l
ness that of "heathen Chinee," IL belong
ing to one of our race, can scarcely be de-
scribed as attractive. But worse than this, it
is the index of disordered liver, of liver
that needs arousing and regulating. The
remedy is at hand, prompt, efficacious. A
course OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters win ex-
pei the misdirected bile from the blood and
divert it into the proper channel, open the
bowels, remove the dyspeptic symptoms which
invariably accompany biliousness and coun-
teract the rapidly developing tendency to
dangerous congestion of the liver, which must
always exist when the skin and whites of the
eyes assume this yellow hue. The pains
through the right lower ribs, side and Shout
der blade, the nausea, furred state of the
tongue, and unpleasant breath which indicate
liver complaint, in short all its disagreeable
concomitants are soon remedied by this SOW
ereign corrective, which in addition to its
regulating properties is superb invigorant,
and pure and agreeable medicinal stimulant,
appetizer and ner1fne.

There we're ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter Of the tcld,
But one was out on the hills away,
Far OF from the gates Of gold,
Away On the mountains Wild and bare,
Away from the shepherds care.
''Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and nine;
Are they not enough for thee :"
But the shepherd made an answer, 'This Of

Has wandered away from nc;
And altho' the road DO rough and steep,

But noIc Of the ransoucd ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed;
Nor how dark was The night that the Lord
passed through
Ere he found his sheep that was lost.
Out i'll tue desert he heard its cry
Sick and helpless anu ready to die.

THE EDITORS.

The editors of Indiana had a
grand reunion at Lafayette; the
other day, and I was constrained
to stop and join them, for verify
were they not going to open a
kcg Of nails and cut a melon ?
Happy, innocent, gui!eless men,
these cdilors! How little they
know of the world and it's sordid
cares; low little they know of
its wrangiing strlfes and its noisy
wars; how little they see Of It's
irredeemabie and fuctuating cur
rencies; how sublimely, magrif-
Gently seldom do they light upon
the combination Of it's safe lock.
All, men Of a busy, heartless,
ey-getting world, editors have
no money. We have something
better. We have calm, unmoved
and unmovable, sleeping con-
sciences, that you couldn't quicken
with stroke Of lightning. What
o priceless treasure is such con-
science Journalism is the profess
sion without jealousy. I don't be-
levc there is q profession in the
world SO free from jealousy as this.
Look 1T musical people. They are
the worst lin the lot. Music hath
charms 10 Soothc q savage. but 1t
has no power to tame the feroclty
Of people who play; and sing, and
teach it. An opera company:
without a black eye, is an tn
hcard-of wonder. All through the
opera season the frightened air is
full Of the loud wrangliugs Of
warning tenor and soprano, con-
traIto and basso. Every mail brings
to our cars the crash Of another
foctstool Christine Nilsson has
kicked over. And = church choir
why, l never knew but one
choir that didn't have q chronic
row OH its hands dating back As
far as the tariff bill, and more
complicated than the Louisiana in,
restigation. And that one broke
up the first Sunday. One OF the
tirst indications Of a revival In lhe
church is when the soprano and
alto get on speaking terms with
each other. And at q musical
festival; did you ever notice how
the chorus stood back and glarcd
ut the solo? 1t is awful. But
with Us there is none Of that feel,
ing. We love each other. And
when, in the course Of our politl-
cal duties as standard bearers, we
feel constrained to call an es-
teemed contemporary ::'measure-
