A Body and 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 added,
too, that irritation Of the stomach Is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation of the
temper.
The invigerating and tranquilizing operation
Of hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully devel-
oped in cases of indigestion. The first effect
of this agreeable tenio 10 comforting and encour-
aging. A mild glow pervades the system, the
chronic uneasiness In the region Of the stomach
Is lessened, and the nervous restlessness which
charac.erizes the disease is abated. This i'm
provement is not transient. It'll not succeeded
by the return Of the old symptoms with super.
added force, an is always the case when unmed.
icated stimulants are given for the complaint.
Each dose seems to Impart permanent aces
sion Of healthful inauguration. But this Is not
oil. The aperient and ambitious properties OF
the preparation are scarcely secondary in i'm
2ortance to its tonic virtues. If there is an
overflow of bile the secretion is soon brought
within proper limits, and II the bileary organ Is
inert and torpid IL Is toned and regulated. The
effect upon the discharging organs is equally
salutary and in cases Of constipation the csthar-
tic action is Just sufficient to produce the de.
sired result gradually and without pam. Inc
Bitters also promote healthy evaporation from
the surface which Is particularly desirable at
this season when sudden spells OF raw, unplsas-
ant weather are apt TO check the natural per.
SEPARATION and produce congestion Of the liver,
coughs, and colds The best safeguard against
all diseases is bodily rigor, and this the great
Vegetable Restorative essentially promotes.

The Meaning Of Orange Flowers.

In this country orange flowers are
worn by brideVn her. weddisg day
simply as an ornament, and signify
nothing particularly except that she is
o bride. In France, however, il is q
matter of much importance, inasmuch
Is il is q ties imonial of purity, not only
Of the bride herself, but of integrity
and morality in the character Of her
relatives. In the province of Franche
Comte its adornmoDt is considered a
sacred right, ebtaised by unidentified
character, aud as such proudly maintain
ed. Should any act of imprudence IN
early life; implying even suspicion OF
faint, upon the chastity of the maiden
be known, the use of the orange bios
som is forbidden; indeed, should the
female attempt to wear it on the occa-
sion of her marriage, she would be en-
countered at the church door by the
village lads, violently seized, and the
emblem of purity degradingly torn from
her hair; nor would the ceremony be
suffered to proceed until all trace of the
flower thus profsned had disappeared
from her person. In almost every vii
lage or small town in France the bride
entitled to wear the crown of orange
blossoms has this beautiful certificate
of her purity either framed or placed
under a glass shade; and it is religious
ly preserved if possible even through
generations, as an indisputable testi.
monisl of undoubted character. The
mother Of a natural child never dares
assume, not only the orange blossom
crown, but even the white dress and
veil, upon her wedding day, the habili-
ments being considered to belong only
to the pure. Should such an attempt
be made, the most bitter ridicule, the
most unmerciful ssrcasms, would ac-
company her and her unfortunate huS-
band to the altar.

A White wemsn shoots n Negro IN
the Circuit Courtroom ut Louis'

a White Woman Shoots a Negro an
the Circuit Courtroom ut LOuis'
Vile.
An unusual affair occurred in the Cir
cult Court yesterday. The trial of Jack
johnson, for rape, had just been con-
cluded, and the prisoner discharged on
motion of the Commonwealth attor
ney Mrs. Lou ga Henry, the chief wit
ness, q white woman, having failed to
testify in such a manner as to fasten the
crime upon her ravisher, though there
was little doubt of mis- guilt Mrs. Hen
~ had gone into the witness room to
claim her attendance fee, when the ne
gro came in and laughed in her face.
She Immediately drew pistol from I'M.
der her apron, and pushing it square in
his face, fred. The negro anticipated
her Just in time TO dodge, but the pow
der burned his face, and the ball made
q little round hole IN his big bushy
wool.
The affair created a momentary panic
in the court room, but the excitement
was soon quelled by the Sheriff. The
lady was i'm nediately arrested by officer
HiBes, who was in the room at the time,
and prevented her from firing again,
which she was hastily making perpara-
tions to do. The negro was badly
frightened, and affirmed that he had
swallowed the ball. 1t was afterward
found, however, buried deep in the
door-faciDg, about eight feet above the
floor. He made narrow escape from
death. Mrs. Henry was presented to
the court for contempt, but the mem
bers of tine bar arose to a man and asked
that she be discharged. Under the
circumstances of tho case, Judge Bruce
let her 90, but she was immediately put
under arrest for shooting with intent
to kill. She gave bail, and was released
without going to Jail. Her husband
was present, aud seemed to be proud OF
the heroism which his wife displayed

The belief that the military re-
sources Of Germany are well-mgh
exhausted, and that she would be
unable to send heavy reinforcements
to her troops now on the soil Of
France, is erroneous, as the follow
ing statement will show. There are
at the present time at the seal of
war fourteen North German army
corps, seven North German Land
weir divisions, two Bavarian army
corps, two Wurtembcrg divisions
andSone Baden division. Now the
actual number of troops which the
North German army wassble to pnt
into the field, was on the LIST day Of
July, 1859: First-Troops of the
line, 1858 battallions of infantry, 304
squadrons of cavalry, l,272 pieces of
artillery, thirteen aud one-fourth
battallions of pioneers; total 463, 900
men. Second--Reserves, 100 bat
tallions of infantry, rs squadrons of
cavalry, 240 pieces Of artillery, ~
battallions of pioneers, 4 $1,000 men.
So that the strength Of the whole
army on a war footing was 5000
men. Besides, Bavaria can furnish
$4,000 additional troops, Wurtcm-
berg 10000 and Badcn2O, 900. Hence
it may DO seen that the German
Governments would have but little
difficulty in pouring two hundred
thousand more men into France.

"Govenor Alcorn has excluded

lency that Judge Clayton was diff
cult OF voice, and no gave him a
Judge so difficult Of hearing that he
closed him up completely" Missis-

The above article OF the Centar
is both unjust and unwarrantable
under the facts In the case, for Judge
Clayton has not practiced law in this
Chancery District since the war
and has in fact retired from the
