Old Things Have Passed
Away.

This is at least true of the old method of
treating the long abused and much abused
human body. 1t is no longer considered
wise to put a patient to the torture in order
to cure him of disease in which pain Is al
ready undermining the energies Of his sys-
tenn. True science ranges itself on the side
Of nature, and endeavors to assist her in her
fight against disease. This Is the province
of Hostettei's Stomach Bitters, the most ap-
proved tonic ever advertised in this coun-
try. 1t may berecommendeda as fall med
icine, par excellence; for it is in the fall that
biliousness, dyspepsia and malarious levers
are especially prevalent. The frame, ex-
hausted by the heats OF summer, is relaxed
and feeble at its close, and requires, we
may say demands, artificial assistance. Ar.
ford 1t that assistance In occasional doses OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and the evils
referred to may be escaped. Throughout
the far west, and on the steaming alluHial
Of the southern rivers, all the varieties OF
periodical fever are probably rife to-day.
Had course OF Hostelter s Stomach bitt ',,s
been commenced by the sufferers month
ago, 1. e., before the unhealthy season set In,
seyen-eighths of them would in all proba-
bility be in their usual health at the present
time. So much for want OF 1orecaSte. 80
much for not keeping in the house, and
using daily the best safeguard against cpl

THE TAMMANY CORRUPTION.

The following editorial, clipped from
the New York Herald, an independent
supporter of GRANT, most probably
states the facts abou. the crusade on
Tammany:
1t must now be clear to every man of
common sense in New York that the
reform clamor of the past two months
has been nothing more than political
job, designed to affect the approaching
State election and to secure for new
set of men the municipal offices out Of
which some Of the present possessors
have made such ample and tempting
fortunes. The terrible developments
that were to drive from Office the heads
of all the city departments are not
forthcoming; the only public officer
who has yet been judicially pronounced
criminally neglecttul Of his duties, and
who has proved himself an unfit custo-
dian of the public property, has been
taken into the confidence and fellow
ship of the pretended reformers, and we
are now told that the committee of in
vestigation find their labors so arduous
that they will no doubt remain in SEES
sion until after the election. 1t is true
they promise to-day a report on the city
debt, and this they say will not show
our financial condition to be 80
bad as was supposed, but there
is at present no indication Of
the forthcoming of those terrible proofs
OF corruption, unearthed from the Comp
troller's office, which were to over
whelm all our city officials with shame
and send them from their magnificent
brown stone palaces to the white stone
cells of Sing Sing. Indeed, it would
seem as if the prime movers in the
great investigating machine were anx-
ious to keep the Developments precisely
in their present position until latter the
election" and to afford the people no
more light than they at present enjoy.
While they have publicly declared that
they hold in their possession confess
sion of guilt from one important public
officer, they use their influence and their
ingenuity to keep him in Office, instead
of placing him at the bar of justice,
where the whole truth must come to
light. They denounce the Mayor and
the Corporation Counsel when those
officers propose to prosecute the men
who are supposed to have made fraudu-
lent claims upon the city, although such
suits would be the best and surest
method of arriving at tthe truth in re-
gard to the alleged plundering OF the
treasury. In short they are doing and
will do all in their power to keep alive
the recent excitement, and to hold out
promises of startling disclosures until
election day arrives, and their several
objects are duly carried out at the polls.

The ABLRsr men, and men OF the
largest experience in law, legislation
and business, are being selected by our
friends, in every section of this State,
for seats in the Legislature and in
the Constitutional Reform Convention.
This is as it always should be. Hon
eety and capacity should be the qualities
sought in candidates by our County
Conventions, and none other should
have weight. We are glad to observe
that, in most counties, equal attention
is given by our friends in the selection
OF candidates for seats in the Legisla.
ture as for the Convention. The idea
that the coming session of the Legisla'
ture will be an unimportant one, is a
great mistake. Every session is i'm
portant, and the people cannot afford
to be careless in the selection of their
Delegates to it.

IT Is desirable that every Democrat
in the country, yea, every one, attend
the primary meetings to be held in the
respective townships, on Saturday, o.
tober 7, and select strong township
tickets, and also three No. men as
delegates to the County Convention.
If you want Wheeling, the commercial
and manufacturing metropolis Of the
State, and Ohio county, to occupy
the influential and leading position
in the Constitutional Reform Con-
vention and the Legislature their
rank justly entitle them to occupy, you
must send your best men as delegates
to these bodies. And to get good coun'
ty tickets, you must send none but good
men to your County Convention. Lei
there be full turn out Of the masses
at the primary meetings.

We understand that IHoAAs Soofi'
on behalf of the Pennsylvania railroad
company, makes proposition that ii
the citizens along the line will secure
the right of way and prepare the road
bed and bridges for the rails, ne will
iron, stock and operate the road. All
subscriptions for the purposes indicated,
whether by Ohio county or individuals
as we'll as the expense incurred by the
Pennsylvania company in completing
and equippiug the road, will be repre-
scented in the capital of the company as
stock. This is a plain proposition,
which can be understood by plain peo-
pie; and upon it, if we understand it
rightly, the people of Ohio county will
be pretty sure to subscribe literally.
Now, if there is any data in possession
of the Board of Supervisors which will
enable that body to say how much
money will be required to secure the
right of way and do the grading and
bridging necessary, it should take i'm
mediate action on the subject so that
the question of subscribing can be sub
mitted at the general election, ON the Goth
of October. If the friends Of this road
will now 60 to work with a will, they
can have it built without further delay.
And il those over-zealous friends OF the
Baltimore& Ohio railroad company who
injudiciously opposed thelast proposition
desire to render that great corporation a
real benefit, let them reverse their action
and atone for the past by working hon
estly in favor OF a subscription from
Ohio county to the Pittsburgh road.
For if the friends of the Baltimore road
expect to get from the city of Wheeling
and the county of Ohio the favors which
we know that road desires, their most
certain and speedy plan of getting them
is to cease their opposition to the inter
ests of others. There is room enough
and business enough for both railroads
the people want both roads, and the in
terests of the city and county demand
both roads. Subscriptions will be made
by the county toward the completion o.
each, if the friends of each are willing
to 60 forward hand.in-hand; but if the
friends OF the one continue to fight the
other, as was the case on both sides last
June, the city Of Wheeling may bid
goodbye to all hopes of having rail
roads of her own, and, wrapping hel
mantle of green grass around her, may
quietly enjoy her proper soubriquet o

CHARLESTON has not yet built its new
hotel. With the Legislature, Supreme
Court of Appeals, and those who are
attracted to the Capital by these bodies,
the Inequalities of the good people of
Charleston will be taxed to their utmost
without having to accommodate the
members of the Convention. 1t will
probably become-if not an actual ne
cessity-very desirable for the latter
body to adjourn, Immediately after its
assembling, to some more eligible point
for its regular sitting. Wheeling ought
to offer free hall for the sessions of
the Convention, and she presents first.
class accommodations in every other
respect. 1t is fair to presume that the
Convention, consulting the interests of
the State, the convenience of those who
may desire to visit it during it's session,
and the comfort of its own members,
will adjourn to Wheeling.

Reality is too real. Only prosy, mat
ter. of fact minds seek for real things
1t is for the most part the unreal that
makes life enjoyable. Deprive man of
all the illusions and delusions of life,
and he would be but little more than
clod of organized earth 1t requires
the threefold kingdoms of illusions,
delusion and reality to enable the hu>
man mind to iform noble conceptions.
There must be imagination to picture,
delusion to sharpen judgment, and re-
ality to furnish elements for combina>
tions Active minds soon tire of the
real things of life, and learn to live
much in the pure regions of the ideal.
As a tree or plant only wants just
enough of earth to keep it up and brace
it upright, so the mental organism
wants only enough of the material to
make secure anchorage; to be able to
touch bottom is all that is necessary.
The human mind delights in illu-
sion, bnt abhors delusion. Illusion
is merely an unreal image, pre-
scented to the bodily or mental vision,
and known at the time to be un-
real as. for example, painting con-
tanning sleeping beauty, a winding
stream, a clump of trees, setting sun
and an evening SKY. Not one of these,
nor yet the whole, will ever be mistaken
for what they are not, and yet they
may produce all the real emotions
of real sleeping beauty seen upon
the bank of a clear winding stream,
beneath the shade of clump of trees,
at evening when the sun is setting.
But let Wall Street sharper build a
house of paper in exact imitation of
brick and brown stone, and sell the
same TO some confident Miss Nancy,
under the impression that she is get
ting substantial palace, and when she
discovers the cheat, there is manifest
delusion. The pleasing object that
allures and delights il source Of un-
bounded qualification while the snowy
imitation that deceives, is source Of
unbounded disgust and adherence.
Now, Notwithstanding all the cry
that is made against illusions and delu'
slons, notwithstanding all the eager
search and longing for the true and the
real, still very much of life is made uF
of illusion, and by far the greater part
.ofall the enjoyment and all the good
all the permanent good that is, comes
by and through some form of illusion
Life begins almost with illusion. Th'

DAMP CHURcHEs.-Tt is surprising,
at this season of the year, when most
people are affected by atmospheric
changes, the apathy or indifference
which exists in country places of having
the damp, sepulchral air of churches,
locked up during the six days of the
week, improved by heating before the
congregation assemblies. We have
known persons predisposed to thoracic
affections, suffer severely by sitting in
cold churches throughout the morning
service. All we can say is, that when
the temperature and condition Of the
atmosphere of churches are neglected,
it is an essential of great moment over
looked. and that persons coming to
worship are thereby made to suffer, not
through any incaution on their part.
but owing to utter carelessness on the
part of those who should know better.
Our remark will meet. it is hoped, with
the attention which the importance OF
the subject demands.
