The Laboratory of the System

The stomach is the labratory of the
system, in which certain mysterious
processes are constantly going on.
These result in the production of that
wonderful vivifying agent the blood,
which in a state of health rushes laden
with the elements OF vitality to the re-
hottest parts of the system. But when
the stomach is semi-paralyzed by dys-
pepsia, blood manufacture is carried on
imperfectly, the circulation grows thin
and sluggish, and the system suffers in
consequence. Moreover indigestion re-
acts upon the liver and bowels, rendering
the first sluggish and the latter consti-
pated. The brain also suffers by SYM
patty, and sick headaches, sleeplessness
and nervous symptoms are engendered
Hostetters' Stomach Bitters reforms this
state of things, gives permanent tone
and reg clarity to the stomach and its as
sociate organs, the bowels and liver
and ensures complete nourishment and
increased vigor of the system. IL is the
most popular rs well as the most Ell
cient anti-dyspeptic and tonic in Amer

The Tennessee Stock Sales.

The Tennessee series of stock
sales closed at Nashville last Satur-
day. The special correspondent of
the Courier Journal who attended
all of the sales writes, "Trotting
colts, with better than average Eedi-
grees, sold from $50 to $500. Jer-
sey cows and heifer calves brought
from $I1O to $265; bull calves, $50
to $65. The results of these sales
have been most gratifying to both
sellers and buyers, The stock offer
ed at each of the four sales was in
both condition and pedigree all
that the purchaser could demand,
while the prices obtained made an
average that should be highly graft
flying to the breeders-all things
considered. At Ewell's Station,
Maury county, Messrs. Campbell
Brown, Thomas Gibson and James
p. johnson made the largest offer
ing, and consequently drew the lar
gest crowd, there being fully twelve
hundl ed people present. A perma-
nent amphitheater with auctioneer's
stand is erected in one of nature
noblest groves on Major Browns
farm. A thick sward Of bluegrass
carpet spreads over the undulating
hills. Old Probabilities gave US one
of his most charming days. Near
ly all the Southern States were rep
resented by intelligent active bio
ders, who carried the flowers of tho
various flocks to congenial South
ern homes. This rich offering OF
highly bred horses, cattle and sheep
may be aptly termed the Alexan-
der's sale of the South; and like
Kentucky, Tennessee sent not only
her sons, but her fairest daughters
to represent her.
The importance and the educa-
ting effect of these joint sales can
not be over estimated, attracting
the attention, as they do, of all
those who are in need of stock or
in search of good location to begin
ventures in handling live stock. In
my opinion the climate is just right
and land cheap-$25 to $75 per
acre. The country is too healthy

rolling and well watered, and suffi-
GENTLY fertile to grow the short,
sweet grass in abundance. of which
stock are so fond and upon which
they thrive so wonderfully.

IMPORTS OF DRY GOODS AT New
NoRK.-The imports of dry goods AT
the port of New York, for December
amounted to S3,747 900, against 80 ,934
700 Tor tho corresponding month OF
1876, aud 81 ,34l 900 in 1875. The i'll
crease has been in the manufactures of
wool, cotton and flax. The value OF
goods thrown upon the market is $40. :
600 in excess of December last year.
The amount entered for consumption
was only about $50, 900 over the
amount of last December, and nearly
S40O, 900 less than that Of December.
1870: The excess of imports over last
last December appears, therefore, to
have gone into bonded warehouses.
The imports of fabrics for the year
1877 are lower than for any year since
1864. In 1871 the aggregate imports of
all kinds of dry goods were Sl32 ,5OO.-
600, which is the highest year i'm the
history of the trade. For the past wear
the imports were valued at only ST.
ooo,oOO-but little moro than half the
business OF six years ago. Compared
with 1876, the decrease is $4,000, 900,
and with 1875, S22, 100000. This fall
ing of is confined almost exclusively to
cotton and wooden goods. and Is of
course duc-to the increased supply of
fabrics contributed by our home man
ufacturers. The policy which has
brought about state of supply which
prevents an annual drain of sc, 900 900
or more year of gold from the coun-
try should commend itself to the peo-
ple.

There was one man on the Woodward

"No, sir" was the decided response !:

But YOU can't like such morning

"It's just as good for me as any sort

"And you like to see the rain, and

but he secured revenge sooner than he
expected to. In getting off the car the

length in the mud, 10 the intense de-

Sitting Bull, the great Sioux chief
has spoken at last. This man has beer
the terror of our Western Plains for
years. He has never been willing to
make treaty with our government, but
has bid proud defiance to all the soldiers
we could send against him. During all
last! summer three separate armies were
| trying TO overcome him. 1t was his
band which slaughtered the brave
Custer and his Seventh cavalry. Sit
ting Bull had many encounters with
our army, but could never be captured.
At last he retreated into Canada, where
our Government sent q commission
to treat with him. He treated this COM
mission with disdain, and declined to
again return to our territory. The
"Herald' sent correspondent with
this commission, and through the in
fiuence of Major Walsh, at the head
of the Canadian mounted police, this
correspondent had an interview with
Sitting Bull, and the whole truth about
General Clusters last battle has at last
come out. 1t proves all and more than
all that Captain Whitaker has written
about the battle in his "Life of General
Custer
Sitting Bull says Clusters command
fought desperately; that there were 10
towards there; that bullets flew like
humming birds; that General Custer
was great warrior, and that at one
time they thought he would whip them;
that Colonel Reno was held in check
for hours by n few squaws. They
supposed Reno's command was but a
few stray soldiers posted on the hill for
observation.
Colonel Iseno's orders were to attack
one end of the village while Custer took
the other end.
What an awful charge is this! that
one of the most brilliant and able of
American officers, with over three hun
dred men, was slaughtered by the cow
ardice of an officer in command of
American soldiers! This matter should
be probed to the bottom. The noble
Custer cannot be restored to life; but
his name can be vindicatcd, and Con-
gress cannot too soon order a most
thorough investigation.
