In Persia the cemeteries are not quite so
obtrusivo as in Turkey, because the Persisns
lay their gravestones down mostly instead of
setting them up. Beyond this difference,
however, there is little to choose between
them. A Persian cemetery presents dismal
spectacle and is full Of pitfalls. The ordi-
nary grave is shallow vault arched up level
with the surface with sun dried bricks. Un-
der the influence Of the spring rains these
soft bricks crumblc away and collapse, leav-
ing tho skeleton exposed. IThe holes of
badgers and jackals often are seen leading
into tho graves, where these ghoplish prowl-
ers have burrowed for food. Both Turks and
Persians bury their men about two feet and
half beneath the surface and their womer
from three to four feet. This shallownes:

Ann,hilating Mul,lform Disease.

Miasmatic, or malarial disease has
many forms. Physicians have, for the
sake Of convenience and for the purpose
of indicating its most strongly marked
forms, subdivided it into intermittent and
bilious remittent fever. dumb ague and
sgue cake. But it prevents an infinite
variety of symptoms in different lndi-
viduals. Be these symptoms what they
will, always remember that Hostetters g
Stomach Bitters will annihilate them at
the outset, and prevent their recurrence.
A review Of the proofs would convince
any one Of the fact. This. however. is
impossible because they are too numer-
Gus, and unnecessary because the effects
of this grand anti-malarial specific are q
matter of common knowledge. No less
familiar to the public are its remedial
and preventive effects in bilious attacks,
constipation, dyspepsia. incipient rheu'
matism, debility and kidney troubles. Il

Half hidden mid sweet labyrinths of bowers,

 PoTrs STATION, June 16.-As I have not seen anything from this place for some time, will write you a few lines.
 Farmers are very busy in their crops cutting wheat and working the low lands, winch have been too wet to work for some time. Crops in this part of the county are looking fine, better than for several years. The farmers in this section have been taking advantage of the cool weather, and have their corn nearly finished and their cotton in good condition. If the seasons continue, there will be large yield of cotton and corn and other produce in this coun- try.
 The state convention has been the subject of conversation here for the past two weeks. Now, since the con- vention is over with, let us fall into line on principles of Democracy, and vote for the nominee, remembering the old adage: "United we stand, divided we fall"
 Some of the boys around the Station are talking of starting to Texas soon. May they have h pleasant trip and soon return.
