An Innnsyverab Argument.

The strongest argument which can be
urged against the advisability of admin
istering such corrosive and nerve-des-
troyin@ poisons as arsenic and quinine
for intermittent and remittent fevers, is
the vastly superior success in the proven
ton and cure of such disease of medi-
cine which is the very antipode of the
above named drugs, both in respect OF It's
composition and the results wrought by
it. Such medicine is HOstetters Stom-
ach Bitters, purely vegetable prepare
ton, which not only eradicates with Won
derful promptitude every trace of fever
and aguc, and kindred types OF malarious
disease, from the system, but is certain
preventive of all maladies begotten Of
miasma-tainted air and water. These re-
suits mineral anti-febrile remedies do not
effect with certainty, and their continued
use entails consequences highly pernici-
Gus u the system. The Bitters, on the
contrary, not only afford speedy relief,
but establish health on permanent basis.

\ MISTRESS FOR THE WHITE HOUSE,
Next to the question of Tildens election,
no subject has elicted more attention,
especially in society, than that of his
marriage His conduct is such that it
would not Indicate the least suspicion
that he was connubially inclined; and
vet there are those who assert it as a
positive fact that his greatest wish, after
his election as President, is to secure an
accomplished and good woman as wife.
He wants one that will he every way
worthy of the high honor of being the
partner of the Chief Magistrate of the
nation. and who would officiate at the
White House receptions in q digniiied
and womanly manner, and smooth down
the ragged edge that would assuredly
follow were old Sammy there alone,
without such helmet. Fer such a lady
bn has been looking for several months
not only he, but all his intimate friends.
OF course subjects OF this character
are always sought for and discussed by
members of refined society with infinite
pleasure. \ good subject is more pala-
liable than a good meal Very little goes
.s,n in society that the ladies do not get
hold of, and the latest gossip IS that
Governor Tilden has determined upon
leading to the alter, soon after the cleo
ton, one of our most beautiful and &C
complished townswomen We only hope
this is true, and that the elegant lady
referred to will be called upon to do the
honors of the White House. No lady
in the land would fill the place with
more dignity and grace. She is one of
the most lovely of her albany

Born ON TIE FLY.-The Western
train which arrived at Camden Staff On
over the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
on Saturday afternoon, brought moth
er with two babes, ticketed from India
nopolis, Ind, to Crisfield, Nd. The
womaus name was Richardson, and
when she left Indianapolis she was
alone. She didn't stop nor the babes
weren't passed to her from any station.
Those babes were born OH the fly. Mrs.
Richardson left Cincinnati on Condnc-
tor Frank Harris train. She occupied
seat in the ladies' car, and had travel
ed a part of the night before from In
dianopolis, and looked sleepy and tired.
Mr.. Harris saw she was troubled, and
on asking her the cause was requested
to please send some married lady to her.
Mr.. Harris did so, and through the me-
dunn of this third party was informed
of the probable increase to the passen-
gers under his charge. The car was
cleared, and half all hour afterwards the
passengers were informed that two
bouncing boys had begun life at the rate
of thirty-fve miles an hour, and they
were very young boys, too. Excite
mcnt prevailed, propositions to stand
godfather for the pair were freely ten
dercd, and names in as great abundance
as in the first book of Chronicles were
proposed and refused At Athens on
the line of the road, the train stopped
long enough TO allow of certain neces-
sary clothing to be purchased, which the
passengers paid for, and the mother and
children came through without stop.
ping. Mrs. Richardson is the mother
of four other children, and makes her
home on the Easter. Shore Of Virginia.
She continued her journey to her South
ern home without delay
