ArMosPHRRIc DIsRAsRs The air, with
out which no creature could live, is tho
source Of diseasesof which millions die.
At this season, especially, the atmosphere
Is full Of the germs Of many kinds OF
sickness. Every globule Of the mist and
fog which cloud tho earth and sky in
spring holds in solution it's portion OF
miasmAtic poison.
The evil effects of this serial virus can
only be certainly averted by increasing
the vital activity of the system and
securing the full and FREQ exercise of all
its natural functions. and hence it is,
that Hostetters Stomach Bitters, the
great nerve strengthener. regulator and
antidots to malaria, is imperntively re-
qufred in the spring months.
1t is Mt this time, too. that Dyspepsia
assumes it's most distressing types, and
that persons of bilious habit usually
suffer most. There is an influence in the
air which depresses the spirits as we'll as
'the physical energies, and in order to re-
atore their elasticity, tonic trentment is
absolutely necessary.
All the world knows that the wonder
full efficacy Of Hostetters Bitters in cases
Of indigestion, biliousn ess, nervous prus-
tfation and malarious fever is due to the
potency of its tonic, Alternative anu ape
rient materials and the absolutely pure
stimulant with which they are incorpo-
nted. t'
It ia because the public have been
taught by twenty years experience; that
the article can be implicitly trusted--in-
asmuch AZ it performs uniformly and
certainly all that it III advertised 70 do
that they prefer this sovereign tonic to
every. other. Hence, it's immense and
eTer-incressing sales; and hence, too,
alssl the many oounterfeits and imita-
ttons. against which there is no safe
guard, except the close scrutiny of tho
purchaser. April 23 1871.

A FEAALE SAILoR.-In Scotland, a wo-
man lately died whose career has been
one OF singular experience for her sex.
Her name was Betsy Miller, the daughter
Of William Miller, q ship-owner and
wood merchant, doing bhsineas at the
port Of Glasgow. Miss Betsy, for she
was never married, was for more than
twenty years captain Of the good old brig
Cleotus, Of Saltcoats. She received her
command from her father, who at first
owned the brig. and ended by owning il
herself Her father was also Interested
IN several vessels which traded directly
With New York. Miss Betsy, before shc
went to sea. acted as "ship's husband 10
her father. an apprenticeship which gave
her all necessary experience, until, final
". her adventurous and romantic spirit
,impelled her to 60 to sea as q businesx
Her father at first somewhat reluctantly
'Rratified hcr caprice. but soon found that
Betsy was the best and most reliable CAP
tain In his employ. She il represented
Oh having shown remarkable qualifica-
tons for the position. proving to be a
skillful navigator, thorough aiscipIina-
ran and an excellent sailor. In port
she filed the position of supercargo, and
showed remarkable business qualifica-
tions, which brought the natural result
of pecupias snocsss. : She could always
have her choice of foremost hands; rs It
was considered great, good fortune
among the sailors to ship under the COM
mand of female captain. Betsy Miller
weathered the storms of the deep when
many commanders Of the sterner sex
have been driven to destruction upon
the rocks. Her story is well known in
the city Of Glasgow.

Gard of Thanks

This is to certify that have received
from Mr.. s. F. Coombs, up to this date
1853 90 from the citizens of Seattle, a
contribution to assist me on account of
the fire in my store, July 18th 1875, for
which they have my unbounded thanks
and hope that my conduct will always
merit your esteem which has been
evinced in this case of nay trial. In
connection with this deem it necessary
to make one or two statements: I was
away from my store about an hour
before the fire. had no insurance, and
all to lose and nothing to gain. In
my opinion the fire could not have been
caused by accident but by design over
which had no control. There was not
more than eight or ten pounds of pow
der in the store, which was the hum
BILE instrument to remove just in time
to save an explosion. Again allow me
to thank you for your kindness.
