FLArULENcY.-The most common
cause OF this difficulty is Indigestion. When
the natural fluids of the stomach are secreted
in an unhealthy state, fermentation rapid
lytakes place, and the stomach and associated
yiscera become distended with gas, giving rise
to frequent eructation or belching. The guam
tity of gas thus accumulated is often enormous
The treatment for this disorder should be care

nse Roback,s Bitters and Blood Pills the same

I,fPoRrANr DECISION By THE y.

IMPORTANT DECISION BIZ THE y. y
SUPREME CoURTThe following de-
cision was pronounced by the United
States Supreme Court recently IN the
liquor and lottery cases
The United States vs.. Vassar, and
the same VS.. Croft, from New York;
United States VS.. Green, and four
other cases from New Jersey j; United
States VS.. Swain, from Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Chief Justice Chase read the
opinion of the court in these cases,
holding that neither a license under
the act Of 1864, nor special tax I'M
der the act of 1866, confers upon the
party licensed, or who pays the tax,
authority to carry on the licensed
business contrary to the laws of a
State. There is no conflict of law in
the premises, the act Of Congress pro-
viding for the federal taxation of a
business not being inconsistent with
the right of a State to tax and reg
ulate such business carried on within
its limits. Hence parties in the State
of New York in one case claiming the
right to sell lottery tickets contrary
to the laws of the State, by virtue of 8
license from the Federal Government
and parties claiming the right to sell il
another case without paying the fed
eral tax of one hundred dollars, be
cause State law forbids the business
are both in error; and so in respect t.
parties claiming the same rights il
| New Jersey, and parties claiming tn
right to sell liquor in Massachusetts
Judgments accordingly. One opinion
| decides all the cases. A dissenting
opinion was read.

Boiling on the part of members
of the Indiana Legislature is so fire.
quent when the minority wishes to de
feat any obnoxious measure, that it is
proposed to pass law to make 'bolt.
ing" misdemeanor, punishable by
$1,000 fine. The majority, who are
thus anxious to keep their runaway
brother legislators at work, are rather
puzzled how to get their proposed law
on the statute books, as the minority
continue to "bolt' whenever it is
brought up for action. Boiling is
familiar to all legislative bodies, and
last year the Governor of Tennessee
was kept busy during an entire ses-
sion capturing runaway lawmakers, a
new set of "bolters" scampering off
from Nashville as soon as the old set
were caught. Perhaps the best way to
prevent "bolting' is for majorities to
remember that minorities in this free
country have some rights left, and do
not wish all legislation to be obnox-
ious to them

On Monday evening last, a gentleman (Nir

in other words sitting up" in the immedi-
ate neighborhood of Oxford, and sometime
after the family had retired. in removing the
lamp from its position, by some unaccounts-
bic reason ii fell to the floor and was broken,
the burning oil scattering freely over the
carpet. They both being endowed with
great presence of mind, undertook TO exlin
guish it with FRI, eslie's Illustrated, the
lVduericy. the UA.urd Press and several
other leading journals of the day, and We are
nappy to say they at last succeeded in their
designs, hut not until several yards of car
peting was destroyed, along with all the late
papers, Luckily the young lady was unn-
jured, but for the gentleman we cannot say
as he left Immediately after and we have had
no tidings of him since. Query, will he
ever come back?) We hope this will be
solemn warning to other young men placed
in similar circumstances, not TO disturb The
lamp unless there is pleanty of paper lying
around Oxford Press.
