TORPID sYsTEM.-sometimes, with
out any assignable cause, tho physical
strength and animal spirits give way, and a
strange torpor falls alike on the body and in
tellect. There is little or no pain perhaps,
but the natural vigor and elasticity Of the
nervous and muscular system seems to have
departed, and an Indifference to the pleasures
OF life, and even of it's grave responsibilities.
takes the place Of that earnest interest in both
which characterizes every well balanced mind
when in q healthy condition.
This state OF partial collapse is often the
Premonltoly symptoms OF some serious ma
lady. 1t indicates unmistakably that the vital
powers are languishing and need a stimulant.
In such cases the effec. of few doses of HOS
IETTERS STOMACH BITTERS is wonder
fully beneficial. The great tonic wakes up
the system from it's browse. The secretions
and the circulation receive a new impetus.
Inc relaxed nerves recover their elasticity
under the operations Of the specific, like the
siackened strength of musical instrument in
the process OF tuning. Lethargy and debi-
hty are replaced by energy and yigor the
spirits rise, and life that almost seemed 4
burden while the season of depression lasted,
becomes once more enjoyable. That such a
radlca! change should be produced by a remc-
dy entirely devoid Of the powerful alkaIoids
and minerals so extensively used in modern
piactice, may seem Incredible to those who
nn:n their faith on the medicinal efficacy OF

THE LONGEST AND TOUGHEST Cock.
FIGHT ON RECORD. cock-fight was re-
Gently contested between two six pound
cocks, owned by Messrs. Mclaughlin and
Wade, of this city, respectively. for 800.
McLoughlin's was blue red, and Wade's
was grey cock, and both birds were in
splendid condition. The odds at the
start were fifty dollars to forty dollars on
the blue-red. When they were let 20
they met with terrible crash; and for
forty minutes fought like devils. without
either appearing tc g.::::H: The slightest ad-
vantage. After an hours desperate strug-
Cling the betting changed in favor of the
grey cook, but when twenty-five minutes
more had elapsed it became even. There
was great excitement during all this time
among the spectators; one minute the
betting would be in favor OF the blue-red
and the next in favor of the grey. Con
sidering the hard fighting, both birds
were very strong on their feet. At the
expiration of one hour and forty minutes
the grey cook lay for dead in the pit, and
the blue-red was declared the winner, but
he too died an hour after his victory. It
was the longest snd hardest cock fight on
record.-NeU York Sun.

uTHE WAY THE MONEY Cons. all
Hsceunts. Washington is gay place this
#nfer, What with balls, dinners, lunch
g, and what not, the extravagance and
display In dress and equipage were never
kef0fs equaled. The President and his
gabihet and certain Senators are living
in style Of imperial luxury which the
paltyy salaries they receive do not begin
seMafrant. There is no difficulty in as
cSftaihing where the money comes from
Do Support all of this magniicence. The
Rgfsident's salary would not pay his
Mlfes millinery and confectionery bills
The carriages and horses in the stables
Oh the White House could not be bought
for his years salary. The insignificant
nay Of the different Secretaries is not
equal to their mode OF life. The same
may be said OF most of the office holding
gentry. They are all living beyond their
legitimate incomes, and sober folks can
nosbut think that the over-taxed people
are paying, through the taxes, for the
music, oysters, boned turkeys, salads,
Investments, wines, and flowers required
every night in the supper circles" of the
capital. All is not 'lovely" when Sc.
oretary gets eight and spends twenty
thousand a year. No wonder the inves.
tigasion of the gold ring corruption
brings TO view so much executive shame.
The capital is, indeed, an Augean ctable.

A Fatal Quarrel.

In Harrison county, Indiana,
somo time ago, Joseph Hines had
been arrested and imprisoned for
killing some pigs belonging to
Stephen Aultman, and has always
since threatened revenge. A few
days ago, he was heard to say that
he would send Aultman's soul to
hell. On thursday he took his rife
and proceeded to field where Ault-
man and his family were at work,
and, without a word of warning,
shot him in the bowels, causing
death in g few minutes. As Ault-
man fell he shouted to his son, q
young man of twenty, that Hines
had killed him. Hines after he
shot him, jumped over the fence,
and clubbing his rife, struck the
dying man, literally crushing the
skull, At this moment Aultman
arrived with hoe upon his shoul-
der. Hines dealt him a savage
blow npon the head, fracturing his
skull. The boy fell to the ground
but held fast to the hoe, and while
lying OF the ground apparently in
convulsions, struck out wildly and
fercely, hitting Hines on the top
of the head, and literally cleaving
his skull in twain. Hines fell dead
near the boys murdered father,
without uttering word.

MIS- CELL NEOUS.
LIQUID Grating Wax.

The following recipe was
furnished to a correspondent,
by B. P, Ware, of Marblehead,
Massachusetts,, who considers
the liquid grating wax invalu-
able. having used it for several
years
''Melt one pound of resin
gently, then add one ounce of
beef tallow stir it we'll, take
it from the fire, cool off a little,
then mix with it one table
spoonful of spirits of turpen-
tine, and add seven ounces of
alcohol, 95 per cent. proof; this
will cool it down 50 rapidly
that it will be necessary to put
it over the fire again, stirring it
constantly, taking care that it
does not infame; remove from
the fire as soon as the lump be-
gins to melt again, and contin-
ue stirring until thoroughly
mixed. 1t will appear like
strained honey. After setting
the scions, apply a thin coat
ing with a small brush; the
wax will soon harden, and it
is impervious to air and water"

Now Listen.

The Radical party prides itself on
"equal and exact justice for all
men," Massachusetts and Rhode
Island are two Radical States over
which that party holds undisputed
political control. Now listcnl In
Massachusetts, fifty thousand white
men are disfianchised by an educa-
tional test; and in the little State
of Rhode Island seven thousand are
disfranchised because they do not
own one hundred and fifty dollars
worth of real estate, Both Of these
States ratified the 18th amendment,
giving negroes the right Of suffrage
without making such test, a requi-
site to the ballot boz. There is
"equal justice" for you, white men.
A poor, lazy, ignorant, ragged ne
gro, who does not own the value OF
the worthless clothes on his back,

whilst ON industrious, intelligent
white man who can not show he is

in Real Estate must stand back

poor white laboring men in ev-

take the alarm and strongly,
firmly, and determinedly organ
ize to resist the importation of
niggers to the county-and be-
fore the Africans are upon

were mostly given to that par

were promised high wages, but
