A Chapter OF Facts.

Space is valuable in newspaper, and it is
therefore proposed in this advertisement to con-
dense variety of facts, important to the pub
lie, into small compass. Those facts refe, to
Hostettcr,s Stomach Bitters-wkat THAT cele-
brated medicine is, and what it will do. In
the first place, then, the article is stimulant,
tonic and Alternative, consisting of combina-
ton of an absolutely pure spirituous agent with
the most valuable medicinal vegetable subs
stances that Botanic research has placed at the
disposal of the chemist and the physician
These ingredients are compounded with great
care, and in such proportions as to produce a
preparation which inugorates without exciting
the general system, and tones, regulates and
controls the stomach, the bowels, the liver and
the minor secretive organs.
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered from what it has done. The case OF
dyspepsia, or any other form of indigestion, in
which it has been persistently administered
without effecting radical cure, is yet to be
heard from, and the same may be said of bill.
Gus disorders, intermittent fever, nervous affec-
tons, general debility, constipation, sick head
ache, mental disabilities to which the feeble are
so subject. 1t purifes all the fluids; of the
body, including the blood, and the gentle slim
illus which it imparts to the nervous system il
not succeeded by the slightest reaction. This
is chapter of facts which readers, for theil
own sakes, should mark and remember.

A Welcome to A. HI. Stephens.

For Mr.. Stephens culture, ability and in
tentions we have very great respect. But his
point of observation is bad. He dwels in a
Georgia village. He is surrounded by old as
sociations, old habits, old notions, old books,
and is himself an old man, much out of the
current of that fresh and generous vitality
which is beginning to pour its rich blood into
the politics of the period. Mr.. Stephens sa-
lutation reads neatly and dreariIy: 1t carries
US back ward, not forward; and forward" is
the word for the young South, which wants
to get away from the war, which wants to get
away sfrom passion, from violence, from fail
ure, which wants to unite itself to new life,
which wants to cut itself loose from Tester
ing corpse. Mayhap Mr.. Stephens does not
thoroughly comprehend this. His career be-
longs to the past. He stands already knee
deep in the wavering grass that grows above
the graves of dead and dying political issues.
He is surrounded by most horrible condition
Of social, political and domestic corruption
wrought by Radical maladministration. His
views are necessarily Jaundiced by these un-
happy circumstances, and we shall not be
surprised if he should write much that would
be regarded as unwise IN a man oil less natu-
raj wisdom. But whatever he writes shall
receive from US the most respectful considera
tion--we were about to say the most, affec-
Tomato consideration-fo there is no man in
the South whom we regard as Mr.. Stephens
equal in point Of integrity of thought, ampli-
tude of scholarship and breadth Of under
standing Courier journal.

An Original Novelette,.

Written by Mrs. LLOYD WEsr HEEEFoRD, Of
Prince Georges county, will be commenced in
the Marlborough Gazette in few weeks-about
first of July. "A large number Of extra copies
of the paper will be printed, and it will be fur
nished THREE MONTHS FOR Is CENTS. The story
will occupy its pages about that length of time.
1t is beautifully written, and its characters
charmingly delineated. As the largest portion
of the profits from the sales Of extra papers will
inure to the benefit of the authorizes, we hope
large number will be disposed Of. We. are
sure the reading public will be pleased with
this original production of its talented CORES
pondent. The Novelette, is entitled "WHY Nor;
4 Tale of Southern Life During the Var"
1t commences at the beginning OF the strug-
gle and ends after the surrender. The scenes
and characters are true to life. The hero and
heroine are Colonel EMORY, a Federal cavalry
officer, and ESTER, the daughter ofJudge PLow.
DEN, Southern Rights man, whose beautiful
dwelling, Acton Manor, was burned by the sol
diers while he was lying dangerously i'll, and
whose death ensued in consequence. Among
the minor personages of the story Judge PLow-
DENIS body servant, HARRISON, and JUNE BUG
JOE, little dwarfsh negro boy, are conspicu-

Grant Ignored i'm the Northwest.

The proceedings of the recent Republican
State Conventions of Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Iowa, 10 regard to the denomination Of Gen.
Grant, are significant and instructive. In the
Pennsylvania Convention a resolution was
put through in favor of his denomination by
discreditable trick of the Federal 'lficehol'
ers. The question had been considered in IT,
Committee on Resolutions, and it was arrang-
ed that the subject should be quietly dropped
But at the close Of The Convention, after many
delegates had left the hall, resolution re-
commencing Grant for second term was
slipped through amid the noise and confusion
of final adjournment. This shrewd bit oil
legerdemain will not be likely to help either
the State ticket this year, or Grant in the
next National Convention.
In the Ohio Conven ion the same question
was fought out to the bitter end by the adv"-
Gates and the opponents Of Grants renomlna-
ton. The latter prevailed, and the res"lu'
tons reflected the sentiments of the maj 'rity
of the Convention. They approved of certain
specified acts of Grants administration, but
were silent on the subject of presenting him
for second term. They could not avoid the
former without seeming to go back on the
party, while their refusal to give Grant a per
sonal endorsement is one mode of declaring
that majority Of the Republicans of Ohio
are hostile to his denomination. Not less sig
ni6cant were the speeches of Gen. Noyes, the
candidate for Governor, and of Senator Sher-
man, who addressed the Convention at great
length, each of whom wholly ignored the
question of denomination. This greatly en-
hances the chances Of Noyes' success in Octo-
Der.
OF the like tenor were the proceedings Of
the Iowa Convention The resolutions az
proved Of specific acts Of the administration
because this was due to the maintenance OF
party discipline but they were ominously 81
lent on the vital issue of Grants denomination.
Indeed so precisely identical was the course
of the Ohio and Iowa Republicans on this sub
ject, that one can hardly doubt that the lead
ers Of the party in the two States acted &C
cording to prearranged programme.
