was out of doors in the snow, chopping
firewood. Her lord and master was
sitting in his only downstairs room,
with his feet on the stove and pipe in
his mouth. In the same room, which
was bare of carpet or curtain. and con-

children, a boy, aged seven swearing

fingers, who began to howl as soon as
L spoke, and a baby of two years,
seated in frying pan on the floor, en-
gagged in carefully wrapping up its bare
feet in dish cloth. Their mother fol-
lowed us into the house. and promptly

JACOB THOMPSON, President Buchan-
ans Secretary Of the Interior, died last
week and out of respect to his memory,
Secretary Lamar closed the Interior De-
partment. This proceeding is regarded
as being in very questionable taste, to
say The least. A protest goes forth against
honering man by the public depart
ments which he used dishonorably for
reasonable ends. Unlike an honorable
rebel, Thompson did not withdraw from
bis official station, but kept in his Office
that he might better promote the interest
of secession and SOW the seeds of treason.
One scheme Thompson engaged in was a
plot to burn New York and other cities
To pay respect to the memory of such g
man is not only in bad taste, but an out.

will be no discharges of employees except
for neglect OF duty"
Here is good Democratic authority fol
a satisfactory condition Of things in Que
department, at least, that has been in the
hands of the "g. o. p.," 10, these many
years. According to Mr.. Villas, "expert
accountants will sfan to show up' any.

Dear Sir:-FOr nine months succeeding

complication of other ailments, from

heard of your success in treating
diseases by electricity, and resolved to
try your treatment, with but little faith
however, that could be cured. But 1
now rejoice to know that you, under
divine providence, have restored my
health. And | feel it a duty l owe to
the afflicted, to make my case known,
and to recommend your system, for the
treatment of similar cases.

The Renewal of NigOr

The most important step in this process is
the restoration of the functions of digestion
and assimilation to full and interrupted exer-
else, since it is upon their activity alone that
the system can depend to replenish its dwind-
ling store of energy. Among tonics which the
voice of the people and high professional en-
d~orscment approve as reliable, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has long been recognized as
the best. Its properties as n medicated stimu-
liant commend it to ali persons suffering from
the effects of fatigue, meutal or bodily, as AN
immediate means Of counteracting their
effects: and in cases where loss of vigor is at
tributable to such weakening chronic causes as
dyspepsia, affections of the kidneys and
bladder, and the iufrmities peculiar to age, it
produces permanently beneficial results, Those
twin obstacles to health and vigor, liver COM
plant and constipation, are also removed by
it. 1t also prevents and eures malarial disease.
