THE NATIONAL COMPLAINT.

Dyspepsia y is the national complaint. Almost
every other man or woman you meet has it, and
the result Is that the number Of pseud0-reme-
dies for 1t Is as numerous as Pharaoh's host.
They are for the most part worthless. There Is,
however. q searching erad!cant of this distress
ing and obdurate malady, one whose genuine
merits long since raised 1t to u foremost place
among the staple medicines Of America. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters extirpates dyspepsia
with greater certainty and p%romptitude than
any known remedy, and IS n most genial invig-
GRANT, appetizer and aid to secretion. These are
not empty assertions, AZ thousands of our coun-
trymen and women who have experienced Its
effects are aware, but are backed up by irrefrag-
iblc proofs repeatedly laid before the public.
The Bitters also promote q regular habit Of body
and give a healthful timulus to the urinary Or
gans.

PROFESSOR MoRsE's LECTURE.
Household Art in Japan.


A large and cultivated audience were lin at
tence at City Hall last night to listen to onr
ever popular Portland boy Edward S. Morse,
deliver his lie cture before the Natural History
Society. The Professor is looking to be in fine
health and we fancy that the climate agrees
with him. Before coming to the subject mat
ter he gave short sketch of the Portland So
ciety of Natural History, which has risen from
two CONGREGATIONS and still lives to build for
itself a handsome house for the reception of its
collection. He stated that it was the only one
which had met with such ill-luck and survived.
He urged the claims of this society warmly and
begged the citizens of Portland to sustain it as
il deserved Combined assistance will make it
the best society in the country. From this
point we find it hard to follow the lecturer
owing to his peculiar conversational style of
speaking interspersed with off-hand drawings
and comments soto UOce. The main point of
the lecture was to show how closely the Japan
ese follow nature in all their works Of decora
ton. The lecture was intensely interesting
and rather too short to our mind. He might
have talked to that audience till II o'clock if he
chose, they ere so thoroughly pleased. He
ought to deliver o course here on The same sub

Evidences OF Business Activity.

Mr. EDroR:-It is gratifying to see, after
an absence Of several years, the evidences of
business activity, even in hasty trip from
Portland to Bangor, by way of Augusta and
thence over what we used to call the "bacl
route" returning to Portland by way of
Waterville and Lewiston.
1t seemed after short stay in Bangor that
was back again in Mud Springs, California, in
good old lively times. Everybody appeared in
terested in some way in the new mines; and
chances to invest i'll all directions, with as fair
prospect of success as ever there was in any
country, are numerous.
The specimens of quartz that I examined
are as fine as California or Nevada has ever
produced, and the leads are as well defined
A marked change in the railroad stations
along the road is very observable. There has

three men with large salaries to do, thus
saving, in no small degree to the company,
and adding to the safety of the travelling
