A Triumphant Record,

In glancing back at the history Of proprietary med
icnes in this country, It becomes at once evedent
that Hostetters Stomach Bit,ers has been the most
succ ssful of them ALL The record of its triumphs
covers period of about twenty years. and during
that time it has probably restored to health and Wig
or greater number Of deuiitated invalids than all
other tonics and alternatives combined. The
amount of disease and suffering that has been pre-
vented by its extensive preventive medicine
u.s. OF course understandable, but it is well known
and uniisputed fact that the malaria which gener-
ates periodic fevers and many other distressing and
dangerous disorders seldom, if ever, produce any
injurious, effect upon systems that have been forti-
cd in advance by of this invaluable vegetable
tonic.

THE SECRETARY OE WAR AID INTERIM.
Secretary Belknap has gone on an extend
/ ed tour of inspection of the posts on the
plains with Gen. Sheridan. He desired to
appoint Gen. Sherman Secretary of War pro
tempore, but on asking an opinion as to the
legality of such an appointment from the
| Attorney General, he decided that under an
act of Congress, approved in 1870, no officer
of the army can hold any civil position, and
| that in case he does so he forthwith ceases to
be an officer of the army. Under the cir
cumstances, therefore, Gen. Sherman does
not quite see the advisability of serving as
Secretary of War for a few weeks, at the cost
of forfeiting his present high rank as General
of the Army, and the President has desig-
mated Secretary Robson to act as Secretary
of War during the absence of Secretary
Belknap.
NOT AN ECONOMICAL SYSTEM.

Revenue Bureau does not find the new sys
TEN for the collection of the revenue very
economical one. The appropriations last
year under the old system were $500, 900,
and for this year they are S., zoo, 900, and it
is thought will reach six million, if not more.
The instructions to collectors will be ready in
about three weeks, aud will be issued in pam
phlet form. The present books now in use
by them are found ur suitable under the new
system, and an entire new set will take their
place, the forms being now devised.
INCREASE OF POSTAL RECEIPTS.
= Postmaster General Creswell finds the re-
ceipts from the general postal service increas
ing rapidly. The Sixth Auditor has just set
tied the accounts of all the postmasters
throughout the country for the quarter end
ing Dec 81, 1872, and in comparison with the
business of a like ter for the previous
year remarkable fine showing is made. The
establishment of new postofices is likewise in
creasing, an increase of 1900 being establish
ed for the quarter ending Dec. 81, 1872, over
the number established during the quarter
ending in the previous year. 9i54

"PooL sELLING" at the Buffalo races has
brought to that city on those occasions a
crowd of gamblers and black legs that any
community might well shudder to conten-
plate and which the better part of the people
of Buffalo desire to be rid of. In view of this
fact the statutes of the State have been con
su ted and it has been found to be actual
gambling, so that hereafter there will be no
pool selling at the Buffalo races. Pool selling
is not only concomtant of the Maine trot-
ting course, but the State Agricultural Socie-
ty has allowed this kind of gambling to be
conducted openly in front of its principal
stand; and the County Agricultural Societies,
receiving the patronage Of the State have al
lowed this vicious practice to be carried on
and in many cases have received a percentage
of the results as license. In moral point
of view agri ultural horse trotting is to be de.
plored, particularly when the horse trotting
and betting fraternity crowd the purely ag-
ricultural and agriculturist into some out Of
the way corner. 1t is to be hoped thai our
