Haalth on a snra Rasis-

In order to establish health on a sure
basis. the enfeebled system must acquire
additional vigor. And yet, patent as this
fact is. and widely known as it is, too many
people neglect this vital point in the self
treatment of disease, and physicians are
very often equally remiss, resorting to the
use of pallia.ives which affect symptoms
only, and fail to accomplish the chief end
in view, which is, or should be, invigora.
ton. The main reason why Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are so successful In over
coming disease is that they impart vitality
where it is deficient, and thus build up a
superstructure for exhausted nature to
recuperate upon. The Bitters also i'm
prove the appetite, soothe the nervous
system when oyer-strained, and are a
genial and agreeable medicinal stimulant,
with basis of pure spirits holding in So
luton botanic elements of the greatest
efficacy.

Such is Fame.

One of our professional citizens met
another citizen whom he supposed was
well up" in ancient literature, and said to
him, 'Thatwas a sudden death of Theirs :"
who is Thiers?" was the reply. Such is
fame. Every American should know some
thing of the work of NJ. Theirs, the ex-
president of the third republic. of France
He was little over eighty years OF age.
having been born Ia April, 1897. For
nearly half century he has filed France
and almost the world with his fame as
journalist, historian, orator and statesman.
No one in France has had larger share in
molding her destinies, and nearly all his
life has been one long battle for liberty
and constitutional government. His first
office was under Louis PHILIPPE; his last
was after the fall of the empire, when he
brought France through the dark days Of
the commune to the present republic. M.
Theirs was a statesman of the very high
est order, and his career, which extended
over perhaps the most important period Of
French history, forms a large portion Of
the annals of his country. His death al
the present time is a severe blow to the
republic. He possessed the confidence Of
large portion of the French people. AND
in the present crisis his counsel, modera
ton, wisdom and patriotism were specially
needed. His death leaves Gambetta anc
the revolution face to face with the mar
shall of France.

Sweet Serenaders.

-Four young male musicians, of Hamlet,
Mercer county, impressed with the con-
viction of their having immense musical
talents, organized quartet the other eve
ming for the purpose of serenadiDg At
the instance of one of the musicians who
has dulcina, the daughter of farmer
near town, the serenading band repaired
to the residence of said farmer, and struck
up in the sweetest strains to the accom-
paniment Of guitar. The inmates of the
house had all gone to bed. When the ser
enaders had finished several songs and
paused for rest, also to watch for the
effect, the old man stepped to the front
door with a lamp in his hand, minus all
wearing apparel but shirt and drawers.
He invited the sweet singers inside with
great cordiality, Once in and seated, the
old gentleman passed along with the lamp,
scanning the features of each singer with
great circumspection, He then turned
and delivered himself about as follows:
"Therel that's ALL I just wanted to see
who we're such a id set of fools and
idiots as to come bowling around in this
style at this time of night. If you think
that me, OF any one of my family appre.
GATES such id nonsense you are mis-
taken. You can go; when you come again,
come like gentlemen. Good night! Good

Last Monday was dag long to be re.
membered in New Boston, Mercer county,
1t was the day of the election for city
officers. Tickets were made up, based
on good motives and sound principles; but
early in the day the election was resolved
into a direct and positive fight between
the women and license The polls were
surrounded by women, and their conduct
was, in the eyes of many, illegal and dis
gushing. Besides that, their insane efforts
defeated them. The ticket elected is as
follows: Mayor, A. lmber; alderman, Gid.

Injured by the Explosion of She

Injured by the Explosion of She'll
Some months ago there were thousands
of shells on the island, which the govern
ment decided to have emptied and broken
up. Great care was taken in experiment
ing with this work, until finally plan of
putting them in water was decided to be
the best and safest. The men have been
engaged in this work for several months
without a single accident, until this morn
ing about o'clock, when one of the shells
exploded, severely iDjuring James Cor
man, who lives in Davenport, and slightly
injuring William Kennedy, of this city.
Just how the thing happened, or what
caused the explosion, neither of the men
can tell. German was at work on shell
when it exploded. A ragged piece of iron
weighing about four ounces struck him
Just below the right cheek bone, breaking
the upper jaw, cutting through into his
mouth and lodged at the base of the ear,
where it had to be cut out by Hospital
Surgeon, DR.. Gregg. The index finger of
his left hand was injured, and had to be
amputated, and the palm of the same
hand was considerably lacersted. The
case is bad one, although there are hopes
Of ultimate recovery. The injured man,
at his own request, was sent to his home
in Davenport in an ambulance, in caarge
of the hospital steward.
William Kennedy, who was at work q
short distance from German, was struck
on the right wrist by one of the pieces
and was otherwise somewhat scratched
and bruised, but not seriously.
The work Of emptying those shells wal
nearly completed; a day or two more would
have finished the job.

Senator ingalls,, of Kansas, Opinion OF
Postmaster General Key.

1t is quite evident that Mr., Key is
neither credited with honesty by the re-
publicans or held in great respect by the
average southern gentleman. In recent
address Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas, took
occasion to express his opinion as follows:
when a repentant rebel is Gagged as a
cabinet minister and made the chief at
traction Of peripatetic menagerie, called
out at every railroad station and compelled
to speak his little defamation like a
naughty puppy by his master, telling the
multitude that he has been very wicked
but means to do better, and hopes to be
good Yankee, the spectacle is edifyiug
and instructive. The emotions of the
captive may be imagined, and the re-
spouse of the south is significantly solid.
A school of political pygmies, whom
Providence, for some iEscrutable purpose,
has placed in power. are endeaveriug to
pacify the country by debauching its con-
victions, by asserting that those who sought
to overthrow and destroy the government
are more entitled to its favors than those
who sacrificed all to uphold it; by attempt
| ing to obliterate the distinction between
right aud wrong, and to repeal the laws Of
God, they are seeking to put the new wine
of 1877 into the old bottles of 1860, with
| the probability of the ultimate loss of both
reoeptacles and contents"

Perseverance brings its own reward. All
our republican politicians will remember
Potter, who at ons time attempted to edit
the Davenport Gazette, and how he spread
himself over congressional politics on this
side of the river. Somehow Davenport
politicians did not appreciate Potter aud
did not nominate him for my Office or give
him the post Office, so he shook the dust
of that city from his feet and cast his line
in the more rural city of Clinton-It was
Martyr, we believe, who wrote. Our life is
one continued toll for fame, Potter has
