is made of iron. Ideas are abund-

full in stocking and ornamenting

outside and in the Capitol, which

course, the Senate and Representa-

for dissipated young men, but they
convey no idea of grandeur what

gives the finish a cobwebby look,
and the coloring being a mixture OF
dirty yellow and green and the
whole being gloomily lighted-the
two rooms present messy cavern

the building is taken up with all
sorts of rooms, dens, coyote holes,

of reptiles on two legs worm round

SPECIAL NOTICES.
How HOStetter'S BitterS cure
DYSDeDSia.

THE WHOLE STORY IN A NUTSHELL.
The office of the stomach is to convert the
food into cream-like semifuid, called CHYME.
This is effected partly by the action of solvent
called the gastric juice, which excludes from the
coating of the stomach, and partly by mechan-
ical movement of that organ, which ehllrnS, as it
were the dissOlving ahment. The CHYSGE passes
from the stomach into the duodenum, or en-.
trance to the bowels, where it is subjected to
the action Of the bile, and the nutritious portion
OF it converted into fluid called CLyLc, which
eventually becomes blood.
Now, it is evident that if the great solvent,
the gastric juice, is not produced in sufficient
quantity, or if the mechanical action of the
stomach is not sufficiently brisk, the first process
Of digestion will be but imperfectly performed.
1t is also clear that if the liver which plays
such an important part in changing tho nOur.
ishing portion of tho chyme into the material of
the blood is COngested, or in any unnatural
condition, the second process will not be thor
ou=hly accomplished. The result OF the ttr0
failures is igSpcpSiG, complicated with JVtOUSReSl.
The mode in which HOSTEErERS BIT
TIERS operate in such cases is this they invig.
crate the cellular membrane of the stomach,
which evolves the gastric Juice, thereby lnsur.

nerves Of the stomach, causing an aGcelGratiOn
of the mechanical movement necessary to re-
duce the food TO homogeneous mass. They
also act specifically upon the liver, strengthen.
ing it and so enabling it TO produce an ample
and regular supply of bile, for the purpose of
converting the nutritious particles of the Chyms
into Chyle, and promote the passage through
the bowels of the useless debris

How Grant Got Caught.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times tells the following
story: General Grant learned the fol-
ly of cheap recommendations during
the war by sad experience. General
Hillyer relates that shortly after the
fall of Vickburg a surgeon of an Illinois
regiment, who had won his (Hillyer's)
affections by some means, complained
to him of the unpleasantness of non
cOmbatant's position to man OF pecu-
liarly belligeront disposition like him.
self, and requested him as favor to
recommend him for some position where
he could do little fighting. HillyerI
was delighted Mt the opportunity to re,
commend such fighting doctor, and at
the further suggestion and request OF
the surgeon promised to get General
Grants signature to the same. And
did. too, General Grant saying, Il do
this, Hillyer, on your recommendation;
Won know all about the MANI The as
surance was given, and the signature
was appended. Nothing was heard OF
the matter again until General Grant
came East, and was in want OF few
General officers. On his application
Mr.. Stanton sent him among others,
BriCader General -, the former sur
geon. Grant soon found he could not
drill regiment, and with considerable
feeling demanded of Mr. Stanton, to
know why he had sent such a man. Mr..
Stanton in reply, showed the recon-
mendation signed U. S. Grant. There
could be no reply, and much mortified
Grant turned away. Since that time
Recommendations have meant more to
him than ever"

PENALTY Of too Much Brain-work.

DR. Parker, of New York, delivered a
leoture short time ago, in that city, in
which he showed the evils proceeding
from the transgression of the limits of
their physical powers by literary men.
He said:
"No man can do head work faithfully
for more than four or five or six hours.
If that time is exceeded, all the phos-
phorus is carried off, and the man be-
comes irritable, broken down, and has
softening of the brain. have seen this
over-work in lawyers, doctors, clergy
men and merchants who have worked
the brain for ten hours. They have
dropped under the burden. You cannot
violate the law of God with impunity.
Sir Walter Scott did large amount OF
brain-work in his day, but he did not
ever-work himself In his latter days,
however, he became peeuniarily embar-
raised and res0rted to his literary pur-
suits to save himself; but he worked too
hard and completely broke himself
down. One of the best scholars ever
knew broke himself down in his young
or days, but he lived on to seventy,
though he could only work some four
hours a day. After these hours he en-
gagged in vigorous exercises to keep MN
out of the house as much as pessib bic, and
he continued one of the best professors
| in the country"

A New story About Mr.. Greeley

The Rochester Express says that 9
gentleman who happened to be an eye
witness, tells the following good story
about Mr.. Greeley, which has never be-
fore been in print; Mr.. Greeley has
never been accused of extravaganza in
dress even by the Democrats. One morn
ing, some years ago, habited in his
usual quaint style, he was leaning over
the counter in the Tribune Office eating
an apple, when an Englishman entered
who had that morning arrived by
steamer, and who, it turned ont, was
connected with the London Times, and
had come to arrange some business be-
tween that paper and the Tribune.
Approaching Mr.. Greeley with avery
arrogant air, he said:
"FellOw, do you work here !"
eyes, sir"
"Is Mr.. Greeley in"
Eyes, sir"
After waiting little, and seeing that
the fellow seemed very Indifferent to his
presence and inquiries, he burst out al
most choked with Indignation:
"Uell, trhy the deril don't you go ana
fetch him INF"
az am Mr.. Greeley, at your service,
was answered in the same calm and in
different manner.
Johnny Bulls hat was removed from
his head with alacrity. and when our
friend left, he was stammering his con-
fused apologies to the chief of the Tri.
bHne.

A Sad and Peculiar Breaking up Of n
Family.


An elderly looking woman was found
weeping at the depot on Saturday. The
substance of her story, told to the depot
officers was this: A week ago, she, her
husband and two daughters, left Lock
port, Erie county, Pennsylvania, (their
home) to 60 to Missouri, where they
have friends residing-thinking to bet
ter their condition. At Erie, the hus-
band got beastly drunk. They all got
aboard of the train, however, but before
they started the two girls deserted their
father and mother, and the train came
on without them. At Girard the drunk
en- husband also got of and was seen 10
more, leaving the poor woman TO go on
alone. When she arrived here she got
off to wait for the coming of her daugh-
tiers, who she supposed had been left by
accident at Erie. She waited in the sit
ting room air day, but the missing ones
came not. That evening she took the
accommodation and returned TO Erie,
where she spent the next day i'll look
ing for her children. Not being able to
obtain any trace of them she finally
gave up in despair, and started West
again. At this point her money gave
out, and she had nothing but through
ticket. Several gentlemen who heard
her story generously contributed purse
ofSl5, and she took the westward bound
train Saturday eveniDg.-CteretGRd

APuzzled Yankee.

Jinks tells good story of man on
a Mississippi steamer who was question
ed by a Yankee. The gentleman, to
humor the fellow, replied to all the ques-
tions straightforwardly, until the in

rogatory. At last he inquired: Look
