liver, stops the circulation of the blood hemorrhage

Liver complaint and dyspepsia are the causes Of
two-thlds of the cases of consumption. Many are
complaining with dull pain in the side the bow
els sometimes cOstive and sometimes loose tongue
coated, pain in the shoulder blade, feeling sometimes
very restless, and at other times drowsy; the food
that is AIKEN lies heavily the stomach accompani-
ed with acidity and belching Of wind. These symp-
toms usually originate from disordercd condition Of
the stomach torpid liver. Persons affected if
they take one two heavy cods and il the cough in
these be suddenly stopped the lungs, liver and
stomach clog, and remain torpid and inactive, and
before the patient is of his situation the lungs

inevitable result.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which
does not contain any OPIUM nor anything calculated
to check a cough suddenly.

a. A young man at South Adams recently
courted ayoung lady, making her sundry pres
ents of jewelry, as he was in duty bound to do.
Now, after abort estrangement, he sues the
young woman to recover their value, t1usteeing
her wages at the mill where she is employed.
Miss Nelson has played the character of Ju-
let so much that she is getting tired of it. She
has PLAYED it about six hundred and eighteen
times, with some two hundred different Romeos
of all ages from eighteen to twenty, besides a
number of women Romeos whom she found it
difficult to appreciate.
The other day the National House voted on
the question of increasing the pay of members.
VI the Democrats 45 voted for the increase and
80 against it; of the Republicans SO voted for
and 70 against it. In other words, half of the
Democrats were for it, and two-thirds of the
Republicans against it. When the Democratic
papers howl about the effort of Congress to in
crease its pay, remember that vote.
The following is rather surprising language
to come from the New York Observer: 1--WE
venture to predict that in ten years or less from
this time, if the Tweeds and Connollys, the
Garveys and Keysers, the Stokes and Fosters,
the Scannels and Kings, are suffered to escape
the penalties of the law, society will push the
code aside and visit thieves and murd erers with
swift punishment, sure as fate and just as the
judgments of Heaven
A German residing in a village near Hanover
was recently told by a quack doctor that his
wife's govt could be cured by super-heat. In
spite Of the woman's protests, he took her and
placed her in his bakers oven, and by the time
he thought the process had continued suffi-
GENTLY long the woman was found a half char
red corpse. The man has been arrested for
homicide by carelessness;" which is certainly
mild way of putting it.
A Washington special from usually we'll
informed source, says the popular verdict there
on Colfax's defence as submitted to the Poland
Committee, is not universally favorable to the
Vice President. His personal friends claim
that he has made out his case, but others,
among whom are prominent Republicans of
both Houses, insist that his theory is not as
strong as it should be. The kindly feeling to-
ward the Vice President is fully maintained.

So far as can be seen from the outside the
average official connected with the postal SER
vice emulates the Independent style of the
Boston postmaster and exercises an absolute
discretion in respect to the movement ofmails
under his control with an utter disregard of
any central authority. There is, we believe.
ostensibly an official somewhere, who pur-
ports to have general supervision of the service
for New England. Ifhe be capable of rene
dying these abuses he should be inspired from
some source to do it; if he be incapable, the
sooner his place is filled by some efficient
man the better. The Postmaster General
should see to this matter and make his de-
partment something else than circumlocu-
ton Office. A little sharp discipline is need
ed to cure our mails of their present vagrant
tendencies.
1t is but just to say that our own Post office
is most agreeable exception to the general
imbecility which prevails in this department,
and our postmaster is energetic in his efforts
to redress these grievances; but his province
IS circumscribey and he can only protest.
There are other officials who palpably neglect
their duties or lack capacity to perform them.
A little investigation" might be wholesome
In the name of a long suffering public we de-
mand that something be done.

What Time has Tnuxb, Us,

1t has taken two thousand years to teach the world
that to sustain the body in its conflict with disease
not to help disease by weakening the body, is the
true end of medicine. We have the lesson by heart
last, however. We know, for example, that tearing
doses of aloes, saltsaap croton OIL calomel colcynt
&C., are the best allies that facilitating malady can
have in its assaults on the human frame; and that
medicine Hostetter Stomach Bitters which strength
ems all the bodily powers and rallies the sinking con-
sttution, is the most powerful antagonist of the
bfc principle, whatever it may be- that lies at the
long time in reaching u.s. but it is invaluable. We can
now control and cure DYSPEPSIA bilious disturbance
constipation, rheumatism, nervousness, and many
other painful complaints once considered incurable
with this admirable corrective.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The frienos of woman suffrage are very
much encouraged by the receipt of numerous
petitions from all parts of the State signed
by women who want the ballot. There are
those who in the face of the fact that the
women of many towns are substantially
unanimous in favor of the reform, still repeat
in parrot fashion the notable untruth that
''women don't want to vote" Whenever
the arguments on both sides have been fairly
presented to the women of any community,
they are almost invariably in favor of a con-
stitutional amendment giving them the pow
er to vote. PENuA1Jow
