The Third Term.

Tho us.-~s,s /, still nrlng aWay~;it the third
term. 1t is matter of no great importance.
There are worse things than the third term
10 this country, and if the Herald would
turn its attention to them rather than to the
third term it would do the country more SER
vice.
On the other hand, the Times is in good
spirits about General GRANT and the R"pub'
lican party. 1t says that, Notwithstanding
the Democratic gains here and there, the Re-
pubicans could now elect their nominee fol
President if the election were at hand. II
goes further, and says that General GRANT
could beat anybody the Democrats nigh

tains the General for third term2 Ant
does it mean that General GRANT entertain:

avowed ? These questions ought TO be an

St, Philip Canal.

The passage Of the bill for the st. Philip
canal, by the House of Representatives, over
the proposition for jetties at the delta of the
Mississippi, we believe to be very wise
measure. EADx's jetties, we are Inclined to
believe, would be of. no benefit. The high
tides which the heavy storms frequently
throw back upon the mouth of the Missis

In dyspepsia the gastric juice which should dis
solve the food is only formed In small quantities,
and whatever may be the feeling of emptiness and
weakness In such cases, the dyspeptic should eat
very sparingy. To remedy the evil, the mucous
membrane OF the stomach, which secretes and emits
the gastric fluid, should be stimulated and toned,
and the best, in fact the only sure preparation for
this purpose is HoSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS. Not only does this admirable stomachic pro-
mote sufficient and steady supply Of the solvent
which converts the food to the purposes OF life, but
1t also regulates the flow Of bile, controls the bow
els, and has most invigorating effect upon the
nerves. The glow which the very first desc 6iffuses
through the system is an earnest OF the more per-
manent vtalizing effects which are produced by its
persistent use. 1t improves the appetite, cheers
the spirits and renders the body hardy and strong.
