A Disease Mt Wrecks The System.

A Disease hit Wrecks the System.
Every function is deraug d, every nerve
uustrung, every muscle and fiber weaken
ed ny fever and ague. It is in fact, . d.
sease which if unchecked, eventually
wrecks the system. In all its types, in
every phase, it is dangerous, destructive.
stupor, delitinm, convulsions, often ~
tend it, and cause swift dissolution. But
when comb .ttsd with Hostetter's Stomach
Bi.ters it's foothold in the system is dis
logged. and every vessige Of it eradicated.
That benign and anti-febrile specific and
preventive of the dreaded scourge is re-
coguized: not only within our own boun-
daries, but id tropic lands far besond
them, where intermittents aud remlttents
are fear'ally prevalent, to be a sure anti
dote to the malarial poison and q reliable
means of overcoming disorders Of the
stomach, liver and bowels, Of which a
vitiated torrid atmosphere and brackish
missuatainted water are extremely pro-
vocatise. All emigrants and travellers
should be supplied with it.

~ Judging from appearances

~ Judging from appearances
it would seem that the Socialists
and Ninilists in Europe, stand 10
great need offs few "crack shots
for whenever some ambitious
me mber of the order desires to
win fame for himself and freedom
for his country by exterminating
his sovereign, he invariably
misses biz mark and speedily be-
CONES food for the worms and q
martyr to liberty. A little more
practice at rifle and pistol shoot
ing and less bIa tant harrapgues
vii prove beneficial 70 these

The way to reach d mans heart
is to cater to his appetite. A girl
who can claw g piano and agitate
the atmosphere is a parlor orna-
ment, but one that can grease a
griddle and turn two pancakes at
a time is the kind of female to
tie to this time Of the year.-Er.
Yes, all this is very true : and
at the same time We may as well
remark that . nice young nan
who parts his hair in the middle
sports a standing collar and
walking cane, wears his panta-
looms with the latest cut and who
can out.ta.k an auctloneer, is "just
the fellow" for the gals to lavish
their affections upon and listen
to ''spoopey" love talk from ; but
in years Of after life they will be
certain to discover that the chap
who didn't do so much "cbim
music. and who can get up first
in the morning, make the fires,
chop off some wood and draw the
water is the individual to whom
they should have linked their
fortunes.

NsJ' History furnishes Us with

N:5' History furnishes US with
many examples Of persons and
places which seem to be forever
resting beneath the shadow Of
neglect. Perhaps one Of The most
striking evidence Of this fact is
offered 10y the Parish of Vermil-
ion. From the era other creation
up to the present time her name
has been but the synonyme Of.
insigni6cance and her citizens
have ever been regarded as mere
cyphers, whose sole function it is
to add strength and Importance
TO their superiors. She is always
expected to'bear her share Of the
burdens Of life and enjoy none
Of its sweets, she must present a
bold front to the enemy, and
secure the victory but must not be
so designing as to request a mod
crate portion Of the spoils. To
the hewers Of wood and drawers
water such perquisites do not
.|appertam. At the election for
delegates to the State 'Constita-
hiopal Convention, Vermilion
Parish selected as her choice Capt.
II. R. King, a lawyer Of talent and
|ability-a man who was in every;
iwise a fitting exponent Of her pop
ulatioD. He has taken his seat
las a member Of that august
tbody, and we regret TO observe
THAT history has again repeated
Itself. The various Committees to
whom the work Of forming a
CONSTITUTION will be assigned
have been appointed and Capt
King has only received a place
on two of the most Insignificant
while men who his interiors, in
ability and energy, appear al
Northumberland figure on a half a
dozen Committees. For all this
there is certainly a cause. What
is it Does it proceed from the
fact that Capt. King halls from
poor little Vermilion' or it is be
cause he didn vote right in th'
caucus.
