PrrTsBURaH, September 4, 1866.
Messrs. Hostetter & Smith,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
GENTS: think am only doing the part Of good
citizen when testify to the great benefits received by
from tho use of your Stomach Bitters during the
last five years. Sojourning for time in the oil regions
in 1851 had bilious attack, which, in connec
ton with dyspepsia, left me in very weak condition
advised to try your Btters, and, having procured
bottle, found that they worked like charm upon me-
eight pounds having been added to my weight in the
space of one week. and Life seemed 70 baye been In
fused into my SYSTEM SO much 3d. that have been in
duced to them every summer since cha: time. As
tonic, think they are Invaluable.
This summer, having had similar attack land be-
FORE much reduced although under the treatment Of
No. physician, was again obliged to have re-
course to the old Bitters, and with the good
suit, having gained six pounds within few days.
purchased half dozen bottles few weeks since, and
purpose to use them regularly as q tonic.
Wishing you every success remain
Yours, gratefully,

CHaNoNs.-The inhabitants Of our sister city OF
Augusta are rejoicing in the exhibition of q child
born with natural waterfall We presume that
this tusus nature will be considered by the
fashionables Of Augusta as proof conclusive that
waterfalls are recognized institutions, and will
effectually put an end to the controvel "Nout
gregarines. The ladies can now wear their nater-
falls with impunty, and can sport larger, longer,
higher, and more imposing head dresses than be-
fore this discovery was made. Chignons have at
length been recognized as natural production,
and whatever future discoveries the German
sayants may make, their theories will be at once
exploded by pointing triumphantly to this Georgia
waterfall. This freak Of nature must be peculiarly
gratifying to the fair wearers of chignons, not
only in Augusta, but in Charleston and wherever
waterfalls abound. Georgia has proved herself to
be the Empire State, and has added to her laurels
by this production; but We hope that South Caro-
lima will not long be without similar well
authenticated genuine chignon, and if we are un-
able to equal our sister State, the Georgians will
have to bring the curiosity across the line and by
exhibiting it in this city, satisfy all cavilers that
waterfalls are natural productions, and not to be
discarded because of pretended microscopic dis
coyerieS

TIE RUss1AN-AMER1oAN TELEGRAPH, we re-
gret to see from our Northern exchanges, has
been abandoned. It was one of the greatest pro-
jects ever unde, taken, and found general favor
because Of It's novelty, difficulty and magnitude.
It aimed to connect the old Continent and the now
by an overland route, having only the small dis
tance at Behring's Straits to span with subma-
rine wire. The reason of it's abandonment, it is
stated, is the great success of the Atlantic Cable
As speculation, therefore, it is abandoned, be-
cause likely not to pay; but the company urge
upon Russia and the United States the Importance
of haying such q line of communication, and sug-
gests that the two Governments ought to take the
line in hand and carry it through.

HORSE PowER.-It is a curious fact that the CO
pacity Of steam engines has always been determin-
ed by comparing them with the strength OF the
horse. This has been principally because this
animal was long the only motive power that man,
possessed, and his qualities, capacities &C., were
so well known that even when science had devel-
oped in steam new and more powerful element,
it WAS customary to compare it to that which had
been discarded. Steam once introduced, was soon
applied to all labor-sayng machines, and the horse
and his colaborers, the mule and OK, were allowed
to retire to private life except in few localities
where their labor was still turned to some account.
In this city there are some places where this pow
ar is used still to propel machinery. On Atlantic
Wharf there is small mill, at the wood yard OF
Messrs. KING & VENNNa worked by a horse that
cuts the fire wood into the required lcngths with
far greater ease than the labored efforts Of
farmer The horse is confined in narrow box or
stall, the floor Of which is on movable rollers and
the slope causing the horse to be continually step
ping forward on the same principal az tread mill.
A band connects the saw with this platform, and
the motion once impaired, the horse keeps on his
weary round until the breaks are again applied.

CHINA BR1AR.-This is one Of our Southern plants
that is to be found in nearly every forest cling
ing to the trees and often presenting an impossible
barrier to the traveller. It is parasite, usually
seen in low swampy places where the vines grow
luxuriantly, often covering, and sometimes killing,
the trees to which they cling. This plant has never
been considered Of any use, and was killed when
ever it obtruded itself upon cultivated spot Of
land; but, though so generally despised, the China
Briar is not without few redeeming points. The
tender shoots it puts forth in the early spring are
eagerly sought for by the market women, and
when put up in small bundles command a ready
sale. In fact, they approximate asparagus, and
are considered by many to be even superior to that
plant. As the China Briar grows wild, an excel
lent dish can be obtained by any one who will
take the trouble to Gull the shoots, or will brave
the thorns in the attempt. Those who have
neither the time nor the desire for such adven-
tures will be pleased to learn that it can be bought
at any of the vegetable stalls in the market, and
if they have never tasted it, they should try the
experiment while the shoots are young and tender.

present with these enterprises, and many persons
who are induced to invest in them, tind to their
sorrow that they are airy nothings and exist only
on paper. Flaming circulars are issued setting
forth the advantages to be gained by purchasing
ticket in these lotteries the prizes far out-num-
ber the blanks and in some cases the holders OF
each ticket are promiseda small amount on their
investment
The plan usually pursued by these lottery agents
is to send circulars enclosing tickets which are cer
tain to draw prizes, and they ask the recipients to
mention their good luck, and so induce others to
invest During the war, these bogus lotteries
we're established in various parts Of the country,
and by appealing to tho speculative spirit of the
times proved, in most instances, paying successes
Unfortunately it was fo',nd so easy to dupe man
kind that the proprietors have continued their vo-
cation, and though the ticket sales are perhaps
not 80 numerous as formerly, yet there are many
who are foolish enough to try their luck and waste
their money on a worthless piece Of paper.
It has been found impossible to suppress these
associat tions, as they generally continue to keep
beyond the reach of the law, and their victims
have no redress but have to bear their losses with
forttude Several parties in this city have recent
ly been bit by purchasing these tickets, ana "neh
they have drawn prize they are cooly told by let
ter that if they send en- an additional sum the
whole amount drawn might probably be secured
for them.
The rascality Of such transactions is evldent'
and there appears to be no means OF detecting the
principals. Occasionally raid is made upon some
of these lottery agencies 5y the Northern pohce'
but beyond few chairs and IN old table, nothing
can be discovered to impicate the parties
It has been noticed that when lotteries are legal
Unauthorized institutions, and subject to the laws
Of. the State, there is less chance for the bogus
concerns to flourish The Havana Lottery has
paid large revenue to the government since it
was established, and the same good result will fol-
low State company. Man will always endeavor
to make money by the fastest means possible and
IT. ia useless to restrict the circulation OF lottery
tickets; they will be bought, and legallzed otte'
~ will guarantee the holders that even it they &c
not draw prize they have not beon cheated ou'
. of their money.
