One great reason why hot weather
is SO facilitating lies in the fact that
the body is exhausted by the labors Of

this should be so. In order, therefore,
to resist this tendency to exhaustion
il only becomes necessary to re-inyig-
crate the body, which can readily be
done by one or two bottles Of Warmers

t~ensively used by physicians for this
purpose, and is for sale by druggists in

 Since the result of the labors of the Chi csgo Convention have been published ''the infelicitous condition ofthirgs" has changed, and the thankful hearts that once rejoieed because of Republican disconforture, are HOW turned to mourning at the certain prospect of Republican victory.

Who Does IL Mean.
JAMES M. SANFORD.

As the season moves 10 summer time it is the custom of Washington to have some grea. mans weakness or iniquity to descant upon. For two springs the ball was kept up meIrlly, but this year the ardOr Is still dor
 mant. and there Is no one 10 talk about. Every great man and statesman has con- dGcted himself properly, and at the end of \ long session there are DO special tales for the scandal loying sex to tell over their iced teas and sherbets. The recent we'd ding of 8 territorial delegate reminds one though of a chance he narrowly ran about year ago. Some passengers on sn eastern bound train were interested in q tall mag ni6cient looking woman hailing from the remote, wild West. In a burst of confidence she related that she was bound for Wash ington, there to marry her true love, whom stress of public affairs had hindered from callantly going to his bride. With her was her srosseau. four trunks filled, and of their contents she discussed quite freely. Arriv- ed here, she found that be had secured SC commOdations at third-rste hotel, and his conduct in all was so incomprehensiblet that the wedding was postponed and postponed, until the fair lady winged her way West ward and demanded justice before the Courts of her Territory By sults for breach of promise and by legal demands for moneys advanced, the lady's wrongs were lighted.

The Americans ran out of ammunition, and were forced to retreat, but their defeat bad all the moral effect of victory. The Brit ish killed and wounded was l05f, including 70 commissioned officers wounded and lS killed. The Americans killed, wounded a,d missing only i45. The Americans were inferior in numbers and discipline, being raw militis, bat were terribly Tn earnest. Genl.

Senator Vest of Missouri, is reported to have said, in recent speech, that the sue cess of Central Grant in the coming cam paign would mean the failure ot free iDsti- futions and constitutional government, Senator Vest no doubt spoke in the same strain of the Grant campaign which closed at Appomsitox, and yet Graot was success ful then, and liberty still lives. Had Grant been diefeAted in 1865, and Senator Vest and his crowd been successful, there would now be no free institutions nor con stituhcnal government worth preserving. The election of GarfieEd will be another Grant victory, as much ss was that at VTeks- burg or the Wilderness, and when the people of the United States want sdvlse how to preserve free Insti,ituiions sud consti- tusional government, they will hardly seek it of those whose every act aud word has been directed 10 the overthrow of those in stitutions and that government.

The Very Worst

Tae Democratic papers have ransacked the record of Genl Garfield for flaws, and, sfter the strictest scrutiny, the very worst and only accusation that any paper laying clam to responsibility has dared 10 make, is, that =hen President Hayes vetoed the bill restricting the number of Chinese pas sengers in ssy cue ship te fifteen, as un- constitutional and ia violation of s treaty, Senator Garfield sustained the veto. This is the fatal error of hIs life, and the only one upon which the Democracy must rely 10 dsfea, the Republicans this fall. They had hoped for the nomination of Grant that they might ring the changes on em- perislisn, third term, etc. Blame, that they might smother him with the bloody shirt or some one who has been accused of being tainted with ring contracts or other vilsiAnies, but the Convention having shut sff their wind by nominating Garfield. they have been obliged, like drowuing men, 10 catch at the only straw in sight, and that one seems to be beyond their grasp.
