This expression is often used. but it is manifes.y
absurd. Gloom and melancholy are not spontaneous
They are unnatural mental conditions and usually
have corresponding causes. If there is no apparent
reason for dependency it is symptom of physical
disease. In nine cases out Of ten the stomach the
liver and the bowels are responsible for the cloud
which rests upon the brain. In all such cases imme-
diate and permanent relief may be obtained by the
of Hostetter's Stomach Btters If the digestive
organs are weak an nvigorant is necessary if the
liver is dsordered Alternative is required; if the
bowels are constipated irregular gentle aperient
is needed. In that famous vegetable remedy these
three medicinal properties commingled with
several Others Of scarcely less important character
and hence it speedily cures every species of hypo-
chondria arising from material causes, by removing
the causes themselves.
In the summer, when disorders of the stomach
and bowels, bilious complaints and all diseases
which affect the assmilating and secretive organs
are especially prevalent the importance of having
this invaluable tonic, Alternative and corrective in ev-
cry dwelling, and within the reach of all who travel
by land or water, cannot be over-estmated As it is
staple article throughout the country it would be
next to impossible to find settlement, near or re-
mote, unprovded with stock of this famous vegeta-
BILE restorative.

Political.

A wide-awake Republican at ''The Forks, y
Somerset county, has sent us a campaign list
that embraces nearly every Republican vote1
in the plantation. This is certainly the BAN
ner town.
Among the Democrats who met at Wash
ington on Tuesday to arrange for third can
didate was Congressman Read of the Fourth
Kentucky District, delegate to Baltimore,
and instructed to vote for Greeley.
An old subscriber at Eastport is not pleas
ed at the despatch of the associated press re-
lative to flag raisings in that town. He
bluntly says that ''the flags were small affairs,
one ofwhich was raised by disappointed Of
fice-seeker, and the other by man who sells
rum" The Republicans have thrown out a
large Grant and Wilson flag but our asso.
ciated press agent there gives no notice of it.
Wrote Horace Greeley before his fall: "a
whole swarm of slanderers has been buzzing
about the President, emerging for the most
part from professedly Republican hives;'' and
he added that some of these ISLANDERS were
"transparently false; others too audaciously
false for any one connected with the Presi-
dent to think them worthy of consideration p
Which is precisely what the Republican party
now says in reference to the ISLANDERS now re-
tailed by the ''Liberal " organs.

Good Campaign Documents.

Some OF the Democratic papers desire
their readers to contrast Horace Greeley's
letter of acceptance with that of Gen. Grant.
BY all means let them do so! N the two
letters could be printed together, they would
make the best Republican campaign docu-
ment issued since the famous edition of the
speeches of Lincoln and Douglas, delivered
during their joint discussion in 1858, which
had so great effect in 1860. Indeed nothing
better calculated TO turn the tide still more
strongly in Grants favor is now available, so
far as we know, except Senator Summers late
speech, which, as printed in last weeks Tri-
bune, turned the hearts of every Greeley Re-
publican in whole school districts from the
Blair candidate to the candidate of the peo-
pie. The two letters show the difference be-
tween an honest man and a politician crazed
by the desire for office. Gen. Grant wrote
his modest answer to a notification that
he had been unanimously renominated by
delegates elected by the people of every
State and every Congressional district in
the Union, when he had spare moment
at the capitol one day. He wrote it
ndSGlly anu ndue no second uraIJ. lie Sdlu
exactly what he meant in few words and in
diction good enough for a President, if not
for a college professor. Horace Greeley, on
the other hand, wrote his elaborate and pre-
tentious answer to a notification that dis
reputable cabal, organized in a convention of
disappointed office-seekers who went to Gin
cincinnati &C the suggestion of no one but
themselves, after the most painful incuba-
tion-after a careful examination of the po-
itical situation and protracted considera-
ton of the effect of every word on the vari-
GUS classes of people he wished to conciliate
Gen. Grants letter is simply soldiers frank
'yes." Greeleys is a politicians response,
with stump speech, an argument and
humble, imploring personal appeal in its bel
ly. Grant succeeded in few words in dis
closing the straightforward, simple and hon
est character of his mind, while his oppo-
nent. after great elaboration and unnecessary
delay, only succeeded in showing himself the
most adroit of politicians, versed in all the
duplicity and cunning of his guild, and ready
to throw away the cherished convictions of a
lifetime at a moments notice, if his inter
ests seem to require the trivial sacrifice
Let every voter read the two letters in sue
cession by all means. 1t will be like sitting
down to Lincoln's last inaugural, and finish
ing with a chapter of MachiayelG!

Is 1t Just I?

1t is said every day, eff we only kne,o thai
the contract to finish the Ogdensburg road was
an honest contract and made with reliable par.
ties in good faith, we would not hesitate for a
moment to vote for the loan." Now the Direc
tors have told the citizens that it is honest that
the contractors are reliable, and that they will
certainly build the road for the sum named, il
the contract is closed. Is it just to tell these
Directors that they are not to be believed that
their word is not to be taken? Ought not men
who are in honest doubt to call upon Gen. An.
derson, Mr.. Deering, Mr.. Messer, Mr.. Putnam
or some other Director, for the facts, before
running to the newspapers with squibs imply
ing that they are set of swindlers?

We have been asked by several serious mind
ed men OF late, the following question: care
is, we believe in Horace as the editor of the
New York Tribune, and as very honest, able,
and goodish sort of man, but before concInd
ng to support him for the Presidency, we shall
examine the claims OF George Francis Train
and Daniel Pratt; and the chances are that we
shall be as likely to determine in favor of either
of the latter as the former We trust this will
suffice as personal explanation ''-Bridqton

The AUGUST COMET MYTH.-Plantemour s
comet turns out to be no comet at all! Hun
dreds of journals on both sides of the Atlantic
have discussed the probabilities of its appear
ance; astronomers have manifested an eager
interest in the problem; and Donati, who
knows more about comets than any one else on
the globe, has issued paper from the Royal
Observatory of Florence, giving his views on
the subject. Meanwhile NJ. Plantemour of
Geneva, the cause of all the commotion, who
has been greatly edited by reading the accounts
OF the startling excitement caused by his an
nouncement of the near approach of great
comet, quietly puts the whole matter to rest by
coming forward with the declaration that he
has never even discovered comet, much less
predicted the near approach Of the time when
the earth, and all that dwell therein, shall be
burned up or dissolved into vapor
