Uniunt Taxation.

1t Is unjust to tax the stomach with burthens
mat 1t cannot bear. Many silly people thus ty.
tannize that faithful servitor until it rebels and
Furnishes them as they deserve. Dyspepsia is
usually the child OF gastronomic folly, but
whether this or the natural associate of inhcr-
ent feebleness from childhood it is surely and
pleasantly remediable with Hostctters Stomach
bitters, the finest and most highly sanctioned
gastric tonic in existence. AS result of the
tone impaired to the stomach, and the increased
activity of its digestive and assimiative action,
insured by the persistent use of this benign in
xigorant, general stamina is augmented, the
nerves strengthened and tranquilized, and .
tendency to insomnia and hypochondriasis de-
feated. Biliousness, chills and fever, rheuma-
usm and kidney troubles are conquered by this

A Good Chance for DEVELOPMENT.

Logan county, West Virginia, has an
area of 500 square miles, The only
town in the county is Logan Court
House, with population of 300.
There is only one church building in
the county, and that was erected by q
private individual. The nearest rail-
road station to the county seat is sixty
five miles. Goods are taken into the
county in push boats at Is cents per
100 pounds, as there are no roads
thoug bout the county. Land sells
from ST. to IS per acre. Dense forests
cover the greater part of this hilly and
mountainous country. The hills are
full of veins of coal varying in thick
ness from four to twenty-one feet.

Colci,a' Making Easy.

An explanation of the profusion
OF colonies in Kentucky is to be found
in part in the governors privilege to
appoint colonies on his staff ad libitum.
Gov: Blackburn appointed sixty in
Louisville alone, with proportionate
numbers for the back counties. It is
believed that no governor of Kentucky
ever had his entire staff together at one
time. There is no public hall big
enough to hold it. The Texas method
is easier still. You have only to drink
with the mayor to be named colonel on
the spot.
