A Point on which all Ply
sicians Agree.

Out Of ten thousand regular physicians you
cannot find one who will not say that stimulants
and invigorants are absolutely necessary in medi-
cal practice, And yetrn bygone years humane
practitioners have hesitated to administer them
because the fendish ingenuity of wrethes who
make merchandise of human inhrmities had SO
nolIuted and deterioated them that the remedy
was as dangerous as the disease This perpexi.
because chemists have demonstrated the fact that
Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Btters are abso-
lutely and entirely free from all pernicious ele-
ments. Hence they have been introduced into the
u ! A and are accepted. where the testimony oil
the wise the intelligent is rated at its just value,
as the best protective against all diseases arising
from impurity IN the air or other unhealthy Gu
matte influences, that has ever been sesteu ~ ca

plaint, we state without qualification or reserva

EVENING HOURS.
TO MISS v. T. L.

Softly bright the star-beam slideth
From its home Of blue;
Soft and silent now 1t glideth
Quiet lakes into;
Comes it now to turn to diamonds
Every drop ofdew.
All! mtthinks twill find no fairer
Jewel here than you.
Where the trees hang out their branches
On the scented air,
Like a beauteOus thought 1t glances
On thy forehead fair
Gently stealing mid thy golden
Golden wealth of hair,
Till the glory of the evening
Seems all centered there.
And thy eyes, those orbs Of splendor,
kindle at the gleam,
While thy lips, those lips so tender,
Move like music's dream;
And the shadows Of thy beauty,
MirrOred on the stream,
Seems to gaze upon the real
With Its glory-beam.
Stay, sweet hours, ah why this fleetness
Why thus haste to 60?
Know ye not the Queen of Beauty
Lingers with you now?
Lightly kiss, but do not wake her,
Lest she weary grow
Ere the banners of the morning
Der the mountains glow.
When she wakes at morn from silence,
Let her gently glide
Down among the fairest islands

saw him steal it. A wag having vol
unteered his counsel for Josh, know.

dressed him as follows: t
MAY it please your honor, can es
tablish this mans honesty beyond .
Of doubt, for I have twelve
witnesses who are ready to swear thai
they did not see him steal it.
The squire rested his head for few
moments as if in deep thought, and
with great dignity arose, and brush

his advance 1t was now about half
past ten o'clock in the night. The en-.
emy had been arrested, and the fight
one of the most remarkable, long-con-
tested and gallant ones that had yet
occurred on our lines-was concluded
with the achievement of field under
the most trying circumstances, which
the enemy, with the most overpowering
numbers brought up to reinforce him,
had not succeeded in reclaiming."
There were few names in the bright
galaxy of Confederate leaders that now
shone with a lustre equal to that of A..
p. Hill, who only three months before
had been q colonel commanding sim

ent position without politics influence
or favoritism, but by gallant deeds and
consummate skill.

A Queer Story,

The Washington correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette says: "A short
time since all official letter from one of
the departments of the French Govern
ment was given to clerk, who was q
Frenchman, to copy The clerk after
finishing the letter, as it now appears,
inclosed private note to Drouyn de
Lhuys. Through some fault in the di-
rection, the letter came back to the
Dead Letter Office. Upon opening it
the private letter of the clerk came to
light. 1t urged the immediate increase
Of the French army in Mexico, and a
march northward, saying that the South
would welcome the French standard,
and that through its aid both the con-
quest of Mexico and the union Of the
Republics would be assured

A foe more deadly to human life
than cannon balls or bullets, now men,
aces the people of Germany. 1t threat
ems alike the soldiers in the field and
the non combatants at home. The
cholera has broken out in three places
in the cnvirons Of Berlin; is said to
prevail at Altenburg, and at Hamburg
has caused several deaths among pas
sengers by ship from Stettin. We hear
also of the epidemic at Anglers, St. Ma
xaire, Nantes and Amenens in France,
but its presence is much more to be
dreaded in camps. Most of our read
ers have heard of its fearful ravages in
1917, among the British troops in
Whole companies and
even regiments, in Il few days, were
PROSTATE under its influence. Deci
nation would be an inadequate term to
express the per centage of its fatality.
War is fearful enough in itself, but
when begun beneath the shadow of the
pestilence, it assumes double ghast-
ness.

seeds ofdiscord? Have they not plum
dered the people Of their cotton and
farm animals, imposed the severest
punishments upon the negroes and de-
frauded the Government Of millions OF
money! There is no crime known to
the law, however shameless and unpro-
voked, that these thieves and tyrants
have not been guilty of again and
again. The last browning act OF their
career of infamy and robbery is the
reinstatement of the very people for
whose freedom they boasted that they
have been fighting.
But these Federal officials are not
the only parties engaged in this horri-
BILE business. 1t is true they are the
active agents, but there are others who
are not guiltless. And who are these
othersY They are Messrs. Stevens
and Sumner and the Radical Congress
who follow at their heels. Those Sen
ators and Representatives hold the
South by the throat, while these agents
and officers rifle her pockets and sell
many of her people into slavery! Is
this not SOP Does any sensible man
believe that these wholesale robberies
and this infamous slave trade would be
tolerated one day if the Southern States
were permitted to resume their rightful
places in the Unionp And if they
would not be so tolerated are not the
members of Congress who stand in the
way of a restoration of these States,
as we'll as these kidnappers and robbers,
responsible for these monstrous wrongs
and outrages? ."
The negroes of the South are fast
opening their eyes to the true charac-
ter and schemes of their otilcious Radi-
cal friends. In spite of the Bureau
and the fanatical agent of Equal Rights
Association, so-called, they are learn
ing from bitter experience to discrimi
nate between mercenary friendship of
the Radicals and the kind regard Of
their white neighbors and friends ofthe
South. Should the right of suffrage
be extended to the freedmen, therefore,
there need be no doubt how majority
of them, including especially the indus
trious and intelligent, would vote.

of two dollars on every male and one
dollar on every female, upon pretence
that upon payment of such sums they
will be exempt from all further taxation

to have collected about three thousand
dollars out of the deluded darkies.

How Brother Sam Williams Re-
ceived q Northern Missionary.

HOW BrOCner sam Williams Ice.
ceived Northern Missionary.
The Memphis Avalanche gives full
account in words following, to-wit:
An abolition wilmer of the Plymouth
Rock stock and John Brown school,
came down here a few weeks since to
illumine the dark understanding Of be.
nighted Africa. He very cordially in.
troduced himself and Mission to Broth.
or Sam Williams, and then generously
begged Of Brother Williams the pecll.
liar felicity Of bunking with him on
Saturday night. Sam who is an intel
ligent colored preacher of the Meth
odist faith, gravely informed his Pur.
tanic majesty that Mr. Sniff had a tav-
crn for white gemmcn; dat down here
white folks stay to darself, and darfore
nigger stay to his self, darfore you can't
camp wild me, massa." Sunday morn.
ing the white parson walked up to the
Methodist church, where brudder Sam
was acting in the honorable capacity of
sexton, when Mr.. Malgamation told
him that he wanted the use of that house
that day.
Sam simply and briefly remarked:
Cant get it."
"Why, aint the house as much yours
as any white man's?"
"No, sir; we niggers never paid a
cent to build it; the white folks very
kindly allow us to worship at three
O'Clock.
This preacher of Abolitionism left,
but returned at three o'clock, when Sam
was in the pulpit, harranging the BIRTH
erin. He did not invite his white broth
er into the pulpit. When Sam had
closed cXortation, the peddler in the
gospel walked forward, and drawing
out book proposed to all present to
come up and sign their names and join
the Northern church, that they owed
every thing that was dear to man to the
Northern army, who had bravely per.
lied their all to secure freedom, etc.
The black folks all looked at Brudder
Sam: He was sufficient for the trying
emergency! Walking forward, and
standing close by the side Of cd Puri-
tan, he said:
"Bruden, if we ever got any lijen, we
got it here if eber we joyed lien, we
ioyed it here; if cher we had any home,
we got it here five eber had any friend,
we got 'cm here. For my part wants
to 60 to meetin sometimes, and if we
jines the Northern church, my bruden,
we can't neber git to 60 to meetin. It's
too far from home. For my part was
borned here, raised here, and bress
God, l is gwine to die here, and be
buried here. Bruden, de Scriptures
say mark dem wot comes to you in
sleeps glowing, but within are raving
wolves; look to de Lord and git your
bcnediction. Go home"
