smashed, their brains kicked out, they will
actually 90 to law and try to get further
damages.

Shutting out the Enemy.

1t is better to shut out the enemy, Dis
ease, than to battle with him after be has
entered the fortress of the body. There
fore, if health is endangered by hurtfu
influences, such as malarious atmosphere,
unhealthy occupations, sedentary pursuits,
and those which necessirate undue
physical or mental strain or exposure in
rough weather, it is the part of wisdom to
protect it by the use of a reliable proven.
tive. No article sold, advertised or pre-
scribed is SO well adapted fer this purpose
as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an agree
able eficaeious tonic, recommended by
physicians as medicinal stimulant and
corrective, botanic in It's derivation, and
having for its spirituous basis old rye of
the purest quality, which preserves in an
understanding form the potent vegetable
juices and extracts combined with it.
Fortified with this benign preventive, the
system may bid defiance to disease. nc
matter how unfavorable the conditions.

The Louisiana Contrabands gave one oil
their unique and pleasant entertainments
before a good sized audience at the Union
Opera House last evening, all present
heartily and frequently manIfesting theil
appreciation OF the performance. The en-
tertainment, while possessing all the
choral features of the old and famous
Tennssseeans, adds pleasing variety by
way OF comic songs in grotesque costume
and quasi dramatic situations, that make
it less monotonous than the old jubilee
concerts since the novelty of such singing
has partially worn away. The Contra
bands have fine double quartette, with
four male and four female voices, besides
other singers, making up musical com.
Dany of thirteen, all of whom appear on
the stage together in the last part of the
performance. The programme opened
with jubilee songs, "Thar's meetin' here
to night, etc, following with some inter
esting instrumental music-violin, guitar
and organ-after which the comic quar-
tette do their specialties. More Jubilee
songs follow, and the concert closes with a
musical dramatic piece, in two acts apd
three scenes, aptly representing the condi-
ton of the colored race before and after
the abolition of slavery, and introducing
such modern melodies as The old home
amt what it used to be, Gathering shells
by the sea shore, etc.-CliRton Herald.

NATURES TRIUMPH. Mature, in her
luxuriance, has clothed the hills and the
dales with herb and shrub, whose occult
natures merely require the earnest appli-
cation of the scientific and inquiring mind
to reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world kindly providence
has placed healing for all nations. The
only specifics for any disease yet discovered
are vegetable ID their nature, and while
quinlne has been accepted as the only re-
medy for one class, the extract of the bu.
chu plant is rapidly taking its place IS SOW
ereign remedy for other Of those ills afiic,
humanity. The type of disease to which
it is remedial is broad one, and its mani
festatlons are legion. but it may be started
in general terms that all diseases of the
urinary organs, whether caused by climate
irregularity. or self-generated, submit Al
once to the operation of its power. Helm.

1t is nothing more than right and just that
the name of Ed. Evans should be handed
down to posterity, and that the owner
of that cognomen be known as bright
and original genius-and one who was de-
sirious to enhghten and inform his fellow
creatures. Sunday We had the pleasure
of driving on the new Pleasant Valley
road, above Moline, through an average
depth of about six inches of mud. At
last, reaching a dry knoll, we refined in
our horse to allow him an opportunity to
gather enough strength and breath to pull
us through another ocean of fathomless
mud which lay ahead. On our right
arose the mighty Moline baffs, thickly
covered with the monarchs of the forest
though rather small monarchs-which was
already assuming their autumn dress. In
the distance to our left, could be seen the
bluffs in our sister state, slipping gradually
to the shore Of the majestic father of
waters-wbich was also in plain view.

man, in an attitude as though intentiy

why the farmer who owned the land had
allowed this strip to go to waste; why he
had not extended his corn up to the fence;
why those weeds and the grass were
allowed to grow without some avenging
pillow or hoe to exterminate them-when,
all at once, our eye caught sight of a sign
