Winter Wisdom.

Warm clothing alone will not protect the
body against the consequences of the sud-
den depression oftemperature which is con-
comitant of early winter. Flannel next the
skin preserves the animal he1t, but 1t does
not impart animal vigor. That property Is
the special prerog alive Of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which is therefore specific
protection against a majority OF the com
plants which are most common at this
season. For example, a course OF the great
vegetable invigorant, commenced now,
will be almost sure TO preclude chills and
fever, bilious collie, disorders OF the stomach,
constipation, and many other complaints
which are often the direct or indirect effect
of an atmosphere surcharged with cod, I'M
wholesome vabor. Moreover; the system
toned and regulated by this means IL much
more likely 10 resist pulmonary disease
than it would otherwise be; for the infiu-
eaes of searehins r,no'li.iue perVaues Ill tile
organs, and every fiber and tissue OF the
frame. Persons whose vital powers are
weak, especially invalid ladies and the
aged, are earnestly recommended not to
face the winters rigOr without having re-
course TO this safe and sufficient means of
reinforcing enfeebied nature. Much suf-
fering may be escaped, much danger avert
ed by following this council. Better late
than never, is good proyerb, but 1t is bet
ter to be early than late.

ing as the people do radically upon the
merits of the question at issuef OF
course not. A commission means Sim
ply an indefinite postponing Of any
settlement, and expense to the States in
the way Of per diem and expenses Of
commissioners-nothing more and
nothing less. 1.-THE better course to be
pursued is for the two States to submit
the whole question to arbitration. Let
each State select one disinterested ar
bitrator, and the two thus selected, q
third, to whom the whole subject shall
be submitted and their finding to be
final and binding upon the two States.
This is a fair and equitable mode Of
adjustment, and if rendered by you i
cannot but believe West Virginia will
promptly accept it. If she refuse, you
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that you have exhausted all honorable
means 10 obtain a settlement, and will
be amply justified in seeking your rem
edy through the only fundamentally
remaining to you-the Supreme Court
Of the United States" u This Ian
guage was used by me in my last an
nual message, and the conclusion cx-
pressed is my opinion now.

rights Of the people and States in
iorcible terms and, taking the latest
act, the suspension of the habeas corpus

in the following language;
Such a condition of affairs could
never have beet apprehended by the
fathers OF the republic, having before
them the experience Of the past genera
tons and past nationalities, and actua-
ted by the most profound regard OF the
liberty of the citizen as we'll as the
efficiency of the government. With a
foresight amounting almost to pre-
science, they formed our government for
perpetuity. They omitted no principle
necessary to it's preservation, and they
included none which properly admin
istered could work its destruction. The
absorption OF the powers and functions
of the States by the Federal Govern

as the notification or reputation

individual action of the States,

GOVERNOR WALKERS MESSAGE.

Governor WALKERS message to the
Virginia Legislature, which was read
before that body last Wednesday, re-
ceives many compliments at home and
abroad. The Richmond papers are
profuse in their expressions of approval
fits dignity, ability and force, and the
New York dailies speak OF it as giving
the keynote of the campaign against
GRANT. We copy elsewhere that por-
ton of tue message that relates to
national atfairs, and also the Governors
allusion to the apportionment OF the
public debt between Virginia and this
State.
From the latter it may be seen that
he adheres ID his former ideas, in rela-
lion to the proper mode Of settlement,
and insists upon an arbitration by Cit,
zens of other States In fact lie seems
willing to conside. no other plan OF
adjustment, and quotes and reiterates
the language Of his former message IN
which it is distinctly threatened that il
West Virginia declines 10 submit to the
arbitration OF three strangers IN the
manner proposed, legal remedy should
at once be sought in the Supreme Court
of the United States. West Virginia
must either comply with y proposition
that she believes unwise and unaccepta-
Die, or she is to be aIraigned before the
courts and compelled to pay a debt
which she has always expressed her
willingness to discharge and is ready TO
meet Just as soon as il is ascertained.
There is just a little air OF dictation
about the Governor treatment Of this
subject that is not exactly popular on
this side Of the mountains, and which,
among our unregenerate mountaincers
may retard rather than hasten the set
element desired According to Gov
ernor WALKER, Virginia comes to us
with her uhiml,sm, leaving no room
for concession; not admitting the posi-
bility of any error on her part; not
willing to offer West Virginia any other
alternative than unquestioning obedi'
cnce or immediate punishment.
The Legislature of West Virginia
Las declined to agreee to the apportion-
ment of the debt by a Board OF Arbitra-
lion composed Of citizens OF other States.
Now let us see whether some other
plan may not be devised that may be
tree from the objections which onr
people see, or what is to the same pur-
pose think they see, in the one proposed
by the Governor OF Virginia. We are
not disposed to he obstinate nor unrea-
sonable in relation to the matter, but
simply desire to have something like a
fair show. We look to the Legislature
this winter to propose some plan OF
adjustment that may be acceptable to
both the parties concerned and thus put
an end to what may otherwise prove an
unpleasant and Improbable strife. .

A Remarkable Family.

Here is the history of remarkable
Kentucky family, us told by Kentucky
paper: About one mile from jamestown,
Russell County, there lives one Of the
most remarkable families in I'LL this COM
monwealth, and probably in the United
States. Mr.. james Jeifries, who is now
in this city, serving upon the petit jury
in the United States Court, tells his own
story, and says that he was married be.
fore he was seventeen years old, his wife
being only five days younger than him
self. They lived together seven years
without children. when his wife gave
birth to twins, II boy and girl. In the
fifteen years which followed, nineteen
children were born to the happy couple,
each Of the first three births being twins,
and each subsequent birth alternating
between twins and single births, until the
fifteen years were accomplished and nine.
teen children composed the family circle,
seven pair of twins being born during
the time. MI. Jelries is only 40 years
old, and is still youthful in appearance
and very stout. His wife never had bet
ter health in all her life than ut present,
though she will not weigh hundred
pounds. Her greatest weight at Any
time was hundred and ten pounds. The
boy of the first twins now weighs hun
dred and sixty-fve pounds, the girl n
hundred and twenty-five pounds. All
the boys who are grown have made large
men; the girls are of good size and all
the children healthy. But five out of
nineteen have died. Mr.. Jeffries hns ten
brothers, all Of whom nre large men, and
within the families OF these eleven bro
thers tlereare thirty.seven pairs Of twins,
making seventy.four twin children, to
say nothing OF the host OF single births.
Five Of Mr.. Jeffries' children afe mar
ried, and, added to all these singular
facts, notwithstanding the absence of
silyery locks on his head, he is tho grand
father Of five children.
