Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed in
the spring, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of tonic and altera-

has often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers, No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the sys-
TEN from the malarial poison. Headache,

lest satisfaction over the situation.
He was asked, what, in his opinion,
would be the effect of the efforts now
being made by Mr.. Whitney, Senators

cratic leaders to stem the free silver
tide setting in towards Chicago. II
should not be surprised If the result
were modified declaration on the

Now, may ask, why not run Park
Agpew of Alexandria?
Notwithstanding his ideas about put
ting white Republicans to the front, ]
am sure the colored people would 10y
ally support him if he were nominated

and he will be elected.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNIoN.-The
local committees in charge of the ar.
rangements for the reunion of the Con,
federate veterans in Richmond are nc
little puzzled with reference to how the
city can care for all the people who are
going there. 1t is quite evident that
the crowd is going to be larger than
anticipated. The hotels and board.
ing houses will provide food and lodg-
ing for possibly 10000. There will be
about 5000 veterans with the camps
and the most of them will be housed
and fed st the Exposition grounds.
The reunion will last three days and it
looks as if there might be thousands Of
strangers who will find trouble in Be-
curing quarters. Nearly all of the no

already been engaged. 1t is thought
that there will be 10000 strangers there
on July and.
