The JACOB meeting At the court
House last night was not q very re-
markable success as an expression OF
Democratic seatiment. Frantic efforts
had been made by the small coterie OF
the boiling Governor adherents to
drum up a crowd, and all the usual ap-
pliances were resortei to in order to
attract the curious. The Court House
was well filled, about half the
audience being Republicans and nnch
the greater number OF the other hall
were Democrats who support the regu-
lsrlv nominated ticket but who were
curious to know what could be said In
justification OF the extraordinary course
pursued by the Governor.


The meeting was first addressed by
Governor JACOB, the burden Of whose
complaint was that the delegates to the
Parkersburg Convention were nearly all
10 favor Of Mr.. CAMDEN's nomination.
The only other speech WAS made by
Major NICHOLAS FIrzHCGH, Of Charles
ton. who seemed to think that the Par
kersburg Convention did not represent
The Democratic sentiment OF the State
and that Governor JACOB is the only
man now before the people Of the State
who represents Democratic principles
and IDEAS

presents TO us Is how he can reconcile

Senator Schurz, in his attempt to fas-
ten upon the President the charge of at
tempted bribery of himse If to support
the San Domingo treaty, stands con-
victed of falsehood, which can be shown
to the satisfaction of every candid mind.
Mr.. Schurz says: If one of us was in
the market it was not l." Let us see
whether Mr.. Schurz was not in the
market. In his speech at st. Louis he
said:


ing, two gentlmen in intimate relations with
the White House came to me, each one separ-
ately, soliciting my support of the project.
They assured me if I would give that
support or abstain from opposition, all the
patronage desired would be at my disposal,
making me- In that respect, one OF the most
influential men In the land. One of these
gentlemen subsequently admitted to me, In
writing. that the offer was made to me with
the consent of the President himself"


Mr.. Schurz says that shortly after,
having suffered" many provocations," he
sought from one of the gentlemen
alluded to written confirmation of the
Presidents alleged attempt to bribe HIM,
and received the following:

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and
the brain are too intimately allied for the
one to suffer without the other, so that
dyspepsia and dependency are insepa-
rable. 1t may be added, too, that irrita-
tion of the stomach is almost invariably
accompanied by irritation of the temper.


The invigorating and tranquilizing op-
GRAFTON of Hostetter's Bitters is most pow
erfully developed in cases of indigestion.
The first effect of this agreeable tonic is
comforting and encouraging. A mild glow
pervades the system, the chronic uneasi-
ness in the region Of the stomach is less
ened, and the nervous restlessness which
characterizes the disease is abated. This
improvement is not transient. 1t is not
succeeded by the return of the old symp-
toms with superadded force, as is always
the case when unmedicated stimulants
are given for the complaint. Each dose
seems to impart permanent accession
of heaIthfu. invigoration. But this is not
all. The aperient and anti-bilious pro-
perties of the preparation are scarcely
secondary in importance to its tonic vir-
tues. If there is an overflow of bile, the
secretion is soon brought within proper
limits, and if the hilary organ is inert
and torpid it is toned and regulated.
The effect upon the discharging organs is
equally salutary, and in cases Of consti-
patton the cathartic action is just sutfi-
cien to produce the desired result gradu
ally and without pain. The Bitters also
promote healthy evaporation from the
surface, which is particularly desirable
at this season when sudden spells of raw,
unpleasant weather are apt to check the
natural perspiration and produce conges-
ton of the liver, coughs and colds. The
best safeguard d9dtnst all diseases is
bodily UfgOr, and this the great Vegeta-
BILE Restorative especially promotes.

A WORD TO GIRLs.-The woman
who is Indifferent TO her looks is no
true woman. God meant woman TO
be attractive, to look well, to please,
and it is one of her duties to carry
out this intention of her Maker. But
that dress is to do all, is more than
we can be brought to believe. just
because we do love TO see girls look
well, as well as to live TO some pur-
pose, we would urge upon them such
course of reading and study as will
confer such as no Modiste can supply.

Extensive sales Of stock and real estate
have taken place iu this county in the last
few weeks. The first that has come to our
knowledge is th At of Brown & Curtis to
Phillips, Chand er & Champlin, land and
sheep, the price paid $4,000. This prop
erty was bo GIT by h. first named gentle
men from Mr. Champln about two years
ago for $4,000. We are not informed as
to the amount of land or the number of
sheep embraced in the sale, but it is esti
mated that the spring clip of wool will
amount to $4,000. The next large tran.
saction was the purchase of the range and
flock ofsheep owned by the Goooh Brothers,
by Brown 4 Curtis, for the same sum they
received from Phillips, Chandler & Champ
lin. This last sale embraces one of the
most extensive ranges in the State together
with about 10000 head Of sheep. This is
said to be one of the best bargains ever
made by purchasers in this county. The
spring clip of wool will nearly pay the pur.
chase money. We also learn that W. B..
Parker has just purchased lot Of land on
the Reservation, paying therefor the sum
of $4,000. Several other large sales of
land are reported as having taken place
within the past week, but We are unable to
give the parties names or the amounts paid.
All the above mentioned land few years
ago was deemed worthless, and that it would
never be of any value. Wool growing is a
very profitable business, when parties are
we'll prepared to carry it oD, but the coun-
try is getting settled up so fast that per-
