All the Year Round.

And in all parts of the world, the elements of dis
ease are present in the air, the soil and the water,
in greater or less degree, and therefore the Great
Vegetable Antidote to these invisible enemies of
health, Hostetters stomach Bitters, is invaluable
as household medicine at all seasons and in every
latitude AT no period of the year is regulating
and corrective medicine more needed than toward
the close ofwnter, when the sun and rain are be-
ginning to break up the winter blockade, and from
the softening soil arises that terrible miasma
which weighs like an incubus upon the vital ma
chinery, and depresses the animal spirits. 1t is
then that the seeds of intermittent and remttent
fevers, of rheumatism and rheumatic govt, of OBJ
stinate stomach complaints, of disorders of the
liver and bowels and q whole host of pulmonary
and nervous complaints are sown.
The best the surest way to prevent this disas-
trous seeding is to invgorate and refresh the sys-
tenn with of the Bitters. If this precaution
be taken now there will be no danger of the mi.
asmatc germs taking root in the fluids and tissues
of the body and bringing forth terrible fruit in the
spring. Now is the time for prevention Remem-
Der that vgor is the only safeguard against the
virus of disease and that Hosteter's Btters is the
purest, the safest, the most powerful and perfect
nvigorant ever administered, either as protective
medicine or remedy. A change of season ap-
breaches which almost always proves more or less
disastrous to persons of u weak nervous organiza-
ton. Brace up at once with the leading Tonic of

Amnesty Defeated.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says:
The final vote in the Senate Saturday
means that general amnesty is indefinitely
postponed. Senator Logan's Chicago relief
bill will come up on Monday, and Senator
Cole has given notice that on Tuesday he
will call up the legislative appropriation bill
and press it steadily. The House has already
completed three appropriation bills, and hav-
ing three more pending will be able to keep
the Senate promptly supplied with material
for legislation. There are also two addition
al amnesty bill from the House now on the
Senate table. but the moral certainty that
Mr.. Sumner will endeavor to attach his civil
rights amendment and the greater certainty
that an interminabie discussion would ensue,
render it very improbable that the Senate
will take the risk to again open the prolific
subject and incur the necessary delay to the
public business. 1t is also doubtful if either
of the House amnesty bills could obtain q
two-thirds majority in the Senate in theil
present form. Amnesty has now occupied
nearly two months, and the Senate shares in
the general WEAKNESS of the subject, and is
willing to lay it aside for the present. The
final result is precisely as was. predicted at
the beginning, though generous lodging at
the last has slightly modified the relative
strength of the parties. Senator Summers
civil rights amendment had smaller majority
than was anticipated, owing, perhaps, to con-
stitutional objections which have gained
strength and expression for the last few days,
and certainly to the absence of several of its
friends. The friends of amnesty, pure and
simple, do not hesitate tonight to put the
responsibility of the defeat of the measure
upon Senator Sumner and the supporters of
his civil rights amendment, and they say
openly, what has been often intimated in de-
bate, that it was their way of killing amnes-
ty, and that they have contended for it Sd
earnestly only because they knew that by
this means they could defeat the bill. There
is general sense of relief, however, that the
agony is over and the field clear for more
important and practical subjects of legisla-
ton,

or other competent evidence shall have been
filed in any case before this commission,
either party to any other case may use such

dence was not originally taken or filed, shall

even should England recede from the treaty,
that the results would be more serious in
their consequences than existed before it
was negotiated. Nothing even has been
limited in official circles about strengthening
our national defences to NEE: possible con-

an opinion that such measures would become
necessary. 1t is reported in executive quar-

all matters submitted to their determination,
