Old Things ngyysgH Have Passed. Away.

: This is at least true of the old raethod
of treating the long abused and much
abused human body. It is no longer
considered wise to put a'patient to.the
torture in order to cure him 81 a disease
in which pain is already undermining
the energies of his system. True science
ranges itself on the side Of nature, and
endeavors to assist her in her fightagainst
disease. This is the province of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the most approved
tonic everadvertissd in this country. 1t
may be recommended as fall medicine,
par excellence; for is in the fall that
bilfousness, dyspepsia and malarious .fe-
vers are especially prevalent. The frame,
exhausted by the heats of summer, isre-
laxed apit feeble at its close; ;,andreqnirss,
,gamay say:dawaae rtifcial assistance.
Afford itsthat assistance lin occasional
doses Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
the evils referred to may be escaped.
Throughout the far West, and on the
81 scanning alluvial of the Southern rivers,
al the varieties of periodical fever are
probably rife to-day. Had a course of
Eostetter's Bitters been commenced by
the sufferers a.month ago, I. e., before
the unhealthy season set in, SeveD-eights
OF them would in all probability be in
their usual health at the present time.
SO much for want OF forecaste. So much
for not keeping in the house, and using
daily, the best safeguard against epidem-
ic and endemic fevers.
AS tlocks OF impostors and. imitators
are trying to follow in,the wake of the
sfe ses that af:aq he sss Is%eab BUY genuine 1s
and verified by the proper trademarks.
The true article can only be obtained in
bottles. Beware of the spurious bitters
sold by the gallon or in keg..

TIE Girl Who Wins.

The time has passed away when
women must be pale and delicate tc
be called interesting when she must
be totally ignorant of all practlca!
knowledge to be called refined and
high-bred-when she must know
nothing of the current political news
of the day, or be called masculine
and strong-minded.
1t is not. a sign, of high birth. OF
re6nement.t to be sickly and ignorant
Those who affect anything OF the kind
are behind the times, and must shake
up and air themselves mentally and
physically, or drop under the firm
strides Of common-sense ideas, and
be crushed into utter insignifcance.
In these days an active, Irosy=faced
girl, with brain quick and clear
warm, Light heart, a:tempertqnickly
heated at intended insulttor injury,
and just as quick to forgive; WHOSE
feet can run almost as fast as her
ton5ue,and'uut put.her. out Of breath;
who is. not afraid of freckles. or to
breathe the pure air of heaven, un-
restrained by the drawn curtains Of a
close carriage; ard, above all, who
can speak her mind and give an opihi-
on on important topics which interest
intelligent people, is the true girl
who Will make good woman. :
This IS the girl Who wins In these
days. Even fops and dandies who
strongly oppose women's rights, like e
a woman who can. talk well, even ii
she be not handsome. They weary
of the most beautiful creature if she
is not smart. They say, cav yeas,
she is beauty, and no mistake, but
she wont do for me-lacks, brains.'
Of which commodity it would seem
she could have little. use in her asso-
citation with him however, tc please
even an empty-headed fop, a woman
must know something.

Amen.

In The south Of ;Eaw Jersey, some
years ago, there travelled over some
Of the hardest counties, a good faith
tu', and hard working brother, named
James NJ oore, or :" Jimmy Moore,'sas
he was devoted to the itinerancy. A
true, loyal Methodist, plain, pointed
and sharp in all his preaehings and
exhortatiops. He had been laboring
a year on one of his circuits, and be-
fore leaving for his new field, he gave
lliO people, who dearly loved him, MS
farewell sermon.
AT it's close he said /: My dear
brethren, this is my last address to
you. I am going from yoa, and you
may never hear the voice OF James
Moore again" ,'f
Amen - came loudly from. the
seat before him.
He looked at the man with q little
surprise, but thinking it was q mis-
take, he went on.
AMY days on earth will soon be
numbered, / am an Old. man, and
You II: may not only" never hear the
voice of James Moore, but never see
his face again z @

man. He knew him to be . hard,

have done your duty. who have hon.
ored him with your substance, who
have been kind to. the poor" pausing
and looking the intruder. straight in
tie eye, and, pointing to him with
his finger. May his curse rest on
ttoae Who have cheated the Lord and
ground the poor under his. heels, Say

It Is to be hoped that the Senate will reject
the land grab bill which passed the House Of
Representatives last week. II is simply a
swindle OF the largest kind, a bare-faced at
tempt by ring Of land spectators to steal
eighty or one hundred million acres Of the
public lands under the guise Of patriotism and
love for the soldier and sailor of the late war.
As the law stands now, any soldier or soldiers
child or widow eau obtain homestead on the
easiest and simplest terms, and there is no
necessity whatever for the passage of the bill
which went through the House with so much
ease. II II should become a law 1t will
simply transfer an immense extent Of terri
tory to gang of land sharks at comparative
ly trihing cost, or no cost at all. 1t should
be entitled an act TO legallze the stealing of
the public domain. II the Senate will not
do Its duty in the matter by killing It, the
President should promptly veto II.

The speech Of Gen. Chapman In the House
on Saturday, synopsis Of which we print In
other columns this morning, will, 1t is to be
hoped, serve TO dispel many erroneous ideas
in regard TO this District and Its relations to
the General Government. 1t was an excellent
buslness-like statement Of the present and
past condition of Washington, and the facts
and figures contained in 1t are specially COM
mended TO Congress, as well as to our own citi-
zens who desire to be informed on the subject
The total liabilities Of the Board of Public
Works TO December6, 1872, were 60, 400, SO. 81
The General Government is indebted to this city
in the sum Of 81, al, .92 for improvements
around the public property, a bill to pay
which is now before the House, and will, we
have no doubt, on account Of lis eminent jus
tice, be passed.
The people Of the country have an idea
that the Government has done everything for
Washington; that we have never contributed
In the least degree to build up the capital.
An examination Of some of the statistics
given In Mr.. Chipmans speech shows how
false and wrong the impression Ia. The pub.
lie records prove that since lsn2 the moneys
expended here by the Government in the i'm.
provement Of streets, &c. have been 81, 32l :,
1881, while during the same period the city
has spent 1891, 7G7lS, or only ninety per
rent. The fact is, no capital In the world has
cost Its country less than WashingtOn has
cost the United States.

MIR. sNAPP ON CIVIL SERVICE RE.
FORM.


The Hon. Mr.. snRpp, Of Illinois, hurled his
4hunderbolt against civll service reform, In
the House, on Saturday. lie made genuine
sensation, and snapped and snarled In way
chat was truly wonderful. To he sure there
was not much sense or argument In all that
he said, but then there was an immense amount
Of snApp in 1t, which, perhaps, compensated
for the lack Of more substantial elements.
The hSnOrable and learned gentleman from
the Sucker State denounced the report Of the
civil service commission as "lnfamouR,' the
work mainly of editors, who, In the opinion
Of Mr.. Snapp, cannot be supposed to know much
about anything. And then he threw down the
gauge with snap and defiance that was truly
Ftartiing. Horace White and Joe Medlll,
George William Curtlss and ''wOuld-be
famous correspondents, " had all aSsailed and
denounced him a year ago when he stood
upon his high prerogatives and protested
against being gagged" but Notwithstanding
all their mendacity he again arose in the
pride and power Of his manhood, despite all
their puerile efforts to put him down and
gag him"
Mr.. snRpp spoke for the great and almighty
Northwest, the Northwest that had given the
country and the world "a Logan, a Sherman,
a Grant" and, mOde5ty forbade him TO say
II, "a snApp." He pointed with pride TO the
fact that he had dealt the first blow at the
'humbug" Of civil service reform; that Mr.
Carpenter followed his lead In the Senate "r
n speech which has never been answered, and
mover can be-" that Mr., Bingham
meekly followed In his footsteps and mailed
the huge Islander to the mast In matches
speech" 'dealt the dlsgraceful proposition
such blow with his battle axe that made Il
stagRer and fall, TO rise no more, II Is to b.
presumed, In this day RHd age Of liberty,
Mr.. snapp was Awfully severe upon Mr.. VII
lard. OF Vermont, and Mr.. Finkslnburg, o
Missouri who had voted TO he gagged I
wear ago, and who must have certainl!
felt ike getting away Into their boot
from the terrible torrent Of his sarcasm

of the West, that II the civil service rules ar
