A Gentle Hint.

In ourstyle of climate, with its sud-
den changes of temperature-rain,
wind and sunshine often intermingled
in single day-it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause. A bottle OF
Boschee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will
prevent serious sickness, q large doc
tors bill, and perhaps death, by the
use of three or four doses. For cur
ing Consumption, Hemmorrhages,
pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group OF
any diseases of the Throat or Lungs,
it's success is simply wonderful, as
your druggist win tell you. German
Syrup is now sold in every town and
village on this continent. Sample
bottles for trial Zoe; regular size, 75c

Speaker Randall by bis casting
vote defeated au amendment to the
appropriation bill previdinG for an
increase of the clerical force III The
Surgeon Generals office. This Is nee
essary in order to bring up and settle
the ninety thousand pension claims
now awaiting adjustment. As the

rears behind, it is unfortunate That
provision can not be made for the
Immediate settlement of every one OF
these just claims.
The opening of the Paris Exposl-
ton has given to the world another
evidence of our national skill ana
genius. Gen. Mccormick, with the
aid of his assistants, has secured
| far better collection of American pro-
ducts than was sent to Vienna or to
Paris in 1867. The public schools OF
this city have just added to the list
four thousand exhibits of work by
pupils and teachers, consisting Oh
specimens of writing and map draw

model school building, perfect IN all
the needed appliances, to be erected
in this city and named after Prof.
Henry. the distinguished President
of the Smithsonian Institute. The
list of dead-head commissioners at
the Exposition numbers $50, only q
part of whom can under the rules be
accredited to this country, bnt the

/ will furnish field of usefulness to ali

we produced $40, 900, 900 bushels OF
corn. 500, O0O, 900 of wheat, and raised
8, O48, 500 hogs, with horses, cattle and

The Antecedents of Disease.

Among the antecedents of disease are in
ertness in the circulation of the blood, an
unnaturally attenuated condition of the
physique, indicating that the life current is
deficient in nutritive properties, a wan, hag-
gard look, inability to digest the food, loss
Of appetite, sleep and strength, and a SEN
sation of unnatural languor. All these may
be regarded as among the indieia of APP
preaching disease, which viii eventually
attack the system and overwhelm it, if it is
not built up and fortified in advance. In
vigorate, then, without loss of time, making
choice of the greatest vitalizing agent ex-
tant. Hesfetter's Stomach Bitters, an elixir
which has given health and vigor to myriads
of the sick and debilitated, which is
avonched by physicians and analysis to be
pure as we'll as effective, which is immense
" popular in this country, and extensively
used abroad, and which has been for years
past one OF the leading medicinal staples of
America.

Hon. j. Ii. Acklen, who has the honor
of being the youngest member of Con-
gress, is by birth Louisianian. He
graduated at Burlington College, and
then successfully at two foreign uni
yersities, returned to America, and
after two years study of the law
commenced to practice. He repre-
sents the Third District of his State,
the great sugar district of Louisiana,
which is largely Republican. His re-
markable success in defeating the
Republican candidate in this district
has become part of the political his
tory of his State, and the rare political
skill, united to the untiring energy
with which he personally managed
his contest there, won him the we'll
deserved praise of both parties. Old
politicians have predicted for him a
brilliant political future, as he unites
to splendid education, wealth and
truly remarkable energy and per-
severance in all that he undertakes.
Colonel Acklen is universal
favorite in Washington society and in
the House of Representatives, where
his polished manners and agreeable
address have won him many warm
and appreciative friends. He is al
ways at his post, and untiring, con-
scientious, and faithful in his efforts
in committee and open session of ths
House, to serve his constituents ami
the whole people, and to aid in pro

he is at present pushing to Thorough

His labors here, aside from his gal
LIANT fight in the contest with his pre-
decessor, would alone entitle him t
denomination and election, but j
j addition to these facts, numerous let

SAN FRANo1soo, June 10.-In an
affair with the Indians near South
Mountain, Awybee County, Idaho,
tour citizens we're killed aud wound
ed and one is missing. The latter is
believed to have been killed. Rein.
forcements have been sent, and an
other fight was expected yesterday.
A considerable body of Indians was
seen last night near Cold Spring
station, IS miles from Boise Civ. All
accounts agree that Indians are Con-
tinually passing across the stage road
and across Suake River, between Big
Comos prairie and the scene of hos
tilities il Awybee County. General
Howard is expected at Boise City
on Tuesday, and a column OF troops
from Westville will arrive a day
later. The Indians will probably
make their first sta d in the Junipe,
Mountain region, but it is evident
that only portion of their fighting
force is there. They will also remain
in the Lava Beds until destl Dyed or
forced to surrender.

VALUE OF Owls = A correspondent
of an English periodical says that a
pair Of barn owls, which occupied
the loft Of an outbuilding for several
years, and reared young, has proved
themselves valuable by the number
of field and garden mice which they
have destroyed. He had waiched
them after sunset, and saw them
bring ip every few minutes d mouse
.or young rat To plsads strongly
for owls.

will most cheerfully add my tes-
timony TO the great number you
have already received in favor of
your great and good medicine,
Vegetine, for 1 do not think en-
Iough can be said in its praise; for
| was troubled over thirty years
with that dreadful disease, Ca
tarrh, and had such bad cough
ing spells that it would seem as
though never could breathe any
more, and Vegetine has cured me;
and do feel to thank God all the
time that there is so good q medi-
cine as Vegetine, and L also think
it is one of the best medicines for
coughs, and weak, sinking feel>
ings at the stomach, and advise
every body to take the Vegetine,
for l can assure them it is one of
the best medicines that ever was.
