THE AssEMBLAGE.

Notwithstanding the sharp wind blow
ing from the west and the masses of
clouds which threatened to pour down
torrents of rain, a large number of ladies
had assembled in the cemetery at an
early hour and strewn the graves with
flowers The old monumental shaft,
painted white, was draped with ever
greens and white roses Upon its front
side facing the South were the words,
"OUR DEAD IN HEAVEN" above an ever
green anchor, below which were the sad
words BURIED HoPEs.' In front of the
shaft were two pagodas of flowers, and
all around it were placed bouquets and
crosses. To the south of and directly
opposite the shaft stood the speaker S
stand, about which the trunks of the
trees were white-washed and festoons of
evergreens and white roses gracefully
hung. A large number of seats in front
were occupied by ladies. There must
have been nearly ten thousand persons
present.

The Capital Removal Question

The Cincinnati convention, called in the
interest of removing the capital from Wash,
ington to some point in the West, has met
and adjourned Before closing its session
a resolution vas adopted favoring an early
removal, and petitioning Congress to further
that end. The st. Louis Democrat, an ear,
nest advocate of a change Of base, is quite
sanguine on the removal question. 1t says
"Our Eastern friends will discover, we
think, that the dogma of the divine right Of
the capital of the country to be in Wash
ington is open to question, and there are
stubborn reasons why the West will feel
justified in insisting upon it's removal to
some central site. The censns has made
and Is making fresh revelations of the i'm
mense growth Of the nation in popu ation
and wealth over the vast area bounded west
ward by the Pacific Ocean, and the most
careless observer can scarcely fail to see
and to feel That the progress of the newer
/ states and of the Territories, great though it
already be- has but begun. The people of
| the Mississippi Valley and their brethren
/ toward the setting sun have not only some
! rights which are entitled to respect. but
/ rights for which they mean TO secure res
pect from the denizens Of the Atlantic Dor.
| der. The movement for transferring the
capital contemplates no rash or improvident
step, but, on the contrary, looks forward ID
the imposing future, appreciates It's claims.
/ and proposes at once to prepare them. The
policy that assumes the capital to be infalli-
| bly, and unchangeably located, and goes on
/ from year to year expending vast sums from
the national treasury in consequence of that
| assumption, is itself the rash and ilnprovi
dent policy and the time is approaching
- he" thi- Jolly must end.

How EB0stetter's Bitters Cure
dyspepsia.

THE WHOLE STORY N 4 NUTSHELL.
The Office of the stomach is to convert the
food into cream like semi fluid, called
CHYME This is effected partly by the
action of a solvent, called the gastric juice,
which ezudes from the coating of the stom-
ach, and partly by a mechanical movement
of that organ, which cEalrns, as it were, the
dissslving aliment The CHYME passes
from the stomach into thes duodenum, or
entrance to the bowels, where it is subjected
to the action of the bile; and the nutritious
portion of it converted into a fluid called
cHy2e, which eventually becomes blood
Now, it is evident that if the great SOL
vent. the gastric juice, is not produced in
sufficient quantity, or if the mechanical &C
ton Of the stomach is not sufficiently brisk,
the first process Of digestion will be but I'M
perfectly performed 1t is also clear thatif
the liver, which plays such important part in
changing the nourshiRg portion of the chyme
into the material of the blood, is congested,
OF in any unnetural condition, the second
process will not be thoroughly accomplish
ed, The result of the te0o failures is dys-
pepisa, complicated with biLiouSReSs.
The mode in which HOSTETTER'S BIT
TIERS operate in such cases is this; they in
vigorate the cellular membrane of the
stomach, which evolves the gastric juice,
thereby insuring an ample suficiency Of the
fluid to completely dissolve the food. They
also act upon the nerves of the stomach,
causing an aceeleration of mechanical
movement necessary to reduce the food to a
homogeneous mass. They also act specif-
caIly upon the liver, strengthening it, and so
enabling it to produce an ample and regular
supply of bile, for the purpose of converting
the nutritious particles of the. Chyme into
Chyle, and promote the passage through the
bowels of the useless debris.
In this way, HOSTEPTERS BITTERS
cure dyspepsia and liver complaint The
explanation is plain, simple, philosophical,
and true.

"Barrett's" Hair Restorative.

The var betweaa Germany, under the
leadership Of Prussia, aud France is to be
renewed with yigor. The hope Of peace,
founded on the armistice which the telegra-
ph a few DAYS AGO assured us was about to
be established faded away yesterday. The
French leaders have net given any evidence
of a deeire for peace since they insisted on
terms which they knew would be rejected
They dema0ed that during the armistce
Paris should be provisioued Bi>marb a@reed
to this They next demanded free ingress
and eg7esS from and 10 Paris; this BIsmark
refused. 20 Theirs ordered bY the govern,
meHt at Paris to break off negrotiatiDns.
We can now expect that Bismark will &c
mand the surrender Of Paris, giving six
hours, or possibly twenty four, in which to
reply. The surrender will be refused, and
then follows a bonbarmenJ such as the
worlds history has never recorded. Peace,
which Europe as well as the United states
desires, is not at hand The struggle now
going on between Germans and French men
is one in which the wrongs and the rights of
the last three Centuries have ENGINEERED
It was not at any time a mere quarrel be-
tween crowned heads-het Teen an Empernr
and a King; between NapoIen and King
William. 1t IS Gaul against Teut0n. French
men against Germans. Hence we cannot
expect peace until one or the other has been
not only overthrown in battle but suiugated
The representative man of German policy,
German aspirations and German character,
is not King William but Bismlrk The
crowned heads have made poor figure, and
neither William KIM nor Napoleon, the EN-
perOr, have come up to the standard erected
by the people. Peace with France cannot
be hoped for until all the territory once
German, but now held by France IS given
up France is not willing to yield The
war will then 90 on And since Bismark
by his wonderful address has throgn the
responsibility on the French leaders for the
defeat of an armistic, there will be no in
PREVENTION by the other powers. War not
peace until Paris is occupied by the German
armies Memphis AUalanche.
