4 Chance for Health

Is afforded those fast sinking into condition of
hopeless debility. The means are at hand. In
the form of genial medicinal cordial Hostetter;s
Stomach Bitters embodies the combined qualities
of blood fertilizer and depurent, a tonic and an
Alternative. While it promotes digestion and as
smlation and stimulates appetite, has the further
effect of purifying the life current and strength
ening the nervous system. As the blood grows
richer and purer by its use, they who resort to
this sterling medicinal agent, acquire not only
vigor but bodily substance. healthful change
in the secretions is effected by 1t, and that sure
and apid physical decay which chronic obgtruc-
ton of the functions Of the system produce is
arrested. The prime causes Of disease being re-
moved, health is speedily renovated and vigor
restored.
1t is reported that an English bank
er, acting in the name Of ex-Empress
Eugene, has arrived in Paris for the
purpose of extricating Nine. de Fried
land, god-daughter of the ex-Empress,
who, with her husband, Baron de Fried
land, is under arrest, Nine. de Fried
land being charged with forging her
grandmither's signature to acceptances.
Some of the New York girls must
look like small hussars in their red
jackets braided with gold. Collar,
cuffs and jackets fairly glitter. with
metal, and the effect is decidedly mil
itary.

MENPBIs. Tenn, September 20, 1881.
The volume Of financial business
exhibits a gradual increase as the
autumn trade becomes heavier and
more active, and the tone of all mar
kets of the country is quiet. The
rates Of discount rule steady at 6 to s
per cent, money being in ample sup
ply for all legitimate demands. The
leading features Of the week have
been an advance in Tennessee State
6s to 20 and 709, against 68A last
Wednesday, and a strong feeling with
a slight advance on Arkansaw issues;
also the call Of the Secretary of the
national treasury, $50, 1000, 900 of bonds.
The call is wholly for 81 per cents or
old 5s and 6s of 1861, which matured
July LIST, and includes $4,000, 900 Of
registered bonds, upon which interest
will cease December 24th-Nos. 1749
and 1910, of $50; 12,431 to IL, of
800; 9005 to 1920, of $500; 44,577 to
1920, Of $1,000; 1871 to 1880, of
$4,000, and 25,79O to 1850, of
$4,000. Many bonds among the
above have already been cancelled,
but there is still outstanding the
amount stated. There will also be
redeemed at the rate Of 80, 600, 900 per
week, beginning to-day and running
for five weeks, any others Of the ex-
tended 3! per cents, the government
paying par and accrued interest for
the same.
AT the present value Of 4 per cents,
HI, the net interest is barely 3 per
cent to the holder, and it was ques-
toned in New York previous 20 the
call whether or not Secretary Win
dom will pay so high a premium when
the extended BIS command but 1901
to 1917. 1t was limited, however, that
the leading banks holding heavy
amounts Of the 81 per cents had mott
fed tie Treasurer that if the latter
were called and they forced to replace
with As, at their ruling high value
they would withdraw their circulation.
1t remains to be seen whether they
will do this. The general tone of the
New York spectators was buoyant on
Saturday, when it became known that
the call above alluded to had been
determined on.
Exchange on the East has offered
in liberal volume during the week,
and rates have not varied, the banks
buying cotton bills on New York
at 81 so to$3 70 per thousand discount
without and with grace. while they
sell drafts on New York or the West
at 81 30 per thousand, premium. On
New Orleans rates are steady at ic

farms the short crop has been wholly
picked out except a few unripe top
bolls scarcely worth the saving, while
numerous fields have been turned into
stuck pastures. The outturn in the
uplands range from one-fourth to one
third ofan average crop, a few favored
spots yielding half an average, while.
the valley plantations promise from
one.half to a little more of an average,
the very best in some localities going
to tbree-fourths of an average. All of
the crop is expected to be picked and
housed both on the hills and in the
bottoms by the end Of next month,
and at the farthest by the middle Of
November, at least throughout the
northern half of the cotton belt, ex-
tending from Vicksburg 200 miles
south of this point to the upper
boundary Of Tennessee a hundred
miles to the north. The foregoing re-
marks are suggested as a fair state
