4 Body and Mind Disease.

Such Is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain arc too intimately allied for the one
to suffer without the other, SO that dyspepsia
and dependency arc inseparable. 1t may
DO added, too, that irritation Of tho stomach
is almost invariably accompanied by irrita-
ton Of the temper.
The invigorating and tranquilizing oper-
ton of HOstetter'ss Bitters is most powerfully
developed in cases of indigestion. The fl rst
effect OF this agreeable tonic is comforting
and cncOuraginsa A mild glow pervades
the system, the chronic uneaSineSs in the
region of the stomach is lessencd, and the
nervous rcstlessncss which characterizcs the
disease is abated. This Improvement is not
of the old symptoms with superadded force,
as is always the case when unmedicated
stimulants are given for tho complaint
Each dose seems to impart a permanent ac-
cession of hcalthful inauguration. But this
is not all. The aperient and ambitious
properties of the preparation arc scarcely
secondary in Importance to its tonic virtues
If there is an overflow of bile the secretion
is soon brought within proper limits, and if
the bileary organ is inert and torpid it is
toned and regulated. The effect upon the
discharging organs is equally salutary, and
in cases of constipation the cathartic action
is just sufficient to produce the desired re-
suit gradually and without pain. Tho bit
ters also promote healthy evaporation from
the surface which is particularly desirable
unpleasant weather are apt to check the
natural perspiration and produce congcst ion
OF the liver, coughs, and colds. The best
safeguard against all diseases Is bodily ,sgor,
and this the great Vegetable Restorative
essentially promotes.

The Quantity of Chiffon

Yet to be picked on the swamp lands, is
considerable, and planters in some To-
calitics arc offering very high wages
Contracts for picking vary widely: some
give 75c per hundred pounds; some
sl,m; while others give third of the
cotton picked, and we have heard of in
Day-laborcrs, cooks and house servants
have become very scarce, owing to this
demand for cotton-pickers. Planters
who do not get their cotton picked by
Christmas expect to have it plowcd in,
and hence the cagerncss to get laborcrs
now. Next year, owing to light prices
of cotton, the demand for labor will not
be so great

Subscribers taking the TELEGRAPH

promise to make the paper interesting,
and, after the election, to give it more
of the character of a general ne,cs paper,
with less of that political complexion
than it now presents, which is !, nccessi-
ty of the times and really due to the alb
sorbing character of tho struggle pen
ding.

ut the Courthouse on Friday--half-an-
hour before we went to presto hear an

EY wM. HEIIEN
1t passed me blythe funeral train.
The bells were tolling, tolling;
The flags were drapcd, and the mutlicG
drums
Were mournfully rolling, rolling,
The lack-draped hearsc with its blackc,
plumes,
The milk white horses = the mourniu.
All told of Death, and the silent toombs;
And Of sa6lden'd hearts that wore growing
Inc cortegc moves at Al solemn pace,
And Death rides slowly, slowly,
And griinly smiles on the fearful ones,
Whose hearts arc dropping lowly.
The tramp, tramp, tramp, of the firclncn
crew,
With their uniforms OF red and blue,
Who mourn friend and a member true,
Tells of Deaths own weaving.
AS think of Death, what visions rise!
or Life that is past and gone;
What triumphs that glide before my sight {!
All claimed at last by one
by one whose name is silent DEATH
Who withcrs by his icy breath,
And laying his finger on Life. he saith:
" claim thee as my own"

The very low stage Of water in the
river renders navigation exceedingly
difficult. The Economist required over
between this place and Columbia. She
returned Wednesday, towing a barge
filed with cotton. The Lightwood is
tied up just below the bar.
The st. Louis Times says: "Capt.
Martin Keary will spend about sc, 900
in repairs on the Omaha. He expects
to go down the river on Saturday, and
will run between Nicksburg and Delta,
connecting with the Louisiana and
Shreveport Railroad. The Captain has
a charter for thirty years, and being a
veteran in the river business, will no
doubt make the enterprise successful"
We are indebted to our friend, II. O.
Benedict, second clerk on the Robert
T.. Lee, for that steamers time table on
her recent run against the time of the
Natchcz. The latter was beaten to
Natchcz by the Lee, within a few sec
