The efficacy OF HOSTErrERS CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERs as specific for recruiting
the enfecbled body and cheering the despondinR
mind has passed into a proverb. In the United
States, where this marvellous tonic has borne
down ell opposition and eclipsed sTl rivalry, the
demand for Il has annually increased In heavier
and heavier ratio for years. until at last the regu
lar sales Of this preparation exceed those Of all
other stomanchics combined. Eminent members
Of the medical profession snd hospital surgeons
without number have candidly admitted that the
pharmacopGia Of the faculty contains no pre-.
scription that produces such beneficial effects in
dyspepsia, general debility ana nervous diseases,
as nos rErTBR's BTTTBRs. To use the Ian.
guage OF venerable physician OF New York,
- The Bitters are the purest stimulant and the
safest tonic we have" But the uses Of the great
vegetable antidote are much more comprehensive We
than such praise would imply. As a PaEPABk-
TORY ANTTDOTE TO epidemic disease, a genial
stimulant, promoter of constitutional yigor, an
appetizer, a stomachic, and a remedy for nervous
debility, no medical preparation has ever attained
the reputation Of HosTETTRR'S BTrTERs. 1t
is the HOUSEHOLD TONIC OF the AMERICAN
PEOPLE, and in all human probability win be 90

The grain, the grass seeds, and the

by judiciously making the most of not

The President and Congress.

THE President is very regardless OF the
feelings of those who have gleefully en-.
larged upon his differences with the
Legislative branch of tho Government.
He will not crafty them with even the
semblance OF quarrel with Congress.
On "Wednesday of last week he sent a mes
sage recommending action in regard 20
the reconstruction of Virginia and Mis-,
sissippi. On Thursday the House passed
bill in accordance with his suggestions,
and sent it to the Senate. On Friday the
Senate amended it,. passed it, and sent
II TO the House The House received
Il, concurred In the amendments, passed
II, and sent II to the President for
his signature. Here was the best con.
ceivable opportunity for neat quarrel.
That intense jealousy, that latent distrust
OF the President, of which We have heard
so much, might have expressed themselves
most readily, But as they do not exist
they did not appear. Even General But.
leE who is supposed to remember his
hostilities quite as vividly as other men,
was foremost in promoting the Presidents 9
suggestions. The last important act of
Congress was an expression of the utmost
confidence in President Grant--Ruper's

Cunning OF the Fox.


A CERTAIN jagare, who was one morn
ing keeping watch In the forest, saw fox
cautiously making his approach toward
the stump of an old tree. When sufll.
ciently near, he took high and deter.
mined jump on to the top of 1t, and, after
looking round awhile, hoped to the
ground again. After Reynard had re.
peated this knightly exercise several times,
he went his way, but presently returned
To the spot bearing pretty large and
heavy piece of dry oak in his mouth, and
thus burdened, and as il would seem for
the purpose of testing his vaulting pow
ers, he renewed his leaps on to the stump.
After time, however, and when he found
that, weighted as he was, he could make
the ascent with facility, he desisted from
further efforts, dropped the piece of wood
from his mouth, and coiling himself upon
the top OF the stump, remained notion
less as if dead AT the approach of
evening, an old SOW and her progeny, five
or six in number, issued from neighbor-
ing thicRet and, pursuing their usual
track, passed near TO the stump in uues-
tion. Two of her suckliugs followed
somewhat behind the rest, and, lust as
they neared his ambush, Michel, with the
rapidity of thought, darted down from his
perch upon one of them, and in tho
twinkling of az eye bore II In triumph on
to the iastness he had so providentially
prepared beforehand. Confounded at the
shrieks of her offspring, the old sow re
turned In fury to the spot, and until late
in the night made repeated desperate at.

The Eject Of CHARCOAL on Flowers.

A CORRESPONDENT of the ReoUo H0rtic0lo
says that not long ago he made bargain
for rosebush of magnificent growth and
full of buds. He waited for them to blow,
and expected roses worthy of such no.
BILE plant and Of the praises bestowed up
on 1t by the vender, but when 1t bloomed
all his hopes were blasted. The flowers
were of faded hue, and he discovered
that he had only a middling multiflora,
stale colored enough. He therefore re-
solved to sacrifice It to some expert.
ments which he had i'm view. His atten-
tion had been directed to the effects of
charcoal as stated in some English publi-
cations. He then covered the earth in
the pot in which the rosebush was about
half an inch deep, with pulverized char.
coal Some days after he was astonished
to see the roses which bloomed of as fine
a lively rose-color as he could wish. He
determined to repeat the experiment, and
therefore when the rosebush had done
Towering he took off the charcoal and put
fresh earth about the roots and waited tor
the next spring impatiently to see the re-
suit of this experiment. When it bloomed
the roses were at first pale and discolored,
but by applying the charcoal as before
they soon assumed their rosy-red color.
He then tried the powdered charcoal In
large quantities upon petunias, and found
that both the white and violet colored
flowers were equally sensitive to its ac-
tion. 1t always gave great vigor to the
red or violet colors of the flowers, and the
white petunias became veined with red or
violet tints; the violets became covered
with irregular spots of blueish or al
most black tint. Many persons who ad-
mired them thought they were choice new
varieties from the seed. Yellow flowers
appear to be insensible to the influence of
charcoal.

Grape Culture.

ALMOST any soil will grow grape In
some Of its many varieties. We find the
wild grape vine ON granite hills and vol.
canic ashes, on limestone, on sandstone
ON sands, on clays, on shales, on gravel, on
hills, in hollows, In swamps, in dry ridges,
on the alluviums, and even on the islands
of our rivers. So with the plantations of
vines, all may succeed, though each pro.
prietor, whether OF clays or limestone or
on shAles, or of sandy loans, claims that
he has the especial grape lands Of the
country and rates his estimates of value
accordingly. IN some instances the prices
for these hyorite spotshAve been lieu
lously high, but such bubbles must hurst
