How TO ENJOY WINTER-The Human
Organism is a regulated furnace. The
blood may be compared to the fuel, and
the more stable tissues formed from it, to
the iron stove containing the fuel Just
in proportion to the energy and celerity
with which life is carried on, this combus-
ton proceeds; and fresh fuel, that is, fresh
blood, is required. But, in order to obtain
this, there must be both food, and also di-
gestive energy. When there is failure
in this digestive energy, stimulants fire.
quently are had recourse to; but their eff
feet is transient and if used too long and
exclusively, they tend to derango the di-
gestive functions But let DR.. Gottliet
Fisch's Bitters be used in conjunction with
food, and its tonic qualities will rapidly
strengthen the digestive organs! AnG
when an abundance of wholesome food i:
once duly digested, it will bring about {
fullness of vitality hitherto utterly unknown
There will be no more desire for alcoholic
stimulantsl

CAN IT BE TRUE?-Within the last few
months considerable number of persons
have called upon DR.. WALKER, the pro-
prietor of the popular medicine known as
VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured him that,
in their belief, his preparations are an in
fallible antidote for rum and tobacco. The
minute details which have been furnished
him forbid him to doubt the accuracy of
the statements. This new claim ofa great
remedy to the confidence of the public will
give vast and well-deserved impulse to
its popularity Heretofore the BITTERs
have been recognized as pure vegetable
tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol, and
thoroughly adapted to the cure of the
stomach and bowel complaints, nervous
disorders, bilious affections, muscular dis
eases, and, indeed, majority of the all
ments within the reach of medicine; but
if it will also cure the craving for liquor
and tobacco, philosophers, statesmen and
theologians ought TO unite their voices in
it's praise Can the good things be true
it's easy to test the question.

The era of good feeling between the
North and South is gradually returning,
aided in its coming by the thoughtluIness
OF the men who mosttuIly experienced the
perlls OF deadly estrangement. At Mobile,
on Tuesday last, the graves of the Con
federate dead were strewn with flowers,
and before the conclusion Of the ceremony
Admiral Semmes was presented with a
floral testimonial by Colonel Wickersham,
the postmaster and formerly Federal Off
Ger. 1t was offered, said the Colonel, with
the kindly and Sympathetic greetings of
surviving Union soldiers, resident in Mobile,
who honor the brave and heroic dead of
the late war, and ask the acceptance Of the
Testimonial as u tribute to valor and unset,
n-u uevuCDn to u cause held GGarer than
life. Semmes replied happily. A monu-
mont to the Confederate dead was then un
yelled amid salyos of artillery, the govern.
ment lOaning the guns Tor the purpose.
Another peace-making incident OF the DC.
castor was presentation from the officers
OF the United States army stationed in
Alabama to the Mobile cadets, as a mark
OF respect To the memory of their gallant
dead. and III recognition of their manly
and general action in contributing To the
decUratiOn OF the graves in the National
cemetery at Mobile last year. If Lord
John B. Hawley had been there he would

A large portion Of the $72,000 which
Mr.. Chittenden ("Count Fosct paid to
his mysterious friend Kirkland to pay the
national debt'-in other words, to get an
immensely valuable paving contract for
De(5olyer & McClelland,- has at last been
traced directly to the firm of Alexander
r. Shepherd Il Co., Alexander X, Shep-
herd being at that time, and now, governor
of the District of Columbia. His partner,
the Go" OF the concern, was one VIM. S.
Moore, and Moore was the man who re-
ceived the bribe-money from Kirkland.
Upon the development of this astounding
fact, the firm OF Alexander r. Shepherd
& Co. is dissolved, Moore retiring, and
Shepherd coming forward with very long
face on him and protesting most vehement
| " that he never knew anything about it,
that ne never got any Of the money, that il
was the saddest day of his life when the
fact got out, and that he now, on finding
it out, considers that his partner in bust.
cess was an infamous scouudrel whether
tor taking the bribe-money or for not d.
viding fairly does not appear. This pro-
test of Mr.. Alexander r. Shepherd will be
universally looked upon as too thin.
| In addition to this startling revelation Of
J wholesale bribery, it is stated further
developments are of very damaging char
acter" One of these further develop
ments relates to the go-between, Kirkland,
who was present in Washington some days
ago, but who has mysteriousiy disappeared,
with $4,000 in his pocket paid by the
District ring as the price of his absence.

One of the most stupid mistakes mag
Unable is the belief on the part OF working
men that more money means prosperity
for them. 1t means only more paper promi.
ses for day work, and which will be az
companied by rise in prices so that the
purchasing power of the value of a day S
labor will not be increased. If mechan-
ic wishes to earn only promises to pay witt
out reference to their purchasing power, he
would do well to take his pay in confederate
money, of which he can earn several thous
and dollars by a single days labor. 1t the
working men and women. who have sui
fered so much during and since the panic
would only reflect that the panic
was the direct result of speculatlons caused
by cheap money. and that more cheaE
money would assuredly result in another
panic and another period of suffering, they
certainly would not be in favor of further
