VINO does not remember the time when spring
pureation was considered indis pensable to summer
health No matter for wry faces the inevitable salts
and SIENNA, rhubarb, or calomel and jalap must be
administered. These "spring medicines" the young
sters were told, were to keep them hale and hearty
during the summer. We all know now that this
was faacY: that new vigoi, not depletion is what
~ required at the commencement of the simmer

OF oppressive summer weather, a course of Hostel

nous vegetable preparation has thee prominent
properties: 1t renovates, purfes, and regulates all

lively OF pure vegetable productions viz: the essen.
tial principle OF Monongahela Rye, and the most
efheacious tonic and Alternative roots, barks, and

absolutely safe medicine, and no tincture of the

On the general issue of telling the truth

the Argus itself is our best witness, now that

OF Republican measures is for the best. 1t is

NOT long since the PRESS proposed plan
10 reduce the burden of the State tax by
having the State issue commissions for JUS
tees OF the Peace to all who may crave that
honor. 1t might have been suggested in that
connection that the legislative wisdom next
year devise Some plan to carry this into effect
and supply such terrofs in the statute as would
deter any man from putting the title Esquire
TO his or any other mans name who had not
paid the Stale the price of the honor and in
in its elaborate commission had his recent
therefor and clear title to his vested rights.
Always eager to reduce the taxation of the
people and to secure to persons all their vest
ed rights and purchased titles, We suggest
that the next Legislature create full set of
titles, civil and military, 10 which there should
DE affixed price corresponding to the honor
conferred. Every chairman of convention
must be announced as an Honorable. As
this title in the past presupposes that the
gentleman has been State Senator, Con-
gresham, Councillor, or Judge, such an an
nouncement places a modest man in a disa-
greeable position, particularly our Democratic
friends, who have not been in the way of OBJ
tanning these titles through the stubbornness
oil the people. Our Democratic friends, too.
nave pleasant way of bestowing upon their
myriad candidates for Governor that title.
Moreover there is large crowd of gentlemen
who are particularly anxious to prefix a mill
tary title to their names instead OF plain Mr..
NOW Tor the double purpose of creating a
valuable source of revenue TO the State as well
as giving ambitious and worthy gentlemen
the titles that the stubbornness of the people
and lack of wars alarm fail to provide.
we suggest that the State provide commits
SONS for all these titles and offer them for
sale. For instance, set the price of an
Honorable" at 500; that of Brevet-G Govern
or at $500; that of Major at SIS; Colonel
SI2o; General $3.50. The same act that Gle
ates these titles should provide the most effect
ual means to punish any infringement of the
law, placing the fines in every case, as high as
the cost OF the brevet or honorary rank.
Inc amount of money that could be de-
rived from this source both as the price Of
commissions and fines, would be very large
SO large, that if devoted to the school fund.
VIII entirely preclude the necessity of Superin-
tendent Johnsons outrageous proposition for
a mill tax.
TINS scheme is entirely practical; and we
expect to see it adopted in Maine when Hor-
ace binney Sargent's project to compel every
wealthy man in Massachusetts, to vote at ey-
cry election acoomplishes its purpose by legal
enactment.

A Bitter Old EeIIaw.

That very pretty, self-possessed, quick-eyed
little "Percie" of the Democratic State Con-
vention, while giving pen pictures of our dis
tinguished Democrats, has stirred up one old
I Hunker from head to foot. He sends ms the
following extract of Percies pen picture of
Mr. Kimball, and follows it with the angry
burst of feeling that follows: T
"But from memory let me here give you
brief pen picture of this able aud distinguished
man. He is tall, broad shouldered, full -chest-
full pointed beard, abundant black hair, pleas
ant but decided features, and kindly but keenly
penetrating eye. In manners he mingles the
easy address of the gentleman of leisure and
culture with the frank, unreserved freedom of
the laborer: 10 sag that he is the most popular
man an Maine is only to do him justice, and he
has acquired this distinction by life replete
with acts of honesty, courtesy, generosity and
deepest sympathy No one goes from him un-
aided or unencouraged. His moral character
is without stain or bemish. In making a

Political Notes.
Judge Craddock, Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Executive Committee, denounc,
ed the new departure as "a mvoement of poll
cy in sacrifice of principle" "If," he said, "we
accept the amendments, we must acceps them
as consequences of Radical rule, and it is idle
to berate the Ku-Klux and Civil Rights bills
or declare them Legitimate, while we recog
nize as legitimate the amendments on which
they are based. The stream must be PARTED
at its source, and not at its mouth. The Thir
tenth Amendment alone is the accepted log
| &c of the sword and the war, nothing else.
Alas, for the harmonious (?) Democracy!
1t is not with very good grace or hearty en-
thusiasm that the Augusta, (Ga.,) Constitu
tionalist follows Northern Democratic lead
ers. 1t says that not for single one OF tn
possible candidates for the Democratic Presi
dental nomination is there any real heart
felt affection in the South; that the only tire
brave, fearless men in the North-peac
Democrats-whose record has endeared then
to the Southern heart, and for whom SOM
enthusiasm might have been enkindled, ar
dead. These three are Elk President Pierce
Seymour of Connecticut, and Vallandighal
