is wisely provided by the human economy that
whenever anything Is wrong in the physical sys-
TEN the natural forces of the body are brought to
bear to expel the disease. The great aim, there
fore is 10 strengthen the natural powers. This
has been kept i'm view by the skillful compounders
of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, which
operates TO give fresh vitality to all the organs of
the body. The effect of this medicine upon the
stomach, the liver and the kidneys, is prompt and
decisive. The patient. who is WISE enough TO quit
dragging and try the BITTERS, soon feels as II
he had taken new lease of life and as he contin-
the use OF the article, he is overjoyed TO find
the streams Of health coursing through his frame.

Mark Twain on Female Suffrage.

"Mark Twain writes to Ihis "Cousin
Jennie" on the subject of "Female Suf-
frage," as follows:
There is one insuperable obstacle in the
way of female suffrage, Jennie; l ap-
proach the subject with fear and trembling,
but it must out. A woman would never
vote, because she would have to tell her
age at the polls. And even if she did dare
to vote once or twice when she was just
of age, you know what dire results would
flow from putting this and that together p"
in after times. For instance, in an I'M
guarded moment, Miss A. says she voted
for Mr.. Smith. Her auditor, who knows
that it has been seven years since Smith
ran for anything, easily ciphers out that
she is at least seven years over age, instead
of the young pullet she has been making
herself out to be. No, Jennie, this new
fashion of registering the name, age, res
idence and occupation of every voter is a
| fatal bar to female suffrage.
Women will never be permitted to vote
or hold Office, Jennie, and it is lucky
thing for me, and for many other men
that such is the decree of fate. Because
you see, there are some few measures they
would all unite on-there are one or two
measures that would bring out their entir'
voting strength, in spite of their antipath,

Votes of thanks were returned to the
officers of the Convention, and to the for
mer National Committee, after which the
Convention adjourned, to meet at the call
of the National Executive Committee.
The attendance upon the Convention
| was very large, and the utmost harmony,
good feeling and enthusiasm prevailed
during the entire proceedings, both among
the delegates and outsiders. Speaking of
the scenes outside on the second day of the
Convention, a Chicago daily says:
"All day long, from ten in the morning
until the Convention adjourned in the
afternoon, Washington street, between
State and Dearborn, was filled with
crowds of anxious people waiting
impatiently for news from within.
and those holding tickets, at fifteen
minutes to 10 o'clock, but some time be-
fore that the policemen on guard had
great difficulty in keeping back the crowd.
There was a greater rush and evidently
much more excitement than on Wednes-
day, the faces of the visitors for the most
part new, as were the tickets.
"When the announcement was made
at 1925 p. m. that General Logan has
just now nominated General Grant, the
Galena tanner, for the Presidency three
rousing cheers were given by the assem-
blage below, which was taken up by the
knots of people standing en- each side of
the street, and for several moments every
man, with hat in hand, expressed the pent-
up feeling of his heart in the words, 'Hur-
rah for Granti Hurrah for Grant,
"During the prevalence of enthusiasm
in front of the Opera House, and subse-
quent to the announcement of the nominal
ton Of General Grant, a fen de joie of one
hundred guns was fired i'm honor of the
great national event, on the open space at
the foot of Randolph street. The deep,
laundering peals, as they emanated from
the mouth of the cannon and rolled in
echoing conclusions through the air, preg-
nant with the enthusiastic shouts of the
concourse, they could not, but add to the
ardor of the scene. After every note
belched forth by the artillery, shouts would
go up from the multitude, and such express
sions as "There's another in the ribs of the
Cops" and-from some veteran yet dusty
and begrimed with the tolls of war-"That
sounds something like it," would be in
obliged in. The salute was fired at inter-
walls Of two or three minutes"
Three large ratification mass meetings
were held in Chicago in the evening, at
which the lnbounded enthusiasm of the
people over the nominations was made
fully manifest. And so throughout the
country, the ticket and platform are re-
ceived by the people with enthusiastic
demonstrations of heartfelt satisfaction.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1868-05-28

Changes were then made on the votes
cast for other candidates, and Mr.. Colfax
received the entire vote, and was declared
the unanimous choice of the Convention.
Three cheers for the entire ticket were
given with the entire strength of lungs Of
the Convention, which, to q man, rose to
their feet, and hats and handkerchiefs
waved as each cheer rent the air.
A dispatch from the Hon Schuyler Col
fax to the Hon. j. B. Dufrees, of Indiana,
was then read by the Chair, as follows !:
read this mQyning to General Grant
the midnight dispatch giving an abstract
ofthe platform, and General Grant heartily
approves its tone" Applause.
A motion was adopted that the officers
of the Convention constitute a committee
to communicate to the candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-Prcsident their nomination
by the Convention, and also the platform
and proceedings of the Convention.

but her back was scarce turned before he
had sucked blood enough for week, and
stuffed himself so that he couldn't stir.
So when she came again in the morning,
there Reynard lay, and snored, and slept
in the morning sun, with all four legs
stretched straight; and he was as sleek and
round as German sausage.
Away ran the lassie for the goody, and
she came, and all the lassies with her, with
sticks and brooms to beat Reynard; and,
to tell the truth, they nearly banged the
life out of him; but, just as ii was almost
all over with him, and he thought his last
hour was come, he found a hole in the
floor, and so he crept out, and limped and
hobbled off to the wood
