1t is difficult to ruin a strong constitution. To
weaken, inJure or cripple this source of physical
vigor and endurance is an easier task, and may
always be accomplished by positively disregard
ing or violating certain hygeian laws, the observ-
ance of which is essential to the well-being of the
body and to the s-ustainment of that vital force
by which it is animated and supported. But q
good constitution is wonderfully elastic, and even
after it has been very hardly dealt with by its pos
SCISSOR, all its pristine vigor may be recovered if
the proper course of treatment is adopted. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters may be Justly denomi-
mated a constitutional tonic. Not only does it i'm
prove the appetite, stimulate the stomach, tone
and regulate the disordered liver and bowels and
steady the trembling nerves, but 1t also land this
is its most important effect restores the staminaI
strength of the system, where it has given way
under the pressure of excessive labor, exposure,
privation, acute disease, last living, a foul atmos-
phere, extraordinary heat or any other cause. In
summer the constitution is often severely tried
by a long continuance of hot weather. Nothing
tells more heavily upon the sources Of vital activ-
;y than solar heat, and hence the expediency of
recruiting and replenishing them with q whole
some vegetable tonic, like Hostetter's Bitters,
during the summer months.

magazine is enlarged, beginning with the 4e

quite marvellous, considering the trifing price
asked for it. It also brings out a new Chrome
called Wealth of he Woods, representing q
Wood Moss, with a cluster of Autumn Leaves
in the background, and a delicate little Vine
with green leaves, and richly-colored Winter

A WASHINGTON dispatch states that counsel
for the defendants in the Credit Mobilier suits
win, in a few weeks, file a demurrer for a bill in
equity, taking the ground that the act under
which the bill is drawn is unconstitutional,
and that Congress cannot enact for the benefit
of the Government what is denied to indi-
yidual suitors hat the act is in direct viola
ton of the existing laws under which the de-
PENDANTS have a right to ask for protection,
and until they are placed on an equality with
the plaintiff, there can be no equitable pro-
ceedings. This will carry the case to the .Su-
preme Court. It is admitted that the objec-
ton of the defendants may quash further pro-
ceedings. -. Postmaster-General Cresweu has
examined the postal code, to see if it would
admit of the free transmission of news
papers exchanges and of newspapers
published within the county, and has
come to an adverse concLlsion-.-..

interest of spectators. ".....A Washington
dispatch informs us that q solution of the
Louisiana problem is offered by the Congress
men of the st. Louis Convention who have re-
turned from their visit to New Orleans. They
propose that a new election be held, under the
supervision of a commission appointed by
Congress, and that, in the meantime, the State
be put under military rule.
THE parties who bid for the contracts for
Indian supplies, and h allege that while
their bids were lower than others they were
not accepted, intend to carry the matter before
Congress. The Secretary of the Treasury
has directed the Assistant Treasurer at New
York to give notice that during the month OF
June he will purchase $500, 600 bonds ON the
first and third Wednesdays each, and will sell

AN ONO BoRG1A.-Mrs. Earhart, an
old woman, wrinkled, gray and ugly,
has been arrested at Germantown, O.,
for a stunning catalogue of crimes. 1t
is charged that during the last twenty
years she has poisoned her father, two
of her children, her sons wife and two
of his children. Scientific experts are to
go to work right away on the exhumed
bodies of all these moldering victims,
and in the meantime the authorities will
take testimony on the charge that she
burned her uncle's barn about five years
ago.

letter says that the war against Henry
Ward Beecher, on the charge of his
improper conduct with women, contin-
ues, to the great injury of his paper, the
Christian Union, the circulation of
which has fallen off wonderfully within
the last few weeks. His friends urge
him to openly denounce the statements
as false, and, in all probability, he will
do SO before many days, although he is
himself opposed to such a purse
Theo. Tilton, and Bowen, editor of the
Independent, are solely responsible for
the ISLANDERS, and, as Bowen sits in
Beecher's church, the feeling against
him runs high.

Trouble with the Postal Cards.

The ~alacrity with which the American
mind seizes upon the postal cards,
wherever they have penetrated, as a
cheap and safe method of rending the
peace of happy families, shows that
there is fun and misery ahead. There
was a young man of Utica, q nice young
fellow, Just home from college for a lit
tie vacation his father destined him
for the ministry. Well, a postal card
was a bill for wine, gin and cigars. The
father got hold of it, of course, and how
much stock does he take in his sons
piety now? A Philadelphia gentleman,
of known probity and correct business
habits, was pleasantly informed the
other day, by postal card, that, Gun
less that small bill for washing was set
tied, Mrs. Mulloney would bring suit
before an alderman" Poor man, it cut
him to the heart, for his clerks saw it,
and he feels like a sheep thief. Another
Philadelphia man received this suggest
i've epistle :
DEAR Gus: I will be on at 6 p. m.
Put a bottle of Roederer on ice. Yours,
~ j. T. Vs.
-" Gus is a church deacon, a man of
stainless reputation, and an exemplary
Christian he doesn't know "Rederer"
from fusel oil. But the p~ostofice
clerks, the carrier, and his family saw
that card, and it is a thorn in his side
that they think he is accustomed to
drink iced "Rederer" with "J. T.
"" And a man is so helpless, too. He
may get a bushel of cards. every. day,
each one containing a villainous libel,
but he has no redress. A population
that will stand this sort of thing is a
good property just now.-Sprinatfetd

THE Secretary of the Interior has formally
approved the award for Indian supplies and
transportation made IN New York city recently
by the Commissions OF Indian Affairs, against
which James B.. Harlan and other persons had
filed protests. :. President Grant is said to,
sustain Col. Mackenzie unreservedly in carry
ing his pursuit of the Kickapoo marauders
across the line and giving their defeat the fin
ishing touch on Mexican soil, and to have de-
ermined to treat Mexico as an accessory if
she makes any protests. Secretary Richard
son has recalled all the l~egal-tenders out
standing of those illegally reissued by the
Treasury, and has restored the g~reenback cur
rency to its proper level of 1856, 600, 900.
A WAsHINGroN dispatch says: 1t is stated
positively that the Government will sustain
Col. McKenzie's pursuit and punishment of

THE question, What shall be done with the
captured Modocs? is the uppermost one just
now in official circles. The impression seems

civil authorities of Oregon, to be dealt with as
common malefactors. Gen. Meacham, the
hero of the Modoc massacre, has gone to
Washington.

"No," said Amy, looking up;

Amy.
"Good heavens p exclaimed the

"That would be one dollar and

supposing he sells them at no more
than three dollars apiece, which
would be a low price for him." said
Miss Edison, after she had figured

hopes to secure me for his wie?"
she thought within herself.
For a few minutes there was an
unbroken silence. Miss Edison sat
