On the down hill side of life, which an old
medical writer quantity terms "the wrong side Of
the meridian" when the functions decay and the
frame gradually bends under the weight Of years,
the system requires to be sustained unier the
burden imposed upon it Innuuerable physical
ailments and iufrmitie' then press upon it to
which it had been in earlier life stranger. The
surost and pleasantest support of declining years
is found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. long re-
cognized as the most wholesome and agreeable Of
diffasible stimulants, the most potent Of tonics
and Alternatives. The aged and inf m may place
implicit confidence in this invigorating elixir.
which not only checks those maladies 10 which
ed erly persons are peculiarly subject, but in a
measure retards the encroachments of time uFon

a New Motive Power.

The possibility Of employing carbOnic
acid rs Il motor-thc successor of steam,
as it is tcrmed-has been discussed at con-
siderable length by DR.. Bcins in the Lon
don Chemical NciCS, the article being
produced quite generally by the scientific
press. DR.. Beins considers that he has
discovered a very cheap way of producing
carbonic acid in liquid state, and conse-
quently at high tension Thus, when
natrium bicarbonatc or the Sponding
salt of kalirm in a dry pulverized state or
in watery solution is heated in a closed
space Il part of the corbonic acid is given
of and condensed in non-heatcd por-
ton of that space, so that, at temporal
turc of from 63G degrees to SAB degrees
Fahrenheit, liquid carbonic acid. says DR..
Bcins, can be distilled out of those salts
with a tension of from fifty to sixty at
mOspheres. This liquid carbonic acid OF
carboeum. as it is called, it is proposed tC
use to develop gas with which engines are
to be driven, instead Of by steam, as al
present, and further experiments with ;
view to the accomplishment of this pun,
pose win be looked forward to with mucl
interest.

know that IL can be remedied This
law has been in operation for so short n
time that | am reluctant to recommend
any radicals changes, but ! would sug-
gest that the rate of postage on mer-
chaudise should be doubled [; that Is,
the rate should be one cent for each
ounce or fraction thereof, instead of
one cent for each two ounces. Very
respectfully, yours,
MARHABL JEWELL,
Postmaster General.
In the communication above refer
red to, uperintendeut Bangs presents
statistics of the amounts Of all the
different classes of matter mailed at
the fifty largest pnst-ollices i'm the
United States duriug the four weeks
ended December %, l874--that month
being selected because it included the
season when the mails would likely
be used to greater extent in forM ard
ing holiday goods.
From these statistics il appears that
of the 1, SAB 0iS pounds of all classes Of
matter mailed during that time at
these fifty offices there was 50 per cent.
of first class matter, Gl3 Of the second
class, and so per cent. Of the third
class, and of the third class only no.
| 473 pounds, or only 2-5 per cent. of
/ the total of all classes embraced "sam-
/ pies of merchandise. Other statistics
/ presented show that samples of mer-
chandise " occupied less Of the mail ia
! cilties than books or any other class.
Mr., Bangs says it is not probable
that the mail will ever be used to for
ward articles of particular value or
delicate texture great distances except
between places destitute of express fa-
cilities :. and he says this provision for
mailing merchandise should be retain
ed on account Of its many advantages
to the public. among which he mem
tions the reduction Of rates by express
companies, the facilities afforded to
those who are settling remote portions
Of our country, and the extension OF
the certainty aud dispatch of the mails
in cases where time is important. He
argues, however, that there should be
one uniform rate and weight for al
articles of the third class, and shows
that in most cases this would not in.
crease the present cost of Transports
ton. In conclusion he claims to have
proved that the deficiency of the Post
Office Department is not in any way
attributable to samples Of merchandis,
or other third-class matter.

Question of Veracity.

A couple of weeks ago, we gave the substance of a Phenix dispatch to the effect that @ MT. Smith had arrived there looking out line for the South ern Pacific railroad to cross SIX miles below Ehrenberg and go direct to Phenix. The Sentinel jumps this matter in way that shows earnest ness, and this is from the milder part of that papers remarks:
 It is safe to say that neither Smith nor any other man was at Phenix rep resenting the Southern Pacific rail road. It is too thin. Besides this, the idea of railroad bridge crossing the Colorado six miles below Ehren berg IS absurd in the extreme. Every man who knows anything about the Colorado river, knows that a railroad bridge cannot cross at any point be- tween The Needles and Yuma. We have no objection to the people of Phenix having railroad. We would rejoice at it. But groundless, sensa- tional dispatches like that to which we have referred, can do them no good.
 Now, the operator at Phenix has the floor, and although we have no disposition to become 8 party to this affair we cannot refrain from quoting the following from The Miner of Au- gust 13:
 Charley Beach has returned from Ehrenberg. He saw the Southern Pacific engineers at the river. Smith, the chief, informed him that it was pretty nearly settled that the road will cross the Colorado at or near Ehrenberg, in which case 1t will probably not miss Wickenburg very far, on its way to Florence.

District Court Matters.

District court opened formally August .2, and was adjourned from day to day til the 7th, when the regular business was taken up and continued to be heard from day to day until August the 16th when it adjourned to October i. This adjournment was ordered in response tc a petition of the Bar setting forth that many cases would be then ready for hear ing The jury was discharged for the term on the 18th. During the term 2 number of cases were called and heard ir part or whole.
 On the Eth, Messrs. E. B. Pomroy and Stephen G. Marcou were duly admitted tc practice.
 On the 10th, Judge W. J. Osborn was duly appointed commissioner of the court with all the powers conferred by law.
 We take this occasion to say that Mir. J. B. Auston, district court clerk, is now in stalled in the new office provided for him on the east side of the courthouse plaza, aid also that we regard him as an atten' tive, pleasant and obliging officer.

JUDGE ANDERSON came in from Florence by Thursdays stage and returned yester- day. He says everybody about there feels that the mining prospects are very good. The day he started from Florence, the owners of the Silver King brought fifty pounds of refined silver to E. N. Fish & Co.'s store, which had been smelt- ed and refined in Florence He says Messrs. Arey and Hughes are at work
 with their furnace across the river, and that Messrs. Jennings & Ruggles are now building enlarged works just north of Col Ruggles' residence. A water power is available there to run the blower to the furnace. These new works are to be fin ished with all possible dispatch, and will afford quite extensive facilities for reduc- tion of all classes of ores. MT. Jennings stands high as metallurgist, and no doubts are entertained of complete suc- cess of the new works.

 warrant was duly issued to Sheriff Oury.
 Both as Boards of Supervisors and Equal ization, adjourned on the sixteenth. The members presented their bills for services to the Probate Judge for approval. Up to yesterday, the Judge had not taken final action on these bills, as he deemed it pru- dent to have an opinion herewith from the District Attorney.
 The Board has been in session from time to time from the first Monday In July to
 the 18th inst. During this as well as pre-
 vious terms, we have received the notes of
 proceedings from MT. S. w. Carpenter, the clerk. His kindness has been real ser
