SPECIAL NOTICES.

Medical Mistakes.-It took the faculty
about a thousand years to discover that the
best way to cure disease was not to render the
patient too weak to contend with it. Within
the last twenty years. however, the whole sys-
tenn of medical practice has been changed for
the better. in diseases or complaints caused
by excessive heat, for instance. the doctors no
longer recommend the reduction of the in
valid's strength by prostrating medicines.
The vast success which has attended the use
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a remedy
for debility, has given even the most pre-
JUDGED members of the old school an insight
into the only true and rational theory of cure.
Cantharides, calomel. and overpow eringdoses
Of opium. are now among the obsolete nos
trums Of another age. The lancet, once as
much the legitimate weapon of the physician
as the sword is Of the soldier. is seldom drawn
from its case. The principle of life is no lon
ger drained from the veins by the quart. and
water Cruel for the strengthless invalid has
ceased to be considered an appropriate diet.
Vigori is the motto Of the rational members of
the profession. and they understand, at last,
the value Of sterling vegetable tonic. So.
also, with the people at large; and without
consulting medical men at all. they have
adopted the Bitters as a household remedy,
thereby economising both cash and health.
Note the fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is sold in bottles only, never in bulk, and
that the nbortions springing NJ in various
parts of the country, and sometimes offered
as a substitute for the great national specific,
are all utterly worthless.

The two homicides that occurred yes
terday in this city viii induce emigrants
to flock here. OF course, there is no
doubt of it. OF course our business
men, of every class, will be held respon-
sible. People at distance will say
Memphis is so easy place to live IN.
You can pop fellow over whenever
YOU wish to. Feuds between individ-
uals can there be settled in deh-
ance Of the law A very nice place
to 90 to, indeed. But what of the
character of the people we suppose to
talk thus? For an answer, revert to the
local columns of our city papers for the
past twelve months. The business COM
munity is as peaceful as Quaker meet
ing. Merchants, mechanics, artisans,
doctors, lawyers, bankers, do not kill
each other. The siaughterers, with
an exceptional case now and then, be-
long to class of their own, and very
rarely invade any other. Ihey nave
their quarrels, resulting from their pecu-
liar manner of life They are found as
a distinct class in every city in the
world. The crimes they commit are
among themselves and beyond exciting
sensations, and running the people to
costs in trying them, do not interfere
with society. No man of sense should
be frightened away from Memphis by re-
ports of crime A man in business
never comes in contact with the crimi-
nal class. And yet the city must have
a bad name, and while it frightens the
orderly and industrious away, attracts
the disorderly. Memphis as Memphis
has no more to do with the commission
Of crime within its limits than London |
has.

Stock Jobbing Hoax seizure of
SmuggIed DiamOnds-c hOiera -
Sfenm.Tug Explosion.


New YORK, August l9.-The reported
loss Of the Pacific steamship Henry
Chancey has proved to be a cruel stock
iobbing hoax. The Company, through
its Secretary Mr.. Johnson), offers $4,000
for the discovery and evidence leading
to the detection of the person who forged
and published the account of the burn
inc of the steamer. The announcement
of the loss of the steamer yesterday IN
Wall street created the greatest excite
ment among dealers in Pacific Mail
stock. Many believed the story, but a
few did not. Pacific Mail opened at
49sc, and declined to 493c. When the
report was circulated reaction set in,
and the stock rallied TO 5l4c. The
origin Of the hoax was attributed to a
combination of spectators who pos
sessed large amount of the stock, and
were DESTROYS of selling both the stock
and the public.
1t was reported late yesterday after
noon that large seizure of diamonds,
rubies and other precious stones had
been made under the supervision of the
custom-house authorities on suspicion
of having been struggled. The gems
were found concealed on the persons of
three French Jews, who came as passen-
gers by the steamer Italy. They ar
rived here on the 10th inst. from Liver
pool. The value Of the contraband pro
perty captured is said to be $4,000.
Warrants were issued yesterday by the
U. S. Commissioner for the arrest of the
alleged smugglers.

oUEEN VICTORIA.

The severe illness Of Queen Victoria
has suggested certain facts of history.
She has. as contemporary observes, now
been On the British throne since 1887,
when she succeeded 10 the inheritance
Of her uncle, William ". She was then
a girl Of eighteen, being born in 1919
A: her birth there did not appear the
slightest probability that she would ever
sway the seepter. Her grandfather,
George III, was then Kina After him
came his son George, the Prince Of
Wales. Should the latter die without
issue, the crown would deyolye on his
brother, the Duke of York. In case he
had no children the throne would de
volve on the Duke Of Clarence, who was
the third son. In the improbable event
uality Of his having no children, the
father Of Victoria, the Duke Of Kent, the
fourth son, would be in the line Of sncees-
sion. Who could have supposed, under
this state Of things, that Victoria could
ever become heir to the CROWN But the
death Of her grandfather, her father and
her three uncles, without children, made
her the next heir in succession. She
has had a long and prosperous reign
one Of the longest in the British annals.
Being still woman Of but ffty-two, hale
aud hearty, she has bid fair 70 reign as
long as her grandfather, George III, who
was King from 1860 to 1920, period Of
sixty years. During her reign she has
generally been governed by her Minis
ter, and has been little more than State
puppet or fgure-head. Only occasion
ally has she shown the obstinSey and
selfwill Of her family, and personally
interfered in the affairs Of the Govern
ment. The most important instance
Of this was when she insisted On
Lord Palmerston modifying and
softening the peremptory dispatch
which, a. the head Of Her Majesty 8
Government he had prepared to be sent
10 the United States, demanding in the
most imperative language the rslsase Of
Mason and Slidell, the Southern Con-.
missioners, who had been taken of the
steamer Trent by an American man-of
war. The dispatch Of Palmerston wa
sach measure that if Il had been sen
70 the Lincoln Administration, il woIll
have been followed BY war The Queer
knew this, and, instigated by her hus
band, Prince Albert, compelled her Min
lister to draw up the demand in NOR,
courteous language which would pro
duce no irritation at Washington. I,
her, therefore is principally to be as
eribed the failure Of the South; for, i
England had interfered against th,
North, its prospects would have beer
homeless.

dispense With the services of first dep

have the labor Of that position per
formed by some one, and in case Of the
temporary absence Of the Commissioned,
the first deputy is the only officer desig-

is good deal Of competition for the

NORTH CAROLINA.

Some of the Republican papers are
talking about their victory in North Car
DINA, in defeating the bill for Consti
tutional Convention, and are claiminl
the old North State as certain for GRAM
in the Presidential canvass. What de
feated the convention project is thus
stated by the Wilmington IN. CO. Jour
nal:
"The convention has been defeated
by Conservatives and Democrats who
we're Influenced in their opposition to
the measure either from dread of Fed
eral Intervention, as foreshadowed by
Attorney General Alderman, or through
a fear Of losing their homesteads. Thou
sands Of meH throughout North Caro-

never have and never will give their sup

1t adds that North Carolina is as GER
tain to elect Conservative Governor

cratic Presidential candidate next year
as that those elections will be held.
