WHAT IS THE NATTER WITH 1OC?-
If friend is looking sick. this is nsu-
ally the question we put to him. 1t is
asked everywhere, times innumerable,
every day. And whit are the most
frequent answers to it? Are they not
such rs these: "Well, I'm little bill
ious," or II feel lapguid and used
up." or "My stomach is out of order. i"
or "I'm under the weather" or Il
don't know what's the matter with nee,
bnt don't feel right" or the like in
definite reeponees. Now. what is the
matter with the thousands Of both sexes
who cannot tell exactly what ails them.
and yet are evidently out of health?
The matter is simply this: they don't
properly digest what they eat, their
livers sfe torpid, their nerves are weak.
their blood is impure, and their vital
energies are depressed. Whit they
need is q course Of Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters-not one or two doses. but
a course-to strengthen their ssomachs,
superinduce healthy flow of bile,
steady and invigorate their nerves, inn
prove the condition of their blood
and rouse their vital powers. These
results the great vegetable restorative
will assuredly bring about It rallies
the whole system, reinforces every inl-
portant organ, regulates every func-
tion, and purities every animal fluid.
For chronic dyspepsia. constipation,
liver complaint. intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, rheumatism, general
debility, premature decay, and the in
firmities of age. it is the best and safest
stimulant and alternative that has ever
been compounded. It's ingredients
are all vegetable, all pure and whole
some. In districts infested with swamp
miasma, and in all new settlements, its
use is essential to the preservation of
health. The West believes in it, and
so, in fact, do the people of ell sections
OF the Union. S9tl3

ENTERTAINING 4 VISITOR.

1t would have been unfortunate for
the Empress of Russia had she left her
pocketbook at home when she paid q
visit to her daughter at that interesting
period when maternal encouragement
is indispensable. 1t appears that Queen
Victoria secluded herself at Balmoral as
as the Empress OF Russia arrived at
Buckingham Palace. Installed there, the
visiting Empress was compelled to pay
her way just as if she were boarding at
a hotel. 1t might be urged that the
Duke of Edinburgh should have enter
tanned his imperial mother-in-law, but
those who know him best declare that
extravaganza is not his failing, and the
support of a mother-in-law is a luxury
he could not afford Hence the lady
was compelled to satisfy her butcher,
and baker, and candlestick-maker from
her own purse. This may be court eti-
quette, but the hospitabie American
cannot help thinking It somewhat Pc
culiar.

OCEAN

The Commissioner of Customs, in his
report to the Secretary of the Treasury,
presents some figures regarding the
mount of goods brought into this
country by tourists without payment of
duty. The Commissioner says cit is
estimated the American tourists return
ing from Europe during the year ending
june 30, 1873, numbered 36,S3O, and
each person brought on an average seven
trunks filed with dutiable goods, claim
ed to be personal baggage, not dntiable.
We have thus an average OF 257,S1O
trunks filed with articles claimed as
duty free, representing, on a valuation
OF $500 on each trunk, the enormous
sum OF S12S, 90, 900" Much Of this
merchandise, it is further said, is in re-
atty intended to be put upon the market
as merchandise, and still other portions
of it are brought Owe for third parties,
who have remained at home. This abuse
the mildest word which a be used
with reference to it-has sprung up, it
would appear from the report, both
from a defect of the law and from a
axity on the part of the customs officers.
The Commissioner suggests that many
of the difficulties with respect to pas
sengers' baggage might be avoided by
the passage of a law limiting the valueto
be brought in by any n person to a
specified sum.

TIE KENTUCKY iSTI-DUELLING
DECISION.

The decision of the Kentucky State
Board of Canvassers in the case of
Capt. Thos. j.. Jones, elected Clerk Of
the Court of Appeals last August, is
highly creditable to tine integrity Of the
board and advantageous to the cause of
good morals. Jones, vino is a Demo-
Graf, and Il very popular one-armed ex-
confederate, was chosen Clerk of the
Court of Appeals over Cochrane, Repub-
lican, by a majority Of over forty thou
sand. Severa. years ago he had a diff
Guilty with a fellow-townsman, which
led 10 4 challenge from his adversary.
This challenge vas not formally ac-
cepted, though it was virtually, for the
preliminaries for the fight were NJ
ranged by Jones' second with Jones'
approval. After the election Of August
last, Cochrare, the defeated candidate,
claimed the certificate of election IN the
ground that Jones was disqualified for
the Office, because OF his acceptance OF
a challenge to fight a duel. Jones re-
lied on the fact that he had carefully
avoided a formal acceptance as his JUS
~tification. The board Of ~canvassers,
however. though all Democrats and
friends of Jones. take the adverse view,
and decide not to give the certificate to
him. They refuse it to Cochrane, also,
for the very good reason that he was not
elected. 1t is probable that the dis
appointed Clerk elect will ask the Court
of Appeals for a mandamus against the
board, in which case their action will
be exhaustively reviewed by the highest
State tribunal.
