The Body and its Needs.

Considering the extremse sensitivenesS
of the human body, and, that II Is unpro-
tected, except by artificial covering, from
the action of cold, 1t Is not strange that at
this season 1t Is liable to many disorders.
The skin exercises O powerful influence
over the stomach and bowels, and when
its functions are interrupted by sudden
chills that seal the pores and prevent eyap-
grafton from the surface, internal conges-
ton is apt to ensue. The digestive organs
never perform their office properly when
this is the case, and the waste matter Of the
system, which should be discharged in part
through the respiratory glands, having
no other outlet than the bowels and the
kidneys, constipation and a variety of renal
diseases are more or less prevalent. DyS-
pepsia, where IT exists, Is also aggravated
by these causes. The most effective pre-
ventiye OF, and remedy for, disturbances OF
this nature Is Hostetter's Stomach Bltters.
Acting as a stimulant and tonic, IL rouses
the stomach and the intestines, imparting
to those important organs both activity and
regularity. It also operates as a sudorific,
by toning the vessels of the skin and pro
noting the free passage OF exhausted mat
ter through that natural sieve of the sys-
tenn. Being mild dluretiG gives
neys, where there Is q tendency TO dropsy,
and as blood depurent and nervine, has .
highly beneficial effect In rheumatic cases
II combines In happy proportions the tonic,
Alternative, aperient, antiseptic diaphoretic

and has no equal as winter medicine. 80,

The State Capital.

The most important question now
agitating the minds of members of the
Legislature is, how to get to Charles
ton. The beleauguered capital OF
France is scarcely more shut in from
communication with the outside world
than is the ice-locked capital Of West
Virginia. Mails manage to straggle
through, making circuit ola thousand
miles, but travel seems to be almost en-
tirely cut off. Some of the members Of
the Legislature from this portion of the
State intend to 60 by way of Washing
ton City, Charlo ttesville and White
Sulphur Springs, making at last
journey =, Of one hundred
and nine miles by stage over the noun
tains. Others talk about trying to get
across the country from Clarksburg or
Parkersburg. What may be the con-
oition Of the roads ffom those points
we have no .meansof knowing, but tits

We publish this morning the con-
Guiding portion OF Judge THoMPsoNs
argument concerning the invalidity of
the DISTINGUISHING amendment OF 1866,
and the duty Of the Legislature in that
regard. 1t will repay careful perusal
by all who care to inform themselves
on this important subject. We
think the Judge has demonstrate
ed clearly that the so-called
amendment of 1866 has never been and
is not now part Of the Constitution OF
the State, and that the Legislature
may, without any violation OF law,
entirely ignore its provisions and
legislate as though the pretended
amendment had never been dreamed
OF. We have no fear that any act Of
the Legislature will ever be set aside
for non-consormity with the provisions
of that amendment.
