The efficacy of Hostetter's Celebrated
Stomach Bitters as a specific for recruiting
the enfeebled body and cheering the des-
ponding mind, has passec into proverb.-
In the United States, where this marvellous
tonic has borne down all opposition, and
eclipsed all rivalry, the demand for it has
annually increased in a heavier and heavier
ratio for years, until, at last, the regular
sales of this preparation exceed those of all
other stomachics combined. Eminent mem
bers of the medical profession and hospital
surgeons without number, have candidly
admitted that the pharmacopoeia of the ia
Guilty contains no prescription that produces
such beneficial effects in dyspepsia, general
debility and nervous diseases, as Hostetter's
Bitters. To use the language of venerable
physician OF New York, 1.-THE Bitters are
the purest stimulant and the safest tonic we
have" But the uses of the great vegetable
antidote are much more comprehensive than
ry antidote to epidemic diseases genial slim
ulant, promoter of constitutional vigor,
an appetizer, a stOmaehic, and remedy for
nervous debility, no medicinal preparation
has ever attained the reputation of Hostel
ter's Bitters. 1t is the household tonic of
the American people, and in all human
probability will be SO for centuries to come.
The magnates of science recognize its mer-
its; and that it is emphatically the medicine
of the masses, is proven by its vast and ever
increasing sales.

The Latest In fanny.

In another place the readers of the Her
aid will find the latest infamy emanating
from the Mississippi Legislature. 1t is in
the shape of what is trnthfuliy called "ku-
klux bill" and has just passed the senate.
If the House passes this bill-if that body of
Dick Turpins." concurs with the Jack
Shepherds in the senate, in passing this bill
into q law, il will produce an ABUNDANT crop
of MISUNDERSTANDING Sosthout masks! Ii the
carpet-bag scoundreIs, white and bla ck. who
are now engaged in pfundering the people
Of Mississippi, imagine, that there is no linn
iL to the forbearance of our citizens, that they
have an exhaustless stock OF patience, we
beg them TO dismiss that idea. We tell them
that our people never will submit TO this last
outrage! We tell them that they will neUer
consent TO see the constitution, aud all forms
of law stricken down, and the courts of the
country converted into the most terrible en-
gines of oppression ana tyranny They
will not allOlo their feliow-citizens TO be
dragged to distant counties, and there tried
before jury of strangers, and probably
enemies, for crimes, real or imaginary, al
lodged to have been committed in the coun-
ty OF their residence. The people do not
intend that any man shall WELD unrestraiuei
power in Mississippi, and they do not intend
that the Governor of the State shall be, at
once, judge, jury, and execntioner! The
whole bill is vast, mOnstrOus, unheard of
iniquity, collosal crime, which had its birth
in the brain of a devil, and was voted for
and supported by fiends and towards whose
malignity would shame the prince of evil.

Time Is MONEY.

This old-timed axiom is aptly illustrated
in the use of DooLEY's YEAST POWDER. II
is well known that the common process OF
raising dough is a slow one. and often at
tended with unfavorable results from the
use Of poo7 bakers yeast, and improper
heat. With DOoLEY's YEAST POWDER the
best of rolls, biscuits, corn-cAkes, ETC.. can
be made ia the short space of ten minutes,
and uniform success will certainly attend its
use. This is owing to its purity, strength,
and the care with which it Is manufactured.

An exchange paper, referring to the
duration of life under certain circum-
stances, says: "Some very curious fact.
have recently been announced in regard
to discoverable signs of long life. The
facts have resulted from scientific inves-
tigation set ON foot by a life insurance
Office. The most interesting feature in a
learned series to essays ON the physical
signs of longevity In man, is the an
nouncement that short persons live longer
than tall ones and women on an average,
all other things being equal, live longer
than men. Married persons of both sexes
have a longer expectation of life than the
unmarried; and unmarried women live
longer, on an average, than bachelors, yet
both fall short of the amount of life they
each might reasonably hope for in matri-
monial relations. Longevity is trans
mitted in some families. Physiology has
not been able to explain the conditions
on which it depends; but medical writ
tings and vital statistics establish the fact
beyond contradiction, that length of
days is an actual inheritance.
