is published. which speaks Of the horrors Of
the slavetrade of Eastern Africa, and gives
some novel information regarding the physi-
cal and mental superiority Of the negroes of
that region over those Of the West Coast, who
have been debased by bondage and the climate
to the inferior specimens of humanity who are
universally. regarded as the true type of an
African. He speaks: of men Of 6ne physique
and intellectual beads, and women who were
positively pretty, even to English eyes.

RG-In the French National Assembly on
Tuesday, M. Goulard, Minister of Finance,
announced the result of the subscriptions to
the new loan. He stated that the books
showed forty-one and half millions of francs
as the aggregate amount subscribed. The
government, he added, was overwhelmed with
surprise at the astonishing result, which
showed that The defeats France had suffered
were an expiration, not a sign of decadence.

The following expresses his opinion of car
pet baggers and the origin of Ku-Klux:
-"1he Republican party has spent all its
time and energy in. taking measures for what
they call the protection Of the black men in
the South. But what has it all amounted
TOT The only result of their labors has been
lot of carpet-baggers, who have gone far to
destroy every vestige OF good government in
the South. If they had just let the negroes
alone, and let them have the right to protect
themselves, there would never have been such
an organization as the Ku Klux heard Of"
The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad.
We bad the pleasure of ride from Wash
ington to Baltimore, on Saturday last, over
this road, and we were somewhat surprised
to find the road 10 such excellent condition
for travel. The road is built of the very best
material, and the cars roll along as smoothly
as cars on any of the old and we'll established
lines. The arrangements in Baltimore for
conveying passengers to the business portion
of the city is not yet complete, but still the
Inconvenience is not very great, as omnibuses
connect with street cars, only few squares
distant from the temporary depot on the out
shirts of the city. At the village of Hunting
ton we had a view of small portion of the
''main stem" leading from that place to Pope's
Greek. As far as we could see it appeared
to be in fine working order. We learn that
this portion of the road is expected to be rea-
dy for permanent use in the course Of q few
weeks.

The well-kpown colored lawyer, Robert
Morris. of Boston, in an interview held few
days ago with representative Of the Boston
Post, held the following language: F4 =,
II made up my mind long since that Hor-
ace Greeley was the man of all, others who
would look out for the best interest of the
colored people, and am firmly impressed with
that idea. have concluded to cast my vote
for him in November. regard it as the
best nomination that could have been made.
Mr.. Greeley has shown by his whole life that
he is capable, upright and honest man, and
that is the kind OF man we need at the head
Ofthe government. He has always stood by
the black man, and when think how he has
arisen from the humble condition of his boy
hood to his present proud position by his
own exertioDs, / cannot believe he is going
to be swayed from the path. which q con-

Household OF the Marquis de Noailles.

Household OF the Marquis de NOailles.
The London Sport says that the departure
of the new French ambassador to Washington
and of Nine. la Marquise de Noailes was
marked by display of magnifcence that re-
minds one of the grand missions of the time
of Louis XIV. The Marquis de Noailles is
attended by numerous and brilliant suite.
Not to mention the usual officials, it seems
that ten or twelve of the elite of the aristocracy
among whom are the most distinguished
names in France, have solicited the favor of
being allowed to accompany him as attaches
rolontaries. The household is composed of
thirty servants. AS for the Warehouses,
true Parisienne of exquisite taste, and whose
musical talents are justly appreciated in Par
isian circles, she will evidently create sensa-
ton. More than thirty trunks packed in
Paris contain the wonders of the newest fash
ions, represented by sixty dresses of different
styles from Worthless "atelier." It's needless
to mention the horses and carriages sent to the
same destination they are known to all Paris.

hold Magazine two beautifully tinted Crayon
pictures representing the heads of little boy
and girl, and "Our Hope and "Our Joy' are
just the names for the dear, bright, happy lit

them at 81, but they are now offered with
Woods Magazine for one year at only 81 so.
They are to be introduced by agents, who are
allowed handsome commission on this price,
which makes most desirable business for can
vassers. While the Magazine alone is richly
worth the money, the pictures are charming,
and must be seen to be appreciated. For full

memorable words
':To BE WEAK is MISERABLE"
Never was a truer sentence written than this
supposed to be wrung from the Arch-6end
in his impotence and agony. Every victim of
nervous debility, or of that depressing languor
which is one of the accompaniment of dyspep-
STA and biliousness, can testify to the misery of
mind and body which they involve. The mo-
the mind is haunted by anxiety and fear; and
the sufferer is as incapable of applying himself
energetically to any kind of business as if it
were under the benumbing influence of cata-
lepsy. This terrible mental and physical con-
dition need not, however, be endured for for
ty-eight hours by any human being. Planta-
ton Bitters is an absolute specific for all tor
ments which deranged stomach, disordered
liver, and shattered nerves. superinduce.

A PerilOus Season.

Glorious and lightful as the Summer wealth
or is, its tropical heat is a severe trial to the
vital powers. Even the strongest are some
times Frustrated by it's effects. The common
phrase applied to this condition of the body is
general debility" Now, general debility a
rises from, and includes variety of ailments.
The liver is more or less affected, the bowels
are either constipated or too much relaxed, the
stomach but half performs the work of diges-
ton, the appetite is poor, and the spirits de-
pressed. This is what is called general debili-
ty. 1t is general disarrangement of all the
physical functions and requires as a remedy
medicine that will regulate them all. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is specially adapted to
this purpose. Its general operation is not con-
fined to a single organ. If the liver is affected
it restores it's tone. If the stomach is torpid it
regenerates it. If 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 diff
Guilty and soon brings the whole mechanism of
the body into harmony with the laws of health.
There is no civilized nation in the Western
Hemisphere in which the utility of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as a tonic corrective, and an
ti-bilious medicine, is not known and appreci-
ated. Throughout the Tropics it is consider
ed, both by the people and the profession, the
standard specific. While it is a medicine for
all seasons and all climates, it is especially suit
ed to the complaints generated by the weather
being the purest and best vegetable stimulant
in the world
Beware of the Bitters made of acrid and dan
gerous materials, which INSCRIPTIONS parties
are endeavoring to foist upon the people. Their
name is legion, and the public has no guaran-
tee that they are not poisonous. Adhere to
the tried remedy, Hostetter's Bitters, sold only
in glass, and never in kegs or barrels.

RGIn the course of long and somewhat
controversial political career Mr.. Greeley has
made some personal enemies, especially among
journalists of his own party. 1t is gall and
NORWOOD to these people, at this time, to see
the object of their ancient hatred occupy the
exalted position which he now does before the
American people, with the almost certain re-
suit that he will be advanced to the highest
position in the gift of his countrymen. These
envious men are the most malignant detrac-
tors of Mr.. Greeley, and in the minds of those
who are aware of the jealousy and spleen
which consume them their condition is really
pitiable. There is nothing revengeful in Mr..
Greeley's nature; but if there were, he could
ask no greater revenge upon these people,
tortured as they are with baffled hate, than
to see them devoured by their own unhappy
spirit of envy at the success of the man whom
they vainly malign.

The Right Talk.

Senator Hendricks delivered his first cam
paign speech at indianapolis on Saturday.
He was listened to with deep interest by a
large audience. The eloquent Senator declar-
ed that, since the decision at Cincinnati and
Baltimore, there are but two sides to the con-
test, and that Democrats must be with the
movement for reform, or aid in continuing the
present corrupt Administration in power
Mr.. Hendricks paid high compliment to
Mr.. Greeley's ability and honesty, and also
complimented Mr.. Brown on his administra-
ton in Missouri. Referring to the objections
on the part of some Democrats to Mr.. Gree
ley because of his lifelong opposition to their
party, Mr.. Hendricks asked if the Demo-
Gratis had not in turn abused Mr.. Greeley,
and if the account is not about square between
them. What Mr.. Brown, Senator Schurz,
and their political associates had accomplish
ed in Missouri, he desired to see in all the
States. Mr.. Greeley, in approving the Gin
cinnati platform, had agreed to fair, safe
and honorable adjustment of the tariff, Dues
