A Dead Delusion.-The theory that human
beings whose strength has been exhausted by
depicting medicines and water cruel, if not
absolutely a dead delusiOn, is in the agonies
Of dissolution. At length it is understood
that strength cannot be purged into debili-
tated frame, though life may easily be purged
out of it, and that it is about as wise to with
hold healthful stimulant from the weak, in
the expectation that they will rally without
one, as it would be to deprive lamp of oil
and expect it to burn the brighter for it. The
immense and uniform success which has at
tended the use Of that wonderful combination
of pure stimulant with the finest medicinal
herbs, known as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
has largely assisted in dispelling the absurd
chimera. Frantic attempts are made to re-
vive it. but in vain. When the sick feel that
their strength is departing, and that unless in
vigorated they must utterly break down, ii is
in vain to tender them feculent slops in the
place of genuine restoratiyes. They may be
imposed upon in this way once, but the i'm
position cannot be repeated. They desire to
be refreshed, comforted, braced up, and de-
clined to be griped 4 second time. Under the
operation Of the Bitters. on the other hand, all
the processes necessary to physical restoration
20 on simultaneously. The system is stimu-
lated and toned. the bowels regulated, the APP
petite cultivated. the nerves composed and the
condition Of the blood improved at one and
the same time by single medicine. Common
sense tells Us that such preparation must be
invaluable.

Lassitude and Debility.

The relaxation of nervous energy which creates an
indspostion to physical mental effort so strong as
almost to amount to positive inability and which we
term assitude proceeds from variety of causes The
principal of these are constitutional debility heat of
the atmosphere coupled with humidity climatic changes
and the physical prostration consequent upon
long illness But whatever the cause it must be per-
fecty clear that if the nervous system unduy relaxed
something is required to brace it up. That something
is Hosetters Bitters which is universally recognized as
the most complete and speedy recuperan of the physical
forces in existence. 1t has been so thoroughly and
widely demopsra ed to be matter of positive GER
tlny and familiar knowledge that the Bitters will mot
only rehabilitate the physique when shattered and
wasted by disease, but Will also if taken Systematically
actually compensate the consttutonally feeble frame
for its deficiency of strength and by infusng new life
into weak system, endow it with the health and vigor
which Nature has denied it. The Btters also enable
the body to resist the enervating influences of heat
humidity and changes from TEN 1erate to hot eli
mate 1t is these accounts specially to be recon-
mended to travellers and residents in the torrd zone
and persons subjected to abrupt transitions in tempera

A PAINFUL RIDE FOR LlFE.-The Ban;
gor Me-, Wing tells the story of a terrible
ride hich Mr.. Rufus Kilgore, man liv
ing in Oldtown, had II seems that he was
walking on the railroad track in the d.
rection of his home when he was overtak-
en- by train, which was moving slowly on
account of the deep snow. 1t was close
upon him when he discovered it, and a
moments deliberation convinced him
that his only course was to make Jump
for the cow-catcher. This he did, but
miscalculated the speed of the train,
and in consequence Of the severity of
the shock his leg was broken, and it was
with great difficulty that he managed
to secure a grasp. But he chung lesper-
ately, and managed to drag himself up
to the pilot, hanging there during the
run of mile, right in the teeth of the
wind, and covered with flying snow
thrown up by the locomotive in it's way
through the drift. No one on the engine
knew of his dangerous position, and his
cries for help were drowned by the noise
of the wind and roar of the train until
Oldtown was reached, and he was dis
covered more dead than alive. Assis-
lance and restoratives were supplied, and
the frightened and injured man will
probably recover.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common
that it is almost impossible for an editor
to express his honest opinion of the merits of
any article without being suspected of inte-
rested motives. This fact, however, shall not
deter us from saying what we think of a new
addition to the Materia Medica to which our
attention has been recently directed. We
refer to DR.. j. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BIrrERs, remedy which is making its
way into more families just now than all other
advertised medicines put together. Its popu-
larity, as far as we can judge, is not based
on empty pretenSion. There seems to be no
question about the potency of its tonic and
Alternative properties, while it possesses the
great negative recommendation of containing
neither alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is
a specific for Indigestion, Bliousness, Consti-
patton, and many complaints of nervous orr
gin, we have reason to know and we are
assured on good authority that as general
invigorant, regulating and purifying medi-
cine, it has no equal 1t is stated that its in
gradients, obtained from the wilds of Cali
fornia,) are new to the medical world and
its extraordinary effects certainly warrant the
conclusion that it is a compound of agents
hitherto unknown. If popularity is any cri-
terion, there can be no doubt of the efficiency of
tho VINEGAR BITTERs for the sale of the article
is immense and continually increasing .-Com.

The japanese Embassy.

1t is hard to tell who is ambassador
and who is servant-Japanese dignity
being peculiar species of that article,
and not the kind of dignity we encourage.
SO says Washington correspondent re-
ferring to the new arrivals. Besides, the
Japs so much resemble each other you
can hardly tell which is which. Recently
| happened to be in the Arlington when
Mr. Sheckles, the clerk, received an order
for sick functionary's meal He had
marked more than twenty fancy dishes -
that is, rich things that sick Yankee
will studiously avoid. And he told the
waiter to be sure and bring him plenty
of hard boiled eggs and ice cream, One
night, about twelve o'clock, three or four
of them got together in q room and or
dered hard boiled eggs and ice cream for
supper Sheckles says they will never
get around the world if they live in other
countries as they live here. They do not
seem to eat much, but they live on the
most outlandish food.
They seem to think all the hotels are
under one management, if we may judge
from their movements. A lot of them
went into the Ebbitt House, took break
fast, and walked off without paying or
making any explanation. When they
first came they were nearly all quartered
at the Arlington. Some went to other
hotels. Now they are scattered all over
the city, some in hotels, others in board
ing houses. But the principal officers of
the embassy all stay at the Arlington.
| was standing at the office of the Airing
ton when an angular-faced Jap came up,
with baggage ON his arm, and said to the
clerk " Me goin' away. Me won't be
here any more"
"Where are you going?" said the
clerk.
Me goin' to Ebbitt House"
"Will you give up your rooms 2"
ono; me and two other fellows goin'
free other fellows come from Ebbitt
House take our place"
So they go, to the imperial, Metropoli-
tan, Welcker's, W0rmiey's and all over.
The hotel keepers like it. They can
make from ten to twenty dollars average
day out of each Jap, from Iwakura to
Hokepoke, and it will be found that the
government will have such bills to pay
for the Japs for the same time at two diff
ferent hotels. II any one happens to
twit them about their curious antics, they
say. Me don't care me got plenty
money, and me goin' to spend it,"

Schemacha is 2,316 feet above the Cas-

The TichbOrne Case.

Sir J. Coleridge, Attorney-General,
spoke for twenty-eight days in all, and
produced very effective Grafton, though
it was marred by some rather serious de-
fects of taste and temper, and there was
a strong appearance of talking against
time. He was very pathetic in his ref
erences to the widow and her child,
whom it was now sought to despoil by
an abominable conspiracy, and also to
Rogers cousin, Kate Doughty, now Mrs.
Radcliffe, and the SANDERS of which she
had been made the victim.
"a great estate and an old and honor
able family await your verdict. On you
depends whether young and noble lady
Of spotess character and her young son
shall enjoy that estate and represent that
family, or whether the estate is to be
wasted and that family destroyed by a
perjurer, forger, slanderer and villain.
When Chetiock Tichborne came to die,
in the time of Queen Elizabeth, he spoke
of the family of Tichborne as having
lived unstained in its place in Hampshire,
for two hundred before the Conquest.
Three hundred years have passed since
then, and the hopes of that great and
ancient house are centered in that little
child, and for him | ask your verdict"
Among the first witnesses called for
the defence was Mrs. Radcliffe, who sol
emily and pointedly denied the abomi-
nable SANDER of claimant as to his al
legged intimacy with her. 1t was an
noupced that she was in an interesting
condition, and that she came to give this
evidence with great pain, and even in
peril Of life, and the opposing counsel
was necessarily very mild in his cross
examination, and allied in any way to
shake her testimony.

They all died courageously. But Yer

struck them, for, as they rode up towards
it, it did not move nor give any signs of
life, but stood as motionless as if carved

to death. He had died leaning against

the effects of the war on the mortality in
Paris, in which city the average num-
Der of annual deaths is $4,000. In 1870
1851 were registered, while in 1871 the
frightful amount of 99,945 was reached.
During the same period the number of
births had diminished by about four
ffths, and in September last it had fallen
from $500 to 1,729. While the deaths
doubled, the births diminished by one
half.
