Admitted to the banqi.ettiHg room, he sees a ' large compnny, all of whom had indulg-d in 1 copious libations, and the greater nuinherof! whom were qnite intoxic ited.

Such signal services soon obtained for him the government of Icria, ' the rank of Prince, and iu 1702 the title of "Major General. He was then live and twenty years of age. " , War hiving been declared against Poland. Menzikoff signalized himself in seretal battles, and attained to the highest offices. Put was he happy ? No: the perpetual fears of a reverse that haunted him, the consciousness that he was an object of jealousy and envy to all who snr- ; rounded him, robbed him of nn thing like tran- ' qnihty of mind. Every thought was absorbed in the unceasing effort to mninta-n his elevrucj rank, now only second to that of the Emperor I himself. But he was even now ill ; he might die ; what, then, would become of tlie favorite Menzikoff?

Menzikoff was fully aware that his fate was bound up with that of the Empress Catharine, over whose min i he h id ' always had great influence, and in concer'. with her he gained over all parties to favor her succession to the throne after the demise of her husband.

Nearly all the diseases of Summer are traceable to exposures in ihe Spring, ir lo the neclecl of those nedical means which "hould have been resorted to. It is not surprising that the human system should be powerfully affected at this time. The whole realm of nature shows that wonderful in fluences are uoiead. Tlie outer world awakes to new life, and man and beast and nil animated existence are affected. Now is the time, therefore, to use such medicinal preparations as experience has shown to be infallible i.l ihe prevention mid cure of diseases As i SntlMi 3IEUICINE.S, 'he Graelenbercr Vepetabl Pills, the Graefenbrrc ; Health Hitters, and the Gia. fenberir Sarsanarilla Compound, should superceded all others. For uni- ! vcr-al use the Pills and Pitiers art of incalculable value. Those w ho lake them need not fear tkeenervat. nir effects of the Summer w hieh is at hani. The ohMct ol the present Rulletin is to apprize the public ofthe aeknow leilired snj.erioritv ortbeGraefcnbere; SARSAPAKILLA COMPOUND. Sarsaparitlr is of vast efTu-acy in clt ansinir ihe system from its foulest taints; but it must be prepared nn the most scit atitic principles and in the mti.t tatthful manner. It is not eiioni;li that we put it in larpe vessels or vats to steep or boil, mixinjr. it with great quantities of molasses and water. An article thus manufactured must injure the tone of the Stomach, anp becomparatively inert. The Sarsaparilla Compound manufactured by the Graef. nberp Company, is a most powerful concentration. It is to Saisaparilla what quinine is to Peruvian Bark; one bottle containing more virtue than ten of anyoiher ever be fore manufactured. The dose is half a tea-spoonful only: so that there are more doses in a bottle than there is in the largest bottle in market of any other manufacture. It is almost literally a Nulplcifc of Sarsmpfririlla. I he public are well advised of the uses of Sarsaparilla, by means of the numerous advertisements which crowd the press. It is unnecessary f..r us, therefore, to trouble the reader with a recapitulation ofthe matter. We would simply add that all persons who have made up their minds to use the article should purchase no other than that made bv this Company. T It is warrant, d to he ten times" more efli.-atious than any olher known; no matter how large the bottle, or extravagant tin advertisements, because it contains in addition to Sarsapnrilla, a pow. erful concentration of Mandrake, Burdock, Queen's Delight, F.lder, Yellow- Dock, qiiiacum, and other important medicaments hieh are not found in any other preparation. It has performed cures of a kind almost surpassing belief, and it recommended be the Faculty. ttj-The General Agent for Indiana is Myers Seatnn Cenireville, Wai ne Co., Ind. to w bom applications for agencies may be addressed.

HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY. Signor D'Alvear went out to California nearly two years ago, in consequence of certain information which lie had received ofthe geological character ef that country, w ith the firm belief that vast mines of precious meals would he revealed there, upon careful investigation. He was encouraged to this enterprise, also, by his confidence in the powers of a certain magnetic instrument which he had invented, called the -'Goldometer,' by w hose aid he expected to be directed at once to the '-Gold Placers," if stir such existed. Nor were his expectaf ions disappointtd. His scientific calculations proved to be founded in truth and profound wisdom, and his new instrument, the "Goldometer,'- fulfilled his highest hopes In less than two months afier reaching California, he struck upon one of the richest gold mines in that country, upon an obscure branch ofthe Sacramento river, in a gorge of hills sxtremelx rocky and difficult of acres., and seldom visited by the native Californians. Disguising his object under the pretence of pur. ly scientific research, he obtained ihes.a.r 25 some fifteen or twenty simple and faithful Indians, 2J and steadily pursued his task, collecting often mors than s.i.POO worth of gold in a single dav, which he concealed in a deep ravine, without exciting any suspicion whatever, until after the discovery of gold at Capt. Sutter's Mill, w hen the mountains were ransacked by gold seeker., and Signor D'Alvear" "gold placer," the richest in all California, was beset with greedy adventure!.. It is now found that the real mines or sources of the gold, lie in the gorges of the n. contains, and not in the beds or sand, of the rivers Previous to having California, Signor D'Alvear sold his instrument, the Goldometer, a very imperfect one, for 3.C00 dollars. I he person w ho purchased u confidently expected to make a handsome fortune, by simply finding "gold placers" and tellingout tho right ol digging to the gold workers. MANVFACTL RF. F IHE OOLDOMETER, PUBLICATION OF THE GUIDE. Signor D'Alvear. in compliance w ith the request of numerous scientific gentlemen, has commenced ihe manufacture of his new Magnetic Instrument. Ihe GOLDOMETER, which he now offers for .a le i in the United States, at the remarkably low price oi 55 : THREE DOLLARS each, accompanied by lull ia55 strnciions for use, and a variety of Philosophical 37 hints drawn from ihc ancient and modern sciences. 25 or the SO I ART OF FINDING MINES OF GOLD!

Signor D'Alvear does not deem it necessary to encumber this notice w ith a long list of testimonials in proof or the value or his GOLDOMETER. a'nd GOLD SEEKER S GUIDE. The brill.ant result, ol bis labors in California, and the discoverv this very week, of fr. h veins of Gold in Virginia, and bed. ot Coal in Rhode Island, by its use, are alone Mimcii nt to stamp it as the greatc-t discovery of tha age. Nothing hut the mreinr cheapness orthe instrument, and his desire In see- it used forthe benefit of niankidd induces him to dispose of it at the low price for which he offers it. Resides this, his own desire tor w ealth is nearly satisfied. The follow ing testimonials, in proof ofthe value af the Goldomettr. selected from a great number equally satisfactory, must suffice for the present: Astor House, New York, Dee. 21, 1848. The undersigned, having this day witnessed th practical "pi ration ofSignor Jose De Alvear's newly inv.nted magnetic instrument, the Goldometer, feel entirely satisfied that it possesses the extraordinary power of detecting Mineral ores hidden beneath the surface ofthe earth, and have no doubt that is will prove an invaluable 'aid in the discovery of th Mineral resources ofthe Vnited States and the world J. 7?. T)RA PER, Jr., Chemist, L. S. I I KRMANN, Magnetic Ins. Maker, G. S. DANA, Geologist. Los Angelos, California, Angust, 184t. This may eeniy that the undersigned is fully convinced that Signor Jose De A Wear was the first discoverer ot the the Gold depnsitea of California, and that this discovery was made by the aid of a magnetic instrument called the Goldometer, which 1 have seen successfully applied to the discovery of veins of Gold ore, in places w here no indications of that substance appeared upon the surface of the earth. T. IV. SHERMAN, Lieut. 3d Artillery, V. S. Army. NO AGENTS. In consequence of the difficulty of finding faithful igents, and of preventing frauds, where articles of this nature are sent out tor general sale, Signor D'Alvear has determined to sell none of his works or instruments unless ordered by letters sent diiectly to him, when the desired publication, or instrument, w-iil be forwarded under bis signature and seal, s that all doubt as to its genuineness may be removed. DEWARE of all imitations of this Instrument w hich may hereafter appear, as the secret of imparting the Gold Detecting power is known tonopesson whatever, except the original inventor. The GODDOMF.TEiV, andf GOLD SEEKEB'S GUIDE, will both be sent by mail, closely enveloped and sealed, an d therefore, not subject to inspection by postmasters, for the sum of THREE DOLLARS, sent pot paid 10 SIGNOR JOSE D'ALYEAR, Box 2713, New York City.
