A Perilous Season.

Glorious and delightful as the Sum-
met season is, its tropical heat is Sc
we're trial to the vital powers. Even
the strongest are sometimes Frustrated
by its effects, The common phrase APP
piled to this condition of the body is
general debility" Now, general dc
bility arises from, and includes a va
riety of ailments. The liver is more or
less affected, the bowels are either con-
stipated or too much relaxed, the sto-,
mach but half performs the work of
digestion. the appetite is poor, and tho
spirits depressed. This is what is
called general debility. It's general
disarrangemcnt of all the physical
functions, and requires as q remedy Il
medicine that will regulate them ALL.
Hostetters Stomach Bitters is specially
adapted to this purpose. Its general
operation is nat confined to a single
organ. If the liver is affected it le-,
stores it's tone. II the st0machis tor,
pid, it regeuerates it. II the nerves
are tremulous and weak, it braces and
reiuforces them. Ii the mind, which
ever sympathizes with the body, IL
gloomy and Respondent, it relieves the
difficulty, aud soon brings the whole
mechanism of the body into harmony
with the laws Of health. - -,
There is no civilized nation in the
Western Hemisphere in which the util-
ity of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a
tonic, corrective and anti. bilious med
icine, is not known and appreciated.
Throughout the Tropics it is considc.-
ed, both by the people and the profess
sion, the standard specific. While it,
lis medicine for all seasons and all
climates, it is especially suited to the
complaints generated by the weather,
being the purest and best vegetable
stimulaut in the world. q % 3i'H

but few days duration. He was

Sand there arose great torn of

so that it was now full.
And Jesus was in the hinder part of

awoke Him, and said unto Him-'Mas-

And He arose and rebuked the wind,
and said unto the sea-'Peacc, be STILL

In the rich cleaning of the west,
The sun was sinking to his rest, =.
And as he slowly downward went,
A thousand rays Of brightness sent,
10 pierce the curtains Of the night,
That slowly hid him from the sight.
The evening breeze, so soft and pure,
Was signing sweetly on the shore
OF famed Judea's holy land, .a-
Kissing the trees and snow-white sand,
Swelling the canvas of bark
just putting forth into the dark.
AS swiftly in her onward way
She flew, misty cloud of spray dj
Arose and followed, while the bright
Phosphoric waters shone with light,
And left behind trembling track
OF closing waters at her back. ..-.,,
Her march was DER the azure sea, r.
Her bearing bold, her motion free.
But suddenly arose ON high,
Thick clouds, that darkened all the sky,
While loud the mighty saunders roll,
That shake the earth from pole to pole.
Now swift the vivid lightnings dart,
Rending the blackened clouds apart;
While angry pillows toss and roar,
Driving the vessel far from shore. ~,
Amid the terrors of the storm,
The crew are filled with wild alarm;
They watch the waters bowling past,
While, like a bulrush, bends the mast.
Upon the narrow lower deck +,
The Savior God is sweetly sleeping,
The beaten bark almost wreck,
AS winds and waves around are
sweeping.
With piteous voice the sailors cry: if.
"Awake, 0, Lord! behold, we die! ia.
0, Master, we implore Thee, wake!
And save as for Thy mercy's sake"
Then Jesus from his lowly bed
Arose, and to the wild waves said,
In tones whose wondrous power did fill
Their hearts with hope: "Peace, winds,
be still.''
The raging winds have ceased their
roar,
The mountains pillows toss no more:
The waters near the vessel meet,
And gently kiss the Savior's feet.

Workmen Assassinated.

ASHLAND, August l4.-This morning
about three o clock, as some men who
had been employed to do some repair
ing at Gorrell & Audenreids mines,
near Centralia, were returning from
their work, they were fred upon by q
party Of the Molly McGuires, who
were secreted in the woods half way
between the ;mines and Centralia and
three of the, workmen, named George
w. Davis, John B. Webster and Alfred
Burge, were badly wounded. Davis, II
is thought, cannot recover, the ball
having taken effect in his bsdy near the
right shoulder. Webster was riddled
with bird shot and sheet nails. Burge
was badly wounded in the leg. The
cause of the murderous assault was, 1t
is thought, on account OF the men 60.
ing to work against the wishes Of the
Molly McGuires," who are a terror TO
the inhabitants Of this region. None
Of the assassins have yet been arrested.

Facts About North Carolina.

The Grant politicians, in their des-
perate efforts to get comfort out Of the
NORTH Carolina election, are stating that
not only is the present Governor OF
North Carolina a Dem ocrat, but that
the State has been Democratic for sew
eral years, and that the election OF q
Republican Governor now is therefore
an extraordinary triumph. Strange to
say, they have found an occasional be-
liever. For the benefit Of these gentle
men we would state that TIE last
election for Governor in North Caro-.
lima prior to that held the first Of this
month WAS in August 1858; at which
election Mr.. Holden, the Republican
candidate, received 1000 majority
over Mr.. Ashe, the Democratic candi-
date. Mr.. Holden was impeacbed in
1870, and the Lieutenant Governor
elected on the same ticket has since
been the Governor. He was nom
mated this year by the Grant Republi-
cans, and is the man who has been
falsely counted in. For the benefit OF
those who are in doubt about the posi-
ton OF North Carolina, we append the
majorities at every election, commence
ing with 1868, to the present time:

The Israeiites Will Not support
GRANT.

Inc IAfHHtIIeN
Grant.
From the Cincinnati Israelite.
Every religious persecution is crime,
but in this country it is an abominable
one. That is the very thing which
many OF our European Democrats and
many of our home partisans do not
understand. Horace Greeley, however,
did. and does understand this principle.
AS a statesman and journalist, he was
Obliged to respect and support it, and so
he has invariably done. Mr.. Greeley
stands outside Of the orthodox religious
circle. No orthodox Jew will allow him
to be a Jew, and no orthodox Christian
recognize him or his sect (Unlversalis,)
az Christian. In one Of his speeches
THE God of Israel, reprinted in The
Israelits, Mr. Greeley openly, boldly and
clearly expressed his theology, TO show
and to wit, that he stands outside Of the
orthodox circle; hence he has no reason
at all to abuse or persecute any relig-
ious denomination. Therefore, as a
Journalist, Mr.. Greeley took invariably
the part OF the prosecuted or wroDged
denomination, Jewish. Catholic, Nor
mon, or Heather. Therefore, he is
look ed upon as a special friend Of the
Catholics, hence decried by European
democratic organs. We, for our part,
would not vote any man into
high position, who manifested a
spirit of persecution at any time
We did not vote for President Grant on
account Of his notorious Order No. III.
We could not possibly vote for Mr..
Wilson, because, as a Kuow-Nothing,
he hated and prosecuted foreigners and
Catholics, and at the first occasion
offering in the Senate of the United
States, he proved a vulgar Jew eater.
We would never cast our vote Tor any
person identified with intolerance and
Injustice, because he is unfit to be the
banner. bearer of liberty, and unsound
either in his judgment or in
his moral character. We vote neither
for the demagogue nor for the idiot, and
the intoIerant politician proves to be
either. 1t is with particular pleasure,
however, that we shall vote for Horace
Hreeley; not merely on account Of HE
superior intelligence, sta,esmansbip and
stern honesty, but also because he has
proved himself invariably just. tolerant
and liberal to all sorts OF people aud all
classes OF ideas. That is the truly
Democratic type o, manhood. These
are the particular graces OF aD American
statesman, to command our respect and
confidence.
