Your Liver?

Is the Oriental salutation,
knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
>ls are sluggish and con
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-
gested, poisoning the
blood; frequent headache
ensues; a feeling of lassi-
tude, dependency and
nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de-
ranged. Simmons Liver

a healthy Liver than any

WHEN men accused of crime.
like McDouGALD and BowDEN,
skip the country, the CHRONICLE is
strongly inclined to believe them
guilty of the crimes charged. The
jury acquitted McDoUGALD but
that did not change the conviction
of the people as to his guilt. 1t is
now said that BowDEN's accounts
show he was dishonest to the amount
of about 100000. When he de-.
parted suddenly we said that if he
had been innocent he would have
remained at his post. "The wicked
flee when no man pursueth.''

A Bottle with a History.

In theearly part of 1853, 2S years ago,
General G. NJ. Dodge, of Iowa, aud
General NJ. NJ. Bane, of Illinois, now
chief of the contest division, General
Land Office, were by the fortunes OF
war thrown together as military officers
and socially at Corinth, Miss. While
there together the news came Of Gem
eral Burnside's order suppressing the
pul lication of the Chicago Times for dis.
loyal utterances They made this order
the subject of conversation, General
Bane remarking, that while probably
the Times deserved the treatment, yet,
he believed President Lincoln would re.
woke the order.
"Oh, no, replied General Dodge,
Lincoln will never do that.
~Yes, he will, retorted General Bane;
she will never interfere with the free
dom of the press nor allow it to be done.
~Pll bet you bottle of Green Seal
that Lincoln will never revoke Burn
sides order, said Dodge.
Done" said Bane, and the twain
shook hands upon the wager
They separated in a day or two not to
see each other again for long, long years.
But, as General Bane had predicted,
President Lincoln revoked the order OF
General Burnside within a few days
As soon as General Do lge learned of
this, he caused bottle of Green Seal to
be forwarded to General Bane, which
the latter du'y received, and which,
strange to say, he has kept carefully
ever since, determined that it should
never be opened until some day when
both might together enjoy the sparkling
wine.
All through the war, wherever the
army went, Bane carried this bottle.
At the close of the struggle he took it TO
his home in Quincy. Ill Later, when
he was appointed register OF the land
offie at Salt Lake, he took this bottle
along with the family lares and penates
to the Mormon capital. Several years
it remained there, and was finally
brought to this city, where it has been
sacrediy preserved until now, awaiting
the arrival of the time when the two
should meet TO quaff its bubbling con-
tents and revive in the social reunion
the "reminiscences of 1863
General Dodge was recently in Wash
ington, and met General Bane at VIII
