The Lesson Of Nature.

Torpor is the characteristic of winter.
Vegetation dies or falls into state Of trance.
The whole aspect OF inanimate nature
teaches us that there is a paralyzing in
fiuence in the air, and ought to teach us that
our bodies require an increase OF vital power
TO contend with II. Some Of even the warm
blooded animals bury themselves in the
earth and remain in state OF partial stupc-
faction until the season is over, and the
elixir of the spring sunshine stimulates
their stagnant blood, and restores their
vigor. But man, although he feels the in
tiuence of the season, can protect himself
against its inclemency. He has fuel to warm
him externally, and can tone and strength
en- his internal organization and cndow II
with the extra amount Of vitality which
the circumstances require. OF all invigor-
ants that have ever been recommended for
this purpose, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is the purest and the best. Fortified by the
daily use OF this wholesome vegetable
tonic, the human system may defy the
chills and damps Of winter in any latitude.
Its effect is to promote brisk and regular
circulation of the blood, and activity In all
the secretive organs. Without the slightest
tendency to produce fever, 1t imparts
healthful glow to the surface and stimulates
the exterior vessels to discharge, in the
form of gentle perspiration, the useless
matter eliminated from the blood. Thus
the system is kept unclogged, Fever and
ague, biiousness, indigestion and collie, all
OF which are the common consequences OF
the searching damps and low temperature
of winter may be avoided las we'll as cured)
by q course of this genial tonic and altera-

Wits appended.
As this whole matter appearsto hahg
on the question OF offering and refusing,
the affidavits, judge, will satisfactorily
settle it, and are in accord with my
statement published yesterday. 1t may
be proper to direct attention to the lat,
Ter part of the card Of Messrs. Jacob

trary we asked Tor and received on sew
eral occasions letters so addressed
Exactly so, and they might have added,
those refused were sent to T. NJ. Harris,
which demolishes entirely the structure
erected by Major D. ] charitably con-
clude that Mr.. Mitchell has forgotten
the facts of his rejection OF the COM
munications referred to; his reply may

nection with it here.

Publication OF the Flick Amend.
ment.

In response to resolution Of inqui-
~ passed by the Legislature, Governor
STEVENSON transmitted to that body
special message concerning the publica-
ton of the FLICK Amendment He
says:
At the time the order Of publication
was made there was no communication
with the seat Of government by tele-
graph, 80 that direction could only be
given through the mails, which were ir-
regular and uncertain. Still | believe
the advertisements were sent in time to
have been inserted three months in one
paper in each county in the State where
a newspaper is published, if they had
been inserted as soon as received. In a
few cases the time of publication was a
trifle less than three months, butin such
cases | am satisfied that this was in
consequence of delay in delivering the
advertisements as newspapers further
off and not so easy Of access as those
which published less than three
months, inserted the amendment twelve
weeks or more. OF eighteen newspa-
pers which have sent copies of the ad-
vertisement, with their bills, to my Of
fee, two of them inserted the proposed
amendment two months and halfpre-
vious to the last general election, three
of them for eleven weeks, twelve of
them for twelve weeks, or three months,
and one of them for three months and
five days. A few newspapers have not
vet presented their claims, but l am
satisfied that if ordinary diligence was
used by the proprietors, the publication
must have been made for the time pre-
scribed in the Constitution. shall be
pleased at any time to communicate to
you any additional information upon
this subject that may come into my
possession. w. +. STEVENSON.

The True Value Of q Thing.

Experience by those who have tried and
been cured by remedy is one of the best
tests of It's merits, and whilst we would not
wish to speak disparagingly Of other reme-
dies we would encourage all those who
may be either afflicted with recent or
chronic diseases of the lungs or air passages
to try a bottle of DIR. KEYsER's LUNG
CURE. 1t is exceedingly valuable both on
account of its healing virtues and
its expectorant properties, whilst it
cleans the blood, ii heals the lungs
and strengthens the system. No remedy
that we are aware of has superior CLAIMS to
public confidence. DR.. Keyser's principal
office for lung examinations and the treat
ment of chronic diseases, No. l67 Liberty
street, Pittsburgh. 81 50 per bottle. Ifyour
druggist does not keep it send five dollars
TO DR.. Keyser and he will send four bottles
securely boxed, by express,with full direc-
tons how to use it.

Total of United States,

THE Registration law the Governor
concludes did not work well for his
party at the last election, and he thinks
that it is more desirable to have no
law at all upon the subject, than to
have one that is but partially obeyed
or utterly dlsregarded." If the Cover
nor had written that letter to Elias
Cunningham Registrar" instead Of
Moses Cunningham, Registrar of
Braxton county, the law might have
worksd better. Moses was Demo
crat-"Elias" was not-and the Governor
could not in this case repeat the beauti
full lines-"A rose by any other name
will smell as sweet"
On the Flick Amendment the Cover
nor becomes patriotic and economical.
The rebels ought by all means to be
enfranchised, but a convention is not to
be thought of to accomplish that end,
because, he says, it will be entirely too
expensive. 1t is simply ridiculous to
hear Radical talk about economy.
The Governor very well knows that a
convention is to be called In any event,
which will accomplish all that the
Flick Amendment can, and strike OF
other scraggy excresences from the Or
ganic law which are absolutely neces-
sary to our advancement. Then why
expend $4,000 (the Governors own
estimate of the cost of an election) to
adopt only partial remedy, instead OF
going directly to the main work, and
using that sum as a partial payment
Of expenses? The Governor talks
much better on this subject now, how
ever, than he did in his speeches and
instructions to Registrars before the
election. Weston Democrat.

The Reverend Athanase Coquerel fs will deliver
two lectures at Cooper Union the 18th and Goth OF
this month, upon the two Sieges of Paris both of
which he witnessed. Our citizens will not have
another opportunity Of hearing the story of these
great Historical events told this bril-
liant speaker and noble will tell
it. He stands first among the pulpit orators
of France not only by his fervd and massive elo-
quencc but also by his energy of conviction and the
broad and liberal humanity which breathes through
all his discourses He is well worthy full and en-
thusiastc hearing representative of the best and
purest school of French Professionalism and Republi
canisIn for he is Republican without violence
and Protestant without bigotry. AS practical
worker and talker, his name has gained in the late
war the blessings Of the wounded and the destitute
and has twice been used by his fellow-citzens "a
rallying point Of republican principles. lie speaks
English with singular and grace, and Is
doubly worthy of the kindest reception both for
what he will say and for the cause which he repre-
sents. We join the Directors Of these lectures IN
hoping that every lover of Orsory every friend OF
Republicanism in France, every person curious IN
the distinctive qualities and methods of Gallic
genius, every admrer of personal devotion to duty
and humanity in hours Of national peril VIII seize
this occasion to hear Mr.. COquerel.

The compromise proposed by Sir William
Armstrong, in behalf of the iron-masters, to
the Newcastle strikers appears reasonable, and
will, eventually, give the workmen all they
have been striving for. The masters have
held out against fixing the standard of time
for labor at ffty-four hours per week while
unfinished contracts were on hand. The prop
ositiOn to fix tho standard at that rate during
the year would be only just to the employers,
and a reduction to tifty-four hours at the be-
ginning of the new year would be q conceS-
sion to the workmen of the main part of their
claim. Bat the compromise is not yet COM
