IN Importart Fact.

The voluntary testimony OF thousands
establishes beyond all doubt fact Of Vi
tai importance to the sick and debilitat-
ed, viz: that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is an absolute specific for remittent and
intermittent fever, dyspepsia, coDstipa-
zion, biliousness, mental depression,
sleepIessness, chronic diarrhoea, and all
diseases of the stomach, liver, and bow
els. The unmedicated stimulents usuas-
y prescribed in these cases only agra
vats the symptoms instead of removing
them The Bitters, on the contrary, act
as a corrective AMI invigorant, without
producing the unpleasant and danger
Gus consequences Of the old school prac-
tice. The action Is mid and soothing to
the irritated stomach and bowels, pro
noting digestion and preventing Gatu-
lencY, nausea, headache, and eli iatesti-

There is a great deal said and written
these days about temperance and intern
perance, and all their kith and kin ofthe
spirit family. And I think there is a
great deal of Injustice, as well asssjustice.
to the whole family connection. For the
friends of temperance, charge all the
| crimes, the sorrOws- the troubles, woe
and suffering Of our beloved country to
spirituous and malt liquors. Now, l
take somew hat different view of the
subject from that of many Of my temper
.ance friends [ hold that Intoxicating
liquors, physically, have no moral evil
in them let them alone and they can do
you no harm. The same may be said of
the bayonet, the sword, the rifle and the
canon. Let them alone and they will do
you no harm. You may fill ell toe arse
mails in the world with all the munitions
of war, and as long as they are let alone
in store, they can DO no harm, but out
them to their use, or that which they
were intended, aud they become the in
struments, not only Of death, but of pain,
sorrow, and distress, and of woe and mis-
cry. The same is true of Intoxicating
liquors Let them alone-let them re-
main in the still-hcuses and warehouses,
and they are perfectly harmless. But,
like the implements of war, put them to
the use for which they were intended,
and they become the instrum ents Of sor-
row, disgrace, af8ction, and only
temporal death, but Of eternal
death, when used to excess. And not
death. Fer the word Of Gel declares
that no drunkard shall inherit the king

viii let old rye speak FOR himself:
l was made to be eaten,
And not to be drank,
To be threshed IN barn,
Not soaked in a tank.
l came as q blessing,
When put through a mill,
As blight and a curse
When run through a still.
Make me up 10 leaves,
And your children are fed,
But if into drink,

In bread I'm a servant,
The eater shall rule,
In drink I'm the master,
The drinker fool.
Then remem Der the warming,
My strength I'll employ,
IF eaten, to strengthen,
If drank, to destroy.

The steamer Pacific, lost the Other
day on the coast of Oregon, was com
manded by JEFF. Davis Howell, formerly
ofthe Confederate States navy, and, it
Is said, a brother-in-law of Hon. Jeirer-
son Davis. The Vicksburg Herald says
that Capt. Howell distinguished him
sell, not many months ago, by under
taking an almost desperate mission for
the rescue of distressed vessel, in the
Pacific waters, and now, we fear, his
bravery and spirit of intelligent daring,
have found watery grave.

sections to the mile. Both these pro-
visions have been advocated In the
columns Of THE HERALD as simple acts
Of Justice in the first case, and OF wise
policy in tho last. The second pro
vis0 of this section provides
"that no land certificate shall be issued
TO such company until they have
equipped, constructed aud in running
order, at least ten miles OF road, and
Oh the failure Of such company TO
comply with the terms Of It's charter,
or to ALLEVIATE its lands at a period TO be
fixed by law in no event to exceed
twelve years from the Issuance OF the
patent, all said lands shall be forfeited
the State and become portion of the
public domain and liable to location
and survey" The Convention very
unwisely, we think, struck out from
this section the provision which was
at first inserted, denying the right Of
the Legislature " to extend the time or
grant relief to any company obtaining
a grant or land certificate"
Section four limits the sale Of land
certificates at the Land Office to actual
settlers on the same, and then only in
tracks of one hundred and sixty acres.
Section five alludes to forfeited and
fraudulent land certificates, which are
declared null and void.
Section six is tile old provision, dom
ating to every head of n family one
hundred aud sixty acres of the public
land, and to single men eighty acres,
an location survey and residence of
three years.
Section seven releases to the owners
of the soil all mines and minerals that
may he on the same.
Section eight recognizes the validity
of grants of land from Spain or Mexico
TO citizens between the Nueces and the
Rio Grande owning the same, and
which have been heretofore recogni2-
ed by acts of the Legislature and who
have been prevented from complying
with the requirements Of said acts by
