A Disease With q Thousand Symp-
toms.

Dyspepsia is the most perplexIng OF
all human ailments. Its symptoms are
almost infinite in their variety, and the
forlorn and respondent victims of the
disease often fancy themselves the
prey, in turn, of every known malady.
This is due, in part, to the close SYM
patty which exists between the stom-
acl, and the brain, and in part also to
the fact that any disturbance of the d.
gestive function necessarily disorders
the liver, the bowels and the nervous
system, and affects, to some extent,
the quality of the blood. A medicine
that, like Hostetter's Ritters, not only
tones the stomach, but at the same
time controls the liver, produces reg.
uiar habit of body, braces the nerves,
purifies the fluids and ministers to a
mind diseased" is therefore the true
aud only specific for chronic indiges-
ton. Such is the operation Of this ia
nous vegetable restorative. It not
only cures dyspepsia, but also all con-
comitants and consequences. More
over, it is invaluable as preventive Of
Indigestion. No one who chooses to
take half a wineslassful of this agreea-

three times a day will ever he troubled
with oppression after eating, nausea,

tons of a want Of vIgor in the diges-

weather are immediately and perma-
nenHy relieved by the Bitters, and
persons who are constitutionally it,

situation under the genial influence
of this wholesome medicinal stimulant.

eY After series of experiments, a
committee OF scientific men in Sweden
reported that when the thermometer is
at zero iron and steel rails on railroads
are about three per cent. stronger, and
capable of bearing about that proper
ton more of weight than at sixty de-
grees Fahrenheit, or ordinary tempera-
ture. The reason assigned for the more
frequent swapping of rails in the cold
season is that they lie embedded in fro
zen ground, and the impact of the
weight on the rails and their connec-
ton is increased by this rigid support.
This conclusion runs counter to long
held opinions, and the matter should be
investigated in this country

THE New ORLEANS Posi- OFFICE
A visit to the private parlor Of the Post
Office, and conversation with those
pleasant gentlemen, Messrs. ]. c. Hays
aud Edward Selye, reveals the fact
that the Post Office defalcations are
assuming larger proportions with each
advance in the investigation.
So far as is now positively known
the trouble in the money. order depart
ment alone amounts to 81, 900. In
stamps, newspaper postage, etc, a
rough estimate by Colonel Hays places
The deficit at S3;5, 900 more.
In addition to this it has been found
that the quarterly returns of receipts
Tor newspaper postage during the past
year show an average deficit of $4,000
each. These amounts are cha. sed d.
rectly to Mr.. Douglas, cashier.
The officers engaged in the case say
our Post Office appears to have been
the worst managed that ever came be-
meath their notice. It's irregularities,
its disorder and its mismanasement,
are simply horrible, and it is this wl'cl,
retards the investigation, and renders
the summing up so difficult. Not a
day passes without their receiving let
tiers from the country Post Masters
speaking of remittances forwarded by
them, and for which no credit appears
on the books of the Post Office; scarce
ly a step is taken in the inquiry which
does not reveal some hitherto unknown
leak by which the funds of the Govern
ment have been escaping.
Appearances now indicate that the
defalcation will run mp to 100000, if
not more unless it should he found
that the Department has some cash
balance on hand with which to Offset
the deficiency. This, however, does
not seem to be at all probable.-[N New
Orleans Times.

II The Louisiana Legislature ad-
jourued on last Thursday, and our
members returned home on the Gladi-
ola and the Hodge. We care not what
croakers and cross the fence patriots
may now belch forth concerning our
sad fate and these members, for the
Democrat has no apologies to ask, no
excuses to make for it's course in the
whole matter, but sincerely believes
and knows it is in the right, and though
trodIeD down and wiped out, for the
time, by Grant and his bayoDets, our
cause is still just and holy. We well
come our Representatives, who have
been at the post of duty, back to their
homes, and in the name of the true
people of Rapides say to them, well
done good and faithful servants.

W The New Orleans Picayune |

~ The New Orleans Picayune has
two law suits on hand, aud has our
best wishes for verdict favorable to
its publishers. They have been
sued for slander-asking in each
case for 100000 damages. Ludeling,
of the Supreme Court, and Hawkins,
one of the Dnrell counters, are the
characters who bring these suits and
claim these damages. They place an
exc, bitant valuation on their cLarac-
tiers, considering the cheapness of the
article i'll this the nineteenth century.
