TIE POLITICAL CAULDRoN.-Thc
political caullron is in q fcrcc state
ebulition at the Capitol, as is seen in
the number Of nominating conven
tons, with
"DlaclS spirits and white, .
Red spirits and gray"
which have been holding their daily
sessions, and putting forth their plat
forms and candidates. Where there
is so much commotion in the political
sky-so much storm and lightning
it is to be hoped, tbatth atmosphere
will be purified, and tho pcstilcntial
vapors be dispersed. We publish
pretty full reports, to enable onr read,
ers to form their conclusions. The
Moses Convention makes fair promi'
ses, but what can be hoped from men
whose past record belio their promi-
scs? The Orr movement enters the
canvass apparently with strong hopes,
and appeals confidently to the sym,
pathy and support of all who desire
honest Government and truo reform
We shall wait Developments.

Re on the Safe side.

We hold health and life by frail tenure, and not
to protect them to the best of our ability would
seem to argue deficiency of common sense. The
searching winds and cold rains OF spring. the tropic
heat of summer, the malarious vapors of autumn,
and the paralyzing temperature of winter, are all
inimical to those finely adjusted and sensitive
pieces of mechanism we call our bodies. Each
season has its peculiar perils and the fall is per-
haps as prolific of dangerous disorders az any of
them; for at this season fevers and bowel COM
plants are very apt to take epidemic form. AS
preventive of this class of diseases, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters cannot be too warmly recommend
ed In it are combined five essential medical prop
critics. 1t is tonic. at once powerful and whole
some-a stimulant, pure and undefiled-an aperient
mild aud painless-an bilious agent of marvel
GUS efficacy, and a general regulating medicine
without an equal in the pharmaccp9ia. These five
distinct properties, operating together in perfect
harmony, produce condition of the system some
what analogous to that brought about by course of
pugilistic training. In other words, as jndicious
physical training hardens the flesh and renders it
comparatively fstproof, does this marvellous in
vgorant increase the capabty of the organs of the
body to resist the indirect and insidious as
saults of disease. 1t imparts new elasticity and
strength to the vital machinery, and those who
as preventive of intermittent fever, dysentery
diarrhoa, dyspepsia, rheumatism, and other all
ments common at this season, may walk fearless
through an atmosphere impregnated with the NOR
bid clements which give rise to those maadies.

Acting Secretary Richardson says
that the use of the $4,000, 900 green
back reserve was caused chiefly by the
rapid redemption of 3 per cent. cert1fi-
Gates during the last few months, of
which there has been called in about
$40, 100000 leavin 6 only about $5,-
000,00 yet outstanding. 1t is the in
tention of the Secretary to reduce
within the next two weeks the currency
to the lowest limit authorized by law,
viz, 1856, 100000, and this will of
course necessitate the restoration of
the 81, 100000 of greenbacks used last
month to the reserve fund again.

Gold Discoveries.

Almost simultaneously with the re-
ported wonderful discovery of the
golden island OF Aruba comes an auri.
ferrous tale of the nugget finding in
Guyana. The mines in this instance
are said to be on the banks of the
Oronoco, in tropical paradise, where
the earth produces spontaneously all
that the stomach of man can digest,
where the natives are anxious to work
for nothing, and where emigrants can
not help becoming millionaires. The
richest fields are said to be on the
upper end of the delta of the Oronoco,
and were known to the early Spaniards.
This story will answer very well as O
companion place to the Aruba sensa.
ton or the Arizona diamond discovery.
