Defend Your Health. The fall Of the leaves
not only symboliEes human decay bat pro-
notes it. In other words. the efiuyia from
dying and rotting vegetation is unfayorable to
health. To this and other causes especially
excess Of moisture in the stmosphere-may be
ascribed the prevalence Of acute disorders Of
the stomach, bowels and liver at this season.
Every person Of bilious habit Is liable to be
very bilious in the fall. Then, too. all persons
whose digestion is weak are more than ordi-
narily dyspeptic, and individuals predispOsed
to collie. diarrhea and dysentery are pArtieu-
larry likely to be attacked by these complaints.
The most complete defense against each and
all Of these distressing ailments is bodily yigor.
To obtain this blessing in all its plentitnde
where It does not exist, Hostetler's Stomach
Bitters is earnestly recommended. 1t is the
peculiar Office of this preparation to reinforce
and regulate the important organs which d.
gest and temper the food, and convert It into
DEMONSTRATING blood. Bodily yigor depends
upon the nourishing qualities Of that huid
and the nutritioasness Of the blood depends
upon the functional activity and regularity
which it is the special province Of the Bitters
to secure. Hence il is the best defense Of
health at this season. and indeed at all sea-
sons. When dysentery. diarrhea, bilious
collie, and other violent affections Of the bow
els, become epidemic, as they often do in GER
tain parts Of the country In the fall, II will be
found that perFOns who have been wise enough

JUDGE INeRAHAM, sitting as Judge Of the
Court of Oyer and Terminer, yesterday dis
charged the Grand Jury of this Court. Judge
Bedford's Grand Jury is therefore now the
only Richmond in the field. The rivalry be-
tween these two juries is now at an end, and
with it, it is to be hoped, the feeling of bitter
ness engendered between them, which had
certainly begun to assume an unpleasantly
threatening aspect. Judge Ingraham, how
ever, in his parting words to the jury, dis
claims any intention or desire on his part or
that of the jury at interference with the Gene
raj Sessions Grand Jury, and declares that tho
only purpose of the prolonged session was to
finish the criminal business before it.

BRITISH HoNpURAs--Irs ENTKRPRIsE AND
CAUTION people of Belize, British Hon
duras, are ever complaining, of late years, OF
the melancholy fact that capital flows away from
the colony and that the inhabitants are being
pauperized rapidly by the want of trade. The
government of Costa RIGA has endeavored, 1t
appears. to relieve their necessity by taking
off some of the unemployed males of the popu-
lation and placing them to work at railroad
construction. The Costa Rican agents ask
the men to 90 to Monkey Point, place on,
the coast about three hundred miles south oil
Belize. The Belize newspapers oppose the
idea bitterly, advising the men not to go to
Costa RIGA under any inducemeut. One edi-
torial conservator of native poverty and idle
ness says:-"Who knows but that the men
hired here as railway navvies will not be
made to turn out as soldiers, and by so
doing cause our government 70 be compro-
misedp When Walker, the flibuster, was
hunting round and about for rscruita he hired

MORE ATLANTIC CABLEs.-The subject of
increased ocean telegraphic communication is
attracting at the present time considerable
attention in England. The necessity for closer
connection between this country and Great
Britain is every day becoming more and more
evident. Two propositions concerning this
subject are now under consideration In the
latter country One is to the effect that a
proposition was recently submitted to the
British Chambers of Commerce throughout
the kingdom for the acquisition of the
existing cables by the American and
British governments jointly and the Sc
curing of the monopoly of all future
lines; the other is for the immediate laying
down of new line. We learn by telegram
that contract by new company has already
been signed for the construction of cable
direct to New York. With the Atlantic cables
under the control of the governments of both
nations we might reasonably expect large
reduction from the present excessive rates
and consequent advantages to the general
public.

and the dollars or pounds of the other will he
repaid hundredfold by and by. The coming
Eve years will probably make manifest
as great if not greater changes and dis
coveres than the seventy years of this Gen.
fury past have revealed. The common, the
almost universal, impulse of Christendom, ia
toward Africa, of whose eighty or more mil
lions Of inhabitants less than two millions
probably know or enjoy in any true sense
anything of the religion without law and the
liberty without license which we enjoy.
Africa has not yet had fair start in the race
for religion and civilization in these later days.
Her sons have been bought and sold like chat
tells in the market, and her soil has been
Stunned as if it were the very gateway to the
bottomless pit But no sooner did slavery
begin to disappear from the commerce and the
statute books of the nations of the earth than
scientists and philosophers and philanthropists
began to direct their attention toward the
home of the black man. As long as he was
slave and chattel he was nothing, but when
he became man, recognized as such
among men, feeling of brotherhood
was awakened, and Christian governments and
individuals at once undertook the task Of
bringing to bis land the blessings of our Chris
tian civilization. And In this noble effort we
take no small degree of praise to ourselves
for the enterprise, unparalleled not only
in the history of journalism, but in the his
tory of the world for self-sacri6cing devo-
Tho bro
nationality. 1t is cosmopolitan in its charac-
ter, and publishes its news from all parts of the
world fer all parts of the world. And we hope
ere many years to see or to know that some
enterprising African has regular HERALD
route on the steamers which ply along the
Nile between Lake Nyanza and the Mediter-
ranean ports of Egypt, or on some grand
trunk line or interoceanic railroad traversing
the length or breadth of that vast but I'M
known land. ETHIOPIA shall soon stretch out
her hands to God, and the nations shall look
upon her whom they have pierced and trampled
under foot, and in her exaltation and pros
perity shall be their highest gain. She is
comparatively one of the best customers which
England has to-day, in proportion to her semi
civilized population, with whom contact can be
had. And in the opening up of Africa to
Christianity Western civilization and COM
merce will find its richest and surest rewards.
Thus Christianity and commerce act and
react upon each other, and that law of morals
as well as of physics holds true in this case, as
in every other, that he who watereth others
shall be watered also himself We hail, then,
this fresh evidence of the growing brotherhood
of mankind, and for our share in furthering
these grand movements we have the approval
of our own consciences, and are willing to
wait for the opening up of the dark and
unknown land for our recompense. 1t is
glorious privilege to live in such an age az
this, and to have part and lot in such enter
prises as these.

THE MORMON COUNCIL OF UTAH have
rejected the proposition to send delegates to
the Republican National Convention and the
proposition to submit the State constitution
they are framing to vote of the people. We
apprehend that their State constitution will be
'1ove's labor lost for it is abundantly mani
fest that the President will be sustained by
Congress in his policy of first abolishing Nor
mon polygamy in Utah, as Territory, before
admitting those people to the rights Of State.
In their Territorial condition the President,
with the cooperation or consent of Congress,
can compel our Mormon brethren to adopt the
one-wife principle; but if admitted as State
they can make polygamy their supreme law,
applicable even to the Gentiles within their
borders. And so, while the Saints hold on to
polygamy, or make only uncertain promises
of its ultimate abolition, they will not be
admitted as a State. Their game for the
jurisdiction Of State over their local affairs
is understood, and it will be failure.
