Forbidden to Celebrate washington's
Birth Davi

Would you believe it? Would any man
admit that we live under military dictor
ship? But it is true, and the people of
South Carolina have been forbidden By
Grant to celebrate Washington's birth day,
and by his order the army is directed to
prevent it. And last night the admipistra-
ton, to soften the force of this shocking
order, sent off the following by telegraph
to all the papers:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Ihe reason given for the
presidents interference to prevent military observ-
ance OF Washingtons birthday in Charleston S.
c. is,according to official and other representations
made to him, that serious disturbances from such
demonstration were apprehanded, owing to the ex-
clted state OF the parties and which might extend
| to other localities.
People of Rock Island. who, tonight,
the Old Settlers, the Engineers, etc. etc,
are celebrating,the birth day Of Washing
ton, should not forget that their fellow
eountrymen in South Carolina were for
bldden to march in the streets to-day il
honor OF that eyent-forbidden by our Re
publican King at Washington, who ordered
the army to suppress the procession
Gov. Hoffman, of New York, called GU
the military to protect the Orangemen in
public procession! Grant, our Republi
can King, uses the peoples arms to pre-
vent the people from celebrating the brit
day Of the Father of his Country! Peopl

Aching Heads and Uneasy Nerves

Are often soothed by Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters, because that searching
corrective completely removes the cause
of brain and nerve excitement, which are
to be found in arrangement of the stomach,
and its associate organs, the liver and
bowels. 1t is a truth which cannot be too
earnestly insisted upon, that the effect of
mere sedatives and narcotics, like bromide
Of potassium, valerian, choral hydrate and
opium, is less appreciable the longer they
are used, and that they can never per
manently relieve nervous excitability, be-
cause they cannot remedy the weakness
and organic arrangement which lies at it's
roots Hostetter's Bitters, however, can
and does cure nervous maladies. for the
reasons already stated. Sick headache,
restlessness at night, vertigo, mental
heaviness, and depression of spirits, as well
as the dyspeptic condition Of the stomach,
and torpidity Of the liver and bowels,
which give rise to them, are entirely
obviated by this benign Alternative tonic.
