I1ealth.s Best Defence.

that eighteen hundred years ago the value OF
medicinal plants was appreciated. In the Old
Testament botanical remedies are repeatedly
recommended, but in no passage of sacred his
tory is man recommended to swallow calomel,
or blue pill, or any other mineral preparation.
The sick were directed to eat herbs to strength

store them. In that day the art of making
vegetable extracts was unknown. The herbal
medicines were mere infusions.
It was reserved for later age to unite the
sanitary essences of tonic, aperient and anti
bilious roots, banks, and plants, with an active
stimulant, and thus secure their rapid diffusion
through the debilitated or disordered system.
The crowning triumph of this effective mode OF
concentrating and applying the virtues OF med
icinal vegetables was achieved in the produc-
ton of Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Never
before had perfectly pure alcoholic stimuian'

finest species of the vegetable kingdom. Never

Wednesdays cable dispatches bring the
news that portion Of the French army has
advanced across the Rhine. Saarbruck,
which they have occupied, is frontier town
of Rhenish Prussia. on the Saar river, on the
direct railway route from Metz to Mayence,
where the Prussian army has been reported
as concentrating, aud at the junction of an
other line running northwestward to Trcves.
1t is therefore position Of considerable stra-
tegical importance. and is only thirteen miles
from Saarlouis, the furthest advanced fortified
town on the Prussian line Of the Rhine. This
movement indicates that the Emperor GER
tainly intends an advance by the Moselle
Valley, the straightest route from Paris to
Berlin, while the reported combined land and
sea attack on the southeastern coast of the
North Sea looks like an attempt on Bremen
aud Hamburg, and the obtaining of posi-
ton in the partially disaffected territory of
Schleswig- Holstein or Hanover. kilograms

Fatal Accident

Early Oh Saturday morning last an accident
occurred at the "Warehouse," near this place,
which resulted in the almost immediate death
eof William j. Scott, son Of Mr.. Joseph Scott,
Of this county. The circumstances, as we
gather them, were as follows: Young Scott,
it appears, was engaged in rolling hogshead
of tobacco from the Warehouse to the waters
edge. In doing this it was necessary to pass
down q slight declivity. After starting the
hogshead the young man ran in front to ar
rest its Roadway and in doing this, stumbled,
and fell, and the huge mass, weighing some
800 or 900 pounds, passed from foot to head
over him. He, however, got up, washed his
face, walked to the house and laid down upon
alounge, remarking at the time that he bad
killed himself. Medical aid was summoned,
but with no avail-death ensuing in less than
two hours after the occurrence of the acci-
dent. The deceased was about 81 years Of
age and highly esteemed by all who knew
him. rs-s7f f.7 IS y .,yg \

NJ. Provost Paradol, Minister of France to
the United States, committed suicide at bis
residence in Washington about one o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The terrible deed was
done while he was laboring under temporary
alteration of mind from excitement occasion
ed by the war complications of Europe, and
the worrying labor AID the undue exposure
to the hot sun he had undertaken in the
emergency. The excessive heat Of the past
few days had Frustrated him greatly, serious
" disturbing his mental faculties. The fatal
act was committed in his chamber, and the
circumstances attending it show that it was
premelitated. s

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

The Baltimore Sun refers to the unfulflled
treaty of Prague, which relates to Denmark,
as more Influential among the occasions OF
the war which has so suddenly broken out
between France and Prussia than the late Ho-
henzolern candidature for the throne of Spain.
which has been made the pretext of war, but
which in reality, except for the secrecy of the
negotiations-a secrecy which has in France
been interpreted to imply unfriendly designs
could scarcely have been pretended to war
rant the responsibility assumed by the French
Emperor in drawing the sword Whilst the
alleged violation Of the treaty of Prague may
be the ground on which the war may be E.
ventualy defended, yet the real reason will
be interpreted as an effort on the part of
France to check the national expansion OF
Prussia, and even to possess once more the
left bank of the Rhine. The New York
Courier DIES Etats Uais, the leading French
paper in the United States, comedies as much
in an article in which it declares that France
has no hatred against Prussia, but that she
has her legitimate influence to maintain, and
that in presence of the exorbitant pretensions
of Prussia, France can only demand guaran-
tees against any possible surprise in the fu-
ture, which guarantees, says the Courier can
only be to make sure of an extension OF the
national boundaries to compensate for the
aggrandizement Of its adversary. Such is the
meaning Of the war now opening, and it cons
tends the right is on its side, that the world
cannot refuse to see it, but France feels it,
and that is enough. ITO the Rhine" adds
the Courier, is the cry of the whole nation.
That France should covet frontier which
she claims is of fourteen hundred years anti
guilty, established by the first of Frankist
kings-themselves, however, the oifshoot of
German tribes-aEd which has been so often
lost and restored, may be natural enough, in
view of the vanity and ambition Of men. If
the Emperor of the French could make the
Rhine, the Pyrenees, the Alps and the ocean
the boundaries of modern France, he would
cover his name with glory, and hope to make
his dynasty secure-a result, however, very
doubtful in any case. Twenty-four thousand
square miles of territory, including the king
dom Of Belgium, and population of niue
miliops would be the product of a compre-
hensive annexation on the left bank of the
Rhine. 1t is difficult, however, to suppose
that Napoleon entertains any such designs, in
view Of the fact that the independence of Bel
GUM is guaranteed by Russia, Prussia, Aus
tria and England, as well as by France. and
that its appropriation would probably involve
all the great powers in the contest. Gener-
ally, and in brief, it may be said that the
leadership Of Europe is the prize for which
the two greatest military powers of the world
are about to contend.

The Crops In Europe.

rains this year, and consequently there will
be no.crops. Everything in the bread line is
Advancing daily in price. The West can
send to Europe all the grain it can spare. In
France, England and all Germany there will
not be half crop, and hay will not be worth

than feed them. There will be great suffer
ing in Europe next fall and winter, and il

Death OF John r. s.edaert.

We regret to learn the death Of Major John
T. Stoddert at his residence, "Wicomico
House." on Tuesday morning last, 18th inst.
at A. M. The deceased was born at Smiths
Point, Nanjemoy, on the 2Sth of October,
1871, and resided In our county until about
. year ago. when he removed to Baltimore,
whence he returneda short time previous to
his death. He was well known in our midst,
having served as member of the State Leg
islature and 10 the National Congress. His
last public service was as member Of the
State Constitutional Convention in 1861, in
which be served with distinguished ability
md zeal. In early life he successfully en-
gagged in the practice Of the law, but his lat
ter years were devoted mainly to literary pur-
suits,

field of his operations was greater in area than
that of France. Prussia. Austria, Italy, Great
Britain and Ireland Such opportunities aud
temptations were never before, in the history
of the world, held out to gang of eager and
hungry cormorants. The means Of covering
up their tracks and concealing their frauds
were ample, and complete. and the means oil
detection imperfect and elusive. The facts
elected have been gotten at with difficulty
and were mainly wrung from reluctant and
unwilling witnesses.
They give but glimpse into the dark and
wicked Vaccinations that can only be fully
revealed when all mankind stand unmasked
at the bar of final accounts. The evidence is
fast disappearing, most of it being in the con-
troll Of those implicated ; and even with q
committee or tribunal anxious to drag these
transactions into the light of day, but COM
paratively small portion of the populations
Of the agents Of the Bureau could now be ex-
posed. That the party which employed this
Bureau as an effective and valuable partisan
agency should now. hesitate to bring its agents
to the bar Of public judgment for their frauds
and evil deeds, and should put obstacles in
the way of those who desire to elicit the truth
is, perhaps, not matter of great surprise
They at least did the party work well for
which they were employed, and their pecula-
tons must now be covered up or winked at
but these evasions will not longer satisfy an
indignant public.
The people are tired of being plundered to
keep any party in power; and those who
have robbed the people of their hard earnings
aud in the name of humanity and Christian
philanthropy have FIRST misled, duped and
debauched. and then swindled the ignorant
negroes, whom they pretended to befriend
caunot always escape just retribution fol

will be the most important that has taken

Steam Boiler Explosion and Fire in Bal
ttmsre City.


An intense excitement was created on o.
Donnell's and McEderry's wharves, in Balti-
more, on Monday last, by the explosion of a
steam boiler in the Maryland Sugar Refinery.
The explosion was terrific. and is supposed to
have occurred from cold water being turned
into one of the boilets while the iron was at
red heat. A piece Of the boiler, weighing a.
bout two hundred and fifty pounds, was
thrown through the northeast door of the to-
bacco warehouse opposite. The entire roof
was lifted from the boiler house and about
two-tbirds of the south wall thrown down.
Several persons were injured, but none very
seriously. The greatest damage resulting
was caused by fire, which, some two hours
after the explosion, was discovered in an adj
Joining building owned by the State and for
merry used as tobacco warehouse, but for
several years past has been used for a storage
of cotton and other merchandise. The cotton
on the third floor having taken fire, burned
with great fury and de6ed the efforts of the
fremen. This building was separated from
Tobacco Warehouses Nos. l and by mar
row alley, and being one story higher than
that next adjoining it, afforded the firemen
room to work from the roof, and keep the fire
from spreading southwardly, where several
hundred thousand dollars worth of tobacco
are stored. The greater part Of the cotton
was on the second and third floors, and bark
and tobacco were on the fourth floor. As
rapidly as possible the cotton was removed
| from the first and second floors and thrown
into the dock, but only about two hundred
bales were saved in that way, and that In 9
damaged condition. At five o'clock in the
afternoon the fire was still smouldering in tht
cotton on the first floor, to which it had fall
en-, and little was left of the building excep
the walls. The damage to the merchandise
was one hundred and forty-eight Thousand
dollars, the whole of which is covered by in
Surance.

to representation in Congress, and that until

State remain under the supervision of the
military, but that Gen. Terry would allow
the Legislature to go on with the enactment
of laws. Majority and minority reports from
the Bullock-Angier COMMITTEES were reported
and read in the House. Both were lald OF
