but Saunders has gained q moral victory which
should be more gratifying to him than the
senseless yells and fendish applause which
were given to his opponent. The arrange

of the peace were admirable, and 1t is entire

A PeriIOuS Season.

Glorious and delightful as the Sum-
mer season is, its tropical heat is Sc
we're trial to the vital powers. Even
the strongest are sometimes Frustrated
by its effects. The common phrase ap-
piled to this condition of the body is
general debility" Now, general de-
bility arises from, and includes va
riety of ailments. The liveris more or
less affected, the bowels are either con.
stipated CT too much relaxed, the sto
mach but half performs the work of
digestion, the appetite is poor, and the
spirits depressed. This is what is
called general debility. 1t is ageneral
disarrangemcnt Of ali the physical
functions, and requires as a remedy q
medicine that will regulate them all.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is specially
adapted to this purpose. Its general
operation is not confined TO single
organ. If the liver is affected, it 1e-
stores its tone. If the stomach is tor
pid, it regenerates it. II the nerves
are tremulous and weak, it braces and
reinforces them. If the mind, which
ever sympathizes with the body is
gloomy and Respondent, it relieves the
difficulty, and soon brings the whole
mechanism of the body into harmony
with the laws of health.
There is no civilized ration in the
Western Hemisphere in which the util-
ity of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as
tonic, corrective and anti. bilious med
icine, is not known and appreciated.
Throughout the Tropics it is consider
ed, both BY the people aud the profess
sion, the standard specific. While it
is medicine for all seasons and all
it is especially suited to the
complaints generated by the weather,
being the purest and best vegetable
in the world.
Beware of the Bitters made of acria
and dangerous materials, which un-
parties are endeavoring to
foist upon the people. Their name is
legion, and the public has no guaran-
tee that they are not poisonous. Ad-
here to the tried remedy, Hostetter's
Bitters, sold only in glass, and never
10 kegs or barrels.

North Carolina EicCii0n-The Rad
ical Backbone Broken.

The election in North Carolina last
Thursday resulted in an overwhelm-
ing Democratic victory. The Demo.
Gratis elect their State ticket by mere
than 10000 majority, six ont of eigb'
members of Congress, and have a ma
jority in the Legislature of more than
forty on joint ballot, thus securing &
Senator in place of the renegade Fool
Of the Democratic members Of Con-
gress elected is Governor Zebulon B
Vance, whose seat in the Senate was
refused him by Grants tools. His
friends have another chance to send
him back next winter. Of the Radical
candidates defeated is Judge Thomas
Settle, who presided over the Conven-
ton which nominated Grant and VIII
son.
North Carolina gave Grant 1900
majority in 1863. 1t gave Democrat
ic majority of 1900 in 1870. But the
new Constitution, which was put for
ward last year as a Democratic meas
are, was defeated by 5000 majority.
The Democrats, therefore entered the
campaign with the odds against them.
Moreover, the difficulty was heighten-
ed by the fact that the Democratic
ticket was put forward before the Bal
timore nomination, and therefore, the
Liberal Republicans were not repre-
sented on it. Considering that so many
disadvantages had to be overcome the
victory is most astonishing one.
As it was the first gun of the cam
raign the Radicals put forth most ex-
traordinary efforts to gain a victory
They gave out that if the State should
60 for Grant all the Southern States
would follow her example and Grants
election be secured. Money was sent
without limit to be used for campaign
purposes. The Radical military bill
was used without hesitation. All the
ablest Radical stump orators went
down to discuss the issues of the cam
paign. And yet the Grant party is
beaten by an increased majority.
There is not county in the State in
which the Conservatives have not made
gains.
We will take the Radicals. at their
word and admit that this election has
decided the contest for the Presidency.
Grant is beaten before the campaign
fairly opens. Every Southern State,
hardly excepting South Carolina, will
follow the example of North Carolina
and vote for the Democratic ticket.
From present appearances the major
ity for Greeley and Brown will be the
largest in the history of the country.

of the waves the chain had been

were worn nearly half way through
where the friction occurred, and the
links were set in such a manner as to
form perfect emblem of the three

these links thus curiously abraded were

COTTON PICKING BY MACHINERY
The Journal Of Commerce says:
IA cotton gathering machine was
exhibited lately in the Cotton Ex-
change. 1t is in the form of q double
car, open in the middle, and supported
by large wheel on each side. 1t is
drawn by two mules, who walk be-
tween the rows Of plants. AS it moves
forward, the plants between the mules
pass into the open space between the
cars, and are caught by a series of
metallic fingers which allow the stalk
and leaves to pass, but catch the boil,
break it from the stalk, carry it to the
interior of the car and drop it on an
endless clotch running on guide rollers.
The cloth is moved by belts connec-
ting the wheels with the guide rollers,
and feeds the bolls into sacks suspend
ed at the rear of the machine. The
inventor claims that it will do the work
of fifty-two men,.
