How VIZ Jtsr.p To RE PHYsrcKED.-

How WE USED TO BE RHYsrcKED.-
Who does not remember the time when
spring purgation was considered inaispcnsa-
bic to summer health? No matter for wry
faces. the inevitable salts and senna, rhubarb,
or calomel and jalap, must be administered.
These "spring medicines" the youngsters
were told, were to keep them hale and hearty
during tho. sumner We all know now that
this was falacy that new vigor, not deple
ton, is what is required at the commence
ment of the summer solstice.: AS prepara-
tion for the enervstirg effects of oppressive
summer weather, course Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is highly expeaisft. This
famous vegetable preparation has rhree
prominent properties: Itrcnovates' purfes,
and regulates oil the functions of the body.
1t is composed exclusively Of pure vegetable
productions, viz /: the essential principle of
MonongaLela Rye, and the most efhcacious
tonic AID Alternative roots, barks, and gums
known to medical botanists. Hence, it is
an absolutely safe medicine. and no tine
ti,re Of the Pharmacopeia can compare with
# either in purity, or in the variety ofits OBJ
''iiects, and its comprehensive results. Hap
PLY for mankind. the theory that it was
necessaryto prostrate patient in order to
cure him, is forever exploded, and the true
philosophical doctrine, that vigor rs one
great Antagonist Of disease, has ia ken its
place. Hoststter's Bitters is an invigorant,
and hence It is;the- -rfSffer medicine for tho
feeble at this most trying saason of the
year. !;

May Day.

IM' Edttor:-It was our privilege to be
present as an invited guest, at the picnic
given by tile scholars of the Misses Reynolds
school on the .lst instant, May Day.
The place chosen for the festival, was, in
our judgement, the best in the whole neigh
borhood of our town, teiig mar enough to
be easy of access, and at the same time far
enough to make us iiGel that VIC were leaving
town, and going into the country to spend
day with nature In addition to this 'Mul-
berry," the scene of the party, as is well
known, is locality unsurpassed for beauty
at this S. ason. The oaks are large, old and
venerable, the other trees and shrubbery, be-
ing of swamp growth, arc very green and
vigorous in their new spring dress, and the
whole face of the ground is covered with a
rich carpet of grass and clover. The place
vas thus all that could kc Gesiree, green. cool,
and free from dust. The picnic f's:ty were
conveyed from town to "Mulbcrry," in scre-
raj wagons and other vehicles, which formed
quite long and gay procession, and this
method of travel seemed to be very much
enjoyed by the young folks. As soon as sall
were landed, the younger people formed into
bright and gayly cdaorcd groups under the
trees, and engaged in games and sports,
while the older ONES began to make prepara-
tions to crafty their appettes when they
should become hungry and weary.
AT Midday the coronation of the May
Queen took place. The throne was erected
under the wide-sprcading branches ofa ma
iestic oak tree, and upon it the Queen, Miss
Fricrson, was seated BY her admirlng sub
iects, who proceeded to place upon her head
u crown of pure spring flowers. The sceptre
of authority in the kingdom of flowers was
then pla ed in her hand, and her subjects,
one by one, brought their tribute of flowers
and presented them with appropriate re-
marks, and the ceremony was closed by sing,
ing in cho! US, "Long Live Our Queen.
The table was spread under the trees and
loaded with cake and lemonade, and all were
invited to an agreeable and bountiful lunch,
Which, was soon disposed Of. A few hours If;
terwards shower canre MP ard GEM. Ches'
nut threw open his spacious residence 10 the
party. In his house the table was. spread
for a dinner which wasJnice, and abundant
for all. This, with some dancing, closed the
amusements Of what was to all concerned, a
very pleasant day. :.

SuooNorLY STATED. The New York
Herald does not exaggerate The matter
when it declares that ''such corruption
and anarchy as exist now in the South
are not only injurious to that section,
not only check its progress and material
interests, and, therefore. prove damaging
to the business interests OF the North,
but they are infectious, and must in the
end demoralizo the whole republic. 1t
is, in fact, long step toward centraliza-
ton, despotism and military rule. It is
the way in which all nations have
marched, the liberties and institutions of
which have been subvcrted or over
tuned"

On Tuesday night, young girl, who
was grossly insulted by rufian on
Third avenue New York; car, was pro.
tected and avenged, not by fellow-pas-
senger or by the conductor, but by the
honest, courageous driver. The latter
cav that the sconndrel was annoying the
girl, and that the conductor had not
noticed the affair. He promptly stopped
his car, thrashed the villain, threw him
into the street, and, calling policeman,
gave him into custody.

The Arenir National, Paris journal,
recalls in bit of gossip tho recollection
of the Zouave Jacob, who few years
ago set all Paris agog with his self
claimed supernatural curative powers.
Jacob, it will be remembered, by some
peculiar process Of magnetism, wrought
wonderful cures upon paralytic and bed:
ridden subjects, aud at one time his fame
was co.extensive in France with that OF
Napoleon himself. He dwelt in halo of
success and prospered braveiy. But
times have changed with the Zouave
Jacob, and, although he still practices
his art of laying on Of hands, he does 80
in an obscure and unheroic way, an1
nfter fashion in marked contrast with
that of former days. Probably most per-
sons who have heard or read of him have
imagined that lie died in some German
prison, went down in some useless charge
upon battle field of the late war, or
fell, torch in hand, with the Commune in
Paris. But, no. He still lives, but in
mean. lodgings in the Rue Ramporreau,
where, although daily consulted by
clientele Of sufferers, he ekes out live.
