Yes, answered Dumas,

''Was a mulatto the distinguished
Gen. Dumas, Of the army OF Italy
and a mulatto," roarcd the author
in tones that left no doubt Of the
quality of his lungs.
"And his mother?' continued the
intruder interrogativelv.
Was a negro - shouted Dumas,
rising to his feet.
And who, may I ask, was her
mother: continued the enterprising
and indefatigable bore.

Pennsylvania proposes to amend
her constitution so as to prohibit
her judges from gratuitous rides up
on railways. and to permit her iuries
to render valid verdict by two
thirds majority. The New York
WorH makes this the occasion to
say there seems to be some incon-
gruity between these twain PROPOSE
tions. however, for if the average
Pennsylvania judge be 50 cheap
that he may be purchased for the
price Of a railway ticket, it ought to
be easy for any criminal Of moder-
ste means to buy st least five aver
age Pennsylvania jurymen.

CIRCULATING OUR FACTS.

We have for some time contemplated
preparing for circulation in a cheap and
convenient form, careful selection from
the series of articles published for the past
sixteen months in the WEEKLY CHRoN-
ICLE, giving facts concerning the advan-
tages offered to immigrants in East Ten
nessee. The matter has now taken tam
ible shape. We have in preparation
series of articles, giving all the more i'm
portant facts we have heretofore compiled
as to our climate, productions, soil, price of
lands, &c. In connection with these, we
will publish our recent articles on Knox
vile as commercial and manufacturing
center, and as desirable point for immi
grants desiring healthful location with
social, educational and religious advan-
tages. We will print this matter in
the shape of an Immigration Paper
of eight pages. This will give about forty
columns of reading matter such as every
immigrant wants. We propose to make

THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARIES.

The Press and Herald thinks the New
York Tribune has cornered Senator Will
son OH his statement that Trumbull was
wrong in claiming that the detail of Gems.
Porter and Babcock as Secretaries to the
President was contrary to law. Our con-
temporary yesterday copied from the Tri-
5URe an act of Congress fOrbidding any
military officer ".from accepting or cCer-
cjSiHg the functions Of q ciUU officer" The
supposition was that Wilson did not know
of this law. But it turns out just as
might have been expected. Wilson knew
all about the law for he reported it,
1t appears now, however, that he knows
more about it than Trumbull or the TTj-
blC1c expected. Mr.. Crounse, the Wash
ington correspondent of the Times, repro
duces the debate on the bill when before
the Senate, and it appears that Trumbull
then gave it as his opinion that the pro-
posed law would not prevent details of
the kind complained of. So that Wilson
knew what he was saying and Trumbull
did not.
But all this aside. The complaint is ri
diculous and mean. General Grant had
Generals Porter and Babcock with him i'll
confidential positions all through the war.
He had confidence in them and de-
sired their services. He was entitled to
the aid they render. He detailed them
from the army to do civil duty. They do
not get cent more pay for it. Itdoes not
cost the Government dollar more. Their
services are not particularly needed in the
army, as we are all happy to know, and
there is no reason or sense in the Objec-
tons made to their detail. But this COM
plant is Oh par with most of the others
urged and will have little cOuntenance
from the people.

Atmospheric Diseases.


The air. without which creature could live, Is the
source of diseases of which millions die. At this
especially, the atmosphere is full of the germs of
many kinds of sickness. Every globule of the mist
and fog which cloud the earth and sky in spring holds
in solution its portion of miaSmatic poison.
The effects of this aerial virus only be certainly
averted by increasing the vital activity of the system
and securing the full and free exercise of all its natural
functions and hence it is that HoStetter's Stomach
Bttes the great nerve strengthened regulator, and
antidote to malaria, is mperatively required in the
spring months
1t is at this time, too, that Dyspepsia assumes its
most distressing types and that persons of bilious hab
its usually suffer most There is influence in the
air which depresseS the spirits well the physical
energies and in order to restore their elasticity tonic
treatment is absolutely necessary.
All the world knows that the wonderful efficiency OF
HOstetters Btters in of Indigestion biliOusneS
nervous prOsratOn and alarious fever is due to the
potency of its tonic, Alternative and aperient materials
and the absolutely pure stimulant with which they
are incorporated.
1t is because the public have been taught by twenty
years experience that the article be implicitly
trusted-insOmuch that it performs uniformly and
ainly all that it is advertised to dOthat they prefer
this sovereign tonic to every other Hence its immense
and ever-ncreasing sales, and hence too alas the
many counterfeits and limitations. against which there
is safeguard except the close scrutiny of the pur
chaser. --
