WONDERFUL STATEMENTS. - Unless
hundreds of our most responsible citizens
have conspired to delude the community,
a medicine has at last been introduced
which is specific for almost every human
ailment, not involving the entire paraly-
cation or partial destruction of the organ
or organs in which it exists. These wit
nesses testify lin some instances from their
own personal experience, in others on be-
half of others), that dyspepsia, liver
complaint, remittent and intermittent
fevers, nervous debility, and numberless
other diseases, are rapidly and radically
cured by this new remedy. 1t halls from
California, and has in two years over
leaped all competitors among advertised
tonics, and become par excellence the naedi-
cine of the people. California is an excep-
tional region. Its vegetable products,
especially those Of medicinal nature,
have no equivalent elsewhere, and 1t is
from the choicest of these that DR.. j.
Walker prepares his famous alcoholics
VINEGAR BITTERs, the invaluable invigor-
ant, nutriant, laxative and Alternative to
which we refer. Those who have tested
the curative properties of this marvellous
preparation pronounce it the most COM
prehensive remedy ever offered to man
kind, and assert that there is no inorganic
disease which it will not subdue. AS a
family medicine, we can recommend it
without reserve.

Preparing Tobacco Beds.

A VIRGINIA Farmers Club, discussing
the proper manner Of preparing tobacco
beds for sowing, agreed that as matter
of economy burning should be dispensed
with, except on such land as actually re-
quired it; not that burning was of no use,
but not necessary, and by emitting it
much wood and labor would be saved.
The following plan, without burning, has
long been successfully practiced by
members of the club: Select place in
woods of original growth, as far as pos
STOLE from arabic lands and old plant
beds; grub, and clean off all leaves and
trash; then coulter the bed deep and
well, turning as little of the surface soil
as possible. Sow / 900 pounds Of guano
per acre, and rake it in, leaving the sur
face of the bed level Sow the seed one
pipeful to every ten square yards, tread
them in and cover well, first with stable
manure, then with brush. Would resow
the first Of March, and hasten the plants,
if necessary, by frequent applications of
fertilizers. Would not select very moist
places for plant beds relying on deep cul-
tivation for moisture. To prevent fly,
would use kerosene, mixed with lime and
guano- Fly would not injure plants while
in a rapidly growing condition.
We may remark that in the West, where
guano is practically unattainable on &C
count of its cost, the pulverized manure
of poultry of pigeons will answer the
purpose as well.

A Leading Democratic Newspaper
Admits COlfax's Complete Vindi-
cation.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 9.
The Courier, Journal tomorrow morning
will contain the following double-leaded
editorial:
"We have taken the trouble to review
carefully the case Of Mr.. Colfax, as re-
corded in the Congressional investiga-
ton, and compare it with the elaborate
defense delivered by the late Vice-Presl-
dent at South Bend last Saturday. The
result of our researches is that he has
given successful and satisfactory expla-
nation of the entire matter. 1t will re-
quire closer analysis than that which
we have made, or are capable of making,
to alter our opinion that in this business
Mr.. Colfax has been very much abused
and wronged, and we are the reader to
allow this since we have never been
tempted and could not be induced to sac
rit1ce the private character of any man to
partisan interest or prejudice. In doing
what we believe to be an act of personal
justice, we desire to be full, explicit ana
ungrudging, and therefore we shall not
shadow the congratulations which we
have to offer conspicuous political adj
versary by any of those minor disparage-
ments which might be sanctioned by a
less generous criticism"

The shield of Health.

Debility opens the door disease. Nor Is this all

progress to the citadel of life comparatively easy
Therefore bar the door, and, if possible keep it
barred; or if the enemy has already secured foot

ture to drive out the foe of health and life. The
means of doing this is within every ones reach.
Brace up the physique with Hostetters Stomach Bit
when there elements in the air you breathe
or the you drink that morbid and unwhole-
some. This is barring the door. Epidemcs and en-
denies wiz assail in vain the living fortress that is

But if this precautionary has been neglected
the seeds of disease can be elected by the samepo,

purifying properties of this vital elixir render it a
most formidable antagonist of all facilitating dsor-
ders The rapdity and certainty with which it van
pushes fever and ague, rheumatism bilious collie

degree to the strength it imparts to the muscular

now in his possession. At the breakfast
table, when the 81 900 bill was received
in June, Mr. Matthews swears Mr.. Col
fax remarked: "This is the second letter
| have received from this comparative
stranger" the first being the one in the
previous April. The receipt OF this
money is corroborated further by
the testimony of a sister OF MIR.
Colfax living in Iowa, who says she re-
members of her mother writing to her
about it. Ricketseh Burroughs, of South
Bend; Hon. w. A. Howard, of Michigan;
Theodore p Haug hey, President of the
Indianapolis National Bank; Oliver Hoyt,
of New York, the eminent Methodist
layman-all these testify to the fact that
Mr.. Colfax had spoken to them of the
Nesbitt remittances in 1868. The testl-
mony on this point is all on one side; to
disbelieve it we must be willing to be-
lieve the family of Mr.. Colfax the plot
tiers of scheme of perjury utterly UNI
paralleled, and that Mr.. Colfax himself,
as far back as 1868, travelled around the
country preparing witnesses to extricate
himself from peril never dreamed OF by
any one
The relations between Mr.. Nesbitt and
Dir. Colfax, and whether Mr.. Colfax ever
did any favor for Mr. N. in return for bis
bounty, are answered in the speech; but
these points are not german to the main
issue. 1t is sufficient to say that blr. Mes
bitt explicitly relieved Mr.. Colfax from
the mourning of any obligation by the &C
ceptance Of his remittances, and that
what Mr.. Colfax did for the heirs of his
deceased patron in the Postofice Depart
1nSfIcp
decent man would for q moment question.
Mr.. Creswell, in his own handwriting,
exonerates Mr.. Colfax from the slightest
impropriety, saying he had done only
what is done daily by other members of
Congress without exciting word of
comment. The case of Mr.. Colfax can
be rested on this review of the evidence,
and he may be satisfied that after the
pubic mind has cooled from its fever, he

hatred which at least we have never sought

hatred which at least we have never sought
to appease. Whatever else these chival-
rous foes may assert, they can never say
that we have tried to lessen their animos-
ity, or have been otherwise than
proud of their resentment We, in fact,
have merely fallen in for share of the
virulence with which the Republican
party has been assailed. After heavy
siege, that party to-day stands firmly es-
tablished in the confidence of the people.
Its foes are sleepless, but the people are
always just; and, luckily for ali who
have the right on their side, the people
have habit of talking over public affairs
among themselves, and are by no means
led blindly by the newspapers. They
will not condemn great party because
Of the offenses of a few of its members.
They will not believe, at the bidding of a
few needless journalists, that Schuyler
Colfax is as bad as Tweed. The Repub-
lican party will yet perform great services
for the country, and live to inf1ict re-
newed disappointments on the disorderly
and famished faction which calls itself
by new name, but which is essentially
the Democratic party of lo64.-N 7.

English Children.

The newborn English aristocrat re-
ceives, as soon as born, q little bed
with hard mattress. From its earliest
age, it is taken, warmly wrapped, into
the fresh air. After the first year its
meals are reduced to three, and this rule
is so unchangeable that no child thinks
of requiring anything more and from
this time its food is rich milk and bread
and butter, and good meat. After
breakfast it remains several hours in
the open air, and then sleeps. Never
are English children entrusted to the
care of a young nursery maid but to
an elderly, experienced person, under
whose direction they constantly are. As
