FEMALE BITTERs is amost wonderful
medicine for the cure of chronic female
complaints He knew of a Ease in
Galveston, considered almost hopeless,
which resisted all medical aid from the
profession. She was induced to try
the Bitters and commenced improving
at once, and was finally en- irely cured
by their $50. Similar cases are record
ed all over the country and no female
afflicted with any disease peculiar to
her SEX, should fail to use them. As a
uterine tonic and finale regulator it
has no equal. for married and single.

Nugget of Solid Truth.

A writer in q recent issue of the
Galveston News, commenting up.
on the unaccountable action OF
political assemblages very wisely
declares it to be the effect of a
peculiar contagion which is more
fully explained in these remarks =
Take the average man unto
himself, and lie is a celebrating
rejecting sort of creature. Seat
him by himself On a stump in a
forest, give him a good pocket
knife and a whittling-stick, and
his thoughts will be cool, calm,
deliberate and sensible. He will
himself be dignifed in his bear
ing ; he will look as sober as
patience on a monument" Take
that same average man and pu,
him in a convention, of several
hundred, whether of politics or
religion, but more especially Of
politics, and he loses his dignity
loses his deliberation, loses his
senses
And like a rat without a tail,
He'll do, he'll do, he'll do.
he is utterly submerged, his iden.
tity lost in a contagion Of dam.
phoolishness, and his acts then
become as unaccountable as he is
unaccountable for them. He will
do anything that is ridiculous and
and without sense. Shrewd dem
agoguee understand this strange
weakness Of men ; they watch and
wait for the contagion to get un-
der Roadway; then they put in
their work and lead by the nose.
If the sense of men, rejecting and
fairly informed men. could be OBJ
tanned separate and apart unto
themselves. it would indeed be vox
populi, and possibly vox Del but
when obtained in these boisterous
conventions, it is almost sure to be
only the vox of the politician or
demagogues, and much more like
ly to be vox Sataui than vox Del.

We have ever been an ardent
admirer Of the sublime. The nigh

majestic mountain and the daz.
cling scintillations Of a giant in

emotion. Especially is this true
IF oratory, and We are proud to
learn that the recent Democratic
Convention at Galveston has de
veloped such a superior order of
eloquence as the spbjoined extract
demonstrates -
I never saw or read Of a con-
vention that seemed to be more
completely submerged in the mi
asm of damphoolisbness than that
at Galveston. 1t was soaked as
thoroughly as Clarence in his butt
Of Malmsey. 1t is a psychological
study to read the speeches deliver
ed there, after the miasm got I'M
der good Roadway. The ATTEST
speech was that Of Roseboro, of
Bell county, who said the sun rose
in the west. He straddled the
earth, with one foot resting on the
north pole and the other on the
south pole F.; he scratched his head
by rubbing it against the seven
stars. and scratched his back by
rubbing it against the jutting dia.

holier than St. Paul or St. Peter,
or the Archangel Gabriel, more
luminous than the great orb of
day, more powerful than a thous-
and earthquakes and volcanoes ;
more profound than the infinite
abyss, and mors sweetly scented
than all the roses of summer.
Every candidate also had his body

life ; and this, too, coming from
men who, for the most part, taken
unto themselves, and apart from
Democratic conventions, are very
sensible men, who can make a
good speech. So much for the
miasm. My opinion is that these
gentlemen, when they return home,
will have to consume the entire
stock of blue mass and calomel in
their respective localities, to work
the miasm out of their bodies. l
