BY ridiculous misapplication of Ian
guage, invalids are sometimes said 70 s-enjoy
very poor health" but 1t Il not ON record
that any human being was ever spoken of
as enjoying chills and fever. And yet there
are thousands, at this moment, in one or the
other of the two stages of the disorder, who
might just as well have avoided it as not
If there is anything demonstrable in thera-
peutics, it is that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers Is an antidote to intermittent fevers--
No instance can be cited in which it has
been taken, either as safeguard against
this class of diseases or as a remedy for them
and failed TO produce the desired effect. The
season when malarious fevers are rite, has
commenced, and no inhabitant of any dis
trict subject to their visitations should be
without this great preventive and remedy.
Indeed, it is most potent protection against
all the ailments which prevail In the spring
months. From marsh and pool, and from
all moist soils are now rising the mephitic
elements which give birth TO fever. indiges-
ton, biliousness, colics, and q whole host of
epidemic and other maladies. Aid the system
to resist them. Enersize and regulate all
the animal functions with this reinforcing
agent. This precaution is as necessary in
cities as in new settlements, for malarious
fevers are now almost as common i'm the
great centres of population as on the Dor
ders of the southern bayous and marshes
and the rich agricultural regions of the
west. The preventive and remedy is Access
sible to all. Who will be unwise enough to
brave recklessly the danger it would avert?

Our Reduced Rates.

THE WEEKLY CLARION at two dollars, and
THE SEMI-WEEKLY CLARION at four dollars
per year, is certainly as low as newspapers
can be published in this latitude; and
very liberal subscription list, with rigid
adherence to the cash system, can alone
justify the publishers at such rates. In
opening a new set of books with the new
year, we have dropped the names of about
eight hundred who are either in arrears for
the paper, or have rot seen proper to renew.
We hope to have the pleasure of re-enter-
ing each name. If not, we have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that there are yet host who
prize THE CLARION sufficiently to advance
the moderate subscription price. In future,
the paper will be discontinued when time
paid for expires. Our readers who fail o:
decline to comply with orr terms, must not
take exception when they miss The CLAIR
on at their post Office. Just before time ex-
pires the usual Y mark will be found on
the margin.

From the Pittsburg Paper.

A few years ago and a cotton mill
south of Mason and Dixon's line would have
been considered, in some sense, curiosity.
Now there are mills in almost every South
ern State, and the success of these has at
tracted capital, and the prospect is highly
fayOrably to the presumption that before the
present decade closes two-thirds of the cot
ton grown in the South will be manufac-
tured there.
During last year there were 637 mills run
ming in the Northern States, working esq.,
779 spindles. These mills used 74S,1 03 bales
Of cotton, while in the Southern States 100
mills, employing 292,22l spindles, wove
69.067 bales into fabrics. The increase
throughout the country in the number of
mills, spindles, and bales consumed over the
previous year is quite marked. The figures
show an increase of 350,443 spindles, and in
the consumption of cotton of Il, $40 bales, or
8 O66. 460 pounds. Massachusetts is, of
course, at the head of the cotton-spinning
industry of the country, having Us mills
81, 149 looms, and 30S,SlS spindles, and con-
Stunning about 115,0O0,000 pounds of cotton.
The prospects of the manufacturers are at
present. owing to many cause.-the COM
bined effect of q present excess in supply
and the war in EIrope-better than they
have been for long time.
1t may be well to mention in this connec-
ton that cotton at present is manufactured
here in the north at less cost than in the
south, owing to the fact that the price Of
labor is higher there. Female operatives,
so plenty and cheap in New England, are
not abundant in Georgia and Mississippi,
and a great per centage of the looms are in
the hands of men, who, as a matter of
course, cannot afford to work as low as the
women of the north. This is disadvan-
tage under which the Southern manufacture
ers labor ut present. but il is to be presumed
it will be removed at an early day by the
importation of women operatives and the
educating of the negro women to manage
the looms.
But while the South has to contend with
this, it has an advantage over the North
a high-priced labor market; its raw materi-
al has not to pay heavy tax in the shape of
costly transportation, both to and from the
mills. This fact is bound to make the
South, at no distant day, the centre of the
cotton manufacturing interests of the world.
Not even the mills of Lancashire viii be
able to compete with manu- factories standing
in the shadow of the '.gin."

Book PUBLISHING Messrs. ID.
Appleton & Co., are among the most extern
sive publishers in this world of ours. Their
first publication was a little book called
"Daily Crumbs" since which time they
have furnished literary food to millions.
Their constantly increasing business has
necessitated quite a number of removals,
until they now occupy one of the most con-
spicuous and eligible sites on the great
thOroughfare of New York-Nos. $40 and
81, Broadway. The building they occupy
istwo hundred feet in length by fifty in
width, and is six stories high, besides base
ment and basement. Each floor covers
aspace of nearly quarter of an acre in
area. In this store upward of one hundred
persons are constantly employed, though
the printing and binding of the firm are
done altogether in another vast establish
ment in Brooklyn, covering an acre and
quarter of ground, and where about five
hundred persons are employed.

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.

EIVE years experience in the use of this
IL Guano in the culture of Cotton, has given
it a standard character for excellence unsur-
passed by any other Fertilizer. Experience,
through series of years, has demonstrated
that an application of 200 pounds per acre,
increases the crop three-fold; while an APP
plication of 100 pounds per acre, doubles the
production. At this rate of increase, with
cotton at present low prices, the investment
in this guanO pays from $50 to 500 per cent
profit.
The large fixed capital invested by the Pa
cife Guano Company in the production of this
GuanO, affords the surest guarantee of its con-
tinued excellence.
