Two Foes of Health.

Cold and damp are nlm'cal TO health, and
we generally have an unwholesome comoina-
ton Of the two this season. They penetrate
the skin and inieguments and affect the muscu-
lar, glandular and nervous organizations, pro-
ducing rheumatism, neuralgia, chllls and fever,
and where there is a tendency TO dyspepsia or
liver complaint, provoking an attack of indi-
gestion or biiou.ness. The best advice that
can be given under such circumstances is TO
keep the external surface of the body warmly
clothed, and 10 keep the internal organs IN
vigorous working order with The most whole
some and genial Of all tones, Hos,etter's Stom-
ach Bit,ers. Gradually but constantly this IA
mons invigoran, is superseding the adulerated
liquors Of commerce, as medicinal stimuiant
aud corrective, in all parts Of the country. 1t
will be happy day for humanity and II WIZ
surely come, when this pure restorative shall
have taken the place of raw spirits as stimu-
liant in all our public and priYcte hospitals. 1t
is not however, merely harmless substitute
for the fiery slin ulants referred to. lis stimu-
lating properties are not its chief merits, al
though in this regard il surpasses all the I'M
indicated products of the still, domestic or
imported. The powerful influence it exercises
over tie torpid and toneless stomach, the dia-
ordered liver the constPaled bowels, and the
oelaxed nerves, render il a positive specific in
dyspepsia, liver complaint, intestinal constric-
trion, nervous weakness ny pochoapria, rheuma-
tism and sleeplessness. All chronic complaints
are aggravated by cold, moist atmosphere,
and it is therefore particularly necessary for
those who are afflicted with ailments OF this
nature, whatever their type may be. TO meet
this predisposins cause of sickness with
wholesome antidote. Hostetter's Bitiers should
be taken daily at this season by ali persons la
boring under chronic ailments that tend to
weaken the system.

END OF THE McCARrY- MoRDEcAI DU-
ELlNG CAsE.-Verdict Of LavoIuntary
Manslaughier.-The trial OF w. Page
McCarty for killing John d. Mordecai
in duel last May, which had been pro
crossing in the Hastings Court at Rich
mono, Va, before Judge Guigon for
four days,was concluded Saturday even
ing and the case given to the jury at
seven o'clock. In few minutes they
returned for Instructions as to whether
they were required to find verdict OF
murder in the first degree or acquit the
accused. The judge instructed that
they were not so required. He then, at
the request of the jury, further instruct
ed them as to the various degrees of
murder and manslaughter, after which
the jury again retired. At nine o'clock
the jury returned verdict of involun-
tary manslaughter, and fixed the prison
er's fine at $500. Counsel for defense
asked for a suspension of judgment, and
moved to set aside the verdict, which
motion will be considered. Tide prison
err was bailed in $1,000. Previous to
the instruction by the court the jury
stood nine for acquittal and three for
murder in the first degree. There was
no demonstration in the court room,
which was densely crowded-only abuzz
apparently of establishment.

DUEL BETWEEN JEFF. DAVIS AND H..
$. FoorE.-And now we have an almost
incredible rGmor of a contemplated
duel between Mr.. Jefferson Davis and
II. S. Foote. of Mississippi, having its
origin in private letter written by Mr..
Davis more than two months ago in re-
gard to some published articles of Mr..
Foote which he regarded as abusive,
and which letter has found its way into
the papers. Mr. Davis is in his sixty
sixth year and church communicate,
and Mr, Foote was scventy-three last
September Mr.. FoOte has been en-
eaged ia three "affairs of honor" So
called. In his first duel with Mr.. Win
ston, of Tuscumbia, Alabama, he was
slightly wounded in the left shoulder.
He aiterward fought in Mississippi
with S. S. Prentiss, and was again
slightly injured. Still later he exchanged
shots with J. +. II. Claiborne, when
neither party was hurt. 1t he finally
perishes in that way it would seem to
he, in his case, a natural ieath.-BaHi-

SKATING WITH THE GIRLS.

Come, girls, get on your jockey hats,
Dress in your skating suits
Be sure to lace up snugly
Your pretty little boots.
And we will all 90 skating,
For the ice is clear and bright,
The moon will soon be up, my dears,
: Well have q lovely night.
Then soon we're off, a little hand
Tucked snugly meath each arm,
While all the boys are talking love,
And keeping darlings warm.
Oh don't you think its jolly,
Mixing up ones self with curls,
And going off on moonlight nights,
Skating with the girls !
But when it comes to putting OIL
Lord love US, amt it nice,
To hold the darling's little feet,
For they have to be precise.
Or the skates won't fit so snugly,
So, with twists and twiris,
How long it takes in putting on
The skates of pretty girls !!
The foot so small, so very trim
The boot so high and neat
Perhaps a glimpse of stocking white
May cause your heart to beat,
1t takes so long to put on skates
Of pretty ones with curls,
And yet we wish we always could
Go skating with the girls.

STARVATION IN New YORK.-A New
York paper of Saturday publishes three
cases of starvation in that city. First,
the case Of Michael O'Connell, a painter
by trade, and his family, consisting Of a
wife and two children. boy and girl,
in Thompson street. A reporter found
the man in his wretched bed, reduced
to skeleton. The woman was SO ema-
eiated as to be nearly helpless. The
children were under thirteen years of
age, and were actually starving for food,
the father having been without food for
two weeks. The man, it was thought,
was beyond help. In the same neigh
borhood, in the house opposite, Mrs.
Sarah Abingdon, aged sixty-two years,
died of starvation. The third case re-
ported was at Fordham village, on the
Harlem railroad, where respectable
and intelligent woman and three chill
dreu were discovered freezing and star
wing, the husband and father lying on
his death bed. Relief was promptly at
forded.

Size talked of the hair; the teeth; and
Che duty and privilege of women to be

the age of thirty-fve was larger, intel

and that the children Torn after she was
thirty-6ye years of age were better pro

should be ut the acme OF their strength,

THE BLOOD OF ALL THE Dents AND
GRANTS ARoUsED.-We find the follow
ing occupying the position of leading
editorial in the Alexandria Gazette, and
therefore, it must be true in every par
ticular
The Washington Capital of the 4th
instant contained some harsh comments
on Mrs. Grants receiving on New
Years day. On the following day the
article came to the notice of Lieutenant
Fred. Grant, and feeling indignant he
went to the residence of the editor of
the Capital for the purpose of resenting
the insult. He rang the bell and sent
in word by the servant that Mr.. Grant
would like to see Mr. Piatt. When the
door was opened Lieutenant Grant had
Il glimpse of Piatt at the far end of the
hall; but word was returned to him that
Piatt was not at home, but could be
found at his office in the day time.
Lieut.. Grant accordingly retired, while
Piatt wrote note to the chief of police,
Richards, saying that he had been men
aced by two rutiians armed with loaded
canes, and called for protection. Major
Richards accordingly detailed two po-
licemen to guard Piatts residence. 1t
is said that Piatt also stated to tho Chief
of Police that one of his would-be as
sailants was Lieut.. Grant, ana requested
his intercession to prevent Il breach of
the peace. Major Richards, in compli-
ance with this request, went to Gov.
Shepherd and got him out of a sick bed,
to 90 and see Gen. Babcock. a con-
ference was held, at which Mrs. Grant
and Lieut.. Grant were present, and
young Grant was finally persuaded not
to take any further steps in the matter.
He said he had no intention of shooting
Pitt, but did intend to whip him.
