REPRESENTATION The next decennial cen
sus is to be taken in 1870, and the question has
been raised whether under the Fourteenth Ar
ticle of the Constitution the States of MarylandY
Kentucky and Missouri will be entitled to their
present representation IN Congress while re-
fusing suffrage to their coored population
The representation of those States in Congress,
it is estimated, is now about one-ffth larger
than it would be under that article of the Con.
stitution, which says: "When the right to
vote at any election for the choice of electors
for President or Vice Presdent..... is denied
to any Of the male inhabitants of such State,
being twcnty-one years Of age and citizens of
the u. S., or in any way abridged, except for
participation in rebellion or other crime, the
basic Of roprooontotion therein shall be reduced
in the proportion which the number Of such
male citizens shall bear to the whole number of
male citizens, tWenty-one years OF age, IN
such State.
The New York Tribune suggests that the
question may arise sooner and that the Clerk
of the House may have to decide it when the
members elected in these States after the
adoption of this article, present themselves to
be sworn 10 on the Fourth of March next
But aside from the difficulty Of deciding which
ones to reject, there will be the additional diff
Guilty that until the new census is taken it
cannot be known to Congress, officially, what
number of male citizens over twenty one years
Of age are excluded from exercising the cleo
tive franchise. Therefore, Congress will prob
ably not undertake to reject these members,
who will claim that they were elected under
existing laws of Congress in the matter of ap-
portionment - Wash. STAR

A BOLD HAND AT THE HELM, on
HELMBoLD.-A paragraph has been
going tho rounds of tho press quite
recontly, stating that Helmbold, the
celebrated New York Druggissu, pays
tho Tribune of that city over $40 900
per year for advertising. Helmbold's
business must be immense to enable
him to pay such sum Of money to
one paper out of some fifteen or six
teen hundredin which he advertiscs.
By his judicious, but at the Same time
extensive advertising, Helmbold has
made his 'Buchu" and other propric-
tary compounds standard remedies
in almost evory household in the land;
while the medical faculty, whose ap-
probation is never gained for nos.
trum, not only recommend Helm
holds preparations, but quito gene
rally use them In their private prac-
tice. IF some thousands of business
men, who have been content to plod
along in tho old fogy footsteps of
their ancestors, who looked upon
newspaper advertising as money
thrown away, had but possessed
Helmbold's sagacity and courage,
they might, perhaps, figure quite as
largely in the Income-Tax returns
--Ne,0 York Times.

What is a TOnicp

Bear this in mind,--that although a ton
lc is, to certain extent, stimulant.-a
stimulant, unmoditied ~ any medicinal
substances, is not a tonic, but debili-
tant. In IIoSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS there is a stimulating element of
the puresu grade manufactured in this or
any other country. Every fiery and cor
rosive oil or acid which communicates the
ordinary liquors of commerce, is expelled
from the rye spirit which forms the aIco-
holic basis ofth BITTERS, by careful
and repeated rectiilcation. The juices of
the valuable roots, banks and herbs, in
fused into this wholesome product of the
finest grain, still further modify its ma
ture, so that it becomes. in fact, a simple
dlflusive agent, minus all the heady and
brain exciting properties which belong
more or less, to all liquors in raw state.
1t is merely the safe and harmless vehicle
Which renders the medicinal virtues of
the preparation effective increasing
their active power, and diffusing them
through the system. Hence the pleasant
and gentle glow which is experienced af-
ter taking dose of the BITTERS. In
stead of creating headache, as unmedica-
ted stimulants are apt to do, this salubri-
Gus tonic is the best known remedy for
that complaint. II Gains and sooths CO.
rebral excitement, strengthens the nerves,
promotes the secretion of the gastric juice,
invigorates the bowels, determines the
fluids TO the surface, improves the appe-
tite, increases the animal vigor, regulates
the organic action, and, from its mild yet
effective Alternative qualities, is the very
best preparation that can be administered
TO the weaker sex in the peculiar difficult
ties to which their organization subiects
them.
