MEMPHIS BONDS.

Mayor johnson and Mr.. Prescott,
chairmen Of the Finance Committee Of
the Council, have returned from the
East, and bring favorable report of their
mission. In Baltimore, where the bulk
of Memphis bonds are held, they met all
the encouragement they desired. The
bond holders assured them of their read
mess TO fund the past due coupons on
their bonds in the forthcoming gold inter
est bearing bonds at par. This is all that
was asked, and all that could be desired.
In New York they met with the same
encouragement, and made arrangements
with the American Bank Note Company
for the necessary printing. The new
Memphis bonds are to be issued some
time next month, and will bear date No
vember the first The six per cent in
terest will be paid in gold, and will
fall due on the first Of May
and the LIST Of November. The market
value Of these bonds will certainly be
greater than the present worth Of the
outstanding ciiyindebtedness unprovided
for Hence the old coupons will end
their way into the market and be ex-
changed for the new bonds at par. The
old debt being taken up. it viii be an
easy matter, with such management as
the present, to provide for the interest
falling due, both on the outstanding
Memphis bonds and the new ones TO be
issued in November. Capitalists viii re-
gard these new bonds as a good invest
ment, and their market value viii soon
be little less than par of course, the
market price Of the old bonds viii also
appreciate when a system Is adopted that

The Herald Of Health says: Why
are feathers worse for bedding than cork
shavings, or any other substance that is
too costly to be renewed often2"
Feathers are very poor conductors Of
heat, and consequently keep the skin
overheated, facilitating il, preventing
the full performance Of its functions,
and rendering the person more liable to
colds. Not only this. but the functions
of the skin being impaired, the liver,
kidneys, and lungs have TO do extra
duty, and are liable to become diseased
in consequence. Another objection to
feathers is, that there is a decomposition
Of their animal matter going on all the
time, and they absorb and retain the
emanations from the body to such an
extent that they soon become too filthy
for common decency.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Bear in Mind.-When disease has under
mined the health, and the physical system has
become Frustrated, a stimulant that will not
only strengthen, but remove the cause, should
be Immediately resorted to. Mental distress
is also fruitful source Of the breaking down
of the constitution, and the ravages Of this
enemy to health are truly alarming. For all
such maladies Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
have been found unsurpassed. By acting
directly upon the digestive organs, they re-
move the heavy. disagreeable feeling after
eating, so often complained Of by persons of a
delicate temperament. As soon as digestion
is restored. the patient finds his strength in
creasing, and his general health improved.
Thousands Of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases Of weakness or nervous
debility attendant upon sedentary habits. The
generality Of bitters are so disagreeable TO the
taste that they are Objectionable to weak
stomach. This Is not the case with Hostetter's
Bitters. which will be found mild and ex-
tremely pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and
roots contribute their restorative juices TO
render it soothing and strengthening. It's
basis is the only pure stimulant which has
ever been produced, containing no fnsh Oh, or
any other deleterious elemen.. The most
careful and skillful chemists have analysed
the Bitters. and pronounce them harmless.
This rs scientific testimony; but the testimony
Of the hundreds Of thousands who have expe..
rienced the preventive and curative effects Of
the oKEAT VEGETABLE TONIC and ALTERAriyE OF
modern times is still more conclusive. In
Fever and Agus. Dyspepsia, Biliousness. Ner;
vous Complaints, Chronic Complaints and
general debility II is as nearly infallible az
anything In this fallible world can be. cod

The FranIking Abuse.

The House of Representatives, with
indecent haste, passed a bill that moth
ing should so free through the mails.
This was done to punish the newspa-
pers,whiCh had exposed the rascalities
of the members, in selling their franks
for private purposes. 1t was aimed
especially at the county papers, which
now circulate free in the counties where
published. The city papers circulate
mostly outside of the counties where
published, and are generally sent by
express. Hence the larger papers are
In favor of the bill. 1t is said that the
members Of Congress will vote them
selves postage stamps, instead of the
right to frank mail matter.
Let the country press have an eye on
members of Congress, and keep the
people fully advised in these matters.
In the Senate the bill is likely to be
examined, and put into something like
adecent shape, as the following pre-
OeediDgs will show;
On motion of Mr.. Ramsey, of Mime
sofa (R), the House bill for the abol-
ton Of the franking privilege was taken
up.
Mr.. SHERMAN moved to amend
the 1st section by adding proviso that
nothing therein contained shall be con-
strued to repeal or affect the free trans
mission by the mails Of newspapers,
within twenty miles of tho place of pub
lication.
Mr.. RAMSEY thought the adoption
ofthe amendment might retard the
speedy passage of the bill by requiring
its further consideration by the House.
Mr. SHERMAN believed the amend
ment would strengthen the measure
among its friends in the House, and
urged its adoption, in justice to the
country papers, which could not, in the
matter of postage, compete with the
large dailies He thought it would be
gross injustice to charge the small coun-
try newspapers, circulating within a
short distance, the same rate of postage
paid by the large dailieS, which were
transmitted thousands of miles.
Mr.. CONKLING, ofNew York (R. J..
suggested that the Senate might pass
the bill as it was, and that such mOdi-
fcations of tho measure as were neces-
sary might be considered in committee
and enacted in the shape of a separate
bill
Mr.. DRAKE, Of Missouri (R.),
thought the amendment did not 90 far
enough, and proposed to amend so as
to continue the existing provisions OF
law in favor of publishers OF newspa-
pers and periodicals.
Mr.. HAMLIN, of Maine (R.l said
that the bill, if passed, would not 90 in
cooperation until July 1st, and there
was no special necessity for its imme
diate consideration, he therefore NOV
ed to postpone the whole subject, in
order to take up the business relating
to the District Of Columbia, action up
en- which was urgently demanded.
Mr. WILEY, Of West Virginia
(R.) suggested an amendment to the
billto allow the free transmission in
the mails of newspapers and periodic
ais whose circulation does not exceed
1000.
