Midsummer Maladies.

The hot solar rays that ripen the harvests
generate many distressing diseases. II the
liver be at all predisposed to irregularities,
this is the season in which bilious attacks
may be anticipated. A weak stomach, TOO,
Is weakest in the summer months, and the
loss of vitality through the pores by excess
sive perspiration is so great, that whole
some tonic, combining also the properties
OF difrusive stimulant and gentle exhil-
arant, is in many cases necessary to health,
and under no circumstances should be dis
pensed with by the sickly and debilitated.
OF all the preparations intended thus to re-
fresh, sustain and fortify the human frame
there Is none that will compare with Hos
letters Celebrated Stomach Bitters. They
have been weighed in the balance OF eXpe-
rience and not found wanting; have been
recommended from the first as great
medicinal specific, not as beverage, and
in spite Of interested opposition from innu-
merable quarters stand, after twenty years
trial, at the head Of all proprietary medi-
cines intended for the prevention and cure
Of all ordinary complaints of the stomach,
the liver, the bowels and the nerves. In
the unhealthy districts bordering the great
rivers OF the South and West, Hostetter' S
Bitters may be classed as Ihe standard one
for every species OF intermittent and re-
mittent fever. The people who inhabit
those districts place the most implicit con-
fidence in the preparation-a confidence
that is increased every yer by the results
OF its operation.
AS bltters, so-called, Of the most perni-
cious character, are springing up like fungi
on every side, the public Is hereby fore
warned against the dram-Shop frauds. Ask
for Hostetter's Bitters, see that the label,
ETC., are correct, and remember that the
genuine article Is neversold in bulk, but in
bottles only,

TIE tenure OF Office act is likely to
prove as troublesome to GRANT tor
whose advantage it was originally
passed, as it was to JOHNSON whose
hands it tied. PLIAsANroS wont re-
sign and neither GRANT nor boutwell,
can drive him from his position. Sem
ator SPENCER, of Alabama, Is highly
indignant over the removal Of the Col
lector of the Port of Mobile and the ap-
pointment Of WILLARD WARNER to the
place, and declares that he will offer a
resolution in Congress demanding the
enforcement Of the tenure Of office ac'
in this case and inquiring why the
President should not be impeached for
his failure to obey the law. There are
several other rods Of the same kind in
pickle for His Majesty; and there will
doubtless be much squirming on one
side or the other when Congress Assem-
bles again.

The IntelHgenccr has discovered an
other mares nest and has got a new
scare on. This time, it is the idea that
the Convention will exempt the prop
erty Of railroad companies from taxa
ton. 1t is true that a Radical Legisla-
ture gave to the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company a charter under
which the property Of that company is
professedly exempt from taxation until
their net profits are ten per cent, but
this act is unconstitutional and, we be-
lieve, was so confessed at the time OF its
passage, but a Radical Legislature
never baked at little impeachment like
that. We protest against Judging the
Convention by what the Legislature
has done. The record OF the Democ-
racy upon this subject is better than
that of their political foes. We used
to have great deal Of fine talk from
the Radicals about compelling the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad to pay taxes,
comply with the provisions Of its char
ter, &c, &c; but it all ended in talk,
and the Legislature of last winter was
the first to take decided action to pre-
vent unjust discrimination in the freight
tariff of the railroad company.

They have a curious way Of raising
oil down in the oil regions from wells
that are not sufficiently productive to
pay for the cost Of pumping them.
There are many wells that yield only
two or three barrels per week, and the
labor and fuel expended in drawing this
small quantity Of oil would leave hard
ly any margin for profit. Somebody
hit upon the idea of sinking large
cotton wick to the bottom OF such
wells, and at once set about trying the
experiment, which resulted successfully
and has now been adopted in great
many cases. As the oil gradually ac-
cumulates at the bottom, it will rise in
the wick by capillary attraction, and
may readily be removed by presses or
other contrivances when it reaches the
top above ground.

Surplus Government officials.


The Boston Commercial Bulletin of the
LIST instant says:
Apropos of civil service reform, We
heard story day or two ago illus
trative of the excess of clerks in oul
Departments at Washington, and the
necessity for wedding out" which exists
there. A pet Of one Of the Secretaries
who had been very persistent in his de,
mands for "a desk" at last reaped the
reward of his sycophancy by an ap.
pointment to a clerkship in the Secre
tary's department. That dignitary, in
handing him his commission, directed
him to one Of the chief clerks of sec,
tons, who would provide him with a
desk. So he posted off to this person.
age. THE chief" on learning his er.
rand, was fairly aghast!
MY dear Sir" said he, my section
has twice as many clerks as there is
work for them to do, and half Of them
loaf about here now, munching apples
and reading newspaper advertisements
all day long. l haven't even desk for
you; not even a chair. You see that
desk p pointing to one; jenkins and
Bobbins have to occupy that by turns !;
and when Jenkins is at work Bobhins
has to loaf about in the passage, and
rice versa
The new appointee hurried back TO
the Secretary, who sent him to another
chief, and still another, and yet fourth,
fifth, sixth; their song was still the
same-no room, no work; overcrowded
already; bothered to death what to do
with the superfluous loafers already on
hand. At last this Wandering Jew Of
a Government servant found a chief
who was also friend. This friend at
first couldn't see any prospect for a desk !;
as for work, there wasn't enough Tor a
quarter Of his men.
However, after rummagitg about be
found iIttle-off-room-that is he called
it a room, but it was rather a closet
about six feet by eight. where four
desks were crammed up together, and
three clerks crowded up side by side.
Here. thanks to fortune, there was a
vacant desk. But our wandering friend
in order to reach his "post OF duty, had
to wait for the clerk next the door to
get out into the passage and push his
chair under his desk aud this opera
ton took place every time he went in
