Nerve lnquletude and its Remedy

Restless nerves, at least those that are
constantly so. are weak ones as we'll.
The true wayto tranquilize them thor
oughly is to strengthen them. 1t may
be, nay, It very often is, necessary to
nave recourse to q sedative or even an
opiate, in dangerous cases OF nerve in
unnatural palliatives is greatly to be
deprecated. Though not, In a restrictive
sense, specific for nervousness, H0stet-
ter's stomach Bitters Is eminently cal
culated to allay and eventually over
come 1t, o fact which the recorded expe-
rienco OF many goes to substantiate.
This tnestimable tonic, by promoting d.
gestion, assimilation and secretion,
touches the three key-notes upon which
the harmony of all the bodily organs
depends, and the result is that fresh
stores OF vitality are diffused through the
system, Of which the nerves receive their
due apportionment and grow tranquil as
they gather strength.

celebrated physiognomist, will
commence a course of six illustrat-
ed lectures on The Human Face at
Turn-Verein Hall, with a free
lecture on Physiognomy this
evening, at eight o'clock. DR..

"Dr. Simms, the distinguished
physiognOmist, will lecture on
"The Human Face" at the Con-
gregational church tonight. Ad-
mission, 25 cents. This is the third
week Of DR.. Simms's highly in
structive course of lectures in Sac
ramento. The large church has
been literally crowded each night,
and his lectures are decidedly
amusing and original. His de.
scriptlons of the faces of strangers
evidence his wonderful skill and the
definite accuracy of the science he
has discovered"
We have examined DR.. Simms's
remarkable series of pictures OF
eminent psrsonages. They are
spread out on tho walls of the hall

The publishers of the New ORLEANS
TINES wish especially at this time that
every citizen cf this State should be sub
scriber or reader of the TIMES. Questions
of the greatest importance to Louisiana
are pending waiti,. g solution. A conven-I
ton of her delegates is now in session
drafting an organic law for adoption TO-
replace the pre- >ent constitution, and
which it is hoped will radically reform
those fearful abuses, wasteful extravagan-
cies and gross injnstices which have been
nurtured by it aud have grown up under
it. The snbj. ct of restrictive quarantine as
TO its efficacy in preventing the introduc-
ton OF the scourge of yellow fever and It's
acknowledged blghted effects upon the
business and prosperity of the city OF New
Orleans and the State. is now engrossing to
u large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labr, immigration, rall
road communications with our neighborlng
State of Texas, removal of the State capl-
tai. etc.. demand constant consideration
and discussion.
The publishers of the TINES, refer with
pride to the position taken by the TINES
on all of these questions. Their inspiring
motive has been the good of the State and
her people. for upon her prosperity, devel-
lsopment and growth depend their compen-
sati0n and reward. From no other source
can they expect to.subserye these ends.
The thorough independence of the TIMES.
its strength, courage and consistency IN
the discussion of all questions, its indefatl
gable and persistent Lbors to restore the
wonted prosperity of the South, have made

the leading Southern Journal and made II

Strong Cruel.

Wallace Gruelle, of the Breckinridge
News, declines a peice of love sick poe
try and gives the writer some good adj
vice, as follows:
If nothing will content you but that
gal-if you will not be satisfied with a
lock of her hair, or the privilege of
smelling her tracks when She walks
why, pitch in like man and win her.
Hug her, and squeeze herhard; kiss her,
and kiss her like you meant it; if YOU
make her ribs to crack and her lips to
bleed, so much the better-she will
know you mean business. TouZle her
hair. If there is any one thing more
than another that delights the heart of
a girl, ii is the opportunity to display
her "wealth Ofsilken tresses" to lovers
eyes. Throw faint heart to the dogs,
and load yourselftO the muzZle with au-
dacity. All the women love audacious
wooers. They keep them from getting
sleepy during their visits. Your
goody sweethearts, with stiff collars,
creased hair, glossy stOre-clothes, lips
drilled to 'prunes and prisms," and
hne, finicky manners, suit very well for
Sunday strolls and church show. But
when IT comes to real, honest, homespun
courtship, a sensible girl wouldn't give
one strong armed, quick-lipped, saucy-
eyed lover for a peck measure full of the
other sort. Try our recipe, young man,
and you will find il answers your pur-
pose much better than To rotten-egg her
vanity with execrable rhymes.
