capital, warrants distrust of the well-estab-
hshed and well-conducted companies, which
have invited the most merclless investigation,
and have stood unshaken in those years of
unprecedented disaster. The life insurance
business proper is not weaker, but a great
deal stronger, because sound companies are
no longer exposed to the desperate COMPETE
ton of nearly thirty companies which began
business in the period of wild initiation. They
are not the weaker, but the stronger for all
the searching Investigations which have ex-
posed so much rottenness, because
those which have been so managed that such
Investigations and prevailing distrusts have
not left the smell Of fire upon their garments
are really entitled to more of public confidence
than ever before.

For some medicinal alcoholic resuscitant OF physt
cal energy which should take the place Of the heady
and frequently adulterated stimulants of commerce
the medical practitioners of quarter of century
ago were electrified on first observing the reviVine
effects upon the system of tonic then recently In
troduced, but which has since become the most pop
ular medicine sold this continent viz: Hostetter
Stomach BitterS Their aStonishment and admlra
ton were increased when experience farther dis
closed that this botanic remedy effected results winch
the mineral drugs of the pharmacopoia often Ut
terly failed to prOduce-among others, the perma
nent restoration OF vgor, the removal OF digestive
secretiye and evacuative Irregularities and the eTad
cation and prevention of periodic feyers. SPEEDY
recognition of the merits OF the Btters by unprelr
diced and enlightened physicians naturally Ielloweo
this revelation of medical facts which have since
ceiyed such frequent and positive confirmation.

THE ST. LOUIS FREIGHT EXTOR
TION

The singing injustice with which st.
Louis company has singled out Memphis for
extortion, has aroused strong feeling In this
city The indignation is the stronger be-
cause our merchants had already borne an
unequal apportionment of freight charges
without complaint, though not without per-
ceptlon of the unmerited treatment they were
receiving. For six months the merchants of
Memphis have had to pay as much for the
freight of merchandise from st. Louis as the
merchants of New Orleans, eight hundred
miles further down the river, were charged.
This has been borne without remonstrance,
but st. Louis merchants may well know
that the effect has been that many orders
have, for some time, been sent to Cincinnati
that would, but for the discrimination made
against this city, have gone to st. Louis.
The st. Louis people have attributed their
decreased trade with Memphis to the change
cotton-growers have made in raising their
own corn and other necessaries. That
change has had its effect, of course, but a
little inquiry will inform the st. Louis mer-
chant that while they have been receiving less
of our trade, Cincinnati, Notwithstanding the
increased growth of corn and other produce,
among our people, has been receiving more.
What Cincinnati has gained st. LOUIS has
lost. Such has been the effect of making
our people pay the same rate of freight as
New Orleans Emboldened by the patient
forbearance of the Memphis merchants, the
ST. Louis company has coolly inflicted upon
them an increased charge, for the reason that
they have to carry merchandise eight hun
bred miles less distance than when it is taken
to New Orleans. The scale so arranged, pro-
Forthcoming the heaviest charges to the short
est distance, appears in the ST. Louis Rep"b-
lican, of Tuesday, as follows:

Sentenced to be Hanged on His Own
Confession.

ST. LOUIS, July 10.-Henry J. Redemier,
who shot and killed Herman Vosse, while at
work on a building, corner of Bremen and
Kossuth avenues, June 18th, was arraigned
before the criminal court yesterday afternoon,
and, to the great surprise of the court and
lawyers present, plead guilty, and was sem
fenced by Judge Jones to be hanged on the
twenty third of August. Redemiers attor-
ney was not present, and it seems from an
interview with the prisoner after his return
to Jail that he did not know what he was do
ing when he plead guilty. 1t is regarded as
a strange case, and it is said that nothing
can save the man now except intervention by
the governor.

The Life Insurance Business.

NEW YORK, July 5.-The life insurance
business has passed through a season of Sc
we're trial, and many of the weaker companies
have fallen by the wayside. The tendency to

count of the Encouragement of many COM

Times. 1t is not fair to reason that the col

The Sort of Girl to Get.

The true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade herself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Gen
orally, she is not rich. But, oh! what
a heart she has when you find her! So
large and pure and womanly. When
you see it you wonder if those snowy
things outside were women. If you gain
her love your two thousand are mil
lions. She'll not ask you for carriage
or first class house. She'll wear sim
pie dresses, and turn them when neces-
sary, with no vulgar magnificat to frown
upon her economy. She'll keep every
thing neat and nice in your sky parlor,
and give you such a welcome when you
come home that you'll think your par
lor higher than ever. She'll entertain
true friends on a dollar, and astonish
you with the new thought how little
happiness depends on money. She'll
make you love home Gf you don't you re
a brute), and teach you how to pity,
/ while you scorn poor, fashionable So
ciety that thinks Itself rich, and vainly
tries to think itself happy.
/ d" Now, do not, pray you, say any
more, can't afford 60 marry" Go,
find the true woman, and you can.
Throw away that cigar, burn up that
switch cane, be sensible yourself, and
seek your wife in a sensible way.-Olire1

CONGRESSIONAL GAINS.
From Medicine to the Priesthood.

Our sister city of Newport was startled
yesterday when it was annonced that
DR.. c. N. Sorg, one of the prominent
physicians of that place, had in the
morning gone to Monte Casino Monas-
terry, just back of Covington, for the
purpose of re-entering the priesthood.
DR.. Sorg has been married for over
twenty years, and has a wife and two
beautiful grown daughters, who have
lived with him until yesterday. DIR. Sorg
was born in Germany fifty-nine years
ago. AS he approached manhood he
studied medicine, but he was induced by
his parents to give up that and study for
the priesthood. He yielded to the de-
sires of his parents, entered Catholic
College, and, after remaining in it few
years, was regularly ordained a priest.
But at length he went to Berlin, where
he pursued his medical studies. Grad
uating in medicine there, he came to
New York, and from there went to Mt
St. Vincent, Pa, where again he put on
the sacerdotal robe and became pastor
of a church. This did not last long, and
he gave up the church again and went
back to the old country, renounced the
priesthood, and married daughter of a
German army officer. Immediately af-
ter his marriage, he and his wife re-
moved to Newport, Ky, where he en-
tered upon the practice of his profess
sion. He leaves his whole property,
worth in good times $4,000, and am
pie for their support, to his family

Knew 1t, of Course.

A ADetroit grocer, who has little time
to study human nature, and who'd save
money if he only had little more time,
wrote note to several parties selected
for the occasion to the effect that he had
lost his account-books and must depend
upon their honor to call and give in the
balance against them. One of them re-
piled that he presumed he owed three
OF four dollars, when the books showed
that he owed $2S; another thought there
might be possible balance against
him, though he had been very careful
to pay cash down, and yet his account
was $14 and over. Out of twelve or
fourteen customers, the grocer found
one who replied that he owed $3.50,
being fifty cents too much. He then
wrote to each that he had found his
books, and sent statement of account,
and as they dropped into the store one
at a time, each laughed, shook hands,
and remarked:
al knew it was one of your jokes, OF
course, and so thought I'd give you a
chance to play it clear through!'-Free

He Didn't Drink.

While Mr.. Hawkins was raking up
some leaves which had blown into his

tain the wants of his visitor.
