There can no longer be any doubt (says the
Baltimore GGsedds) that the International So.
sasty b sast political organization, and that
it, rsmidcatious extend not only throughout
al the countries Of Europe, but that it has
ono OF more branches 10 this country. 1t in
cludes within ito ranks all classes Of political
asitators, and has, for it, ultimate purpose,
the reinforcement of kings, and the establish
ment of what It is pleased to call ian Univer-
sal Republic" Underlying, however, this
simple but momentous programme, are theo-
ries which. il carried out in practice, would
produce the widest anarchy. These theories,
according to Dr.. Robinet, in his recent letter
to Professor Soeley, Of London. strike directly
at the root of existing institutions. They
advocate the abolition of class distinctions
declare, war against property; denounce all
forms Of religious devotion as superstitious
and scoff at the sanctity Of the
tie.g While professedly preaching
peace and. universal brotherhood, the MEM
bers OF the International Society are bending
I'll their energies to promote personal antag-
onism and internecine strife. They covet the
rich mans wealth; they derids the good man s
honesty, and where they dare not resort to
open force. they counsel the use OF the dagger
and the torch.

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 a small compass. Those facts refe, to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-what 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 SUBJ
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 invigorates 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 efecting 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 puriies all the fluids of the
body, including the blood, and the gentle slim
illus which it imparts to the nervous system is
not succeeded by the slightest reaction. This
is chapter of facts which readers, for their
own sakes, should mark and remember.

The Wheat Crop.

The June returns of the Statistical Division
Of the Department of Agriculture indicate a
small increase in the acreage of the wheat
crop, amounting to about four per cent, OF
nearly three-fourtbs of million acres Near
ly all of this increase is west of the Mississp-
pi. The States indicating an enlargement oil
area in this crop are as follows: New York
per cent. increase; New Jersey, 2; Ohio, 6;
Michigan, 4; Wisconsin, 4; Minnesota, 10;
Iowa, Is; Kansas, 80; Nebraska, Is; Oregon,
Is. A small decrease appears in the New
England States, and in Pennsylvania reduc-
ton of per cent, Maryland 8, Kentucky 2,
Indiana 2. Mississippi 2, and South Carolina
Is. The condition Of the crop in Massachu-
sets is placed at IA per cent. below an aver
age; Connecticut 6, New York 2, Virginia 8,
North Carolina 10, South Carolina q. Georgia
25, Alabama %, Mississippi 4, Texas IA, Ar
kansas Is, Tennessee 26, Kentucky 20, Indi-
ana 8, California Al. The States reporting
superior conditions are: Delaware 2, West
Virginia 4, Ohio 7, Michigan 6, Wisconsin 6,
Minnesota 2, Illinois 8, Iowa 8, Missouri and
Kansas 9, Nebraska 6, Oregon 4. With the
exception Of. California no principal wheat
growing State indicates poor yield Of wheat
and most of them give promise OF a product
sufficient to make good the loss upon the Pa
Lciic coast and the trifling reduction elsewhere.
If no disasters are encountered hereafter the
crop should fully equal that Of last year.

An Original Novelette,.

Written by Mrs. LLOYD West HEREFORD, Of
rrrnCe george county N c0rnr1cnrrdiz 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 authoress, we hope
a large number will be disposed of. We are
sure the reading public will be pleased with
this original production of its talented CORES
ponde1t. The Novelette, is entitled "WHY Nor:
a Tale of Southern Life During the War"
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 of Judge PLow-
DEN, Southern Rights man, whose beautiful
dwelling Acton Manor, was burned by the SOL
diers while he was lying dangerously ill, and
whose death ensued in consequence. Among
the minor personages of the story Judge PLow-
DENIS body servant, HARRISON, and JUNE BUG
