PeraOnaI Appearance of Bismarck

A tall, square man, straight as a pine
and rugged as larch; a man in plain
attire, with an ample brow, and gray
retiring eyes, firm nose and chin, hard
coarse mustache; a strongly knit, a

apparently all nerve and brain, with
ready word and open laughter on his

should be silent, might appear to hide

The Coming Fair.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. james
Nj. Crawford, we had the pleasure OF q
drive Though the Fair Grounds and
adjoining race course, yesterday morn
ing. The place looks revolutionized
since we last saw it. The Secretary 3
Office is bright and inviting. with a
new coat Of paint, and a new, strong
fence on the street, neatly white
washed, is pleasant exchange for the
old dilupidated one. The grand stand
is receiving coat of whitewash, the
grounds have been graded. the various
stalls, sheds, stables and lots sor the
reception OF stock are all in order. The
main building is being prepared inter
nelly for the articles which are to be
displayed in it. Mr.. Crawford has
fitted up an art gallery after an i'm
proved style. Everything about the
grounds begins to feel the change and
look attractive. a trot round the race
course showed the truck to he in capi-
tai order. Articles ure beginning to
arrive.
The efficient Secretary, whose hand
is ever ready to carry out the conciu-
sions of his quick and discerning jndg-
ment, and whose experience has been
found su valuable IN all our agricultu-
raj festivities, is expected to arrive this
evening, and enter upon his work.
Everything betokens good fair, and
the stock exhibition is, we understand,
likely to be quite tine. Next Tuesday,
the 10Th, the Fair will open, and we
take occasion to say last word to ex-
hibitors and visitors, that they may
govern themselves accordingly. Every.
shing is in readiness to receive their
contributions. Let them now pour
n, and, farmers, come yourselves, and
bring your wives, daughters and sons.
Merchants, mechanics, laborcrs, artists
and students, welcome all! We hope
to see crowd-a real, live, good sized
crowd. and everybody and his wife en-
JOY themselves.

tn. Army OF Northern Virginia.


During the recent Fair week in
Richmond Virginia. members OF the
army of Northern Virginia held re-
union, concluding with banquet, an
interesting account of which We read
in the Richmond Dispatch. These old
heroes of the grey are as accomplished
in the arts of pence as they were
formidable in those of war. They treat
the dread issues in which they played
30 important part with o temper, q
discretion, an enlightened Judgment,
which are beyond praise. Active in
tho field. wise in council. patriotic and
self-sacrificing in duty, now that years
have past siuce they sheathed their
swords. they come forth from their re-
tirement none the less concerned in
ine pr"blems of government, aud
none the less devoted to great princi-
pies for which they contendei.
On the OCCASION to which we refer,
Gen. Fitz Lee presided with ready
wit and easy grace. He pleasantly in
troduoed the evening by telling an
Rnecdote which some Of his friends
had enjoyed at his EXPENSE:
"An old fArmer," he said, "who was
devoted adherent Of the cause of the
Confederacy, and firm believer in its
ultimate SUCCESS, was very startled at
the rumor that Gen. Lee had surren-
'lered, and most indignantly denied it.
At last there came along some men
who said they were at the surrender,
and offered to slow him their paroles.
This puzzled him. and he scarcely
knew what to say, until ut last bright
idea struck him, and he triumphantly
e1claimed: Oh! know how it is; it is
not Gen. r. e. Lee who has surren-
dered. but that fellow Fitz Lee, and I
am not surprised at anything he does
And 80, continued Gen. Lee, you must
not be surprised at anything that
fellow may say or do tonight"
Gen. kemper, tue Governor OF Vlr-
ginia, handsomely responded to the
first toast of the evening, embodying
the glowing sentiment of Gen. Lee,
worthy in it's compass OF thought and
terseness Of expression to compare
with any apothegm OF Aristotle or Ba.
con:
"Flrginia-As great in peece as in
war, she is teaching nations that thu.
man fortitude is equal to human ca
lanity.'"
To the sentim ent that "fortitude and
fidelity now are US honorable and be.
coming to the survivors of the army
OF Northern Virginia as were their
chivalry and courage in wearing the
grey" Gen. E,rly made characteristic
response, in the course of which he
entered, but not bitterly. into the
merits Of some statements in Gen. Joe
Joanston's narrative. In showing who
are the survivors, he insisted that there
are too deaths-one Of spirit and one
of body-and that the man who dies il
spirit is "deader than those who have
died in body"
He said q word also about tho sfor

Seeing is Relieving.

If in this liberal age there persons to be found
who SO blinded by prejudice not to believe
that medicated stimuIant is item Of immense
importance in the catalogue of human remedies,
should like them to witness the wonderful effects
which Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are now produc-
ing all the country in cases of intermittent fe-
yer, rheumatism, bilious disorders, dyspepsia
nervous complaints, constitutional debility, mem
tai depression and premature decay. To be sure
these effects nothing new. The great vegets-
BILE invigorant and its cures have been before the
people for more than twenty-five years, and in
every year of the twenty-five its popularity has in
creased and its sale has become larger. Yet there
doubt many thousands of intelligent citizens
who have never had opportunity of observing
for themselves the surprising changes which this
unequalled tonic and Alternative produces in systems
which seem to be hOpelessly broken and in of
disease which are not amenable to ordinary RENE
dies. Probably many of these regard the state
ents made in relation to the sanitary properties of
the Bitters with degree of incredulity. Would
that all such skeptics could with their own eyes
what the medicine is doing for the sick and feeble
everywhere, what staff of life it is proving to the
aged and infirm, what help in time of trouble to
feeble women suffering from the complaints and
disabilities peculiar to the SEX what protection to
health and life in malarious districts, what a pa
nacsa for languor and depression, what specific
for all diseases in which the system requires to be
