The FRncicS of the SICK.

A diseased imagination Is the usual con-
comitant of II torpid stomach. There is no
complaint to which humanity is subject
which the dyspeptic does not at different
times suppose that he has, or is about to
have. Tho only way to disabuse the sufferers
mind of these fancies, which are realities to
him, is to difruse life and vigor into his di-
gestive organs, and the most potent prepare
ton for this purpose is Hostetter's stomach
Bitters, There Is no affection of the stomach,
no irregularity of the liver or disorder Of the
bowels, consequent upon indigestion, for
which it is not an absolute specific. During
the twenty-five years that it has been the
standard tonic and Alternative Of America,
millions of dyspeptics have recovered their
health and the capacity to enjoy life by the
sole aid of this wholesome and searching
vegetable preparation. AS an assimilant
and an anti-bilious agent, remedy for LASH
tude, debility nervousness and morbid fan
cies, there has never been anything compar-
able to it in any age or country. deod&wlw

Mrs, Astor, the wife of the hundred

with diamonds, and her head seemed
aflame with them. There was n dla-

had diamond earrings, and diamond
necklace of magnificent proportions.
Upon the two sides of her chest were
two circles Of diamonds, about the size
Of the palm Of the hand, From them
depended lines and curves of diamonds
reaching to her waist, round which
she wore diamond girdle. On the
skirts Of her dress in front, were two
large peacocks wrought of lines Of dia-

diamonds large or small, but in every

Among the Judges who have graced
the Supreme bench of the State, with
honor and credit, none of them have
won brighter laurels nor a more sub.
stantial reputation for probity and
ability than the gentleman whose
name heads this column. Judge
Reeves lived in this city for several
years, but our acquaintance with him
began in Anderson county, years ago
where he had the confidence and es'
TEEN of the people, and was respected
by such lawyers rs Douley, Booth An.
derson and Bonner as profound iurist
and a just Judge.
He was elected to the position o.
District Judge for several consecutive
terms, and that district was 10th to
give him up when he determined ia
enter the Confederate service. While
in the army the people elected him tc
the Supreme bench, and he was thus
called home to take his seat as Il mem
Der of that high tribunal. 1t was GER
tainly high honor, but yet it was an
earnest Of what he was worth to his
State as n .iurist. His whole record is
one of which, in this day, he may well
feel proud.
Numberless chances have presented
themselves for him to have occupied
high positions under the Radical adj
ministration of the State, but he pre-
ferred to preserve his reputation pure
and unsullied, by declining to affiliate
with a party that has drawn down
odium upon itself from the enlightened
people of the whole country. But
now, when an administration elected
by the people is about to so
into power, when a government set
up by the proper authority is about to
be inaugurated, we mention Reuben
A. Reeves name in connection with a
high appointive office, knowing that
he would esteem it an honor to accept
it. Whose claims are superior to his
We believe that his appointment 10y
the newly elected administration would
meet with universal approval, for he
is competent, honest, and has proven
himself faithful.
