HENRY WARD BEEcHRR IN A HEAT.
The Herald, of Saturday last, de-
votes three columns to the effects Of
the intense heat in that city, and in
cidentally tells the following amusing
anecdote of the great sensationist,
Henry Ward Beecher:
Given that brilliant and versatile
politician and preacher, Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, it is related, did not
disdain taking the cause of the ex-
altation of the mercury in the tube
as the text on which to found one of
his instructive semi-political dis
courses. Entering the pulpit on an
excruciatingly hot Sabbath morning.

usual, he slowly advanced to the
desk, the thumb and fore finger of

essayed to keep these at respecta-
BILE distance. e. the throat and the
collar-the 'sisterhood' seated before

their blushing, peach-like cheeks, he

soft, clear and yet resonant, tones, so
peculiar to him when wholly self-pos-
sessed, Brethren and sisters, it is
Id hot!'
"On the instant, the fans were sus-
pended in mid-air, and several OF the
'sistern' came near going into state
of coma or Mysteries, (Which is not
the same thing,) while the more
pious of the 'brethering,' with q cry
of horror, sprang to their feet, and

bodies. rippled as it fell to the floor

volume, as though they would wash
out forever the very emphatic adiec-
tive which the great apostle of Ply
mouth Church had just uttered. The
self-possessed teacher did not seem to
notice the state of CONSERVATION into
which he had thrown his audience, and
as, for the second time, he jerked at
tne nacld collar OF linen, he repeat

At meeting of the Fourth Ward Demo-
cratic Club, held this evening, commu-
nication from the Central Executive Com
mittee was received, recommending that
on the arrival ofour delegates from the
Democratic Convention, recently held in
New York. grand ratification meeting be
held to ratify the actionof the Convention;
which recommendation was concurred in,
and Mr.. j. G. Sutphen was appointed to
act with the general Committee of Ar
rangoments, of which Captain Mckenzie
is chairman; Messrs. We-fn, Kirk and
Purse a committee to prepare tranparen-
cies and torch-lights for the occasion, and
Messrs. O'Neil, Oliver and Cantwell a

Toombs and Howell Cobb Delighted
with the DcnOcrmtic Nominatinna

1oomns ana Howell Cobb Delighted
with the Democratic Nominations.
AT 8 o'clock, last evening, the
Democrats, according to previous
notice, held a popular meeting at
Davis Hall. The simple announce
ment that Robert Toombs and How
ell Cobb would address the meeting.
was oil sufficient to arouse the heart
OF the Democracy. When the popu-
lar favorites entered the hall, they
found at least 1000 white men
already there to greet the old cham
plons who led them in the past, and
they were greeted with a shout that
had In it the ''ring of the old metal. I"
The enthusiasm was unbounded.
When Mr.. Toombs arose to address
the assemblage, we can compare the
scene to nothing less than stupend
GUS camp meeting, where everybody
IS converted aud vieing with each
other to see who can shout the
loudest. MIR. Toombs arose. ma.
jestic as of yore, and entered at once
upon the one great subject which
had brought the party together-the
ratification of the New York nomi-
nees. The highest encomiums were
pronounced by the elegant speaker
upon the nominees-Seymour and
Blair. He had known them in the
past, and was willing to risk them in
the future. General Blair had dis
tinguished himself in the armies of
the country. True, he had fought
against the South in war; but he was
now an advocate for peace-peace
Tor the whole country. Radicalism,
the greatest criminal the world ever
saw, Is now on trial before the grand
inquest of the Democratic party.
Men of the South should fly to the
arms of Northern allies to assist in
crushing the viper out of existence.
Mr.. Toombs spoke only about twenty
minutes. His tone was much more
moderate than we expected it would
be, from what we had heard of his
usual style when addressing the
masses.
Mr.. Cobb's speech was more
lengthy. He made one of his happi-
est efforts, and addressed himself
more particularly to the political
issues now presented to the people
of Georgia. Grant and the Chicago
platform were scared with the fires
of his indignation. The election of
such q man, upon such set of
principles, would be the greatest
calamity that could possibly befall
the whole country. Members of the
Legislature were reminded that they
would soon be called upon to elect
men to represent Georgia in the
Senate of the United States. Would
they elect to that position q man
whose principles are in harmony
with those enunciated by the Chi
cago Convention? Would they elect
a man who is willing to confess that
q negro is equal to white man in
Georgia, but unequal to citizen of
Ohlo-a man who acknowledges his
own infamy to the white population
of the North? He advised them, by
oil means, to vote for any good
appointee of the Governor to any of
the judicial or other offices, but never
for man for anything who had
assisted in the building of the Chi
cago platform. Mr.. Cobb's speech
was received with enthusiastic cheer
Ing. He made some capital hits,
and we have not the slightest doubt
that more than one radical member
OF the Senate of Georgia went to bed

BitterS.

The human stomach seems to require tonic
stinalant From time whereof the memory OF
man runncth not to the contrary tonic bittcrs
have been used. Formerly men made their own
bitters, and few thought of eating breakfast
without first taking their "tansy." Those were
days, however, when prohibitory laws were I'M
known, and. in consequence, liquors were pure.
Dealers could then afford to be honest and sell
nothing but the unauthorized. Now, however,
what with government tax and court zines poke
berry Juice and alcohol mxst pass muster for
''Od rye" and "pure bourbon" People have
come to fear poisoning more than malarial dis
eases and dropped their "taIsy.' Right here is
where HOsTETTEI 4 SMITH, OF Pittsburgh, have
proven beucfactOrs. Years ago they commenced
the manufae turo of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS laying it down rs II rule that has
since been couscientiOusy followed to use moth
ing but the purest liquors manufactured eX-
preSsly for them. by strict adherence TO this
rule they have won public confidence aud reaped
their reward in large, profitable and steady
business. Their BITTERS is known all over
the country. They are the pioneers OF the bust
ness, and have the largest mandatory in the
world Nor has success in their case, as in too
many instances, rendered them careless; their

first distillation. We heartily recommend them
