The Career of Great Remedy.-Twenty
summers have elapsed since 1t was briefly an
nounced that a new vegetable tonic and altera-
tise. bearing the name of Hostetter's Stomach
Blfter's, had been added to the list of Preyen-
tive and Restorative medicines. The modest
advertisement which invited attention to the
preparation stated that it had been used with
great success, in private practice, as cure
for dyspepsia, bilious complaints, constipation
and intermittent fever. 1t was soon dis
covered that the article possessed oxtraordi-
nary properties. The people, Of every class,
tested its merits as a tonic, stimulant, correc-
tive and restorative, and found that its effects
more than falflled their hopes and expecta-
tons. From that time to the present its
course has been upward and onward, and it
stands to-day at the head of all medicines OF
its class, American or imported, in the magni-
tude Of its sales and its reputation as safe.

gent testimony, extending over a period Of a
fifth Of century. and comprehending the
names of thousands of weIl-known citizens
belonging to every class and calling. In Eu-

patronage Of royalty for a patent medicine. !"

A Musical Dog.

The Hartford Times is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
There is in this city dog that can sing. We
state the fact unqualifedly on the testimony of
all the members of the family Of the gentleman
who owns him. The animal in question is q large
mouse-colored greyhound about six or
seven years old. His attempts at singing, though
are certainly not very musical, are unmistakable,
the last two or three years. He does not sing
alone, but when he hears certain members of the
family singing he "joins in" This is more par
ticuar the case with one lady of the house, who,
if she begins to sing when the dog is anywhere
about the place, is pretty certain to obtain
canine accompaniment. If she is heard singing
up stairs and the dog is shut out below, he will
raise a rumpus until he is admitted to the room
where she is, when he will "join in" keeping
very good time, and dkeeping-so we are assured
on the same key, rising with the singer to
the higher notes, IN . kind of blendid whine and
howl, that is yet neither like the voice of Q dog
nor anything else, but showing something of =
musical ear. When he reaches q note too high
he will stop and wait for the cadence Of the sone
to reach ::ie lower nc;es again. In his rising
notes he lfishis head as we'll " his voice. When
his owner enters the room he will Suddenly stop,
and not another note can be got ont Of him while
his master remains. In fact, he dislikes to have
anybody present except the one with whom he
sings. "His voice is improved and he sings bet
ter than he did" He may yet sing with Nilsson.
There are good many puppies following in her
wake, who have neither the music nor the sense
of this one.

AN ERA OF HONESTY IN Politics BEGIN
NING.-In New York it was supposed to be hope
less task to fight against the corrupt agents OF
the ring, aud the reason was that those agents
were SO many and well paid that the honest side
had little chance. Reverse the condition of af-
fairs and the peoples cause will>be maintained
with equal zeal without the corrupt appliances
employed by Tammany. The Indications are
that an era of honesty in politics is beginning.
Now is the time to secure such q condition Of
things as q permanency. If we continue the
present low salaries we shall find good and hon.
est men to accept positions for q short time, but
they will gradually withdraw to secure the great
er remnnerations of private business and the off,
ces will revert to knaves and fools. But if pub
lie service is rewarded private citizens reward
labor IN their behalf We may make public Office,

1t is highly probable that Alexis will have rea-
son to remember Niagra Falls in future, not only
by the magnitude of the cataract, but also by the
corresponding magnitude of his hotel bills at that
place. Swindling has long been q characteristic
of all entertainers of the public at that place. from
hackmen to hotelkeepers Of the second class. As
all the rstclass houses are closed for the winter
it was matter of necessity that the Duke and
party should stop at a second-class house. The
The Spencer House was selected, and the party
stopped three-fourths of a day and ate one meal.
The landlord presented bill Of 81 500 as his idea
of moderate compensation. The bill was refused,
of course, where-npon the landlord had the bag
gage of the party seized for the purpose Of COM
pelling payment. The matter was finally COM
caring to involve himself in q law suit. Niagara
has now capped the climax as the meanest place
in the United States.

TEXAS CArTLE.-A careful estimate places the
total of Texas cattle driven toward Kansas during
the present season at one million head, worth an
average of SO head at the State line, and thus
contributing $20,OO0,O 900 to the cash circulation
and floating wealth Of the State. This million of
cattle. after being pastnred in Missouri Kansas
and Illinois, and corn-fed in Illinois, Missouri,
Indiana and Ohio, thus prOftably consuming not
less than s20.OOO,OOO more in the produce and Ia
Dor of those States, goes east by rail- in droves
giving business to railroads, drivers, &c, to the
value of $40, ,OO0, 900 more, after which they will

BRIGHAM YOUNG's FAMILY.-Among the most
interesting sights to be at the theatre i'm Salt
Lake City is the young army of Youngs, the
Prophets progeny, who generally occupy the
benches along one side of the parapet. Boys and
girls, young men and women, apparently without
number, ranging in years from seven to twenty,
play and sport with each other like so many kit
tens. Finer or healthier specimens of humanity
you cannot find anywhere. The male portion are
strong and healthy, and robust; the females are
very womanly looking, with clear complexions
and bright eyes. They have all splendid teeth
and beautiful heads of hair. The girls are very
roguish, and are not at all averse to levelling
their opera-glasses upon any handsome and noted
Gentle who may be present. They seem to ap-
preciate return glances and then laugh and gig
gle over the fun like a lot Of school girls.
Getting a full view Of the family Of the Prophet
and dissecting them mentally and physically, the
unprejudiced thinker cannot agree with those
philosophers who assert that the offspring of
ploygamic marriages are weak and puny crea-
lures. That such may be the ease in some in
stances may be true; but il, in no sense, can ap-
ply to the Young family.
