How We Used TO be Physicked.

Who does not remember the time when
spring purgation was considered indespen-
Sible to summer health? No matter for
wry faces, the inevitable salts and SIENNA,
rhubarb, or calomel and jalap. must be ad-
ministered. These 'sprinS medicines, " the
youngsters. were told, were to keep them
hale and hearty during the summer. We
all know now that this fal aCy; that
new vigor, not depletion, is what is requir-
ed at the commencement of the summer
Solstice. AS u preparation for the enerva-
ting effects of oppressive summer weather,
course of HoStetter'S Stomach RitterS is
highly expedient. This famous vegetable
preparation has three prominent proper
ties: 1t renoVates, purifies, and regulates
all the functions Of the body. 1t is COM
posed exclusively of pure vegetable pro-
dnctions, viz: the essential principle Of
Monongahela Rye, and the most etlicacious
tonic and Alternative roots, banks, and
gums known to medical botanists. Hence,
it is an absolutely safe medicine, and no
tincture of the Pharmacopuea can compare
with it either in purity, or in the variety of
its objects, and its comprehensive results.
Happily for mankind, the theory that it
was necessary to PROSTATE a patient in on
der to cure him, is forever exploded, and
the true philosophical doctrine that vigor
is the great antagonist of disease, has taken
its place. 1lostetter'S Btters is an inyig-
GRANT, and hence it is the proper medicine
for the feeble ut this most trying season of
the year.
BE sure that YOU obtain the genuine arti-
Gle. as there are innumcrable vile limitations
in the market. Look to the ornamental
stamp, the engraved label, and the name
blown into the glass. fIOStetter'S Stomach
BitterS is sold in hotties only.

AnnnnI Report, for 1871, Of Louisiana

TO the courtesy of Col. ID. +. Boyd,
we are indebted for his annual report,
for 1871 , of the condition and operations
of the State University for the past
calendar year. Col. Boyd evinceS no
,timinutiOn of zeal in his artluOus I'M
dcrtaking. His report is lengthy, able
and convincing, and is Il valuable ac-
tuisition to Il gcntleman's library.
The reports of the several professors,
who have been engaged either in in
specting colleges and schools i'll other
States and countries, or in making geo.
logical and Typographical surveys of
our own State, are all interesting ana
replete with useful information. Tho
University is still struggling with diff
culties caused by the burning of its
main building near Alexandria two
years ago, and by the ruinous condi-
ton of the States finances.
The number of pay cadets last year
was -; of beneficiary cadets, 1JG. OF
this number Louisiana furnished 217,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Judge Caldwell, acting in his official
capacity as U. S. Commissioner, has
been engaged in the trial Of Frank
Smith, Il driver on Chaffe's stage line,
on charge of robbing the mails. The
affidavit against Smith was made by
Donnelly, Il brother whip, who had
previously been committed to await
trial on similar charge; and was to
the effect that Smith told him (Donnel-
Ivy that he was tired of WORKING SO
hard and not making more money;
that he had had an opportunity to ex-
tract money from. the mail pouches,
but his team would not stand for him
to go through the sacks. That one or
two days subsequent to this CONVERSE
ton, Smith came to him and exhibited
some forty dollars, and that this occur
red just after the mail had been robbed.
RECRUITING evidence showed that
smith was not on the particular coach
carrying the sacks that were opened.
Other evidence Went to establish his
Innocence, and he was accordingly dis
charged by the Commissioner.
There We're four registered letters
taken from the mail pouch, all on the
10th ult. One had been mailed ut vi
emma, and was addressed to Il CONNER
cial firm in Trenton, about thirty miles
distant.s Two, others Were, addressed
to New Orleans, and the fourth to Mem
phis. There seems to be but little doubt
that a driver named NIcNiillcn got
these letters, and that he and Donnelly
were in copartnership in the mail-rob-
bling business, and that a key is in their
possession.
We are pleased to know that the
management of postal affairs in this
section has ut last secured some atten-
ton from the authorities. Every de-
partmcnt of the business has been too
loosely conducted. The order of things
has been reversed ever since the war:
the mail agents and officials have been
the masters and the people the servants.
We trust that we have seen only the
beginning Of the reformation, and that
the boosted protection and benefits of
the general government, instead of
being heard of in every breath, will be
felt in every delinquency.
