Let Common Sense Decide.

What is the rational mode of procedure in
cases of general debility and nervous prostra-
tionl Docs not reason tell us that judicious
stimulation is required. To resort to violent
purgation in such a case is as absurd as it would
be to bleed starving man. Yetit is done every
day. Yes, this stupid and uRphilosophical prac-
tiee is continued in the teeth of the great fact
that physical weakness, with all the nervous
disturbances that accompany it, is more GER
tainly and rapidly relieved by Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters than by any other medicine at pres
emit known. 1t is true that general debility is
often attended with torpidity or irregularity OF
the bowels and that this symptom must not be
overlooked. But while the discharge of the
waste matter of the of the system is txpedited
Bitters do Uoth. They combine aperient and
anti.bihons properties, with extraordinary tonic
powor Even while removing obstTnctions
from the bowels, they tone and invigOrste thuss
organs. Through the stomach upon which the
great vegetable specific acts directly, 1t gives a
healthy and permanent impetus TO every eniee

Collector Bailey, let them read in

lector Bailey, we desire our readers
to understand that he is guilty Of no
defalcation whatever. He used the
public money to convict defaulters
against the public revenue, with the
knowledge and consent Of his superb

should be reimbursed. The amount
so employed was about 100000; the

This new secret order which Is in
creasing SO rapidly In popularity and
numbers, Is something with which
the public has not become much ac-
quainted. The Cheyenne A,yus
gives the following as the history,
organization, and purpose Of the
institution:
"In ancient history occurs the
names Of two personages whose char !
acteristics have made their names
fraught with interest to succeeding
generations. Damon and Pythias,
two celebrated Syracusans, exhibited
In most striking illustration, the
devotion Of a true and noble friend
ship. Pythias had been condemned
to death by the tyrant Dionysius,
and a brief period before the time set
for his execution, he requested 4
temporary release, in order toarrange
his affairs, promising to procure a
friend to take his place II he failed to
return. His nOblefriend Damon was
imprisoned in his stead, and Pythias
returned to his home. Here he was
entreated by his relatives to remain
and live, by the sacrifice Of Damon.

The Washington correspondent OF
an Indiana paper has been inyesti-
eating the subject Of mileage. lie
recalls the fact, which everybody has
forgotten, that no sooner had the
Republican party come into power
than the mileage paid . members OF
Congress was cut down one half,
that is, from forty to twenty cents
per nile. The total reduction OF
mileage, however, as the figures
show, has been a great deal more
than half.
In 1859 there was paid to Senators
s7J,0ll as mileage. In 1869, with
six more Senators, there was paid
S39, 3l2.40, difference Of s46, 597 go.
or course, the question arises, how
IL II, that with more Senators, the
total mileage Is nearly $4,000 less
than half what IL used to be?-The
correspondent thus explains the
mystery:
sfen,bors NJ Congress certify to the
number or miles they travel, and
their word Of honor has usually been
deemed sufficient. According to
their certificates, then, these old ia
theirs Of Israel travelled good many
more miles than their Republican
successors; and my heart fairly bied
for the virtuors old gentlemen, when
| noticed their long and weary search
for this historic spot, on the banks of
the placid Potomac. There was
johnson of Arkansas; when he was
Senator 1t was four thousand miles
from Little Rock to Washington and
back. Now II is not so much by a
thousand miles at least, so says Rice,
his Republican successor. Think OF
poor Green, Of Missouri, trainping
three thousand five hundred miles
to reach tho capital, while Drake
meanly cuts 1t across lots, and saves
one thousand five hundred miles,
the former coming up Mt n cost to the
people Of 81 400, the latter for less
than $500. We used to pay that
eminent diplomatist, Gwinn, Of CAL
ifornia, nearly $1,000 for coming to
Washington. We get Cole, a Re-
publican, here for $l,3OO.--It cost us
$500 every time that shining Demo
crat, Jesse d. Bright, turned his face
to the capital; but Morton comes
down for 1856 year. Graham N.
Fitch, of Indiana, had very weary
time Of 1t, for he travelled 2, 1856 miles,
and finally reached Washington,
after much suffering, at a national
expense Of sl,l40. Pratt, though
living In the same town, discovered
some wonderful route 1900 miles
shorter, and SO we get him here and
back again, heavy as he is, for $780,
20. The great and good man, ID.
Turpic, when he had the misfortune
to be Senator for few days, wan
dered about like lost sheep, until
finally his eyes were gladdened at
the sight OF the dome, after having
travelled 2,63G miles. Colfax, Pack
ard and others, make the same dis
lance from Northern Indiana to the
capital from 500 to 900 shorter than
did Turpie. Davis, the great and
costly Jefferson, Travelled 400 miles
every time he came up to the capital,
and charged US $1,000 for the trip.
Revols, blacker, but more modest,
living LOO miles further away, cuts
across tho country 1000 miles near
or, and charges 1900 for the job.
These. figures are from the official
records, and challenge contradiction.
