ATRAIN oP Evils. weakness Of the
stomach Ii allowed to become chronic,
the following evils supervene: Digestion
is permanently impaired, the system il
very lmperfectly nourished, the blood
becomes thin and watery, and the bile
being unemployed for digestive and eva
cuative purposes, enters tho circulation
through the thoratic duct, and, ,injocta
itself into the superficial vessels, giving
to the skin md whites of the eyes the
saffron tinge indicative Of billiousness.
Headache, nausea, constipation, pains in
the side, palpitations, heartburn, dikI.
ness and many other harrassing symp-
toms which accompany the internal do
rangement above described, which, If TN
checked, is as sure to be followed 10y
serious disease, MS the rising of the sun
by its setting. It is manifest, therefore,
that an inability of the stomach to act
upon the food should be overcome with
out delay. The invigorating influence
upon that organ of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is speedily felt in the disappear
ancc of all the disagreeable symptoms al
luded to. The prescribed mineral reme-
dies for general debility usually fail to
achieve any lasting result, because they
do not invigorate the stomach; Hostel
ters Bitters always succeed because that
is their primal effect. The very fact that
they are such ON excellent stomachic con.
stitutes them one of the best general
tonics in existence. To restore digeatioc
is the final step towards the recovery, of
health, when impaired by any of the
multifarious complaints which spfing
from dyspepsia, and that step will be
found to have been taken by the invalid
who has availed himself of this famous
anti-dyspeptic remedy. Mi9f3T1

WHAT Is BoNANzA?-Perhaps not all
of our readers know the meaning of tho
word bonanza. Literally, says the New
Orleans Picayune, it is o ''boon" or free
gift" Spanish America conferred the
word upon us, and Nevada accepts the
"free GIT" as illustrative of the treasures
Of silver with which her mountains
abound. When vain of remarkably rich
ore is found in unexpected places, not
in the predicted direction in which we'll
conducted ore ought to run, but diago-
nally through seyeral mines, this is called
bonanza. It comes as a boon. and
q boon it is named in the sonorous sylla-
bles Of the Castilian tongue.

The Flood of Claims,

Just year ago, in tho expiring hours
Of the Senate, whole lot of villainous
claims were passed, to pay which taxes
now have to be levied upon tho people.
Yesterday, it was engaged in the same
sort of work. $4,000 of the peoples
money were voted away with tho most
reckless unconcern. This claim bust
ness has succeeded to the lavish pay GER
tificate business, and is almost rs danger
GUS and ruinous ON evil as it was. If it
goes on, what il to prevent the lcgalizing
Of millions by simple resolution of the
Legislature? The safeguard of the Go
vernor's veto cannot arrest them. No
thing that is now devised can stop them.
We are pleased to notice that Mr.. Coch-
ran, Senator from Anderson, has invented
check, in the shape Of bill which pro-
vides for tho manner of passing claims
against the State by tho General Assem-
bly,. Itrequires that they shall be sub
mitted in the form of bills, and be
considered in the regular manner of
bills, as prescribed in the Constitution.
On their passage, the, vouchers and
papers connected with the claims, shall
be filed with the Comptroller or the
Clerks of the two Houses, and on tho
presentation Of his or their receipt, the
presiding officers Of both branches of tho
General Assembly shall issue joint GER
tificate for the claims, to be nttcsted by
the Clerks of the two Houses. This GER
tificato shall set forth the amount, nature
and date of the allowance of such claims.
This is an excellent and necessary bill.
1t will afford check upon what is On
outrage and a nuisance, and tend to pre-
vent an evil which threatens to swamp
tho country, just as the reckless pay GER
tifcate system did.

AAo oohcIal fASSoluDly has Docu IN
session since the Oath of November, 1874
-122 days. Early in its history, it fixed
the pay Of tho members ut 5000 the ses-
sion. Great WIS the struggle and deep
the study necessary to get round the
Constitution, which provides for per
diem payment, in order to make the sum
respectable. We heard Senators and
Representatives argue that, after oil, it
was beneath the valuo of their services,
which were worth in their Wow 5000 or
$1,000. Now we have come to the close,
and we understand that in certain quar-
ters the regret is poignant thnt they did
not adhere to the Constitution and make
the pay Sc day. You sec, 122 days. Mt
Sc day, would make the amount 1872
for each member. Having fixed the pay
at 5000, there is clear loss of ST32
apiece. Another source of disappoint-
me1t hAs been in the unkindness of fate
in not enabling the General Assembly to
indulge in the luxury of nm extra ses-
sion. The Legislative forecast WAS shown
III nAlllS the pay OF an expected extra
session ut the same amount M for the
regular session. The next thing in order
was to adjourn before passing the appro-
priation bill, and throw upon the Co
vernon the duty Of calling them together
again to pass it. The Governor made no
sign. In fact, it got abroad thnt he
would not interfere with tho agricultural
and other lnbors in which the members
might become engaged. He would not
convene thom in extra session to pass
the appropriation or my other bill. So
the scheme Of IN extra session and extra
salary fnded away, and now has como the
end, and the sad consciousness that S132
has been as good rs thrown away. All,
me! what losses do environ the men who
devote themselves to the service of their
countryi

\ lnte report of the Anglo-.Americnn
Relief Committee gives some distressing
particulars in relation to the famine in
Asia Minor. From the facts presented,
1t appears that the want of food was far
moro common and widespread than is
generally known. In one town, contain
ing 800 persons year ago, more than 400
men, women and children died, and 100
wandered away in search of food, and
never returned. Akali. before the fa-
mine, was inhabited by 1,2O0 souls. It
now has only GOO. Fully one-hnlf of the
population died from starvation and dis
eases incident to such condition of af-
fairs From other portions of the famine
smitten land. like accounts are received.
The populations Of Yura, Knrnjali, Hns-
sandaidi, have been reduced fifty per
cent, and the people obliged to burn the
materials of their dwellings, to keep from
freezing. The most horrid tales are in
circulation in relation to parents eating
their children, and old people being
sacrificed to save families in. the hour of
nbject destitution. Aid has been sent to
this portion Of Asia from England, and
also from Constantinople, but not in suf-
ficicnt quantities to meet the pressing
demands of the people.

day nfter the announcement of his doath.
which put !, sudden end to the plans he
therein explains. Writing before his
second election, lie says: IF returned,
will not 30 to Parliament, and never in
tended to do 80, because l have never
seen what benefit Tippenry or any other
County has ever derived from being rep
resented in that Parliament" Further
more, he would not contest the seat if re-
fcrrcd to the Court of Common Pleas
What, then. was to be gained: This he
explains in Il characteristic paragraph
"Tipperary,' he Says. ''will stand vir-
tuall v DISTINGUISHED, besides being greatly

The Omaha Lee Of Tuesday evening con.
tairs the following account of the sinking
Of about three-quarters of an acre of ground
near that city. 1t says: "A very strange
phenomenon happened some time dur.
ing past six months, about amile southeast
if Judge Hascall's residence south Of the
city. About three quarters Of an acre Of
land, located upon high ground, has recent
ly been discovered to have sunk to depth
Of from fifteen to twenty feet. On one side
the earth is very abrupt. while on the other
it is more sloping. All the underbrush
that covered it up has been swallowed up
and an oak tree that stood fifteen feet high
now only shows its topmost branches. 1t
is a sinkage, and not land slide, and the
only way to account for It is, that tho land
was located over subterranean spring or
stream, and that the sinking was caused by
the action of the water. The discovery Of
this strange phehomenon was made by the
sons of Mr.. Sauter. living ia the vicinity,
who came home and informed their father
that they had come very near slipping into
big crack in the earth. This led to an
investigation with the above results. The
people of the neghborhood have manifested
considerable curiosity over the remarkable
occurrence"

Coolcy's sitting Hen.

Cooley has had some trouble with
ono of his hens. She wanted TO sit
and he didn't want her to. He put
her under o barrel, ducked her at the
pump, throw her into tho air and rea-
soned with her, but she would persist
in gong back TO the nest. Finally he
put hot porcelain egg under her; she
skipped about until 1t cooled, and then
she returned and sat on the egg with
the air of having resolutely determined
to hatch q set of crockery and q couple
OF flower pots out of the porcelain de-
fusion. Then Cooley resolved to blow
her on. He placed half q pound of
powder under the nest, and laid a
slow match out to the yard. AS soon
as he saw the hen safely seated, hewent
into the kitchen to get light. Mean
time, Mrs. Cooley entered the hen
house to hunt for eggs and to ascer-
tain II that idiotic chicken was sitting
yet. Then Cooley came out and fired
the train. In couple of minutes there
was q fearful explosion. A second
later, Mrs. Cooley emerged precipi-
lately from the door with her mouth
full of feathers, her hair full of blazing
straw and warm blood, and an assort-
ment Of drumsticks, gizzards and
claws distributed around over her,
dress. Then she made . dash at
Cooley. What the result was / do
not know. But I met him on the fol-
lowing Tuesday with oourt-plaster on

from the Dubuque Times.
Michael Scott, thick.lippcd, retreating-
browed son of Ham, untinctured by the
faintest trace OF white blood, who killed
Cotton on a boat last summer, and who
was found guilty by the jury week or
more ago Of murder in the second degree,
came up for sentence yesterday. No one
would accuse him, from his looks, as he
stood there before them, of being q second
Fred Douglass, and yet that poor negro,
when the formal question was asked,
whether the prisoner at the bar had any
thing to say why judgement should not be
passed on him, pleaded with such eloquence
as to knock two years off his sentence. He
commenced his address with off Your Hon.
or please" and went on in a ready, elo.
quent manner to defend himself, maintain
ing. with no small degree of fairness, that
he had given the fatal blow only after re-
peated insults and assaults by the deceased,
and that there was no one on the boat thai
really knew what amount of provocation
he had had. He finished by saying: Il
know OF no law that compsls men to sacri.
flee their lives for another. We have but
one instance oft, that on the pages of sa-
cred history. Christ died for man, but He
was God. Man is not supposed to, and
cannot possess the power Of self-control and
the casting out Of self enough for this; /
did what did with the firm belief that my
life was at stake, and that there was no
way to avoid the result. lam DONE" Judge
Wilson then stated that 1t was his intention
TO sentence him for term OF fifteen years,
but he would in view Of the facts set forth
by him, reduce the time to thirteen years,
and that il, after reasonable time, the Of
fcers of the Penitentiary gave favorable
report of his conduct, he would take steps
With view to bis pardon.
