THE DRATH OF THE STRANGKR-THK
CoRoNER's lNQU EsT.-The name Of the
stranger who died suddenly yesterday
morning, at the White Horse Hotel, 10
Field whose home was near North East,
Maryland. lie WAS only ! ) years old, and
was an apprentice to the carpcntering
trade On Tuesday afternoon he borrowed
a horse from ilieud near home, stating
that he would return him In about two
hours Not coming back, the man wrote
to Fields brother, who works in this city,
giving him an account Of the affair. The
letter arrived about the time his brother
heard of the death, and he went 10 the
White Horse and identified the corpse.
The Coroner held an inquest on the
body yesterday afternoon. There was
found upon the person of the deceased two
packages of poison, one of which had
been opened, leading many TO believe that
his death was brought about by himself,
but the Coroucr's jury, in the face Of
these facts, returned verdict that the
deceased came to his death from causes
unknown to them. Such verdicts as
these are Incoming entirely too common,
and ms long rs there are physicians
in town able 10 determine hey md
doubt the cause of death in any case,
"a verdict similar to the one given In this
case.should be unknown. for the Coroner's
inquest is worth nothing al all unless the
cause OF death is fully stated. That this
unfortunate man committed suicide there
is scarcely room for reasonable doubt,
vet the public are told that he died from
causes unknown to the jury, aud perhaps
this is all our people will ever know about
il. Il is to be hoped that this il the last
Of vague vrrdicts M such cases.
The remains of the young man have

Spring Cleaning.
BY A SUFFERER.

The melancholy days have come, the sad
dest of the year,
OF cleaning paint and scrubbing floors and
securing far and near;
Heaped in the corner of the room the ancl-
ent dirt lay quiet;
Nor rose up at the fathers tread, nor to the
children's riot;
But now the carpets all are up, and from
the staircase top,
The mistress calls to man and maid to
WELD the broom and mop.
Where are those rooms, those quiet rooms,
the house but now presented,
Wherein we dwelt, nor dreamed of dirt, so
cosy and contented?
Alas they're turned all upside down, that
quiet suite of rooms,
With Stops, and suds, and soap, and sand,
and tubs, and pals, and brooms,
Chairs, tables, stands are standing round
at skies and at Sevens,
While wife and housemaids fly about, like
meteors through the heavens.
The parlor and the chamber floors were
cleaned a week ago,
The carpets shook, the windows washed,
as all the neighbors know;
But still the sanctum had escaped, the
table piled with books,
Pens, ink and paper all about, peace IN It's
very looks;
Till fell the women on them all, as falls the
plague on men,,
papers, ink and pen.
And now, when comes the master home, as
come he must of nights,
To find all things arc "set to wrongs" that
they have |'Set to rights"
When the sound of driving tacks is heard
tho the house is far from still,
And the carpet wOman'S on the stairs, that
harbinger of i'll,
He looks for papers, books or bills, that all
were there before,
And signs to find them on the desk, or in
the drawer no more.
And then he grimly thinks of her, who set
this fuss afloat,
And wishes she wore out at sea, in a very
leaky boat;
He meets her at the parlOr door, with hair
and cap awry,
With sleeves tucked up and broom in
hand, defiance in her eye;
lie feels quite small, and knows full well
there's nothing to be said,
SO holds his tongue, and drinks his tea,
and snnalSS aMaN to bed.

sell and dispose of the arms and ordn-
ance stores in question, and that in doing
so he violated neither letter nor the
spirit of the law.
Second-That the proceeds OF the
sale were promptly paid into the treas
ury.
Third-That no sales were made TO
any known agent of either OF the bel
ligerent governments, and that no act
was done by the Secretary of War or
any of his subordinates that was calcu-
lated to impair or violate any interna-
tional obligation.
Fourth-That no official of the Unit
ed States government was pecuniarly
benefited in connection with the sales.
Fifth-That the only party benefited
was the government of the United
States. in having disposed of unsuitable
arms at the highest market price, to the
amount of nearly ten millions OF dol
lars. ads H
The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the river and harbor i'm
provement bill. The bill was passed
with but a few unimportant amend
ments. Mr.. Hancock introduced bill
for the appointment by the President OF
three commissioners, at a salary OF $40
per day each, to inquire into the depre-
dations on the frontiers of Texas by
bands of Indians and MeXicans, and ap-
propriating $4,000 for the expense OF
the commission. The bill was passed
and the House adjourned.

Rank and Population of States.

The changes in positions of States at
the beginning of successive decades, de-
velope some interesting facts as to their
relative growth in population. The first
three, New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, have kept their respective stations
without change for twenty years, but
Illinois promises to change places with
Ohio before the next national census.
Iowa has advanced in relative rank fas-
ter than any other State, and next comes
Illinois, Missouri and Michigan Iowa,
which was not State in 1880 has gained
sixteen places in twenty years. Illinois
and Missouri have each risen the same
number since 1880 and Michigan has
gained thirteen in the same time. The
New England States have all fallen off
except Massachusetts,.
The following table based on the lat
est and some preceding censuses, shows
these facts and was recently published in
the New York Evening Post

A COMPLIMENT TO SENATOR MORRILL,.
The people of Vermont take pride in
the success of their public men, wheth-
er in the State or at the Capital of the
nation; and therefore will be gratifed
to learn what the Springfield Republican
says of a recent speech of Senator Nor
rill 1t says: mo sounder, more SEN
sible or more effective speech has been
heard in Congress for many a day Ethan
the one which Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont
pronounced in thu Senate on Friday,
upon the contested North Carolina Sen
atorship. Mr. Matt Carpenter, who fig
ures in this affair as the volunteer I'M
paid attorney of the military gentleman,
by the name of Abbott, now trying to
steal seat, had just delivered one of
his brilliant legal arguments, and Mr..
Morrill, replied TO him. We hear some
times of crushing replies. This is one
that sort. The NermonterS logic is as
good as his sarcasm, and throughout the
speech there breathes an honest con-
tempt for the knavish project he is fight
ing, which is thoroughly wholesome and
bracing to the moral sense. 1t is plain
enough now that this project is dead,
and Mr. Morrill, can justly claim that he
was in at the death. >"

DISEASED DIGESTION.

If chronic indigestion affected the stOm-
ach only it might be more easily borne
but it gives rise, inevitably. to many other
diseases affecting the liver, the nerves. the
bowels and the brain. Biliousness, ner-
vous tremors, constipation, headache and
terrible mental disturbances are among
its usual Accomplishments. In fact, every
organ, every fibre of the frame sympa-
thizes with the debilitated and diseased
stomach. What is needed in such a case ?
Clearly an Alternative and invigorant: and
among medicines of that class HostetUer's
stomach Bitters is, beyond all comparison
or estimate, the best. Mere purgativcs
only deprive the system of the little
strength that disease has left it. Salivants
have the same effects. The whole internal
organism has gone wrong. and can only
be put right and kept right by a medicine
in which the tonic and stimulating ele-
ments predominant, but are qualified and
modified by anti-biliOus aperients and
blOOd-parifying cOmponents. Now, the
truth is and the medical faculty as well as
the public know the fact. that Hostetter's
Bltters contain every ingredient requisite
for the cure of dyspepsia and all the all
ments of body and mind which it involves.
This has beeen proved in so many thou
sands of instances that it seems almost
idle to repeat the statement.
The great tonic rallies exhausted nature.
from whatever cause enfeebled, and per-
manently recruits the vigor of the nerves.
the muscles and the brain. Its effects upon
the brain is to give strength to the viii
and precision to the judgment, and TO ban
pose which generally accompanies bodily
weakness.

General Howard and the Indians.

We have doubt if the brave soldier,
Gen. Howard, will be as successful as
he imagines in his talks with the wan
dering robbers of the Western plains
the Indians. He telegraphs, however,
from Arizona City that he has arranged
meeting with the Yumas and other
friendly tribes, and is hopeful of good
results therefrom. We apprehend this
conference will end like all previous
ones, in stereotyped promises to abstain
from depredations upon their white
brethren. They viii be thankful as us
ual for government supplies, and when
the eatables have been consumed, they
will resume their annoying practices of
foraging upon white men, overcoming
and surprising them as usual. The red
men have never been remarkable for
their truth or regard for their promises
to the white men, their natural enemies.
They ever have and ever will consider
the white men as the great cause of the
red mans misfortunes, and whatever
they procure from their foes consider
it as the legitimate spoils of war
We do not believe that it will serve any
useful purpose to hold councils or bride
them, until they can be induced to give
up their nomadic life and adopt the hab-
Its of civilization. AS soon as spring
closes and the plains are covered with
verdure, and failing to find sufficient
game, they will prey on the whites.
This is the same old story, and we pre-
dict that Gen. Towards big talk with
the Indians will end in smoke, such as
rises from the red mans gun aimed at
the white men of the plains.

that from Eve he received his upright
position, his polish and spirituality.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common that
1t Is almost impossible for an editor to ex-
press his opinion ofthe merit of any article
without being suspected OF interested mo-
tives. This, fact, however shall not deter
us from saying what we think of a new ad-
ditiOn to the materia medica to which our
attention has been recently directed. We
refer tO!Dr.J. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters, remedy which is making its way
into more families justnow than all other
advertised medicines put together. There
seems to be no question about the poten-
cy of its tonic and Alternative properties,
while If it possesses the great negative rec
ommendation of containing neither al
cohol nor mineral poison. That il is a spe-
cifc for indigestion, billiousness. constipa-
ton and many complaints ofa nervous orr
gin, we have reason to know; and we are
assured on good authority that as a gener-
al 1nvigorant, regulating and purifying
medicine, it has no equal. 1t is stated that
its ingredients tobtaiRed from the wilds of
California;, are new to the medical world.
and its extraordinary effects certainly
warrant the conclusion that il is n com
pound of agents hitherto unknown If NON
ularlty Is any criterion, there can be no
doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar
Bltters, for the sale of the article Is i'm
lnense and continually increasing. A4w4
