The stopping Stone 10 Health,

The acquisition OF vital energy is the
stepping stone to health. When the system
lacks vitality, the various organs dag in
their duty, become chemically irregular,
and disease Is eventually instituted. To
pryeent this unhsppy state Of things, the de.
bilitated system should be built up by the
use OF that inimitable touic, Hostetters
Stomach Bltters, which ~invigorates the
digestive organs, and insures the thorough
conversion Of food into blood OF a nour-
ishing quality, from whence every muscle,
nerve aud fiber acquire unwonted supplies
OF yigor, and the whole system experiences
the beneficial effect. Appetite returns, the
system is refreshed by healthful slumber,
the nerves grow strong and calm, the
despondency begotten OF chronic indiges-
tion and an uncertain state OF health dts.

The CONGRESS.
Berlin, July 9.-It is believed that the
congress has decided that while Austria
receives Batoum as free rort, the territory
principally inhabited by Lasis is excepted
from Russian control. In return for this
conclusion, the British plenipotentarics &C.
cepted the substitution Of an expression
essentially commercial, instead of exclusive.
ly commercial as applied to Batoum. Much
controversy has been proceeding on::the
subject of sanjaj of Tofia between the Rms.
sian and Austrian military delegates; the
latter proposing strategica! line reducing
the territory of the sanjak nearly one-half.
1t is understood that Count Schouvaloff.
has retained the territory which the mill.

the sanjak.

THE INDIAN WAR.
From the Washington Sta


Delegate Fem, of Idaho has received let.
ters and telegrams from his constituents
setting forth the condition of affairs in that
section Of the country Is very serious. In
his territory alone and in the portion Of Or
egon Immediately bordering on it, from one
thousand to fifteen hundred hostile Indians
are virtually committed to war, and some
ofthem are already driving off horses and
cattle. The beef derived from the cattle
they are drying for future use. The fort
resses in which they can retreat are as mac
cessible IS any portion of the territory which
the Modocs occupy in their famous war.
Mr.. Fem eaid yesterday to = reporter of
The Star that from his intimate knowledge
of the country and of the Indians, he was
convinced that the Indian war would be an
almost general one. What we have already
heard of it is only the beginning. 1t would
assume much larger proportions, and it
would be impossible to thoroughly suppress
it before the advent of another winter, and
the disappearance of the grass where the
Indian feeds his pony.
