Decrepitude is the natural accompaniment of old age but it may be ameliorated, and the Period Of entire helplessness long postponed by the ju- dicious use of healthful stimulant Physicians fully aware Of this fact, usually recommend mod crate stimulation when the strength and vigor of maturity have been suspended by the feebleness and prostration which the inevitable results of declining years. Port wine, gin, brandy and other liquors are often prescribed by medical men for aged persons, but the impulse which fermented and distilled liquors give to the circulation, and the energy they seem to impart, transitory, unless the alcoholic principle is modified and qualified by the presence of medicinal tonics and iuvigorants. OF all the combinations of dilusiye stimuli with the Juices of herbs roots and barks that have been administered to the aged and infirm, with the view of sustaining their waning strength, cheering their dropping spirits and relieving the aches and pains to which they are subjected, none has been found so eficacious, so agreeable and so permanent in its effects as HOstetter's Stomach Bitters The difference between the effect of the Bittars and that of a mere eXcitant however pure, is the same as between the effect of sudden and momentary application of excessive force to given purpose, and the result of steady, continuous application of exactly the requisite amount of force to the same end.

The relative beauty of the sexes is said to differ considerably in different coun- tries. French travellers in England have reported that, as rule, Englishmen are better-looking specimens Of the human race divine than English women. To this opinion our gallantry forbids us to defer. We, however, will state, also that these impartial French observers have said that beautiful English girl is the most lovely and lovable creature among created beings. In this opinion we at once and unreservedly express our entire concurrence. But of the relations be- tween male and female beauty in other countries we can speak more freely. I'm der the sunny skies Of Italy fine figures are much more common among the male than among the female sex. In Northern Italy this is less remarkable. In France this state of things is reversed. There, handsome women are, to handsome men, as one to six or eight. Among the SHOWS and frosts of Russia, too, both in regard to feature and figure, the men are hand somer than the women. Why is this2 Is it not because in judging of female hAau- ty our canons of criticism ash q 81 strict than those we apply b ~ lords creatiOnl

The object of the Broad street bear is supposed to be TO ge up the price for the purpose OF selling more, as well as TO adversely affect the bull circulation on the stock exchange and increase activity in money. The OBJ ject of the German is TO unload their long gold. 1t is stated that the Canada banks, which have great bulk Of floating gold, have refused to enter into the scheme, but they will probably accept higher rates fol- the use of gold in the loan market.

AAo LH-udSluS eulIOF OF the 1OuiSNHlS Courier Journal, thoroughly versed in Ten nessee politics and posted as to our politi clans, thus pictures the personnel of the Convention He says: The Constitutional Convention thus pro vided for assembled in Nashville on Mon day, and two days of its proceedings. en- bracing among other things list of the members and report of the organization, lie before us.

Those we have named would have been elected had they consented to become candidates for election; so, their omission is their own private con- cern, and not due to the neglect or lack of discernment in the people.
