things by their right names. They never under

MANY years since, very powerful
nation of Indians, brought to the eminent
DR.. Chaplin quantity of medicine, which
they wished the Doctor to take and try its
effect on cases ofdyspepsia which he did
with the most perfect success. Some time
elapsed, and the few that had been benefit
ted by the medicine became clamorous for
more, which the Doctor was unable to sup
ply. Shortly after, the chief, Red Jack ct,
made his appearance, when the Doctor was
able to get from him the names and proper
tions of the ingredients used in the bitters
which he used in his practice many years,
adding only few herbs to make them more
paatable. These bitters are now put up i'll
quart bottles and offered to the public the

The death Of the notorious Tom Hyer
produces q profound sensation among the
champions Of the prize ring. Although
he enjoyed the reputation Of being the
best locking man on Broadway, disease
did not spare even SO great an athlete as
Hyer. A pOst mortem examination re-
Vesled the fact that the liver was very
much diseased, and the whole structure Of
it entirely degenerated into q schirrus
mass. The spleen Wss enormously large,
measuring ten and half inches in length,
eight inches in width, and Weighing sew
sral pounds.
It is Of but little consequences that q
young man psrsdes and rejoices in his
nussel so long ss he il constantly making
attacks upon his system BY means Of mix
ed drinks. It's very sad commentary
on the young men Of the day that they can
not listen through q single play ct the
thester, without '1iquoring up" q number
Of times during the evening.
Health and strength, no doubt 60 hand
in hand, but the most physically perfect
man may, though sesming,y healthy and
counted good looking, die with liver, de-
generated into asohirrus mass" and q
spleen weighing several pounds" Tom
dyer was evidently not very fine model
to pattern sfser. Young men, remember
the liver and the spleenl

The fact Of repuIse to Sherman on

Stanton. 1t is perhaps best that SO mea-
gre statement IS that furnished by the
Secretary Of War, should be all that the
people are permitted to know until the
slow process Of the mails brings fuller re-
suits. Bat nevertheless, it is aggrsvst-
ing to thousands of people whose hearts
are IN constant, anxious suspense in re-
gard to the results. v
It is an outrage that men connected
with the press, and who are willing to be
responsible fer what they write, should be
allowed to gather up news in sherman'S
army at the peril Of their lives Es We
know the correspondents Of several news
papers do. General Grant seems to have
no trouble about newspapers. uwould be
better for General Sherman to allow the
transmission Of speedy and full details Of
what had actually occurred. If disasters
come, the people can endure it. If VIC
tories, they are equally anxious 10 hear.

Right for a'FlaE-an Incident Ofthe War.
A correspondent Of the New York Herald
tells the following.
Among the many incidents Of bravery
and personal danger exhibited in storming
the enemy's entrenchmsnt at Peter sburg,
the capture of rebel battle flag by q pri-
Vate in the Third New York Regiment, in
General Smiths oorss, deserves especial
mention. While the contest was ct its
height, and the tide Of battle sWsying to
and fro, be espied the flag, borne BY srete ell
captain, who picked it up ss its former
bearer fell ct HE side. The gallant New
Yorker singled him out for personal en-.
counter, and after hard hand to hand
fight, succeeded in capturing the flag and
its bearer, and emerged from the dust and
smoke Of the conflict viotoriously bearing
the banner and driving the captain before
him.
