WHOSE Boy Is THAT --He may
be seen any day, in almost any part
of the town--he never makes room
for you on the sidewalk, looks ut

and sometimes does serious inju-

lounges at the street corners, and

other sort of q scrare-- he crowds
in the Post Office in the evening,

Exercise.

Exercise can kill as we'll as cure.
To be taken advantageously, it
should be done with judgment.
Someties particular part Of the
body needs exercise, but the whole
body is too weak to give it; in
such case, only the part needing it
should have it. But there is one

persons have hurried themselves
into the grave by endeavoring "to
keep up" when they ought to be

too. for so long a time that, when
, they do take TO their beds, their
strength is so completely exhausted
that the system has no power to
rise, and they fall into a typhoid
condition, and all is lost. When
anything serious is the matter with
domestic animals, they court quiet
ude and perfect rest. Sometim es

BiIiousness and Indigestion.

These two complaints are more general
any other. They are closely akin; for bill
iousness always involves an impaired d.
gestion, and indigestion is necessarily an
accompaniment Of disordered or torpid
liver. Happy the man or woman who can
boast Of stomach that has never felt the
horrors OF dyspepsia, and to whom that
great secretive agent, the liver, has never
given pain or trouble. Not one in a thou
sand can lay claim to entire immunity
from irregularity in these organs. How,
then, shall they be regulated? Not by pow
erful cathartics, alternated with ordinary
stimulants, but by a medicinal invigorant,
like Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, which
combine in due proportion the tonic and
the Alternative principle. Wherever there Is
a church, q schoolhouse and general store,
this famous medicine may be procured. No
village merchant finds 1t prudent to be
without 1t, for 1t Is enquired for every day
by every class. The wOrkingman buys 1t
because 1t increases his capacity for toll and
is followed by no reaction. The effect OF the
salubrious roots, herbs, etc., of which II Is
composed, diffused through his system by
the pure stimulant which forms the basis
Of the Bitters, is most healthful and invig-
Grating. The scholar, the merchant, and,
in fact, all men whose minds or bodies, or
both, are in constant exercise, will derive
benefit from its use. To persons Of seden-
tary habits 1t supplies, in some measure,
that activity In the circulation which Is OBJ
tanned by physical exertion, and is the best
known remedy for constipation.
Ask for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
do not be coaxed into purchasing any OF the
limitations and frauds sometimes offered in
its stead.

HOW III WAS DONE.

FORTRESS MONROE, July 2S.-Battery
I. Fourth Artillery, and Battery X,
Stationed Artillery, leave tomorrow
morning for Raleigh. North Carolina,
for temporary use.
New YORK, August 5.-The follow
ing dispatches are received: To the
editor OF the Tribune :-Sir-We have
carried the State against the Convention
by 10000 or 5000 majority. Signed,
Joseph C. Abbott. Wilmington, North
Carolina, August 4.
The Radicals have not much to boast
OF in North Carolina. They have by
intimidation, by threats and by force,
prevented an expression Of popular
will, and will now proceed to the finan-
cial ruin of the State. One Of the pro-
visions of the present Constitution Of
North Carolina, which, as We learn
from the correspondent Of Washing
ton city paper, the Convention was de.
signed to change, fixes definite and
short time in which the State debt
must be paid, Under the peculiar
system of Reconstruction" to which the
State has been subjected, that debt has
grown to enormous proportions, and an
annual tax OF FIVE per cent of the valu-
alton of the entire real and personal
property in the State will be necessary
in order to discharge the debt in the
time fixed by the Constitution. That
is what this Radical victory in North
Carolina means. The people are to be
plundered and a set Of adventures who
have. by fraud or otherwise, obtained
possession Of the bonds Of the State are
to be enriched. For this purpose the
army Of the United States is employed
and the Attorney General threatens the
people with the direst Of congressional
penalties if they dare seek relief. What
blessing q Stree government is!
