Revolutions Never Go Backward.

The philosophical theory that the human system
when weakened by disease, oppressive heat, ex-
cessve labor or any other cause, should be toned
and invgorated instead Of being subjected to the
action Of depict ng drugs, is gaining ground every
day. The Introduction of Host.tter's stomach
Bitters twenty years ago gave powerful influence
to this common sense idea. AS the extraordinary
efficacy OF the Great Vegetable Restorative became
known multitudes of debilitated invalids turned
with loathing from the nauseous and strength-des-
troyng potions with which it was then the fashion
to drench the sick, 10 this renovating, appetizing
vitalizing preparation derived from the finest roots
herbs and barks placed by botanical research at
the disposal OF medical science. Revolutions never
go backward. From that time to the present the
importance of assisting and reinforcing nature in
her struggles with disease has been more and more
widely and keenly appreciated by the sick and the
suffering. In tens OF thousands of households
Hostetter's Bltters are looked upon as the one
thing need nj in cases of Dyspepsia, General De-
billy, Constipation, Nervous Weakness Chills and
fever, Bilious Affections and all conditions OF the
body and mind that betoken lack of vital energy.
When the Quicksilver ranges high, and the solid
flesh Is resolving itself into den under the iervd
temperature, this agreeable tonic is the best pos
sbe safeguard against all the disorders generated
by sultry and unwholesome atmosphere. 1t pre-
vents and relieves lassitude and languor, and en-
ables the system t. endure with impunitv
',sual amount of exertion. OF all invgorating and
regulating medicines, it is the purest and most
wholesome.

save themselves from drowning. The boat
went down in just two minutes, carrying all
the baggage, money, watches aud other valu-
ables Of the entire crew. The two alarmed
mariners discovered that piece about foot
and half long and six inches wide had been
broken out of the port quarter, probably by
sturgeon that had jumped on to the side of
the boat. Yesterday morning the mariners
rgged a Spanish windlass and hoisted the
boat, saving it and all the baggage. She has

KEEP THE HAIR UNBLEMIsHED.-"I am like
an old hemlock-withered at the top" said
venerable Indian Chief, pointing to his thin
and bleaching locks. Thousands of men and
women in civilized society, much younger
than the old Sycamore, are like him, ''wi,h-
cred at the top" simply because they have
neglected to use the means OF preserving and
beautifying the hair which science had placed
at their disposal. If Lyons Kathairon BE-
faithfully applied once or twice day, to the
fbres and the scalp, it is just az impossible
that the hair should decay, wther, fall out or
become harsh and fuzzy, as that a meadow,
duly refreshed with nightly dews and sunlit
rains, should become arid and barren of green
blades. This matchless preparation not only
keeps the hair alive and the skin of the head
in II healthy and clean condition, but actually
multiplies the flaments and imparts to them
Iustre, fexbilIty and wavy beauty unattain-
able by any other mode of treatment. 1t does
not like the metallic and suphurous hair
dyes dry up the natural moisture of the scalp,
but supplies nutriment to the roots OF. the hair
yigor to the fibers. july 3l-+&weodlw

One of our city clergymen has been luxu-
rating for whole month at Boothbay, up to
his arm. pits in seaweed, and with ears closed
to every sound save that of the sounding
sea-" We have received a private note from
this minister who is following so literally the
occupation of the first disciples, and one
would Judge from its tenor that he meant 'to
fight it out on that (fsh) line if it takes all
summer" For instance, hear him: cit would
surprise you to know the number of mackerel
that have come under my roof and passed
away forever! GLOW sad " 1t seems,
when on the water with light wind and
heavy swell, as ifmy head would split open
(sea-sick, you see) the result of fish, or
something else" The 'something else is
sold in violation of the Maine law. On the
return of this minister to his pulpit, his con-
gregation may expect that he will confine
himself altogether to the discussion of nauti-
cal themes.

More Comfort for the Liberals.
NORTH VAssALBoRo, July 81, 1872.
To the Editor Of the Kennebee jour nal
notice in the Boston Herald of this inst =,
in the special despatch from Augusta, a state
ment of the tremendous movement on foot
in this district against Hon. j. G. Blaine, an
item of witch says: THE home of Mr.. Lang
gives more than half of its republican strength
to the movement" Now, I happen to be
personally acquainted with every voter in
the town of Vassslboro', and with their politi
cal views, and l will venture to say that there
are not more than fifteen Greeley Republicans
in town, and though Mr.. Lang has many
personal friends in the town of Vassalboro'
he cannot reckon on single vote outside OF
the democratic Greeley party. MIR. Langs
experience several years ago, when he &C
cepted the democratic nomination for the
State Senate, ought to remind him and his
friends that he reckons without his host.
Another item in relation to tie Hon. Reu-
ben Foster, is alike futile. Mr. Foster Is
outspoken in denunciation of the Greeley
hunbug and fraud. II.
