a Dangerous Season.

An almost unparalleled quantity of rain has fall
en- during the Summer. Vegetation has been
wonderfully thick and rank, and, as 1t decays an
unusual amount of sickness may be expected I'M
less proper means are taken to prevent 1t.
Fever and ague and bilious remittents already
prevail TO an alarming extent, rnd as the Fall
advances and the malarious night fogs become
heavier, the sick list is likely to increase both in
In the city and the country. 1t is, therefore, only
an act of common prudence to keep the vital forces
in full vgor, SO that they may resist the unhealthy
influences of the season. Reinforced by the tonic
operation OF HOSTETTEltS STOMACH BIT
TIERS, the system, however weak and susceptible
naturally, will in nine cases out of ten successfully
combat every species of atmospheric poison by
which epidemics are produced.
During the months of September, October and
November, the difference in temperature between
day and night is very great, and the chilling dews
and mists Of the season are the prolific causes OF
Indigestion cholera -morbus, diarrhea, and dysen-
terry. Bearing this In mind, remember, also, that
the BIITERS not only lnvigorrte the stomach and
brace the nerves, but act specifically upon the
bowels and the liver imparting to those important
organs regularity and tone. 1t is not reasonable
to expect immunity from prevalent complaints II
no precautions are taken to escape them.
HOSTETTER'S BITTERS are at once pleasant
to the taste and the most certain OF all safeguards
against febrile ailments. -

The Rannie-snA New Southern
Staple.
From the Norfolk (va.) Journal.

From the Norfolk (Va.) journal.
We have been shown specimen OF this
new Southern staple, which is said to be
superior in productiveness to cotton, and
to both cotton and flax as textile. 1t was
introduced into America from the Island OF
Java by Don Benito Roezl, the Austro-
Belgian botanist, and brought by him to
Havana and New Orleans in 1867. The
fibre of the plant is purely white, and OF
silky appearance--fner than any Gotten
or flax linen, and stronger. In warm
latitude the plant is hardy and vigorous.
The crops are taken, like those of cane, by
cutting it at the ground. From the rat
toons spring new growth, more vigorous,
| it is said, than the former. In Louisiana,
| Middle and Lower Mississippi, Alabama,
| Texas, Georgia, Florida, and South Caro-
| lima, three or four cuttings may be OBJ
tanned during the year. It is best adapted
to rich, sandy growth, and is planted by
| cuttings of roots or stalks, or by layers
| When well rooted it will yield about 800
pounds of the fibre to the acre, and ha.
been sold In England at sixty-five cents 6
