Phlebotomy. When Dr. Bangrado found his
patients weak he gave them water gruel. When
they got weaker he bled them, and dosed them
with calomel and jalap. GU Bias tells us they
almost Invariably died. A good many people
are killed that way yet. Tbe world In general,
however, has found out that. In cases of debility
and premature decay, Hostetteb's Stomach
Bittebs Is the true life-sustaining cordial. This
tonio is a powerful and perfectly harmless
restorative. But it does more tban Invigorate.
It regulates and purines. While It builds up the
strength and Infuses Vitality Into the blood, it
brings all the secretions Into harmony with the
laws of health. The feebler sex find It Invalu
able in tbe various physical difficulties to which
their organization renders them subjeot. In all
hysterical and bypoohondrlcal cases its effeot is
magical. Tbe infirmities of age are alleviated
by Its use; and where the circulation Is torpid,
and there is a tendency to paralysis, IIostet-
tek's Bitters are -recommended as a means of
relnvigoratlng the system and prolonging life.
At this season of the year particularly, when
midsummer's -scorching heat does so rnuou
towards reduolng tbe vital energies of the body,
this inestimable tonic and stomacblo produces
a wonderful effect. By it the strength is in
creased, the appetite preserved, and firmness
and elasticity given to the system.

OBITUARY.
Ex-Governor John A. King, of New York.
The Hon. John A. King, who had more than
half a century been prominent In publlolife,
and one of our most distinguished citizens,
honored by high and responsible trusts in the
counolls of the State and tbe nation, died at
half-past3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at his
home In Jamaica, L. I., at the advanced age of
eighty years. On the Fourth of July last ex-
Governor King yielded to the solicitations of
friends, and attended the celebration of the
national holiday by a literary association In
Jamaica. He appeared much interested In tbe
proceedings, and was induced, towards their
close, to address tbe company. This he did
with deep feeling, urging the you ng men whom
he addrebsed to be prepared to till those places
of ti net and responsibility lo which they must
inevitably in a short time be called. "Life,"
he said, " is all before you, but old men like me
are passing away." Before concluding the re
marks which be had intended, be was pros
trated by a stroke of paralysis. lie was at once
removed unconscious to bis home. He had
spoken bis last words in public, and never again
rose from the bed upon whloh they laid him.
Tbe news ot bis illness occasioned great con
cern, and tbe worst fears of his friends were
but too soon realized. Rest, and tbe afieotlonate
attention of friends, restored him to conscious
ness, and be remained sensible to the hour of
his death ; but tbe leebieness ot old age was
upon mm. anu Binning, until yesterday after
noon, without an apparent pang or the utter
ance of the least complaint, he gently passed
away. It was the first and only attack of
sickness he had ever exnerlenced, having
through his whole long and active life enjoyed
a remarkable Immunity from physical ail
ments. John A. .King was tbe; son of the
Hon. Ruius King, and was born in the city ot
New York, In February, 1788. He was the eldest
of four sons Charles, born In 1789; James O.,
born In 1791, died low; Edward, born 1795, died
1831. John A. was longer and more active iu
political life than any of his brothers. During
bis youth he accompanied his futher, who was
Minister to the Court of St. James, to England.
While in England he attended sohool at Har
row, and bis schoolmates were ' his brother
Charles. Lord Byron, Bir Robert Peel, and
others wbo became men of eminence. In 1812,
having been mustered Into the servloe of the
United Btates, he served as Lieutenant of a
troop of horse, and continued In the servloe
until tbe close of the war. He represented
Queens county six times in the Assembly, viz.,
1819, 1820, 1821, 1832, 1838. and 1840. In 1825 he was
Secretary of Legation to Great Britain under
his father. He was a leading member of the
House of Representatives in the Thirty-first
Congress, and was a member of Congress when
the Fugitive Hlave bill was passed a measure
which he firmly opposed, lie was a delegate
to tbe fumous National Republican Conven
tion held nt Philadelphia, during the sum
mer of 1856. In September, 18od, the State
Republican Convention, held at Syracuse,
nominated him as its candidate for the Gov
ernorship of the Empire State, and lie was
elected by 204,400 votes, aaalnst lUS.uld for Parker
(Democrat), and 13 37 for Brooks (Know No
thing). The Governor was also a member or
the Convention which nominated Colonel Fre
mont for the Presidency. He entered upon the
discharge f bis duties as Governor of the Stale
of New York, January 1, 1867. At the end of bis
term he returned to his home In tbe village ot
Jamaica, and there he dwelt until his death.
His occupation was tjiat of a farmer, aud he
devoted mueh of his leisure time lo the study of
agriculture as a sciencw, and he took deep In
terest In the Queens County Agricultural
Booiety, and, as President of the New York
State Agricultural Booiety, evinoed thorough
acquaintance with the science of farming and
be was always a favorite with tbe bone and
sinew of Queens county, and his loss will be
severely felt. His was a temperate and well
regulated life. His physical and intellectual
powers were remarkably preserved, and he pos
sessed all the vigor of manhood almost to tne
day ol his deulb.
The funeral services of the '.ate ex-Governor
King will take place on Wednesday, the 10t h
lust., from his late residence, al 8 o'olook P. M.
The church bells were tolled, and the fla-s
were displayed at half-mast at Jamaica, yes

Gensral Ramon Castllta.
General Castllla, whose deatn was reoently
announced In our paper, was one of the most
oelebratcd statesmen of South America. He
was born on the 81st of August, 1797, at Yaya
paca, on the frontier of Bolivia. When the war
of Independence broke out Castllla was a oap
tain in tbe Spanish army. He at onee joined
his countrymen, and greatlydistlngnlshed him
self under General San Martin In the establish
ment of Peruvian freedom. In 1HB0 he began to
take an active part in the politics or his
country. He fought bravely against Presi
dent Orbegogo, when tbe latter, lu
1834, betrayed his counlry to Santa
Cruz, the President of Bolivia. Still greater
distinctions he won when he raised. In 1814, tbe
standard ot the Constitution against tbo Dicta
tor Vivanoo. In this latter contest he met with
complete success, In consequence of whloh he
was In 184S elected President. The six years of
his administration were the happiest whloh
Peru had yet seen. They passed without an
at tempt at an insurrection, and many impor
tant reforms were carried through. The negroes
received equality of right, the Indians were
freed from oppressive burdens, capital punish
ment was abolished, and freedom of the press
secured. In 1851, Camilla headed an Insurrection
against his successor, Echenlque, and drove
him from power. In 18.S he was re-eleoted
President, and again introduced many Import
ant reforms. In 1861, he nnsuoessfully endea
vored to annex Bolivia. When the Frenoh In
vaded Mexico, Castllla denounced them in a
violent manifesto, and offered to Juarez men
and money. In 1865 Castllla was areested by
President Pezet. as Involved In conspiracy, and
sent into exile. In 1867, he put himself at the
Head or an insurrection against the administra
tion of Governor Prado, and he seemed to have
prospects of entire suoeess, when he suddenly
died in conseauenoe oi loo great laieigue. un
learning tbe news of his death, men of all
parties, the President of the Repuollo Included,
exnressed the greatest erlef at the loss which
tbe Republic bad suffered by bis death. Castllla
is one of the last of tbe representative men who
planned and carried through the independence
oi ouin America.
