A Hint to DyspePt1cR.
Medical Journal

We have seen dyspeptics who suffered
untold torments with almost every kind
of food. No liquid could be taken with
out suffering; bread became a burning
acid; meat aud milk were solid and
liquid fires. We have seen these same
sufferers trying to avoid food and drink,
and even going to the enemy syringe
for sustenance. And we have seen their
tOrments pass away and their hunger
relieved by living upon the white of eggs
which had been boiled in bubbling water
for thirty minutes. At the end OF the
week we have given the hard yolk of
the egg, with the white, and upon this
diet alone, with fluid of any kind, we
have seen them begin to gain flesh, and
strength, and refreshing sleep. After
weeks Of this treatment they have been
able, with care, to begin upon food.

The contest for the senstOTship grows
in magnitude every day. Ia addition to
the suggestions already published in the
APPEAL, we have several, among which
are those OF the Chattanooga Times
(LcmOcIst) and Chattanooga CONNER
cial SRepublican), which both suggest
Judge ID. NJ. Key as the successor Of
Andrew johnson. The Commercial
ssys: 1.-THE judge is pronounced
enough in his Democracy to satisfy the
most fastidious Of his party; and surely
it can be- no disparagement to say that
many Of his fellow-citizens, opposed to
him politically, would personally rejoice
at his promotion" The jackson Dis
patch, with all due respect to Messrs.
Brown, Bate, Harris, Pillow and other
eminent aspirsnts, hOists the name OF
Judge John L. T. Sneed, Of Shelby, as a
man eninently qualified to fiji lie posi-
tion, and says il thinks Tennessee could
not better subserve her own interests
and those Of me ration than by appoint
lng Lin 10 ill the uneypired term Of
Andrew Johnson. In Sneed we have
man that would reflect honor
aud credit on the State and ns-
ton at large in that national FORUM
The West Tennessee Democrat steers
wide OF all these suggestions aud offers
the name Of John A. Gardner, Of Wesk-
ly, Of whom It says: with truth and
csndOr, we do not believe that the
mantle Of Mr.. Johnson can fall on
worthier shoulders, or that apy
other nomination would give more
general satisfaction. We ask our gov
ernor to draw him from the quiet OF his
home and books, and let him serve his
State in the councils OF the nation that
he would so highly adorn with his
splendid talents, liberal culture, great
and disinterested patriot

The New York Tribune still sticks
to it that President Grant asked De-
lanO, secretary OF the interior, for bis
resignation, and through its Washington
correspondent, iusists that the Presi-
dents first request that Secretary De-
lano resign was not based on the fraudu-
lent transactions Of the Indian ring,
although those had long been known,
and some Of them had been repeatedly
exposed in the Tribune and other jour-
nails. In Apr! last the President OBJ
tanned positive proof that the secretary's
son bad been in the habit of black-maiI-
ing persons who had business with the
land office; and that when Mr.. Delano
was informed Of the facts he took no
efficient measures to stop the dishonest
practices. His neglect aroused grave
suspicious; in fact, among some, that
the secretary himself possibly shared in
the spOils. At any rate he seemed will
ing that John Delano should make
sll the money he could, and
ne conveniently closed his eyes
to anything irregular IN the meth
cd. One instance in which Secretary
DelanO's attention was called to John
Dslsno's matchmaking operations oc-
Cured more than year ago. The gen.
uemsn on whose authority the story is
told is prominent clergyman Of Chica-
go, a college classmate Of Sec
rotary Fish, who sent to that gentleman
a full statement Of facts, which Mr.. Fish
no doubt laid before General Grant. 1t
was the knowledge that such things as
these were Transporting in the interior
department that first led the President
TO ask Secretary Delano for his resigna-
ton. The exposure Of the frauds Of the
Indian ring has only made it the more
desirable. And yet Delano holds on
and Grant wants a third term.

startling tones, and then al was still,
save the voice of beating RAIN and the
faint echo Of a Tetrcsting storm, On
awakening from his sleep of electricity,
he found that hjs horse was gone, the

weak and pOWerless. His left shoulder
was bruised and paraiyzed-his left hip
bleeding from a rent that had deprived
him Of at least a pound of flesh, and the
