An Old FaIIacy Exploded.

Thirty or forty years ago. ii was the fash
ion to administer powerful purgativcS as
"Spring medicines" Terrific doses OF salts
and SIENNA, calomel and ialap, or glaubcr
salts were given TO all the members of q
family, whether sick or well, by way of pre-
parinG them for the warm weather in pros
pect. This perniciOuS custom is nearly
obsolete. but there are some old BourbonS
Of private life, incapable..alike of forgetting
anything or learning anything, who obSti-
natcly cling to it still. Nothing could he
more pernicious, more utterly unphilOsoph-
ical, than such an onslaught on the vigor
and elasticity of the system. In order TO
enable the physical structures to resist the
enervating effects of spring damps and sum-
mcr heats, it should be toned and reinforced,
not relaxed and weakened. The best med
cine agent for this purpose is HOStetter'S
Stomach Bitters. It's effect is To tone the
stomach and liver, gently relieve the bowels
from distractions, brace the nerves, I'M
prove the quality of the blood, stimulate
the appetite and cheer the spirits. In this
improved condition the organization is
capable of resisting unhealthy influences,
which would prOStrate an enfeebled system.
vigorous digestion is absolutely essential

taken regularly as n StOmachic. None of
the tonic tinctureS or extracts viii supply
the place of the BitterS, for the simple rea-
son that they operate as astringents only.
In fact, in ordinary practice, five or six pre-
ScrtptlonS would be required to produce,
separately, the beneficial results, which
are effected simultaneously, and harmoni-
ously by this single specific.

..Tlic House We Live In"

Space forbids our speaking of the bones,
muscles, lungs, brain, nerves, skin, etc. But
consider for Il moment that the average
amount OF blood in an adult is thirty
pounds, or about one-tifth of the body'S
weight. AT each beat of the heart two and
a-half ounces of blood are thrown out of it;
one hundred and seventy-five ounces per
minute; six hundred and fifty six pounds per
hour: seven and threc-fOurths tons per day.
All the blood in the body passes through
the heart in three minutes and distributes
the nutritivc principle to every texture
and the source of every secretion. Now, If
the blood is weak and impure, the danger
of mourning disease is imminent. This is
certain to he its condition, mo . or less, at
this period of the year. And just here We
are admOniShed of the superior advantages
of MISHLER'S HERB BITTERS for cleans
ing and rcnovating the blood. This it will
always do, and also prevent any disease
arising from impure blood, because 1t re-
moves the cause. Begin at once TO purify
your blood with this great tonic, and thus
ward of disease before it entrenches itself
in your system. mas

At the election of local officers in
Warrington, last week, the whole anti
license law ticket was elected by ten
majority.
II. s. Walker, Esq, was in Point
Pleasant lastweek, soliciting subscribers
for his new paper at Charleston, and We
are pleased to learn received fine list
of them.
Mr.. o. s. Long, agent of the Etna

was at Point Pleasant last week for
several days.
On Wednesday last, Mr.. II. D. Nc

Cuban Affairs.
nation

General JORDAN, Colonel COSTELLO,
Major BETANCOURT and other officers,
all of the Cuban army, have arrived in
New York. They report the Cuban
cause to be in better condition than at
any previous stage, and that the success
of the revolution depends only on time,
Supplies and considerable arms and
ammunition have been safely received
from abroad, and much has been taken
from the enemy. The stock OF ammu-
milton on hand is sufficient for the pres
ent needs of the Cuban army, which
numbers about ten thousand men equip
ped. The artillery is sufficient for the
present method of warfare, and consists
chiefly of mountain howitzcrs. The
season is now in favor of the revOlu-
tionists, giving them what they most
need-time for organization and collec-
ton of supplies. The rainy season re-
tards Spanish operations, and when over
the heat of summer will prevent the
Spaniards from pushing the war.
Colonel CosrILio is a wealthy planter
of the interior, who is thoroughly ia
miliar with all the resources Of the rev
olution, and says it has never been as
strong as its friends claim nor as weak
as the Spaniards assert, but he regards
the situation at prcscntaltogether hope
full.
This is certainly very tlattering ac-
count of things in Cuba, but we confess
to little faith in the glorious rep

Am .Arroxant,' Committee.

THE recent call of the Republican
Executive Committee for State Con
.yention does not seem to give satisfac-
ton to some of the Republican journals.
The Morgantown Post speaks very
plainly of how the ambitious states
men" who drew that.instrument have
"interpolated advanced views into it,
contrary to the wishes of the party.
Here is what it says:
From the location of the Central
Committee, with the exception of Mr..
Sinsel, it was to be expected that the
views OF certain ambitious statesmen
would be interpolated into the call
This attempt at forestalllng puoiic
opinion is unfortunate, as the questions
to be determined are Of very delicate
character and will have 70 bemampu'
lated with great care, or the result
will be disastrous in the State. II
would have been better if the
whole subject had been left to the
unbiased judgment of the people, who
would have acted through their dele
gates in the interests of Republicanism.
As it is, the matter is hurdened with an
implied banter to the opponents of GER
tain so-called advanced views which
met tragic fate on the fields of Ohio
county last fall. The Central Commit
tee is the creature of the people, and II
is not for it to arrogate to itself the de
termination of a line of policy to be
pursued by a convention of which 1t Is
a mere adjunct"
Those gentlemen Of the Committee
did arrogate" to themselves much
when they extended special invitation
to the negroes TO meet them in thcii
meetings and conventions, and the in
vitation sets bitterly upon the diges
tive organs of their party. But all o
them will have to bear it as best they
can, for having amalgatcd with the ne
gro, one extreme only leads to another

The Rising Star of RadicaIism,

The rising and shining light of the
Republican party of this State just now
is Prot. T. J. FEEGUSON, cOlOrcd, OF
Parkersburg At late Fifteenth
Amendment celebration in that city,
the colored orator made a brilliant
speech, and on Friday last at a similar
glorifcation in Martinsburg, he bore off
the oratOrical honors Of the day among
several white contestants. The Radical
papers in Parkersburg and Martinsburg
publish his speeches with high praise
and really manifest fine glow of spir-
its in welcoming such new and shining
recruit to their party. Nodouht in the
coming Radical Convention at Par
kersbug, Professor FERGUSoN will be
the observed OF all observers, and will
be the right bower of the President of
the Convention, if the honor of the
Presidency itself is not showcred upon
hin as a deserved compliment for the
valuable services he is expected to rem
der, and the responsibility which he
brings to his party. Won't that inter
esting occasion present sight for men
and gods to gaze on?
The Republican Elective Committee
of the State must attend to this matter
at Parkersburg. FERGUSON must have
a high seat among the officers Of that
Convention, he must be the leading
orator of the occasion, and we think all
fairness and honesty will require that
he shall be nominated for one of the
first offices Of the State. He and his
race are invited into that Convention
upon perfect equality with the whites,
and as he will be the leading repre-
sentative of some $1,000 negroes in this
State, can there be any excuse for not
giving him crumb ofthe spoils that are
10 be distributed at their table? Will
they be so greedy as to eat all the turkey
and throw the poor negro bone? OF
course the conferment of such honOrs
as these upon negro will be the bit
terest pill that ever party was made to
swallow, first, because they will not like
to part with any Office themselves, and
secondly, because the silk-stocking and
close carriage gentlemen will not fancy
the association. But they have made
the bed themselves and should be made
to sleep on it. They have forced
Prot. FERGUsoNs race into the political
arena, and have given him the ballot,
and the right to all the privileges en-
joyed by white people, Can they ex-
clude him from public Office, or from
the Bar, or from Medical Boards, or
from any other place or profession here
tofore adorned by white men?
They can do no such thing, and they
shall not be permitted to escape the
disgrace and responsibility which at
tach to the monstrous wrong and in
suit they have entailed upon the people
by violence and fraud

New Moral Ideas.

The colored United States Senator
from Mississippi, REvELS, is travelling
in New England, and seems to have
been a lion in Boston last week. The
Boston Journal of Thursday SAYS:
Senator Revels has been engaged
this forenoon in a drive in the suburbs,
and in calling upon various prominent
persons who had invited his presence.
He left the custom house in a four
horse barouche at about ten clock in
company with Collector Russell and
Major Chadwick. As the party came
down the steps the officers and en-
plOves about the custom house and
others, to the number of about two
hundred assembled there, gave the Sen
ator a round of cheers. The party
drove to the State House, where they
were Joined by Governor Clahin, and
proceeded as above stated A visit was
paid to the United States Court House,
where Mr.. Revels was received by Dis
trict Attorney Hillard, and by him was
presented to Judge Clifford and Judge
Lowell and officers of the court. To-
night he goes to Worcester, and to-
morrow evening to New Bedford. He
has accepted an invitation TO be pres
ent at Selwyn's Theatre on Saturday
evening, at the entertainment for the
benefit of Edward w. Kinslcy, Post
ll3, c. A. X. He will occupy one of
the boxes, which has been reserved for
him and hi party"
The Republican State Executive
Committee Of Wheeling is expected to
invite REvELs to pay this city visit
before long, and become the Radical
lion for few days. They will drive
the sable gentleman out in the country
for an airing; and entertain him bril-
liantly in this city.

QUITE an interesting personal and
party quarrel is going on in Parkers
burg between two Republican papers,
the Journal and Times. The former is
very bitter on the Times, and makes
some serious imputations against its
editor, while the latter comes back at
the Journal with the following cOmpli-
mentary epithets:
