Periodic Disorders.

The paroIysmal maladies which are characterized
by heat and cold, prevail extensively at this season.
and is curious fact that in many parts Of the coun
try where they prevalent other diseases that bear
general resemblance to fever and ague or remittent
fever, assume periodic type. Thus in many sections
infested with ehls and feVer rheumatism, neuralgia
hystera, diarrh@a, DC, sometimes become ntermit-
tent thereby indicating that they have been engender
ed by the same poisonous exhalations which produce
the first named disease.
In all these masked of ague-for such they are
well in the regular intermttents, the most cafe
and reliable remedy that can be administered is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters Neither quinine nor arsenic
are needed. Both in the highest degree dangerous
and to leave sad traces Of their poisonous
ton in the system whether they arrest the paroxysms
not In many instances all the socallcd specifies of
the regular materia medica utterly fail to break
up" intermittent and remittent disorders But the
great vegetable Tonic never fails. The spasm of the
minute blood vessels which causes the chill is the re-
suit OF nervous eakness produced by the debtating
operation OF an unwhoesome atmosphere and the tone
and vgor given to the system by the Biters enable it
to throw oil the disease. The wiser policy, however
to anticipate attacks of this nature by arousng all the
latent energies Of the body at the commencement of
the moist and chilly season, with this Incompatible
antldOte BY pursuing this course, intermittents re-
mlttents, rheumatism, collie bousneSs dyspepsia and
pulmonary affections may always be prevented.

THE RICHMOND EDITORS,

Virginia has been the scene of more
square fights between newspaper men
than almost any other State in the Union.
A pair of duelling pistols are just as neees-
sary for an editorial outfit there as types,
inks or other printing material. In Rich
mond, especially, they have managed to
keep things lively, and the first fam
lilies" have come to look upon an editorial
melee as an institution peculiar to the
sacred SOIL" The good old days of yore
seem to be returning. During the past
week, as was statedin our dispatches, the ed
itors of the Enquirer and Wing thirsted for
each others blood and took up arms. The
cause of the unpleasantness was charge
from the Wing man that the Enquirer was
the hired organ of the Pennsylvania Cen
trail Railroad. The latter retorted and
charged that the Wig had not only been
the paid organ of that Company last WIN
ter, but was now under the pay of General
VIM. Malone. This put the question at
issue, and the next thing was pistols and
coffee for two" The Chief of Police came
to their relief, and a timely arrest saved
their valuable lives, and restored them to
the bosom of their families, clothed and
in their right minds.

RECKLESS CHARGES.

Certain Democratic politicians act as if
they think the American people nation
of fools. They persist i'll publishing the
most reckless falsehoods about General
Grants Administration, when any man
who understands anything about figures,
can demonstrate their falsity in few
minutes, by referring to the oft published
reports of our national finances. It seems
to be the fixed policy of the more reckless
portion Of the Democratic press, to send
out false statements about discrepancies
existing between the accounts kept by
officers in the several departments of the
Government, Every enc of these state
ments have been disproven to the salts
faction of any fair-minded, unprecedented
man, who has sense enough to discrimi-
nate between truth and falsehood. The
people very naturally conclude that the
payment of S2S7, 100000 of the public debt
in thirty-five months, with taxes reduced
by each succeeding Congress, does not show
bungling or careless business on the part of
those having the public finances in charge.
During the first fifteen months of General
Grants administration S67 600, 600 mOre was
collected with the same tax, than during
the preceding fifteen months under John
sons administration. This does not show
that business was transacted in q loose or
bungling manner. These charges are
made for political effect and are without
even the semblance of truth.

Samuel Lee, Professor of Hebrew at
the University at Cambridge, England,
was seventeen years of age before he
conceived the idea OF learning foreign
language. Out Of the scanty pittanee
of his weekly earnings as a carpenter he
purchased book, and when this was
read he exchanged it for another, and
thus he advanced in knowledge. He
had not even the privilege Of balancing
between reading and relaxation, but was
Obliged to pass directly from bodily
fatigue to mental exertion. During the
six years previous to his twenty-hfth
year he omitted none of the hours usu.
ally appropriated to manual labor and
he retired to rest regularly after o clock
in the evening, and yet at the age OF
thirty.one years he had actually taught
seventeen languages. This illustrates
that, where there's will, there's a
way,"

DUTY OF THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

A correspondent Of the Nashville
Banner submits tive propositions to the
next legislature:
LIST. Ecery child, male and female, on
the American continent should be taught
at the expense of the State how to spell,
read, write and cipher thoroughly and
correctly. In order to do this the State
ought to supply teachers, books, states,
pens, pencils, paper and ink. The books
once agreed on should never be changed,
and every school in the United States
should be supplied with them.
I'd. Parents and guardians should be
required by lao to send every child to
school between the age OF ten and
eighteen long enough to master the
above studies. Let this system be uni
form in erery county.
With this foundation of an education
they are prepared to fulfill every duty
devolving on good citizens.
This system would not cost one'fourth
of the present injurious and inefficient
plan. There would never be any diff
Guilty in procuring competent and
humane teachers in every neighborhood.
By the proposed plan the State would
perform its duty, and we would have an
educated population.
Leave off politics, gentlemen, take a
common sense, practical view of this, by
a long odds, the most vital subject you
have to deal with.

the blessings of ignorance as we have
been doing. The Northwest, that was a
bowling wilderness when Tennessee was
an old State, continues to attract emil
grafton for this single reason, and so
long as we continue in our absurd course
we may expectto keep behind.
The truth as we'll may be told now as
Mt apy time. Ourlegislatures have been
governed by n spirit of demagoguery.
It's members have been guided in their
course by an idea that it was unpopular
TO vote for law that taxed every one to
support a common school system. They
were afraid that they might not get back
again if they did. They were afraid, in
a word, to do their duty, and voted to
co<Dinue while longer in our State sys-
tenn Of encouraging ignorance. Now is
the time to make new start, and we
urge upon the members Of the new Leg
islature to signalize their term OF service
BY the Inauguration of liberal system
OF free schools in Tennessee. Let them
take the bit in their mouths for once, and
90 right ahead. They may have to encoun-
ter opposition; some OF them may not be
able to get back in their seats IN sue
ceeding Legislature; but it will not be
great while before those who aided in
the establishment of free school sys-
tenn of education for Tennessee will be
doubly honored for their wisdom. Let
them redeem our State from her humil-
iating position as second in ignorance.
Then we can have the face to invite
strangers to come within our borders
and make Tennessee their home, and
build us up to the rank that we are by
nature entitled to. We conjure them to
take this step; it is the only path to
prosperity and wealth, and so long as
we continue in our old course we may
expect to get deeper in the depths of ig,
norance. Who knows but we may yet
become barbaric, for after North Caro-
lima and Tennessee are there many
more steps to barbarism?

MEMPHIS AND v1cKsBuRe RAILROAD.

The following facts of interest con-
corning the Memphis aud Vicksburg
railroad are CLEANED from lengthy arti-
Gle in the Vicksburg Herald of the Ith
instant. The heaviest portion of the
swamp line extending from the Yazoo
river to Deer creek has been almost fully
graded. This is a distance of three
miles, on which are erected over twelve
hundred feet Of trestle-work, averaging
fourteen feet in hight, and there are
placed on the line of the embankment
ten thousand eross-ties. The remaining
portion of the line, fOr a distance OF
twelve miles from Yazoo river. has been
graded in sections, as they were taken
by the sub.contractors. The heaviest
work has been completed, including one
hundred and fifty thousand yards Of
embankment, eight miles of clearing, two
hundred yards wide, in dense timber and
cane, and high trestling. The balance
Of the line, for one hundred miles, will
require but light grading and little clear
ing, as it will pass through large cotton
fields on Little and Big Deer creek, in
Issaquena and Washington counties.
Work will be pushed forward in few
weeks, and the grading and cross-tieing
done to Rolling Fork at once. 1t is Rs-
serted that the Memphis aud Yieksburg
railroad is on a substantial footing. and
that it will be completed within rea,
sonable time.
