Common sense

Rules the mass of the people, whatever the
misnamed and misanthropic philosophers
may say to the contrary. Show them good
thing, let its merits be clearly demonstrated,
and they will not hesitate to give it their
most cordial patronage. The masses have
already ratified the judgment of a physician
concerning the virtues of H0STETTER'S
BITTERS, as may be seen in the immense
quantities of this medicine that are annual
" sold in every section of the land. 1t is
now recognized as greatly superior to all
other remedies yet devised for diseases OF
the digestive organs. such a. diarrhoea, dys-
EMERY, dyspepsia, and for the various fevers
that arise from arrangement of those por-
tions of the system. Hostetter's name is
rapidly becoming household word, from
Maine to Texas, from the shores of the At
lantic to the Pacific. These celebrated
STOMACH BITTERS have doubtless ere
ated as much sensation in the community
for their remarkable cures as any other med
icine extant. 1t is fact that in the minds
OF many persons prejudice exists against
what are called patent medicines; but why
should this prevent you resorting to an ar
tiele that has such an array of testimony to
support it as HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BlTTERS. Physicians prescribe it; why
should you discard it? Judges, usually
considered men of talent, have and do use
it in their families: why should you reject
1t: Let not your prejudice usurp your rea-
son, to the everlasting injury OF your health.
Ii IS the only preparation OF the kind that Is
reliable in all cases, and it Is therefore wor-
thy of the consideration of the afflicted. The
BiFTERS are pleasant to the taste, agree
able in their effects, and altogether valuable
as topic or remedy for indigestion.

How that Immense Bank Robbery was

New YORK, June 2S.-On the 18th inst.
q man named Lewis III. Cole, representing
himself as an agent of the Chicago Life
Insurance Company, rented portion OF
the office in the basement of the Ocean
National Bank. The only Office furniture
he put in beside desk was large high
case. Yesterday at noon the janitor OF the
bank found everything safe; since which
time a hole has been cut through from the
basement to the back office of the bank by
burglars. who, with large quantity OF fine
tools, which they left behind them, forced
and blew open several safes. emptylng
them of their contents. Everything was
found in confusion this morning. The
bank officials state that only about $40, 600
in Governments bonds belonging to the
bank were stolen, the thieves leaving bag
containing $50, 900 in gold in one OF the
safes, and over $4,000 in gold certifi-

known to many country people, and some
times made use of either for ascertainiDg
dinner-time or for capturing the mole.
The injuries done by the moles are chief
iy caused by the elevation of the soil above
their superficial galleries, which are some
times SO abundant in meadow lands as to
completely loosen the roots of the grass
over patches of considerable size. In gar
dens they often cause much annoyance and
considerable damage by loosening roots or
completed y Overturning valuable plants and
by dis6guring fower-beds and neat gravel
walks. Under these circumstances, no one
can blame gardener if he gets out of pa
tlence and passes sentence of death upon
the whole race. But it is easier to pro-
nounce the sentence than to execute it in
this case. And, perhaps, it is well that it
is so, for the moles devour an Incredible
number of noxious insects during the sea-
son, which, if allowed to live, would, be-
yond question, do far more damage than
the moles. 1t is well known that great
majority of our most injurious insects pass
part of their life under ground, and that
they are there safest from the attacks of
human foes. Many, like the cut-worms,
grubs OF seventeen-year locusts, grabs or
larvae Of many beetles, etc., pass the
greater part of their life under ground. -
Others. like the plum weepil canker-Worm
army worm, tobacco-wOrm, and a host of
others, pass their inactive pupa state be
meath the soft, and most of them pass the
winter In this way. All these are the
| favorite food of the moles, which are ever
at work. summer and winter, sinking shafts
| and extending their tunnels and galleries

sures Wherever we find their galleries

| there the moles have found an abundant
| supply of insects. Ard we must consider
not only the number actually destroy ed,
| but also the vast numbers of their progeny
| that would otherwise have been produced
| in short time.
They also consume the earth worm, or
| 'tangle-worm," ia great numbers, but
whether this is to be reckoped as
a benefit or not may be doubted
by many. We hope to say something
upon this earth-worm question at future
time, and will here only state that he is
at best suspicious character and a
vegetarian. Moreover, the very tunnels
and galleries of the moles of which the
farmers complain may, in many cases,
prove in the end benefit rather than an
injury, since in grass lands they serve to
Tighten the soil, and the deeper ones, at
least, must act as drains, thus supplying
the place, to some slight extent, of cultiya-
ton and drainage. ..
Therefore, we conclude that the moles
should be encouraged in all places except
gardens, where they should be caught, If
possible, alive, and may then be transfer
red to some distant locality. especially to
the vicinity of fruit-trees, where they can do
no harm, and must do much good.

very few and unimportant as scarcely to
merit attention In general review. In
some one or two localities the rain has
been excessive--in one or two others, the
stands are reported poor, In Dougherty,
the crops on two or three plantations have
been seriously damaged or destroyed by
hall-but these conditions and casualties
cover but small space, and we may say,
from the whole broad cotton region of
Georgia comes the most cheering intelli-
gence. 1t IS better report in short, 1--WE
mean as to the area actually in cnltivation)
than we ever heard before.
The cotton is growing rapidly with the
aid of rain and sultry weather. The grass,
under the operation of the same causes, is
also springing up with equal vigor, but
the crop is in condition to meet the foe.
1t is all thinned to q stand-it is of good
size-it has only youth growth to COM
bat, and the rains have not been so contin-
uous as very senously to interfere with field
labor.
Consequently, we do not anticipate any
OF those disastrous blocks in plantation

latIon OF work IN very warm weather, the
hands get discouraged, or get sick, or
tagged and unambitious-and which fire.

of their crop to save the remainder.

4 Oble-Hearted Woman,
rtrs. Crane Pleads for Yergor's Life

The Nathez Miss Democrat of the
21st inst. says: a....
Through the kindness of friend we are
permitted to make the following extracts
from lady's private letter to lady in
this city. 1t shows such true nobility of
heart in the widow of the late Col. Crane
as cannot but add, if anything can be add
ed, to the profound sympathy felt for the
bereaved lady by the people Of Mississip-
pi. We quote: ---~
"When Rev. DIR. Crane got to Browns
store, he found Col. Crane lying with his
feet on the pavement and his head and
body in the store. just weltering in his
blood and dead On the floor clinging to
the dead body of her husband, and cover
ed with his bloods was his wife, calling
him by every endearing name, imploring
him to speak once more. She was sur
rounded by men and negroes no female
near her. While Rev. DIR. Crane knelt by
her, trying to do what he could, the negro
preacher, Lynch, stopped over and said to
her, "You shall be revenged." DIR Crane
told him this was no place for such Ian
guage; if he could say nothing to soothe
her he must remain quiet. Finally. Mrs.
Crane was induced to enter carriage
where they were joined by Mrs. Judge
Jeffords and Mrs Maj, Eagan, and all
went to Dr. Cranes residence. Here
the awful trial commenced-for the
scene was truly heart-rending.
Mrs. Crane was seated in chair,
covered with her husbands blood. She
looked up at me and smiled, but oh such
a smile. She threw her arms around me,
and asked me if I knew Joseph had been
murdered, calling him by every tender
name. I almost shrieked with agony. L
got water and washed the blood from her
hands. I never witnessed such agony
The ladies wept. The tears streamed
down the cheeks of the officers. Mrs.
Crane begged to go home at oncet to her
parents-to her two sons-to the home
where she had gone when first married,
where her husband had made her life one
scene Of happiness, &c. She sang, she
raved !; but suddenly she turned and said :
Judge Jeffords and DIR. Crane, call upon
You to hear my words. Judge Jctfords,
by all the love you bore by husband, and
know he was your dearest friend-your
partner in law for seven long years-by all
the love you bore him, beseech y on to
use all the influence you have to save the
man who murdered him. Joseph j. III the

for his country let it be the martyrs
