The EitZ-Lohn Porter Case.

The official report of the board of inquIry In the Eitz-John Porter case has been approved by the President and the Secretary of War and the general will now be restored to his old rank and position in the army. The report of the board, which consisted of Generals Schofield, Terry and Getty, gives naFrative ofthe events which gave rise to the charges against General Porter, emitting unessential details and limit ing themselves to plain statement of essential facts established by positive proof Concerning the charge of which General Porter was found gullty-not having moved his command on the night of August 27, 1862, in obedience to an order from General Pope - the board reports that il was a manifest physcial impossibility to march over that road that night; that nothing would have been gained by the at tempt, and that it would have been wiseri f General Porter had delayed the attempt still longer than he did; that he exercised the very ordinary discretion of corps commander, and that it was his plain duty to exercise it. The report closes as follows: C General Porter was, in effect condemned for not having taken any part in his own battle Such wus the error upon which General Porter was pronounced guilty the most shameful crime known among soldiers. We believe not one among all the gallant soldiers on that bloody field was less deserving of such condemnation than he The evidence of bad animus in Porter's case ceases to be material in view of the evidence of his soldierly and faithful conduct. But it is our duty to say that the indiscreet and unknd terms in which General Porter expressed his distrust of the capacity of his superior com mander General Pope) cannot be defended; and to that indiscretion was due in very great measure the misrepresentation of both his mo- tiyes and his conduct and his consequent con- aemnation. Having thus given the reasons for our conclusions, we have the honor to report, in accordance with the Presidents order, that in our opinion justices requires at his hands such action as may be necessary to annul and set aside the findings and sentence of the court martial in the case of Major General Fitz- John Porter and to restore him to the position of which that sentence deprived him, such re- storation to take effect from the date of his dis mssal from the service"

The Heart.broken Merchant.

The shrewdness and business capacity that have made the Yankee the first of tradersy,and promise to turn this country into the workshop of the world, received striking and happy illustration the other day. The scene was hereabUuts; the characters rising young merchant and pretty woman. He had an affec- tion for her, she a liking for him, so they became betrothed After time she found out that she didn't love him well enough to marry him, and the match was broken off. It was severe blow, and he staggered under it; but he fought well for himself, protested that his life was ruined, asked if she could not learn to love him, and in all ways did the proper thing. She was immovable, however, and he sadly and reluctantly took his leave. While his eyes were full of gathering tears he bade his faltering farewells, then closed the door upon his hopes. A moment later he opened it, stepped back into the room, and, with tears in his voice, brokenly murmured, II hope this will make no difference about your coming to the store, Miss -; and that your mother will con- tinue to trade with us. l shall be happy to give the usual discount. Our stock is large and varied, our aim to please" :" And the door shut finally, leaving him alone with his grief-Portldsd Press.

Russian Robbers.

Russian baggage-cars do not carry baggagemen. The car is sealed when it leaves, and the seal broken when any thing has to be taken out or put in. At least, that is the explanation of some very ingenious stealing which went on fiourishing month after month on the Kursk, Charkov and Azov railroad, un- til last December, when it was detected. There were several accomplices, who used great trunk or chest. One of them was put in this and shipped in the baggage-car As soon as the car was sealed he crept out, broke open the lest looking trunks of the other passengers, selected the most valuable articles and put them in his own chest until there was only room enough left for himself, when he shut himself in. At the next station his accomplices received the chest, and unpacked the thief and his booty.

Effects of too much Sleep.

The effects of too much sleep are not privation. The whole nervous system becomes blunted, so that the muscular energy is enfeebled, and the sensations and moral and intellectual manifesto tions are obtunded. All the bad effects of inaction become developed; the func- tions are exerted with less energy; the digestion is torpid, the generations ar. diminished, whilst, in some instances, the secretion of fat accumulates to an inordinate extent. The memory is im- paired, the powers of imagination are dormant, and the mind falls into kind ofhebetude, chiefly because the functions of the intellect are not sufficiently exert ed when sleep is too prolonged or too often repeated. To sleep much is not necessarily to be good sleeper. Gen erally they are the poorest sleepers who remain longest in bed; :. c., they awaken less refreshed than if the time of arising were earlier by an hour or two. While it is true that children and young people require more sleep than their elders yet it should be the care of parents that over-indulgence be not permitted. Where the habit is for children to lie in bed until eight or nine o'clock in the morning, the last two hours, at least do not bring sound, dreamless sleep, where the hour for retiringis eight or nine P. M., but are spent in "dozing," and, in fact. such excess cannot fail to insure the harmful results described by the author ity quoted. What is called " laziness :" among children is, in many cases, dis ease, and is largely due to this, as well as the other causes mentioned, that un- dermine the foundations of health.- Golden Rule.

An Enraged Woman.

Household Departments are very good adjuncts to a newspaper in their way, when edited by woman, but the male journalist who dabbles with the heaven-inspired mysteries of cooking runs a fiightful risk. The editor of the Weekly, Petalunaa PeaUire started a column of that kind recently, and few days afterwards fierce-looking female came into the office, carefully concealing some object behind her apron.
 Are you the man that published that new and improved way to make currant cakep"

The woman who doubts entered a De- troit fish store the other day with hesi- tating step, and after looking around upon various piles of the finny tribe she turned to the proprietor and asked:
 Do you keep fish here?"

Everything Goes Wrong

In the bodily mechanism when the liver gets out of order. Constipation, dyspepsia, contami- nation of the blood, imperfect assimilation, are certain to ensuc. But it is easy to prevent these consequences, and remove their cause, by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which stimulates the biliary organ and regulates its action. The direct result is disappearance of the pains beneath the ribs and through the shoulder blade, the nausea, headaches, yellow ness of the skin, furred look of the tongue, and sour odor of the breath, which characterize liver complaint. Sound digestion and a regular habit of body are blessings also secured by the of this celebrated restorative of health which imparts a degree of vigor to the body which is its best guarantee of safety from ma larial epidemics. Nerve weakness and over tension are relieved by it, and it improves both appetite and sleep.

Why Lace Is SO Costly.

The finest specimen of Brussels lace is so complicated as to require the labor of seven persons on one piece, and each operative is employed at distinct features of the work. The thread used is of ex- quisite fineness, which is spun in dark underground rooms, where it is suffici- entIy moist to keep the thread from sep arating. It is so delicate as scarcely to be seen, and the room is so arranged that tho light admitted shall fall upon the

The Physical Paradox.


 It has been said that '' the blood is the source of life." It is truly the source of disease and death No life, that is to say, no healthy tis- sue can be generated from impure blood, no organ of the body normally perform its functions when supplied with impure blood. The fluid that should carry life and health to every part carries only weakness and disease. Blood is the source of life only when it is pure. If it has become diseased, it must be cleansed by proper medication, else every pulsation of the human heart sends a wave of disease through the system. To cleanse the blood ot all impurities, use Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, the most effectual alterative, tonic and cathartic remedies yet discovered. They are especially efficient in scrofulous diseases.
 When neglectful of the duty assigned to it by nature, that of secreting the bile, the liver should be disciplined with Dr. Motts Vegeta- ble Liver Pills, which will speedily remedy its inaction and stimulate 1t to vigorous perform ance of it's secretive function. Constipation, which is an invariable accompaniment of liver disorder, is always overcome by this great anti bilious cathartic, and indigestion, chronic and acute, is completely cured by it. All druggists sell it.
