Cheering Facts for the Bilious.

Every day demonstrates more clearly that
liver complaint, in all its distressing 70 ms,
can be controlled and cured without diff
Guilty or inconvenience. 1t is an obstinate
disease, but It's obstinacy is not proof against
the pertinacious, remedial and restorative
operation of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
That genial corrective compels the organ to
do its duty. It must secrete regularly and
BEAUTIFULLY under the influence of the Bit
tiers Their action brings it back from a
state of rebellion into perfect harmony with
the laws of health If there is-costiveness
it disappears; if there Is side ache, or bacl
ache, it ceases; if the skin and the white,
of the eyes are tinged with superfluous bile
they receiver their natural hue; if the APP
petite is gone, it returns; If the digestion i
impaired, it is restored; in brief, whateve
the symptoms of the complaint may be, ant
whatever the phase it has assumed, a cure /
certain. Such are the uniform effects 0
this preparation where bilious disease ha
been already developed; but in cases wher
! there is merely a constitutional tendency t
| liver complaint, it may be prevente
| throughout life by the regular use, in small
quantities, of this palatable antidote. Thes
are proven facts, and should be serious

Black Turning VVhHte---A re
nlarkabIe TRANSFORMATIONS.

The fguratve affirmation that tiger can
not change his stripes or a leopard his spots,
is put to fault by an actual occurrence in
this city-no less than a negro changing
from black to white The man is Il we'll
known hotel porter, and the best authorities
can attest the fact of his turning from a man
with black skin to man with an uncom-
monty white skin. The process of this
change Of colors has been going on for sevr
eral years. 1t commenced by the almost
unnoticabIe peeling off Of the skin of his
face, and ended in the complete transfgura,
ton Of the skin of his body, so that now no
one can perceive, save by the facial fea
lures, that he was ever anything but 4 very
pale white man 1t was first thought to be
some new disease, but the man has been
and is now, as healthy as any of his fellow
mortals. We believe this is the first case
of the kind known to books or experience

EARTHQUAKE IN CHINA.

Our Minister in China, Governor Lowe, has
forwarded to the Secretary of State the fol-
lowing translation Of report made by the
Chinese Governor General of the province in
which it occurred, of the earthquake at Bath
ang, in Sechuen.
81 have ascertained that Bathang, lying on
very elevated spot beyond the borders OF
the province, about 2G0 miles west from Lii
tang, and more than thirty post-stations from
the district town of Ta-tsien, on the high
road to Thibet, has suffered severely by an
earthquake. About IL o'clock A. NJ, on the
4th Of April, 1870, the earth trembled so vio-
iently that the government offices, tenn
pies, granaries, stone and storehouses and
fortiheations, with all the common dwellings
and the temple of Ting-lin, were at once
0verthrown and ruined. The only exception
was the hall in the temple grounds, called
Ta-chao, which stood unharmed in its isola-
ten. A few OF the troops and people escaped
but most of the inmates were crushed and
killed under the falling timber and stone
Flames also burst out in four places. which
strong winds drove about until the heavens
were darkened with smoke, and their roaring
was mingled with the lamentations Of the dis
tressed people.
On the 10th the flames were beaten down,
but the rumbling noises were still heard under
ground like distant thunder, and the earth
rocked and rolled like a ship in a storm at the
mercy Of the waves. The multiplied miseries
Of the afflicted inhabitants were increased by a
thousand fears; but in about ten days matters
began to grow quiet and the motion to cease.
The grain tax collector at Bathan says that for
several days before the earthquake the water
had overfiowed the dyke, but after the earth
cracked, in many places black and fetid water
spurted out in furious manner II one
poked il the squirting instantly followed, just
Is 10 the case with the salt wells and fire wells
In the eastern part of the province, and this
explains how it happened that fire followed
be earthquake in Bathang. As nearly as is
there were destroyed two large

temples, the offices of the collector of grain
tax, the local magistrate, and the colonel, the
Tinglin temple, and nearly seven hundred
fathoms of wall around ii, and 35l rooms in
all inside; six smaller temples numbering 22l
rooms, besides l,S49 rooms and houses of the
common people.
"The number Of people, soldiers land lamas
killed by the crash was 2,29S, among whom
were the local magistrate and his second in
office.
The earthquake extended from Bathang
eastward to Pang- Chahe-mup, westward to
Nan-tun, on the south to Lin-tsrh-shih, and
on the north to the salt wells of A-tuntsz, a
circuit of over 400 miles. 1t occurred stimuli
taneously over the whole of this region. In
some places steep hills split and sunk into
deep pits in others, hills on level spots be-
came PERCEPTIONS cliffs, and the roads and
highways were rendered impossible by OBJ
structions. The people were scattered and
beggared like autumn leaves, and this calam-
ity to the people of Bathang and vicinity was
really one of the most distressing and destruc-
tive that has happened. The Governor Gen
eral twice memorialzed the Emperor respect
ing it, who granted aid to relieve the misery
reopen the roads between the posthouses, and
rebuild or repair the offices and dwellings as
they were needed. Many are now resuming
their occupations, and the roads are very
rassable."

The Boston Journal says the marine arrivals
at that port week before last were very nu-
merous, and many valuable cargoes have been
added to the stock of merchandise there. The
ships David Brown and National both from
Calcutta, arrived Friday deeply laden with
East India produce, besides number of
barques and briggs from Europe and the West
Indies. The foreign trade of Boston is show
ing a large increase this season, the gain in
the imports since January being nearly
So, 400, 900, as compared with the correspond
ing period last year. The total value thus far
is about S25, 100000, and the goods to arrive
within short time will add largely to this
sum. There are now, on the way from the
East Indies sixteen ships and barques and
those from different ports in Europe will num-
Der forty seven, besides large fleet with the
| West Indies, all laden with full cargoes. The
prospects of the coastwise trade are also good
and with the resumption of work at the coal
mines, the shipment of that article will soon
give active employment to the large feet OF
golfers which are already beginning to arrive
more freely.
