The strongest argument which can be
urged against the advertsabilty OF admin
istering such corrosive and nerve destroying
poisons as arsenic and qulnine for intermit-
tent and remittent fevtrsl is the vastly SUI
perlor success in the prevention and cure of
such diseosese of n medicine which is the
very antipole of the above named drugs,
both In respect of its cymposition and the
results wrought by 1t. Such medicine Is
Hostetter's Ltomach Bilters, a purely vege-
table preparation, which not only eradicatcs
with wonderful promptitude every trace of
fever and ngue, and kindred types of mala-
riouS disease, from the system, but is q GER
tain preventive of all malades begotten of
miasma tainted air and water. These results
mineral antl-febrile remedies do. not effect
with certainty, and their continued use en-
tails consequences highly pernicious to the
system. The Bltters, to the contrary, not
only afford speedy relief, but establish
health on permanent basis.

tearfully bruised and presenting sckening ap-

which was packed in 30 solidly that knife was

removed. There were several cuts upon the
oack of tho head, with one or two in front, and
under the chin. There were also marks upon
the neck, as if she had been strangled. There
were spots of blood upon the floor and wallis in

| PROBABLE ADJOURNMENT ON FRIDAY-THE ARcHIE
| GIVEN BILL-A coLoRED school. MEABURE--DE-
BATE ON THE EXEMPTION ACT.
Special Correspondence of the Commercial.
DOVER, Del, March "a.
1t is now generally understood that the Legis-
lature will adjourn sine die on Friday though no
definite action has been taken by either House,
except the suspension Of rule u, and the meet
ing of the House yesterday afternoon at
o'clock in order to hurry up the bust =
dess. Yesterday was another busy day in
both Houses. The bill meant to pay Archie
Given's fine reported back, in the House,
but with all provision for Archies relief struck
out, and its action made entirely prospective.
Even then, MIR. Baldwin earnestly opposed it,
and five votes were cast in the negative, on it's
passage.
THE coLoRED SCHOOL BILL.
This was disposed of, yesterday in quite
different manner from what was expected.
Messrs Houston and Fraim fought the bill, at
every step, and while the amendment to
exempt Sussex county from its provisions WAS
pending, it was feared by Mr.. Nowland and
others that it was best to adopt the amendment
and save the bill to Kent and New Castle. This
however, J. W. Phillips Of Sussex, objected to,
in which objection he was joined by his col
leagues, Mr.. Conwell and Mr.. G. II. Phillips, and
the amendment was defeated and the bill passed.
On the original bill, Messrs. Baldwin, Biggs,
NoWlhuu anu euecblNo rptocueb

of colored people 80 cents on S100. The tax is
to be collected by the regular collector and paid
to tile County Treasurer, and by him paid to the
Treasurer of the Delaware Association for the
Moral Improvement and Education Of the col
ored people, and by him distributed to the res
pective counties in proportion to the number OF
colored children. The Treasurer is held in a
bond of $4,000 for the faithful perfor-
nance of his duties. The bill has been read
twice in the Senate.
Another little bill came up in the House yes
terday afternoon. condensed into very;few words
but having
A VERY BIG MEANING
1t was simply to change 1880 into 1870, and
proposed to amend the law which provided for
a distribution of the school fund to the respec-
tive counties on the basis of the white populk-
ton Of 1880, and make it the white population
according to the census of 1870. The Kent and
Sussex members were too sharp to allow this to
be done, and the bill was defeated by all the
Kent anc Sussex members, except G. II. Phil
lips voting against it.
Another tilt took place on the bill to except
Sussex county from the provisions of the
EXEMPTION LAW
Messrs. Houston, Fraim, and G. 81. Phillipa
worked hard in the interests of a few merchants
squires, and constables. The bill, however, was
so vigorously attacked by some Of the New Cas-
tie and Kent members, aided by j. w. Phillips,
of Sussex, that it failed.
