An Old FaiIacy Exploded.

Thirty or forty years ago, ii was the FISH
ion To administer powerful pUrgutiyc' Us
"Spring medicines" Terrific doses of salts
and SIENNA, calomel and jalap, or glaubcr
salts were given to all the members of n
family, whether sick or well, by way of pre-
pairing them for the warm weather in pros
pcct. This pcrniciOus custom is nearly
obsolete. but there are some old BourbOnS
Ofprivatr life, incapable alike of forgetting
anything or learning anything who obSti-
nately cling TO it still. Nothing could be
more perniciOuS, more utterly unphiloSoph-
zeal, than such an onslaught on the vigor
and elasticity Of the system. In order to
enable the physical structures to resist the
cncrVating effects Of spring dampS and sum
mer heats, il should be toned and reinforced,
not relaxed and weakened. The best med
cine agent for this purpose is HOStetter'S
Stomach BitterS Its effect is to tone the
stomach and liver, gently relieve the bowels
from Instructions, brace the nerves, inn
prove the quality of the blood, stimulate
the appetite and cheer the spirits. In this
improved condition the organization is
capable of resisting unhealthy influences,
which would PROSTATE an enfeCbled system.
\ vigorous digestion is absolutely essential
To health, and there is no danger Of the
stomach faltering or failing in its import
ant office ii this genial vegetable elixir is
taken regularly rs q stOmachic. None Of
the tonic tinctureS or extracts will supply
the place of the Bitters, for the simple re;I-
son that they operate as aStringents only.
In fact, in ordinary practice, five or six pre-
ScriptionS would be required to produce
separately, the beneficial results, which
are effected simultaneously, and harmOni-
ouSly by this single specific.

THE House We Live In"

Space tOrbidS our speaking Of the bones,
muscles, lungs, brain, nerves, skin, etc. But
consider for Il moment that the average
amount of blood i'll an adult is thirty
pounds. or about One-fifth of the body's
weight. At each beat of the heart two and
a-half ounces of blood are thrown out of it,;
one hundred and Scventy-fivc ounces per
minute; six hundred and fifty six pounds per
hour; seven and thrcc-fourthS tons per day.
All the blood in the body passes through
the heart in three minutes and distributes
the nutri,iVc principle To every texture
and the source of every secretion. Now, If
the blood is weak and impure, the danger
of mourning disease is imminent. This is
certain to be its condition, more or less, at
this period of the year. And just here we
are admoniShed Of the superior advantages
of MISIILER'S HERB BITTERS for cleans
ing and rcnOvating the blood. This it will
always do, and also prevent any disease
arising from impure blood, because it re-
moves the cause. Begin at once to purify
your blood with this great tonic, and thus
ward OF disease before II cntrcnchcs itself
IN your system. mas

The MCFARLAND trial has terminated
in the triumphant acquittal of the pris
oncr, amidst the applause of the multi
tude. No one could have expected a
different result Itmatters notwhether
man be sane or insane. If he kill
the seducer of his wife and the DESTROYER
of his peace under any circumstances,
a jury of his peers in this country
will acquit him and ought to acquit
him. RICHARDSON was a good man no
doubt in many respects, but fell in ter
rible temptations. MCFARLAND is I'M
fortunately constituted and not well
suited to retain the love of woman,
but his wife was his. Mrs MCFARLAND
was beautiful and accomplished, and
not being fortunately matched, was
seduced by meddling women into the
fatal error Of her life. OF all the par
ties concerned in this tragedy Mrs. CAL
HoUN was the most criminal. McFAR-
LANDS future is of course dark as his
past has been sad, but it is to be hoped
by his friends, as well as those who re-
spect the honor of his sex, that he will
not throw away what little is left of him
by initiating the disgracefrl example of
SlCKLEs who killed KEYS for a similar
offense, and take back to his bed and
embrace the paramour of his victim.

THE first negroes to vote in this State
were fifty-six in the local election at
Clarksburg last week, and five at IVES
ton. The Constitution of this State ex-
pressly declares that none but white
men shall vote. In this progressive
age of Radicalism, however, negroes
are entitled to front seats and the white
man refused any seat at all! Is there
a fair minded man in West Virginia
who will longer sustain party that has
perpetuated such an outrage upon the
people?

THE vote in France on the Plebiscitum

THE vote in France on the Plebiscitum
shows very clearly that NAPOLEON is
very strong in the hearts of his people.
The army sustained him by more than
seven to one, and the people by more
than five millions. That it was a fair
election no one can doubt, and that it
will result to the good Of France and
the world at present, is equally unques,
tionable.

In 1868 Senator WILEY stood upon
the Court House steps OF Weston and
declared that negro suffrage should
never be forced upon the citizens of
West Virginia until they had had an
opportunity to pass upon the question at
the polls"
The Radical Governor and his party of
this State gave the same assurance to
the people in that canvass, and thus
swindled thousands out of their suffrage
But as unmindful of these pledges as
they have been reckless with their honor,
they have proceeded to force negro suf-
frage upon our people, not only without
giving them an opportunity to pass
upon it at the polls" but even before
there has been any law passed to en-
force the Fifteenth Amendment!
If in eighteen months, these political
charlatans have proven false to their
promise on the question Of negro sui.
frage, have we the slightest reason to
believe they will not prove false to all
other pledges they may make? In the
coming contest they will promise us to
amend the Constitution and modify the
Registration law after awhile; but it is
snair and delusion. They will tell
us too that negro suffrage shall end
the whole negro question; but in few
months they will have the negro in
office, in our white schools, in the jury
box, at the bar, and in all other public
places. This is inevitable under the
laws that govern extremes, and We warn
the people against these perils.

ACCIDENTS and disasters like epedem-
les and crime run in shoals. When
one occurs two or dozen more are sure
to follow pretty closely on its heels.
The late terrible disaster in Richmond
was followed on Friday last by one OF
the most destructive fires in the town OF
Fincastle that ever occurred in that
State. Sixty-fve houses were DESTROYED
with the most part of their contents,
and a great number of shivering people
thrown upon the cold charities of the
world in a single night 1t commenced
at 9 o'clock P. NJ. and ragged fearfully
until I the next morning, sweeping every
thing in its course. The loss is esti-
mated at 100000, with light insur-
ance. Truly, the misfortunes ofthat great
and heroic old State have borne heavily
upon her for some years past.

The Northern Pacific Railway
From the Chicago Post.

3-a '4e' From the Chicago Post.
The House of Representative on the
26tE inst, passed the Senate joint resolu-
tion granting lauds in aid Of the North
ern Pacific railroad There has not been
more animated contest in the House for
many years than that over this measure,
which has been pressed by its friends
and opposed by its enemies with remark
able persistency and earnestness. The
opposition to the resolution might have
been more effective, perhaps, had it been
less angry. 1t took the shape of "filibus-
tering," and the only question in case
of filibustering in Congress is a question
of time.
The success of this measure, though.
vulnerable on account IF the greatness Of
the grant and the want Of provisions
favorable to the actual settlement of thu.
territory to be traversed by the road,
may nevertheless be REGARDED as calcu-
lated to confer great benefits upon the
country, just as the construction OF the
Union Pacific railway has done the
country great good, even though the
measure itself was Objectionable in some
respects The folly of Congress is shown
in not having learned anything from,
past experience, so as to have eliminated
Objectionable features from this grant.
But there can be no doubt that work on
the road will now speedily be com
menced. The company, according to the
measure which has just passed, may AT
once proceed to issue bonds and secure
them by mortgage'on the lands granted.
Money for the practical construction Of
the work can thus be obtained on good
terms, and we shall soon have an adj
ditional line OF railway across the con-
tinent
We need hardly remind our readers
that the route Of the Northern Pacicfic,
passing near the northern limit Of our
possessions from Lake Superior to near
the mouth of the Oregon, is in better
country than the route of the Union Pa
ciic. 1t is Minnesota allthe way. 1t is
we'll adapted to the raising of those crops
which make up the bulk of the mems
food its mineral resources are supposed
to be extensive; the climate, though Sc
we're on this side the Rocky Mountains,
which are, here far less rugged and lofty
than farther south, is extremely health
full, producing race of men and women
remarkable for physical and intellectual
vigor, and o high moral sense. 1t will,
perhaps, not, be a quarter of century
till one can take q car at Chicago and
travel in it all the way to the shores Of
the Pacific ocean in Oregon, or Washing
ton, passing from one end to the other
of the route, through . ,country no less
densely populated than is the country
now along any of the routes between til $
city and Council Bluffs. Then, will the
city of Chicago be the centre, of rail
way system embracing the continent, and
the q commercial metropolis of a. people
in numbers, like the sands of. the sea,
and, living under free Institutions, happy
and prosperous more than any former
generations of men. Because by that
time the land grabbers will be dead, and
the good which they could not prevent
will be in the enjoyment of the public
