Feeble Ladies.

Those languid, tiresome sensations,
causing you to feel scarcely able to be
on your feet: that constant drain that
is taking from your system all its elas-
ITCHY; driving the bloom from your
cheeks; that continual strain upon
your vital forces, rendering you irrita-
BILE and fretful, can easily be removed
by the use of that marvellous remedy,
Hop Bitters. Irregularities and OBJ

at once, while the special cause of per-
iodical pain is permanently removed.

cruelty to dumb animals, held its fourth
annual meeting at Philadelphia last
week There were present representa-

the prevention of cruelty to animals,
and other humane and philanthropic
people, who feel an interest in the no

was taken toward securing state and
national legislation for the more COM
Portable transportation and protection
of live stock and kindred objects. Mr..
Edwin Lee Brown, Of Chicago, presl-
dent, was reelected, as was also the sec
retary, Mr. Abraham Firth, of Boston.
The next annual meeting is to be held
IN Boston. Every man and woman IN
this country who has heart to feel
and mind to think should take a deep
interest in this association, and wish
God-speed to its efforts to protect ami
mails from cruelty and ill-treatment at
the hands of that class of inhulaan men
who by nature and instinct are worse
than brute beasts.

Severe Winter Weather ON the South
American Coast.
New York Star.
By the steamship Archimides, which
arrived here yesterday from Buenos
Ayres, information was received of
fearful storms of wind and rain in
South America, followed by intense
cold. Chief Officer McJeffrey said that
the weather along the South American
coast had been terrific beyond pre-
cedent Tens of thousands of cattle
had persisted from starvation and cold,
but the greatest loss was among the
sheep.
In regard to the sheep Officer Nc
Jeffrey said:
II don't know whether it is superior
intelligence or want of intelligence, but
those South American sheep have
reprehensible habit that of destroying
themselves. If they are deprived of
sufficient food, or are exposed to ex-
cessive cold, they start out in immense
droves atthe top of their speed. Let
them reach the side of a deep ravine,
and if one of the flock springs into it
and is dashed to death, every sheep be-
hind him will follow the example. So,
If they come to q stream, let the leader
take plunge, and every ono at his
back will strike the water with bleat
expressive of the knowledge Of what is
to come"

THE trial Of Parnell and his fellow

prisoners, including the soldier, have
been committed for trial. The five

llancOck's Letter Of a ccept
ance,

The following is Gen. Hancock
letter Of acceptance:
GOVERNORS ISLAND, New York
City. July 29.-Gentlemen: l have
the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter Of July 18th, 1880, ap-
prising mo formally Of my nomination
to tho Office Of President Of the United
States by the national democ ratio con-
veutiou lately assembled in Cincinnati
I accept the nomination with grateful
appreciation Of the confidence reposed
iu ne. The principles cuunciated by
the convention are those l have
cherished 10 the past aud shall endeav-
or to maintain in the future. The
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments TO tho constitution Of the
United States, embodying the result
OF the war for the Union, are inviolable.
If called to the presidency l should
deem it my duty to resist with all Of
my power, any attempt to impair or
ievade the full force and eject of the
constitution, which. in every article
section aud amendment, is the su-
preme law Of the land. The constitu.
lion forms the basis Of the government
Of the United States. The powers
granted by it to the legislative, elective
and judicial departments define and
limit the authority of the general
government. The powers not delega-
ted to the United States by the con
stitutiou. nor prohibited by it to the
states belong to the states respectively,
or to the people generally and state
governments. each acting in its OVID
sphere, without touching on lawful
jurisdiction. This Union. comprising
n general government with general
powers, and state governments with
state powers for purposes local to the
states, is a political structure the
foundations of which were laid in the
profoundest wisdom. This is the
Union our fathers made, and which
has been SO respected abroad, and be.
nefcent at home. Tried by blood and
FIRE, it stands to day model form Of
free popular government; a political
system which, rightly administered,
has been aud will continue to be the
admiration Of the world. May We
not say, nearly 10 the words Of Wash
ington, the unity Of government which
constitutes US one people, 10 justly
dear to US? It is the main pillar in
the edi6ce of our real independence,
The support of our peace, safety and
prosperity, and Of that liberty we 60
highly prize aud intend. at every bsr-
ard, to preserve. Eut no form Of gov
erumeut. however carefully devised
no principles however sound, will pro.
t,ct the rights of the people uules,
the administration is faithful aud ef-
ficieut. II is a vital principle in our
system that neither fraud nor force
must be allowed to sgbvert the rights
Of the people When fraud. violence
or Incompetence controls, the noblest
institutions aud Eisest laws are useless.
The bsyonet is not St instrument for
collecting the votes Ct freeueu, Its

The result IF the town elections held in
Connecticut Monday is most gratifying to
the republicans, since it clearly indicates
the drift Of popular feeling in one OF the
States which he democrats claim by a
large majority. Our democratic con-
temporarics claim that these town elections
have no special significance. The decla-
ration will not be believed. Party politics
has much to do in town elections in Con-
necticut where the parties are so evenly
divided. This year. coming just before a
most important election. and determining
as they do the officers who are TO have the
making up OF the voting lists for next
month, they can but be indicative
of popular feeling. In 1876, Mr.. Tilden'
majority in Connecticut was 2900 over
President Hayes and 2i50 over all. In
Hartford Tilden's majority was $50.
Monday the republicans carried the city
by 400. showing a change in favor of the
republicans of 1860, thus wiping out
nearly half OF Mr.. Tilden's majority.
The result in the other cities, compared
with the vote Of 1876. deprivcs the de mo-
Gratis OF their entire majority of that year,
leaving the towns to roll up decided re-
publican majority. The result. we be-
leve. insures Connecticut to the republic
cans in November.
