Austria lasian Postal Service via the
United States.

From London we learn that the Marquis of
Harrington, Postmaster General of Great
Britain, has received dispatches from the Post
master General of New Zealand, announcing
that satisfactory partnership has been con-
Guided between the colonies of Victoria and
New Zealand for the transportation of the
English mails for Australia by way of San
Francisco. 1t is not stated whether this part
nership- contemplates the employment Of the
Webb line of steamships or whether it will
have the effect of reviving the English line re-
Gently discontinued. 1t matters little which is
the result The great fact to be noted in the
case is that the governments of New Zealand
and Victoria have come to the conclusion that
the shortest and in every way most conven-
lent route between Europe and Australia is via
the United States We congratulate these two
colonial governments for the common sense
which they have thus displayed The day is
not distant, as we have again and again said in
these columns, when New York and San Fran
cisco will be the two great commercial centres
Of the world We are the central people, and
the wealth of the young nations of the South
ern seas, as well as the wealth Of Europe and
of Asia, must pass through our hands. Not
farther westward can the tide Of empire roll

CROWDED AND FILTHY STREET Cans. The nui-
of over crowded street continues to in
crease with the approach of the hot summer
days. The leading lines on each side Of the
city are yearly getting from bad to worse. At
certain times during the day they are SO
packed that two-mile journey on one of them
calls to mind what we read of the horrors of
the middle passage The cars of some, in fact
of nearly all of the lines, are kept in such a
filthy condition that the Board of Health should
take the matter in hand and try and accom-
plsh something for the citizens Some time
ago it made quite show of activity in this di-
rection but, SO far as we can see, little resulted
from it. We expect to see something done in
the way Of having clean cars at least, and the
people of New York are anxious that it shall
be done promptly.

GENERAL SHERNAN's RECEPTION IN CoNsTAN-

corded welcome by the Sultan of Turkey not
often bestowed even upon royal visitors. The
honors showered upon him in the grand old
East by the Viceroy of Egypt have been re-
peated in the Turkish capital, and 10y the Sui

before the unpretending representatives of
American democracy, and warm welcomes greet
them everywhere they 50. Sherman like Sew

richly freighted by the glorious recollections
OF his European tour, and in possession Of the
knowledge that, in the distant lands across the
seas, the American republic is honored aud

TIE TENAcITY OF TRUTH.-When ma
ton as clearheaded as the Americans once
become convinced, from long experience and
observation, that an article possesses superior
excellence as medicine, not all the prepos-
ferrous clamor of all the worthless nostrum
venders in the universe can shake their be-
lief in its efficiency. Truth is very tena-
cious thing, as these worthica are beginning
to discover. Plantation Bitters has too taken
firm hold upon the popular esteem to be IN
the slightest degre affected by the cold water
diatribes which the advertisers of fermented
slops, "without a particle of alcohol" are
so fond of launching against alcoholic pre-
parations. The public knows very well that
this peerless renovant and tonic does contain
spirits, but it also knows that they are OF
the purest and most wholesome description.
viz: fine old St. Croix, the most active and
beneficial diffuser of its remedial and invigor-
ating properties throug hout the system
which could possibly be adopted.

How WE USED TO BE PnYslcKED.-
Who does not remember the time when
snrinc purgation was considered indispcnsa-
he to summer health? No matter for wry
faces. the inevitable salts and SIENNA, rhubarb,
or calomel and jalap, must be administered
These "spring medicines" the youngsters
we're told. were to keep them hale and hearty
dur;nr the summer. We all know now that
this was aflacy; that nervforJ not Idcpler
ton is what il roqrniired at the ebnnence-
mcnt Of the summer solstice. As a prepara-
tion for the eacrvating effects of oppressive
summer weather, course Of Hostettcr's
Stomach Bitters is highly cxpedient. This
famous vegetable preparation has three
prominent properties: 1trenovates' purlhcs,
and regulates all the functions of the body.
Il is composed exclusively ofpure vegetable
productions, viz the essential principle of
Mononsahcla Rye, and the most efficacious
tonic aSd Alternative roots, barks, and gums
known to medical botanists. Hence, it is
an absolutely safe medicine. and no tine
ture of the Pharmacopeiar can compare With
it either in purity or IN the variety Of It's OBJ
iects and its comprehensive results. Hap
nilv for mankind, the theory that it was
necessary to PROSTATE patient in order to
cnre him. is forever exploded, and the true
philosophical doctrine, that yigor is one
great antagonist of disease; has taken its
nlace. Hostetter's Bitters is an invigorant,
and hence it is the proper medicine for the
feeble at this most trying season OF the
year.
Be sure that you OBTAIN the genuine
acticIc, as there are innumeaable eildl imita1
tions in the market. Look to the ornamen-
tai stamp, the engraved label, and the name
blown into the glass. Hostetter'S Stomach
Bittcrs is sold in bottles only.

Beneath its folds ye fought and fell

Forever DER our precious dead,

LECTURE BY Col. E. u. BoYKIN, NJ.
D-This distinguished gentleman has
consented to deliver lecture before Water
&c Division, No. 9, Sons of Temperance, on
the subject of h'en9crance Considered Ned
icalIy, on next Tuesday evening, at s o'clock
NJ, in Temperance Hall. The ladies and
friends interested in the subject are respect
fully invited to attend. Seats will be reser-
we'd for the guests of the Division. The Wa
teree Cornct Band, and an accomplished
choir are expected to assist on the occasion.
Mesrs. Geo Alden, Baum Bros, j. &T. I.
Jones, W. C. W.. Gerald, d. L. DcSaus-
sure g. Co, Charles Elias, Mrs Amelia Elias,
and E. J. Conaway, have returned from
Charleston, where they were heavily mulct-
ed. The charge against them was having in
possession tobacco illegally stamped, the
penalty for which is fine and Imprisonment,
but the Government compromised the cases.
In addition to the loss of the tobacco, the aft
air cost each one of them about two hundred
dollars except +. j. Conaway who got
off much lighter.
The tobacco was worth at least $4,000
Fines and costs of firms at
$500 each 100000
Include Mcssrs. Latham's Leon
ard 4 Chapln's losses, to-
bacco, fines and penalties. 100000
Add loss of time, individual eX-
penscs, hotel bills, railroad
fare&c., 10000
Making total of s4,5OO,00
This estimate is under, rather than over
the proper amount, but it shows how this
benign Government and its tools, swindc
the innocent people of the South; because
these things do not occur at the North.
We arc further informed that Coates, the
Deputy Marshal who came up and arrested
these gentlemen, obtained for that service
over thirty dollars from each one, which pays
splendidly.
The gentlemen are completely disgustcd
with the entire affair, and consider themselves
as having been made the victims ofunscrupu-
lous and depraved tools ofatyrannical Govern
ment.
These is one significant feature in the mat
ter. Mr.. E. j. Conaway, the only colored
man and Republican in the party, escaped
with fine Of only s25! Who can fail to
see the extreme partiality thus manifest
ed?
