An aged negress whose piety had Sc
cured her an extensive reputation, in
walking her usual round of visits,
dropped in upon a neighbor who was
equally well known as temperance
man and hater of tobacco.
After being courteously received. the
negress pulled from her pocket a long
pipe and commenced smoking some very
union tobacco, to the infinite disgust
of her host. The man maintained his
composure several minutes but the
fumes and smoke became too powerful
for him, and rising from his chair he
said:

That MISHLER'S HERB Bl1TElsS is skill
fully compounded, free from injurious COM
poncnt parts, agreeable 10 the taste, and
destructive 10 disease. If you detect any
change from the natural functions of your
system, no matter how trivial, or where
located, or if disease has already entrenchcd
itself, the really true and reliable remedy
II either case is MISHLERS HERE BIT
TIERS. This assertion is based upon what
we know it will do in relieving, curing and
wardng OFF disease. For want of space we
cannot detail the diversified uses of this
Bittcrs, but its general effects upon the hu-
man system are To purify the blood and
SccrctionS; correct morbid changes in the
blood, cqualize its circulation, enrich its
constituents and regulate its supply; it i'm
parts vitality and elasticity to every organ;
overcOmcS all functional arrangements;
assists in the process of digestion; creates Il
healthy appetite; prevents and cures MAS
matte and Intermittent fevcrs, dyspepsia,
liver complaint, nervous headache, kidney
affections, and rcvives the physical encr-
gics by infuSing new life and power into the

Thrice Armed!

Thrice is he armed who keeps within
reach of his hand specific that at one and
the same time will strengthen, regulate and
purify his system when enfeebled, diSOr-
dercd and corrupted.
such is the :hrec-iold operation OF Hos
letters Stomach Bittcrs, and hence the
great superiority Of that standard vegetable
restorative over all medicines that are
merely tonicS and nothing else. The effect
of the ordinary astringent tincturcS and
extracts upon the bowels is disastrous, and
upon the dcpraved blood or bile they pro-
ducc no beneficial effects whatever. In
dyspepsia and liver complaint all the fluids
and humors of the body are more or less
infected, and the bowels are often badly
conStipated. An unmodified aStringent-
uuinine for inStanch-dOCS infinitely more
harm than good in such cases. In Hostel
ter's BitterS, on the other hand, the Stimu-
latng and tonic elements are qualified with
apCricntS and antiSeptic ingredients. The
finest laNativCS and blood dppurentS in the
vegetable kingdom are intermiXcd with
those Of purely invigorGting nature, and
under the operation of this admirable com
binatiOn, the three important processes of
IMMIGRATION, regulation and publication

the ulsofuefed organization returns 10 us
natural condition, under course of the
BitterS Is due to this cause. Every disturb
ed function Of the body is faVorahly effected
by the various properties of this comprc-
hensive and well balanced preparation.
AS general rule the bowels are more sub
ject TO Irregularities and the fluids more
liable 10 become Vitiatcd in spring and
summer than in winter, and hence the
Bitters are especially valuable rs n spring
and summer alternative, corrective and in
vigOrant. Al all seasons where the seeds
of intermittent frvCrS infect the air, this
healthful vegetable elixir should be taken
as protective medicine

A Lame Dodge.

UNABLE to answer the arguments
which this newspaper has submitted
upon the. question Of negro equality
and Radical abuses, the Parkersburg
Journal seeks to break the force of them
by the following Misrepresentation:
1.-THE new management of the Wheel
ing REGISTER has shown an inordinate
ardor in his opposition to negro suffrage,
since he mounted the tripod in our
metropolitan town. This is easily ac-
counted for. Since certain election
occurred over in the Lynchburg district,
East Virginia, whereby, a gentleman
of African descent was elected to Con-
gress, and a gentleman editor, of about
the size, height and complexion Of our
able Wheeling editorial friend was
elected to remain at home, he has
shown a remarkable penchant for GET
ting on the opposite side OF everything
in which the niger is mixed Some
times 'triAles as light as air affect our
entire future destiny"
Radical newspapers have become 50
accustomed to Misrepresentation, and
have fourished so long on that sort of
carrion, that it has become as natural
to them as q mothers milk is to an
infant. 1t ia not true that the new
editor Of the REGISTER was ever beaten
in a negro district by negro or any
body else. He was unanimously nom-
mated "a q Conservative candidate for
Congress in his District in Virginia,
but being unable to take the test oath,
and knowing that none who could not
take it would be admitted to seat in a
Radical Congress, he withdrew from
the field to give place to one who could
take.it His opponent was not a gen
tleman of African descent" but a white
carpet-bagger from New York, of far
worse scent than any negro ever born in
Africa or anywhere else His District
was not Radical District, but it gave
$3.50 majority to the Conservative can
didate (Hon. R. RDGwXY) who sue
ceeded us, and who now holds his seat
in Congress as Conservative This
popgun Of the Jo,ural therefore, is ex-
ploded at the first pull Of the puny
trigger. 1t is not the poor negro that
the REGISTER is hunting. We have no
unkind feeling toward that unfortunate
race Of people But our war is upon
the whits Radicals who, for base party
purposes, have thrust the colored man
into the political and social arena in
the midst Of a revolution to degrade the
white race and perpetuate their stolen
power. They shall never have any
peace for the preparation of such an
outrage ntheir color and kindred.

From the Writ County Democrat

The Shattuck well, on the river has
been pumped encrgetically for the past
three weeks, and exhibits signs of yield
ing oil again. 1t throws an immense
amount Of water, and its machinery is
severely taxed but when the water is
exhausted pays we'll
Quite little excitement exists in re-
gard to the recent strike Of Mr. James
on the Hill between his old we'll and
what is known rs the Holiday we'll y
This new well was sunk TO the depth of
nine hundred feetslast summer, but has
produced but little oil. A short time
ago Mr.. James resolved to sink it fifty
feet deeper; but when one foot was com
pletcd, it commenced flowing: tubing
was then put in, and for the first twelve
hours it flowed forty barrels. The
sced-bag, however, was defective, and it
was retubed on Monday, the production
since which we are unable to state; but
from what We eau learn from those who
have visited it, an estimate Of from fifty
to sixty barrels day is considered no
exag"eratlon. This demonstrates that
oil has not yet left West Virginia, and
that Burning Springs territory is hut
partially developed. We trust all new
wells put down after this date will he
cased from the surface rs this has been.
We learn this course will be pursued by
Nessrs. Braidon Il Whitney, now about
ready in their new enterprise at the
head of the Right-hand Fork
The old Wyatt well, near the "Wirt
House." is now producing finely under
the management Of Mr.. John Hosey.
