midsummer Maladies.

The hot solar rays that ripen the harvests
generate many distressing diseases. If the
liver be at all predisposed TO- irregularitf
this is the season in which bilious attacks
may be anticipated. -Aweak stomach, TOO,
is weakest in the summer months, and the
loss of vitality through the pores by exces-
siye perspiration is so great, that whole
some tonic, combining also the properties
OF difrusive stimulant and gentle exhil-
arant, isiH many cases necessary to health,
and under no circumstances should be dis
pensed with by the sickly and debilitated.
Of all the preparations intended thus to re-
fresh, sustain and fortify the human frame
there Is none that will compare with Hos
letters Celebrated Stomach BiIters. They
have been weighed in the balance Of eXpe-
rience and not found wanting; have been
recommended from the first rs great
medicinal specific, not as a beverage, and
in spite of Interested opposition from ihnu-
merable quarters, stand, after twenty years
trial, at the head OF all proprietary medi-
cines intended for the prevention ana cure
of all ordinary complaints OF the stomach,
the liver, the bowels and the nerves. Ia
the unhealthy districts bordering the great
rivers OF the South and West, HosteTter's
Bitters may be claSsed as he standard one
for every species Of Intermittent and re-
mittent fever. The people who inhabit
those districts place the most implicit con-
fidence in the preparation-a confidence
that is increased every year by the results
OF its operation.
AS bIuters, so-called, Of the most PERM.
cious character, are springing up Ike fungi
on every side, the public Is hereby Tore
warned against the dram-Siiop frauds. ASK
for Hostetter's Bitters, see that tho. label,

Women Voting in North Carolina.

According to the Raleigh (N. c.
Sentinel, woman suffrage was practi,
cally carried out in Johnston county, in
that State, at the last election, and the
people there are warned to beware Of
The same trick again. The Sentinel OF
July 18th says:
major Smith, President of the North
Carolina railroad, told it himself, that
he voted two hundred negro women in
Johnston county by having them dress
ed in mems clothes. His plan was this:
The registers books were kept open all
day; the women in breeches registered
when taken to the polls; the law for
babe any man to challenge, so they
were obliged to vote. At the subse-
queut election no women voted, and the
white folks carried the election by five
hundred and more.

A RIDICULOUS story is going the rounds
of the sensational press to the effect
that Hon. Jefferson Davis ran off with
another mans wife on Tuesday night,
the llth instant, from Memphis, Tenn,
taking the train for Huntsville, Ala.
As there is class of people who are
ready to believe anything that may be
said against the Confederate ex-Presi-
dent, it will not be amiss to state that
he was at Barnum's Hotel, in Balti-
more, on Wednesday, the 18th instant,
which would have allowed him about
twenty-four hours in which to make
trip OF some 900 miles. OF course the
story is pure fabrication, and very
disgraceful one for its author.-Balf-
more SUP Wednesday.
The story is equally disgraceful for
the newspapers that, knowing its ex-
IRENE improbability, copied and repeat
ed it. The InteM;gcncer of this city, to
crafty its morbid appetite for nastiness,
published the story twice with numer-
GUS head lines and devices to attract
attention. Very few Of the other Rad,
ical journals in the country were sold
by the libellous hoax, and some of
these, the Baltimore american for ill.,
stance, have had the manliness to re-
tract the story and express their regret
for its publication.
