WARN WEATHER.-Mr. Chas. Darrell, q
citizen Of Montgomery, Ala, furnishes the
Mail of that city, with statement Of the
coolest and warmest days in each year for
the past p years. The writer says: "In
June 1884, there were nine days in which
July, 1860, to the Goth Of the month there
were six days at 1902; one day each at
lOl and 1922, and two days at 1912"
The writer also says that the wasmost
weather is in June and July. During the
whole period of p years, there was but
one day in which the thermometer stood
at l04'', until this year.

An IDLE RUMoR.-Several of our
city contemporaries, and we believe some
of the journals in other places, have
given currency to rumor that the
Democratic National Convention would
probably be changed to some other To-
cality than Charleston. This, to those
who are well informed on the subject,
is simply ridiculous. The place was
fixed, not by the Committee, but by vote
of the Cincinnati Convention. The
Committee was empowered to fix the
time, but was entrusted with no author
ity whatever as to the place for holding
the Convention.
We are authorized to state that this
is the view taken of the subject by the
Chairman Of the Committee, and that
no thought is or has been entertained of
making a chang".-Jour. Of Commerce.

One Of the greatest remedies that has ever been
laid before the public, for Fever and Ague, and
which have received the highest encomiums from
the press and the people, is DIR. J. HOSTETTER'S
CELEBRATED BlTTERS. Who would endure
the torturcs arising from this terrible disease,
when it can be so easily cured? Who would en-.
dure sleepless nights, burning fevers and icy chlls
alternately, when remedy can be obtained for
mere tridc? And yet how many families finger
out painful existence under this deadly blight,
and do nothing but gulp down quinine, until it
becomes common their daily meals, and yet
they are not relieved. None but the foolish and
weak would hesitate to procure these valuable
Bitters. and save Themselves intense agony.
