stimulate the Sluggish Kidneys.

In addition to its tonic and cathartic
properties. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
exercises g beneficial influence upon the
kidneys and bladder, when they are inac-
tive, by stimulating them to renewed ex
ertion, thus reopening, as it were, a sluice
for the escape Of impurities whose regular
channel of exit is the organs OF urination.
Among these are certain abnormal aad in
fammatory elements, productive OF ire
parable injury to the system if not entirely
expelled. The kidneys and bladder them
selves are also benefited by this stimulus
as their inactivity is usually a prelimi
nary to their disease and disorganization
They also experience, in common with
other portions of the system, the potent in
yigorative effects of the Bitters, which
furthermore oorrects disordered conditions
Of the stomach, bowels and liver.

A pen, in the course Of manufacture,
goes through twenty five different process
es, takes four weeks to complete, and yet
is offered to the general public by the
gross box at considerably less than cent

on SO large a scale that they can be pro.
duced at prices to meet the demands OF
competition, and it is only by producing
articles of unexceptionable quality that
such quantities can be disposed of. The

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, May r. Consideration

Senator Window addressed the senate

said the wiser men of the party were
overruled by their vicious and reckless

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Mr. Cox called
attention to the petition presented by Mr..
McCord. Saturday, and printed in the
Record, stating that longer continuance
of the session is fraught with danger to
the peace, aud with disaster to the inan-
cial, commercial and other interests of the
country, and that the measures inaugu-
rated by congress threaten revolution and
to strike down all safeguards to free an
untimidated ballot, and that this unproft-
able session should be speedily termin-
ated." Mr. Cox characterized the petition
as an insult to congress, and said he had
objected to the petition at the time, there
fore it should not be printed.
a long discussion ensued. Mr.. Cox in
sisting the petition should be stricken out
of the Record, aud Mr.. Conger taking the
ground that that would be improper, and
that the only proper remedy was an ex'
purgiug of the petition By an action Of the
house, aud in order to have that action he
insisted that the petition should be read sc
he could know what he was voting on.
The speaker, after quoting preccdeUts
in support of his position, stated ''thG
house had control over the Record a'
much as it had over the Journal, and ht
would therefore submit the question to tht
house." He intimated that if he had hi'
own will about it, he would let the petition
stay in the Record for what it was worth
If objection to the petition had been DoteC
by the reporter and inserted 10 the report
the petition conld not have been printed il
the face Of that objectioni therefore, tn
correction of the Record, BY inserting th
objection, would necessarily exclude tn
petitions.
The discussion was pr0tracted, and tn
ally the question was submitted as {
whether the Record should be corrected b
Insertion of the objection and correctio
was then ordered. Bills were then IL
troduced and referred.

She was the guest of the city. The market women came in delegation to bring her a, crown of flowers, and tue orators laid their speeches before her that she might indi- cate any criticisms which she would like to make. She was given the place of honor on the official platform which, loaded with velvet aud gold, was raised in front of the statues dedicated to her husbands memory. A a,. ,-
