John Mitchell.

This distinguished Irishman-with the
worldwide reputation of patriot, a
scholar and gentleman--is dead, and
his death win be a source Of regret TO all
who adms~e the earnest, the pure and the
generous among men. He was born
Nov. 8, 1916, in county Derry, Ireland.
He graduated at Trinity College, Dub
lin, in 1880. He practiced law, and az
forwards tuTned his attention topolitical
Journalism, editing the Dss6lin Nation
with such vigor as 40 provoke the wrath
of the government. In 1S47 he started
the United LJIshH0n, which led TO his
conviction for treason, and sentence of
transportation for fourteen years. In
1854 he effected his escape from Austria
liza, and arrived In New York, where he
started the paper known as the Citizen.
He afterwards moved to Knoxville, Ten
nessec, where he published the Southern
Citizen, which he transferred to Wash
ingtOn. His death is universally regret
ted in the Southern States of this Union.
In the late war he espoused their cause
and devoted his superior talents to its
advocacy and futherance throughout the
struggle, and in public speech deliver
ed in Ireland just before his death (the
last public speech he ever made) having
been tainted with the epithet of South
ern rebel, he boldly declared the pride
that ne felt in the course he had pursued
in behalf of Southern independence.
Two of his sons died in the Confederate
service, one at Fort Sumpter, the other
on the field of Gettysburg. The third
his whole duty as a soldier
in the same service, and is spared TO his
widowed mother. It viii be remember
ed that the county of Tipperary, Ire
land, elected him a member of the Brit
ish Parliament few weeks ago, that he
was expelled from that body on the
ground that he was an escaped convict
and had never been pardoned, and that
another election having been ordered he
was returned by an increased majority.
The death of Mr.. Mirchell relieves the
British Government of grave embarrass-
ment, while his repeated election in
spite of the action of Parliament, shows
The esteem and confidence in which he
was held by his Irish fellow citizens
All honor to the memory of John

The Baltimore papers of the Goth
March contain notice Of the raising of
the hull of the steamer Louisiana which
was sunk in Chesapeake Bay in Novem
her last. Amongst the cabin furniture
engulphed with the vessel was one of
StieT's grand square pianos To the
astonishment of every one who has seen
IL, when the instrument was gotten out,
it was found to be in good preservation.
The frame Is az perfect as when first
placed in position, not a string broke,
and all In good tune. The sounding
board is also in an excellent state of pre-
servation. When IL is considered that the
piano was subjected to the action of the
salt water for over four months, its pre-
servation testifies strongly in behalf of
the superb workmanship of the Messrs.
Stieh. Although glue is mainly used In
jnining and ia nearly every other portion
.of the piano, there does not appear even
a crack or opening in any part of the IN
strunent. This piano was purchased of
the Messrs Stlc4f by the Bay Line Com
pany some four years since, when the
Louisiana was refitted at an expense of
SO, 600. The Messrs. Stieff have placed

The stomach has been well named t'royal or
gan since it sways and controls the entire SYSTEM
every gland, tissue and nerve sympsthizing with it
as the servants Of prince sympathiEe with their
master. Each one of them is fed and sustained by
iteven the brain itself, the centre Of sensation
absolutely dependent upon it for sustenanee. Con-
seqaently, when the stomach fails to perform its
aIl-important Office, the subordinate organs also
falter In their duty. The reason why Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters have such woIdreusly beneficial
effect upon the general health, and are such a re-
liable preventive of disease is that they speedily
overcome weakness or disorders Of the stomach
and thus insure complete nourishment Of the en-
tire system and healthfuI performance ofits vari
Gus functions. Unlike those stimnlants whose al
coholie principle il unmodihed by judicious medi-
cation, the spritaous basis of these Btters which
is of tine purest description, holds in solution herb
al alternatives and invigOrants to which foremost
rank has been assigned in maferia medica But il
a not alone the fact that these sovereign botanfie
elements enter into the composition Of the Btters
that constitutes them such benign tonic aud cor
receive, but also that they happily combined
that the fun effect Of each is exerted upon thr dis
ordered or debilitated system. The digestive aud
