An Obstacle to Physical Wen Being.

An Obstacle to Physical Well Being.
Physicians rightly characterize consti-
patton as an obstinate impeachment to the
welfare OF the body. The performance of
the more important functions, such as di-
gestlon, hillary secretion and an active
circulation of the blood, are interrupted
by it in greater or less degree, as the de-
velopment of the complaint is incipient
or mature. Not at once, OF course, but
with reasonable promptitude, HosteIter's
Stomach Bitters will remove every symp-
tom 10 which it gives rise. as we'll as the
minor maladies that spring from it, among
them Indigestion and chronic biliousness
From drenchIng cathartics it is vain to
hope for permanent benefit, and there are
lew purgatives that are not violent and
profuse in their operation. Blue pill and
calomel are designed to act upon the liver
only, and taken frequently are pernicious
to health. The BIiters produces relaxation
of the bowels without pain, and a re-
newal or their regularity. 1t also con-
quers fever and ague, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia and inactivity of the kidneys.

THE AMERICAN PIGMIEs.
Relics of a Strange Race Found in
Marble Canyon of the Colorado.

In front of him was miniature dwell
ing imbedded in the recess. This dwell
ing was perfect in all It's appointments,
though those appointments were of the
rudest kind. 1t had certainly been fash
toned by human bands. and
those hands, though small, had
evidently been industrious and guided by
intelligence. The marble dwelling boast
ed doors scarcely ID inches 10 height, and
the tiny windows which lighted up the
front were scarcely the span OF baby
hand. These doors and windows were
nothing more than holes in the walls OF
the dwelling and through them the vari-
OBS apartments could be seen. There
were accommodations. apparently, fer
some eight or ten little persons, and sea T.
tered about were many utensils OF use
and ornament. These things were ia sh-
Toned from the clear-veined marble and
bore the look OF children's toys rather
than the household gods OF grown folk.
The paths which cOnverged to the en-
trance of the dwelling from all parts OF
the cliff face were some 10 or II inches in
depth. and mu I have been cut with
enormous labor by men whose stature
could not have exceeded foot.
our adYenturer, after concluding his
observations, grasped his rope, and after
a perIIous ascent again stood upon the
summit Of the mighty cliff, IN whose face
the pigmv race Of OLD had followed and
hewn their dwelling place. VINO these
little folk were, how they lived and how
they died, are secrets buried forever In the
mighty tombs of the past.

The thanks of the society were voted to
Mr.. Sawyer for his full and comprehensive
report.
Rev. Mr.. Blanchard, after commencing the
agents report, suggested that a meeting be
held at time and place to be fxed, ,and have
Mr. Sawyer's report read and supplemented
by remarks from the clergymen and others
interested in the work af the society.
This suggestion was seconded by Rev. H.
P. Winter, secretary of the Young Mems
Christian Association.
Rev. Mr.. Blanchard, after number had
expressed approval of his suggestion, moved
that committee of five be appointed to take
into consideration the advisa6lhty q 1oid-
ing such public meeting, and If deemed ad-
yisable, with authority to fix the time and
nlace. and make other needed arrangements.
This motion was carried, and Charles Nc

THE FISHERIES.
Hon. r. 8. Reed on the Free Fish
Clause in the New Tariff Bill.
He Calls Attention to and Denounces
Proposed Outrage.

WASHINGTON April 7.Mr. Reed of Main
to-day expressed himself as follows on the
free fish clause in the new tariff bill: "Put
ting fish on the free list is an unexpected
blow at the fishing interest of the country
1t comes also at time when it will be most
severely felt. Under the treaty of 1871 free
fish had been the price the United States
paid for the right of fishing in provincial
water, and a little more than year ago it
became evident to everybody that that price
was too high, that free fish importation from
Canada even coupled with the right Of fish
ing on the colonial coast was steadily and
surely running the American fisheries. Fully
convinced of this fact the fishermen of the
Northern coast with unanimity born of
thorough information, demanded the abroga-
to the fisheries. Congress responded prompt
" by ordering notice of its abr0gation and
the treaty ceased to operate last July.
The President had the misfortune to be so
misinformed as to prepare convention with
Great Britain on the subject but the lndig-
nant remOnstrances of all interested has
been so patent in reason and so sound in
foundation that by common consent the re-
commendation of the President has dropped
out of every mans thoughts.
This bill proposes to enact the very outrage,
the fear of possibility of which so aroused
the Indignation of the whole New England
1t does more. 1t proposes to give to Canada
for nothing what the Dominion is longing to
pay high price for. The bill proposed by
the majority could hardly afford to have in 1t
so striking an example of the folly of theories
which pay no attention to existing facts"

be nothing to prevent that gentleman from resum

cept the fact that vindcations OF that sort don't
vindcate with the present administration.
Committeeman Staples OF Knox expressed nini-
