French journals speak of the effects Of
the war on the mortality in Paris, in
which city the average number Of anpu
al deaths is 5000. In 1870 73, ,591 were
registered, while in 1871 the frightfn
amount Of 09.945 was reached. During
the same period the numbcr OF births
had diminished by about four fifths
and in September last, it had fallen
from 4,500 to 1870. While the deaths
doubled. the births diminished by one

"A REPUBLICAN, II EDrToRis OBsERvA.
TIoNs AT ,WAsH1N0ToN.-Mr. Samuel
Bowles. the keen, editor of the Spring.
field MASS. Repubhcah, WHO is at WASH
ington on political prospecting visit,
with the laudable object of stiffening
the Republican back, has written letter
expressive of his sensations and opinions
from Washington standpoint. After
meditating for o paragraph or two upon
the utter selfishness of Republican pa
triotism, like Marius among the ruins of
Carthage, Mr.. Bowles settles down to q
consideration of the all-absorbing Presi-
dental question. He finds very few of
the Republican Congressman willing to
open their mouths on the subject, so
fearful are they of the issue of the cam
paign. and so anxious to preserve their
bread and butter. But he thinks, with
italic certainty, that "if the Republican
members of Congress were, to-day,
obliged to sign one of two papers, de-
claring their belief that the interests of
the country and the party required the
denomination OF General Grant, or the
reverse. nomination would be no longer
possible" In.regard 10 tho Cincinn natl
Convention, Mr.. Bowles judges, from
what we can see and hear, that it will be
o purely Republican movement, and
will make no coalition with the Demo
cratic party; that all is at present in con-
fusion; that s'there are good many
things in the air, and that the continued
acquiescence of the Republican party in
the denomination of Grant threatens q
direfnl revolution.

LASSITUDE AND DEBILIrY,-TIa r..
laxation OF nervous energy which creates an
indisposition to physical or mental effort, 60
strong as almost to amount to positive ina.
oility and which We term lassitude, proceeds
from variety of causes. The principal Of
tseso are constitutional debility, heat of the
atmosphere, coupled with humidity, climatic
changes, and the physical prostration conse-
quent upon a long illness. But whatever the
cause, it must be perfectly clear that il tho
nervous system is unduly relaxed, something
is required to brace it up. That something
is HOSTETTEhS BlTTERS, which is uni, uni,
Vorsally recognized as the most complete and
speedy racuporant Of the physical forces in
existence. 1t has been so thoroughly and
widely demonstrated as to be a matter of
positive certainty and familiar knowledge.
that tho Bitters will not only rehabilitate the
physique, when shattered and wasted by dis
ease, put will also. il taken systematically
actually compensate the constitutionally fec
pie frame for it's deficiency OF strength, and
69y 'nfusiDg new lifo into weak system, en-
dow it with tho health and vigor which nature
has denied it. Tho Bitters also enable the
body to resist tho onervating influences OF
heat, humidity, and changes from tempe
rate to a hot climate. 1t is on these account g
specially to be recommended to travellers and

ENGLISH EXECUTIVE ABILITY.-The
home rulers of Ireland having been
tainted with the alleged incapacity of
the Irish for self-government, Mr.. Isaac
Butt, Q: c., NJ. F., happily retorts on
those who indulge In this sneer, that
there is nothing in English statesman
ship which should induce Irishmen tame
~ to yield to it the management of their
own affairs. This assertion is bad
enough, but that the learned gentleman
should attempt to prove it, and succeed,
too. is much worse. He cruelty examines
some OF the last achievements Of British
etatesmanship, with the following re-
suits: ''The wisest blockheads of tho
statesmanship of England" says Mr..
Butt. "were entrusted with the framing
OF q recent treaty. ] protest solemnly
that the meanest attorney in the -Four
Courts Of Dublin would run the risk of
being struck of tho rolls if he bungled
the marriage articles of n butchers
daughter with the son of sweep so
egregiously rs those magnificent block
heads had bungled treaty between two
great nations-a treaty which might yet
cost England one hundred and fifty mil
lions" This is bad enough as an Irish.
mans opinion of English executive
ability; but Mr.. Butt supports it by the
statement Of an English statesman, that
the greatest triumphs of the present
ministry were ''ships that would not
sail. armies that could not move, q com.
missariat which could not buy loaf OF
bread" Mr.. Butt capped the climax py
stating that government in ireland was
coerci terrorism and undisguised vio-
lation of the law"
