The Household Tonic.

The efficacy of Hostetter's Celebrated
Stomach Bitters as a specific for recruiting
the enfeebled body and cheering the de-
spending mind has passed into prov
erb. In the United States, where this mar
velous tonic has borne down all opposition
and eclipsed all rivalry, the demand for 1t
has annually increased In heavier and
heavier ratio for years, until at last, the
regular sales of this preparation exceed
those Of all other stomachics combined.
Eminent members of the medical profession
and hospital surgeons without number,
have candidly admitted that the pharma-
copaia of the faculty contains no prescrip-
ton that produces such beneficial effects In
dyspepsia, general debility and nervous dis
ease, as Hostetter's Bitters. To use the lam
guage of venerable physician of New
York, "The Bitters are the purest simulant
and the safest tonic we have" But the uses
of the great vegetable antidote are much
more comprehensive than such praise
would imply. AS preparatory antidote
to epidemic disease, genial stimulant, a
promoter of constitutional vigor, an appe-
tiZer, Il stomachic, and remedy for ner-
vous debility, no medicinal preparation has
ever.attaiued the reputation of Hostetter's
Bitters. 1t is the household tonic OF the
American people, and in all human proba-
bility will be so for centuries to come.
The magnates of science recognize its mer-
its; and that it is emphatically the medi-
cine of the masses, is proved by its vast and
ever increasing sales.

A singular Story.

Says the Elmira Adcertiser, May IS:
Almost, if not quite a year ago, some
half dozen or more Of young lads apd
misses, all of them members OF the fam
lilies Of some of our most reputable citi'
zens, took it into their heads to get
married. Whether it was a premedi
.tated affair, considered as joke, or was
wild freak Of the moment when they
were all collected together, and each
one more or less excited by the presence
OF the others, we cannot say, but The
ceremony was privately and secretly
performed for each couple, and they
were really and truly married. That
many of them consider it merely joke
is borne ont by the fact that alter the
performance, each returned to his or
her home. As time passed along, one
after another confessed their situation
and their conduct to their surprised and
saddened. parents, and-the marriage,
which is said 10 be a legal and binding
one in all these cases, was ackno"l'

The following petition will be pre-
sented to the Board of Supervisors OF
Ohio county at their meeting on Friday
next:
To the Board Of Supervisors Of Ohio
Comfy:
The undersigned respectfully repre-
sent that on the 10Th ult. Il vote was
taken on thequestion of authorizing the
Board of Supervisors Of this county to
subscribe not exceeding one hundred
and fifty thousand (Sl50,000) dollars
to the capital stock of the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling and Kentucky railroad. This
vote has resulted in the defeat OF the
proposed subscription, though a large
majority Of the people voting voted for
it. We are satisfied that this result was
produced by misunderstanding in the
minds of the voters, and that new
election would demonstrate the fact
that at least four-ffths OF the voters of
Ohio county are in favor OF the pro-
posed subscription. Under these cir
cumstances your petitioners respectfully
request that a new submission OF this
question be had to the voters of Ohio
county. We further suggest that, with
view TO a full understanding Of the
terms on which the subscription should
be made, Your Board appoint an agent
to confer with President Scott, in con-
junction with the directors of the
Wheeling, Pittsburgh and Kentucky
Railroad Company, to ascertain the best
terms by which the construction of this
road can be secured.

A Brother Attempts TO Rescue His
Sister from Life OF Shame--A
Dififul Case.


PitifuI Case.
Saturday there appeared in Louis
vile court a Young and comely woman,
dressed in black, named Kate Smith,
who was plaintiff in peace warrant
against her brother, Butler Smith.
She testified that she had taken the
warrant ont for no hatred or illwill she
bore him. but SIMPLY to protect herself
from bodily harm. He had threatened
TO kill her three weeks ago and she had
good reason to believe he would execute
his threat.
Her brothers counsel asked her
where the threat was made. She hesl-
tatcd, but on the question being repeated,
designated the house and locality,
known to he disrepItable. 1t was then
elected that the brother, who has only
one hand, and is an industrious hard
working Young man, tried TO restrain
his sister from leading a vicious life.
He had taken her away from house
of i!l-fame, and in his grief had threat
ened to kill herif she did not keep away
from such houses.
His deep emotion, and the grief de-
pcted on his face, made a sad scene.
The sister looked on, her handsome
features expressing not the slightest IN
dication Of shame or remorse. d.
The Judge, in few remarks, depicted
the awful consequences Of the life which
the Young woman had adopted, and
warned her of the sure result Not
withstanding he recognized the situation
OF the brother, the law compelled the
Court to protect the sister from his VIC.
lence. She was of age, and responsible
to herself -,
The circumstances of the case APP
pealed strongly to the Judge clemency,
and he asked the brother if he would
promise in the future to desist from
violence toward his sister. He replied
with tears running down his honest
face
"Ill promise, sir; but | offered her a
home with me as long as she lived,
Judge, if she would come with me, and
she refused.
"No matter YOU cannot be permitted
TO do her violence. On your promise
| will hold you in your own bond to
keep the peace S5ward her If you
break it and are brought before me
again, / will be compelled to intljct the
sevcrest penalty upon YOU" He gave
the required bond and departed

THE sequel of the war with Prussia
and the existing distractions that now
afflict the French people have affected
France in no way so painfully and bit
terly as in the destruction of the sense
of unity and nationality among her
children. The Dtbats, OF Versailles,
SAYS: "The results Of the civil war will
be to destroy the idea Of country in the
hearts where it found last asylum.
Our fatherland no longer exists; France
has suffered shipwreck. She is placed
between the strangers who occupy her
territory aud the strangers who sit at
the Hotel de Vile; between the guns on
the right bank of the Seine, served by
the Prussians, and those OF the forts on
the left bank, served by Poles, Irish
men, Sclaves, and all the Bohemianism
Of Europe" 1t is lamentably true that
the feeling Of Freuchmen is that France
has ceased to be France, and that
Frenchmen have country no longer.

The Hon. JOHN Quincy ADAMS, who
was lately the candidate of the Democ'
racy Of Massachusetts, for Governor OF
the State, being asked his opinion about
the Fifteenth Amendment and other
matters, in his reply said
The Republican organization can raj
ly TO no cry but a slogan, and conquer
under no standard but spear, That
party needs strife to insure its success,
but good feeling is necessary to good
government
Now, the hostility Of the Fifteenth
Amendment is the stock in trade OF the
fomentors Of strife; is it worth crafty
ing at the risk of permanent subsection ?
The South is CALLED to-day, not by
the presence oil that amendment TO the
Constitution, but by the utter absence of
the Constitution itself They feel a
Congress which assaults them, but they
find no Constitution to protect them.
Is it not silly, then, to squabble about
an amendment which would cease TO be
obnoxious if it was not detached from
its context?
1t is quibbling upon technicality of
law, and relinquishing the substance OF
liberty.

The report of the new Ku-Klux com
mittee is not likely to present facts IN
relation to the actual condition OF the
Southern States any more fairly than
the former one did. AT recent meet
ing in Washington city, Mr. BAYARD Of
fered a resolution to this effect That
the true objects and intent with which
this joint committee was 'apppointed
was TO ascertain, by personal examina'
ton, and the testimony Of witnesses
taken at the respective localities, the
true condition of affairs in the States
lately in instruction, aud that the re
port to be made 10 Congress should be
based upon knowledge and information
so obtained.
This fair and frank proposition, pred
icated upon the action Of Congress was
voted down by strict party division, Il
Republicans to Democrats:
Mr.. VOORHEES, proposed that the
legal rules OF evidence which prevail in
the courts of the United States should
govern the committee and sub-commit-
tee in their investigations.
The Republicans refused, by the same
vote, to be governed by any such rules
of evidence as are universally recognIz,
ed, but claimed the right TO make their
own regulations, and to take testimony
as they deemed most expedient for party
purposes.
Mr.. VAN TRUMP then offered reso-
luton declaring that mere rumor, and
what is known as hearsay testimony in
the courts, should be excluded.
This motion was defeated, as the
others had been, because the Radicals
rely entirely upon fabricated reports
and rumors to make up their catalogue
of "outrages" for political consumption.
