HOSTETTER S STOMACH BITTEKS. Fever and Ague Is rampant In all parts of the country. Quinine, the physicians admit, will not quell the phase of the disease which at present per vades the entire West. It Is well that It Is so, for the remedy (so-called) Is deadlier than the malady. But If quinine U Inefficient In Intermittent fevers, HOB TETTER'S BITTHRS la Irresistible. It would be safe to make contract, under heavy penalties, that any given "Fever-and-Ague District" should be exempted from the disorder for any particular time, provided every inhabitant would take the BITTERS according to dlrectlonn, during the term of the con tract. There lias never been an Instance In which this sterling Invlgorant and anti-febrlle medicine has failed to ward off the complaint, when taken duly as a protection against malaria. Hundreds of physicians have abandoned all the officinal specllics, and now prescribe this harmless vegetable tonic, and nothing else, as a preventive and cure for all the forms of chills ana fever. Vigor is the thing most needful In these oases, as well as In dyspepsia and nervous affec tions, and HOSTETTERB BITTERS are the safest, surest, and most wholesome strengthening prepara tion that human skill has yet concocted. iMPOItTAKT TO BUYERS OF HOSIERY GOODS.

The amounts thus collected were to be sent to B. B. Sherman, of New York, who was endorsed by Messrs. Greeley, Weed, and other prominent men. 8. Riddle, Ksq., then Post master of Allegheny, has shown us a reoeipt from Mr. Sherman for one huud'ed dollars, raised In Allegheny City and forwarded to Mr. Snerman. If other cities responded with equnl liberality, a very considerable sum must have been raided. In view of Mrs. Lincoln's poverty, ic would be interesting to know how much whs forwarded, and what was done with it. Will Mr. Mieinitm inform the public?" We are in receipt of manifold evidences con firmatory of views expressed In an art'ele re lating to Mrs. Lincoln, but we will not willingly protract a painful controversy. It may not, however, be inappropriate to Bay that Mr?. Lincoln received $10,01)0 from one, and $5000 from another contributor 1u this city, ix3i .ro Mr. Lincoln's death, and probably without his knowledge. TnnRiow Wbed. , Greeley on Thvrlow Weed. An eminent and veteran liar addresses him self day after day to the task of telllnar a lis big enough, if possible, to induce tho Tribune to notice him. Here is one out of nearly a dozen of bis latest efforts: "Again, when invited by that 'Medium,' Jewett," Mr, Greeley requested Mr. Lincoln to gend him to Canada, supplicating ft 'Peace' from'Contplrators,' with a bribe ol $100,000,001) for slavery." The iactthat Mr. Greeley requested nothloir of tbe kind, but remonstrated against being sent when Mr. Lincoln's messenger most unexpect edly appeared before him with a direction that be should start on that most unwelcome errand, is happily beyond question. He would glaily have paid two other men's expenses rather than Ms own. if sending those two would have answered the President's requisition. And, so lar from "supplicating" any Rebel for peace, the overtuie came to him from them, as all men do know, save such as choose to ignore tbe mom conspicuous facts, and believe instead an utterly groundless fabrication. y.

LINCOLN AGAIN. - Opening of tho Subscription Book at Brady's An Appeal to be Mad to Ame rlcan Cltlaena of African Daaoant Lift at tha Whlto House Interesting Kami nlscences. The proposition to raise a subscription for Mrs. Lincoln's benefit has received the sanction of that lady, and about Ave hundred letters have been addressed to prominent politicians and colored clergymen, calling upon them for dona' tions. A book has also been opened In Mr. Brady's rooms, on Broadway, where her ward' robe is on exhibition, for the same purpose. Tbe stream ol visitors still continues, although but lew purchases are made. Among those daily to be seen in the establish ment is Mrs. Elizabeth Keckley, a Washington moatste. who was also tbe milliter ot sirs, un coin, when that distressed and Ill-used person was the lady oi the White House. She remarks rather. plausibly that no such outcry is made In France when the Empress ct the French sells her wardrobe, and as Eugenie never wears the same coutt drees twice, and being the acknow ledged leader of the fashions, her cast-off gai nitnts fetch enormous nrices. and on tbe day appointed for the sale extravagant bids are onered, so In reality she rather makes than loses bv these ranid r.hanirea of tAltat. Mrs. Lincoln, however, is under a number of uiKaavantagee in selling ber wararooe, as sno neither was nor is a leader of fashion, and in addition her dresses were hniiirht at a period when gold was 3 60, and everything selling at double its value even In greenbacks. Now, dry goods are worth about a third of what they then cost, ana. in addition tntiiat Win second nana people expect to iret thm far lou nrice. Bhe also remarked that people here had not that reve- rcuw ivr wyaity aua lormer greatness as in rope, tor do they pay particular respect to relict, and a new dress has In their eyes much more value than the old raiment of the widow of a martyred President. Hue said the politicians used to besiege Mrs. Lincoln, and that presents would be sent to her from people whom tho had never seen. 8be was courted for her supposed Influence with the President's wife, and they would even come to her after trying every means in their power to get into the White House. As a last resort they would call on reception days, and Mrs. Lincoln would often be surprised to be asked by a periect stranger, "Mm. President Lincoln, I hope you admired that tat of furs I t ent tou lately." "Ob , was It you sent them f" he would reply, "really I am at a loss to thank ou for your kindness." "Not at all, madam, it was but a slight and worthless token of the deep esteem I have for the talents of one whose in trinsic merit would, irrespective of your present exalied position, make you an ornament in the highest circles of the most civilized society." Thus bespattered with fulsome flattery from a vile politician, who would insidiously ak for a favor, she, after receiving his oreents and believing his flattering, would find it difficult to refuse. This was the case for the first few months; but Mr. Lincoln (to use his own phrase) "shi t down on it," and many scenes, when his wife was goaded on to ask for placo by otflee feekers, took place. The lollowin subscriptions for the relief ol tbe family of Mr. Lincoln were yewrday en tered on the book kept for that purpose at Mr. Brady's rooms: John M, Harrington......... ..850 00 To save National Disgrace 60'00 Thomas 11.

Ball 25 00 An appeal of a more general nature is to be made to the colored people throughout the Union, and it Is estimated that if each would plve but five cents a handsome sum would be realized, amounting probably to $210,000. Tbe following letter from Chicago gives a statement of Mrs. Lincoln's estate, and the amount she has, or ought to have, in. ready money and real estate: "Chicaoo, Oct. 11. Mrs. Lincoln was the owner of a fsshlonable four-story marble front house, bought two years ago at a cost of l 000, which could be sold to-day for b,uuo. This dwelling is said to have been completely furnished In tbe most elegant style, which furniture was sold at auction, realising almost lis full retail value when Mrs, Lincoln discon tinued housekeeping last summer. At tbe same lime she parted with a valuable carriage aud spun of horses, besides the usual appropriate ac cessories of a flist-class equipage, bo that at the beginning of the summer, or rather late In the spring, Mrs. Lincoln must have hid at least Jiu.oof in ready money Hhe spent the summer ver quietly and economically at i.ctii, situated a li w miles from Lake Michigan. It was vorf generally puhl shed that Mr. Lincoln had accumulated fg5,0ix), which wure lnvrs'ed loUovernment bo.i'l.i.on depo sit in Washington.
