Mineral Ren,edIe. snpercsded-

All except those who refuse to be con-
WINGED by the most positive proof, admit the
infinite superiority OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters to the mineral remedies which It has
to a very great extent superseded, and
which, it is to be hoped, for the sake OF the
human stomach, may eventually be aban-
doned altogether. The Bitters are q most po-
tent corrective of disorders of the liver,
stomach and kidneys. Habitual constipa-
ton, dyspepsia, bowel complaints, and the
numerous and ehangefuI ptoms which
indicate internal weakness or disease, are in
every instance not only relieved, but cured
by q persistent and systematic use of the
sovereign remedy. Intermittent and bill
lious remittent feyers may be surely pre-
vented by daily use of this powerful but
pleasant and mild tonic, Physical vigor is
the best armor in which to encounter dis
ase. Secure it by recourse to the Bitters.

A hegira of negroes has set in for Kan

drought of last season is suggested as the
cause of this sudden exodus from locali-
ty where wheat promises a bountiful har-

blacks, coming from Giles, hurry and
Rutherford counties, passed through here

From the Memphis Appeal
The eminent courtesy and ability with
which Mississippi's distinguished repre-
sentative in Congress has displayed in
sustaining his broad views and national
sentiments, has made him a favorite in
all parts of the country. The Alta Cal
ifornian thus speaks of him: Sin the
example set in Congress by Mr.. Lamar.
of Mississippi, who behaves like true
gentleman toward other members of the
House, his fellow-representatives have an
example which it would do them no in
jury to study and to follow He is ever
courteous never low an vulgar; never
insulting and abusive; never announcing
himself personally responsible, as used to
be too common in Congress, and which
bad specimen of bad breeding, bad man.
ners and bad feeling seem again coming
into vogue. He has made friends of both
sides of the House, not by pandering to
or fattering the vanity of either, but by
exhibiting a spirit of fairness on all Occa-
sions, an independence of thought truly
statesmanlike, but at the same time not
leaving his own political preferences at
all in doubt. Such men are an honor to
the country" The readers of the AP-
PEAL in Mississippi will no doubt be graf
flied to hear the name of their talented
representative in Congress so handsome
ly praised on the far off coasts of the
Pacific. But never was eulogy more just
or deserving

is such an ordinance, is there no way to en-
force it Do our city authorities ever heed

Next in atrocity to the crime of the human

which we have described of robbing the
dead of the mementoes which decorate their
