Our BODILY nnf.r1nitis.,-Phvsical iufrn

Our BODILY AnGarmitiep,-Physical infirm-
tiles are the lot of all, Millions are always
sick. No man, woman or child is uniformly in
perfect health. Much, however, of the sickness
and suffering which render life a burden to so
many of our fellow beings is due to earelessness
and neglect. A mighty antid0te to the leading
causes Of disease has been provided. It il as
harmless as it is efficient. No poisonous drug
enters into its composition. 1t is an Undecided
stimulant, tonic and aperient, of which every
ingredient is vegetable. This unexccptionable
preventive and restorative medicine ia not g a
new thing under the SUM-" Hostetterss Stomach
Bitters will soon have been before the world a
quarter of a century; and it is not toa much to
aver that thousands, aye, tens of thousands, are
now using it who would have been III their
graves years ago had they not been strengthened
and sustainedbyth Jul wholesome stimulant. The
rapidity 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 disorders. The sensation of
languOr, the sick headache, the nervousness,
the indispOsiti0n to e%xertion, the nausea, the
confusion Of brain, the physical debility, which
are intended to premonish lis of the approach
OF serious danger, are invariably removed by a
few doses Of the Bitters. The fame of the
preparation as a genuine specific for dyspepsia,
bilious complaints, maiarious fcyers, rheuma-
tism and chronic debility, ia as wide as the
world; and in these days of infamous charla-
tanlsm, when fierce cathartics, that rob tho
invalid of the last remnants of his strength, are
advertised as invigorants ", it is indeed a
blessing to mankind that Hostetter's stomach
Bitters are everywhere procurable, and every
where popular.

that promises of offices were made to

the State by the actual vote cast, and
that an attempt to show n different re-
suit was made even after the election

the canvass was entered into by the

adoption of any means necessary for

that partisans supporting the fusion

that the obstacles thrown in the way of

MARRIED,-A soldier whohad
won and lost five wives, when he depart
ell this life in 1885, left Il widow to la
ment her fourth bereavement. In 1868
there died at Florence one Elizabeth
Mast, who had Outlived no less than
seven spOuses, although she had reached
her seventhieth year when she claimed
the priests good offices for the last time.
On her deathbed this modern rival of
the Wife of Bath was puzzled to de-
eide which Of her seven partners most
deserved to be her companion in death,
and after much cogitatfon ndbalancine
OF merits and dement's, solved the diff
cult question by desiring that she might
be laid by the side of her fifth husband.
Martha Blewit, after following eight
husbandser to the grave, was buried
by her ninth in 1861, the d~isconsOlate
widow doubtless deriving much comfort
from the text, :" last of all, the woman
died also" If st. Jeromme is to beliey-
ed, as OF course he is, there once lived a
woman who would have laughed at the
moderation of those other Sex who stop
ped at seven OF eight husbands, for she
buried twenty=One, and then found q
man brave enough to become her TWEEN

bliss with twenty fair ones in turn,

DISTRICT COURT.-The Grand Jury
was discharged on the 18th inst, having
found fifteen true bills of Indictment.
The District Attorney filed fifteen in
formations. The Court assigned nearly
all the attorneys in attendance to the
defence of some fifteen Ortwenty colored
prisoners, who stated their inability to
supply legal counsel. The Court so far
has been engaged chiefly in hearing
arguments or exceptions and motions in
civil cases, and arrangements in criminal

nately the accused and their friends out
numbered the posse nearly two to one,
and being equally well armed succeeded
in making their escape, after a brief par
ley WITH reviewers, IN WHICH Two Oh the
posse were wounded. Had the latter
been armed with guns, instead of pistols
only, the result would have been quite
different but as the sortie has undeubt-
eddy caused the accused to seek green
fields and pastures fresh" it is not prob
able that st. Landry will have any more
trouble from them.
