At this season the vegetable world takes new

from the earth and hangs suspended over it in the

!. INDIRECT DAWAGES.

There are rumors in circulation that the
dispute over the consequential damages
will be brought to peaceful close. A cor
respondent of the Boston Globe says state
ment has been made to him, on authority
which he accepts, ''going to show that me-
gotations are now going on between this
government and Great Britain which are ex-
pected to lead to an amicable settlement with
out our indirect claims being Withdrawn, or
England failing to abide the result of the con-
ference. Tits expected that the British min
istry will be induced to go forward with the
arbitration, on the pre-anticipated ground OF
the rejection of the claims.
The Tribune states that the Administration
has changed its attitude, and acknowledged
that the claims were inserted in the case I'M
der misunderstanding. The statement OF
the Tribune will need confirmation to entitle
it to credit. But there seems to be little rea
son to doubt that the difficulty in the Alabama
matters has been or will be removed, so tina,
the arbitration may go on as designed.

A MELANCHOLY BREAK DowN.-There are
lively breakdowns that make an audience
laugh, and there are sad and sorrowful break
downs that make the kindheartcd grieve. To
the latter class belongs the excavation of body
and mind which is usually called general
debility" or "nervous weakness" and which
when neglected, too often terminates in
atrophy and death. wholesome medicated
stimulant is the one thing needed in cases Of
this description, and science and experience
unite in pointing to Plantation Bitters as the
true specific. The fact that it combines the
properties of an invgorant with those OF g
regulator and Alternative, in exactly the pro
portions necessary TO produce radical
change in the tone of the system, and the ac'
ton of the digestive and secretive organs, is
an unanswerable argument in its favor as a

TIE FIFTH DISTRICT NONINA TTON
The Eastpsrt Seminole of last week declares

The Eastpsrt Seutinelof last week declares
in favor Of the denomination of Hon. Eugene
Hale as the republican candidate for Congress
in the Fifth district. The Sentinel says;
We are not aware that there is any consider
able opposition to the denomination of Mr..
Hale in this part of the District and the west
ern part whose wishes in reference to a can
didate are entitled to great weight, is pre-
pared, we learn, to present Mr.. Hale as their
choice.
We know of no good reason against the re-
nomination of Mr.. Hale. No one questions
his soundness as republican, and the same
talent, industry, and worthy ambition that be
fore the age OF thirty years, gave him the first
rank at the Hancock county bar, has givei
him position and influence in the National
House Of Representatives that is surpassed
by few of the members of that hody and by
none whose Congressional experience is nj
longer than his.
Mr.. Hale has never been charged with neg
lectng the interests of his constituents, but
on the contrary it is generally, conceded that
IN this respect he has well earned the com
hiendation, ~ ell done good and faithful serv-
ant"
We have yet to hear OF the first instance
/ where any one of his constituents has request
/, ed ms aid In adjusting questions in the depart
1 ments at w ashington or endeavoring by leg
isialloh IN Congress TO promote his interests,
4 ana MT. Hales best efforts have not been given
promptly, earnestly, and usually with success.
believing, therefore, that the interests of
the District will be best promoted by the re-
nomination and reelection of Mr. Hale we
propose to use our best efforts in accomplish-
ing both results.
