if they conclude that it is doing them

Purify the Springs ofLiGe.

1t Is sine qua non Of health, that the
sources Of vitality, the Springs Of life,"
should be free from contamination. The
fluids which, by their action upon the
food, transformed 1t into blood, and the
great vital nutriment Itself, must be pure,
If the muscles, the bones and brain are to
be properly pourished aud kept vigorous.
To this eud the stomach, the liver, tlic
bowels and the kidneys should perform
uninterruptedly their various functions,
since IL these are disturbed the vital fluids
speedily become vitiated> The hest, nay
the only blood depurent which purifcs
them, by overcoming those bodily irregu-
larities which produce them, Is Hostel,
ter's Stomach Bitters. The principle
upon which this salutary Alternative acts
is as simple as it is philosophic. The Or
igin Of most diseases, and invariably those
which affect the organs above mentioned,
Is weakness, caused by insufficient as
similation Of the food. The Bitters speed
lily rectify the cause Of the difficulty by
restoring vigorous digestion, SO that all
parts Of the physical structure are sup
piled with an abundance Of pure, rich
blood. This increases the activity Of the
discharging organs, and enables them to
throw of the effetc matter, which, rank
ling in the system, destroys health. This
bodily refuse having been got rid Of, and
perfect ASSIMILATION re-established, there
Is nothing TO prevent a healthy and ac-
tive perfor m ance Of the various func-
lions. Such being the case, it i5plain
that the Bite rs are not only the most re-
liable Stomachic, but an eradicant Of those
diseases Of the lives, bowels and kidneys
which coptaminate the springs Of life.

GENERAL SHERMAN AND JEFFERSON DA-
yIs-GENERAL BRAGG on THE STAND.-The
Austiah (Texas) Statesman of July II
says:
DAYS during the past week. He referred,
I'm the course Of conversation, to the re-
cent assertion of General Sherman that he
had suspected Mr.. Jefferson Davis of COM
plicity with the assassins Of Mr.. Abraham
LincOn. General Bragg said that he had
seen Mr.. Davis tested In cases Of this sort,
and while two efforts were made by hired
assassins in 1864 to destroy Mr., Davis's
life he never manifested the least signs of
resentful feeling. 1t was in June, 1854,
that Mr.. Davis, when riding along the
defenses of Richmond, was fired at, the
bullets passing very near his person,
Once afterward he was shot at when In
the outskirts Of Richmond. But We pro-
pose to settle this question finally. Dahl
gren's raid will not soon be forgotten.
Colonel Dahlgren's address, as written
and signed by him, was memorized and
spoken or read to his followers, They
were disguised as spies, and were captur-
ed as spies inside of the Confederate lines,
They came, as stated, to murder Mr.. Da-
Wis. When captured and this paper was
IOuIlu tuc pcIsot VI tAhS Lhoh t<%eAAs
gren, Mr.. Dayis's cabinet and his military
staff cOncurred in declaring that the pris=
oners should be executed In accordance
with the laws of war, President Davis,
after reading the paper and finding that
he especially was designed to be assassi-
mated by Dahlgren, peremptorily forbade
other treatment than that according to
prisoners of war. General Bragg pre-
served photograph copies Of Col. Dahl
gren's 0rders.] III Mr.. Davis were capa-
Bile of enormities which Gen. Sherman
would ascribe to his Intervention he would
never have he=i;ated to punish with death
tho disguised followers Of Dahlgren.
And would It not be well for General
Sherman to remember that Mr.. Davis at
all times interviewed In behalf Of the con-
demned? 1t was the complaint Of many
Confederate leaders that nobody could be
executed who appealed to the President
for pardon. He spared Harrison Self.
the bridge burner of East Tennessee, and
each Unionist who became spy rather
than soldier, and was captured within the
Confederate lines"

I@ FLooDs.-Wfhin the last week
we hear of floods all over the country.
A great deal of damage has been sus-
tanned along the b. & o. r. r., in the
Western part of this State. At all
points along the road between Wheel
ing and Grafton there has been great
destruction of property and loss OF
grain. The town of Pennington is
almost completely submerged, water
being on the first floor of nearly all the
houses. A number Of heavy landslides
have occurred on the railroad, and four
bridges have been carried away on the
Petersburg branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. Tit loss in slaves
dressed headings, logs and barrels car
ried away from the vicinity Of New
Alartinsv:lle, will amount to over
100000. All low lands at Wheeling
are submerged.

The Lnte General Pickett.

The death of General George +. Pickett,
at Norfolk, Va, OIL Friday night, has al
ready been announced. AbOuttwO weeks
ago he arrived i'm that city OH tour of
inspection TO examine, as was his custom
at stated periods, the local office of the
Washington Life Insurance Company, he
being the general agent, and took lodg-
ings at the Atlantic Hotel, Soon after
his arrival he Was attacked with what
was thought to be an ordinary bilious
disorder. Medical aid Was summoned,
and for several days the case presented q
favorable aspect, when suddenly bad
symptoms appeared, aud soon thereafter
it was decided TO remove the general to
the Hospital of ST, Vincent de Paul i'm
order that he might have the attention Of
organized nurses. AS the disorder pro-
crossed the diagnosis was that the general
suffered from an abscess OH the liver, and
it was from this that the gallant soldier
finally died. He realized his danger at
an early day, and met his fate With dig
nifty and compOsure worthy his life aud
character. George 4. Pickett was born
i'm Henrico county, Va, in January, 1925,
and entered the Military Academy at
West Point i'm 1912, where he graduated,
and was assigned to duty with the army, ,
then in Mexico, with the rank Of brevet
second lieutenant. He advanced With
SCOTS column upon the City Of Mexico,
participated i'm the battles Of Courreras,
Cherubusco, Molino del Rey and Chapul-
tepec, and was twice promoted, ut the
latter place being advanced to the rank
of captain. at the end Of the war Capt.
Pickett was assigned to duty i'm the Terri
tories, and finally appeared OIL the Pacific
coast at the head OF his company, Of the
ninth infantry, where he displayed cool
ness and tenacity in holding the Island Of
St, Juan against a threatened British
force,
At the breaking out of the late civil war
he resigned his commission In the federal
army and entered the service of the Con-
federacy OH the Rappahannock rs colonel,
from which he was promoted to briga-
diership at williamsburg. At Gaines's
Mills in 1852, he was severely wounded,
and was constrained to remain absent
from his command for several months.
Soon after his return TO duty he was pro-
NOTED major general, and his division
consisted Of four Virginia brigades. Of
the fortunes Of this division, through tri-
umphs and disaster, it is NOT necessary TO
speak. Its enough to say that Pickett's
division, headed by its brave commander,
charged up that awful hill At Gettysburg,
and its men and officers fell thick among
the very guns Of their opponents

pUr RoBBING THE Massive learn
from the Spirit that on Thursday Of
last week, Deputy U. S. Marshal Alex

Leisenring, of Charlestown, arrested
and brought to Charles,own, John T.

tanning money belonging to Mrs. Mary

Every man, to a great extent, brings
on his own trouble, but don't try to
quench II in whiskey or narcotics. II
you begin this you must keep right
on with it until It leads you 70 ruin;
or you must add physical pain and
The consciousness of degradation to
the sorrow you seek to escape. OF
all wre,ched men, his condition is
must pitifal who, having sought to
drown his grief in drink, awakens
from his debauch with shattered
nerves, aching head and depressed
mind, to face the same troubles again.
That which at first was painful 10
contemplate will after drink, seem un-
bearable. Ten to one the fatal drink
will be again and again sought until its
victim sinks hopeless, pitiful and total

Work is the true remedy. If miafor-
tune hits you hard You should hit some
thing else hard-pitch into something
with will. There's nothing like good,
solid, absorbing work to cure trouble.
If you have met with losses, you don't
want to lie awake thinking of them.
You want sweet, calm, sound sleep and
to eat your dinner with appetite. But
You can't unless you work. If you say
YOU don't feel like work lard 60 lOafing

There are some troubles that time

never be healed at all, but all can be
helped by the panaeea, work. Try it,
You who are SO afflicted.
