PECIAL NOTICES.
Let Us Discuss the Great OuestIon


What is the most important of all
earthly blessings, in the estimation OF
every intelligent human being?
Clearly, IL is HEALTH; for sOund8egs of
body and Of mind is essential to the eDfOy-
ment of all the other good gifts of ProVi-
dence.
How, then, shall those who possess this
ineStimabIe treasure endeavor to preserve
il, and how shall those Who have lost IL
seek to retrieve it?
These questions have been asked in all
ages, but never have they been as satisfac-
tOrily responded to as at the present day,
and the answers which common sense, en-
lightened by science and experience, gives
to them In the Nineteenth Century may
be briefly stated thus:
To protect the system against all influ-
ences that may tend to generate disease,
| there is nothing ike inauguration.
To re-eStabIlsh the health on firm
/ basis, when It has been lost by impru-
| dence or any other cause. the system must
/ be simultaneously strengthened, regulated,
/ and purified.
| These ends can only be attained through
/ the agency of a preparation which COM
bineS the attributes Of q tonic, a corrective,
/ a blood deI71tre7lt, and an 0perient.
/ All these essentials are effectually
/ blended in HOSTETTER'S ST. NJ AC II
! BITTERSs They contain nothing drastic,
I irritating, OF fnf1ammatory. The juices
/ and extracts of saHative herbs, roots, and
/ barks are their sole medicinal ingredients,
| and these are rendered diffuSible by COM
| bination with the spirituous essence Of
rye, the purest of all alcoholic stimulants.

The POouIaTIty of The President.

Ii we read only the Democratic pa
pers We should be obliged to conclude
that General Grant had turned out to
be very efficient and popular Presi-
dent. They seem to have found moth
ing OF consequence in his administTa
ton to abuse him for, and have, there
fore, been compelled to bring petty
scrutiny to bear upon all his personal
movements. No fault can be found
with his prompt and impartial man-
agament Of our foreign relations in
the midst Of unusual perTlexities; but
then he is a smoker, not of corn cob
pipes, as Old Hickory was, but OF
good cigars. It IS OF little account,
apparently, with these organs, that he
has met the great problem of the ma
tional finances with q certain and
already efhcacious solution: but the
trouble is, he knows a good horse
when he sees one, and prefers driving
il to a poor one. 10 is forgotten by
them, also, that he has given the coun-
try the best Of officers, on the whole,
that it ever had. by whom abuses
are ferreted out, the revenues honestly
collected and the laws enforced; but
it is not forgotten that he spends a
part Of the summer vacation, instead
of immuring himself in Washington,
In actually going about among the
people of the country.
How long, let US ask, has this last
/ been a bad habit in the eyes of Dem
ocratic editors2 Within the memory
of men still living" as Macaulay
would say, President of the United
! States swung round the circle" OF
40 extended tour, making at the same
| time an immense number of speeches
| which the world would willingly lei
| die. But that was Andrew johnson
and the Democratic sheets Of that day
/ hailed him as a great statesman, able
| defender of the Constitution, intrepid
champion of imperiled popular rights
| &C., &c. When President Grant, how
ever, moves about the country, sayinl
nothing in public, making no display
of any kind, holding converse in pr
waite with all classes Of the people
and thus gaining information tina
| could be obtained IN no other way, hI
is followed by these same j OhnsOnial
admirers with a shower, or rather driZ
zle, Of ceaseless aud malignant abuse

Evansville SalOon-Keepers and the
Sabbath.


tr,ror,, Princeton Clarion, Aug. f5th.l
Tbo saloon keepers Of Evansville
over one Hundred IN number met
In that city on Friday evening OF last
week to determine upon a course for
them to pursue respecting the Sunday
Law, which By its terms closes all
saloons on the Sabbath day. Re-
marks were made that would proba-
bly, have done credit to any set Of men
that had no respect for law, christian
ity or themselves, but which to others
would not be so creditable. And to
our surprise, we confess, Mr.. A. Z.
Whittlesey, principal editor Of the
Evansville Courier, was present aad
sympathised with the meeting and
gave expression to his feelings in a
bold outspOken manner, stating that
the business Of the salOOn-keepers was
Just as honorable as that Of any other
legitimate business, and that the com
pelling Of them to close up their doors
on the Sabbath day was an outrage,
and intimated that for them to sell
| liquor was no more q violation OF the
| law than was committed BY the drug
gists who compound prescriptions, OF
/ the physician who visited his patients
on the Sabbath. And he even went
so far as to say that ministers Of the
| Gospel we're as guilty Of violation Of
/ the law when they preach on the Sab
bath as the men who sell liquor OF
that day-that the minister was pur
sueing his legitimate avocatiOn, anC
the saloon keeper did no more thar
that when he sold whisky. He hoped
tie saloon keepers Of the city woulC
stand up for their rights, and if the.
were prosecuted, to prosecute in turf
the physician, the druggist, the milk
man, the iceman, and, Of course, til
minister Of the gospel!
When it comes to editors Of respec
table journalism those which la
claim to the respect of an intelligen
aud enlightened publie-giving utter
ance to such stuff, it is time for tn
christian and moral part Of communi
ty to bestir themselves and see
something can not be done to coun
teract the influences the editor ma
have; and not only that. but to use ey

THE merchants Of Bowling Green
Kentucky, are becoming FESTIVE un-
der the freight tariff imposed on them
by the Louisville & Nashville Road,
and arc taking steps to have the bur
den removed. A committee of four
merchants has been appointed by the
Board Of Trade, to confer with the
officers of the Green & Barren Rivers
Navigation Company, and learn upon
what terms they can be induced to
place a sufficient number Of good
boats-say three or fourth the Lou
lsville trade to do all the freighting to
that point, of such goods as cannot
be advantageously shipped by express.
The Democrat says the goods shipped
to and from Bowling Green daily

road rates - would handsomely sup

however, comprehend the magnitude
of the interests involved by this
gigantic combination, or the advan-

from it.. 1t is the elimination of the
process of railway consolidation
which the officers Of the Cleveland,

have been steadily pushing forward
during the last year. 1t results in
wedding together the two magnificent
lines, one of which, starting IN Butta-

other Of which, starting at Toledo,

THE Cleveland Leader IA and we
agree with it--thinks the new postsge
stamps have not won the highest de-
gree of public favor. They are blotchy,
tasteless in design, suffer By COM
parisou with the old stamps in all
artistic respects, and arc the subject
Of much complaint on account Of the
inferior quality and insufficient guam
tity Of the mucilago used upon them.
If there were good reasons tor aband
oning the old designs, the Postmaster
General should have Entrusted the
task Of finding substitutes to some
person of taste and capacity; aud he
should see to ii that the adhesive ar
engagements on all tho stamps sold by
the Department arc perfect. Wilde
the Government claims nc monopoly
of letter transportation, it. should

LINCOLN AND DOUGLAs.-We are
indebted to a Chicago lady for the
following unpublished anecdOte of the
late President Lincoln:
When Mr.. Lincoln and Mr. Doug

memorable canvass of Illinois for tie
United States Senatorship, they fire
quently met on the same hustings and
addressed the same audience On
one of these occasions, after J Idge
Douglas had made one of his most
eloquent speeches. it came to Mr..
Lincoln's turn. Throwing off his
Overcoat, he handed it to a young man
near by, and said, in his droll way:

But few persons have any proper COM

business in this country. Take one
''item,'' for instance, as illustrative /:
Matthew Hale Smiths Sunshine and
Shadow in New York. which is the
exciting work of the times, is selling at
the rate of 1000 copies per day and is
sold exclusively by agents, (See ddUertiSe-
meRt ig dHROthe oOLILmH.) The publish
ers q. B. Burr & Co., of Hartford,
Conn., use two o of paper a day and
run six large roller presses constantly
to supply the current demand. This is
doing a wholesale business with one
book alone. This is a large work too, it
must be remembered, between seven
and eight hundred pages royal octave,
and Vet it rivals in rapidity of sale "Un-
Gle Toms Cabin" of old. Think of the
countless number of the small books
published. Surely ours is a reading
