Rational Medication.

Medication is only successful when 1t is ra-
tional, and 1t is rational only when it begins
at the beginning. In other Wort s, to cure
malady, its cause must be removed. Weak
ness, either general or local, is the origin of
the great majority ofdlseases. Reinforce the
vital energies, regulate digestion and secre-
ton by strengthening the organs which per-
form those all-important functions, and dys-
pepsia, constipation, kidney and bladder
com plants, uterine difficulties, impure cir
culatien, and the Thousand ana one ailments
which are the consequences Of debility, are
com pletely and in most cases permanently,
removed. The best, safest and most agreea-
bic tonic and Alternative that can be EN-
ployed for this purpose is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. The experience Of twenty-five
years, during which time il has outlived per-
haps ten times that number of ephemeral
preparations which have entered into com
petition with it, has proved it TO be I'M
equaled as a remedy for all disorders accom-
panied by or proceeding from weakness.

AT this season of the year, when so
many of our people are suffering from
colds, we call attention to Ayers Cher
ry Pectoral as sure cure not only for
conghs and colds, but all affections of
the lungs and throat. Having used it
in our family for many years, we can
speak from personal knowledge of its
efficiency. There may be other RENEE
dies that are good, but in all our expe-
rence this has proved to be by far the
best. its qualities are uniform and
wholly reliable. 1t is pleasant to take,
and should be kept at command by
every family, as protection against q
class of complaints which seem harm
less i'm the beginning, but become
and dangerous If neglected.

TAKING UNITED STATES BONDS.

There is an uneasy feeling creeping
into the minds of the United States
bondholders that the next congress
may consider the propriety of taxing
these bonds. The very idea sends a
financial shudder through every loyal
bondholding heart. Trade and man.
ufactures are languishing, mills are
working on greatly reduced schedules,
and times are hard among the farmers,
the mechanics and the merchants.
Voters are beginning to inquire into
the cause of all of this in time of peace.
The place where the shoe pinches has
been found out. The wealth invested
in United States bonds is not bearing
its portion of the financial and business
burden under which the country Is
1t is not contributing any
thing to the national exchequer
through taxation. These bonds, in
stead of being bought as mere invest
ment, are used as a hiding place for
money that ought to be employed-at
work, in general circulation. United
States bonds simply afford means of
boarding money, and getting an inter-
est out of it at the same time. Now
comes up the question among the mil.
lions who have their money in farms
and factories, whether things would
not be easier If the money in bonds is
made to contribute its share of taxa
ton as well as the money in any other
species of property. OF course we shall
hear the changes rung on 'the nations
faith must be preserved and its credit
but is it not possible to
do this aud still not injure the value of
their property? Prepare for a howl
when congress meets.

SOUTHERN COLORED METHODIsTs.
The Bonham News SAYS:

The Bonham News says:
Alfred Aston, a presiding elder of
the colored Methodist Episcopal church
south, passed through here yesterday
OH his way home to Sulphur Springs
from the annual conference at Sher-
man. He informs us that this church,
though organized only four years ago,
has a membership of nearly one hum
dred thousand, with five hundred and
eighty-seven circuit riders, and six
hundred and thirty-siX local preachers.
This organization, he says, is much
the strongest of any among the col
ored population of the south, and bids
fair, in short time, to entirely absorb
the semi-political branch of the north
ern church, which has been founded
and fostered with SO much care by en-
issaries from that section. Aston
gave some amusing instances OF the
discrepancy between the preaching
and the practice of these carpetbaggers
and expressed his opinion that their
delusive promises of "forty acres and a
mule" would never again control the
religion or politics of his race.
The above significant paragraph
sounds the key note of the future course
of the colored people of the south. a
few years will efiectually ALLEVIATE them
from politico-religionists, and assimi-
late, in greater or less degree, to the
general, moral and political tone Of the
great body of southern whites-that is,
AS the whites do, they will divide
among different churches and parties,
rs inclination and surroundings may
dictate, Independent of the carpetb ag
adventures who heretofore misled
them for selfish purposes.

THE Aldine for December comes to
us i'm good time, aud as usual freighted
with all the good things of art and lit
erature. This being the holiday or
Christmas number of the year, it need
scarcely be said that pictorially it fills
the very sense of satisfaction. Four
pictures of the seasons, "spring,"
"summer,u "autumn" and "winter,"
each with verse of illustration, pre-
sent at once some of the mostpreg-
nant designing and the finest en-
craving and printing, to be found even
in this high-class publication. The
"Old Mill in the Jura Mountains" af-
ter G. L. Duboise, "A young American
artist of great promise, has world of
rugged strength and design, blended
with careful and elaborate detail. Two
charming pictures appropriate for the
season, "Winter Pastimes," and "The
First Lesson" tell pretty and interest
ing stories in a graceful. manner; and
the same may be said of ''Caught !! "
which develops one of the dangers of
v
the protrusive petticoat, and ''The Ri
vals,r which shows that there may be
other jealousies than those beating I'M
der broadcloth or fiounced silks.
John s. Davis seems to have given
us one of the most careful of his en-
bodiments of sad idea, in "Aiary of
the Wild Moor" the pictorial story of
a well known tragic ballad; 'Here's
your Christmas Dinner ~ is full of the
softened lights and delicate shades of
the old Flemish artists who so loved
to depict market scenes; ''The Jack
entail, Bohemia" opens to travellers a I
cascade Of great beauty, little known
in books, though deserving place
among the most popular resorts;

enough to keep the owner of that face

When Mr.. Abbott was in the
city on last Monday, several per-
sons were on the hunt CT him with
their lottery tickets. They want
to know when the prizes are to be
drawn.-Macomb Ill. Eagle.
The Eagle, from which we clip
the above, is the same democratic
paper that Abbott owned and pub
lished during the war and demo-
cratic still. Hence itcannot be said
that the story is manufactured for
political effect, now that Abbott is
q candidate for Secretary OF the
State of Kansas. That our read
ers may see the point, we will tell
the story as near as we can, from
memory. Abbott having sold his
paper, the Macomb Eagle, to Chas.
II. Whitaker, the present publish
er, Just at the close of the war, en-
tered into a partnership with Cap
tain John p. Higgins, late of COM
pany A. saith Reg. Ill. Inf, to raf-
fie off some property he protested
TO own in Macomb. When Abbott
who was treasurer of the concern,
had sold all the tickets he could
he Jumped the country leaving the
ticket holders out. 1t was suppos
ed that Abbott pocketed some
$1,000 In the little transaction, the
most of it belonging to soldiers
lust home from the war, who were
induced TO invest by Captain Hig-
gins q former comrade. IL after
wards transpired that Abbott had
sold the same property at private
sale, either, before or during the
time he was selling his lottery
tickets. Such is the man who is
presented to the people of Kansas
bv so called reformers, for tho of
ice OF Secretary OF State. To
conclude: If our knowledge or
opinion of the man is worth any
thing we will say that no blacker
hearted william to-day treads Kan
sas son than Nelson Abbott
Winfield Courier.
Now is it not about time the
Kansas City Times anu INC Dal-
anee of the Democrats were begin
ming to give little attention to
clearing their own ticket from
charges Of corruption. -
