An investigation of the sub Committee
on foreign affairs into Paraguayan matters
has developed the fact of long standing
difference between our diplomatic and
naval corps abroad, involving the question
of ultimate authority. The Committee
have accordingly resolved to summon be-
fore them Vice-Admiral Porter and second
Assistant Secretary of State Hunter, to
give testimony on each branch of the ques-
ton as to the theory and practice of our
diplomatic representatives and naval Off
GERS in discharge of their official conduct
while in foreign parts. The examination
concerns the charge that our naval officefs
have acted Independently OF, or have not
consulted the views of our diplomatic rep

which should secure cooperation or unity
of action. An investigation will, it is

we Live i'm Three Climates.

We Live i'm Three Climates
In this country We have at different seasons of
the year the temperature of three climates Our
Springs and Autumns have a softness and mildness
that belong only to the Temperate Zones; our Mid
summers are torrid, and our Mid-winters almost
arctic in their frigidity. These changes involving
a variation of from 30 to 100 degrees of Fahrenheit
during the year, upon the whole conducive to
health and long life but they tend to entail upon
us some distressing complaints which only be
escaped by the exercise of due care and the use of
proper antdote when the system is pre-dispOsed to
contract them. The chief and most annoying of
these disorders is dyspepsia once supposed to be
incurable, but which, since the Introduction Of
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, now about
20 years ago, has proved to be perfectly manage
able disease.
In the Spring and Fall, but more especiaIlyu--
he Fall, the symptoms OF dyspepsia are generally
aggravated. The prOfuse expenditure of the ami
nal fluids under the burning sun of Summer, is
apt to leave the stomach weak and indOlent and
incompetent to the task Of perfect digestion 1t
equres a tonic which will rouse it from its leth-
argy, and brace and invigOrate without irritating
on inAAming it. This tonic has been provided in
the wonderful vegetable preparation which has re-
placed, in great measure, all the old paliatives
formerly prescribed by physicians under he falset
idea that the disorder cOnld not be radically cured
The success of HOSTETTERS BITTERS in all the
varieties of dyspepsia, acute or chronic, has effect
ually exploded this fallacy, and il is now recon-
mended as a specific for indigestion by some Of the
most eminent members of the medical profession
