1t is not necessary to journey from the tropics
to Alaska in order to experience the extremes
of heat and cold. Thousands undergo all the
inconvenience of this thermometrical change
every day, or every other day, asthe case may
be, without the trouble of moving over the
threshold. A word with these involuntary
shakers. What are they doing to expedite
their return to a medium temperature Ito
break the chills and Danish the fever? Are
they dosing themselves with quinine, thereby
imperiling the soundness Of their bones and
impairing the vigor of their brains and nervous
system? Some of them are, no doubt, but not
the majority of them, it is believed. The value
of Hostetters Stomach Bitters as a harmless
and certain specific for fever and ague is under
stood and appreciated in all parts of the coun-
try where intermittents prevail. The residents
of such localities begin to take it early in the
spring as protection against the miasma by
which they are surrounded; not all of them,
perhaps, for blind adherence to error is the
speciality of some people, but the greater num-
Der.
If there is any fixed fact in therapeutics, it is
this : that the Bittors are far better safeguard
against all the varieties of periodic maladies
produced by unwholesome exhalations than
avy drug or compound in the materia medica
of the profession. This assertion is made with
all due respect to the faculty, but being an inn
portant truth, and one that nearly concerns the
health of large settlements in various parts of
the country, and indeed Of the public at large,
it is made fearlessly. Founded on ample and
unimpeachable testimony, it defes disproval.
To break up chills and fevers, as well as to
prevent them, there is nothing so reliable as
this interchangeable restorative.

JOrdan's Springs.

It will be seen by advertisement that this
popular Summer Retreat will be opened to
Visitors generally on the LIST Of June, and that
accommodations may be had there even ear
lier. We copy the following from the Charles
town, Va, Free Press:
ga letter dated at Jordan's last week speaks
in glowing terms of the prospect for success
full season, and says the establishment was
never in better condition for the comfortable
entertainment of guests. In addition to the
supplies of the most delicious honey from the
Apiary of Mr.. Jordan-one of the most ex-
tensive in the Valley-he has the promise of
a most bountiful yield of peaches and other
fruits, and vegetables in great abundance and
of the finest quality. The writer says Mr..
Jordan's strawberry beds contain tsoenty va
rieties, and will yield bushels of the most de-
licious berries in June and July. His Gar
den, Orchard and Apiary present tempting
inducements to those seeking Summer re-
sort, to say nothing of the bealth-giving wa
tiers, pleasant pronenades, fine music and a.
greeable surroundings of the guests of Jor-
dams"

%In the United States Senate, on Tues

%In the United States Senate, on Tues
day, Mr.. Pool introduced bill providing that
it shall he unlawful for persons to combine or
conspire together to violate, hinder or impede
any of the rights meant to be secured by the
XIVth Amendment, or either directly or in
directly to coerce, intimidate, treat with vio-

What are ssGOOd Times.''

The New York Tribune very reasonably
doubts whether the revival of business in Wall
street, that is, Gold Room and Stock Ex-
change. is an acceptable sign Of "good times,
in the ordinary sense of the term. Good
times, the editor seems to think, will never
come until Congress passes some sort of a
funding bill. But it is not merely the pass
age of funding bill that is wanted, but the
adoption of an opposite policy from that SO
strenuously adhered to by the Tribune OF
protecting" few individual interests so as
to constitute them absorbing monopolies,
maintained at the expense of the masses by
the taxation which excludes all competition
The reduction of both tariff and internal tax
alton would do more to set the wheels Of sub
stantial industry, production and traffic in
motion than anything else, especially if a set.
tied and less costly financial system be at the
same time brought into use.-BaN. San.

OBITUARY

Departed this life after protracted illness,
on Wednesday, April the 9th, LUKE w. B.
HAWKINS, in the 58th year of his age.
1t has been said that the story of every hui
man life if rightly told, may always convey a
useful and instructive lesson to those who sur
vive. The life and character of our lamented
friend were eminently adorned by many noble
and admirable traits. The generous and con-
fiding heart, the genial and amiable DISPOSE
ton, the warm and social spirit, the purity
and integrity of purpose, united in the person
of the sincere and sympathizing friend, the
gentle and devoted husband the affectionate
father, the considerate and good neighbor, the
ever-courteous and hospitable gentleman, have
embalmed his name and memory in the hearts
of his many devoted friends. But better than
all this, and far above all this, he was a Chris
tian In his last illness, when the world with
all its solemn realities was fast fading around
him, he sought and found hope and consola-
ton in the promises of his Lord and Savior
and calmly surveying the approach of death,
he looked beyond its power to the glorious
immortality, the t'crown of righteousness
which the "Righteous Judge" has s1aid up''
for call them that love his appearing, Lifes
weary pilgrimage is ended, the spirit has re-
turned to ''God who gave it," and though his
place will know him no more forever, his vir-
tues and memory will be treasured in our hearts;
and there, ever verdant, they will live, loved
and cherished, until all those who unite in this
humble tribute to his worth shall have follow
ed him in the journey where, for brief space,
he has preceded up through the dark valley,
abeyond the river' that divides time from
eternity.
s'There are our loved ones in their rest
They We crossed Times river-now no more
They heed the bubbles on its breast,
Nor feel the storms that sweep its shore,
But there pure love can live, can last.
They look for us their home to share
When we in turn away have passed:
What joyful greetings await us there

The Lyles Murder.

The trial of Henry, alias Nimrod Richards,
colored, for the murder of Col. VIM. Lyles, at
bis residence, "Auburn," Prince Georges
county, July 18th, 1866, which had been set
for Tuesday, the 26th ult., at Upper Marl-
boro,' has been postponed, and on affidavit of
the prisoner that he could not get fair trial
in Prince Georges county, the case has been
removed to the Circuit Court of Anne Arun-
del county, which is now in session at Anna
polls. The record will be transmitted with
out delay, and it is likely that an early day
will be fixed for the trial. 1t will be remem-
bered that the murder of Mr.. Lyles was COM
mitted by five colored men, four of whom,
viz: William Platter, Thomas Davis, Henry
Luckett and William Jones were banged
November I'd, 1866. The accused made his
escape, and after travelling over eleven States
and wandering over the North and the Cana
das, was discovered in Boston, and finally ar
rested and turned over to the authorities of
Maryland. Since bis confinement in Jail in
Upper Marlboro the accused has spent most
of his time in religious reading, and was on
Monday, the 25th ult., baptized in the Cath
Ole Church, by Rev. Father Meaher. He is
completely broken down by his wanderings,
and appeared to be deeply affected by the
ceremony of baptism. A letter to the Wash
ington Star from Upper Marlboro says:
cit is stated that previous to his Judgment
in Jail here be confessed the crime, and it was
generally believed that had he not been ad-
vised otherwise he would have plead guilty
when arraigned and made full confession.
Certain it is that, notwithstanding the course
he has taken for the removal of bis trial, he
does not seem hopeful, and is constantly en-
ployed in reading religious books and prepar-
ing to meet death. He occupies the middle
cell of the second floor of the Jail, and none
are allowed to see him without permission ;
nor indeed does he seem anxious to see any
one except his counsel. Yesterday, when the
sheriff with few friends entered his cell, he
was found seated on his bed, with bis legs
heavily ironed, and showed no disposition to
talk, answering in monosyllables only. He
appears to be about thirty-fve years Of age,
is light mulatto, about FIVE feet ten inches
10 height, weighs about 100 pounds, is knock
kneed, stoop shouldered, and has very I'M
prepossesSing appearance.
Gle informed officer Webster that he spent
the afternoon of the day on which he eluded
the police, who had seen him, and at one time
were close upon his heels, hid in Penny Hill
grave yard. That night he went as far as
Mount Vernon, where be rested some hours.
The next day he went on down the telegraph
road, and stopped that night at the house of
widow lady The next day he reached
Fredericksburg, where he Immediately ship
ped on vessel bound to Baltimore, and from
that city went west. He attributes his detec-
ton to a colored man named Wallace Brent
who formerly lived in Alexandria, and who,
he says, saw and recognized him in Boston"

The Radicals and MARYLAND.

The Radicals predict that they will carry
four out of the FIVE Congressional districts OF
Maryland next fall. and that the negroes will
vote with them to man. This last may be
true. But it is only by divisions among the
Democracy, got up on miserable distractions,
that, even with the unanimous support of
their negro political property, the Radicals
can triumph. II we are given over to the
Philistines, it will be by the hands of some
impracticabe Democrat. If the Democracy
of Maryland will stand and act together as
one man, we can drive the plantation hands
and their political overseers into the Chesa-
peake. Is this the time for any Democrat,
affecting excessive devotion to State Rights.
to assal the unity Of the party, and thereby
give his State tosthe negro domination, which
he processes to loathe ?-Statesman

Southern MARYLAND Railroad.

Southern Maryland Railroad.
In our last issue, we felt it our duty to call
for information in regard to the status of the
Southern Maryland Railroad project and to
ask schen beginning would be made upon
the road and why it bad not been made the
present Spring according to the promise Of
the road authorities. No response as yet, but
we expect that one is forthcoming and will be
given to the public at an early date, and we
doubt not that it will fully cover all the in
quiries that have been raised and satisfactory
ly explain the temporary delay that has oc-
Cured in "hitching up" for serious COM
meucement. We have evidence that the off,
GERS of the road are earnestly at work in its
behalf. Col. johnson, its President, recently
addressed public meeting in Washington,
forcibly urging that that city should loan its
credit to the road or at least guarantee the
interest on its bonds. The question of Wash
ington aid to the road is now up for practical
solution. Congress having, we believe, pass
ed an act authorizing its corporate authori-
ties, upon the favorable action of the voters
of the city, to subscribe to or endorse the
bonds of the company to the extent of ST.
100000. 1t is likely that the road authori-
ties are waiting the action of Washington in
this matter and have delayed putting the road
under contract until that city shall have
spoken.
At the meeting, above referred to, Colonel
johnson said, that, although be was Presi-
dent of the Point Lookout road, he did not
come here to speak as such, nor as if he was
in any wise connected with it. He spoke as
any other of those present might speak. He
was of the opinion that the road would adj
vance tue interests of the city more than any
other road that could be built. Twenty years
ago, when the great western systems of rail-
roads were first projected, he predicted that
they must be consolidated and verge toward
the seaport towns of the east, and they had.

A French Gunpowder Story.

Cable reports were received on Saturday OF
an alleged new plot discovered in Paris by
police against the State and life Of the En-
peror." One account from Figaro said "part
of the design of the plotters was to blow up
the palace of the Tuileries and of the Prefec-
ture of the Police" A later dispatch, how
ever, says: ''there is no truth whatever in the
report of conspiracy to blow up the Tuile-
ries and the headquarters Of the police

was trouble of some sort and some arrests.

Liberty to CoIored Voters.

At the XVIII Amendment Proclamation
Celebration in Philadelphia, last week, seve-
raj white Radicals spoke, and each had a
word to say about the enormity of any color
ed mans offending who would dare to vote
the Democratic ticket. Finally Frederick
Douglass was called for, and bis deliverance
was that of thoughtful man to men in whom
he would instill the disposition to think. Mr..
Douglass told his colored friends that they
were now voters, and that "to vote was to ex-
ercise choice. If they preferred to vote the
Democratic ticket, it was their undoubted
right to do it, and no man dare say to them

Americans Going to Egypt.

Quite a number of Federal and Confederate
officers in our late civil war are going to take
service With the Viceroy of Egypt. If war
occurs between Egypt and Turkey, as seems
to be apprehended, these gentlemen are likely
to have as good, honest, downright fighting
as they can possibly desire. The Sultan has
an army of 100000 men, said to be highly
disciplined and equipped. The Turks showed
themselves splendid soldiers in the Crimean
war, and there are no drawer people on the
earth. Their combined fanaticism and valor
once shook Europe to its foundations, and
there has been no degeneracy among them in
good manhood.

Important to House Cleaners.

As the season of house cleaning is at hand,
the following directions for cleaning paint may
be found servceable:
'Provide plate with some Of the best
whiting to be had. and have ready some clean
warm water and piece of flannel, which dip
into the water and squeeze nearly dry; then
take as much whiting as will adhere to it, APP
ply it to the painted surface, when little
rubbing will instantly remove any dirt OF
grease. After which wash we'll with clean
water. rubbing it dry with soft fannels.-
Paint thus cleaned looks as we'll as when first
laid Oh, without any injury to the most deli
cate colors. 1t is far better than using soap,
and does not require more than half the time
and labor"
