A Gentle Stimulus

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder by
Hostetter's Stomach Bltters, which is most
useful IN overcoming torpidity of these organs.
Besides infusing more activity into them, this
excellent tonic endows them with additional
vlgor, and enables them the better to undergo
the wear and tear Of the dIscharging function
imposed upon them by nature. Moreover, as
they are the channel for the escape of certain
impurities from the blood, increases their use
fulness by strengthening and BEAUTIFULLY slim
ulating them. In certain morbid conditions
OF these important organs, they fall into n
sluggish state, which Is the usual precursor of
disease, What then can be of greater service
than medicine which Impels them to greater
activity when slOthiul? No maladies are more
perilOus than those which affect the kidneys,
and medicine which averts the peril should
be highly esteemed.

MISCELLAN EOUS.

Holman, of Indiana, and Springer, of
Illinois, have double-teamed, and are work
ing together to get the republicans out
of Office in their districts.
The Charleston News is content to
leave on the republican party the respon-
sibility for all the ills that arose from the
wholesale emancipation of slaves.
A Vermont republican, defending Pres
ident Cleveland's financial policy before
the senate, is one of the things not ex-
pected year ago. The success of MIR.
Cleveland IN causing republicans to agree
with his views has no parallel among dem
ocratic presidents.
Mr.. McLane, our new minister to
France, was able to make two points for
himself in his speech, at the Yorktown
banquet, in Paris, Friday night, when he
said: Il am the grandson of soldier
who fought from the beginning to the
end OF tie war, under Lafayette. | am
also the bearer of the insignia of the
society of the Cincinnati"
The republican record for the very
qualities in legislation which the country
now demands is not SO untarnished that
republican action will be necessarily con-
sidered to be better than that of its oppo-
nent. In other words, the republican
party has lost its prestige, and that is not
an advantage which can be recovered
easily Harper's Weekly.
The presidential succession bill is now
law, having been signed by the presi-
dent. 1t transmits the presidency, in
the event of the death of both president
and vice president, to the cabinet begin
ming with the secretary of state. The
country is now reasonably secure against
that peculiar form of anarchy visions
of which affrighted the public mind
short time ago

d. H. Barnaby, of Owego, N. Y, says
that his daughter was taken with violent
cold which terminated with pneumonia.
and all the best physicians gave the case
up and said she could live but a few hours
at most. She was in this condition when
friend recommended DIR. VIM. HALLS
BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS, and advised
her to try it. She accepted it as a last
resort and was surprised to find that 1t
produced marked change for the better.
and by persevering permanent cure
was effected.

Yesterday afternoon one Of the most In.
tsresting dog fights sysr witnessed in this
vicinity was fought at Martins Ferry, in
Walnut Grove, the contestants being a
young Shepherd dog known as "shep,"
and owned by Sherman Kraft, OF this city,
and the famous bulldog "Crib," belonging
to Jack Brannon. "Crib" earned an al
most national fame by his plucky light
with the Pittsburgh champion, Jack Ma
poleon," at Golfers some time ago. The
Hght yesterday was attended with little
tormaIity, and all the money that changed
hands was little on side bets, as the fight
was only for the satisfaction OF the owners
OF the respective dogs.
The fight lasted with twenty'minute
rests from about two o'clock till nearly
six, four game rounds being fought.
"Shep" won all Of them, to the decided as
constituent Of most oil the spectators, who
We're admirers OF the sport from both
sides OF the river,
Neither dog was greatly injured, though
"Crib" was prstty bloody. "Shep" had
his left ear badly torn, but his throat was
not scratched, and he looked last evening
little like dog that had been fighting q
bulldog all afternoon, "shep" is not q
year old, and. weighs less than 20 pounds.
Next Monday arrangements are being
made for another interesting contest OF
the same kind, the contestants being
"Crib" and a ball pup owned by Patsey
Connolly, 0i.the South Side, aud son OF
"Jack Napoleon" The details have not
yet been fully determined upon.
