Unanswerable Arguments.

tials of this unequalled tonic and Alternative,
extending over a period OF nearly twenty
years, include individuals OF every class,
and residents Of every cline, and refer to
the most prevalent among the complaints
which afIiict and haras5 the human family.
Either multitude of people, strangers TO
each other, have been annually seized with
an insane and motiveleSs desire to deceive
the public, or Hostetter's Bitters, for no less
than a fifth OF a century, have been afford

GOVERNOR BAKER, of Indiana, in his
recent message, dwells at length and
with great severity upon the facility
with which citizens Of other States, af-
ter q pretended residence in Indiana,
obtain divorces and then return 10 ;heir
homes, from which they fled for that
very purpose. The laws under which
such schemes can be carried out, he
says, are reproach 10 the civilization
of the age, and are in violation OF the
commity Of sister States. The Cover
nor recommends that the clause Of the
statute which authorizes divorces for q
cause that the court NAV deem suiii-
cient should be repealed. and that the
clause making cruel treatment good
cause Of divorce should be so amended
as to require the treatment to be cruel
and inhuman or cruel and barbarous.
He also recommends certain changes
in the practice of divorce cases, which
would render impossible the collusive or
fraudulent separation of husband and
wife. and says that with such amend
ments Indiana divorces would soon
cease to be advertised in the Atlantic
cities as marketable commodities.

Narrow Gauge Railroads.

Considerable popular interest Is ue-
inc manifested in the construction OF
narrow gauge railroads for local traffic
For the service now performed by
branch lines" feeders &c. OF the
great railroads, it is demonstrated that
a narrow gauge road can be constructed
at a comparatively trifling cost which
will answer all practical purposes. The
gauge found most convenient is three
feet and six inches in width, and both
the road and the rolling stock are con-
structed in every respect like those now
in use, except as to size. The difference
in cost is surprising. 1t is estimated
by competent engineers that railroad
of three and half feet gauge can be
constructed through any ordinary sec
ton of country, for from six thousand
10 ten thousand dollars per miie-but
little more than the cost o. good
turnpike. Locomotives, guaranteed
10 draw on level 4S5 tons;
on a 60 foot grade los tons; or 90
a 100 foot grade 6j tons; are manutac-
tured by BALDWIN & Company for from
$1,000 to $1,000 Box cars of 500
pounds capacity are manufactured for
$500; and passenger cars with capacity
for thirty passengers are furnished for
$1,000 each.
The capacity of such road is esti-
mated at about 100000 passengers and
100000 tons of freight annually; which
is much more than would. be needed by
any local line in West Virginia during
the next twenty years.
The great want all over this State is
good roads. The means Of communi-
cation between some Of our most i'm
portant towns is sadly behind the age,
while there is scarcely any outlet for
the productions OF many portions Of
the State. In some quarters, where
nature has bestowed her gifts with Law.
ish hand, there are no roads that will
admit the passage Of even the rudest
kind Of wheeled vehicles and the old
fashioned pack-saddle is still in use.

living by sending to market a few sad
dies of venison or few pounds of GIN
seng from region that might soon be-
come populous and wealthy through the
labors of the miner and the manufac-
turer, if good roads could be provided
to carry their products speedily and
safely to market. A few of these mar

SPECIAL NOTICES.
The Result of Exhaustion

The natural result of exhaustion OF
strength by excessive labor or action Is a
feeling OF weakness, dizziness, heaviness,
WEAKNESS, languor of body or mind, &c.
Persons of weak constitution, or whose
habits are sedentary, frequently complain
of this relaxed condition Of the vital ener-
gies; and when persons Of O nervous tenn
perament are thus weakened and debili-
tated, disease inevitably follows, unless 1t
is at once checked and overcome. All who
suffer from these causes alike require a
remedy which will strengthen the system
without exciting 1t, and awaken feeling
OF true enjoyment, so that life may become
a source of pleasure. MISHLERS HERB
BITTERS has won its way into the conf
dence of thousands Of this class Of pesons
who warmly indorse it as the best inVigor-
ating agent and the most potent and genial
OF all tones and alternatives for strengthen
ing and restoring the physical constitution.

went under the ice, and floated down

thin, that he broke through with his

,,ommi..ioners 10 san Domingo.


Our beloved President is as much
,ickled about his new San Domingo
Commissioners as child with 9 new
TOW. He has been in a splendid humor
for two or three days; don't swear, ex-
cept good naturally; and has been CIV
ing his personal attention to the ar
rangement Of all the minor details OF
the expedition. In the appointment OF
the commissioners, he has manifested
the same facility for digging up. strange
characters that has always made his
cabinet appointments the surprise and
wonder of the nation. BEN WADE was
resurrected because he was out of job
and is fully competent to "cuss the
Dominicans into annexation, whether
they want to come or not. President
WHlrs of Cornell University, may be
a very good man for the place,
but assuredly no one but GRANT would
have thought of naming him as mem
Der OF the commission. Professor
HOWE is mainly known to the country
a. the husband of Mrs. JULIA WARD
HOWE, a very talented lady and con-
tributor to several OF the leading east
ern magazines. We believe that this
is the first appearance OF either WHITE
or HOWE in political life and ii is some
what against their chance for a brilliant
or popular career that they are sent to
San Domingo for the purpose OF white
washing one OF the blacklist jobs that
has ever been contemplated in Wash
ington. Three or four newspaper cor
respondents accompany the expedition
and lest CABRAL and his banditti should
take fancy to the commissioners and
hold them as hostages for the abandon
ment of the annexation scheme, a COM
panv or united States marines goes
with them as a guard. Should no ac-
cident befal the party, they expect to
be back about the lst Of March, when,
from papers now in the Departments
and by aid of gazetteer they can COM
pile a report, not forgetting, to embody
in il some stirring sentences from GRANT
and Buffers message to Congress.
