From Acute to Chronic

Is an easy stage in cases Of dyspepsia. A
slight attack Of indigestion, especially when
there is predisposition to digestive weak
ness Of the stomach, must speedily eliminate
in the more obstinate form of the disease It
is we'll, therefore, to adopt preventive meas
ures early. Although Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters oVercomes, if persisted in, in cases of
dyspepsia of long standing, it is obviously the
part Of wisdom to use it ere the malady as.
sumes chronic phase. This is particularly
true, because as dyspepsia advances, it en-
genders other bodily evils, such as disorder OF
the liver, constipation or undue loosenness OF
the bowels, nervous disorders, hypochondria,
sleeplessness. These maladies are both pre-
vented and remedied by the Bitters, but how
much better to check them in their outset
with the great Alternative, than tn wait until
they established frmer foothold in the sys-
rem. Surely the advisability of this must be
Apparent.

The Women Clerks at washington.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes as follows
in regard to the women clerks at the de-
partments: Copying and figuring is the
work mostly done by the women. In the
Department of the Interior five hundred
girls and women are employed. Their
wages range from $50 month to 81, 400
year. Few get the latter price. One
young lady, Miss Cook, stenographer
in the Indian Office, gets 81, 600 a year,
the highest price paid to woman official
in Washington.
But, lest all the bright young lady
shorthand writer's whe read this should
at once start off, in body, to get 81, $40
year, it may be as we'll to state that
there are only places for about six steno-
graphers in the Whole Interior Depart
ment. These six places are filled, and
the occupants are healthy. They do not
intend to marry. They are afraid every
man wouldn't be worth 81 600 year to
them.
Women clerks are more troublesome to
manage than men. This is the verdict
in most of the departments. They are
more regular and faithful in their duties
than men; at the same time they are
more quarrelsome among one another
A standing cause Of war among them,
ridiculous enough, is the opening and
shutting of windows. This one wants
ventilation, while the next one to her is
dead sure to be afraid of draught.
This one slaps the window up, and that

so the game goes on, slap, slam, while
the ladies' eyes dart fire, and their little
threats choke up too full for speech This
catfish QUAR- cling went so far in the Post
Office department. that at last the United
States authorities had to interfere, and
make the rule that windows should not
be raised till certain time of day, so
that the windows of the United States
General Post Office are now opened and
shut according to government orders.
/ Many unjust stories have been circu-
lated in the newspapers about the wom-
en- clerks at Washington, BY correspond

great majority of them are modest, faith

number of women anywhere else in the
world. Most of them have families or
relatives to support. The stories that
have been told about them are not only
lies, but under the circumstances, they
are extremely cruel. At the same time,
the conduct of few incompetent women,
who get their places through political ia
voritism, really has been snch as to give
color to the newspaper stories. They do
their work indiferently, or not at all,
come together and gossip by the hour in
the dressing rooms, squabble and raise
petty rows In the departments until it is
even wished that they were dead. such
women are kept in their places because
they have masculine relations at home

o city, sorrowful, yet full of grace!
The sinking sun adorns
With celestial smile thy altered face
Beneath its crown of thorns.
The heavy storms of rage and trouble beat
Around thy sacred heart;
Thou hast deadly wound, yet strangely sweet
And beautiful thou art.
And thou hast drawn, from all the colder lands
Beyond the western sea,
Hearts burning for their wrongs, and eager
hands
To fight for God and thee
Lift up thy head: thou sittest faint and fair
This sunset on thy brow
And see, with what an ecstasy Of prayer
true knight greets thee now.
Smile on his passionate love, his radiant face,
His cOnsecrated swold;
In one bright moment let thy matchless grace
Give him quick reward.
For as the heart beats wildly at its goal,
With every prayer fulfilled
Suddenly shivered is the golden bowl,
The bounding pulse is stilled!
And, dead, he falls at thy beloved feet,
Pierced by the fatal dart,
Ofjoy too high, Triumphant love too sweet
For the imprisoned heart
Dead at the goal! serene and satisfied,
With never sigh nor moan,
But with exulting face Of one who died
OfjoY and love alone.
And zoe have seen, On many loved ones face,
This rapture at the goal;
This JOY IN death, this last and sweetest grace
OF the departing soul.
These too, had travelled by weary road.
And when the end drew nigh,
Thew saw the glorious city, Gods abode.
Smile in the eastern sky;
And at this vision, heavenly and fair,
And pure without alloy
This infinite answer to life long prayer
They die at last of joy.

A Red River Rough.

Shreveport Times The Carksville,
(TeX.,) Banner Of the LIST, gives the fol-
lowing account of the killing of Tom
PAYNE, wellknown in that section Of
Texas, as a very desperate and reckless
character, The deceased was also well
known to several Of our citizens, and
upper Red river steamboatmen On the
first trip of tho steamer Joe Bryarly to
that section of country, Payne, who was
on bad terms with Captain Joe Bryarly,
after whom the steamer is named, sum-
moned several of his colleagues, all
armed with shot guns, took position on
the river bank and when the steamer
came in sight he forced her to land,
when the party boarded her, and Payne
peremptorily ordered Captain Mat Scor
veil to oblterate the name from the
pilot house by smearing it over with tar,
swearing that nothing by the name Of
Bryarly could navigate up that way,
Captain Scovell treated the party very
courteously, assuring Payne that he had
no tar but would bring some along next
time, and by this means was spared the
disagreeable duty of commanding an
anonymous packet, After the party
left the boat Payne walked up on the
river bank and without provocation shot
three Indians, killing one of them.
