Dear Sir: 1 have examined year Stomach Bit
tiers carefully, and find it what you represent il
TO be. The high order which the ingredents
going into it take in the MAteria Mediea, as we'll
as the most happy prOp0rtioned combination OF
substances, make your Bitters fat superior tGany
similar preparation in the country The fact
thatyou use only the purest Bourbon Whisky
must necessarily recommend your Bitters in
another point, especially as far as wholesome
ness and palatability are taken into consdera-
ton. was well pleased 10 see in your estab-
hshment the process of manufacturing your
Bitters carried on by way Of displacement, which
not only gives you a better product, but also
recommends itself by clearer operation.

Ep. DEAocR4r:
On Saturday evening last the long
looked for and much-needed rain came
down here ID torrents, and ever since, Up
70 this morning, we have had the juciest
kind OF weather, until the tons of dust in
our streets have been changed TO pulpy
mud, cad men seem to devots ail their
energies 70 carrying umbrellas. When l
said much needed rain" spoke from q
feeling Of most purely disin.eresied SYM
pathy ioI tbe rural districts. We, in the
city with Lake Michigan to supply US, ere
quito independent, but out il tho country
both people and stock have suffered sadly.
immense quantities Of water have been
shipped cut OF the city, on nearly all the
railroads, during the dry season. Down
at Contralia { big business was done for
some time at shipping water, and even
here in cur own vicinity, people have
come in as much as three miles 10 tie city
limits, to haul water for culinary purpo-
ses. In the "Western Reserve" of Ohio,
it is said, that during the recent season of
drought, farmers, unable to keep their
immense herds of sheep, offered them for
sale at as low as 20 cents per head, with
no buyers Well, Heaven be thanked,
the rain has come at last, and the town
may we'll bear the trihing inconvenience
which attend this great benefit to tho
country.
When every other subject for sensation
fails, Chicago has one unfailing resource,
her divorce suits. Talk of Indiana, why,
she IS prosy, conservative, old fashioned,
slow and stupid in her divorce business
thai n which she has acquired her great
est fame. Indiana grants divorce
quickly p Yes grant that; but can
sic beat our own liberty loving Chicago,
in which il has been known that divorce
was applied FOR, granted and the woman
married again, all inside OF two hours,
half Of which time the court occupied in
getting its dinner? Thon again, outside
of the mere question of speed, Indiana is
inartistic. She fails 10 develop properly
the sensational features Of cases. and to
originate novelties. All. how infinitely
in this respect does she fall below Chicago.
Just now Chicago glories in a peculiarly
'revol;iag aud Disgusting expose.
