Three Reuuisites Of Health.

If all the sickly people in the world were to take
to their beds, and demand medical treatment, there
would not be doctors enough to attend them nor
a sufficient number of the robust to nurse them.
Three conditions absolutely essential to health
viz. good appetite, easy digestion, and the abil
ity TO sleep soundly. Seven. eighths of the many
thousands who suffer from indisposition, yet do
not labor under serious disease, complain that
they can't eat" that their stomachs are s. out of
ORDER" or that they don't sleep we'll" For this
class of ailments few persons think of calling in
physician. Nor is it necessary, ipasmuch as a
course of Hostetter's Bitters will certainly relieve
the arrangements of the stomach, the liver and
indigestion and sleeplessness arise. This excellent
vegetable tonic and corrective is also delightful
anodyne. Insomnia Tor incapacity to sleepy
which has resisted all the ordinary remedies, will
yield readily to dose of this pleasant sedative
taken just before retiring to rest In ordinary
medical practice it is usual to give stomachic, an
aperient an invigorant, sOpOrifc, or On antisep-
tic, as the case for the time being may seem more
particularly to require; but in this grand restora-
tive all these medicinal properties and many 9TH
ers are blended in due proportion. Thus, the d.
gestion is stimulated, while the bowels are regu-
lated, the liver toned, the strength recruited, the
nerves Gained, the fluids purified and the circular
ton equalzed 1t is believed that there is no 9TH
restorative and regulating medicine in the world
which acts so benefcially and agreeably upon all
the assimilating and secretive organs at the same
time; and to all who lack the three fundamental
requisites of health and enjoyment, v1gorout
appetite, sound digestion and refreshing sleep,
is confidently recommended as specific. m

Bathing.
BY AN EMINENT PHYSICIAN.

|.ltf -. p
I BATHING may be practised for pleasure,
for cleanliness, and for health There is
no more pleasurable excitement than the
bait, yproperly prepared and arranged.
In our climate, it is only in the summer
that the luxury of bathing in the sea or
lake or river can be INDUCED in, and then
only for a limited period. 1t is health
full sport to all classes, but especially to
the young, when judiciously managed,
combining, as it does, vigorous exercise of
all the muscles of the limbs in gently
resisting medium which surrounds and
envelopes the body. Bathing for pleasure
requires that the water should be of an
agreeable temperature; it must neither be
too hot nor too cold, and this win be de-
termined very much by the health of the
individual. To a robust person in nude
state, the cold water of the lake and sea

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN,

All women know that it is beauty, rather than
shipped in the sex. Can 1t be wondered at, then,
that SO much of woman's time and attention
should be devoted to the means of developing
and preserving that beauty Women KIN ow, too,
that when men speak of the intellect of women,
they speak critically, tamely, coolly; but when
they come to speak of the charms Of beautiful
woman, their language and their eyes kindle
with an enthusiasm which shows them to be pro-
foundly, If not, indeed, rdiculously, in earnest.
1t is part of the natural sagacity of women to
perceive all this, and therefore employ every al
lowable art to BECOME the goddess of that adora-
the arts employed by women for enhancing their
beauty there still stands the eternal FACT that the
world does not prefer the society of an ugly wo-
tual requirements. The world has yet allowed n
higher mission to woman than to be beautiful,
and 1t would seem that the ladies of the present
extremes than ever, for all women now to whom
nature has denied the talismanic power of beauty,
supply the deficiency by the use of most delight.

this country by GEORGE w. LAIRD, delicate

tined to play larger part in the admiration of
men and the ambition Of women than all the arts
employed since her creation. Prof. G. r. Chand-

has recently prepared chemical analysis Of
this delightful toilet preparation, and reported
that the ''Bloom of Youth was harmless, con-

DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN VERMONT.
Towns Going Democratic for the
First Time I'm Ten Years-MOnt-
peIfer shows Over $50 Democrat
Ic Gain.
Itch TO the Boston Post. |


Special Dispatch to the Boston Post.l
MONTPELIER, W., September 6.-The
election returns thus far look frst-rate
compared with former years In this
town, the capital Of the State the Dem.
ocratic vote for Governor is l67 larger
than ever before, while the Republicans
are over 200 short of their vote in 1868.
The Republican nominee for the Legis-
lature in this town had but nine more
votes than was necessary to choice,
against over 300 majority within few
years For the first time in seven years
Mortified has gone Democratic, giving
clear Democratic majority of twenty
seven, and eleeting Hon. ID. w. Hadley
to the Legislature. Hoxbury elects a
Democrat to the Legislature, too, giving
Il. N. Spaulding seventeen majority, the
first time in nine years. A. II. Holt,
Democrat, is elected from Berlin, an
other town in this county, not before
having gone Democratic since 1860.
Duxbury is also for us, electing j. Rid
ley. Swanton, one of the most impor-
tant towns in the State, gives sixty-six
majority for the Democratic ticket, hav-
ing been thoroughly Republican. Orange
goes Democratic for the first time
in many years, and the same is true of
many other towns. Yet others, strongly
Republicans in former years, are very
close THE. Middlesex gives only ma
jority, Worcester Z, and so on, for the
Republicans. In almost every town the
Democratic vote is increased, while the
Republicans do. not begin to hold their
own. The great tidal wave of Democratic
success has reached even Vermont, and
though we have no decisive victory in a
national point of view, yet the result in
Vermont is indicative of what is going on
in the country. The Democrats are feel
ing well here tonight In twenty-five
towns our vote is over Is per cent larger
than last year, while that of the Repub-
icans is not half that.

THE WOMAN WHO DIES.
A Strange Case of Mesmerlc Infiu.
ence, or Something Else.
-. A. DE- dnoah KantnoLian

On Sunday evening last, in company
with Mayor Sauner and DIR. Brooks, we
visited the house of Mrs. Lewis, who
lives in one Of the Stovall cottages, on
Clay street. We there found the wife Of
Mr.. Pell in singular condition. She is
about twenty-five years old, full medium
size, was married about eighteen months
ago in an adjacent State, and came to
Paducah some eight months ago to re.
side. She has child three months old.
-Four weeks ago she was indisposed, and
continued so. Nothing serious was ap-
pretended until last Wednesday night,
when she was taken with commissions,
each one lasting from five to ten minutes.
She would then have an interval of quiet
| for fifteen or twenty minntes, and then
another convulsion. This condition con-
tinued for about twelve hours, and left
her in singular state, being apparently
unconscious of every thing and every
one around her She has had lucid in
tervals at about one o clock, both in the
day and night, which lasts but few
minutes. In the meantime she has slept
but very little. She talks, rubs her
hands, and at times looks pleased; at
other times she has sorrowful, woe
begone expression, and will burst into
| tears.
Mayor Sauner had friend, Mr..
Lewis, who died in this city about eleven
years ago with consumption. On Sun
day evening he sat down by this Mrs.
Pell and took hold of her hand, when
she Immediately commenced acting the
4 - r.. ha t.l aI
just as he did, using the same actions
and identically the same language,
which it was impossible for her to have
heard from any source, as Mr.. Lewis
could only talk in whisper, and Mayor
Sauner had to put his ear close to his
mouth to hear what he said; and he de-
clares positively that she repeated the
expressions of the dying man, whichno
person heard but himself, and which he
has never repeated. But what adds to
the singularity of the case is the fact
that she acts in every respect, with the
positions of head, hand and body, as the
dying Lewis did, and in appearance dies
away as he did, her eyes becoming set
and her pulse becoming almost extinct;
but in moment afterward she arouses
herself up, the color returns to her face
and the pulse becomes strong and nat
ural again.
Another case. A woman visited her a
few days since who had lost child that
suffered intensely while dying Mrs. Pell
had known nothing of this child, yet
when its mother came into her presence
she screamed, acted like and apparently
died off as the child had done. We were
informed of other instances of the same
kind, and it is certain that she could not
have had any knowledge of any of the
cases, as it is less than year since she
first came TO Paducah.
We can give no satisfactory solution
of this extraordinary case, and if it can
not be accounted for by attributing it to
something like mesmerism, we give it up
as an inexplicable mystery beyond com
prehension

BE KIND.

In the morning of spring time, in the gay
crowded street,
With tempests and struggles in life's battles
you'll meet;
Though honors await you. and prosperity il

Be constant in friendship, be faithful and
kind.
Though friends may forsake you, and the
world on you frown;
Though slander pursues, anu you are Knocked
at when down;
The star of your destiny yet brightly will
shine
If you are constant In friendship, faithful and
kind.
The friends you have chosen, and their option
you've tried,
With them you must battle in life's stormy
tide.
Clasp hold of the helmet; tits gift so sub
lime,
To be constant in friendship, faithful and
kind.
Then life Is battle, from boyhood you begin
To meet with dark billows, though surely you
must win.
If the friends you have chosen are lasting as
time,
To you they'll be constant, il to them you are
kind.

The 81. Louis Republican gives the
origin of Mr. Clements nom de plume
Of Mark Twain thus: Clements used
to write up-river items and occasionally
squibs for the Republican, and having
written humorous sketch of an old
river pilot, he inquired of John Morris,
now steward of the Belle Memphis, what
name he should sign TO il. One of the
deck hands, at the time happening to be
heaving the lead, hallooed out Mark
Twain, meaning the depth Of the wa
ter, when Clements exclaimed; " That's
il, Marx Tvain's nay name" This
sketch, with his new name, Mark
Twain" at the bottom Of It, found a
place in the river department Of the Re-
publican. It proved decided hit, and
was extensively copied by Western jour
nails.
