One of our small sins is our small
iealousy of each other. 1t is wrong to
ssy that women cannot be friends TO-


psther; we can-true, firm, enduring
friends; but / doubt if any Young wo.


mans friendship ever existed free from
jealousy. If we are not jealous about


men we are about women, and guard
our rights against division with the


vigilance of q house dog guarding his
domain. No man can understand the


unrestiDg pettiness OF jealousy that e1-
lists between woman friends; no man
knows iE for his own part, and no man


would submit to it from his friend. But


we accept it patiently, knowing where
the shoe pinehes from the shape of Our
own feet. As wives and lovers we are
perhaps the most exclusive and the
most Jealous women in the world
There is scarcely q wife in England who
wOald allow her husband to admire
any other woman, to make of any other
friend. or to show pleasure in her socie-
ty. There would be pouting, or tears,
or tantrums, according to individual
disposition, and the whole harmony OF
the household would be swept by the
board; the practical upshot of which is
that men make friends outside their
hemes, unknown to their respective
Junos, and that very often the simple
fact of secrecy changes the complexion
of the whole affair, and what would
have been only friendship, if it could
have been frankly acknowledged, be-
comes an intrigue instead.

1t is little hard for the uninitiated
to understand the statGs of General
SchoAeld under the new dispensation.
He has been appointed and confirmed
Secretary of War, and he has also been
appointed and confirmed Major Gen
eral in the regular army. Now it is
easy to see how man may be Major
General in the army and an. acting Sec
retary Of War. Indeed, General Grant,
himself, held such a double position.
He was detailed from the army to act as
Secretary of War. But it is contrary
to all precedent that any man should
hold actually two distinct Government
offices at the same time. If General
Grant could not be, at once, General of
the army and President of the United
States, we fail to see how Schofield can
be at once Secretary of War and Major
General in the army.

This is mild winter, and yet our
fsmous Pacific Railroad IS so blocked
up with snow that in some parts trains
cannot run, and by our kilograms from

THE WHOLE STORY IN NUTSHELL.


The office of the stomach is to convert the
food into cream.like semi.fuid, called CHYME.
This is effected partly by the action Of solvent,
called the gastric juice, which excludes from the
coating of the stomach, and partly by a mechan.
ical movement of that organ which churnS, as it
were the dissolving aliment. The CHYME passes
from the stomach into the duodelum, or en-.
trance TO the bowels, whore 1t is subjected to
the action of the bile and the nutritious portion
OF it converted into fluid called Chyls, which
eventually becomes blood.


Now, it is evident that if the great solvent,
the gastric juice, is not produced in sufficient
quantity, or If the mechanical action Of the
stomach is not sufficiently brisk, the rSt process
Of digestion will be but mperfectly performed
1t is also clear that if the liver, which plays
such an important part in changing the nOur.
ishtng portion OF the chyme into the material Of
the blood, is cOngested, or in any unnatural
condition, the second process will not be thor
sushly accomplished The result of the tiro
failures is dyspepsia complicated with biiOsHsss.


The mode in which H0STETTERS BIT.
TIERS operate in such cases is this they invig.
crate the cellular membrane of the stomach,
which evolves the gastric Juice, thereby insur.
ing an ample suiliCiency of the fluid to complete.
ly dissolve the food. They also act upon the
nerves of the stomach, causing an aGcelsration
of the mechanical movement necessary TO re.
duce the food to a homogeneous mass. They
also act specifically upon the liver, strengthen.
ing it and 50 enabling it TO produce an ample
and regular supply Of bile for the purpose Of
converting ths nutritious particles of the Chyns
into Chyle, and promote the passage through
the bowels of the useless debris.


In this way, H0STETTER'S BITTER'S cure

1t is evident that the Senate ''cannot
stand the pressure" from the ofiioe-seek-
ers who are desirous to obtain positions
under General Grant. The President
will not do anything until the tenure
of Office law is repealed, and hence all
the expeetants of place are uaing every
means in their power to fulfill his wish
es in that respect. They are crowding
the Senate to do it. 1t is proposed by
Senator Williams, of Oregon, to suspend
the act for four years, or until the 4th Of
March, 1873, when it seems to be pre-
sumsd that we shall have q Democratic
President at the White House, whom
the Senate may desire to restrain. When
such. an idea as. this is advised by a
leading Senator-such Q discrimination
for ono President and against another,
in matter of general legislation-we
can torn very good idea of the degra-
dation of our politics.

A GREAT WRoNo.-The bill pro-
viding for a special term of the Dis.
trict Court for Walla Walla county,
haspassed both Houses of the Legisla,
ture, and having received the sigma
ture Of the Governor, is now a law.
The Court will open on the first Mon>
day, in January, and is limited to a
session Of three weeks. Apart from
the Inconvenience of holding term
of Court in the dead of winter, at a
time when farmers more than any
other are required to be at home,
this special term will impose an addi-
Fional tax upon the county the aggre'
gate of which will not be a penny
less than $4,000. For years we have
been struggling to get the county out
of debt, but just at time when we
begin to see daylight ahead, here
comes the Legislature with an enact
ment that postpones the extinguish'
ment of the debt for at least another
year, and imposes an additional bur,
den upon the shoulders of tax pay
ers. What makes this action worse
is the fact that not a single request
had gone from the people of the First
Judicial District asking that spec
ial term be held. Without prompt
ing from the people, and in defiance
of their wishes, the law has been en-
acted, and all that remains for the
taxpayers is to foot the bill. The

DIVISION OF THE CoUNTY.-A highly
respectable citizen, living on the Tou'

the settlers living in that part OF the
county favor the division. He says that
the whole plan originated with Ander>
SOD Cox, who has been working at it for
months, and that its purpose is to SO.
cure political power. Cox calculates
that he can control the new county,
and with the influence thus obtained
he will be able TO secure the appoints
ment Of Governor; or, better still, a
Congressional nomination. Even the
radicals oppose the measure, but are de-
TERED from a free expression of opinion
by fear they have of Cox's dictation.
The great objection to the division is on
the score Of expense, and the fact that
there is no present necessity for the
separation. Ar present our taxes foot
up sixteen mills on the dollar for coun-
ty purposes, and with the proposed di.
vision they are most likely to double
up. The part that is cut off will have
TO bear the expense of erecting a new
court house and Jail, aud that which
remains will have to bear the whole
burden OF the present county lndebt>
edness, and also to meet current ex-
penses, which will not be materially re.
duced BY the creation of the new
county. Instead of sixteen mills on
the dollar for county purposes, we shall
have q tax Of twenty-five or thirty.
Against a measure of this kind good
men Of all parties can unite, and by
concert Of action defeat Cox and his sat
elites in their nefarious purpose.
