Among the numerous health-giving discoveries of
pharmaceutical chemistry, none has achieved more
transcendent and lasting success than Hostetter'
Stomach Bitters. OF course there is reason for
this. 1t would have been impossible to palm off for
nearly a quarter of century, upon 80 shrewd peo-
pie the Americans, mertless article or have es-
tablished by mere adver Using such reputation as
the Bters enjoy, if they did possess substan-
tal title to public confidence. The truth of this state

less and discarded. Hostetters Btters on the con-

markable degree the power of tonng and regulating
the human system, and to-day they rank rs the

The N. Y. Tribune attacks the PRESS for
its support of caucus to determine the
senatorial question. "High-toned" journals
which oppose all political organizations may
properly enough take this view. but it is very
funny to see it quoted with approval by the
argus, which would support the Devil himself
if he were regularly nominated by a Democrat
ic caucus. Meanwhile, so long as men combine
tall to accomplish common purposes, the eau
Gus or some similar means of agreeing upon a
course of action must be adopted, land when we
have it not ''chaos is come again." The
caucus should be permitted to reconcile all
mere differences of opinion where no point
of morals is involved.

a proclamation for a Day of Pablo
Thanksgiving and Praise.

We are reminded by the changing seasons that it
IS time to pause in daily vocation and offer
thanks to Almighty God for the mercies aud abun-
dance OF the year which is drawing to close. The
blessings OF free go eminent have continued to be
youessafed to u.s. the earth has responded TO the la
Dor OF the husbandman; the land has been free from
pestilence; internal order is being maintained and
peace with other powers has prevailed 1t is fitting
that at stated periods should cease from our ac-
customed pursuits, and from the turmoil of our daily
lives and unite in thankfnlness for the blessings of
the past and the cultivation of kindly feelings to-
wards each other. Now, therefore, recognizing
these considerations, Ulysses S. Grant. President
of the United States, do recommend to all citizens to
assemble in their respective places Of worship on
Thursday, the 26th Day of Nov. Next,
and express their thanks for the mercy and favor of
the Almighty God, and laying aside all political con-
tention and all secular occupations, to observe
day as day of praise.
In witness whereof have herewith set my hand and
caused the seal of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington, this the 29th day
OF October in the year of our Lord, 1874 and of the
independence of the United States the ninety
ninth.
