culations which, IL not correct, are at least
very plausible. A committee appointed at
recent meeting in ST. Louis of officers and
managers of narrow gauge roads, has report
ell with much detail. 1t is claimed that in
mountainous country the cost of constructing
a three-foot gauge road will not be more than
one-fifh as great as that of read like the
Erie; that in ordinarily billy country the cost
will be about one-half; and over the prairies
about three-fiths. AS to the cost of operat-
ing, the committee gives variety of tables
showing great saving Of unproductive
weight in both passenger and freight business
on the narrow gauge. The committee does
not trust to theory alone. The experience of
many companies in the construction and op-
Grafton of these roads is appealed to and
quoted. 1t may be that even these managers
have exaggerated slightly, but after so much
positive evidence it will be impossible to con-
tend that there is no advantage in the narrow
er gauge. The committee recommends three
feet as the standard narrow gauge.

Revolutions Never Go Backward.

The philosophical theory that the human system
when weakened by disease, oppressive heat ex'
cessive labor or any other cause, should be toned
and invigorated instead of being subjected to the
action Of depicting drugs, is gaining ground every
day. The Introduction of Hostttters stomach
Bitters twenty years ago gave a powerful influence
to this common sense idea As the extraordinary
efficacy of the Great Vegetable Restorative became
known. multitudes of debilitated invalds turned
with loathing from the nauseous and strength-des-
troying potions with which it was then the fashion
to drench the sick, to this renovatng appetizng,
vitalzing preparation derived from the finest roots,
herbs and barks placed by botanical research at
the disposal OF medical science. Revolutions never
go backward. From that time to the present the
importance of assisting and reinforcing nature in
her struggles with disease has been more and more
widely and lseeny appreciated by the sick and the
suffering. In tens of thousands of households
Hostetter's Bitters are looked upon as the one
thing need nj in cases of Dyspepsia, General De-
hiity, Constipation, Nervous Weakness, Chills and
Fever Bilious Affections and all conditions OF the
body and mind that betoken lack of vital energy
When the quicksilver ranges high, and the solid
temperature this agreeable tonic is the best pos
sbe safeguard against all the disorders generated
by a sultry aud unwhoesOme atmosphere. IL pre-
vents and relieves lassitude and languor, and en-
ablrs the system t. endure with impunity an un
usual am mt of eXertion. OF all invigorating and
| regulating medicines it is the purest and most
wholesome.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington 21.-The treasury department
has issued regulations IN accordance with the
act Of June 9Th, last, providing that imported
salt entered for warehouse in bond, may be
withdrawn TO be used on shore within the linn
its of the United States in curing fish taken
or to be taken by vessels licensed to engage
in the fisheriers. Salt withdrawn and measur-
cd may be entered for re-warehouse and for
re-warehouse and consumption under the
usual regulations. If it is desired to use the
salt in curing fish in any other district than
that in which it is warehoused in bond. il
must be shipped in bond under the usual
transportation entry. Salt brought back from
a fishing voyage, either to the port of with
drawal or to any other port shall be entered
for re-warehousing, and il designed to be used
in curing fish on shore, the same proceedings
will be had as authorized by the regulations.
The case Of the privateer Pioneer will be
decided in a few days, all official papers con-
corning it having been received at the treas

The Tenacity OF Truth When a nation
as clear headed as the Americans once be-
come convinced, from long experience and
observation, that an article possesses superior
excellence as medicine, not all the pre-
posterous clamor of all the worthless nostrum
vendors in the universe can shake their belief
in its efficiency. Truth is very tenacious
thing, these worthless are beginning to dis
cover. PLANTATION BITTERs has too firm
hold upon the popular esteem to be in the
slightest degree effected by the cold water
diatrbes which the advertisers of fermented
slops, without particle of alcohol" are so
fond of launching against alcoholic prepare
tons. 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 ben
e cial ditfuser of its remedial and inyigor-
ating properties throughout the system which
could possibly be adopted.

Portland, q. A despatch from Captain
Loyle to-day says We have tried faithfully
with three steamers to get the New England

the conclusion that nothing can be done this

morrow and employ diver to see if possible
what holds the steamer. The diver will be

publishes his thanks to the passengers for
their aid and GOODNESS, and says that from
the commencement OF thick fog he personally
saw that the course was correct and properly
steered, and attributes the accident wholly to
unusual direction of the tides.

one who has taken very active part in the
temperance reform movement and who has
declared that he shall support Mr.. Greeley in
November on the ground that he is temper
ance man, refused to be present at a meeting
Of the Reform Club, because the Hon. Joshua
Nye was made Vice President of the Grant
Club in this city, and TIM too, without even
pretending that temperance had in any way
been mixed up with politics. 1t is proper to
say here, that the gentleman has been lie
long and rather garrulous democrat; but one
who has required frequent use of the check
rein to keep him in the traces. Query:
Should the gentleman be made Vice President
of a Greeley Club, would Mr.. Nye refuse to
attend the meetings of the Reform Club on
that account?
