THE MALONE TICKET REPUDIATED BY
THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATS.
The People Desert Them and
Malone makes a Desperate
Effort TO Hold His Forces.


Virginia The hope entertained by
this committee and shared by the
democratic party Of the county, that
the friends of Hancock and English
in Virginia would, by the action of
their local authorities, unite in a
traternal effort to carry the State,
having been defeated by the refusal
ofthe leaders OF the Seventh of July
movement to accept the basis of
settlement rendered by the regular
conservative democracy, this COM
mittee feels that it is due the high
trust with which it is charged that
it should now urge upon the people
OF the Old Dominion the hearty and
united support of the ticket which
was nominated by the convention
of May 10. That convention was
called, organized and conducted I'M
der the regular forms Of our party !;
its delegates participated without
contest in the national democratic
convention at Cincinnati; ii aifillates
with the national democracy Of the
country. Moreover it has earned
the commentator of the friends of
Hancock and English throughout
the land by the promptitude with
which its committee waived all
these claims and rendered the olive
branch to its opponents in an offer
10 make with them a fusion ticket,
on terms Of absolute equality-a
ticket which would made a republic
can canvass in Virginia an impossl-
bility. The rejection Of that offer
throws upon those who refused it
the responsibility for perpetuating
the divisions in your ranks. Let
the patriotic voters of Virginia heal
the breach. The need Of this unity
is nos manifest. Tie republican
party having adroitly famed the
discord in Virginia by the prctense
that they did not propose to make a
canvass in that State, now. deemlAg
that your discord is irreconcilable'
announce officially their resolve to
make IAN active and determined
campaign The sinews Of war are
said not to be lacking; the treasury
of ouropponets is full. A congress
ional contest has been everywhere
inaugurated. They publish to the
world their fixed purpose and con-
fident hope of your defeat. Let
their efforts be answered by your
greater zeal. Let THEFT assault be
met by no divided ranks. Undaun-
ted by temporary reverse,the nation
al democracy are everywhere clos
ing up for the final charge. They
call upon their Virginia brethren to
take their place in the ranks to
whose triumph they have so often
and so gloriously contributed. Post
poning to State canvass the local
differences which divide them, let
them in this great national contest
place themselves in accord with
their brethren of the whole Union,
in one supreme effort to restore
honest and economical government
to the country, and peace and JUS
tice to all its people. Patriotic du-
ty and party tcalty alike demand
this hearty concord between all the
friends of Hancock in Virginia.

In the Mayergasse lives very pretty
seamstress, Caroline w. Last week !.
gentleman met her on the stairs as she
was about to take an evening stroll. His
looks were wild and anxious, and he
shivered, while the sweat stood on his
brow. He complained of cold and
thirst, got Fraulein w. to light fire,
and sent for some wine, poured himself
out a glass, and just as he was raising
it to his lips, dropped down dead. "Who
is he? What is he? What do you
know of him ?" asked the police of the
girl, and all she could answer was:
''Nothing-absolutely nothing. In his
pockets were found q few horins,
but no card, no letter, which
could serve as Il means OF
Identification. The post-mortem re-
vealed extensive heart disease as the
immediate cause of death. There was
nothing for it but to take the body to
the morgue, although by the dress of
the deceased he was evidently a per-
son of means. Here the body lay
three days, and from here it would as

lean consul-general, accompanied by a
friend, come and asked to see the &C.

two gentlemen passed down the row of
silent sleepers till they came to where
lay the body of the man whose
sudden death has just been describ.
ed. "Good God,' shouted Mr..
Hunting, there is Eugene T..
Bell" 1.-TWO witnesses are required to
identify the body" said the warder,
and as Mr.. Hunning's friend had not
been personally acquainted with the
deceased, Mr.. Weaver, the American
consul for Vienna, was fetched in all
haste, and he, too, at once recognized
in the deceased the remains of his col
league, Mr.. Bell, American consul gen.
eral in Pesth. A mere chance thus led
to the Identification Of a body which
would otherwise have been buried few
hours later in a nameless and silent
grave. The fate of Mr.. Bell would have
remained forever one of those myster-
les of which any ones experience can
furnish numerous instances.

One Of the Representatives,.

Among physical impossibilities is that of en-.
joying bodily vigor while digestion is disturbed
the bowels irregular, the secretion and flow
of the bile interrupted. To correct these condi-
tions which interfere-as they surely do-with
the acquisition of strength and flesh, the dyspep-
tic, constipated invalid should use Hostetters
Stomach Bittcrs, u medicine which has been ac-
corded the highest sanction in professional quar-
ters, and which time and experience have proved
gained on its merits. Whether chronic disorder
of the digestive or secretivc organs is due as is
usually the case, to want of vigor and activity,
or to temporary irregularity in the performance
Of their functions, the Bitters has invariably
been found adequate to the task of furnishing
those organs with renewed vigor or permanent
regularity.

A correspondent tells how some fish

Pyramid Lake. They camped in a
small valley and built fire which
spread, and greatly to their surprise,
set fire tojots Of gas from natural wells.
They found no less than nine of the
jets within a circle of about five rods.
The gas was found to proceed from lit
tie holes from half an inch to all inch
in diameter. They left the jets burn
ing when they broke up camp, and a
few days later they found the wells
still burning. A Piute Indian went
with them. Lighting a stick he went
some rods further up the valley and
touched of dozen or more jets that
were fed from holes upon and around
a little hillock.
