Our Bodily NnffFmities.-Physieal infirm-
tiles are the lot of all. Millions aro3 always
sick. No man, or child is uniformly in
perfect health. Much, however, OF the ickness
and suffering which render life a burden to so
many of our fellow beings is due to carelessness
and neglect, A mighty antidote to the leading
causes of disease has been provided, 1t is as
harmless as it is efficient, No poisonous drug
enters into its composition. 1t is an indebted
stimnlant, tonic and aperient, of which every
ingredient is vegetable. This unexeeptiOnable
preventive and restorative medicine is not ga
new thing under the sum- Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will soon have been before the world q
quarter of century; and it is not too much to
aver that thousands, aye, tens of thousands are
now using it who would have been in their
graves years ago had they not been strengthened
and stistainedby this wholesome stimnlant. The
rapidly with which minor ailments often be
come, when neglected. obstinate diseases, is
well known. This tonic is famous for the
Immediate check which it gives to these
breeders Of deadly disarders. The sensation of
IangHor, the sick headache, the nervousness,
the indisposition to exeTtion, the nausea, the
confusion of brain, the physical debility, which
are intended to %premonish us uf the approach
of serious danger, are invariably removed hy 4
few doses of the Bitters. The fame Of the
preparation as a genuine specific for dyspepsia
bilious complaints, malarious feyers, rheuma-
tistn and chronic debility, is as wide as the
world; and in these days Of infamous ellarla
~taaisEa, when fierce eafhaFtics, that rob the
invalid of the last RInnants of his strength, are
advertised as ilvigoranfs @, it is indeed a
blessing osfnaflkind that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters are everywhere procurabIe, aud every
where nafufaf.

Murder Will Out

A mystery of long standing has re-
Gently been solved in the valley Of the
San Joaquin River, in California, and
in a strangely accidental way. Capt.
BiSsel, a surveyor, was laying out a
ticket of land near Antioch, and chanc-
ing to thrust a staff into the earth, near
a branch of San Joaquin, he felt some
hard substance, which proved to he a
skull. On removing it from the cling
ing soil, he discovered a bullet hole just
back of the ear, and in searching for
the remaining bones, five skeletons were
discovered, lying near together, evident
ly those of two men, q woman, and two
children. How they came there was q
mystery to the surveyor, but an old
resident, familiar with every phase of
the history Of the country, was able to
give what is acceptable as the true ex-
PLANTATION. Twelve years ago, a native
of Ohio, named Truman, mined in the
neigborhoOd, was fortunate, and in q
comparatively short period amassed
$4,000 in gold dust. A few years after
he made this fortune he sent for his
and consisted of his. wife. a grown up
son, and two little children. When
Truman decided on returning to his ma
tive State and there investing his for
tune, he left the diggings and came to
Stockton. There he purchased d flat
bottomed boat in which to take his
family to San Francisco. They started
from Stockton, but never reached San
Francisco, nor was any clew, up to Capt
Bissel's discovery, ever obtained OF
their fate. Now the general impression
is that the remains found on the San
Joaquin are those of the Truman fami-
Y. The theory of the murder is that
Truman's departure, hurried down the
San Joaquin and concealed themselves.
and that by them the party was fred
upon and killed, and the bodies thrown
in the mud. The sediment of the river
covered them in the course of time; fol
the skeletons were found but a few in
ches beneath the surface when discover
ed by Capt Bissel.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Wednesday, January LIST, being a
legal holiday, there was no session Of
the Legislature.
On Thursday, the I'd inst, the time
of the Senate was principally occupied
in discussing the appropriation bill,
providing fer the payment of the ex-
penses of the extra session of the
Legislature. In the House a substitute
to a resolution instTucting our Senators
and requesting our Representatives in
Congress to vote for a law securing the
civilrights of all classes of citizens of
the United States, passed unanimously.
The Senate bill appropriating $19,5O0 to
enable the State Auditor to settle with
tax collectors, was passed. The ap-
pointment of various committees was
announced by the Speaker, and other
business done, but not finished.
On the Sd inst, in the Senate, the bill
providing for the payment of the ex-
penses incurred by the extra session of
the Legislature, passed. In the House,
Senate bill relating to police juries,
passed. Other business was done in
both Houses but not finished.
On the 4th inst, in the Senate, no
conclusions were reached. The same
in the House.
On the 9th inst, in the Senate, a reso-
luton was passed, inquiring by what
authority the Attorney General applied
for, and under what law the judge of
the Superior Court issued an injunction
restraining the Auditor and Treasurer
from paying the interest on certain
State bonds. The extra session Of the
Senate adjourned sine die, and the SEN
ate was called to order in regular ses-
sion. Mr.. Merritt, secretary of the SEN
ate, resigned, and Mr.. P. H. BechteI
assistant secretary, was elected in his
stead. In the House the bill making
an appropriation to pay the expenses of
the extra session, passed. The extra
session adjourned sine die, and the
House organized in regular session,
without making any changes in it's
officers.
On the 9TH inst, both Houses met in
joint session to count the votes for Gov.
ernor and Lieutenant Governor, as re-
quired by law. The count stood in all
the parishes, 72,s9O for Kellogg, and 55,,
249 for McEnery; 70,1S7 for Antoine, and
57,568 for Penn. Kellogg and Antoine
were proclaimed Governor and Lieuten.
ant Governor for the nextfo years, and
are to be installed next. Monday. T1if
parish figures in the count as giving
McEnery 2,347 votes, and Kellogg 1885,
votes. There is a difference of sonnet five
hundred votes between this count ant
the count made here; but, it must be re.
membered, " some five hundred mel
were compelled to vote the Democratic
ticket on pain of a repetition of the terri
bic massacre of 1865" and of course jus.
ice required that the count should b
made as the parties wished to vote.
