MARRIAGE UNDER DIFFICULTIEs.-
There was marriage in one of the
churches of the city day or two since,
and in consequence of the great dis
parity of ages between the bride and
groom, number of frolicsome boys
gave the happy pair an old-fashioned
charivari as they came out of the
church. The horses standing in front
of the door not liking the din caused
by the tin-pans, bells and "sich like"
took fright and ran away. OFF started
the groom and his attendants after the
horses and carriages, but they stayed
away SO long, and the charivari in the
meantime becoming louder and more
discordant, the bride: unable any
longer to stand the rumpus, made for
home as fast as her feet would carry
her, Mobile Register.

Midsummer Malad dies.

The hot solar rays that ripen the har-
vests generate many distressing dis
eases. If the Liver be at all predis-
posed to irregularities, this is the sea-
son in which bilious attacks may be
anticipated. A weak stomach, too, is
weakest in the summer months, and
the loss of vitality through the pores
by excessive perspiration is so great,
that wholesome tonic, combing also
the properties of a diffusive stimulant
and gentle exhilarant, is in many cases
necessary to health, and under no cir
cumstances should be dispensed with
by the sickly and debilitated. OF all
the preparations intended thus to re-
fresh, sustain, and fortify the human
frame, there is none that will compare
with Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach
Bitters. They have been weighed in
the balance of Experience and not found
wanting; have been recommended from
the first as great medicinal specific,
not rs beverage, and in spite of in
terested opposition from innumerable
quarters, stand, after twenty years
trial, at the head Of all proprietary
medicines intended for the prevention
and cure of all ordinary complaints OF
the stomach, the liver, the bowels and
the nerves. In the unhealthy districts
bordering the great rivers of Califor-
MIA, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may
be classed as the standard one for eve
~ species of intermittent or remittent
fever. The people who inhabit those
districts, place the most implicit conf
dence in the preparation-a confidence
that is increased every year by the re-
suits of its operations.
AS Bitters, so-called, of the most per-
nicious character, are springing up like
fungi OH every side, the public is here
by forewarned against the dram shop
frauds. Ask for Hostetter's Bitters-
see that the label, etc., are correct, and
remember that the genuine article
is never sold in bulk, but in bottles
only is it sold.

New Orleans mail service has actually

in New Orleans and has this route, via

regularly and arrive without the mail,
simply because they refuse to take it
for good reasons, never receiving any
compensation therefor. These are
facts-now if Post Masters of New

The Man and the Brother at the
White House.

| A Washington correspondent of the
Ohio State Journal furnishes the fol-
lowing amusing account of an inter
view between the President and a
representative of the newly enfran-
chised race:
He was negro. His head looked
like an enlarged oven, and as knotty
as red oak. He was dressed in the
shabby gented manner, with flaming
red necktie. The President gave him
a long, searching look, and saw what
he was: then settled himself back in
his chair for a siege.

''Mr. President, I have a wife and

Met ut every point, the President
drew his pocket-book and gave the

colored gentleman for the first time
took his eyes from the Presidents
face. He carefully folded the note
brushed his dilapidated beaver will
his elbow, put the bill in his pocket
and made for the door, saying as he
departed, with the flourish of Beat
