Whenever the paternity Of n bull

GRADER. Yetit was II Scotch woman

handles the sledge hammer holds the

his debts, lives within his means, re-
spects Gods day Of rest and sleeps ON
bed Of his own, or the stuck-up pre-
tender, with starched shirt shining

the proud son Of rich father, who
made his money by hard toll? Cipher

Eliminated Machinery

Our bodies are like time-pieces. When they
run down we must wind them up; otherwise
they will stop forever. What key will best
perform this work Of renovation? Experi-
ence has shown that 1t can be accomplished
more rapidly and certainly by course Of
Hostetter's stomach Bltters than by any
other article under the sun. That searching
yet harmless agent seems to be spring, and
lever, and wheel, SO to speak, OF the living
machine. The relaxed nerves are braced, the
torpid liver Is stirred. the weak stomach is
sirensthened, the disordered bowels are reg
ulated, the lost appetite Is restored, the
cionded mind is trightened-in short the
whole inert system is stimulated into
healthy action. New life is put into every
falling fibre, and physical regeneration en-
sues. This isatlie testimony of thousands.
In every city, town and village Of the union
living proofs Of its efficacy may be found.

EmraRATaoN.

From AL the information we can
gather from the western states, theeui-
grafton from that region TO Texas nest
lull and following, viii be greater than
ever heretofore. Tho great majority
are coming in search Of cheap, lertile
lands and u climate less rigorous
than the cold and bleak regions Of the
northwest, where the winters are so
long and the summers SO short.
The people of the northwest are rs
anxious as those from Mississippi aud
South Carolina to live ina white mans
country, Though they fought for the
preservation of the union, they have
no idea Of being governed in any local
ity by the emancipated African slaves
of the south. Blood will tell. 70
perpetuate an alliance between north
ern white men and the black men Of
the south, rs against the white people
of the south, is as contrary to Gods
eternal law, as for theleopard to change
his spots. The spirit Of Thad
Stevens, bold and iron hearted
fanatic, cannot be transmitted TO
the white children of even his
own township. IT received counte-
nance during the latter years Of his
life solely from the extraordinary and
abnormal acknowledgement see
tlonal excitement, famed into a
blazing fury by the issues of the hour
The sober second thought Of national
reason and every day common sense
will restore Il healthy equilibrium in
sentiment. The day.that slavery was
abolished in the outh-thatvery day
was planted the germ from which is to
sprlng,and has already partially
sprung, a clear and distinct idea of the
distinction in races Of men.
The white woman of Massachusetts,,
however distorted may have been her
education in sympathy with the mag
mary character of the oppressed son of
Africa, has the same instructive re.
pugnance to marrying him that ac-
tuates the woman of old Virginia or
South Carolina. 1t is but common
nature, stamped in the heart by the
power ofGod, and prevails throughout
the ends of the earth.
Hence it is that the people
in the cold regions of the north and
who desire to migrate to
more genial cline, further south, vet
desire to go to q country where white
men rule and the y frican, at most, is
but an incident. Such u country is
north Texas. II has generous soil, a |
mild climate, pure atmosphere, and !
produces in the same field cotton,
wheat, corn, rye, oats, barley, potatoes,
peaches, apples, pears, cherries, april
cots, grapes and variety of other
needful products, II produces all that
Ohio or Wisconsin can, and all that
grows in semi-tropical cline, and
hence possesses advantages denied to
either extreme IN the tropics, or at the
cold north. The combination indicates
u section in which may be built up the
finest average population the world
ever produced. Right here, on and
near latitude thirty-three, is the region
sought for. Comeon, brethren, whether
from Minnesota or California, Penn
sylvania or Florida. We have room
for all who come in good faith to be of
our household.

Lieutenant Governor Talbot, of Mas

Georgetown, Texas, on April llth. He
wrote then that he would leave St

REASONS WHY
Peters, Patent Tanning Process
Is Superior to all Others

First-Because it performs the operation
of Tanning Leather in from two to hfteea
days for kips and lighter skins; and from
fifteen to thirty days for bride and heavy
harness leaving it free from chemicals.
SccOnd-Because, while ii dspenses
with the use of bark, aud reduces the exs
pense of tanning at least 90 per cent; 1t may
be used in combination without bark, bark
extract or japonica, aud when SO used is near
ly as economical and rapid.
Third because OF the superior beauty
strength and durability OF the Leather-s
sheepskin having body and strength equal to
calf tanned by the old process
FOurtH-Because of the hexibility and
sottness of the Leather.
FiitI-Becanse it requires but few dollars
capital TO start in the business.
SiXiii-Because you eau turn over your
money twelve or fifteen times year, instead
VI uhcei luc oIu way.
Seventh Because it is so simple that
any person can make superior leather by CIV
ing the process few DAYS attention.
Ei..itIi-Because of its cleanliness and
freedom of offensive odors, as compared with
the old process, rendering the business ad-
Missile in the midst of mercantile or other
departments of trade.
NintIi-Beeause money can be made IN
shorter time and on less capital than in any
other business.i
Tanneries arc in operation in Jefferson
Huntsville and Sherman, and will be in oPe-
ration in two weeks in Calvert, turning OUT
