A regular habit OF body is iudis-
pensable to health; yet few disorder.
are more common than costivrne esss
BY this term is implied sluggish con-
dition OF the bowels, which causes
them to retain their contents longer
than is consistant with health, and
renders the act of evacuation difficult
and painful. Headache, dizziness,
feverishness, sense OF fullness in the
head. loss OF memory, incapaci,y for
continuous mental effort, and q gene
raj feeling OF oppression in the abdo.
minsl region, are among the accom-
paniments Of this complaint. The epe.
cific for it is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tors. This famous stomachic and al
terative aots benetioiel!y npen the three
principal organs connected With the
processes OF digestion, secretion and
e1cretion. viz: The stomach, the liver
and the intestines. Torpidity OF the
liver is, in most cases. the immediate
cause Of constipation. Bile is mode
rately aperient. and if ils regular dis
charge into the upper bowels be in
terrnpted, distractions accumulate and
harden in the intestinal canal, and
purgation becomes necessary. The
Bltters, being anti-bilious as we'll as q
tonic and laxative, soon restore the
dereliot liver to natural condition, as
we'll as relieve and tone tho bowels.
The result il the permanent establish
ment OF regular habit of body. No
disorder OF the stomach or its depend
enciss, no affection of the nervous
system, no ailmont involving physical
weakness and mental dcspondency,
can resist the renoyating. regulating.
purifying operation of this famous nj
terntive. JJ643rl

HOW THEY DO THINGS IN KANSAS.

Three Kansas men are charged with
having stolen a county. They staked
it out and called it Barbour. Then
they divided the county Offices among
themselves, taking two or three apiece,
and sent certificates and afhdavits to
the capital. Their credentials as
county were forwarded. AT the gen.
eral election, over two hundred and
fifty-one votes were cast into the bal
lot-box after the Philadelphia fashion.
w. H. Horner was chosen to represent
Barbour county in the Legislature.
Horner voted industriously for every
body else's measures, and found it easy
to get through one of his own. 1t was
a bill to authorize Barbour county to
issue bonds for the building of bridges
and other necessary Improvements.
The bonds were issued, and sold well,
Horner acting as agent. And now
Horner and all the population of Bar
bour county, and the proceeds of the
bonds have disappeared, and the bond
holders are wondering where they've
gone to.

CIVIL RIGHTS AND MIxED JURIys


There are other features of the civil
rights bill. almost as important as the
school question, upon which neither
VIM G. Brownlow nor the Banner has
yet taken any distinct stand. For in.
stance, the matter Of juries in State
courts, on which Senator Carpenter
said:
/ know of no more powerin the Gov
eminent of the United States to deter
mine the component elements of aState
jury than of State bench or of State
Legislature. / can see no argument
which shows the power of this Govern
ment to organize State juries that does
not apply to State Legislatures; a
power which, In my Judgment, is clear
ly not conferred upon this Government.
L cannot vote for bill as an entirety
which contains even one provision
which deem unconstitutional.
This provision seems to have been
put in the bill for the express purpose
of encouraging negroes to break down
and run out of Office by prosecuting liti-
cation, every Sheriff, Deputy Sheriff or
Marshal who shall fail to summon ON
all juries full proportion of both col
ors, In State courts as well as Federal.
The Chattanooga Times thinks this pro-
vision even more mischievous and far
reaching In its evils than mixed schools.
We can dodge the latter by private in
situations, and try to provide for the
poor through charitable and Church
cooperation But there is no such es-
cape from the jury provision, affecting
the whole machinery of society for
dispensing justice between man and
man.

An increase of more than ID per cent over the
earnings of the previous year.
1t is doubtful if SO encouraging an
exhibit was ever before made of the
resources and wealth of the country.
The greater portion of the increase
here noted has been In the earnings
from notwithstanding that the bust
ness and labor of the country have not
been disorganized either by the finan-
cial panic or by the warfare attempted
to be waged against railroads.
This increase in earnings is due en-
tirely to the greater amount of bust
ness transacted, since on all the lead
ing lines of road the rates of freight
transportation have been considerably
reduced during the year. Nor is it
confined to any particular section of
the country, every region showing
gains. The largest earnings in any
one State were in Pennsylvania, where
the gross earnings for 1872, on 1882
miles of railroad, were S75, 000, 900, and
in 1873, on 4,424 miles, were $780,
900, gain of S7,5OO,OOO. In New York
the report is even more encouraging,
the earnings for 1872, on 4,731 miles,
being SCI 100000, and in 1873, on $500
miles, nearly S7O.OOO,OOO, a gain of
100000 for the year. This is the
largest increase shown in any State,
In Ohio the earnings for 1872 were
SIS 500, 900, and for 1873, SIS, 100000;
in Illinois, in 1872, 81, 100000, and in
1873, S54,O00,0OO.
