SPECIAL NOTICES.

The Life Sustaining 0rgans.-The two or
gans which minister most directly to the sap
port of the body are the stomach and liver. In
the former the first process of digestion takes
place, under the action Of that powerful sol
vent, the gastric juice. Thence the food. con-
yerted into pulp. passes into the duodenum,
where it is subjected to the action of the bile
or gall, flowing from the liver, and Of the fluid
generated BY the pancreas, or sweetbread Of
the system. These secretions separate the
nutritious portion from the rest. and 1t is then
taken up by the absorbent vessels and con-
veyed into the channels Of circulation in the
form of venous blood. while the waste matter
is discharged through the bowels. Unless all
these processes are duly performed, disease of
some sort is inevitable. and the best of all
medicinal agents for preserving or restoring
the tone and regulating the action of the three
organs-the stomach, liver and intestines-by
which the three-fold work is carried on, is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Indigestion is
generally accompanied by constipation. and
the gentle cathartic operation of the Btters is
no less important in cases of this kind. than
its tonic effect upon the stomach and the
hillary gland. Beauty of person as well as
health, depends in no small degree upon the
regularity of the excretive functions. sal

costiveness. A course of the Bitters will infal-
libly relieve, and finally Danish these obnox-
ious symptoms, while invigorating the stom-
ach and promoting healthy action in the liver.

tive strikes at disease in its primary sources.

THE COUNTY JAIL.
The history of poor humanity salts
factorily demonstrates the fact that In
all societies and communities one of the
indispensable necessities is a good jail.
A good Jail signifies several tings-
first, it must be in good and healthful
locality; second, it must be designed by
an architect who is master of the sell
ence, in order that it may be secure,
and embrace in its arrangement all OF
the numerous accessories essential to
the health and comfort of the poor
erring mortals, and the necessary atten-
dants who reside within its walls; third,
these attendants should be men OF strict
integrity, uniform frmness, sound judg-
ment and humane hearts. In our county
Jail we have all these requisites fully
met, therefore we have good jail,
Situated upon high and an open To-
cality, there is no question as to Its
healthfulness. 1t was first projected,
we believe, by Judge Thomas Leonard
and his Official associates, and after
wards designed and planned by Mr..
James B. Cook, a prominent and well
known architect of our city, whose skill
and ability and long experience in his
profession leads us to believe that it is
perfect in regard to strength, security,
ventilation, bathing arrangements, sew
erage, etc. And, besides, Mr.. Cook has
made the structure handsome ornament
to our city. 1t is of the Norman-Gothic
style of architecture, and has sufficient
degree of ornamental embellishments to
relieve it of the appearance of sombre
gloom which the exterior of so many
jails presents. And in the perfect or
der and cleanliness which pervades the
entire establishment, we have indispu-
table evidence, from a recent inspecI
ton, that its present officials have been

Real Estate Transfers.

We are indebted to Lanier & Waddelrs
Real Estate Bulletin for the following
information of things about town:
CHEAP HOUSES
From the great number ofapplications
made to us for small tenements, we are
convinced thatcapitalists would find it
splendid investment TO erect small resi-
dence houses-say Of from four to six
rooms, including kitchen, etc, of con-
venient arrangements, with a moderate
share of modern appliances. There is a
great demand for small and medium
sized houses in good repair, both near
the centre of the city and just within the
corporate lines. A large proportion of
our very best citizens having had, as it
were, to begin life anew from the time
Of the surrender, the necessity of econo-
mieal expenditure is forced upon them.
Innearly every instance these applicants
for "a small house in good repair, rent
ing for from twenty TO thirty dollars
per month, are persons who would be
good tenants in every sense-good as 20
reliability in view Of prompt payment,
care Of premises, and increasing the de-
STABILITY of neighborhoods. We hope
our land-owning and lease-holding CAPT
faIists will turn their attention to this
matter, and at once determine 10 apply
some OF their surplus funds to the filing
up Of some Of the vacancies on onr
streets, within a quarter or half mile or
mile of Court Square, with small, well
built and tasteful cottages. They will
thus supply a great want in our COM
community. add to the attractions Of onr
city, and realize large dividends from the
investment
TOO MANY DOGS.
In some respects, Memphis can vie
with the largest and oldest cities of the
world. Now, as to dogs, not even Con
siantinople can surpass the city Of
Memphis. Go where You will, here and
there-from the river 10 the eastern su-
burban line, from Chelsea to Fort Pick

of high and low degree, all sorts and
sizes. and the more defenceless and
helpless the passer-by, the more angfily
the dogs will snap and sH=rl. Towards
ladies and little children, particularly.
they seem to cherish a most malignant
spite. Il IS vain to advise the dear little

NEW MEXICO.

Within this portion of the Territories
of the United States were the cradles-of
that race of whom the Montezuimas were
kings, and in these mountains andkalleys
are ruins of the Montezumas. Upon the
mountains and by the streams, in some
places, their population, as the ruins
would indicate, were tens of thousands,
and their temples are yet standing, where,
not many years ago, burned ''the eter-
nal fires" The Montezumas were the
most civilized of all the Indians they
were evidently advanced in many arts
and sciences had a complete system of
government, and their kings had absolute
sway over an empire whose extent was
great, and much of which, since it has
been acquired by the United States, re-
mains UNEMPLOYED, and whose population
amounted to hundreds of thousands.
They were an industrious people, adopts
in the cultivation of the soil, (by irriga-
ton, as the remains of their bitches show,
in mining, and in the manufacture of
wooden goods, in which latter industry
some of the present Indians of the coun-
try excel. They built houses and tenn
pies they were a nation of miners the
empire was and remains the rich extent
of precious metals and indications are
found of their working of mines on the
streams and in the mountains.
The Montezumas came from the North,
and travelled southwark until the Spaniard
found the center of that great empire in
Mexico. The Spaniard journeyed north
ward, conquering on the pathway of the
Montezumas. and stopped in their march
where the Montezumas began.
The blood of the Montezumas is to-day
three-ffths of the blood of Mexico; but
the iron heel of the Spaniard has oblitera-
ted nearly all points of their original
character, save here and there among
some Indian tribes a blending will be
found of Roman Catholic and Indian
customs. However, there are vet many
who expect the return of Montezuma as
the Jews await the advent of Christ, and
believe, when he comes to be their king,
they viii be united, rich, powerful, and
viii regain their prestige and empire.
