A Body md Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too intimately allied for the one to
suffer without the other, SO that dyspepsia and
dependency are inseparable. 1t may be add
ed, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation of the
temper.
The iuvigorating and tranquillzing opera
ton of Hos1etter's Bitters is most powerfully
developed in cases of indigestion. The first eff
feet of this agreeable tonic is comforting and
encouraging. A mild glow pervades the sys-
tenn, the chronic uneasiness in the region of the
stomach is lessened, and the nervous restless
ness which characterzes the disease is abated.
1t is not succeeded by the return Of the old
symptoms with superadded force, as is always
the case when unmedicated stimulants are given
for the complaint. Each dose seems to impart
a permanent accession of healthful invigoratiOn.
But this is not all. The aperient and antibili-
Gus properties of the preparation are scarcely
secondary in Importance to its tonic virtues
If there is an overflow of bile the secretion is
soon brought within proper limits; and if the
bieary organ is inert and torpid is toned and
regulated. The effect upon the discharging or
gans is equally salutary and in cases OF consti-
patton the cathartic action is just sufficient to
produce the desired result gradually and with
out pain: The Bitters also promote healthy
evaporation from the surface which is particu-
larly desirable at this season when sudden spells
of raw, unpleasant weather, are apt to check
the natural perspiration and produce conges-
ton of the liver, coughs and colds. The best
safeguard against all diseases is bodily vgor, and
this the great Vegetable Restorative essentially
promotes.

BGA meeting of Confederate officers and
soldiers was held in Richmond on Thursday
night of last week, in the First Presbyterian
Church. The edi6ce was crowded to over
flowing. At I o'clock Gen. Bradley T. john
son called the meeting to order, and upon his
motion, Gen. Jubal A. Early was elected
temporary Chairman. Gen. Early, on tax
ing the chair, paid an eloquent tribute to the
memory of him whom he described as "the
greatest and noblest Of men" then Mr.. Jeffer-
son Davis was called to preside over the meet
ing and made an address. Resolutions were
passed in favor of All association to erect q
monument at Richmond to the memory of
Robert E. Lee, as an enduring testimonial Of
our love and respect and devotion to his fame.
Generals John S. Preston, John B. Gordon
and Henry A. Wise and William Henry Pres
ton and Colonels Robert E. Withers and
Charles Marshall delivered eloquent and ap-
propriate speeches, and argued that Richmond
is the proper place for the final interment of
the remains of General Lee.

Missouri line is also done that there are only
wanting some thirty miles of track-laying to
open the entire grand line between st. Paul
and St. Louis This will be done in a few
weeks, and before the close of the year, the
great work will be accomplished, and the d.
rect line of $50 miles between these two great
commercial cities of the West will be in full
operation. Upon this line (uow practically

Central Iowa Railroad and Bonds.

The rapidity with which railroads are built
in the Western States is something that our
eastern people are not accustomed to see. We
have heard much, during the past year, of the
prospects and progress of the Central Rail-
road of Iowa, whose route traverses the State
from north to south, through the most thickly
settled and largely productive sections of that
rich State. The names of eminent capitalists
of the east were associated with the enterprise,
and it was announced that the road should be
pushed through with all practicable speed.
without depending for funds upon sales OF the
Company's securities. This promise has been
made good. Twelve thousand tons of the
very best iron was bought, paid for and ship
ped to the line three thousand men and
teams s,were put to work the President Of the
road remained upon the ground to see that
nothing halted the construction an abundant
supply ofthe best rolling stock was contract
ed for, and during the summer and autumn
months the rails have been advancing from
point to point, and new stations have been
opened in rapid succession, each one contri-
buting its valuable quota to the business of
the road. The grand result is becoming mani
fest. The road is now finished from Marshall
town, near the centre Of the State, to the
Minnesota line, and cars are now running
regularly between St. Paul and Marshalltown,

Barnes Compton, in brief but pertinent intro
duct"ry remarks, organized the meeting by
nominating to the Chair Judge John f. Gar
diner, who appropriately acknowledged tt Q
compliment and introduced the first speaker.
R. H. Edelen, Esq. Mr.. Elelen was followe !
by Mr.. Jonathan Waters, tcolored speaker
from Baltimore;) Mr.. Waters concluded, the
dinner was announced, the band played a
march and all partook of the plentiful supply
Of refreshments, which had been provided and
were we'll served up. After dinner A. G.
Chapman, Esq, opened the evening part of
the programme and was followed by Eugene
Digges, Esq. By the time Mr.. Digges had
concluded his speech night was upon US, and
after "Home, Sweet Home," by the band, the
crowd quietly dispersed. The band played
appropriate airs after each speech. The
speakers all acquitted themselves in a manner
creditable to themselves and pleasing to The ir
large audience, and were not deferred from
a free expression, in all respects, of their views
on the Issues of the campaign by the misera-
bic Efforts several times made on the part of
the RAIDS to "kick up row." In the even
ing, and, indeed, until late at night, the band
was engaged in sereuading some of our citi-
zens who have been prominent in the cause.
During the day the procession halted in front
of our Office and gave three cheers for "THE
'rInEs," which compliment we cannot but
acknowledge with heartfelt thanks.

Died, October goth, at the residence of her
parents, VICTORINE R., third daughter of
j. J. and V. R. HUGHES, in the 7th year Of her
age.
Another of Gods little children, pure and
spotless as the snowy wreath we placed upon
her coffin, has gone to her happy home in hea-
ven, where, joined by angel voices, she sings
in endless praise of Him who made her. Alas,
how sad that those we love and prize the most
should be the first we lose 0, cold whitening
hand of death, how blighting is thy blow !
This lovely child, rich in,all rare endowments
that can adorn the mind and grace the heart
of disposition so gentle, SO affectionate and
so confding, won all hearts to love her, and
gave the brightest promise of a happy, useful
future. That wisdom can be learned from
the mouths of babes'' was well verified by the
subject of this brief tribute. The simple truths
uttered by her infant lips evinced so plainly
the charming beauty of her nature and the
guileless innocence Of her lovely life that it was
indeed 'sthe heart that magni6ed her life maxi
ing truth and beauty of it's own" No mat
ter how ardent the love, no matter how great
the loss or how deep the grief, let us not ques-
ton the inscrutable ways of Him, who gives
and takes. 1t was He who sent the awful trial,
it is for us to accept the mandate OF His will
and humbly bend beneath His chastning rod,
for He alone can give the grace to bear the
burthen and heal the bleeding heaIt.

OBITUARY.

Died. on the 28th ultimo, of consumption, at
the residence of her uncle, Mr.. JOHN NEwBER-
RY, of Charles county, Miss JANE S. CAR
RINGTON, daughter of Mr.. SAMUEL CARRING-
TON, in the 32d year of her age.
Confirmed in 1868; bright christian de-
voted to her church and generous beyond
others to the extent of her means there were
circumstances in the death of this young lady
calculated to rob death of much Of its gloom.
as one OF ffuth anecfion. She wished not to
leave fond and loved ones behind but she had
no fear of death. For her he had no appalling
terror She knew that her peace had been
made with God through the precious blood of
her Saviour; and that whensoever it should
please God to take her hence he would receive
her into the realms of the blessed, "who rest
from their labors." On the last visit of her
Pastor to her sick bed, he conversed much with
her about the Paradise of the blessed dead
Then it was, that without trace OF sadness on
her features, she related to him her dream a.
bout her own coffin III dreamed it was beau
tiful coffin decked with flowers, and angels
stood beside it' And when soon after he
came again, called to attend the last sad fune-
raj rites, there indeed was her pretty coffin
decked with flowers, while one little bouquet
still more beautiful lay on her snow white
bosom, which now rested from its quick and
painful heavings. He could not indeed see
heavens lovely messengers Though they may
have stood by all insensible); but his eye was
arrested by the sight of three angel figures em-
bossed on each handle of the coffin. Two stood
on either side leaning over, and as if peering
into the open book of the Gospel which rested
on what seemed the Ark Of the Covenant. The
third one was on the middle Of the handle, in
the posture of flying, as if winging his flight to
Heaven with the news that one more saint was
on her way to the Paradise of the blessed dead.
AS an appropriate ending of this brief no
tice copy the favorite words of the hymn she
so much loved
sTJesus can make dying bed
Soft as the downy pillows are,
While on His breast lay my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there"

NelnoeDatAA Mass Meeting and Barbecue.
Monday last was gala day in Port Tobac-

ing all that day. The shouts, the cheers, the
martial music, the loud hnzzahs, the thronged

the Mass Meeting and Barbecue that day held
under Democratic auspices. The next days
setting snn would close up the contest, and
thh WAS the last rally for the morrows fight.
The Rads.hsd held high carnival on the Sa-
turday previous, their gathering was large
and imposing, the auent King spoke in fam
ing style and Mr. James A. Gary tried to en-
teftain bis crowd. Finding that the Demo-
Gratis had issued call for Mass Meeting and
barbecue, on Monday, they directed their
band to remain until that day, and themselves
issued call 10 thesable sons to come on Mon

The War I'm EurOpc.

From data furnished by an American cor
respondent at Versailles, it would appear that
the military status of the French is far from
hopeless, while the situation of the Prussians
their demands According to this exhibit
Paris, in the first place, is impregnable, and
is fully supplied with two months provisions,
while Gen. Trochu has 250,000 men fit for
offensive service in the field. Then. outside
of Paris, there are the armies of the Loire,
100, 900 strong, under Paladin of the west,
100000 strong, under Keratry; of the Rhone,
10000, under Michel: of central France,
10000, under Tripbaut; Of the north, 65, 900,
under Bourbaki; and of the Vosges, $4,000 /;
making total Of $50, 900 men, all well arm
ed, and fully supplied with everything need
full, to say nothing of the numerous bands of
Franc-tireurs and sharpshooters operating in
an independent fashion, On the other hand,
the Prussians who are besieging Paris are
charged with daily sick list Of about 800 10
every 1000 men; their recraiting power is
believed to be at halt, their last recruits be-
ing nearly all boys under nineteen years Of
age. In spite Of these and other disadvan-
tages, however, the Prussian armies continue
to operate vigorously in the interior, but if
the foregoing figures are not merely an idle
boast, it will be simply wonderful if the
French have not the better bargain before the
last of December.
A statement Of: the details of the negotia-
tions of M. Theirs, said to be made on good
authority, represents that the chief points OF
discussion were the revictualing of Paris, and
the proposition for the people Of Lorraine and
Asace to vote, both Of which were persistent
y rejected by King William. NJ. Theirs is
said to be of the opinion that the Prussians
will not lombard Paris on account of the pub
lie sentiment against it, but will shell the forts
and make attacks n force.

Phosphate Of Lime I'm Medicine.

A French author has recently written
work to impress upon physicians the impor-
tauce of administering phosphate of lime in
their practice. He processes to prove that
this substance is, above all others, the natural
supplement of the function of nutrition that
by its action the albuminous matter is made
to take the form Of cellular, and that it pre-
sides over the organization of the tissues that
is to say, it is pre-eminently the agent of nu-
triton. The lacto-phosphate Of lime is also
recommended very strongly, as an active a.
gent in medicine; and in the distinctness Of
its action and tile positiveness Of its effects, it
claims to be ranked with promide Of potassium
and chloral as one of the most valuable con-
tributions of chemistry to the healing art
made during the present century.

was destroyed by fire on Monday night last.
The house was owned by Mr.. Chinn, and
the stock of goods by Mr.. Daniel Payne
The loss of Mr.. Payne is estimated at about
$4,000. The building, we understand, was
a new one, and is supposed to have been set
on fire by some malicious person.
