SIGNALS OF DISTRESS. s.-When the
eyes have become dull and heavy, tha
nervous system motbidly sensitive, the
muscles haccid. the complexion sallow.
the body languid. the mind listless,
and the fire and energy which shoald
characterize health huve wholly or
measurably disappeared, the indi-
vidnal exhibiting these symptoms may
take it for granted that his stomach is
diseased. his liver disordered, his
blood impure or impoverished. and
his constitutional stamina and vitality
impaired. What his case requires is
immediate and judicious medical treat
ment. He need not, however. put
himself to the expense Of consulting
physician. It is as clear as the sun in
a cloudless sky that he is dyspeptic,
and it is as certain as any demonstrated
fnct can be that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will cure dyspepsia ond all the
brood of bodily aud mental ills of
which it is the parent. Let him com.
mence course of the remedy at once.
and, following the directions faithfully,
continue to take it until every disa-
greenble symptom shall have disap-
peared. If il be case of long stand
ing, the cure will not be sudden and
immediate. The great tonic and cor
rective, potent us it is, does not work
miracles; but surely, though gradu-
ally, it will restore the sufferer to per-
feet health. From day to day his eyes
will become brighter, his nerves firmer,
his muscles more elastic, his COM
plexion iresher and clearer, his spirits
brisker. In due time he will be once
moro in ct condition to fight the
battle OF life vigorously and effe ctively,
and will admit that, if dyspepsia is our
national disease, we have in Hostel
.er's Dtters national specific equal to
the emergency. Aug 8 1871

JE WHO WAS ALSO PRESENT.

JOHN mitchell IN IRELAND. -Con.
trary to the expectation of his friends,
Mr. John Mitchell, the well.known
Irish patriot, was allowed to land in
Ireland Without inter ferencs from the
authorities. It will be remembered
that twenty .sevon years ago Mr..
Mitchell was sentenced to imprison-
mont for life on account of the part he
took In on attempt ut insurrection.
Not liking life in the penal colonies,
he escaped to America. and has ever
since maintained an unfinching atli-
tude Of hostility to tho Government Of
Great Britain. His return to Ireland
IN defiance of his sentunce naturally
produced deep sensation, and tho
welcome which be received on his
arrivali in Cork expressed truly enough
the esteem in which this uuhinching
opponent Of English rule in Ireland is
held by his compatriots. The streets
of Cork we're illuminated by bonfiree,
end torch-light procession. in which
nearly 5000 persons took part, accom-.
panied by bands OF music, serenaded
the returned "felon." It was charao-
teristic of the Eoan, that the first words
spoken in public were fierce denun-
citation of the Government. He I'D
mitted that he might be cast into
prison at any time, without even pre-
tence of II crime, but consoled himself
with the reflection that every one OF
his bearers was in exactly the same
predicament. He took occnsion to in-
form all whom it might concern, that
he had returned in the hope of being
able ''to do something effective in the
struggle of his country against foreign
domination" There must be some.
thing heroic in the nature of man
who stands thus boldly forward in de-.
fence of what he conceives to be the
right. The indifference to his personal
safety and devotion to his cause shown
by Mr. Mitchell. in voluntarily placing
himself in the power of his enemies,
because he conceived it wns right that
he should do 80, must win for him the
respect even of those who cannot share
either his hopes or his aspirations.

A CHANCE FOR THE TRULY "LoIL. -
At the close of tho last session of Con-
gress. law was passed to extend the
time for filing claims against the United
States to July LIST, 1875. Many per-
sons not aware that they had good
claims have hitherto made no efforts
towards filing and recovering the
same. All who were loyal, minors, the
very aged and infirm of both sexes,
cripples, and persons of impaired
mind, may now have an opportunity
OF being reimbursed for property
taken by the United States army or
navy during the war, il their situation
was euoh that they did not or could
not do any act OF disloyal.y. Claims
for property taken after June 80. 1865.

claimed by President johnson, NAV
also be recovered without proof Of

STYLES AT SARAToGA.-Jepny Juue,
writing from Saratoga, is authority for
some spicy fashion gossip FROM tlut
resort. Two years ago, bellies were
performing all the evolutious of the
exaggerated "Grecian bend" Nov
they show slender backs. perfectly
straight. and innocent of tho smallest
atom Of tournure. The head is small
now, the puffs. braids and curls hnv-
ing all gone; the hair is combed tightly
up, and disposed off in single braid
laid straight and close to the back of
tta head. The front hair is combed
smooth to the side Of the face, in little
wavelets, and when the eyes are turned
up, the look OF Innocence and simpli-
oity combined is extremely captivating.
Fashion is just now known, though
not wholly. by its simplicity. absence
OF puffs, panniers, punched skirts and
the re-nppearance of many old ideas;
plain skirts, spencer waists. side pock-
cts. close.tittiDg bodies, &c. A great
deal Of rich embroidery is seen. Co.
lors are trimmed with the self mate
rial, or the costume is of two shades of
materials-''composite." White and
black toiiettes are among the most
costly. Black grenadines are made
with two skirts. with an apron OF
black lace over, and "cuirass" jacket,
sleeveless and of striped jet. Other
grenadines are hemmed with black
thread lace and worn with pale blue or
pink sashes. Spencer waists of pink
Or blue silk, with black or white skirts,
are not uncommon. Fans universally
hang from the side.

Many who are suffering from the
effects Of the warm weather and are
debilitated, are advised by physicians
to take moderate amounts of whiskey
two or three times during the day. In
little while, those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number
of "drinks," and in time become con-
firmed inebriates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended espe-
cially for the benefit OF debilitated
persons, whether at home or abroad, is
DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices Of many medicinal
herbs, this preparation does not create
an appetite for the intoxicating cup.
The nourishing and the life.supportipg
properties of many valuable natural
productions contained in it and we'll
known to medical men have most
strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate it's
valuable qualities. For debility aris-
ing from sickness, over -exertion or
from any cnuse whatever, wine
glassful of Sea Weed Tonic, taken
after meals, will strengthen the sto-
mach and create an appetite for whole
some food. To oil who are about
leaving their homes, we desire to cay
that the excellent effects of DR..
Sohenok's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. are
particularly evident when taken by
those who are iniuriously affected by
change OF water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking q
supply OF these safeguards along. For

The Tennessee Public Schools
in Statu Quo.

STATE SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE,
June p, 1S74.-In a circu-
lar letter, bearing date May q, 1874, and
issuing from this office, the provisions
of the constitution and school law of
Tennessee were cited as being in conflict
with those of the Civil Rights BID then
about to become a law, and
the following advise was thereupon
given:
Gin view of the fact that in many of
the counties, schools, now closed, are
expected to be re-opened for the sum
mer season, in the month of June, and
inasmuch as it is desirable to avoid, as
far as possible, the embarrassments that
would necessarily follow the enactment
of the civil rights bill, deem it the
part of prudence to suggest that, for the
present, and until further advised, no
new contracts with teachers, for either
white or colOred schools, be entered into
by school directors. BY observing this
suggestion, much complication and un-
necessary expense may be avoided"
That circular, which was merely adj
visory in its nature, was designed to ac-
cOmpIish, first, the purpose set out in
its text, and, secondly, to indicate in an
official way, the utter mpracticability
of maintaining a State system OF public
! schools in Tennessee, in accordance with
the provisions Of the civil rights bill.
1t was thought such presentation OF
the case might assist the attention,
and help to stay the action of such ad-
vocates of the bill as protested to be the
friends of popular education; and there
is reason for believing that, i'll this re-
/ gard, it was not altogether without effect.
At any rate, no serious harm has result
cd from the PRONUNCIATION of .he docu-
ment. Congress has adjourned and the
civil rights bill has not become law.
The suggestion contained in the para
| graph above quoted, therefore, is with
/ drawn, and School Directors will go
forward in the employment of teachers
and the maintenance of the public
! schools. both white and colored, as be-
| fore. JNO. Nj. FLEMING, State Sup't.
