A~IT ISSAID THAT THE PROPRIErORS
Of the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERs rent no
less than niae pews from the different denomina-
items In New York City fer oil those Of their EN-.
ployees who will occupy them regularly, free Of
charge. This is certainly prasewerthy and it is to
be hoped that others who employ q large number Of
people will follow the example. The above fact &C.
companied with the belief that firm who would
look closely after the morals and welfare Of their
employees, would not undertake to impose upon the
publie, has induced to give the PLANTATION
BTTTERs trial, and having found them to be all
that is represented cordially recommend them as
q tonic Of rare merit-Obseru.r, July1.

Ar THE MACHINE, CALLED MAN, is A
very complicated and delicae one, and is re liza
bic to get out Of order, and much more difacult to
reDairs than any combination Of wheels and cranks
AMI lovers made by the hands Of man. AS rule, it
is tnkered too much and badly tinker cd at that It
is often calcmelzed, narcotzed, depleted and 9TH
erwise misused, when al that it really needs is q
wholesome tonic and restorative like HOS re TIERS
STOMACH BITTER5 to put 1t in proper trim and
keep 1t so. The stomach is shamefully maltreatAd.
In the first place the food which It's juices are in
tended to dissolve, too frequently thrown into it
hastily, and in halfmastcated condition. in whlch
state the gastric acid cannot properly act upon It,
The result is dyspepsia. Their comes the Doctor
and. fading the digestive organs weak and the bow
els inert. he proceeds to weaken and parayze still
naoro with drastic purgatives. These tending-as
they always do--to produce salutary change, he
tells the invalid that medical science can do no m ore
for him. This, with all due difference, is mistake
one Of those mistakes which Talleyrand said were
tantamourt to crimes What the dyspeptic needs is
tnvigorati0n. Strengthen the stomach with ROS.
LETTERS BIT ERS, and the stomach will strength
en- every other part Of the human machine, and
make 1t. In conaaon parlsnce. good new. Upon
the state OF the digestion depends, in measu re, the
condition OF the whole system Now the Bitters are
the most admirable tonic known. They consist OF
the finest vegetable ingigorants ami resteratives
csssSinea with an unadniJerateI stimulant. The
dyspeptic needs nothing else to effect cure except
q light nutritious diet. and fair amoant Of exer.
eiae. Even In the absence of these last mentioned
accessories the tonic and Alternative propertie es Of
the preparation will work wonders, enabling tho
dyspoptic to digest inferior fare with comparative
ease and to maintain good habit Of body, In spite
Of the drawbacks Of o sedentary occupation.

On Monday morning party Of four
arrived here in a two-horse carriage,
after drive Of sixty miles, from Stafford
county, Va where, for want OF properly
qualified officers. marriages are not pos
sible just now. Going to the City Hall,
a marriage license was procured for two
of the party, Mr.. james Pearson and
Miss Annette Davis, and the vehicle
drove up to the door of the hardware store
of Meador & Co., opposite the Metropol-
itan Hotel, when inquiry was made for
the senior member of the firm, who is the
pastor of the Island Baptist Church.
This gestemsn promptly answered the
call, but suggested that the store was
hardly the place for the performance of
the marriage ceremony, and invited them
to drive to his residence. The party,
after consultation, declined, saying that
they had about sixty miles to go, and as
the weather was threatening they desired
that the knot be speedily tied. Accor-
dinghy the party entered the store and
took their places, when, with the clerks
and customers as Witnesses, the twain
were made one, and drove off for their
Virginia home, well satisfied with the

The New Orleans Times, of Friday
last, says:
The lecture of Major Martin Dslany, q
colored graduate of Harvard University,
and traveller of some note, collected
last evening ut the Chamber of the
House Of Representatives quite mixed
assembly, majority of whom were
black. The speaker, according to his
own statement, is q native Of Charles
town, Virginia, and served during the
war under General Sickles. The burthen
of his discourse was in refutation OF the
so-called /" higher law" which proclaims
social equality of black man with q
white man. His address was well
arranged, and on the whole could be con-
sidered creditable effort. Though con-
tending for equality before the law, he
warned those of his race against any
thing approaching assumed superiority
over the whites, or an Infringement OF
their social rights. Carpet-baggers we're
denounced as itinerant mercenary dema-
gogues, aud little puny white men, I'M
known at home or abroad. In conclu-
sion, he urged an exodus to the fields,
and stated, in positive terms, that the
future of the African race in America
depended on its usefulness. Perhaps
the most sensible adviser the colored
people have yet heard is Major Delany.
