SPECIAL NOTICES.
Undtfl ned Aim ents.

There are many ailments, trying in their nature
but the symptoms OF which are not sufficiently spe.
cifc to enable physician. to classify them under
any particular head. As general rule they arise
from general debility of the whole organization
but Their primary cause in at least three cases out OF
five is lack Of brisk vital action in the stomach and
liver. Stimulate and tone the relaxed digestive and
secretive organs, and bodily ease, health aud vigor
will follow the treatment Among all the medi-
zines which have been recommended as conductive
to this end, none has been administered with such
uniform and entire success as HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS.
Its ingredients were selected from the vegetable
kingdom, originally, with view 10 the inauguration
of the physique and the constitution, and also for
their anti-bilious and slightly laxative properties.
Twenty odd years of experience has proved that
these herbal restoratives were wisely chosen and
have been judciouSly apporionsd in this celebrated
preparation. Not only as specific for indigestion
and all kindred complaints, but as household
remedy for all the minor ailments incident to hu-
manity, it has obtained reputation based on unim-
peachable testimony, which fairly eclipses that of
any other proprietary or oficnaal medicine in use.

A Cool OPERAToR.-At Nashua, N. H., on
Saturday week, after the physicians in attend
ance upon Mr.. Brown, who had been hurt on
the railroad, had left for the night, man OF
respectable appearance appeared at the door of
the house and inquired for Mr.. Brown, intro
ducing himself as DR.. Hadley, of Boston. He
told Mrs. Brown that he had just come from
Ogdensburg, N Y, that day, and that DR..
Moore had requested him to come to the house
and stop during the night and be ready to as
sist IN the amputation in the morning, the
story was plausible, and he stopped. Late in
the evening he requested a cup of tea, which
was made Tor him, but he declined lunch, until
Mrs. Brown, happening to step into the dining
room, found him on a voyage of discovery
about the room, when he excused himself nv
saying he was looking for pie. Soon after he
went to bed, bat SO great was his fatigue that
ne forgot to take his boots off, and SILENT till
morning, when he arose and took breakfast

The doctors came in the forenoon, but moth
ing abashed, the great unknown STAYED in the
room, making suggestions and profferipg adj
vice with the utmost freedom. He PLAYED his
part so well that the M D. thought him a
friend of the family, and tolerated his COM
pany, although much annoyed by his imperti-
nence. He was trife too voluble, however.
and Mrs. Brown asked one of them if II wa.
necessary for him to stay in the room all the
time, and then his character came out. In the
evening he came back again, laid aside his
overcoat, and prepared for the nights cam
palgn, but Mrs. Brown quietly showed him the
door and he left.

EGYPT AND TURKEY.-Private but trust
worthy information has reached us that war
between Egypt and Turkey is almost inevita-
bic. We forbear to state our news with the
emphasis with which it had been impaired.
but we understand that, beyond the unusual
armament for which the Sultan had taken
him to task, the Viceroy's war preparations
are to the extent of many thousands of mus
kets, good part Of them purchased in this
country. The war will occur in face of the
frequent assurance that the good Offices of
the European Powers had brought about a
harmonious understanding between the Porte
and the Viceroy; but to those who have
watched the audacity, prodigality, and dupli-
city with which Ismael Pasha has pursued
an ambitious aim, the prediction that has
been made to US on warrant of facts cannot
be surprisingly. Y. Tribune.
That Ismael Pacha is DESTROYS of becoming
independent of the Ottaman Government is
plain; and that he would commence a war if
there was chance of being successful is also
true. He has been purchasing arms and war
ships, and the magnifcsnce with which he re-
ceived foreign potentates at the Suez canal
opening might be suspected to have been in
tended to impress Europe with the superiority
OF Egypt over Turkey. Russian influence. al
ways ready to promote any disturbance in the
domains OF the Porte, is said to be stirring
up the Khedive to rebellion. The firman of
1857 is claimed by Ismael Pacha to give him
exclusive control of our financial matters in
Egypt, and it is on this question that the
principal part of the present contention be-
tween the Viceroy and the Sultan i, taking
place; but there are plenty of other difficult
ties from which reason tor rebellion might
be drawn if the Khedive is inclined to 90 to
war. The general policy of Europe, howev

A NEW 1NDUsTRY.-The sumac Yields tan.
MIN for the curing of leather. Most of this is
Imported from Sicily via Liverpool, and it is
not an unusual occurrence for as much as 1900
bags to be shipped from the latter port in a
single day. This fact invites attention. The
sumac tree is a natural growth in the mild
climate OF Virginia, ard can be cultivated
with little expense on the waste lands of our
Northern States. Besides, analysis proves
that the American is from 10 to 20 per cent,
superior to the imported article. We ought
to supply our own demand and export thou
sands of bags of it yearly. We notice that
Virginia is doing something in this way, hav
ing manufactured 4, 100 tons this year, worth
$4,000 large produce from an unorganized
and shiftless industry which is of as little &C.
count as picking berries. The Richmond En-
quirer regards the sumac business as a great
moral engine in districts occupied by negroes
where, it says, when the sumac season begins
hog stealing ends.
