Great Eastern.

This great entertain ment was crowd
ed last night to overlooking, and hum
dreds were turned from the doors,
unable to gain admission. There is no
doubt but this magnificent geological
and arenic exhibition is on the tide of
popular favor, and that its performan-
ces give the most unbounded and uni
yersal satisfaction. The menageric is
not only extensive and well selected,
but embraces many rare and heretofore
unseen specimens from the animal
kingdom, The llama, zebra, sacred
COW and calf, tiger, African lions, so,
rilla, jaguar, leopard, California grizzly
bear, puma, and monkeys and birds,
are particularly fine. This part of the
show is attractive, and affords lessons
of useful instruction to students of nat
ural history, and, in fact, everybody.
The circus part of the programme is
given by double corps of pei formers
in two rings at the same time, and
embraces many old and weli-knOwn
celebrities. Among them will be found
the meadge queen, Emma Lake, Marie
Elise, the splendid horsewoman; the
great equestrian Carroll family; c. G.
Lowry, bareback hurdle rider; the
popular gymnasts, the Miaco brothers;
VIM. Watson, Charles Spencer, the
Davenport brothers, jerome Tlttie,
Adolphe Barrabo, Frederick Sylvester,
and many Others known to ia me.
The clowns, c. Lee Fowler and Sam
are particularly funny, and
say many new and original things.
This establishment presents more
and better horses than any we have
seen for years. They are beautifully
sleek and clean, and are ex-
well trained.
The management is ssgidHops and
polite in attentions to the pubic, and
we can not only heartily endorse, but
stoutly reccomend the immense Great
Eastern. 1t is truly a big show-a
grand exhibition.-[Buffalo, IN. vi

SETH AND ST. MATTHEW.

1t turns out that the statements pub
lished some weeks ago, announcing
the election of our young friend Seth
Shepard as senator from Washington
and Burleson, over the Hon. st. Mat
thew Gaines, the vivacious and witty
man of stone coal color, were untrue
When the figures were all counted, st.
Matthew was found to be just three
dozen votes ahead of the handsome
blonde, our gallant young friend Seth,
of whose name we read i'm the twenty
fifth verse, chapter iv. of Genesis,
wherein it is also written Verse 2G):
"And to Seth to him also there was
born a son; and he called his name
Enos: then began men to call upon the
name of the Lord" Now, that Seth
of the Bible was shepherd, and so is
our Seth of Washington county, and
had he not beem beaten by one bearing
a new testament name, it would, by
implication, hc RI argument that u
majority Of the sLtlragans of Wash.
ington and iiurieiOn were either pa
gans, heathens, or infidels. AS it is,
we cannot make the charge; for if we
did, st. Matt, of Washington, would
confront us with the patent fact that
he bears the name of him whose writ
ings come first in the followers of the
Redeemer.
So, as the old and new testament
names are now in conflict, we must
keep close TO shore, lest storms and
angry waves engulfus. We may, how
ever, be permitted to say, without risk
of accommodation, that Seth will
contest the seat of st. Matt before the
grand sandhedrim, and leave them to
say which is rightfully entitled to occu-
DIV that cushioned chair, and vote yea
or nay on grave matters of state.

Precautions Against Sickness.

The ability of the human body to resist the
causes of disease depends upon its vigor and
upon the regularity with which the several
organs perform their functions. In the win
ter the most prolific sources of sickness are
damp and cold, and it is therefore wise and
prudent to fortify the system against them
by wholesome stimulation. Hence it is that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters prove such an
admirable safeguard against the complaints
most common at this season. The ingredi-
ents of this powerful vegetable invigorant
COMPRISE three essential medicinal elements
which act simultaneously upon the digestion,
the circulation, the secretions and the nerves
infuSing strength and regularity into all, In
this way the Bitters put the body in the best
possible condition to escape an attack of
rheumatism, or intermittent fever, or indi-
gcstion, or biliousnesS, or of pulmonary dis
ease. Cold and damp are very depressing;
almost as much so as excessive heat, and n
protective medicine Is quite as needful in
winter as in summer. The commercial slim
ulants so unwisely taken in the form of drains
to "keep out the cold" have precisely Oppo-
site effect to that produced by Hostetter's Bit
tiers. Their first result Is succeeded by q re-
action which devitaliZes and nroStroteS the
system; while, on the other hand, the tonic
and vitaliZing operation OF the great vegeta-
permanent. There Is no rcVu,Sion, nj reverse
nervous action. The physique is strengthen
ed, the appetite increased, the bowels regula-
ted, the stomach reinforced, aud these condi-
tons continue. If dyspepsia or rheumatism
or biliousness, or intermittent lever, o. gen
eral debility, or nervous weakness, is present
in the system, eXpel it with this pure and
harml IS antidote, which Is not only invalu-
able as q preventive of sickness, but also
remedy for a large class of disorders.

WE notice on our streets various We
hicles called "hoatsr-those long con-
Germs, high in front and low in rear
constructed for the purpose of carrying
great bulks of freight for short distances
In large business towns they are indis-
pensable to the moving of cargoes. TO
our agreeable surprise, we learned the
other day, that those elegant structures
seen on our streets, were natives OF
Dallas, having been born in the busy
workshop of Mr.. James Carey, whose
enterprise is well known, but now en-
HANGED by these specimens of his es-
tablishment's capacity. Would there
were variety of such in our town.

THr university Of tho south, the
young but great institution Of the pro-
tcsiant Episcopal church, on Scwancc
mountain, Tennessee, began its sew
enth year yesterday, March 10, under
the most favorable auspices.
This great institution was first sug-
gested by the loved and lamented
Bishop (GcneraD Leonidas Polk, of
Louisiana. Itrapidly sprang into being
under the patronage ofseveral southern
states, but during the war all its build
ings were burned, Since the war 1t
has made herculean strides, and prom
ises to become one of the chief educa-
tional centers OF the American CONT
nent. AS the conception of the great
and good Bishop Polk, who gave his
life to the southern cause, ii will for
ever command the best wishes of Tho
sauthcrn people.

JUDGE WILLIAM CHAMBERS, of the
Liberty district court, has been trium-
phanhy acquitted, by our democratic
senate, of the fourteen charges pre-
ferred against him on impeachment
An acquittal by such body, he being
a radical appointee of Governor Davis
must be accepted by just men as n vim
dication-in other wards, as conclu-
sive evidence of his innocence. We
do not hesitate to express sincere graf
ification at the result. We had sup
posed he was guilty of judicial wrong,
and, if so, desired his impeachment,
but knew nothing of the facts. We have
known him for some twenty years as
Texian, and though political oppo-
nent, we are glad he has not soiled his
ermine.

A FEW weeks ago a gentleman OF
Dallas, by way of experiment, planted
in his yard lot of walnuts, pecans and
chestnuts, using the chestnuts that
were sold at the fruit stands on the
street. He already has a number OF
each growing above ground. AS to
walnuts and pecans, they grow as read
lily as grains of corn; but as no chest
nuts have ever grown indiginously
west of the Mississippi in the United
States, it was an experiment to plant
them. So far it is Il perfect success
Time only can determine whether they
will become healthy, nut-bcaring trees.
On that point we have no doubt.
1t is a singular fact. that after cross
ing the Mississippi from Alabama,
Tennessee and Kentucky, no chestnuts
are found as native trees till we get to
the mountains some fteen miles south
west of the city of Mexico, in latitude

The Sinking Saved.

The combination of tonic, Alternative and
stimulating properties in Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, especially adapts that famous
specific to the cure of chronic forms of dis
ease, when the strong influence of n long pro-
tracted morbid habit is to be silrmounted.
IN chronic dyspepsia, and liver complaint,
and in chronic constipation and other Obsti-
nate diseases, it is beyond all comparison the
best remedy that can be taken. AS means
of restoring the strength and vital energy of
persons who are sinking under the debilita-
ting effects of painful disorders. this standard
vegetable inyigorant is confessedly unequal
led. The permanent tonics included In the
preparation are associated with n di1lusible
stimulant absolutely pure, and the tendency
of these elements is modified by the presence
of Alternative ingredients slower in their ope-
rations and capable of producing more last
ing local and general effects. For feeble con-
valescents and in all phases of debility, it is
the best as well rs the most agreeable of re-
storatives.
