The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the stepping stone to health. When the system lacks vitality, the various or gans flag in their duty, become event ually instituted. To prevent this un- happy state of things, the debilitated system should be built up by the use of that inimitable tonic, Hostetter's Stom- aeh Bitters which invigorates tine di- gestiyc organs, and insures the thor ough conversion of food into blood of nourishing quality, from whence every muscle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies of vigor, and the whole system experiences beneficial effect. Appetite returas, the system is refreshed by healthful slumber, the nerves grow strong and calm, the de- spondency begotten of chronic indigcs- tion and an uncertain state of health disappears, and that saliow appearance of tho skin peculiar to habittMl lnvalids, and persons deficient in vital energy, is replaced by more becoming tinGe,

Ir was not Joshua the son of Nun, nor was it Joshua one ofsthc leaders of the twelve tribes of lsraet, but it was Joshua the brilliant lawyer who dwells upon the banks of the grand old Ark. unseen in the classic village of Darda- nelle, nestled among the green oaks and meath the shadow of the legendery Dardanelle Rock, who upon the street of that village said, about the last time the people elected their rulers: "That certain Judge in Israel might retire to the loftiest peaks of the Ozarks and seat himself, like Moses upon Pisgah 's nights, upon the coldest rock he could find and sit there until he became n petritled statue of expectation, before he, Joshua, would again solicit him to become candidate for office" And the multitude who stood around when they heard the words of Joshua, cried out with one accord, and said, Amen!

Our Army.

The Indian war is about at an end Tn the northwest for the season, and our armful of tired soldiers can now take . rest unless 1t is found neces- sary to be sent OF the Rio Grande for the winter to raid into Mexico with that wild, dare devil Mckenzie. Our army is so small that in time of comparative peace the soldiers are almost worked to death.
 1.-the Federal government had had a standing army of 35,000 men at the breaking out of the war of seces- sion, the war would not have lasted three months. The late war cost our country more treasure than it would cost to keep standing army of 50,000 men hundred years, be- sides the terrible loss of life.
 Hundreds of hyes of our pioneer western settlers are lost every year simply because our army is so weak that it is impossible to keep the In dians in subjection. An army of 50,000 men, properly distributed, would prevent the Indians going on the war path, besides saving the lives of our soldiers and citizens.
 If war was to break out between this country and Mexico, the loss of time and money, besides the advan- tage galned by the enemy before we could raise an army, would amount to more than it would cost to keep a standing army of 50,0O0 men for ten years.
 Gen. Joe. Johnston and all the leading military statesmen of this country oppose the reduction of the

army, and in fact the majority advo- cate an increase. IL is only the demagoglcal politicians who prate about retrenchmcnt, who are de . mandlng a reduction of the army. There is no country on the face of the earth so much in need of a stand ing army as the United States of America. Our Indian troubles de mand that we keep an army compe ! tent to keep the Indians in perpetual subjection, instead of having to fight them every summer. We do not need an army to suppress labor troubles; give us proper Legislation and the laboring classes will not trouble Hot Springs Sentinel.

 There was, we understand, repre- sentative of the Sunday Illustrated Herald (Hot Springs) in town last week. We don't know whether he thought we all had the yellow fever at the DEMOCRAT office, whether he had done something mean and supposed we knew all about, or whether he was a new hand and didn't know anything of newspaper courtesyi but one thing he was careful to do, and that was to keep at long range from our office.
 SUDDEN DEATH.--Our whole town Twas startled and shocked last Sunday morning at the sudden and unexpected demise of one of our prominent citizens, Col. W. A. Wellington. On Saturday he was on the streets as usual, and ap- peared as one of the counsel in case of habeGs corpus before Judge Wilson. Although he had been slightly indis- posed the whole day he sat up after supper and read his papers, and retired as usual withoct any apprehension that he was seriously unwell. About 12 o'clock at night he was seized with a slight conyulsion and medical aid was at once summoned, but ill less time almost than it takes to tell it, the vital spark had gone out The cause of his sudden death was pronounced heart disease.

Our Boys.
Troy Budget.

Did you ever notice how long Ii
takes a boys hair to dry when he
has run away and gone in swim
ming? 1t is painful to be a boy,
with a mother constantly in fear
that you will be brought home from
the river on a board. The boy is
commanded not to go TO the river,
and 5wears he won't, but he lies
like little trooper. He thinks that
he willnOt get his hair went and no
one will know it, and when he get
ready to come out of the water, a
big boy ducks him, then he swears,
and when he crawls in the back
window at 10 o'clock at night his
mother, with pressbOard hid in
the folds of her dress, it is the first
obstacle he encounters. Does she
believe him when he tells her he has
been practicing with the "first nine"
of Sunday-school class? No!
She feels of his hair, finds ii wet,
smell of it and finds il musty, and
finds his shirt wrong side out. Then
she spit upon her hands, and with
the press board so worked upon his
tender sensibilities that he goes to
bed with his hand upon his aching
heart, wishing he was Il half or
phan, and he dreams he is a stern
wheel boat running backward and
has collided with q barge loaded
with benzlne on fire. The way for
a boy to get along is to have his'hair
shingled.

ImmlErontsstll Coming in.
Nashville American

Gov. Sherwood, of Minnesota, has
returned to Tennessee TO remain
permanently, with a view to o.huild-
ing up colony ON large tract OF
land at Sherwood, Franklin county,
which was purchased some time
ago.
Commissioner KillebTew received
a second letter from Otis Brown, of
Portland, Maine, in which he says
that there will bea large emigration
from that State TO Tennessee within
the next year, and that a party had
left there to visit and inspect tract
of land near the University of the
South, Sewanee. If satisfactory
they will settle there and prove a
valuable addition to the population
of Tennessee.
Most persons have very little idea
of the number Of immigrants that
are constantly coming in here from
the North. Twenty Northern fam
lilies have recently settled in the
Eighteenth District of this county,
80 or 40 families in Williamson and
a large number in Lawrence, Frank
lin, Coffee and other counties. But
for the yellow fever many more
would have settled in Tennessee
this fall.
