Poisonous Medicines.

The theory that the virus of disc can be
safely counteracted by doses of poison, is false
and dangerous. Within the last twenty-five
years, not less than q score of virulent poisons
have been added to the repository of the medi-
cal profession. They are given in small doses,
otherwise they would destroy life Immediately;
but even in minute quantities, they produce,
ultimately, very disastrous effects. 1t is UNI
wise and unphilosophical to employ, asfeme-
dies, powerful and insidious drugs, which, in
subjugating one disease, sow the seeds of anoth-
er still more unmanageable. None of these
terrible indictments operates with as much d.
rectness and certainty upon the causes of dis
ease as Hostetter' Stomach Bitters, tonic and
corrective, ,oithoM a single deleterious ingredi-
emit in its composition. Arsenic and quinia are
given for intermittents; bromide of potassium
for nervous disorders; strychnine and prussic
acid for general debility; mercury, in various
forms, for liver complaint; preparations of
chloroform and opium for sleeplessness and
yet these deadly drugs do not compare, as spe-
cifcs for the diseases above enumerated, with
that wholesome vegetable invigorant and alter
alive, while they are all SO pernicious that it is
astonishing any physician should take the re-
sponsibility of prescribing them. Let invalids
for their own sakes try the Bitters before they
resort to the poisons. The relief they will ex-
perience from course of the harmless specific
will render recourse to the unsafe prepare
tons referred to quite unnecessary.

Lost Relics OF the Past.


Among the saddest losses that the country
has had to mourn for some time is the des-
truction of the old Colonial and Revolutions
~ buildings by FIRE at Alexandra, Va. The
country is just getting old enough to cherish
warmly the memories and relics of its young
days, and when it is known that among the
houses destroyed by this FIRE were the Masonic
Lodge of which Washington was the Master,
and the old Colonial Court House, in which
his provincial troops were quartered 10 1854,
from the door of which Braddock marched to
his defeat'in 1855, and in which Elk President
Washington gave his last vote. 10 1899, a
feeling of genuine sorrow is likely to come
over our hearts. We could better have SPAR
ed many richer and grander edices. These
relics are the things that certify. the truth OF
history, and in this age of iconoclasm, when
it is argued that William Tell and Shakespeare

In Vermont, out of every twenty one
couples who are married, one is destined to
be divorced; in Massachusetts, one couple are
divorced out of every forty-four; in Ohio, one
out of every twenty seven; in Connecticut,
one out ofevery eleven; wilhelm Chicago the
number of those divorced far exceeds the num-
Der of those married, for the reason that dis
contented people from every part of the world
take up their residence in that city in order
to be relieved of conjngal bonds which have
become irksoule. Wisconsin, however, must
soon become great place Of resort for those
who desire to be divorced, since it appears
that in that State mere incompatibility of
temper is sufficient reason for annulling all
obligations of marriage.

Death OF an Editor.

The Baltimore Sun announces the. death OF
Mr.. William Il. Clark, late news editor OF

ternoop, in the 55th year of his age. We
had 40 intimate acquaintance With Mr.. Clark
from tbs. time be was about fourteen years
Of age, and many an hour have we together
'sset tpys in the old Maryland Republican
Office, owned by Jeremiah Hughes, to whom
we were apprentioed. After reaching his
majority Mr.. Clark remained in Annapolis
but short time, and then went to Baltimore
and accepted the position of news editor on
the Clipper, then Wing journal, where be
remained for several years, and in 1861 took
the same position on the Sun, which be held
up to the time Of bis death. All who knew
him will bear willing testimony to his honor
able and modest department. He was en-
phatically an honest man, and in all the rela-
tons of life gave unmistakable evidence of
that high moral principle which was ever bis
guiding star 10 the stern realities and exciting
struggles of an active, and, we doubt not, a

The foreign dispatches give full and inter-
esting details of the entry of the Government
army into Paris, which was begun on Sunday.
The Communists had given up the defence Of
the ramparts, aud the entire army was put in
motion, and by Monday seventy thousand
men occupied the western and southwestern
portions of the city. On Tuesday the Gov
eminent forces completed the capture of the
city, driving the insurgents from every bar
ricade and building, and finally carrying their
last formidable position on the heights OF
Montmartre. During the fighting Of both
Monday and Tuesday it is stated the loyal
army gave no quarter, and many Communist
leaders who were captured were summarily
shot. The slaughter of the Communists is
described as having been frightful, while the
Versaillist losses are said to have been COM
paratively slight.

are myths, there is no certainty that ere long
some irreverent ehemy of the past may not
propose to prove that there was no such per-
son AS George Washington. The old Revo-
lutionory flags in the Museum were saved,
however-the flag of Washington's body
guard, the flag Of Paul Jones and that of a

announcement in stating that the Pennsylva-
pia Central Railroad Company has concluded
contract for the. purchase Of a large part of
the States interest in the Richmond and Dam
vile Railroad. If the Tines information is
correct it may be confidently inferred that the
Pennsylvania company will establish COM
plete rail line from Washington to Atlanta,
Georgia. The construction of the airline from
Charlotte, N. c., to Atlanta is in progress
partly through the means of this company.
That link will shorten the distance between
Washington and Atlanta hundred and fifty

Sightseeing, and slight Mistake.


The Senior editor of the Virginia Free
Press relates rather amusing incident which
took place at Harper's Ferry on the occasion
of the recent visit Of the "Joint High Com
mission" to that place. Knowing, as we do,
that friend GaIlaher-possessing a soul full of
humor-has alquick perception of the ludi-
crous, we can readily imagine the expression
of his countens nce at the 'little occurrence
Of which be speaks below. He says:
"Having some little curiosity to behold the
titled dignitaries of foreign land, we availed
ourselves of our unwonted proximity to no.
bility, harvested up on Monday morning
bright and eahy, and proceeded toward the
honored spot-not feeling quite sure that their
abolition predictions would prove strong e.
nough to induce them to prolong their jour-
ney and visit the Mecca of yankeedom-the
hallowed bayfield, where old John Brown was
hung-where bis soul commenced that inter-
minable march But the Commission were
bent on sightseeing as ourselves, and there
fore confined their excursion to the romantic
heights on Potomac and Shenandoah, while
we stared through our 'long-rangers' at Earls
and Lords and Knights, and tried to make
out the difference between them and common
Misters and Saulres and Doctors-wherein
we were sgnally unsuccessful.
zone little occurrence of the day furnished
all parties considerable amusement, and de-
serves to be recorded for the benefit OF our
readers. Quite number of our citizens,
male and female, had repaired to the Ferry
influenced, We presume, by curiosity similar
to our own, among whom one of our county
men, noted for grey hairs and venerable as
pect as we'll as great fuency of speech, .6gur-
ed prominently. In the course Of the day he
got into conversation with one of the party to
whom he remarked in oratorical tones: 4 am
happyto see you, gentlemen Of England.
As an American citizen | came to pay my
respects to you, but l want nothing to do
with those Did yankees with whom you
are associatedpa The gentleman he was adj
dressing and those within hearing keenly en-
joyed the joke, which became apparent to our
friend when he discovered, soon after, that be
had been talking to Gen. Schenck-hero Of
Vienna late M c. and member of the
High Commission and Minister Plenipoten-
tiary and Envoy Extraordinary &c. No
body appreciated the incident more than the
gentleman from Ohio"
