SOME idea of the distress in Arkansas,
consequent on the failure of crops, may be

that no execution shall issue upon any judg-

that no sale shall be made upon any decree in

The Stomach as an Avcnger.

For every breach iu the laws of health that we
commit the stomach inflicts a penalty. Headache,
billiousness, nervous tremors, constipation, collie,
heartburn, nausea, debility and mental depression
are only few Of the punishments which an out
ragged stomach is capable of imposing upon u.s. To
bring back this vengeful organ its normal condition
to placate, invigorate and regulate it-there is
nothing in the wide world potent as a course of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Under the operation of
this benefcent vegetable corrective and tonic, the
gastric juice becomes pnre and healthful solvent
and resumes its natural flow. The effect is the same
ON the hillary secretion and in fact all the fluids of
the body and the final result is the removal of every
painful or unpleasant symptom occasioned by the re-
bellious action of the digestive organ

OBSCENE POSTAL CARDs.-A Washington
special says that the mischievous character of
the postal cards. urged at the time the law was
under consideration by Congress- seems to be
realized, for it is source of great complaint at
the Post Office Department that cards of a very
coarse, vulgar and improper character are very
frequently in the mails. This is particularly
true since the Beecher scandal arose. The mails
are burdened with cards containing improper
aud ribald Jokes and doggerel having reference
to the Brooklyn scandal, and postmasters are
directed to exercise unusual care to prevent
such cards passing through the mails.

Obituary.
Rev. Amos BrowA, LID.

This distinguished teacher, professor and
minister, died at Havana, N. Y, August 9th.
He will be remembered by many of the readers
of the PREssias the successful principal of Frye
burg and of Gorham cademies for term of
years, commencing in 1885 and terminating in
1S4S, when he was called to the pastorate of the
Congregational church in Machas, where he
devoted all his energies to the work of the min
istry for three years. Afterward he was prin-
cipal of seminary at Ovid, New York, and in
1858 he removed from Ovid to Havana to en-
gage in the preparatory work in the establish
ment of the Peoples College, of New York.
He was President of this college for several
years, and was compelled to retire in conse-
Quence of decline of health, the result of a
protracted strain upon his nervous energies to
complete the fayorite plan of his life. For
several years DR.. Brown devoted his energies
in procuring the passage through Congress
of the Agricultural College bill, and there is
abundant testimony that the success of this
measure was mainly owing to his persevering
efforts. He will long be remembered as one of
the distinguished educators of the country.
He was born in Kensington N. H., March 18th
1904. His pupils were strongly attached to
him, for whom he cherished paternal inter-
est and affection. And many in this state will
read the announcement of his death with un-
feigned sorrow. F. R.

A FRENCH DECIsIoN.-The French gre pc
culiar people, and their popularity comes out
in queer spots sometimes A recent judicial
decision is an instance of it. Who would sup
pose that a man hasn't right to his own
name? Yet French court has decided that
undsr certain circumstances he hasn't. It
seems that Dutchman named Moet, has been
selling champagne. using the brand s'Moet &
Co" which some purchasers have confounded
with the brand of Meet & Chandon, the we'll
known wine dealers. The latter firm brought
suit against Meet, who was ordered to discon-
tinue using the title ON his wines, and was also
fined $1,000 damages. This appears clear case of
injustice, If man may not use his own name
ia his business the case is certainly hard. Meet
may have had fraudulent purpose in his use
of his own name, but to prove such a fact
would be extremely difficult. The point in
volved in this French decision is that a man
may make trademark of name which he
bears in common with. others, and thus shut all
others of that name out of the line of business
he purSues.

CROPS IN NEBRASKA. The Governor Of Ne
braska has made a report in regard to the

short in amount over those of last year, the
prospect on the whole is favorable. Small
grain averages well in yield and quality; corn
crop, less than an average; roots, short; fruits,
abundant, but poor in quality; oats and hay,
moderate. The wheat crop is exceptionally

MCMAHON AS THE AvATAR OF NAPOLEON
III.-The French peasantry, says wise Lon
don Times correspondent don't believe that
Napoleon III is dead, and Marshal MeMahon's
recent journey through the provinces, intended
to convince them of his tangible existence, has
had just the contrary effect, for they now say
they have seen the emperor himself, dressed
he always was, with mustaches and short hair,
just little grayer than formerly. They were,
it is true, told that it was the marshal-presi-
dent, but they knew better, they were sure
that the empire existed in Paris, and as for
this septennat, what sort of fable was that?
But it really makes no odds what the French
peasants believe, and one might as reasonably
despair for the republic when the Pennsylvania
Dutchmen vote for Andrew Jacksn. as con-
slider France lost when the people see in Nc
Mahon only revived Napoleon.
