THROUGH all the ages of study and in
vestigation which have marked the path
of scientific discovery, one especially allur-
ing object has tempted the inquiries and
speculations of PHILOSOPHERS. 1t is what
the wizards and witches of olden time, the
jugglers of India, soothsayers of Arabia,
Magi of Egypt, necromancers of Turkey
and the Orient, and alchemst of civilized
Europe have sought. but sought in vain
q vegetable and non poisonous etirer, which
by cleansing the blood, removing from the
system all impurities. strengthening the
nerves, the muscles and the brain, and vi,
talizing every fibre of the system, should
bid defiance to the corroding hand of dis
ease.
DR.. Walker, of California, discovered an
herb. the properties of which, if they do
not entirely fulfill all the conditions above

all of them; this herb DR.. Walker has

The Stomach as an Aveurer.

For every breach Of the laws OF health that we
commit the stomach inficts penalty. Headache,
biliousncss, nervous tremors, constipation collie
heartburn, nausea, debility and mental depression
are only few of the punishments which an out
ragged stomach is capable of imposing upon us.
To bring back this vengeful organ to its normal
conditiou-to placate, invgorate and regulate it
there is nothing in the wide world so potent a
course of Hostetters Stomach Bittersl Under the
operation Of this benehcent vegetable corrective
and tonic, the gastric juice becomes a pure, and
healthful solvent and resumes its natural flow.
The effect is the same the hillary secretions and
in fact on all the fluids Of the body and the final
result is the removal of every painful unpleasant
ymptom occasioned by the rebellious action of the
digestive organ.

THE MOLINE REVIEW ON THE LATE CON-
GREssIoNAL CONVENTION.
The Rock Island County Delegates Severely
Censured.

From the report in the Moline Reuie,o,
of the convention recently held at Prince
ton, we clip the following:
when the convention was called to or
der, George Mixter, of Rock Island coun-
ty, a man who for l49 votes did his duty in
adhering to the Instructions OF his county
convention, arose to say that his delegation
we're no longer the servants Of conven-
ton nor bound by its action; but at the re-
quest of Judge Lynde they withdrew him
as candidate. MIR. Mixter paid tribute
to the character of the man his delegation
had voted for and then adding injury to
the insult they had shown the county in
disregarding their positive instructions, he
paved the way with few inflated preten
tious words for Topping for Henderson.
Albro, the hotheaded, of Henry, moved to
change the order of voting so that Rock
Island could lead-a kind of cheap reward
for their faithlessness and perfdy."
And from an editorial in the same paper
we clip the following:
Upon the delegation from this county to
the congressional convention rests so grave
responsibility that we cannot neither ov-
erlook it nor remain silent. While they
were chosen and instructed to represent
the friends of Judge Lynde as opposed to
MIR. Hawley they were expected by both
and required by every possible considera
ton and principle to use their influence in
the support of local interests Not a coun-
ty in the district has more important inter
ests at stake; not any, we may safely say,
has so many or so large. We can have no
word of ceDsure for them because of their
preference for Judge Lynde while our own
choice was for Mr. Hawley. Ia this they
were true to the spirit of the county con
vention, and as long as they adhered to
him they did WELL Although some three
or four members weakened sooner, the del
egaton, as a whole performed its duty for
l49 votes. On the l5Oth vote it proved
disloyal and perfdious to its instructions
aud Indifferent to the county's Interests

The Henry County Ne,os quotes the
Rock Island county resolutions which,
speaking of Judge Lynde, say: "He is
the champion of the canal, and the Ne,cs
comments upon an article in the Union.
aud upon this Lynde resolutions s follows !:
The champion of the canal is a very
chosen and attractive title to give any man
who is before the people for their sup
port. The champion of the canal is an
attractive title because the people will
have the people will have the canal, and
the people will vote for man whose infu-
ence in congress will be used in furthering
the interests attached to the canal Hence
all candidates for congressional honors
pledge themselves to support this measure.
We think there would be little difficulty in
finding the champion" if their search
for him could be pursued without partizan
feeling, aud with little more genuine anx-
iety to promote the general welfare.
The champion OF the canal lives in
Geneseo. The man who stands head and
shoulders above any man yet spoken of
for congress, if we are locking for a canal
champion.
L uC tudu W ut. IL may bt u utniuuS sdiu,

energy kept it alive tho the faith of others
