There seems to be poetic justice, y
says an exchange, Sin the fact that 10
Smith, son of the founder of the Mormon
church, and the leader of the faction of
that organization, that has rebelled against
the authority of Brigham Young, is going
to move his quarters TO Nauvoo, H.. the
place whence the old Mormons fled to
MISSOURI and thence to Utah. Neither he
nor his followers believe in polygamy, and
they return to the scenes of the early vic
tories of the Mormons, to endeavor to
build up their religious organization with
this offensive feature abandoned. Nauvoo
once had population of over 10000, but
to-day its streets are deserted the old
temple desecrated and destroyed, its
houses vacant, and its inhabitants listless
and indolent. Whether the historic name
of 10 Smith will be able to inspire conf
dence sufficient to collect followers enough
to restore it to its old vlgor is doubtful.
The glamour and mystery that surrounded
Mormonism in its early days is passed.
1t has been shorn of its attractions. and
it is struggling now, not for supremacy,
but for existence"

E1SUiNGTON MATTERS.

The Committee on the Judiciary have de-
termined that they will hear no attorneys for
insurance companies which lay claim to a
portion of the Geneva award. This commit
tee has already given much time to these at
torneys, and has become restiye under their
prolonged arguments. 1t is not proper to in
fer. however. from this action of the commit
tee, that they arrived at any conclusion upon
the general bill providing for a distribution of
the award.
There was a consultation Friday between
the Cabinet and Civil Service Commission, at
which the subject of the civil service reform
system was fully discussed. 1t may be stated
that the conference showed that the President
and Cabinet will not abandon the new system,
but that it will continue to receive from the
Administration an earnest, firm, and unhesi-
tating support
The House Committee on Railroads and
Canals determined to report back, favorably,
the bill of Mr.. Stone, which provides for the
construction Of the Fort ST. Philip Ship-canal
around the mouths of the Mississippi river.
The amount OF the appropriation is left blank
in the bill. 1t ia the intention of the friends
of this measure, however, to endeavor to Sc
cure an appropriation of $1,000, 600 for it.
An effort will also be made to induce the
friends of the several railroad bills to unite in
favor of this canal scheme. Much difficulty,
however is anticipated in inducing the railroad
interests to vote for the St. Philip Canal bill.
A change in the organization of the Centen-
NAL management is desired by some of the
most active friends Of the undertaking. They
say that the present organization is complex
cumbersome, and inefficient, and that if Con-
gress makes an appropriation for the exhibit
ton, it ought, at the same time, to sweep
away the whole machinery of corporato1s,

Brilliant Success.

1t is permitted to few men or companies to
achieve acknowledged superiority in any inn
portant position or business. The present
generation has witnessed stupendous rivalry
in several branches of industry, and notably
the Sewing Machine business. Amid null
titude Of competitors, steadily and surely the
Wheeler & Wilson Company held their way
from the beginning, upon fixed and honorable
principles. Long since, their leading position
in America was established. Abroad, at Lon
don, in 1862, they won the highest premium,
the only Gold Medal for Sewing Machines
exhibited; and lastly, amid unparalleled com :
petition, followed the splendid triumphs at
Vienna, noted in our advertising columns.

That Chicago has fully recovered from
the effects of the great fire is shown by
the statistics of the business done during
the past year. The aggregate is S539,-
OOO, 600, while that of 1872 was $3.50, $780,
600, and that of 1870, which was the year
before the fire, was only Si02, 800, 900.
At the time of the calamity many people
professed to believe that Chicago would
never recover from the blow. These
figures not only prove how entirely they
were mistaken, but afford convincing evil
dence Of the vitality not only of single
community, but Of the whole nation. Had
not the country been prosperous to most
gratifying degree, Chicago could not have
been reconstructed in the short time in
which the work has been accomplished,
and certainly could not have done a
business during the past year exceeding
that of 1870 by $136. 600.

STATE PRISON INVESTIGATION

The investigation into the affairs of the
State Prison is now going on. 1t is con-
ducted with a purpose to make il thorough
and prompt. The committee is well or
enable them to prosecute their examination
successfully, Meantime, says the Lew
iston Journal, 1.-The report of the Prison
Inspectors, just published gives the pub
lie some interesting information as to the
prison management. 1t appears that dur
ing the ten years from 1858 to 1863 inclu-
sive, the State appropriations for the
prison were S1l0,30l. During this period
only Sl5, ,2SS were expended for repairs
and permanent improvements, leaving
S9j, ,023 as the State appropriations for
carrying on the prison. The stock on hand
at the end of 1868, was $l9,277-an in
crease of only Slo,34l during the decade.
This left the actual cost to the State of
supporting the prison during that ten
years, S8l ,GS2, or about $500 per annum.
During this period The average number of
convicts was TO
During the ten years in which Warden
Rice has had charge OF the prison, COM
mencing with 1864 and closing with 1873
the State appropriations for the prison were
si73,2O3, but of this sum $50, ,532 was ex-
pended in purchasing lands and buildings
and erecting the new prison wing, where
by the number of cells was increased from
los to 1863 Dedncting this, and the amount
appropriated for running the prison was

that the stock on hand &C., December LIST,
1873, was 1926, l97-an increase of Sl05,-
920 during the ten years. This would be
sufficient to meet the State appropriations
for ordinary prison expenses during that
time. and leave a net profit Of S22, ,2i9 to
the State, or PA per annum. The av-
erage number of conyicts during this
period was l37.
This comparison oflhe len years ending

with 1868, with the ten years ending 1878,
makes the running of the prison cost the
State for the first ten years, S83,C7l; and
for the second ten years makes the PRISON
support itself and pay revenue OF ST.

in favor OF the State between the TWO
periods. And this, too, with twenty-seven
more prisoners to support in the last
period than in the first period. This IS on

Natures Cathartic.

No medicine is needed to keep the bowels in order
us long as natures cathartic the bile, flows freely
and regularly from its source in the liver and is Of
the right strength and quality. But the great hillary
gland is easily disordered and the consequences Of
Its irregularities are serious. To bring it back to
its natural condition when thus affected, Hostetters
stomach Bitters should be taken at least twice a
day until the desired object is attaiaed. Constpa.
ton is due to scant supply of bile, or to lack of
the stimulating clement in that fluid. In either case
mere purgation is useless. The liver must be COM
PEELED to yield the supply OF bile necessary to re-
move the waste matter from the system at least
once in twentyiour hours before radical cure of
cos,iveness can be accomplished. Hostet,er's Bit
ters produce this effect. LIS action upon the stom.
ach and liver is direct and salutary, and through
these organs il regulates and invigorates the whole
frame. febIo-teod&wlw

The sourca Of Many Ills.

If all the ailments, bodily and mental, which
torment the human family could be traced to
their primary sources, 1t would probably be
found that three-fourths Of them originated in
the failure of the stomach aud the other organs
by which the food is converted into nutriment
and applied to the purposes Of life, to perform
the tasks allotted 10 them by nature, vigorous
ly and regularly. This being the case the vast
Importance Of a medicine which compels these
organs to do their whole duty thoroughly and
efficiently, becomes at once apparent. Hostel
ters Stomach Bitfers may be truly cLaracteriz-
ed as preparation Of this kind. indeed as the
only one which can be implicitly relied on as
combining the properties OF a stomachlc an al
terative aud an aperient in such proportions as
to produce simultaneously the desired effect
upon the disordered stomach, liver and intes-
tines. This conclusion is warranted BY the ce
lerity and certainty with which the Bitters at
ford relief in chronic Of dyspepsia, torpid
itv of the liver and constipation. The false idea
that these complaints and others that grow out
of them could be cured BY fierce cafbartics, has
Al last. it Is hoped, been Thoroughly exploded -
The sick. during the last hundred years have
swallowed Thousands Of tons of N sreury, scam
mony, ganboge croton oil, lalap, &C. and teIis
Of thousands Of graves have been prematursiy
filed thereby. But ever since the principle OF
renovation, as embodied in Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, was arrsyed against the principle OF
prostration, as represented by mineral salivants
aud furious purgatlves, the latter has steadily
and surely fallen into deserved contempt The
cutlery againt stimulation by which cOncoctors
Of depicting drepehes hoped to give ectst 10
their disgusting and dangerous compounds has
oniy served TO increase the demand for the
wholesome stimulant, tonic and Alternative
which for twenty five years triurnphed over all
opposition and Is n0w the most popular medi-
cine in the Western hemisphere.
