Bear In MIND.

When disease has undermined the health, and
the physical system has become Frustrated, a
stimulant that will not only strengthen, but re-
move the cause, should be Immediately resorted
to. Mental distress is also fruitful source of
the breaking down of the constitution, and the
ravages of the enemy to health are truly alarm
ing. For all such maladies Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters have been found unsurpassed. By
acting directly upon the digestive organs, they
remove the heavy disagreeable feeling after eat
ing, so often complained of by persons of a del
icate temperament. As soon as digestion is
restored, the patient finds his strength increas-
ing, and his general health improved.
Thousands of persons certify that it may be
relied on in all cases of weakness or nervous
debility attendant upon sedentary habits. The
generality, of Bitters are so disagreeable to the
taste that they are Objectionable to a weak
stomach This is not the case with Hostetter's
Bitters, which will be found mild and extreme
ly pleasant. Balsamic plants, barks and roots
contribute their restorative juices to render it
soothing and strengthening. It's basis is the
only pure stimulant which has ever been pro-
duced, containing no fusil oil, or any other de-
leterous element The most careful and skill
full chemists have Analysed the Bitters, and pro-
nounce them harmless. This is scientific testi-
mony; bat the testimony of the hundreds of
thousands who have experienced the preventive
and curative effects of the Great Vegetable Tonic
and Alternative of modern times is still more
conclusive In Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia,
Biliousness, NervC us Complaints, Chronic Com
plants and general debility it is as nearly in
fallible as anything in this faible world can be.

cider, beer, and wine, may be recovered back
by the persons paying for them, or by the
wife, husband, children. guardians, parents,
or employers Of such persons. All contracts
and commercial transactions connected with
the sale Of such liquors are declared to be null
and void. Every one who has been injured
in person, property, or otherwise, by any in
toxicated person. or BY reason of the intoxi-
cation of any person, shall have the right to
bring a suit against the person or persons
who have sold or given the Intoxicating liquor
which has caused or contributed to the intox-
ication Of such person or persons. and shall
have the right to recover actual and exem-
plary damages. The owner or lessee of any
building or premises used for the purpose OF
retailing liquor is made severally and jointly
liable with the seller or giver of the liquor.
Any sale of intoxicating liquors by the lessee

BrOwnlOw of Tennessee

The Washington correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer writes:
One of the saddest spectacles presented in
the Senate Chamber 10 these days is the big
cushioned chair which holds the last of the
mortal remains of poor Parson Brownlow, of
Tennessee. 1t sits just to the left of the Pre-
sident's rostrum, on the skirmsh line. There
they bring every day the withered remnant
of the Apostle of Hate, and over that chair
there seems to hover. at all hours, the black
Apgel OF Death, SaIlow and emaciated, trem-
bling with palsy in every limb, he sits and
watches the proceedings around him with
what seems fearful interest, and only the
little light which burns dmily in his once vi
cious eye is left to tell you of the fierce spirit
which in times past, inhabited that never very
prepossessing frame. His right arm lies by
his side, and the thumb Of it witches and vi
brates with the regularity of heartbeat.
They set glass of water upon his desk,
but he never mostens his lips. Papers lay
before him, but their neat order is never dis
turbed. There is no more expression upon
his Swallowed, punched and leathery face than
you would expect to find upon the index of
the mummy 10 the British Museum. One
can look upon the still vigorous yet stricken
Morton, and feel that he bears the retributive
imprint of vice, but one cannot contemplate
poor Brownlow without an expression of gen.
erous sympathy. He seems to be waiting his
summons. There may be much of the old
vitality in him yet, and it may be many days
before they carry him into the Chamber for
the last time. 1t seemed as though at times
to-day, his old viperous nature returned to
him and he yearnsd to minge in the heated
debate. But the present, with its turmoiis,
aud the future, with its hopes, are but msts
to him. He can only look back over his
pathway strewn with wrecks and lined with
the rank weeds of bitter hate aud partizan
selfiShness

Am Anomaly.

We we're shown, on Thursday, duck egg
which was nearly black, and the exhibitor iu-
formed us that the duck, which is owned by
Mr.. Henry Carter, near Willow Grove, in the
lower part Of this State, never lays any other
kind. The eggs are little smaller than the
ordinary duck egg, and are perfectly good
We have never seen or heard of=anything of
the kind before, and cannot account for its
singular color. The time Of the ducks be-
ginning to lay dates back to about the time
of the ratification Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment, and the duck probably thinking, per-
haps, that black was better and more popu-
lar than white, as has been set forth in the
acts Of Congress for several years past. has
concluded to lay black eggs. Ifthe eggs will
produce black ducks, it would be appropriate
to call them Fifteenth Amendment species

A Social Perturbation I'm Washington.

Society circles are much excited in conse-
quence Of the refusal Of the Catholic clergy to
perform the marriage ceremony next week at
the wedding of Mr.. Rangabe, Greek Charge
d'Affairs, and Miss Gerolt, the daughter Of
Baron Gerolt. The reason of this refusal is
that the parties intend to have the marriage
also solemnized in; New York according to the
rites of the Greek Church. the young lady be-
ing Roman Catholic while Mr.. Rangabe is
member of the Greek Church. The Catho-
lie Priests in Washington positively refuse to
perform the ceremony, unless pledge is given
that no other ceremony will be performed
In consequence of this course By the Catholic
clergy no ceremony will be had 10 Washing
ton, and the contracting parties will proceed
to New York on Monday, and there be mar
ried. This is great disappointment to the
Washington friends, both of the bride and the
groom, as they had looked forward to the APP
preaching nnptials With pleasurable anticipa-
tons. SIG

Efg The most conclusive arguments, and
the most telling appeals, against.the Ku-Klux
bill, have come from some Of the best and
ablest of the journals which have been 10 ia
vor of the Republican party. They denounce
it as strongly as do our Southern papers
The New York Post says that by this bill,
"every; constitutional restriction upon the
power of the Executive is withdrawn, and in
stead of the Constitution and its checks, the
nation is left to the voluntary forbearance and
sound judgment Of the President. as the sole
safeguard for its liberties. 1t is, indeed, a
great stride in the progress towards consoli-
dation, centralizatioh and imperialism"
