@HABITUAL CoNSTIPATION-HOW
TO EFFECT A CERTAIN AND PERMANENT
CURE.-Some occupations OF life predlspose to
costlveness especially those which allow but little
exercise. Persons who contract this unfortunate
habit OF body, under such circumstances, might
possibly be relieved by changing their sedentary
employments for others OF more active kind;
but this Is by no means certain. Habltual con-
stipatlon Is very obstinate disorder. All the or
d!nary so.called remedies Invariably aggravate 1t.
Nothing can be more Injurious than the continued
use Of strong aperlents. They ut hrst irritate,
and finally almost paralyze the bowels-render-
ing them so torpid that enormous doses OF cal har-
tic medicines have no effect upon them. mild
aperlent, combined with gentle stimulant Is the
true remedy; and combination in the happest
proportion, OF these Ingredients, is found In HOS
LETTERS STOMACH B1TTERS. This famous
stomachlc invigorates the whole Intestinal canal,
while quietly removing from its conVoutions all

Cases of constipation abandoned as hopeless by
distinguished medical men have been cured in

SIR-Yours OF the Sd instant, informing US Of

collapse Of the flues Of q boiler at the EtiWan
Phosphate Works, was duly received, and we beg
10 report: That, on the 5tn instant, we examined
said boiler, aud found that the fues which had
collapsed were too large IN diameter, and made
OF too thin iron 70 be lin our opln!on) safe under
an ordinary pressure OF steam: They are
teenths OF an lpch thick, and OF good iron. We
would here suy that the weakness OF such nues
arises from the practical difficulty OF making
them perfectly circular In form. We also found
the steam and water communications between
the eXplo led and uninjured boiler I'm our opin-
Ionl budy arranged. Not fndirg sufficient evil
dencc 10 prove that the collapse was caused by
the weakness OF the flues, at the suggestion OF
Mr.. James NJ. EasOn, que OF the firm by whom
the boilers were built, 1t was determined to SUBJ

as 1t Is Of the same form and dimensions as the
one which exploded. This was done yesterday,
(the 9th instantly when one OF the dues collapsed
at eighty three pounds pressure to the square
inch proving concluslvely that the accident was
caused by weakness OF the dues.
All OF which Is respectfully submitted.

The commission also added that the mate
rials of and the workmanship on the boiler was
frSt.rate.
Tie three were then called up and examined in
turn before the jury, 10 whom they explained the
different parts Of their report in detail. In this
examination Mr.. Hewes, who Is United States
steamboat inspector for this port, said that he
would have condemned the boiler In question,
and refused certificate In his official capacity,
upon his instructions from the department, which
requires Nues OF high.pressure boilers tobe never
more than sixteen inches In diameter and less
than a quarter OF an inca thick. Uriah R. john
son was then examined as to the size and make
OF the boilers at the Wando Works, In Hasel
street. likewise made by the firm of James N.
Eason s. Brother.
The bystanders were now excluded and the
Jury, having been left TO themselves, after a
lengthy deliberaton, brought in the following
verdict: "That the deceased, John W. Williams,
came to his death on the 3Oth OF NoycAber, 1870
from injuries received by collapse of the 1ues OF
a boiler at the Etiwan Works on the 2sth OF No.

The Four.

The four conquerors who occupy the
most conspicuous places in the history Of
the world are Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar,
and Bonaparte. Alexander, after having
climbed the dizzy height of his ambition,
with his temples bound with chapets dip
ped in the blood Of millions, looked down
upon conquered world, and wept that
there was no other world for him to con-
quer, set a city on fire and died in scene
of debauch. Hannibal, after having, to
the establishment and CONSERVATION Of
Rome, passed the Alps, and having put to
flight the armies of the mistress of the
world, and stripped three bushels of gold
rings from the fingers of her slaughtered
knights, and made her foundations quake,
fled from his country, being hated by those
who cxultingly united his name to that of
their God, and called him Hanni Baal, and
died at last by poison administered by his
own hand, unlamented and uLwept, in a
foreign land. Caesar, after having con-
qucred eight hundred cities, and dyeing
his garments in the blood of one million of
his foes after having pursued to death the
only rival he had on earth was miserably
assassinated by those he considered his
nearest friends, and in the very place tho
attainment Of which had been his great
ambition. Bonaparte, whose mandate
kings and popes obeycd, after having filled
the earth with the terror Of his name after
having deluged Europe with tears and
blood and clothed the world in sackcloth,
closed his days in lonely Punishment,
almost literally exiled from the world, yet
where he could sometimes see his country s
banner waving over the depot, but which
did not and could not bring him aid.

18th of July. The well known ability of

paper will be an able ally in the cause of

This will make the sixth Republican paper
