other first class house in the city. 1t is

at Rock Island Arsenal, the buckles having been
cast from the metallic rims and plugs of unservice-

suffer from. 1t attacks all stations and
conditions of life, There is a constant
dread of impending dangers, the Damo-
Giles sword of an imaginary evil is sus-
pened over, morbid sensitiviness as to
the thoughts and actions of others, &c.
This disease generally arises from AN at
lection of the liver, stomach, urinary or
gans. &C., and can be successfully combat
ted by the aid of rest and light diet, and
the use of remedy which will restore new
force, promote secretions and excretions,
and give tone to the whole system. Such
a health restoring remedy has been found
in the Home Stomach Bitters.

What Blaine Escapes.

Blaine hasresigned his seat in the house,
and has been appointed to the seat made
vacant in the senate by the appointment
Of Senator Morrill, as secretary of
the treasury, and the New York Herald
says:
1--WE congratulate Blaine In the senate
he escapes the house investigation, which
was taking an ugly turn. Upon that he
will receive our warmest congratulations,
He will not be required to give up
Muligans letters, nor to answer to the
house fer contempt in tampering with a
witness and offering him consulship if he
would leave. and refusing to give up to the
house evidence which was the property OF
its witness. We cannot see how Blaine
could have escaped severe censure, or per-
haps expulsion. Ii the house had any
regard for its authority it would have
censured or expelled him."
