SPECIAL NOTICES.


Prostration Played Out.-violent
purgatives, emetics. salivants, blistering and
bleeding have had their day. hsn
The sick can no longer be persuaded that
the best way to cure them Is to destroy the lit
tie strength that disease has left them.
Dyspeptics instead Of dosing themselves
with epson salts, aloes, colycinth, jalap, and
other powerful cathartics, tone their digestive
organs and regulate their bowels with Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters.
Persons of bilious habit, instead of throwing
the whole glandular system into state of
morbid irritation with mercurial poison, seek
relief, and find it, in the operation Of that
wholesome vegetable Alternative upon the dis
ordered liver. 81
Nervous sufferers, tremuous, weak and de-
spondent, recruit their shattered enegies with
a course Of the greatest invigorant, and bless
the day when the adulterated liquors Of com
merce were superseded by medicated stimu-
laut, perfectly efficient and entirely harmless.
Travellers by land and sea rejoice in the
possession of an agreeable corrective, which
protects them from the evil effects of malaria,
from sea sickness, and from the disturbing in
fuences of changes Of temperature, and
change of water.
The weak and debilitated feel their strength
return. and their spirits revive under its
bracing, appetizing. gently exhilarating ac-
ton.
1t is the only stimulant which cautious
physicians can conscientiously recommend to
ladies in delicate health, or to the aged and
decrepid.
There is not n city. town or settlement on
the American continet where it is not recog-
nized as household remedy, and safeguard
against epidemics; and, in short. wherever
there is intelligence. prudence and common
sense. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is pro-,
nounced a standard specific, for which, in the
whole range of pharmacy there is no substi-
tute or equivalent. 81

turned to his forge bellows, and tried to

worked FIVE minutes when another crowd

JoYs-THE FAR.-A selfish person
can have no joys greater than his own
interests are valuable; a patriot may
haze joys as great as the welfare of his
country is important; philanthropists
joys may rise as high as the well-being
of the joys is precious; a benevolent
person land every true Christian is one)
may have joys infinitely great; for he
can rejoice in the happiness of God the
infinite, and of all the inhabitants of
earth and heaven, but the jolliest joy of
all is to attend the fair at the Club Hall
for the benefit of St. Bridget's Church.
Votes and chances have commenced
quite lively. There is a saddle to be
voted to the most popular police captain,
a silver set to the most popular candi-
date on the judicial ticket, and a hand
some wrench to the best looking fire COM

beauty and value, they are numerous-a
hundred can be had in five minutes.

Rlawer. the blacksmith.

There is an old darby who makes out
a sort Of living by mending horse-shoes
on working days and preaching whang-
doodle sermons on Sundays. He is
known as Blower, the Blacksmith, and
may be seen at forge on Madison street
blowing a bellows and haranguing a
black audience at the same time. He is
a pretty well educated and shrewd old
chap, and would make far juster Judge
of the Criminal Court than his friend
Hudson. Sometimes he INDUCES in the
most bewildering flights Of fancy; at
other times he is almost rational and
lucid, but at all times he talks on
politics, and his tongue never seems
weary of wagging. In his opinion the
struggles of Iran and Turan, of Greek
and Roman, of Gaul and Teuton, of
Saracen and Christian, of Celt and
Saxon, were nothing in comparison to
the struggles between the Whites,
Blacks, Blues, Greens and Fellows
now in progress. He sides with the
Blacks against the Whites; but
for the Blues, Greens and Yellows
he has no respect He expressed him
self TO the effect that he does not care a
tinker's kiss if this rainbow crowd were
to get into a muss like Homer's frogs
ard mice and have pitched battle, nor
if they were to initiate that celebrated
scratching match known as the Kilkenny
cat fight, in which nothing was left of
the combatants save their tails. The
Radical politicians here he hates, but
takes delight in eulogising such learned
blacks as Fred Douglass and Revels.
He thinks Barbour Lewis an oily knave,
Beaumont shrewd' dodger, Harry S.
Lee a simpleton, and Hudson humbug.
He has no confidence in combination
tickets" and won't vote for any but black
men. "Gemmen,' said he, last evening,
stopping the fogre bellows, and address

about turning to the bellows when a
couple of the darkies commenced laugh
