Suggestions for Summer.

1t 10 Of great importance that the system should
be in a vigorous conditi on when the hot weather
commences. The effects Of high temperature
upon enfeebled frame are always more or less
disastrous. The loss of substance and the declen-
sion Of rervous power, occasioned by excessive
heat, can only be compensated by the active,
healthful, and regular exercise Of all the bodily
functions by which the waste of nature is replen-
ished and the vital energies renewed The great
utility Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a means
Of toning, invigoratng and regulating the organs
Of the body, is universally acknowledged. AS a
tonic it stimulates the tagging appetite and ac-
CELEBRATES digestion; corrective it neutralizes
acidity Of the stomach and relieves iatulency; as
an Alternative and mild aperient 1t regulates the
liver and the bowels as an anodyne it promotes
tranquil sleep; as a wholesome stimulant it i'm
parts firmness and elasticity to the relaxed and
trembling nerves, and as blood depurent it puri-
fes the vital stream. The value OF such a specific
to the weak and debitated is beyond all estimate.
To invalids wilted down by the sutry heat OF mid
summer, it is as refreshing and vitalizing as the
cool night dew to the sun-scorched flowers. Com
posed Of vegetable elements only, with basis of
pure diusve stimulant it is safe and palatable as
well as medicinal In fever and ague districts and
epidemic disease, it is considered the best safe
guard against maarious infection, and the speedi-
est remedy for intermittent and remittent fevers.

End Of the Cholera Season at Nashville
A dispatch from Nashville saws ::

A dispatch from Nashville says
'"The Robertson Association, which
has done much toward the relief of the
INDECENT sick, met recently and declared
that as the cholera had disappeared
from Nashville its mission had been
fulfilled. 1t recommended that all its
members return to their respective
avocations, to the end that not only
they but other citizens might afford
employment to those in need of it.
Since June "a it has extended aid to
five hundred and fortyeight families in
the city, of which Alb were colored and
1876 white, and to over 100 families out
side of it. Judge Ferris. of the Probate
Court, dismissed six physicians en-
ployed to wait upon the poor of the
country attacked with cholera, their
services being no longer necessary. 1t
is expected that the Mayor will dis
charge all physicians employed by che
city, in consequence of the abatement
of the disease, which is considered by
the physicians to be about at an end,
with very few new cases appearing.
"Business has been resumed to a
great extent, and it is anticipated that
everything will be running as smoothly
as if we had never been visited by the
prevailing epidemic. A good many
country people who have been alarmed
at the appearance of the disease in their
respective localities are now coming
into the city, thereby hoping to escape
its ravages. Reports from various low
lands in Middle Tennessee are dis
couraging. Out of negro population
of two hundred in New Bethel, two
miles south of Nashville, one hundred
are left.

The Difference.

Meet fellow when the thermometer
is up among the nineties, and you see
him mopping the sweat from his face,
digging the dust from his eyes, his
paper collar wilted, his linen coat streak
ed with sweat, and he exclaims "Hot
Why, l never saw such weather !" He
tells you how the rubber in his sus-
penders has melted and run together /;
how he could wiring pints of water from
his clothing how he has lost five
pounds of flesh in ten days how the
sun has crisped his boots and ruined
his eyesight, and he starts off with the
remark /: "Never saw anything like it p
Now meet lady, and what do you see :?
Clean white dress, dainty collar, jaunty
tie, hair nicely combed, eyes bright and
smiling, no dust-everything as tidy
and orderly as if the weather was Oc-
tober. She doesn't hurry bit, stops
now and then right in the sun, cuts the
air with her parasol as if she had no
use for it, and always manages to just
escape the furious cloud of dust coming
up or down the street. There are no
inquiries about the state of the ther-
mometer, no longing looks at soda
water signs and ice wagons, and no ap-
plication of the handkerchief. She
does not hurry, does not dash for the
shade of six-foot awning and hang to
the spot waiting for a cloud to pass over
the sun, and when she takes a car it
seems to matter little whether all the
windows are up or whether they are
down. How on earth do they manage
it?

Work and Charity.

Lord Derby, in presiding at the re-
cent annual public examination of the
Manchester Schools for the Deaf and
Dumb, said that only those who are
practically conversant with what are
called charitable institutions can realize
the immense difficulty of making sure
that you are really doing more good
than harm. Nature says to most of us,
"Work or you will starve." Humanity
cannot bear to witness starvation or
suffering, and we will do what we can
to remit or to Tighten the penalty when
it has been incurred but it is not al
ways easy to do that without lessening
the stimulus to exertion, and so indi-
rectly creating more suffering than you
relieve. Everywhere we are met with
the old paradox-the old difficulty
how those that deserve help least often
want it most; yet how difficult it is to
get that help to those that want it most
without causing reasonable and actual
discouragement to others who have
struggled hard to avoid wanting it, and
who have succeeded, with infinite
trouble, in just holding their own. 1t
is a difficulty that meets us in various
shapes. Even in families, what is COM
moner than father or mother, or pos
sibly two or three brothers or sisters,
beggared in the attempt-perhaps an
unsuccessful attempt-to rescue some
one-the black sheep of the family
from the consequences of his own folly =?
Lord Derby then went on to point out
that, in the institution in which he was
then speaking, there seemed to be al
most freedom from the risk of which he
had been speaking--the risk of charity

Our OCEAN COMMERCE..

No subject before Congress, not even all
the appropriation bills, Is Of greater import
ance tU the country than some practicable
movement to restore our portion OF the ocean
carrying trade, that the international com
meree which is sustained by our products,
and our demand for those Of other countries,
should be borne to and fro, across the oceans
in American-built bottoms.
The defeat Of Mr. Shellabarger's bill week
or two ago, and the defeat OF the Australian
bill yesterday are no evidences that Congress
Is Oblivious TO the wants OF the country; but
rather indicate that legislation will yet be
made for Its entire interest rather than for
special lines.
There is evidently but one proper course,
and thAtis TO begin at the foundation Of any
Structure TO make Ii permanent just so with
our commerce; unless we begin by the crca-
ton OF steamships suited In every way to
sustain competition with our rivals, sub
sldles or other aids will bs OF little conse-
quence. They caa neither create nor sustain
commerce unless by such heavy draius US the
people will not bear.

Navy, have reported bill for the creation OF

TWEED,s TRIBUSE,

The evidence Is becoming pretty strong and
,ircumstantial that VIM. VI. Tweed Is the gen.
tlcman who holds the pursc-strinss of the New
York Tribune. Ever since his trial began
every article in that journal, founded by
Horace Greeley" and edited by the gentle.
men whom he trained for the task, has been
calculated to secure his acqulttal, aud let him
90 scot-free with his plunder.
In an article yesterday ii demands that the
humbug" Of trying him shall he stopped. 81
And why1 Because, the argument runs, he
vas In political partnership with Thomas
Murphy and the custOm-house organization
in the late campaign, and the year before will

This Is entirely too transparent. II the
Tribune Is sincerely anxious that this great
criminal should be punished, why does IL
seek to let him escape because he was, as II
is alleged, working with the "custom-h house
organiZationi" II the Tribune is true to
itself, that Is only AN additional reason why
It should demand his conviction, and not ad-
yocate the very thing that he desires to he
advocated. The Tribune Ia merely raising a
false Issue, and endeavorlng to blind the pub
lie. But the game will not work.
The trick Is a silly and senseless one. The
allegation that he was secretly aiding Iir.
