MiserabIeneRs.

The most wonderful and marvellous success, in
cases where persons are sick or pining away from
what ails them profitable patients for doctors),
is obtained by the use of Hop Bitters. They be-
gin to cure from the first dose, and keep it up
until perfect health and strength is restored
Whoever is afflicted in this way need not suffer,
when they can get Hop Bitters. See Truths"
and Proverbs" in another column.

LONDON, Dot. 14.-A Constanti-

the Sultan wished to add to the
note to Austria an intimation that
any further advance of Austrian
troops would be considered con-
traventiOn of International law
and an infringement of theSultan's
sovereign rights. He was only
persuaded to omit this by Safvst
Pasha offering to resign. The chief
difficulty to the conclusion of the
treaty supplementary to that of
San StefanO is that the Russians
insist upon the insertion of article
26 of the treaty of San Stefano. At
least two great powers support the
Porte's objection to this article, as
it would interfere with certain
stipulations of the treaty of Berlin
concerning Eastern Roumelia.

From Acute to Chronic

Is an easy stage In cases of dyspepsia. A
slight attack of indigestion, especially
when there is predlsposItion to diges-
tive weakness CT the stomach, must
speedily eliminate in the more obstinate
form OF he disease. 1t is we'll, therefore,
to adopt preventive measures early.
Although Hostetter's Sto mach Bitters
overcomes, II persisted in, cases of dys-
pepsia of long Standing, 1t is obviously
the part of wisdom TO use 1t ere the NAL
ady assn mes a chronic phase. This is
particularly true, because, as dyspepsia
advances, 1t engenders other bodily
evils, such as disorders of the liver, con-
stipation or undue looseness Of the bow
els, nervous disorders, hypochondria,
sleeplessness. These maladies are both
prevented ard remedied by the Bitters;
but how much better to check them in
their outset with the great alternative,
than to wait until they establish firmer
othOld In the system. Surely, the ad-
visibility OF this must be apparent.

Take Care of Your Eyes.

Persons having tendency to
weakness of sight, or those expert
encing unusual fatigue of the eyes
in reading, or similar occupation
requiring close vision, should re-
sort to the aid of glasses imm edi-
ately. Nothing is gained by wait
ing and much may be lost. But it
is important to have the right
kind of glasses. Do not buy them
of venders who have no knowledge
of optical science, but go to Hirsch-
field, the practical optician, who
will give you a pair of glasses that
will suit you, whether your case be
weak sight, old sight, near sight or
astigmatism.

cerning the reputed capture of the
Bank of England robber. William
Pinkerton, of Pinkerton's Detective
Agency of this city, emphatically
pronounces the story to be without
foundation and got up to serve
some other end by the California
man. In the first place, he said,
there never was burglary COM
mitted on the Bank of England,
and the idea of Col. Henderson's
making any arrest is simply alb.
surd. Henderson is chief of Scot
land yard force in London. Ho
never leaves his chair, but simply
sits there and directs his men what
to do. AS for Pinkerton's force

For the first time In the history
OF the California Judiciary the
Southern California members Of
the bar of the Supreme Court have
been able to argue their cases in q
forum of their own. This is not
only a boon to the bar but valua-
BILE and thoroughly appreciated
concession to suitors. 1t will no
longer be compulsory upon either
lawyer or client to make q journey
of from five to six hundred miles
to obtain judgment in the court of
last resort. Many a suitor who felt
that he had good cause has for
borne pushing it to the Supreme
Court on account Of the onerous
expense involved. The just and
timely act of the Califo! mia Legis-
lature should be supplemented by
an act of Congress giving Southern
California a District Court of the
United States. Considering the
i'm mnanse amount of litigation in
the United States Courts in this
State, q proper presentation of cur
claims would undoubtedly result in
q favorable action. It cannot be
many years before this court will
be restored to Los Angeles. For
years the United States District
Court was held in this city, and
that at time when we had hard
ly a tithe OF our present popula-
tion.
