An A.tonL.hlng Fact.

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the masses
OF intelligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making life actually burden
instead OF a pleasant existence OF enjoy
ment aud usefulness as 1t ought TO be.
There is no good reason for this, If you
will only throw aside prejudice and skep..
ticism, take the advice OF Druggists and
and your friends, and try one bottle OF
Green's August Flower. Your speedy
relief is certain. Millions of bottles OF
this medicine have been given away to
try its virtues, with satisfactory results
Ia every case. You can buy sample
bottle for 10 cents TO try. Three doses
will relieve the worst case. Positively
sold by all Druggists on the Western
Continent.

Fine illustrations.

The G,uphic's admirable illustrations of
the Afghan Embassy to Tashkend, in yes
terday's issue, show to what perfection the
work of ILLUSTRATED. journals can be brought.
The tone, boldness and finish of the por-
traits in especial are remarkable. The
illustrations comprise the final audience
of the Afghan ambassadors with General
Kaufman, the travelling carriage of the
HERALD correspondent, and faithful like
nesses of the chief Of the mission, the sec
ond ambassador, General Kaufman, the
Governor General of Turkestan, General
Rasgonoff, the Russian Ambassador at
Cabul, and Ivan de WDstyne, the HERlLD
correspondent, to whom the world is in
debted Tor the first intelligence OF the late
Amecr's sickness and death and other in
teresting information from Turkestan.

1t becomes the duty of the HERALD, as
the presiding officer of the congress of jour-
nalism, to decide that the large majority of
its Southern contemporaries are at the pres
ent time "out of order" 1t is, Of course,
quite natural that they should be elated at
the restoration OF their friends to power in
both ends Of the Capitol, but the style in
which they refer to that event is neither
statesmanlike, judicious nor becoming.
Head lines such as the Capitol Captured"
.'In at Last" and "Our Victory" may suit
the other side Of Mason and Dixon's line,
but they seem to betray a spirit which finds
no favor among the men OF any party in
this section of the country. The political
literature in a large number of the Southern
papers just now irresistibly recalls the war
era, which no portion of the country has
more interest in forgetting than the South
1t is to be hoped our "redhot" contempora-
ries do not represent the sensible, conserv-
alive classes in the South. Ia the most
friendly spirit we warn our contemporaries
that they are entirely out of order.

SlmOn,s Woes.

"Thcy hate us youth, said the noble Sir
John Fulstaff on memorable occasion and
that observation touches the marrow Of the
difficulties in which that rollicking blade,
Simon Cameron, finds himself in these
gloomy days. 1t is q conspiracy, down
right plot ON the part of tho people who are
without any animal spirits of their own,
and hate to see the play of other peoples.
We are not sure that there is not even some
jealousy 10 it, and we solemnly warn
Simon that he ought to keep his eye on
General Butler; for although the great
counsellor, to keep up an appearance,
calls the Widow Oliver out of her
name when he addresses her in loud
voice. we are not ut all sure of what he says
in those pleasant little Sinking, smiling
passages with which he treasures her in an
undertone. We say this out OF regard to
Simons peace of mind in the future, for
we see how all this will como out. They
will make it up, and Simon will love tho
widow more deeply than ever when the
quarrel is over. Amantium irG dmoris in
teg,otio est. She may be Mrs. Simon yet,
and bigger woman than old Cleopatra.

The New Orleans Banks.

It seems to be the concurrent opinion of
good judges that the monetary crisis in
New Orleans will be Of short duration. The
national banks Of that city are, one and all,
in perfectly sound condition, but some Of
the State banks have made imprudent
investm ents in consolidated city bonds
which cause them embarrassment in conse-
quence of recent judicial decision declar-
ing unconstitutional special tax levy for
payment of interest. Two or three New
Orleans banks have failed because they
were badly managed and their capt.
tai was exhausted, but all the ma
tional banks are in a good condition
and a majority of the State banks are SOL
vent. The state of affairs in New Orleans
causes no uneasiness in this city, although
it leads to the calling home of large sums
deposited here by the New Orleans banks.
The temporary suspension of oil the banks
is merely to gain time until they can re-
ceive their New York funds. We direct
attention to our interesting Washington de-
spatch on this subject. which corroborates
the cheerful view taken by the New York
bankers.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1879-03-22

Can it be wondered at that there is trouble
between the lovers when the famous demo-
cratic doorkeeper from Texas came
between them, and WAS not only
'biger man than old Grant" but
even bigger man than old Cupid! Whis-
pering tongues can poison truth and con-
stancy lives in realms above, and it is
already known that that doorkeeper can
whisper so as to be heard over the whole
United States. There is one consolation
for the Senator, which is the reflection how
much worse he would be off if instead of
this gentle widow he had fallen into trouble
with some of the really adventurous women
at the national capital One as enterpris-
ing in love as Mrs. jerks was in politics
would have married him years ago and be
suing him now for divorce and swinging
alimony
