THF CONDITION OF THE
SOUTH.

The following remarkable article is taken
from the Chicago Tribune, the leading Rad
zeal paper in the Northwest. 1t is probably
true, as the Tribune suggests, that Presi.
dent Lincoln would have issued proclama-
ton of amnesty, if the ultra Radical ele-
ment could not have prevented it, and had
he done so, there is little doubt that Con
gress and the Radicals generally would have
regarded it as full and complete, and bind
ing upon the judicial and other tribunals of
the country. But it was not reserved for
Mr. Lincoln to issue that proclamation, and
now these self same Radicals deny the vail
dity of the proclamation issued by Presi-
dent johnson. That is Radical consistency
The Tribune entertains a just conception of
the iniquities practiced upon the people of
the South by the leaders of its own party,
and it has the frankRess to condemn them.
History points to no people who have been
so patient under the wrongs inflicted upon
them, as have the people of the Southern
States. They have submitted to these
wrongs with meekness that is truly wonder
full in high spirited people like them. The
idea that the people of the Northern States
have never participated in any scheme for
the persecution of the white population of
the South, when the Republican legislation
of Congress for the last Eve years has been
of the most oppressive and prosecuting
character against them, is most remarkable
and if true would make the Northern PEG.

DEVLESH DEED,

1t becomes our painful duty to record one
of the most devlish deeds known to the
annals OF crime. Last Tuesday evening two
negro boys, Willis and John Henry, children
ola negress named Julia, aged respectively
ten and eight years, euticed little Stonewall
Black, son of the late DR.. H. Black of Bolivar
down to the cabin where they lived, and
while there, began to taunt, abuse and NAL
treat the little fellow, who is not more than
five years old StonewalI began to cry, and
the boy Willis, the eldest Of the negroes,
threatened to kill him if he did not hush
crying This StOnewall could not DO, and
Willis wentinto the cabin, got a pistol, came
out and snapped it at Stonewall several
times; finding that the weapon was not
loaded the miniature devil went back into
the house. got cartridge, loaded the pistol
and again presented it at his victim. This
time the weapon was discharged, the ball
striking Stonewall In the abdomen, and
ranged round his vitals towards the rear of
he hip joint. At the report the little
fellow fell to the ground, shrieking with
pain, and was Immediately seized by his
wouldrbe murderer, vino was assisted by
John Henry, and dragged towards an old
well, into which they were going to throw
him, thus thinking to cover up all traces of
the foul and attrociOus crime Fortunately
Mr.. Cratgs wife, one of the nearest neigh
bors, heard the shot and the screams of the
sufferer, and promptly came to his rescue,
otherwise, ne certainly would have been
plunged into the old well As soon as pos~
sible Stonewail was conveyed to his mothers
residence, where DR.. T. E. Moore dressed
the wound, which, though not mortal, is a
very painful one indeed All things con
sidered, this is certainly one of the most
cruel attempts at murder we have ever heard
of, and is an evidence Of the depraved con
dition into which idle negro boys are sinking.
We scarcely know what can be done le-
galy, with the perpetrators of this deed Of
blood, but one thing is sure, such viciousn ess
should not 90 UNPUBLISHED, and we call upon
the authorities to visit upon the assassins Of
little Stonewall every stripe to which their
crime intitles them. Willis cannot, itseems
for he was old enough to make the threat
old enough to shoot, old enough to attempt
to conceal his crime, and old enough to flee
from those who attempted to arrest him
Willis was arr sted Wednesday, tried be-
fore committing court, and is now in Jail.

Happy Rfddance.

The Franklin ReUielO says: Mr.. George
5 Nichol, gallant soldier of the Lost
Cause, received a couple Of wounds in the
head during the war. One ball struck him
in the mouth and terribly mutilated his
whole face; the other entered his right eye,
and the doctors could never tell where it
stopped The other day Mr.. NichOl was
INDUCING in hearty laugh, when, much to
his surprise, the ball dropped down into his
mouth, and he was thus pleasantly relieved
of a ball that had been al annoyance to him
for more than six years.

dyspepsia.
THE WHOLE STORY IN A NUTSHELL.

THE WHOLE STORY IN NUTSHELL.
The office of the stomach is to convert the
food into a cream like semi fluid, called
CHYME This is effected partly by the
action of a solvent, called the gastric juice
which exudes from the coating of the stom-
ach, and partly by mechanical movement
of that organ, which cbmrnS, as it were, the
disselving aliment, The CHYME passes
from the stomach into the duodenum, or
entrance to the bowels, where it is subjected
to the action of the bile; and the nutritious
portion of it converted into fluid called
cHyle, which eventually becomes blood
Now, it is evident that if the great SOL
vent the gastric juice, is not produced in
sufficient quantity, or if the mechanical &C
ton of the stomach is not sufficiently brisk,
the first process Of digestion will be but i'm
perfectly performed. 1t is also clear that if
the liver, which plays such important part in
changing the nourshing portion OF the chyme
into the material of the blood, is congested,
or in any unnatural condition, the second
process will not be thoroughly accomplish
ed, The result of the taOo failures Is dys-
pepisa, complicated with biliOusness.
The mode in which HOSTETTER'S BIT
TIERS operate in such cases is this they in
vigorate the cellular membrane of the
stomach, which evolves the gastric juice,
thereby insuring an ample sufficiency of the
fluid to completely dissolve the food. They
also act upon the nerves of the stomach,
causing an acceleration of mechanical
movement necessary to reduce the food to a
homogeneous mass. They also act specif-
caIly upon the liver, Strengthening it, and so
enabling it to produce an ample and regular
supply of bile, for the purpose of converting
the nutritious particles of the. Chynae into
CHyle, and promote the passage through the
bowels of the useless debris
In this way, HOSTETTER'S BITTERS

PorATo STARCH.-To make starch from
potatoes, wash your potatoes clean then
pare them. Take a large crater and CRATE
them into tub of water. After it becomes
settled, drain the water off, putting fresh on
again, pouring and changing about three
times when the starch will be ready to dry
This is done by spreading it out on paper
or muslin, and it will be dry IN very short
time. IL will compare fayorably with the
best silver gloss starch that can be found in
the msrket.
