regular habit OF body is indis-
pensable to health; yet few disorders
are moro common than costiveness.
BY this term is implied sluggish con-
dition of the bowels, which causes
them TO retain their contents longer
than il consistant with heaith, aud
renders the act of evacuation difficult
and painful. Headache, dizziness,
feverishness, a sense of fulness in the
head, loss of memory, incapaci4y for
continuous mental effort and gene
raj feeling of oppression in the abdo-
minal region, are among the accom-.
paniments of this complaint. The spe.
cific for it is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. This famous stomachic and al
terative acts beuefcially upon the three
principal organs connected with the
processes of digestion, secretion and
excretion, viz: The stomach, the liver
and the intestines. Torpidity of the
liver is, in most cases. tho immediate
cause of constipation. Bile is mode
rately aperient. and if its regular dis.
charge into the upper bowels be in.
terrupted, obstrnctions accumulate and
harden in the intestinal canal, and
pnrgation becomes necessary. The
Bitters, being anti-bilious as we'll as
tonic and laxative, soon restore the
derelict liver to natural condition, as
we'll as relieve aud tone the bowels.
The result is the permanent establish
ment OF regular habit OF body. No
disorder OF the stomach or its depend
encies, no affection Of the nervous
system, no ailment involving physical
weakness and mental despondency,
can resist the renovatiug, regulating,
purifying operation of this famous al
teratiye. J26t3Tl

SOUTHERN CulvALRY-AN AaaR1EvED
PARTY.-The Philadelphia bulletin has
an editorial article Illuminating against
Southern bigotry and intolerance, be-
cause one Major A. r. Calhoun, of
Philadelphia, who purchased daily
pnper two years ago in Columbus. Ga =,
had been treated With contumely aud
ingratitude by some of the citizens,
because. on the Fourth Of July, he
''happened to remark. in AN editorial,
that Southern ohivalry is builder
dash. S1pposing that such were
the fact, Major Calhoun could hardly
have expected to convince the people
OF it by suoh an abrupt assertion after
30 short an acquaintance. Even ad.
mitting it to be- true. Major Calhoun
did not show himself person of much
sense or discretion in choosing that
way to cure the South of it. Suppos-
ing q Southern editor should go to the
North, and, after renidence of year
or two. should pronounce Yankee
philanthropy oil humbug and Yankee
enterprise a superior aptitude in cheat
ing ench other and other people, is it
probable that he would receive any
more favor or courteous treatment
than Major Calhoun received in Geur-
giu? Or. if such iniquity is conceivn-
ble, imagine that Il Southern editor
should go to Philadelphia. and on tue
Fourth Of july" 1876, "happcn to
remark" that the centennial was u huge
fraud. and, under the guise OF patriot
ism. mere swindling adventure of the
mercenury element of that city, what
would be his treatment? When gen
tleman goes into nnother gentleman 8
house, it Is not customary for him TO
tweak the nose of his host, or knock
his hat over his eyes, and call him an
old humbug and pretender; nor should
it be regarded as grcnt outrage if d
guest deporting himself in that way
should be shown the door. or at least
not be invited to stny or coll again.
The Bu2eiin has the kindness to in
form the world that "your true South
ern cavalier always stabs his enemy in
the back" The best remedy for that
is for his enemy not to ahow him his
back. Whatever else may he said OF
the Southern cavaliers" during our
late unhappy war, they were willing to
meet in the front the brave men who
showed them their faces, and if any
ono was stabbed in the back, it was
because he preferred to present his
back. instead Of his face. for the per-
formance of that operation.

BURIED ALIvE.-The horror of being
buried alive has been lately illustrated
in the case of q young man-W. B.
Lackhunt-who was buried in the
cemetery at Salt Lake, on the ga OF
last month. He was supposed to have
died of heart disease, and although
''the body presented singularly life
like appearance. two days only inter-
vened between the supposed death
and the interment. After the burial,
the anxiety of the friends led to the
body being exhumed, and torrible evil
dences were presented. in change in
the position of the body. the rending
of largo pieces of flesh from the face,
the pulling out of the hair, tearing Of
the grave clothes and coffin lining,
and the finger nails worn to the quick
in frantic efforts to escape, that the
man had been buried alive. That
such cases are Of rare occurrence, who
can prove? Some twenty years ngo,
the French Government instituted an
inquiry into hasty burial. A vencra.
bic archbishop addressed the French
, Assembly earnestly in favor of a longer
interval between death and interment
than was then customary. He said
th"t some fifty years before. q priest
was saying mass i'll the cathedral, when
he fell dead, apparently, at tho altar.
At his faneial, rs tho lid Of the coffin
was being closed, the eyes OF tho sup
posed dead man opened. and deep
sigh escaped his lips. He was brought
forth from tho coffin. aud for half
century afterwards, lived and roso to
high honors in his sacred calling. II
that speak unto you am he." said the
old Archbishop to the French Assem-
bly,; "the Young priest who died for IL
few days and was so nearly buried
alive, is the old man who now I'D
