The Living Machine.

Injure the main spring of a watch and every
portion of the works becomes disordered. The
human stomach is to the human system what
that elastic piece of metal is to chronometer.
1t influences the action of the other organs,
and controls, to certain extent, the whole
living machine. The comparison may be car
ried further; for as the weakness or other i'm
projections of the main spring is indicated on
the face of the time-piece, so also is the weak
ness or other disorder of the stomach betryed
by the face of the invalid. The complexion is
sallow or faded, the eyes are deficient in lustre
and intelligence, and there is worn, anxious
expression in the whole countenance which tell
as plainly as written woros could do, that the
great nourishing organ whose office it is to min
lister to the wants of the body, and to sustain
and renew all it's parts, is not performing its
duty. 1t requires renovating and regulating,
and to accomplish this end Hostetter Stomach
Bitters may be truly said to be the one thing
needfuz The broken main spring of a watch
may be replaced by new one, but the stomach
can only be repaired and strengthened, and
this is one of the objects of the famous vegeta-
BILE restorative which for eighteen years has
been waging successful contest with dyspep-
STA in all climates. AS specific for indiges-
ton it stands alone. When the resources of
the pharmacopeia have been exhausted, with
out, at best, doing more than mitigating the
complaint, course of this wholesome and
palatable, yet powerful, stomachic effects a
perfect and permanent cure. In all cases of
dyspepsia the liver is more or less disordered,
and upon this important gland, as well as up
on the stomach and bowels, the Bitters act
with-singular distinctness, regulating and re-
invigorating every secretive and assimilating
organ on which bodily and mental health de-

.war as a Fine Art"

This was the subject of a lecture delivered
on Tuesday evening last by Oliver P. Bald
win, Esq, before the Guild of St. Luke's
Church. (Rev. DR.. Rankin's,) at their rooms,
in Waverly Terrace, Franklin Square. The
Guild is an association of intelligent and pro-
minent citizens in that part of the city, hav-
ing weekly meetings. Mr.. Baldwin has won
reputation as lecturer, especially in Virgl-
MIA, bis addresses generally being character
lied by wit and eloquence. In his address,
without endeavoring directly to demonstrate
the evil of war, it was shown, in vein OF
blended irony and seriousness, not only as one
of the fine arts, but as rifling music, painting
and statuary of their choicest treasures. Its
influence in poetry was traced from the Had
to Burns, and its advance as science from
the rude fights of the ancients, when contests
were denied by physical strength; to the day
when. in the language of Macaulay, "a hunch-
back dwarf urged the fiery onset Of France,
and an asthmatic skeleton covered the slow
retreat of England" The. popularity of SOL
diers over civilians, the Transforming effects OF
war upon individuals and communities, its
change of the moral qualities of actions, the
different ways of looking at it by contractors
and patriots, and its exposures of counterfeits
and humbugs, were successfully dwelt upon.
In conclusion. the hope was expressed that.
with advancing Christian progress, it might
be possible at SONG future day for congress
of nations to be instituted, not invested with
coercive power, but having as its purpose
such concentration of the public opinion of
the world upon questions arising between diff
ferent nations as will render it a shameful
thing to perpetrate manifest injustice by an
appeal to arms.-Bal. Sun.

,:!oRITuART.

Departed this life, at the residence of her son,
in Alexandria, Va, June 9th, Mrs. SIG1S-
MUNDA M the beloved wife of PEARSON
CHAPMAN, of this county, in the 63d year OF
her age.
A faithful worker in the fold of Christ for
years in all the ennobling and most response
BILE relations of wife, mother and neighbor, she
leaves a memory that will long be cherished,
and an example that will endure long after
those with whom she moved shall have passed
away. May it find many followers in the large
family and social circle she leaves behind to
mourn her loss. And may her bright chris
tian character be a solace to her bereaved con-
sort, with whom she had lived for forty-four
years, in this the hour of his affection, and a
balm to the wounded spirits of her distressed
children; and may their. end be like hers, re-
signed to the will of the God who made her,
and confident in the blessed redemption of the
Saviour. No heart may know the bliss when
such life is done.
"Calm on the bosom of thy God
Fair spirit! rest thee now
Even while with ours thy footsteps trod
His seal was on thy brow.
Dust to its narrow house beneath aI
Soul in its place on high!
They that have seen thy look in death,
No more may fear to die"

Time Of Electing congressman.

Probably the fact is not generally known
that Congress, at its last session, passed an
act changing the time for electing Congress
men to the second Tuesday in October-all
the States voting on the same day. The fol-
lowing is the act:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House OF
Representatives of the United States Of A
merica. in Congress assembled, That the cleo
tors of President and Vice President shall be
appointed in each State on the second Tues
day in October in the year in which they are
to be appointed, and the Representatives in
Congress shall be elected on the second Tues
day in October preceding the session to which
they are elected; and so much of the law
relative to the election of a President and Vice
President of the United States, and declaring
the officer who shall act as President in case
of vacancies 10 the Office both of President
and Vice President, approved March 18th,
1898, and Of the act to establish uniform
time for holding elections for electors Of Pre-
sident and Vice President in all the States of

is inconsistent with this act, is hereby repeal

Rail Road Matters.

:, The operations on the line of the Baltimore
and Potomac road at last begin to look some
thing like business; and the work on the Me-
tropolitan road, connecting Washington di-
rectly with the West, has now reached stage
where its completion within few months
seems matter assured. The work has been
progressing steadily at the heaviest points on
the line, and has now been resumed at this
end, and will be prosecuted vigorously
Washington Star. -.
A late despatch from Washington says:-
Geo. D. Roberts, of Pennsylvania, has been
elected President of the Company to build a
railroad from Washington to Fredericksburg
uniting with that to Richmond. The work
will be Immediately commenced and COM
pieted by December next. The Pennsylvania
Central has in this, as we'll as in the Balti-
more and Potomac Railroad, the controlling
interests. The Pennsylvania Central has thus
secured line from Richmond by way of
Washington and Baltimore to unite with its
Western and Northern lines.

wheat Harvest-Early & Latter Seeding.
We have received letter from John T..
Cotton, Esq, of Aliens Fresh, giving his ex-
perience with the wheat crop Of the present
year. from which we gather the following
facts. He says:-"I commenced harvesting
on Saturday last, the 18th instant. All my
forward wheat is prime, and well made and
filled. Ny latter seeding, think, is much
injured by the wet weather. ! commenced
seeding on the 18th Of September, and all
seeded up to the 18th of that month is first
rate wheat-perfectly made and uninjured.
I seeded the Broughten white wheat. My
impression is, that if the recent rains had not
set in, my wheat would have been ready to
cut by the 9Th of June"

Affairs in st. Mary's County.


The following items are from the Beacon
Of last week:
The condition of the wheat crop in many
sections of our county. in consequence OF re-
cent severe blows and the late prolonged wet
spell, is represented to be precarious. 1t is
feared that much of the "down" wheat will
not 'sraise," and that mould, scab and rust may
supervene. Tobacco planting is now in full
blast, and many have already pitched their
entire crops There is, we believe, an abun-
dance of plants, aud the prospect is that more
than an average crop will be planted.

containing about $50 acres of land, has beer
