We Live in ,rhrce Climates.

In this country We have at different seasons OF
the year, the temperature of three climates. Our
Strings and Autuunns have a sOftness and mildness
that belong only to the Temperate Zones; our Mid
summers are torrid. aud our BIid-winters almost
arctic in their frgidity These changes, involving
variation of from 30 to 100 degrees of Fahrenheit
during the year, are upon the whole conducive to
health and long life; but they tend to entail upon
us some distressing complaints which can only be
escaped by the exercise of due and the use OF
proper antdote when the system is pre-disposed to
contract them The chief and most annoying OF
these disorders is dyspepsia, once supposed to be
ipcurable. but which, since the Introduction OF
HOsTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERs, now about
% wears ago, has proved to be perfectly manage
able disease.
In the Spring and Fall but more especially II
the Fall, the symptoms Of dyspepsia are generally
aggravated. The profuse expenditure OF the am
NAL fluids under the burning sun Of Summer, Is
ant to leave the stomach weak and INDECENT and
incompetent to the task of perfect digestion 1t
requires tonic which will rouse it from its eth'
arov. and brace and inyigorate without Irritating
or ipaaming it. This tonic has been provided il
the wonderful vegetable preparation which has re-
rloced in great measure, all the old palliatives
formerly prescribed by physicians, under the false
idea that the disorder could not be radically cured
The success of HOsTETTER's BITTERs in all th'
varieties OF dyspepsia, acute chronic, has effect
uauy exploded this fallacy, and it is now recon-
nended as a specific for indigestion by some OF th'
most eminent members of the medical profession

THE NATIONAL DEBr.

What is the true condition of our debt
Perhaps Messrs Boutwell, and Delano are
GOOD witnesses. By the November state
mcnt the total debt is 81, 4GS, 495, O72 II,
and the floating debt is as much again
In the Forticth Congress the following dc
bate occurred:
Mr. Delano. Our nation now grOans
with the weight of public debts and nee
essary taxation, and our credit must be
maintained. | know that there are now
floating claims against this nation, not
less in amount than $4,000, 600, 600, ac-
cording to my estimate; and these claims,
if admitted at all, viii never be settled
with less than $4,000, 000,0 900. ! do not
bqlieve they will be settled for that.
Mr.. Boutwell, Win the gentleman let
me ask him a question
Mr.. Delano Certainly, sir.
Mr.. Boutwell,. | would ask the gen
tIeinan whether, when he refers to this
floating debt, which cannot be hqmdated
without an expenditure of 1000, 600,
600. he refers to claims that may be
brought by persons in the eleven states

Mr. Delano. refer only to claims OF
loydi persons.
Mr.. Boutwell,. would ask him
whether he includes claims that may be

WHEAT RADICAL RUEE PRODEr
esEG.

The condition of South Carolina is a
practical commentary on Radical rule in
fine South. Gov. Scott has issued proc
lamation declaring that the county OF
Sumter. in that State, is infested by bands
of lawless and unprincipled men, who,
under pretext of suppressing Illicit traffic
in cotton, have wilfully and maliciously
SET fire TO and consumed the storehouses
of citizens, and openly ayow their de-
termination of perpetrating similar out
RACES upon the property of others, unless
tbc threatening notices served upon them
are promptly obeyed; these parties are
regularly organized, and armed and
mounted. and. disguised in fantastic cos
tunes, prowl about al night in bodies too
strong to be confronted Or arrested by the
neace officers OF the county. The Govern

officers and citizens To he yigilant in sup
prcssipc these despcTadOCs. lie says,
also. that he has summoned the armed
,,oIice of the State to the aid of the Off

The ballot in this State, affairs have set
tied down into the quiet and order which
prevailed before the war This factshows
that there was cause for the disturbed
condition which characterized The
State under the BroWnlow regime, and
that cause is traced directly TO Radical
rule. The parlisans of that faction which
usuncd mower in this State, as in the
other Southern States, were themselves
law breakers and their partisans followed
the example they set. Radical rule in
this State was the reign Of outlaws. and
now that they have been driven from
place and power, we have one of the most
peaceable States in the Union. When

ANOTHER relative of the Grant family

IT is stated that the government print
inc Office at Washington is so far behind
with the public printing, that AN order has
been issued, requiring the employees TO
work three additional hours each day.
One reason for this delay in executing the
work is that the head of that department
has been trying 10 force negro printers
into the establishment, which has been re-
sisted by the white employees, and this has
greatly deranged and delayed the work.
Another reason is, that the Office has been
made a political machine, from which
Democrats are excluded. Had the super
iutcndcnt paid more attention to his work,
and less to the negro and politics, he would
not have been SO far behind with the pub
he printing.

The little Giant of Illinois with bis /
warm impulses very naturally had some
as devoted adherents as any public man
of our country. Many of them still re
card his memory with the greatest reTer-
cace and believe his defeat in 1860 was |
the prime cause of all of our troubles
within the past few years. We find in !
the Illinois State Register a very graphic |
account of Judge Douglas in his youth, |
which we are sure win prove interesting
to his admirers. -
Stephen A. Douglas first came TO RESIDE
in Springfield, III, some time in April,
1887. lie had already served one term in
the Legislature, and had then been re-

REGISTER of the Land Office of that place
At the date above mentioned he was
little active, why fellow, about five feet
and not weighing more than ITO pounds.
He had a beardiess, boyish face, dark put
ustrous eyes, short, thick neck, square
shoulders, and large, round, bushy head
which somehow seemed much dispropor-
TONED TO the size of his frame. lie
dressed plainly and rather slovenly, Tor
his wardrobe was scanty, and finances at
/ a low ebb. Altogether he presented quite
youthful, and, at first view, unprepos-
d
sessing appearance. But he was uneonl-
monty ouiek and yivacious in conyersa
tom and had an exuberant flow OF ANNA
shirts, which rendered him a delightful
companion. Of peculiarly social turn'
ba soon made the acquaintance and won
| the heart of every citizen of the town;
and. what is more, like Themistocles OF
| Athens he knew them all by name. lie
attended all tie local political gatherings
was present at all the village froIcs, aud
took part in all manly pastimes OF the
day. He is said to have been especially
fond of wrestling, and could throw man
of twice his weight. He paid asslduous
court TO the elderly danes, and danced
| with their young and interesting daugh-
tiers; but in threading the may meshes OF
Terpsichore he never was considered an
expert.
| He went about with his pockets
crammed with newspapers, pamphlets and
other political documents, and when
called upon for speech was ever ready
If an opponent was to be demolished
there was no man so competent to the
task. and he always carried the record
with him to substantiate whatever charge
he made. lie was gifted in rare degree
with those peculiar qualities Of head and
heart which secure to their possessor the
ascendancy and the leadership in all mat
ters of public concern. Even at that
, early period of his fortunes, his Demo

of political wisdom, consulted him as they
would an oracle, and predicted for him
high destiny. But the more aspiring

THE Cuban insurgents are reported TO
have expressed a determination to destroy
the cane fields on the island, and thus
ruin the sugar crop. They may not be
able to carry this threat fully into eXecu-
ton, but they have it in their power 20
do immense damage to the sugar trade OF
Cuba. The chief cane-growing regions
are in their possession, and it is thought
that with The aid of The negroes, who are
their allies, they can destroy the fields
