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 add
ed, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation of the
temper.
The invigorating and tranquillizing opera
ton of Hostetter's Btters is most powerfully
developed in cases of Indigestion. The first eff
feet of this agreeable tonic is comforting and
encouraging A mild glow pervades the sys-
tenn the chronic uneasiness in the region of the
stomach is lessened, and the nervous restless
ness which characteriZes the disease is abated
1t is not succeeded by the return of the old
symptoms with superadded force, as is always
the case when unmedicated stimulants are given
for the complain Each dose seems to impart
permanent accession of healthful invi goration.
But this is not all. The aperient and antibili-
Gus properties of the preparation are scarcely
secondary in Importance to its tonic virtues
If there is an overflow of bile the secretion is
soon brought within proper limits, and il the
bileary organ is inert and torpid it is toned and
regulated. The effect upon the discharging or
CANS is equally salutary, and in cases OF constl-
patton the cathartic action is just sufficient to
produce the desired result gradually and with
out pain. The Bitters also promote healthy
evaporation from the surface which is particu-
larly desirable at this season when sudden spells
of raw, unpleasant weather, are apt to check
the natural perspiration and produce conges-
! ton of the liver, coughs and colds. The best
safeguard against all diseases is bodily vtgor, and
this the great Vegetable Restorative essentially
| promotes.

From data furnished by an American cor
respondent at Versailles it would appear that
the military status of the French is far from
hopeless, while the situation of the Prussians
is not altogether surety for the success of
their demands. According to this exhibit
Paris, in the first place, is impregnable, and
is fully supplied with two months provisions,
while Gen. Trochu has 100000 men fit for
offensive service in the field. Then, outside
of Paris, there are the armies of the Loire,
100000 strong, under Palladin; of the west,
100000 strong, under Keratry; of the Rhone,
10000, under Michel; of central France,
10000, under Triphant; of the north, 65, 900,
under Bourbaki; and of the Vosges, As 900; ;
making a total of $50, 1000 men, all well arm
ed, and fully supplied with everything need
full, to say nothing Of the numerous bands of
Franc-tireurs and sharpshooters operating in
an independent fashion. On the other hand.
the Prussians who are besieging Paris are
charged with daily sick list of about 800 in
every 1000 men; their recruiting power is
believed to be at halt, their last recruits be-
ing nearly all boys under nineteen years of
age. In spite Of these and other disadvan
tages, however, the Prussian armies continue
to operate vigorously in the interior, but if
the foregoing figures are not merely an idle
boast, it will be simply wonderful if the
French have not the better bargain before the
last of December.
A statement Of: the details of the negotia-
tons of M. Theirs, said to be made on good
authority, represents that the chief points OF
discussion were the revictualing of Paris, and
the proposition for the people of Lorraine and
Alsace to vote, both of which were persistent
ly rejected by King William. NJ. Theirs is
said to be of the opinion that the Prussians
will not lombard Paris on account of the pub
lie sentiment against it, but will she'll the forts
and make attacks in force,

Demecratic Mass Meeting and Barbecue.
.sMonday last was gala day in Port Tobac-
90. The political cauldron was boiling, seeth-
ing all that day. The shouts, the cheers, the
martial music, the loud huzzabs, the thronged
streets, all proclaimed the grand success of
the Mass Meeting and Barbecue that day held
under Democratic auspices. The next days
setting sun would close up the contest, and
this was the last rally for the morrow's fight
The RAIDS had held high carnival on the Sa-
turday previous, their gathering was large
and imposing, the fluent King spoke in fam
ing style and Mr.. James A. Gary tried to en-
tertaius his crowd. Finding that the Demo-
Gratis bad issued call for Mass Meeting and
Barbecue, on Monday, they directed their
band to remain until that day, and themselves
issued a call to the sable sons to come on Mon
day, hear their music and eat beef. This, of
course, was gay diversion and kept large
crowd from the Democratic entertainment.-
About u M, however, the Democratic band
arrived from Washington and things were
lively. The Radical procession had already
marched several times through the streets Of
the town, but soon the Democratic lines, 10
la2get force. were formed and made their
grand parade. About one o'clock. the Hon.

Central Iowa Railroad and Bonds.

Central Iowa Railroad and Bonds.
The rapidity with which railroads are built
in the Western States is something that our
eastern people are not accustomed to see. We
have heard much, during the past year, of the
prospects and progress of the Central Rail-
road of Iowa, whose route traverses the State
from north to south, through the most thickly
settled and largely productive sections of that
rich State. The names of eminent capitalists
of the east were associated with the enterprise,
and it was announced that the road should be
pushed through with all practicable speed.
without depending for funds upon sales of the
Company's securities. This promise has been
made good. Twelve thousand tons of the
very best iron was bought, paid for and ship
ped to the line; three thousand men and
teams were put to work the President of the
road remained upon the ground to see that
nothing halted the construction an abundant
supply of the best rolling stock was contract
ed for, and during the summer and autumn
months the rails have been advancing from
point to point, and new stations have been
opened in rapid succession, each one contri-
buting it's valuable quota to the business of
the road The grand result is becoming mani
fest. The road is now finished from Marshall
town, near the centre of the State, to the
Minnesota line, and cars are now running
regularly between ST. Paul and Marshalltowp,

A French author has recently written a
work to impress upon physicians the impor-
lance Of administering phosphate of lime in
their practice. He processes to prove that
this substance is, above all others, the natural
supplement of the function of nutrition that
by it's action the albuminous matter is made
to take the form of cellular, and that it pre-
sides over the organization of the tissues that
is to say, it is pre-eminently the agent of nu-
triton. The lacto-phosphate Of lime is also
recommended very strongly, as an active a.
gent in medicine; and in the distinctness of
its action and the positiveness Of its effects, it
claims to be ranked with bromide of potassium
and choral as one of the most valuable con-
tributiops of chemistry to the healing art
made during the present century.

Died, October 10Th, at the residence of her
parents, VICTORINE R., third daughter of
J. J. and V. R. HUGHES, in the 18th year of her
age.
Another of Gods little children, pure and
spotless as the snowy wreath we placed upon
her coffin, has gone to her happy home in hea-
ven, where joined by angel voices, she sings
in endless praise of Him who made her. Alas,
how sad that those we love and prize the most
should be the first we lose! 0, cold whitening
hand of death, how blighting is thy blow =
This lovely child, rich in all rare endowments
that can adorn the mind and grace the heart,
of disposition so gentle, so affectionate and
so confiding, won all hearts to love her, and
gave the brightest promise of happy, useful
future That ''wisdom can be learned from
the mouths of babes' was well verified by the
subject of this brief tribute. The simple truths
uttered by her infant lips evinced SO plainly
the charming beauty Of her nature and the
guileless innocence of her lovely life that it was
indeed ''the heart that magnifed her life max
ing a truth and beauty of it's own" No mat
ter how ardent the love- no matter how great
the loss Or how deep the grief, let US not ques-
ton the inscrutable ways of Him, who gives
and takes. 1t was He who sent the awful trial,
it is for us to accept the mandate of His will
and humbly bend beneath His chastning rod,
for He alone can give the grace to bear the
burthen and heal the bleeding heat.

nTThe returns. partial as vet. from t

H~The returns, partial as yet, from the
elections held 10 the various States on Tues
day, indicate with but two exceptions Demo-
cratic gains in every State. Louisiana and
New Jersey are the exceptions. Arkansas
sends Democratic representation to Con-
gress New York has gone Democratic by
more than thirty thousand, with gain of
several Congressman. Heavy gains are re-
ported in Wisconsin In Illinois the Rad-
Gals lose heavily. In Missouri the straight
out Radical ticket is defeated by an over
whelming majority. In Tennessee Demo-
cratic Governor, Legislature and five Demo-
cratic Congressman are elected. In Alabama
it is reported the Democrats have carried the
State and elected three Congressman. In
every State the good work goes bravely on
and the Democratic strength in the next
House of Representatives, aided by the con-
sentative Republican tariff men of the West,
will, it is hoped, be able to check the infam-
Gus Legislation upon the revenue, which char
acterized the House.

OBITUARY.

Died, on the 18th ultimo, of consumption, at
the residence of her uncle, Mr.. JOHN NEwBER-
RY, of Charles county, Miss JANE s. CAR
RINGTON, daughter of Mr.. SAMUEL EARRING
TON, in the 32d year of her age.
Confirmed in 1863; bright christian; de-
voted to her church; and generous beyond
others to the extent of her MEANS there were
circumstances in the death of this young lady
calculated to rob death of much of its gloom.
u vae..s not that -sh4 rishe5 to die. Her.home
was one of much affection. She wished not to
Leave fond and loved ones behind but she had
no fear of aaath-For her he had no appalling
terror. She knew that her peace had been
made with God through the precious blood of
her Saviour; and that whensoever it should
please God to take her hence lie would receive
her into the realms Of the blessed, "who rest
from their labors" On the last visit of her
Pastor to her sick bed he conversed much with
her about the Paradise of the blessed dead
Then it was, that without a trace of sadness on
her features she related to him her dream a.
bout her own coffin: 81 dreamed it was beau
tiful coffin, decked with flowers, and angels
stood beside it, And when soon after he
came again, called to attend the last sad fune-
raj rites, there indeed was her pretty coffin
decked with flowers, while one little bouquet
still more beautiful lay on her snow white
bosom, which now rested from its quick and
painful heavings. He could not indeed see
heavens lovely messengers Though they may
have stood by all insensible); but his eye was
arrested by the sight of three angel figures en-
bossed on each handle of the coffin. Two stood
on either side leaning over and as if peering
into the open book of the Gospel which rested
on what seemed the Ark of the Covenant. The
third one was on the middle of the handle, in
the posture of flying, as if winging his fight to
Heaven with the news that one more saint was
on her way to the Paradise of the blessed dead.
AS an appropriate ending of this brief no.
tice copy the favorite words of the hymn she
so much loved:
'Jesus can make dying bed
Soft as the downy pillows are
While on His breast lay my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there"
