Lost Health Regained.


Self-neglect lays the foundation Of much bodily
suffering As rule men are more solicitous to re-
pair and preserve their houses, stock in trade and
other pershabe property than to repair and preserve
themselves. They can see when wall requires
prop, weak structure girder, but appear to he
unconscious Of Indifferent to, the cracks and flaws
and evidences Of decay in their own frail and sens,
tive organizations.
The consequence Of this want of common prudence
is that thousands fall by the waysde in the prime Of
life every year who might have lived to enjoy hale
and hearty old age if they had resorted to the proner
means Of recruiting their failing vigor at the proper
time.
Seeing what that famous vitalizing and inyipora
ting elixir Hostetters Stomach Bitters has done for
countless mutitudes of the eneryated and broke,
down. and with the long, unbroken record Of its cures
before him, 1t seems amazing that any sufferer from
premature decay, nervous weakness, dyspepsia, bill
iousness, chronic constipation, or disease of remit
tent or intermittent character should delay even for
an hour to seek the aid which its toning reguatip,
and nvigorating properties have never failed to af
ford.
1t is no exaggeratiOn to say that Hostetter,s
Stomach Bitters is the faithful ally of nature in
her struggles with weakness and disease that med
cal botany and honest chemistry have vet given IN
the world.

Gov. Smiths Testimony.

There was no portion of the various evil
dence brought before the meeting at City Hall
on Saturday evening in support of the P. &
o. r. R. more striking and significant than
that embodied in the address of Gov. Hendee,
or the portion thereof giving the record and
present views of Gov. Smith, of Vermont,
touching the Notch route.
Gov. Smith, as is we'll known, is the Presi-
dent of the Vermont Central r. r. and of
the Northern Pacific r. R., a combination
having in view and, in an advanced stage of
execution, through route from ocean to
ocean. He is, as Gov. Hendee stated, one of
the highest authorities upon railway matter
in this country, and one Of the most saga
cious, far-sighted and skillful railway managers
now living. 1t was this gentleman who first
proposed the Notch route. 1t was his engi-
neer who in the dead of winter, when the
route would show at its worst made survey
of the mountain section. 1t was he who
visited Portland twice and lent all the weight
and authority of his experience and character
in support of the railroad through the noun
tains. 1t was he who offered to lease the
whole line when complete and pay six per
cent. on its cost.
At that time it was Gov. Smiths hope to
make this road subsidiary to his own, by con-
nection at Montpelier or some other point
further west Now what is remarkable, what
is of extraordinary significance as regards the
feasibility and value of this railroad, is the
fact that Gov. Smith, though the road will
not now form connection with his own as he
desired, though to some extent it will be rival
to his road, yet maintains his former position,
that the Notch line is the best line for Port
land, that Portland's interest is in pushing
the road through as is now proposed. What
he thought and declared upon the occasion of
his visits to Portland four years ago he now
thinks and declares as railway man and an
expert upon such questions. We feel free to
say that in his judgment, thus rendered with
out the bias of hoped for advantage, we find
confirmation and renewed assurance of the
wisdom of the route.
But suppose it be admitted that Gov. Smith
has some Interior purpose to use and to de-
rive advantage from the P. & o. r. r. Let
1t be admitted even then he still cherishes the
secret hope to lease the line as he originally
proposed, what is there in all that but will re-
dound to our advantage? 1t will be in the
power of the people of Portland, who own
the road and control it, to determine what
shall be done with it, whether it shall be
leased or held in our own hands, as shall be
judged for our own interest. We have not
the slightest question that there will be an
eager competition on the part of railway com
binations leading west and northwest from
the western terminus of the P. & O. r. R. to
arrange with it, to make specially favorable
terms with it, as the shortest line to the best
harbor on the Atlantic and the port admitting
of the swiftest and cheapest handling and
transfer of merchandise. We shall thus be
masters of the situation, and can arrange on
terms satisfactory to ourselves with those par
ties who will serve us best.

CHICAGo.-The Mayor of Chicago
is having an uphill business in en-
forcing the new liquor law which
requires twenty-five hundred sa-
looms to keep closed on the Sabbath.
Strangely enough. however, the
worst dens, the whisky holes, whence
have come most OF the murders and
other OuLrages, oppose but little
resistance, and the whisky drinkers
are pretty generalin admitting that
it would do everybody good to have
the drinking places closed on the
Sabbath. But the Germans, young
and old, rich and poor, educated
and illiterate, to the number of
nearly Il hundred thousand, are cry
ing out against the fanaticism :"
and puritanism and outrage !"
of this attack upon their most cher
ished custom, and some of them
even threaten a violent opposition to
the law. The experiment of enfOrc-
ing the prohibition has been held
two Sundays with very good sue
cess, nearly all the saloons having
beer, closed, and the streets pre-
senting an unusual appearance OF
quiet but still it will prove a diff
cult job to keep the Teuton entirely
from his beloved lager.-Fi cksburg

Social Reform in lndia-:- The Mar
rage Of Hindoo Widows.

Correspondence Of the London Timesl
The Bombay Gazette has an inter
esting account of a HindOO widows
marriage at Ahmedabad. Many of
your readers are aware that there
exists in India a strong native ere
form party" for the promotion of
widows marriages. mighty re-
form. Formerly the widow went to
the pile with her husband. When
that was abolished by the stern
hand of British law, the plan of
starving instead of burning was
adopted. The widow. young or old,
is compelled following for stealth)
to wear certain dress, to live in
retirement, to eat s.,ariDgly, and, in
short, make herself as miserable as
possible. Against this the " reform
party" is waging war. The young
woman to whom am about to refer
is named Jivokre, and had charge
of girls school at a military VII
lage in the Breach COliectOrate,
where she agreed privately to mar
nv a young schOOlmaster. The mo-
Their of the lady heard of the infa-
nous attempt, and set ward and
watch over her daughter. The
schOOlmaster laid plan of escape !;
he cent a palanquin to the village,
and made pretty story as to its
object in connection with some chief.
But the vile was discovered the
villagers arose in virtuOus indigna-
ton, chased the palanquin men
away, and JivOkre was /" closely
shaved, cruelty tortured" and tax
en- to another village, where she
was put under lock and chain. The
schoOlmaster then applied to the
magistrate for power to release the
girl from illegal detention, and
eventually she was released, and
two of her prosecutors were com
mitted for trial. In the meantime
the widow-she is eighteen years of
age-was married, quietly, the re-
port says, SO as to clash with no ma
tive prejudice, but by Brahmin
priests, and in the presence of a
large number of the reformed party.
The business, however, is probably
far from terminated. The widow,
it is said, is heir to movable proper
ty worth about $1,000, and of that
she is almost certain to be plumber
ed. The priests, also, who perform
ed the ceremony, are threatened
| with accommodation. 1 think,
however that, looked at from pub
lie point of view, the advantage to
be gained is well worth a great
many sacrifices. 1t is one OF the
true reforms of Indian life, for the
Young widows are rarely widows
indeed" and are often a canker-
worm in the form of a monument to
cOnjugal duty.

BEST TINE FOR PAINTING HOUS-
Es.-The best time for painting the
exterior of buildings is late in au.
tumn or during the winter. Paint
then applied will endure twice us
long as when applied in early sum-
mer or in hot weather. In the
former it dries slowly and becomes
hard, like a glazed surface not east
ly affected afterwards by the wea-
ther, or worn off by the beating of
storms. But in very hot weather
the oil in the paint sOaks into the
wood at once, rs into a sponge,
leaving the lead nearly dry and
nearly ready to crnmble Oft This
last difficulty, however, might in a
measure be guarded against, though
at an increased expense, by first
going over the surface with raw oil.
BY painting in cold weather, one
annoyance might certainly be es-
capped, namely, the collection of
small flies on fresh paint..-The

A Political Vendetta in New York
A Second Victim.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The killing
of Thomas Donohue, by John Scan
mel, in this city. last night, was to
all appearance a most cold blOOded
assassination. The tragedy is Sc
queI of a bloody feud between the
two political factions in the Eight
eenth Ward. The late ex-Alder-
man Florence Scanned aimed at the
leadership 10 that district. and was
opposed by Donohue. Florence
Scannel had several encounters
with DOnohue's friends at different
times the last was in Donohue's
place in the fall of 1870, in which q
number Of shots were exchanged.
One of them struck Scanned in the
body, and he died, after lingering
nearly two months in Belleview
Hospital. His adherents accused
Donohue of firing the fatal shot, but
the charge could not be substantial
ed. Soon after the fight JOhh Scan
mel aud DOnohue met on Eighth
avenue and Eighteenth street, and
the quarrel was re-opened, and end
ed by DOnOhue being shot in the
breast. He was long confined to
his bed. John Scanned left the city
for a time, but ventured to return
about six months ago. He was
placed under bonds to keep the
peace, but never relinquished his
determination to kill the supposed
slayer OF his brother.
Their meeting last night in John
sons pOOl-selling room. Broadway
and Twenty eighth streets, was not
accidental. While Donohue was in
the upper room, John Scanned was
seen in the crowd below by some of
his acquaiDtances, who observed
that he was labOring under sup
pressed excitement. When DOnO-
hue came down stairs he saw his
former assailant and turned pale.
He stood irresOlute for a moment
and then walked towards the exit.
John Scanned glided swiftly toward
him, placed a heavy navy revolver
at the back part of the head, fired,
aud killed him instantly. Since
bis arrest Scanned shows no signs OF
con triton.
