The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the
stepping stone to health. When the sys-
TEN lacks vitality, the various organs flag
in the duty, becomes chemically irregular,
and disease is eventually instituted. To
prevent this unhappy state of things, the
debilitated system should be built up by
the use of that inimitab!e tonic, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters which invigorate the d.
gesfive organs. and insrres the thorough
conversion of food into blood of a uonrish-
ing quality, from whence every muscle,
nerve and fiber acquire nnwonted supplies
of vigor, and the whole system experiences
the beneficial effect. Appetite returns, the
system is refreshed by healthful slumber,
the nerves grow strong and calm, the de-
spondency begotten OF chronic Indigestion
and an uncertain state of health disappears,
and that sal'cw appearance of the skin Pc
cuiar to habituai inyalids, and persons
deficient in vital energy, is replaced by q
more hecomiag tinge. 47-4-w.

How much Eiquor was Consumed in the
United states during the year ending
June 3oth 1877.

The Rochester Democrat says that
Prof. Henry \. Ward, of that city,
having been applied to by member Of
the British Parliament for statistics in
regard to the liquor traffic in this coun-
try, in turn applied to the Commission
or Of Internal Revenue and received
from him the following letter:
SIR: Your letter of the 18th inst,
to the honorable Secretary of the Inter-
ior, asking for some statistics 10 re-
gard to the liquor traffic in the United
States for member Of the English
Parliament, was referred to this Office
on the 18th inst In reply, / have the
honor to state that the Gully official in
formation | can give you on the subject
is derived from returns to the Treasury
Department Of the quantities CT domes-
tic spirits aud malt liquors on which
tax has been paid, and imported liquors
that have been Withdrawn for consump-
ton. The returns for the fiscal year
ending June Both, 1877, are as fol-
lows:
Spirits distilled from Whatever
materials, gallons. ,45o, $3.50
Ale, beer, lager beer, aud porter
barrels 902 1858
Imported spirits of all kinds, gal
1886, $40
Imported wines in casks and bot
/. ties, T23. AGO
The following is a statement of the
amount of special or license taxes paid
to the Government by dealers in liquors
during the same year:
Retail dealers in spurious liquors,
$50 each $40 ,459
Wholesale dealers in spiritoas
liquors, 500 each................... 449, 729
Retail dealers in malt liquors az
clnsively, $40 each ................. lat sol
Wholesale dealers In malt liquors
exclusively $50 each AZ ,0ol
Thus 1t appears there was upward Of
10000 liquor dealers in the country
that year.
From the above and other data Hon
Edward Young, Chief Of the Bureau oil
Statistics, estimates the amount Of
money annually expended in the
United States for liquors by consumers
to hepearly $500 600. 900.

Is Ii second sight.

Father Leamon Of Chico, is 70 years
Of age, and for many years has been un-
able to read without spectaeles. On
Sunday last he went to neishboring
settlement to preach, but aceileutly left
his spectacles at home. Apologizing for
the necessity Of dispensing with the Gus
tomary rea.iing Of the scriptures and
hymns, he prayed with much fervor,
then from force Of habit, he opened the
Bible, aud strange as it may appear, his
sight came to him as clear and bright as
that Of boy, aud he read the lessons Of
the service distinctly without spectaeles,
and his sight still continues perfect.
Speetacles are Of no further use. The
Chico Enterprise, from which this state,
ment is condensed, leaves the reader to
infer that this circumstance is another
Illustration of the efficacy of PRAYER.
The Bee knows of a similar case which
has no connection with either Bibles or
prayer. Mr.. W. T. Redding. Brigh
ton, Sacramento County, father of 3. b.
Redding, is now rs years of age. He
used spectacles twenty years and had no
idea he could read without them. One
day, about four years ago, after reading
his iayorite newspaper (the Bee, of
eoursel, he reached up to take off his
specs" as usual when to his surprise
he found they were not there, He had
been reading without them, and did not
know it. On further experiment he
found he could actually see better with
ont the glasses than with them, and he
has never used them since. 1t is prob
able that many others are using glasses
quite as uselessly, and it might be well
for elderly people to try the experiment.

In q Predicament.

To appreciate the following good
story one must know that William
Black is one of the most diilident
aud modest Of pen-drivers. With
this introduction We give the joke:
Mr. William Black is II novelist, and
very interesting books he writes,
| too. He found himself in "a very
novel situation one summers day;
but somebody else has written up
the story, and made him the hero OF
it. Last summer he was at Obau, a
watering place by the SEA. Staying
at his hotel were several people
whom he knew, and among others
"a young lady who was reading one
of his novels, aud deeply interested.
The time came when William Black
heartily wished there was no interest
in that boOk-in fact, he regretted
having written it AT all. One noon
time he wandered of some distance
by tho sea, and found quiet, cosy
nook, which invited him To batlr,
free from the usual sea shore bathing
costume. He stripped, laid his
clothing carefully under a lnitlng
rock, and went in at it. He had not
been in the water long Wien along
came that interested and interesting
,young lady, who WAS reading one OF
| William Biact's novels. She had
the book with ner, and sat down To
read on "a ledge Of that identical
rock under which William Black :
clothes were. She opened the book
and brcarne absorbed. She did not
see the clothes; she did not See
