Wretched. Indeed,

Are those whom confirmed tendency to
biliousness, subjects to the various and
changeful symptoms indicative of liver com
plant. Nausea, sick headache, constipation,
furred tongue, an unpleasant breath, dull
or sharp pam in the neighborhood of the
affected organ, impurity of the blood and
loss of appetite signalize it as one OF
the most distressing, as it is
most common Of maladies. There is, how
ever, benign specific for the diseased and
all its unpleasant manifestations. 1t is the
concurrent testimony of the public and the
medical proprofession, that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is a medicine which
achieves results speedily felt, thorough and
benign. Besides rectifying liver disorder,
it invigorates the feeble, conquers kidney
and bladder complaints. and hastens the
convalescence OF those recovering from en-
feebling diseases. Moreover it is the grand
specific for fever and ague.

Mules.

Previous to 1888 there were very
few mules in this country, and those
of such an inferior order as to preju-
dice farmers against them as unfit to
compete with horses in work upon the
road or farm. Consequently there
were no Jacks, and no disposition to
increase the stock. But Washington
became convinced that the introduce
ton of mules generally among South
ern planters would prove to them
great blessing as they were less liable
to disease, longer lived worked upon
shorter feed, and are much less liable
to be injured than horses by care
less servants. AS soon as it became
known abroad that the illustrious
Washington wanted to stock his Mount
Vernon estate with mules, the King of
Spain sent him jack and two jennets
from the island of Malta. The first
was of gray color, sixteen hands high,
heavily made, and of sluggish nature.
lie was named the Royal Gift. The
other was called the knight of Malta.
He was about as high, and 1.-the and
fiery even to terocity. The two sets of
animals gave him tho most favorable
opportunity of making improvements
by cross breeding, the result of which
was the favorite jack Compound, be-
cause he partook of the best points in
both originals. The General bred his
blooded mares to these jacks, even TAX
ing those from his own stables for that
purpose, and produced such superb
mules that the country was agog to
breed some of the sort, and they soon
became quite common. This was the
origin of improved mules in tho Unit
ed States. Though over eighty years
ago, there are now some of the third
and fourth generation of the knight
of Malta and Royal Gift to be found In
Virginia, and tho great benefits aris-
ing from their introduction to the
country are to be seen upon every cul-
tivated acre In the Sou thern Stars.

Vinegar and WhiskeY.

The hearing was completed to. day before

Raum gave the views Of the internal revenue
department upon the bill, and Messrs.
Rush and Parnell Of Chicago, Cushing of
Dubuque, Bechtner of Milwaukee and
Stage of st. LOUIS represented the manu-
facturers With some slight notifications
it is probable the bill will be favorably re-
ported to the house.
