The second Of the series Of Sunday concerts will
be given this evening at the Grand Opera House.
Judging from the satisfaction manifested by the
public last Sunday, these entertainments are
likely to become popular. Considerable appre-
tensions on the score OF morality were at first
tertained, but the character OF the entertainment
quite sets at rest all fears on that point in the
minds OF those who were not strict Sabbatarians.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.


N~s-SS-.SAo AAOS0403EB6H0e
The committee rooms at the Spingler House were
visited yesterday by large number or distin-
guished gentlemen from home and abroad, and
much activity was apparent In the reorganization
OF the campaign, made necessary by the recent
disasters In Pennsylvania and Ohio. Representa-
tves nom the liberal committees were present for
some time, In consultation as to the best means OF
checking the swelling tide Of Grantism-regarded
as the sum q al denominations as
claimed, Il IKE to swallow up our in
nected herewith. The Northern States, which, it
for Greeley Greeley are New HAMPSHIRE, % % Connecticut and
New York, and In the West Indiana Illinois and
Wisconsin, and these with others quite well as
sured, may make Greeley President after all. The
Democratic Executive Committee will issue an ad-
dress upon Monday, in which the situation win be
reviewed and an effort made to show that the pros
Ex-Governor P. o. Hebert an able and active
politician from Louisiana, has recently come on
here from soiourn at the Virginia Springs to look
after the gentlemen who some few weeks since
were 80 prolific in promises to the South That she
is like to perform her part was demonstrated In
Northern friends are to fail her, and
that she Is like to endure another
caused her ruin. Other prominent gentlemen from
the South are In the city and their presence here
and the immense number OF letters received from
that section by the committee asking Of the situa
ti0n and seeking some encouragement show how
important the crisis Is considered by our Southern
brethren. IL is appreciated by those conducting
the campaign that . feeling Is very generally rife
that such change in the financial policy OF the gov
ernment as win prove Immediately disastrous to
the business interests OF the country will follow
upon the election OF Greeley, and that the people,
fearing this, are disposed to keep the present ad-
mnistration In power, though It's acts are In many
respects not approved Of A systematic efr0rt is
being made to do away with this feeling, and vigor
ous attack is being made through the press, official
documents and on the stump upon the financial
policy OF the Grant government and an effort made
to show that an Improvement must follow the elec-
tion OF Greeley.

COunterfefting to the Death.

The effete monarchies" of the Old World are now busy with the < autumn man9uvres" of their armies. These manuuvres resemble in many of their features the famous C general training" day of our forefathers. At the Russian camp, however, some additions have been made which undoubtedly would have astonished even the traditional militia officer.
 At this camp one day sham fight was arranged, and preparations were made by the ambulance corps to take care of the wounded. As the battle was only to be feigned, it was necessary in the first place to select @ number of men to play the parts of the killed and confusion each one was furnished with a severity of his injuries. @
 The troops then marched out, the mimic combat, began and soon the ground was thickly covered with the yictims of wars fell rage. The ambulance men advanced and began to pick up the sufferers. The wounds of each one, as indicated by the ticket attached to the body. were carefully examined, and the proper remedies were promptly admin lstered. One of the soldiers, however, received instructions which justified him, as he thought, in giving up the ghost. Those who were taking care of the wounded were surprised at finding that he gave no sign of life aud immediately called an officer for consultation. The officer asked what ailed him, butreceived no reply. A physician was then called, under whose direction water was thrown in the wounded mans face, but without the desired result. Finally, the signal for the close of the exercises sounded. whereupon the dead man jumped up as we'll as ever. In reply to the questions which were put to him he said that he had done nothing but what it seemed to him the severity of his wounds required

 Every indication of debility and exhaustion is a mute appeal of Nature for medicinal aid to the of decay How are these silent appeals of physical weakness to the resources of the healing art usually met?

Whoever on the contrary advises the broken down and desponding suf resort to that peerless vegetable nvigorant. Hostettsr's Stomach Bittsrs, for aid and comfort is phanthropst.

THE EMPLOYMENT OF "DRUMMERs. "- The Journaz of Commerce is inclined to think that reaction is approaching in the method of attracting custom. The employment of drummers i've are told) is essentially demoralizing. It a, .ost certainly debauches the agent s* ,er or latter, and tends by the instrument alties used to the injury of the morals and habits of customers. Even where these evils can be avoided it is most expensive agency, and this will lead to its disuse, since if employers are not sick of it, the buyers must see that they have to support it, and must eventually de. cline to lay in their stock subject to such costly machine for distribution. It is a great mistake to suppose that these local and travelling solicitors of custom are at all necessary to the transaction of large business. The first essential is brains, then sufficient credit and capital to pre- sent desirable stock. Judicious ad- vertising will announce this to every man whose custom is worth having. Cour- tesy and fair dealing will complete what is thus auspiciously begun. Drumming leads directly to dissipation and icen- tiousness; but if it were morally unex- ceptionable, it is too heavy tax to be laid upon the distribution of goods. Country merchants are growing as shy of these red-faced borers as the farmers are of the ightning-rod agents or patent pill pedlars. Have stock worth selling
 announce the fact to the public in the columns of newspaper, and when a customer is thus found make it for his interest and pleasure to come again.

THE Two EXTREMES. T wo classes of

THE Two EXTREMES. T wo classes of medical thinkers attempt to cure disease by opposite modes of treatment. One class forces the system into preter- natural activity the other depresses and weakens it. Both are wrong. To in- flame the blood of an invalid with medi- cated alcohol is as dangerous as to apply undue steam pressure to weak boiler 1; and to prostrate the physical energy, which is the natural opponent of disease, by depleating treatment, is an act of almost equal temerity. There is me- dium between these two extremes, and DR. JOSEPH WALKER, to whom the world owes the famous CALIFORNIA VINEGAR B1TTERs, has been fortunate enough to strike it. He has produced from simple vegetable elements without the admixture of any distilled or fermen- ted fluid, specific comprising the inn portant proprieties of wholesome tonic, a gentle evacuant, purifier of the secre- tions, pulmonic, a sedative, and 8 powerful anti bilious agent. Never be- fore were these six sanative qualities comprehended in one medicine, and never before did one medicine cure so many different diseases. Dyspepsia, liver-complaint, diseases of the kidneys, rheumatism, intermittent fever, dis orders of the bowels, gout, nervous af- fections, and malad:es proceeding from impurity of the blood, are only few of the bodily ills for which VINEGAR BIT- TIERS is considered an unfailing remedy. -COn

A LIVE GENERAL.-I was amused the other night by a conversation which I could not help hearing between live "Generar' and dozen or so of admirers who surrounded him. ''Were you in the Seven Oaks battle, General ?" asked one. "Well, no, was at that time specially|de- tailed on recruiting service,'' responded the General, martially curling his huge mustache. "Were you at the Vicksburg siege2" asked another. "Ns, I was in Washington then" A third struck in "But you were at Antietam, I think, Gen. eral. "Well, no, Pm sorry to say had not an opportunity to be in that engage ment; I was sent out West just before it. " "While you were out West were you in the great Lookout Mountain fight9" " No, sir, was at that time on special detached service at New Orleans I believe, if I re- member aright, and soon afterward re- turned to Washington" "I think I have heard that you did good service at Fred ericEsburg, Generals" q hope that I should have done so, had the good luck to be there, but unfortunately, only day or two before, had got a furlough to come home to see my wife, who was very sick" And so this conversation went on
