Hallo well and Augusta for the location of the insti tution, was now renewed for iu organization. So nearly balanced were the parties, that each at first Claimed to have elected the chairman of the meeting. However, the Augusta party prevailed. Judge Cony was chosen chairman, and Ucuai William?, Secretary. Judge Bridge was elected President, but did not act long, if at all. John O. Page wm elected, and ever after during the life of the corpora tion continued its President. Jeremiah Dutu mer wa» the first and only Cashier. This hank wa» of great advantage to the Hook, ad ding much to its importance as a place of business. During the troublesome times pre ceding the war yf 181K it failed, with a Urge amount of bills in circulation. An effort was made to hold the stockholders, licuel Wil liams brought a hundred actions against them on its hills, at one term of the Court: but the hooks anil papers of the hank had disappeared and could not be found, and proper proof i could not be made of ownership of stock. Dummcr, the Cashier and rightful custodian of the hooks, knew nothing of them “of his own knowledge.” He could only testify to what he had heard, hut hearsay was not per mitted, and the hills became worthless. The building in w hich the bank was located is still standing, near the railroad depot, in Ilallow ell. Dallnwrll Items. Messrs. Page Stiekney are transforming the whiting mill on Vaughan Brook, into a grist mill. A grist mill will he a great con venience to the people.

PROM GARDINER. Extensive Ice Business. [Special Despatch to the Daily Kennebec Journal.] Gardiner, Me., July 20. Bark Elmira Combs was towoil 5ip this afternoon to Sturgis’ Ice Houses in Pittston. She is chartered to take a cargo of ice to Key West. She isllie first bark-rigged ves sel that has loaded ice in this vicinity for several years. There is a British bark of St. Dominique, hailing from I’icton, U. S., loading at Sturgis’, houses at Richmond for parties in Monte video. The Knickerbocker Ice Company of, Philadelphia have fourteen vessels loading at' their houses at Hallowell. Dresden, Rich-1 mond, Reed’s Rocks, and Bath. A Berry of Dresden has five; Gage Co., have three j barks at Pittston and Richmond loading, and three more coming. N. O. Mitchell lias three, W. C. Russell have six, Sagadahoc Co., have two. Cedar Grove two, one of them carrying seven hundred and five tons; Hartford City lee Co.. of Hartford, Conn., one, J. L. Cheescinan two, J. E. Black. Hallowell. one, making in all 39 vessels loading ice and waiting to load, between Bath and Hallowell, on the Kennebec river. This shows how extensive the ice business is on the river this summer. I WAR IN EUROPE. Paris, July 30. The Journal Official this morning, contains a decree nominating Gen. Edmund Eihout lately Minister of War as Maj. General. No newspajier correspondents, French or foreign will be allowed to accompany the Frencli army. An American resident here Dr. Evans lias i given 10.000 francs to the Society to aid the wounded soldiers of France. In the Corps Legistit to-day, M. Grnmmont| announced that war had been declared with j Prussia and her allies in the following words The expose presented to you on the loth I inst made known the cause we have for war! against Prussia, according to the rules and usages of nations, and by order ol the Em peror l have requested the Charge de Affairs 1 at Berlin to notify the cabinet of Prussia of I our resolution to seek with arms the guarantee I we could not obtain by discussion. This has been done, and I have the honor to make known to the Corps Eegislatif that in eonse quence tlureof a state of war exists since the i 19th between France and Prussia. This dec laration applies to the allies of Prussia w ho gives her armed assistance. A meeting ol the citizens c>f the i\ S. was held at the residence of Mr. Evans last night, to take measures lor the organization of a I .Sanitary commission. It is proposed that i the commission shall co-operate with the in tcrnal and French society in aid of the j wounded. Dr. Evans has placed at the dis posal of the new organization a report of the Sanitary commission, and a collection of l models of ambulances, stretchers, hospital tents, and other appliances used by the com mission during the late war. A donation of 1(1,000 francs was also made by Dr. Evans, as a necleus for a sanitary fund. A rich merchant has offered to equip 5,000 j volunteers, and keep them in rations during j the war. The Bourse is growing weaker. Bentes continue to decline, and are now quoted at 05 1 francs. No fighting on sea or land has yet been reported. Loitdon. July 20. j Germany makes the dethronement of the, Bonaparte* its ultimatum. The Liverpool markets yesterday were ut terly prostrated. Nothing was ever known like’ the commercial depression. Many men worth one hundred thousand pounds sterling a day or two ago are bankrupts to-day. Busi ness in yarns and fabrics at Manchester was also completely paralized. No news of any kind, of any engagement, either by land or sea has been received here. The rumors of alliances are still rumors only. No enthusiastic information of any powers having taken sides with either of the combat- j iants have been made public. __ FROM WASHINGTON. Washington. July 20. Suicide. M. Prevost Paradol, the French Minister who arrived here last week, committed sui cide last night, by shooting himself in his chamber. The circumstances show that the act was premeditated. The innmtes of the house at the time were his house-keeper and a French serving man. The woman heard the report of the pistol and rushed to the room, where she found Paradol lying dead on the tioor, bleeding from the left breast, the ball having entered immediately over the 1 heart. The weapon used was a small single barrel breech-loading Colts pistol found on tile iloor under him. He walked out yester day and purchased a pair of these pistols. The other was found on his bureau with a cartridge hesitie it. Harvey and Mann, Un dertakers, were sent for at an early hour this morning, hut it was not known tiiat M. Par adol had killed himself till after daylight, as the servants were timid about going on the street at night in a strange city. The body was embalmed and prepared for burial. Nothing further will he done until the arrival of M. Berthenny, who has been summoned trom New York. M. l’aradol had prepared himself for bed, j hut had evidently remained up for some time, meditating suicide. 11c had nothing on lull, liia night-shirt, and apparently stood facing the fire-place near the centre of the room, when he discharged the pistol. The body was found lying on the bark with one leg i draw n up, and the left arm outstretched above the head. The French Minister took possession of his house on Friday last, and j Sunday evening sent his son and daughter, who accompanied him to this country, to Newport, R. I., intending to join them in a j few days to spend the summer. He left a I note saying, “1 will kill myself, M. Berth I enny come hack and stay.” j A coroner’s inquest will he held at 7 o’clock j this evening. FROM BELFAST. Belfast, Me., July 20. The Uuivcraalist Church in this city which I has been undergoing extensive repairs dur i ing a year, was dedicated to-day. Rev. Amory Battles of Bangor delivered an ap propriate discourse. The Atlantic Base Bali Club of Bangor tried their skill this afternoon with the J M r.cppu club of this city and the former pre vailed. FROM NEW TORE. Nr.w Tork, July 20. Secretary Crosswcll has made arrangements for forwarding the mails three times a week to Europe on service less than at present. Oresswoll's telegraph to France to aecer tiiiu if the French government would allow Ger man steamers carrying tli« L'.S. mails to pass, provided they did not have anything on board, contraband of war, lias not been answered. Foreign letters should he addresseil via., England. The Evening Post advised the use of steam war ships for the transportation of mails. Howard Paul offers the executors of ('has. Dickens (1000 guineas for his collection of pictures and objects of art, to exhibit in this country. The cables have been unusually crowded to-day. At 4 P. M., no news had been re ceived here since noon from London, and the particulars of the naval battle published this P. M., are fabrications. In a few days the broken cables will he repaired, and the cable be at work. Fifteen fatal eases of sunstroke arc reported to-day. FROM BANGOR. Hangou, .July 20. Drowned. A little girl named Mary Sullivan, eight years of age was drowned last evening in one of the lumber docks. Sad Accident. Kdgar \V. Simpson of Hampden, who was at win k upon the new jail in this city was precipitated to the ground ts-day, by the giv ing wav of the staging. A large rock falling with him. together with the staging planks, and crushing in his chest and lungs, and causing Ids death in about three hours. TELEGRAPil TO EVEN’G PAPERS WAR ITEMS. I’akis, July 20. 1 he American Minister, Wasliburne. eon i rents to extend tile protection of the United States tlag to Prussian subjects sojuurning in this city. The Freneli Government has con sented to this stop, as the Germans are de prived of diplomatic appeal of Ilaron Wordi er. Count Wiinpftu. late Commander of the French army Operating agonist Algerine in surgents, tins left this city for Berlin, con veying to tl e Prussian Government the offi eial declaration of war by France. It is announced that the Lelligerents will respect the neutrality of I.uxenbtirg, and will avoid taking advantage of lier situation as a base for strategetie operations. Berlin, July 20. I The city of Cologne has been placed in a j state of seige. I The greater portion of the troops garrison ing the eityof Aix In Chapellc have been re moved. London, July 20. The London Gazette publishes a proclama tion ut' neutrality of the Government of Great Britain during the war between Prussia and Fiance. Wasiijnuton, July 20, The despatches in the New Vurk Tribune stating that the State Department had re ceived despatches from Minister Sickles to the effect that Spain will remain neutral is contradicted hvauthority. Nothing whatever lias been received here from our minister at Madrid. Baron Gerotl* states that force of circum J stances will govern the question as to whether the Prussians will act on the aggressive and cross tile borders into the French dominions. He also states that his government has no line of policy with reference to 'assuming the de fensive alone; that they are in earnest, and if an opportunity favorable to their arms and cause present itself, the Prussians will at once invade France and force a Battle. He thinks France desires this in order to throw the responsibility upon Prussia. FINANCIAL A COMMERCIAL. New York Money Market. New 1'ohk, July 20. Gold closed 122‘j.

Pailf Jitnittbfr fanrital. Tgl WOXDERFl'L TRAXSFORMATIOXS. Exclusive of animal decay, we can har dly arrive at a rrtore absolute type of im parity than the mud ov slime of a damp overtrodden path in the outskirts of a manufacturin': town. The slime we shall find in most cases, composed ot clay (or brick dust, which is burnt clay,) mixed with sand and water. AM these element* are at helpless war with each other’s na ture and power—competing ami fighting for place at every tread of your foot—sand squeezing out clay, and clay squeezing oat water, and soot meddling everywhere and defiling the whole. Let us suppose thia ounce of mud is kept in perfect rest, and that its elements gather together like to like, so that their atoms may get into the closest relations possible. Let the clay begin. Ridding itself of all foreign sub stances, it gradually becomes a white earth, already very beautiful, and fit with the help of congealing fire, to be made in to finest porcelain, and painted on, and to be kept m king's palaces. But such arti ficial consistence is uot its best. Leave it still quiet, to follow its own instinct of unity, it becomes not only white, but clear; not only clear, but hard but so set that it can deal on the light in a wonderful way, and gather out of it the loveliest blue rays, only repressing the rest. We call it then a sapphire. Such being the cousumation of the clay, wo then give similar permis sion of quiet to the sand. It also be comes first a white earth; then it grows clear and hard, and at last it arranges it self in mysterious and infinitely fine pnrl lel lines which have the power of reflect ing the blue rays, the green, purple and rod rays, in the greatest beauty in which they can be seen through any hard material whatever. We call it then an opal. Next in order, the soot sets to work. It cannot make itself white at first— bat Instead of being discouraged, tries harder and harder, and at last comes out clear, the hardest thing in the world and for the blackness it had, obtains in ex change the power of reflecting all the r ay's of the sun at once, in the most vivid blaze that any solid tiling can emit. We call it then a diamond. Last of all the water purifies or wastes itself, contented enough it it only reaches the form of a dew-drop. Bnt if we persist in its proceeding to a more perfect consistence, it erystalizes in to the shape of a star. So for the ounce of slime we had at first, we have a sapph ire, an opal, a diamond, set in the midst of a star of snow. We see, then, the seeming trouble—the degradations of the elements of earth must passively wait the appointed time of their restoration. But if there be in ns a nobler life than in those strangely moving atoms—if. indeed, there is an eternal difference between the fire which inhabits them and that which ani mates us, it must be shown by each of us in his appointed place—not merely in the preteuce. but in the activity of our hope not merely by our desire, but by our labor for the time when the dust of the genera tions of men shall be conformed for foun dations of the gates of the city of God. —Bus kin.

Editor UosMorLiTE: I desire, asnn unsolicited tribute to the merits of Helmbold’s Buchu, and for the benefit of those similarly alllictecl us myself, to say that after consulting many eminent physicians, and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies, in the vam hope of finding relief from uggrivated kidney and bladder diseases, from which I have suffered excessively for many years, good fortune finally suggested to me Helnibold’s Buchu. which 1 commenced using with little fuilli. and no apparent beneficial results for about a month. At the expir ation of that time, however, I thought I commenced to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to persevere in its use, and now, at the expiration ol lour months, although I am an infirm old man, nearly 78 years of age, and consequently medicines cannot be expected to favorably affect iue as they otherwise would, I have found such unspeakable relief and permanent benefit Bom Mr. Helmbold’s valuable discovery, that 1 feel I ought to publicly record the fact, as an acknowledgement to him and a valuable suggestion to the public.

Dr. Helmbold— Dear Sir It la with much pleasure that 1 write you upon facia re*peeking my self. I do not know hardly bow to express reiyseJ I have been for the last ten or twelve yearn the greatest sufferer man could r>e ,od iive; put more sometime* %an others The eompbuai w»a the “Kidneys” and Bladder I have been -omehme# from twelve to fourteen hours and wanted U> make water every minute, but could not Have consult ed doctor*, both in Massachusetts and this -.tAte. and taken pills, 1 may say, by the \art also liq uored medicines, but found no rebel from any, and got worse the last six months. 1 was so mat I could scarcely get about. I could not re-t night or day, It would soon have been “all up” with me if I had not seen your advertisement in “The Berkshire Courier” headed “Kidnevs I read it through and thought I would try it. 1 purchased h bottle, but, iniiuf you. had not much faith in it. Why Smuumi I, w hen I had been trying so many things and cost me so much Well, I Yiegan taking it, «u«l before I had taken the first bottle I felt bad: but I finished it and fot another. By the time I took half of the second still got worse (apparently). When I walked it seemed as if my right kiduey was falling from its place, and I felt really bad. I felt so, before I had finished the second, that I had made up ray mind it was of no use trying any more—aud all this time the “Buchu” was doing it* work, but I did not know It; so I gave it up and went to Hartford on Saturday to see one of the best doctors in the city, lie said It w as the neck of the bladder, and I should have to uudergo au operatiou. He gave me med icine, and I went home quite downhearted. On Sunday 1 was unable to go to church. 1 had not taken any of his medicine, but on my return contin ued using the “Buchu,” aud in the afternoon I had a desire to make water, but could not. About one hour after this I tried again, with the same result; but the next time 1 took the veHsel it was the same as turning a faucet aud stopping it off again. It was so for three times, and the third time there was something came through the passage and struck against the side of the vessel. 1 examined it, aud it is the ugliest stone pr gravel you ever saw, cov ered over with little peices which collrted together. It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is as hard as i a flint. So you see the “Buchu” was doing its work although I was feeling so badly. I procured an other bottle thinking their might be some more be hind, but since that has passed, which is eight weeks ago last Sunday, 1 have been as well as ever j w as in inylife. 1 have the stone securely wrapped and those who have seen it in this place are sur prised. I cannot tell you all, but this is a true story of my case, and you are welcome to make such use of my name as you think proper. 1 am pretty well known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut. The ad vertisement saved me. Why not publish more? The Springfield Republican is a wide-spread paper. If any one wishes to see this wonder, they can do so. 1 could write all day, but think I have said enough this time, so I remain your ever well w isher EDWARD L. HOWARD, Paper Maker, Burnside.

I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not used, or known in be used, in tin* various diseases where such medicate agent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, und the reputation it has ac quired, in my Judgment, is warranted by the facts. I have seen and used, as bclorc stated,'everv form of Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex tracts—and I am not conguizaui of any preparation of that plant at all equal to votire. Twelve years’ experience ought. I thiuk, to give me the right to judge of its merits; and, without prejudice or par tiality. I give yours precedence over all others. 1 value voui Buchu for its effects on patient*. I have cured w ith it. and seen cured with it, more disease* of the bladder aud kidney* than I have ever seen cured with any other Buctiu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name.
