So-and-so has just discovered a medicine which is
panacea for all the Ills that flesh is may be heir
to- These wonderful" discoveries usually have an
existence of few months, then disappear from
public notice. The reason Of their sudden extin-
gushment is apparent. They were humbugs. At
the outset all medical preparations. have an equal
chance for success as all arc equally unknown; but
the chan is soon winnowcd from the grain by the
practical test which an unprecedented public applies
to all things. There are but few preparations Of
medicine which have wlthstood the impartial judg-
ment OF the people for any length of time. One Of
the few which we have now In mind, and which has
been long time familiar to nearly every household
in the land is the celebrated IIoseters Stomach Bit

emphatic endorsement from all portions of the

mended. Letters before us attest their efficacy In
diseases of the throat, bowels and liver In that

LITERATURE AND JOURNALISM,

Who Il. r." may be we know not. But she
has written several stories, of which two, bound
in limo volumes, and entitled respectively,
Idle Words" and rs She Hath Done What She
Could, are on onr table. The latteris pleasant
narrative of rural life, designed to convey the
lesson of doing what good lies next our hand,
however inopportulcly the call for such labor
may seem to be. A simple county lass, Ailsie
Gordon, is the central figure of the story, and
her goodness to a poor ontcast mother and her
baby forms the main feature of the plot. This
is not, as we understand, prepared especially for
Sabbath Schools, but we take it to be most I'm
exceptionable for those of all denominations, as
well as an excellent little volume, entertaining
and improving, for the circles of Home.
idle Words" is longer, and calculated, pro-
badly, to inspire greater degree of interest in
the reader. An engaged couple, Donald Murdoch,
and Rhoda Lindsay, are parted, by her choice,
because she finds that he has permitted himself
to believe that she was guilty Of the theft of
some money. After seven years, her innocence
being plain, he begs her love, once more, and
the last page leaves them i'll the promise Of full
reconciliation. From the hurried reading which
we have given the little volume, it seems to be
of extraordinary simplicity in style, and purity
| in character, and we think those of our readers
whose tastes incline to the paths Of instructive
and unsensational fiction, will be really pleased
by the story 1t has much the air of some of oul

CORRESPONDENCE.


Mrssps. EDIrons Permit us to thank you
for the justice done the colored people Of this
city in your presentation of the facts relating to
the troubles OF last Monday night, and Tuesday.
And yet we might be permitted to say, you might
with truth, have stated the case even more
strongly in the colored peoples behalf.
You say you beliere " that the colored people
simply defended themselves against the attacks
of gangs Of rowdies." There are hundred Wit
nesses who will say they knoto. Even those
Democrats who took exceptions to your state
| ment, Tuesday, admit that the "Old Church
rowdies," had no business at the National Hall,
on Walnut street, on Monday night, and that
mitted, all is admitted-for the same "gang"
| came to renew the attack on Tuesday.
Speaking of the fight at noon, you say, Nov
amongst the colored men, there was crowd
and reckless as the white roughs and they, en-
| couraged by their previous success, and infiu-
enced by anger and whisky, were spelling for .
| fight" all the afternoon.
| This all sounds very reasonable; but what ARE
the facts LIST. That only -four or five colored
men were "pretty DRINK" and not a crowd " ;
| I'd. That those of the colored mon who usually
get pretty drunk, were sober, Tuesday and Sd,
That drunk" or sober, they made no attack I'M
| til attacked by others.
| Now word in regard to what you term the
"last and most serious riot" We trust it was
"the last" This, you say, was " brought on
| partly by these drunken ones" This Is q grave
error. Respectable colored men had sue
| ceeded in getting the whole of the colored men
to leave and they were moving up Walnut street
toward the National Hail. and would have gone
on tbither but for another dastardly attack from
belinda concerted attack, we learn, by parties
who had twice before attacked the colored peo-
pie. A brick was thrown, and them and then
only, did the colored men return. If in this,
persons were injured, the responsibility rests,
not upon the coored people, but upon those
who attacked them. As to Mr. Poynter, highly
respected gentleman, it is still uncertain whether
he was struck down by the colored or the white
men, for he was between both.
You say that at night " scarcely colored man
was to be found in the Streets" This speaks
well for their desire for peace. They attacked
nobody; they will attack NO one; they make no
threats they invite no conflict; they are seek
ers of peace but If attacked, they can die.
Very Respectfully and Truly,
+. S.--We learn that colored man was at
tackled last night, near It'll and Walnut streets,
and brutally beaten; that another was knocked
down at 8th and Market and another threatened
the night before, but the assaiants went away
worse than they came. 1t is the same spirit as
that which hooted at and followed U. s. District
Attorney, Higgins, in the First Ward, on Tues
day; and it behooves the City officers, and the
law-abiding citizens to stand on the defensive.

bachelor of Quaker descent. He earned all his
property of S7000,000, million and half of

will be placed by Mr. Hopkins at the disposal Of
trustees, already selected, to found the James
