A Pitiful Condition.

1t is sad thing to pass through life only half alive
Yet there are thousands whose habitual condition is
one OF languor and debility. They complain of no
specific diease; they suffer no positive pain; but
they have no relish TOR anything which affords mem
tai or sensuous pleasure to their more robust and
energetic tellow-beings
In nine out ten this state of lasstnde and
torpor arises from morbid stomach. Indigestion
the waste of nature is not supplied by due and reg
ular assimilation OF the food every organ is starved,
every funC ton is interrupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances of depression? The system
needs rousng and streng hening; not merely Tor an
h0ur or two, to sink atterward into more pitiable
condition than ever, las it assuredly would do if an
ordinary alcoholic stimulant were resorted TO- but
radically and permanently,
How is this desirable object to be accom- pshed?
The answer to this question, founded on the unvary-
ing experience of quarter of century, is easily
given, Intuse vgOr into the digestive organs by
acourse Of HostetteT's Stomach Btters. Do not
waste time in administering temporary remedies,
but wake the system up by reeuperating the ioun-
tain-head OF physical strength and energy, the great
organ upon which all the other organs depend for
their nurture and support
By the time that a dozen doses of tbe great veoe-
,abe tonic and nvigorant have been taken the fee

The dispatch which states that the Tories
OF England are organizing to oppose the
treaty of Washington is not calculated TO oc
casion any surprise. The Tories of this
country being also out of office and being
equally ready to sacrifice the peace of their
country and the interests of humanity for the
sake of getting in, likewise oppose it. But
the Tories being minority in both countries
it is probable that the treaty will be ratified
in Spite of them

The New Hampshire Democrats did not
propose to be cheated by their own men in
the organization of the House of Representa-
tives, so they numbered off each democrat
and labor reformer in caucus, and gave him
vote bearing the same number, so that if that
number failed to appear in the ballot box the
culprit would convict himself. 1t was never
tried before, but worked like a charm. But
it is doubted if this method of enforcing party
discipline will commend itself to the people
and carries very doubtful compliment to the
integrity Of the Democratic leaders of the
Granite State.

The Democracy Of Ohio have established
new criterion OF ability and general merit.
They declare that the gallant soldier whom
they have selected as their .siandard-bearer
for The coming campaign rs one Of the hah'
soonest men In the country! This is prooa-
bly, an advantage, but We doubt il Gen. Nc
Casks friends are warranted in attaching
quite 80 much importance TO 1t as they dc.
II plysioenomieal Tests are TO be applied, il
would perhaps be safer for them to adopt
that used by Napoleon in selecting his Mar
sbals and base their choice of candidates on
the result OF a competitive admeasurement of
the length Of their noses.
aBut this is no new experiment of The Dem
ocracy. When Socrates and Alcibiades are
Competitors In their conventions the States
mans personal advantages nearly always
count for more than the philosophers genius.
but when the matter comes before the
people respect Is had TO other considerations.
This has been repeatedly illustrated in gener-
al elections within the last twenty years.
This generation has seen the courtly, well-fa-
by the coarse-leatured but great souled, pro-
letarian Lincoln; Mcclellan, whose mediocre
ty OF ability was relieved by the fascination OF
his person and manner, defeated by the
SINE embodiment of inspired hemeliness, and
list, the elegant patrcian, Horatio Seymour
distanced in the race by IAN unattractive man
with an expressOnless face and awkward ad.
dress. Pierce and Buchanan were men o.
polished exterior, and traditions of their ele
gance are yet lovingly cherished by those who
look with disdain on the democratic plain.
ness of the Republican line of Presidents
But this constitutes 10 exception TO the gen.
eral rule, as anyone may see who looks at the
leonine front of Gen. Scott aud the fine, 10
mantle face of Fremont--two men of as strik
ing appearance in their different ways as any
in the country.
And the same rule has found some notable
examples in our local politics. Where are
finer looking men TO be found than Judge
Howard, Bion Bradbury, L. X. Smart, Z. +,
Iillsbury and Gen. Roberts? One of these
gentlemen did not hesitate TO urge bis claim:
TO the chief magistracy of our State on thii
ground, and he was thought to commend
himself greatly TO his fair hearers by tn,
charms Of his person and the correctness o
his style. 1t is not necessary 10 say that thi:
gentleman was not Howard or Bradbury Oh
Pillsbury or Roberts, all of whom, we have
no doubt, are far above any petty vanity of this
kind.
This new principle of selection will greatly
simplify the problem of finding a suitable
Democratic candidate to succeed Gen. Rob
erts. Let committee OF ladies be appointed
and let the applicants for the vacant position
be summoned before it. Such a committee
will have no difficulty in recognizing az
Adonis, if one should appear in the crowd. L
is evident that the "curled darlings" will hav,
much better prospect than the Democrats
sages under the Ohio rule.
