JUDGE CoTIRAN has spoken with
reference to the lumor that he will lie
q candidate for Congress in Colonel
Aikcn's district at the next election.
lie says: GAS unwillingly as NAV he
personally, to thrust my name before
the public, it is nevertheless dnc to my
official position, to shy most cmphati-
cally that ] have neither desire for the
position indicated, nor the vanity to
believe that my services rs q member
OF Congress could in anywisc be in,
dispensable to tho welfare Of the State. ."
1t is certainly an exercise Of good taste
IN Judge Cothran to refuse to cntcr
into scramble for Office under the
circumstances; and whatevor NAV be
his individual opinion and wishes. if
will bo readily conceded by all that he
would make an ablo, efficient and olo-
qucnt representative, and his course in
either house would reflect honor upon
himself and credit upon the State. Tho
Judge would render Invaluable service
to the State in whatever official chan-
ncl the abilities of his cultured mind
might be directed.

SENATE.-After yesterdays avalanche OF
bills in the senate it was thought that these
pests were disposed of for some time; but as
soon as the chaplain finished to-day there
were cries of "Mr. President from all parts
of the chamber by senator's anxious to
serve their constituents. Consequently an
other torrent of bills, the majority relics OF
the last sessi IN, was poure upon the secre-
tary's desk, exceeding that of yesterday. For
nearly two hours this business was contin-
uej.
Mr.. Morgan offered resolution, which
was agreed to, instructing the committee
on Indian affairs to inquire into the expedi-
ency of creating military academy west of
the -ississippi river, for training and edu-
eating Indian youths and men up to a
proper age, as soldiers, and to admit them
when qualified into the regular army.

passage of a resolution for the immediate
appropriation of $4,000 for printing the
records of the United States supreme court,
and it was referred to the committee of the
whole. he said Gil deflclenc'es snould
the house but by an appropriate s.xa;al, com

pointed, with instructions to report the le-
gal questions involved therein. 1t was Or

ABOUT THE STOMACH.

We dare say three-fourths OF the diseases
that prevail ia the human family are directly
or indirectly induced by some derangem ent
of the stomach. The most serious ailments
have their origin there. With dyspepsia the
food passes indigested through the lacteal
vessels and many particles ofdeleterous mat
ter are carried into the blood and gain lodg-
msnt often in the lungs and oAher,great cep-
tiers Of vitality. Hence dyspepsia favors TIE
occurrence of consumption in persons at all
predisposed to it. /. is also the primary
source of scrotula and other diseases of the
blood and skin.
The person who has pig pen appetite one
day and can eat little or nothing the next has
dyspepsia. The person who feels heaviness
at the stomach after eating, accompanied
with gulplng-up of wind and sour particles
of food, has dyspepsia. Besides these symp.
toms are bad taste in the mouth, pain in the
chest, shortness OF BREATH pslptation, head
ache, eiddiness, coldness ofe xtremities, Ian
guor, sleeplessness and dcspondency.
In prescribing Burdock Blood Bitters as a
cure for dyspepsia we desire the patient to eat
regularly a reasonable quantity OF good, plain
food (not too hot or too cold) and to use very
sparngly oftobacco (if addlcte to that hab-
it,) which is apt to exhaust the organs ofsal.
ivation. Dyspepsia is disease ofthe NJ ucous
membrane Inning the stomach. II the patienl
willtreat this mucous membrane of the stom.
ach with any sort of decency, ceasing to ag
grava;e Its sensitive surface with indigestible
matter, we guarantee the use of Burdoch
Blood Btters will cure him. That's all We
ask. Give the stomach fair chance, Bur
dock Blood Bitters will do the rest. Thous

A Scientific Victory.
From Longman's Magazine.

1t is interesting to note the wondrous
chan that has taken place, in the pop.
ular estimate of the Darwinian theory.
1t has been we'll said that new theory
has often to run through three different
phases. In the first place, every one
exclaims that the theory is not tue;
then it is urged that the theory is con-
trary to religion; and, lastly, that every.
body knew it long ago. The great doc.
trlne OF datu al selection promulgated
by Darwin has run through these
courses. At its publication it "as re-.
ceived with an outburst of incredulity
among the unthinking part of the COM
munity. Every one lecoilects the de-
nunciations it received and the ridicule
which the new doctrine h: ID to encoun-
ter. But the theory OF Da win has sur
vived that stage. 1t has also survived
the attacks of those who denouncc; the
theory as contrary to religion. The
win has quietly brushed aside such op.
position, and now we hear but little Of
it. The funeral of Darwin at Westmin-
ster Abbey must be regarded US mark
ing a momentous epoch in the history
of thought. That the great doctrine
would one dav be accepted was nec-
essary truth, but I do not think that
any one who recollects the publication
IF the "Origin Of Species" could then
have anticipated the enormous change
in educated opinion which the next
quarter of century was to disclose.
Still less likely would it have seemed
that the whole nation would have 80
far acknowledged Darwin that with one
accord they demanded that his remains
should be inferred in the national mau-
soleum.
