1t is sad to think that thousands die annually with
the means Of life and health almost within arms
length. Many weakling goes down to the grave
every day whom the timely use of HOsTETTER'S
CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERs would have
saved. 1t is consolation, however, to know that
this glorious Tonic-a yitalizing Elixir without sim
gle drawback-s preserving the lives Of multitudes.
In Of general debility and prostraon, it is pro-
ducing effects that are perhaps more astonishing
than anything heretofore observed recorded in the
history of medical treatment. Feeble, emaciated,
and despairng patients, whose powers Of digestion
seem to be actually extnguished recover their appe-
tte strength and spirits, under course of the Bit
ters, with rapidity that is positively amazing. All
that the proprietors originally expected from the
preparation long ago thrown into the shade by its
actual results. New virtues which they had never
thought of attribatng it, are continually being de-
veloped in its application to new cases. As a pre-
tentative of diseases of every class and consttu-
tional invigorant it stands alone and unapproach-

Col. J.P. Cilley, list Maine cavalry, whom
many of our readers will remember as major
and examining officer at the Central Guard
house in the'spring and summer of 1868, while
disabled for active field service from severe
wound in his right arm and shoulder, has been
promoted by the President to be Brigadier
General by brevet for gallantry during the late
spring campaign. The LIST Maine cavalry has
been highly complimented by Gen. Sheridan
and other officers for gallantry. 1t is now au-
thorized to bear on its standard the names of
thirty-fiv battles, which, we believe, is as
many, if not more than any regiment of in
fantry OF cavalry in the army Washington
Chronicle.
We learn that the 1st Maine cavalry are now
preparing their rolls, preparatory to being.
and will soon be on their way
home. The number of battles 1851 that it is
now authorized to bear on its standard is three
more than any other regiment in the army.
Gen. Cilley, who has been wounded in three
different battles, has had sole charge of the
regiment for nearly year, as lieutenant col
onel, being the only field officer present with
the regiment; the three majors having been
detailed, and attached to different stats, while
Col. Smith has been in charge of brigade.

THE TENDENCY OF THE AGE.

A Newport Correspondent of the New York
Times discourses as follows:
Everything in these days seems to run to
masculinity. Look at the dress-by degrees
the female race have adopted garment after
garment; they began with the never-mention-
ems, and have now got to swallow-tail coats,
sackcoats, overcoats, paletots, hats caps, boots,
and now take the reins into their own hands
and drive horses, and make man look the
personitication of humiliation, and woman a
perfect Tomboy. Itmay be fashionable, but
for a lady to do these things at a fashionable
watering-place, in a conspicuous way, argues
several things: first sufficient assurance to re-
lieve her from the charge of bashfulness and
timidity; secondly, il looks "fast,D cloud" too
stunning" and such a young lady is quite
likely to consider herself competent to drive
after marriage, which leads to slight domestic
differences, commonly known as arows"~ y +"

LIEUT.. GEM. GRANT IN BOSTON.

LIEUT.. 6EiN. GnASI LIN bO6TON.
4 The "indomitable Grant" dropped into Bos-
ton on Saturday evening almost unannounced.
A dispatch heralded him in the fore part of
the day, after he had left Albany, or the Bos-
tonians would have been taken by complete
surprise. AS It was, the gallant hero met with
reception of the most fattering character,
and every way worthy Of his fame.
At little past seven in the evening the
train arrived, and such crowd Of concentrat-
ed humanity as the neighborhood OF the depot
presented, has seldom been witnessed in that
city
We learn from,the Boston Aduertiser, that,
as the General alighted from the cars, the
Cadets, who were drawn up in line on the
platform, with the Brigade Band, presented
arms, and dipped their colors, while the Band
played martial welcome. Leaning on the
arm of Adjutant General Schouler, the Gene
raj, with his party, were escorted out of the
station, by the Beach-street door, to an ele-
CANT barouche, to which four noble, restless
horses were harnessed. AS soon as the form
Of the dininutive great man was seen by the
thousands of people who thronged the streets,
the welkin rang with their shouts of welcome,
and they seemed almost crazy with excite
ment. The General was hurried into his car
riage, but it was some minutes before the
horses could be started, on account of the
crowd. The excited people rushed wildly to-
wards the barouche, determined to grasp the
hand Of the noble chieftan. In that swaying,
crushing, crowding, pushing, whiting mass of
humanity were soldiers who had fought under
the f'indonitable Grant in the terrible battles
in the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Weldon Rail-
road, and who had joined in the seige which
ended in the downfall Of the rebel capital; and
tits not to be wondered at that, for the mo
ment, they were frantic with joy at seeing
their old commander. as.a sas 'ls tiHgN q"
s The General finally reached Bowdoin Square
where the crowd was immense BY "fank
movement the distinguished officer entered
the parlor of the Revere before the crowd knew
of his intention. Gov. Andrew and other no
tables were in attendance. Supper was serv-
ed at haHpast eight, meantime the crowd con-
tinued to surge outside, and the band to play
patriotic and soul-stirring airs. General Grant
finally appeared upon the balcony, with his
little son Ulysses, and Governor Andrew and
Mayor Lincoln on either side. The band play
ed " Hail to the Chief" while the cheers of the
crowd filed the air. sRousing hurrahs were
given for The old Bulldog of the Weldon
Railroad and repeated cries for a speech were
made. The General bowed his thanks, and
as soon as an opportunity was given His Ex-
cellcncy the Governor said "a
Conference.-The General wishes me to say
that he highly appreciates the honor of your
call this evening, and that he viii be happy to
meet his friends and take them by the hand,
at Falleuil Hall, on Monday at II o'clock.
This brief speech of the Governorewas re-
ceived with great applause and cheering. The
General then retired to the parlors. ~

MIR. ROEBUCK THE Halter OF
AA9t leAlit's AMEhICA

This proud and stubborn Englishman made
a long speech at Sheffield, in which he alIuded
to this country in terms which show the spirit
by which he has been animated in his abuse If
the Northern States. We are sorry to read
such sentiments from man who speaks onr
OVID language. But what can we expect from
proud and naughty aristocrats of the Old
World whose Ii es have been spent in crushing
out the spirit of Liberty fir m the hearts of
Cheir own countrymen and treating the work..
ing classes as butlittle better than slaves. The
tsllowing is an extract from this long and elab-
crate address to the people of Sheffield:
S"Recollect that the United States Of Ameri-
ca extend over territory so large and SO bean
tifuIy fertile, that by-and-by when it is filled
with the great Anglo-Saxon race, that people-
mark my words, our children may learn to he
lieve them-that people will govern the world.
Hear, hear.) My feeling was and is, that thew
nave manifested so arrogant a disposition. thev
have insulted ENGLAND whenever She couid he
insulted, that said: 81 will as far as / am con-
celned, aid and assist in breaking up that now
erful union in communities that win be less
powerful" g8a 8
Talk of us as manifesting an arrogant dis
position Such an accusation comes with an
i'll grace from such proud and arrogant Eng
lishman. 1t is not our arrogant disposition.
he so much breads and hates Not bit of it.
He fears most the spirit Of liberty that prevails
here. He knows very well that it has already
crossed the waters and is at work in the hearts
of Englishmen. Breaking up our powerful
Union" is work which all the Roebucks in
Christendon can never perform. The more
UGH haughty aristocrats contend against it the
stronger it will grow. 'a

SUMMER FRUITS.


Many people fear to eat fruits during the
warm weather from an idea that they are not
wholesome. No greater mistake can be made.
In the heats of summer, when fevers and vari-
GUS forms Of bilious disease prevail, fresh fruits
are not only harmless, but extremely benef-
cial. All fruits contain acids which are useful
in promoting the separation of the bile from
the blood, cooling the system, and allaying the
tendency to fever. Their abundance in the
hot season is one of the-most striking of, the
many evidences of a thoughtful over-ruling
care in providing for the wants of man.
Fruits should, however, never be eaten after
they have lost their freshness, as the fermen-
tation which precedes decay entirely changes
their character. And, to secure the highest
degree ofiibenefit from them, they should be
taken without sugar, which to some extent
neutralizes their effect. Delicate persons
should not take milk or cream with fruits, and
should drink but little after eating them. OBJ
serve these precautions, and the delicious
fruits with which our market abounds may be
eaten in almost any quantity with entire
safety. am tgas.a ffsfAfsrr laf1-.4sf.

A few weeks since the reading public were
treated to wonderfully graphic description of
the burning of Barnum's Museum in New
York, with all its wild animals, In which a
scene of horrors was portrayed such as few
men have lived to witness in this hum-drum
word of ours. The terrific conflict between
the loness and the boa-constrictor, the death
struggle between the Royal Bengal tiger and
the leopard, the frying of the whale in its own
olubber, the cries of agony and howls of dis
ress that could he heard for half mile ;--these
were all depicted with degree of ninuteness
and accuracy that could scarcely fail to i'm
press the reader with a. consciousness of their
exact truthfulness; and yet it was all fabri-
cation, the museum containing no such ami
mails as some of those described while those
that it did contain had been removed previous
to the fire, for exhibition in the country.
We have referred to this matter at the: pres
emit time because we have a parallel case of
newspaper rcinancing nearer home, though on
a very different subject, and in very different
vein. Yesterday morning. two of our city
contemporaries put their feet in slightly, in
connection with things religious and denomi-
national at the Sd parish church in this city.
