Senator Thomas says that if they
were out-generaled i'll the tilibuster-
ing on the organization of the Senate,
it was their misfortune. This Senator
seems to us to be guided by more
common sense and better philosophy
than any Of his fellow wanderers in
the Wilderness. As soon as he found
himself out generated, he acknowl-
edged the corn and returned to his
post of duty. Others who were out
generated at their own tricks, got an
CRY and wanted to carry their point
by force. This does not look well
and shows bad spirit. A politician
who selects his own game, has the
shuttle and the deal and stocks the
cards. to boot, and then let's his adver-
sary beat him, can not make himself
appear any smarter as q politician in
the eyes of his constituents by going
for his political opponent like Bill Nye
went for that Heather Chinee.-Ope-

HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly i'll Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
diffuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses OF people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest. ri
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines aye accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not cheaper

r,snhant IN a Quick SAND

On the banks of the river Ganges,
says q military journalist, there are
many quicksands. and during our expe-
dition somewhat distressing scene
happened. An elephant incautlusly
GENE within the vortex of one; first one
foot sank, then another; and in endeav-
oring to extricate himself, matters be-
came worse; at last no portion OF his
legs we're visible, and the bystanders had
given up the poor animal as last. Being.
fortunately, unusually powerful, he three
several times, with what appeared almost
supernatural strength, drew foot from
the closely clinching earth, placing
it where, by sounding with his trunk, he
found the most solidity. Not until after
three attempts did the ground bear his
pressure, when he gradually released
himself. During the whole period OF his
trouble his cries were exceedingly dolor-
Gus, and might have been heard for two
miles. His grunt, when they were at an
end was equally indicative Of satisfac-
ton. The internal application of bot
tie of strong spirits soon dissipated
trembling and restored his equanimity.
Many unfortunate elephants are lost in
these treacherous sands, when large
quantities of grass or branches of trees
are not at hand to form an available
support for them. After a certain time
the poor beast becomes powerless. and
the owner can only look with sorrow at
the gradual disappearance of his noble
animal, and lament the pecuniary loss
be thereby suffers, for all human aid is
futile. They have been known TO be
twelve hours in sinking.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Living Advertisements.-A medicine that
has done more than all the prescriptions of the
pharmaeopaia to protect the human system
against the bodily ills superinduced by un-
healthy surroundings. is certainly worthy Of
universal confidence. tits mainly on account
of It's extraordinary preventive properties that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is so exceedingly
popular in localities subject to the visitation
of miasmatic fevers and other diseases pro-
duced by empoisOned air. A family that has
escaped sickness during a sickly season in
consequence ofusing the Bitters rs a safeguard.
Is living advertisement of the virtues of the
preparation. The whole neighborhood realize
the fact '' l couldn't have believed it." says
one. II scarcely credited the advertisements;
but one must believe what one sees" says an
other ''Itis the very thing we need in this I'M
wholesome section OF country" remarks q
third. And the result is that the instinct of
self-defense, the first law of nature, induces
three-fourths Of that community to obtain a
supply of the great vegetable antidote before
the next sickly season sets in. In winter.
when the system requires extra viEor and elias
ticity to enable it to battle the effects of damp
and cold. the Bitters will be found particularly
serviceablO. Rheumatism will not be apt to
fasten upon muscles and nerves that have been
braced up by this excellent invigorant and
nervine; nor will the seventies of the season,
which have such disastrous effect on the
pulmonary organs of the feeble and delicate.
be likely to exercise the same untOward inau-
enee in cases where the stomach and the ex-
ternal surface of the body (which alwaysSym-
pathiEes with the digestive organs) hsvep0een

torative. The fits of indigestion and irregu-
larities Of the bowels which proceed from sud-
den changes of weather may always be averted
by a timely use Of the Bitters.
