L Is SAID that the proprletors OF the celebrated
PLANTATION BITTERs rent no less than nine pews
from the different denominations in New York
city for all those of their employees who will occu-
py them regularly, free of charge. This is GER
tainly praiseworthy, and it is to be hoped that
follow the example The above fact, accompa-
MED with the belief that firm who would look
so closely after the morals and welfare of their
employees, would not undertake to impose upon
the public, has induced US to give the PLANTA-
TON BITTRRs trial, and having found them to
be all that is represented, we cordially recon-
mend them as a tonic of rare merit Observer,

Virginia Election.


RICHMOND, July 7-P. M.
Tha State, according to the latest returns to-
night, has gone by nearly forty thousand for
Walker, and there is Walker majority of fifty
on joint ballot in the Legislature. The Walker
people elect all the Congressman except three,
who are Platte. Porter and Norton, coored.
This complete disaster to the Wells ticket re-
suits from--first, the unreliability of the negro
vote, which, in the country districts, has gone
largely for Walker; and second, because of the
failure Of their calculation in some of the coun-
ties bordering on Tennessee and North Carolina,
where the whites votes for that ticket, were
chiefly expected in that quarter. The counties
that were expected to give him five hundred ma
iority went against him by one thousand.
The Walker State Executive committee tele-
graphed President Grant this morning congratu-
lsting him on the triumph of his policy in Vir-
ginia, and thanking him for his iberaliy.
Several Walker colored men have been elected
to the Legislature.

Don't Stop Over.

Don't siop over - the old man said,
..Go it, by all means, 60 i. fast
Go il W hile leather and horseshocs last
Go it while hair and hide horse
VIII hold together. OH, go it. Of course
Go il rapid ever you can,
But don't slop over, my dear young man.
Don't stop over. You'll find some day
That keeping an eye to the windward will pay,
A horse may run little too long,
A preacher preach just fraction too strong,
And u poet who pleases the world with rhymes
May write and regret ii in after times.
Keep the end of the effort in view,
And don't slop over, whatever you do.
..Don't slop over. Tho wiscst men
Are bound to slop over now and then;
And yet the wisest at work or feast
Are the very oneS who blunder the least,
Those who for split milk never wall
Are the ones who cary she steadicst pail.
Wherever you go, 60 in for the fat;
But don't slop overland freeze to that
'.Don't slo2 over, distrust yourself,
Nor always reach to the highest shelf
The next to the highe-t viii generally do,
And answer the needs of such you-
Climb, of course, but always stop
And take breath 4 little this side of the top;
And you viii reach it in wind and strong
Without stopping over Thus ends my song."

Mark Twain ON Female suarass.

Mark Twain writes to his cousin Jsn-
ME on the subject of female suffrage %
follows:
There is one insuperable obstacle in
the way of female suffrage, Jennie.
approach the subject with fear and trcmb-
ling, but must out. A woman would
never vote, because she would have to
tell her age at tho polls, and even if she
did care to vote once or twice when shc
was just of age, you know what dire re-
suits would flow from quitting this and
that together" in after times. For in
stance, in an unguarded moment Miss A.
says she voted for Mr.. Smith. Her aud
itor, who knows it is seven years since
Smith ran foy anything eaisly ciphers out
that she is at least seven years over age,
instead Of the young pullet she has been
making herself out to be. No Jennie,
this new fashion Of registering the name,
age, residence and occupation OF every
voter is a fatal bar to female suffrage.
Women will never be permitted to
vote or hold office, Jennie, and it is
lucky thing for me, and many other men,
that such is the decree of fate. Because,
you see, there arc some few measures
that would bring out their entiro voting
strength, in spite of their antipathy to
make themselves conspicuous andjthere
being vastly more women than men ia
this State, they would trot these meas
ures through the Legislature with ve-
locity that would be appalling. For in
stance, they would enact:
1. That all men should be at home by
ten P. NJ, without fail.
2. That married men should bestow
considerable attention on their wives.
3. That it should be hanging ofense
to sell whisky in Saloons and that fine
and disfranefisement should follow drink
ing in such places.
4. That the smoking of cigars to ex-
cess should be forbidden, and that the
smoking of pipes be abolished.
5. That the wife should have little
of her own property, when she married
man who hadn't any.
Jennie, such tyranny rs this we could
never stand. Our free souls could never
endure such degrading thraldom.
Women go your way! Seek not to be-
guile US Of our imperial privileges.
Content yourselves with your feminine
| trifes--your babies, your benevolent go
cieties, and your knitting-and let your
natural boss do the voting. Stand back;
you will be wanting to go to war next.
We will let you teach school rs much AZ
you want to, and we will pay you half
wages for it, too; but be warned, We
don't want you to crowd us too much.
If / get time, cousin Jennie, will
furnish you picture of female Legis-
lature that will distress you-I know it
will, because you cannot disguise from
me the fact that you are more in favor of
female suffrage than am.

Homo and Friends.

oh. there is power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it !;
Nor need we roam to bring it hcme,
Though few there be that find it
We seek to high for things close by,
And lose what Nature found US
For life hath here no eL arm SO dear,
As home and friends around US!
We oft destroy the present Joy
For future hopes-and praise them:
While flowers rs sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stop to raise them
For things afar still sweetest are
When youths bright spell hath bound US,
But coon we're taught that Garth has naugh,
Like home and friends around US!
The friends that speed. in time OF need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
That show US still, that, come what Will,
We are not quite forsakcn-
Though all were night; if but the light
Of Friendships altar crown us.
'Twould prove the bliss of earth was this
Our home and friends around US

LAW AND PoKER.-At far Western
Court the case of Smith vs.. Jones was
called up.
"Who's for the plaintiff ?" inquired
the Judge, impatiently.
"May it please the Court" said . ris-
ing member of the fraternity, "Pilkins
is for the plaintiff, but left him just
now over in the tavern playing game
of poker. He's got a sucker there, and
is sure to skin him right smart, if he has
only got time. He's got everything set
to ring in 'cold deck in which case he
will deal for himself four aces and his
opponent four queens, SO that your Hon.
OF will perceive that he must rake tho
persimmons.
"Dear me-" said the Judge, with q
sigh, 'sthat's too bad It happens at .
very unfortunate time am very anx-
ious to get on with this case"
A brown study followed, and at length
a happy thought struck the Judge
"Bill," said he, addressing the friend
of the absent Pilkins, who had just
spoken, s:you understand poker about rs
well as Pilkins. Suppose you 60 over
and play his hand"
And Bill did it.
