A Manual Of Health.

An edition of between nine and ten millions
of copies of a very useful work is now ready for
gratuitous distribution and can be had for tho
asking at any drug store in the United states
the British Colonies, Spanish America or Bra-
zil. The work referred to is Hostettcr's Alma
nae for 1874. The medical portion of 1t treats OF
the various ailments to which the human sys-
tenn is subject, and sets forth the peculiar prop
critics of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-the pur-
est and best tonic at present known-as pre-
servative of health and strength, and as arem-
edy for debility and disease. The Almanac is
printed in all the principal languages of the
civilized world, and reaches larger number OF
families and individuals than any other medi-
cal treatise that ever issued from the press. No
man or woman who has q due regard for that
chocsst of heavens blessings, bodily vigor,
should fail to the plain, simple and convincing
articles which this truly practical publication
contains. The miscellaneous matter is varied,
instructive and amusing, and the calendar de-
partment copious and comprehensive. Hostel
ter's Almanac, is, in short, o household con-
Venience adapted TO the use of all classes ana
callings, The Farmer the planter, the miner,
the merchant the mechanic, the laborer, the
professional man, all need it and to invalids
of both sexes it is literally an article OF prime
necessity. The .medical technlcalltles Whlcn
render so many.medieal treatises intended for
popular use unintelligibietoth the genera reader,
have been carefully avoided in this pamphlet.
All is clear, explicit forcible, and reconcllable
with reason and common sense. ,.,.
The proprletOrs, Messrs, Hostetter q Smlth
Pittsburgh Pa, on receipt OF two cent stamp,
will forward a COPY by mail to aty person who
cannot procure one in his neighborhood,

Yesterdays dispatches state that
the confirmation of Attorney General
Williams as Chief Justice still hangs
fire in the Senate, the judiciary COM
mitteo thus far refusing to confirm
him. Tho telegraph says that just
about the time favorable report
was to have been made to the Senate
telegram making a serious charge
connected with alleged attempts to
control political rnattors in Oregon,
was received from Oregon by the
judiciary Committee, and the charac-
ter of signers caused the Committed
to ask that the nomination might be
recommitted. After consideration
they have asked for power to send
for persons and papers, and chances
now are that no report can be made
until after recess.

A BREVET FARMER.

A brevet farmer, wanting to "cul-
tivato the grange, sends a long com
munication to county paper, full
of high-sounding phrases, ond saw
agely assaulting the "grasping crew
who live upon the sweat OF the agri-
culturist." He tells the farmers that
they have a long fight before them,
and finally, as a suitable conclusion
TO his article, quotes tho following
stanza
We must not hope 10 be movers.
And 10 gathertho ripe, gold ears,
Until we have first been sewers,
And watered the fuTows with tears,
Upon which tho practical editor
remarks "The writer OF these verses,
we Judge, is not a granger. Corn,
lot us inform him, is not mown. II
is plowed up and threshed. II if
not sown, but grows wild in tho um.
hragoous forest. And, furthermore,
the farmer who should set out II
water his furrows with tears would
find, in duo season, that IL couldnf
be successfully dono without NOR,
irrigation than the human form il
capable Of giving. This is severe
on the ambitious writer, though {
deserved rebuke 10 his hypocricy.

CAN'T GET HIM UP.


We claim to be, to some extent, a
philanthropist. At least we always
feel the truth Of Byron's beautiful
couplet which says in part
"Hero is a tear for those who love me,
And a smile for those who hate"
Now we have every reason TO be-
lieve that the Oregonia'a loves us
at least to the extent Of treating us
respectfully and kindly. This being
the case we naturally feel pang of
sorrow when any untoward circum-
stance interferes with the happiness
of the Oyegonian, Our bowels Of
compassion have recently been moved
at witnessing the dilema in which our
friend the 0regonidn has become en-
tangled in regard to the appointmentof
Geo. II. Williams as Chief Justice of
the U. S. Supreme Court. When the
telegraph first announced the nominaI
tion of Williams for the position OF
Supreme Judge the Oregonidn went
off into panegyrics in expressing its
qualification over the news Figura!
lively speaking it swallowed old
Flaxbrake without pinning back his
ears or taking either of the four or
five distinct crooks out of his colossal
corpus. In fact We were surprised at
the Oregoatian'S manifestations of Joy
over tho appointment of a meAber Of
"the ring" to such an exa'1sd position
and we knew that in the course Of
time allthose laudatory remarks would
have to be taken back, Oh explained
away. But one short week elapsed
until Williams, then Attorney Gener-
al, used his official power to shield
the repeaters and brihers whom the
Oregonidn had labored for months TO
bring to justice. To do this effectual-
ly it was necessary for Williams 10 Sc
cure the removal of Addison G, Gibbs,
a friend of the Oregonian, from tho
position of U. S, District Attorney
for Oregon and at the same time pro-
cure the appointment of Rufus Nal
lory, member of the ring, to that
position. This action on the part Of
the Attorney General was "the most
unkindest cut of all" and our Portland
contemporary boils over with indigna-
tion at the outrage. 1t even goes 50
far as to arraign Williams for his
fragrant, if not criminal interference
in tho course of justice. But it has
not yet suffered sufficient humiliation
at the hands of tho ring to take a
stand with the people and against the
corruptionists who control the govern
ment, commencing with Grant and
extending down to, the Portlahd Gus
tom House. 1t was unfortunate for
the Oregonian that 1t gdlped down
tho Williams nomination in such hot
haste, Under existing circumstances
he is terrible load on that papers
stomach. II is no wonder that il
heaves and retchos to eject the loath-
some norsel. The whole exhibition
reminds US Of a chicken with tumble
bug in its throat Still, as we stated
at the outset, we sympathige with the
OregOnia's and trust that it may sue
ceed in clearing its throat of the Of
fensive lodgment and assuming q
more Independent stand where it will
be out OF reach Of the corruptionisti
with whom it is at war.
