Vinegar Bitters la not a vUe fancy drink, mode of poor rum, whiskey, proof spirits and refuse liquors, doctored, spiced and sweetened toplooso the taste, called M Tonics,” "Appetizers,” “Re storers,” Ac., that lead tho tippler on to drunk enness and ruin, but aro n true Medicine, made from the native roots and herbs of California, free from all alcoholic stimulants. They are tho Great Blood Farther and Life-giving Principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of tho sys tem, carrying ofl.'all poisonous matter and re storing tho blood to alieolthy condltlon.enrioh ibg it, refreshing and Invigorating both mind and body. They are easy of administration, prompt in their action, certain In their results, safe and reliable in all forms of disease. No person can take those bitters according to directions and remain long unwell, provided their bones aro not destroyed by mineral poi son or other means, and tho vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. _ . , Dyspepsia or Indigestion, headache. Pain In tho Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of tho Chest, dizziness, soar eructations of the stomach, bat aste In tho mouth, blllious attacks, palpitation of tho heart, Inflammation of tho lungs, pains in tho reglbns of tho kidneys, and a hundred other palnlul symptoms, aro tho ollspriugs of dyspepsia. In these complaints it has no equal and one bottle will prove a better guarantee o its merits than a lengthy advertisement. T?nr female cuuipimnuj, in young or om, iimr* lied or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or tho turn of life, these Tonlo Bitters display so decided an influence, that a marked improve ment is soon perceptible. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism and gout,dyspepsia or Indigestion, billions, re mittent and Intermittent fevers, diseases of tho blood, liver, kidneys and bladder, these bitters have been most successful. Such diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, which la generally produced by derangement of tho digestive or gans They arc a gentle purgative ns well as a Tonlo, possessing also tho peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving congestion or In flammation of tho liver and visceral organs, and . ln For akindtaeases, ernptlons, tetter, salt-rheum, blotches, spots, pimples, pustules, boils, carbun cles, ring-worms, scald-head, sore py ea «. e fy las. itch, scurfs, discolorations of tho skin, hu mors and diseases of the skin, of whatever name or nature, aro literally dug np and . enr rled out of tho system in a short time by the use of ;these Bitters. One bottle in fiuch cases will convince tho most incredulous of their cu r<Cleanso the vitiated blood whenever you find Its Impurities bursting through the skin la pimples, eruptions or sores; ejeanseitwheu yo*- And It obstructed and sluggish in tho veins cloanso -it when it is foul; your feelings will i tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and tho ealth of the system will follow. Grateful thousands proclaim Vinegar Bit ters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained tho sinking system. . Pin. tape and other worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are eflectuolly destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist: There Is scarcely an individual upon tho face of tho earth whoso body la ox ©mptfrom tho presence of worms. It is not up on tho healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living mobsters ot dlsen.ee. No system of medicine, no vermifu ges no anlhelmlnltlcs, will free tho system from worms like these Bitters. Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged In paints and minerals, such ns plumbers, type setters. gold-beaters and miners, as they ad vance in life, will be subject to paralysis of the bowels. To guard against this take a dose of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters once or twice a week, as a-proventlvo. , Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys ol our great rivers throughout tho United States, espe cially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland-Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos. Bio .Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the summer and au tumn, and remarkably so daring seasons of un usual heat and dryness, aro invariably accom panied by extensive derangements of the stom ach and liver, and other abdominal viscera.— There aro always more or less obstructions or the liver, a weakness and irritable state of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being gcloged up wsth vitiated accumulations. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a power ful Influence upon these various organs, is es sentially nocasary. There Is no cathartic for. the purpose equal to Dr, J. Walker s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark coored viscid matter with which the bowels aro loaded, at tho same lime stimulating the se cretions of tho liver. generally restoring 1 Wiisrof’sSSs? OTit VhW,pa«y cora, •Erysipelas, Swelled neck, Goiter. Scrofu lous inflammations, indolent Inflammations, mercurial affections, old sores, eruptions of the Sin sore eyes, etc., etc. In these; aa in all other constitutional diseases, Walker s Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bitters are on all these cases in a similar manner, By pur£ fvlug the blood they remove the cause, and by resolving away the effects-pf the inflammation, (tho tubercular deposits) itto afTeoted oelvo health, and a permanent cure is eflected. The properties of Dr. Walker’s ters are aperient, diaphoretic and carminative, nutritious, laxftlive, Slnretio, sedntlvo, counter irritant, sudorific, alterative and antl-bUlous. Tho aperient and mild laxative properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are Ike beat safe guard in all coses of eruptions and . lovers, their balsamic, healing and soothing jToportlea protect tho humors of the fauces. Uheir sedative properties allay pnln In the ner vous system, stomach and bowels, either ftom inflammation, wind, colic, cramps, etc. Their counter-irritant Influence extends throughout the system. Their diuretic properties act on the kiduej’S, correcting and regulating the flow of urine. Their auti-blllous properties stimulate tho liver. In tho secretion of bile, and Its dis charges through tho bliary ducts, and are su perior to all remedial agents, lor tho cure of bilious fever, /over and ague. etc. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold ol a system thus forearued. Tho liver, tho stomach, tho bowels, tho kidneys, and tho nerves aro rendered disease-proof by tms great invigorant. DIRECTIONS,—Take of tbo Bitters on going to bed at night from a half to one and ono-bali wine-glasshh. Eat good nourishing food, such as boor-steak, mutton-chop, venison, roast-beef, and vegetables, and take out-door exorcise. They are composed of purely vegetable ingie dlonts, and-contain no spirit. , rnmM i T^ J. WALKER, Proprietor; K. H. MCDONALD & CO.. Druggists and, Qen’l Agts., San Iranclsco and Now York. , • 1 .

SUMNER ON BLAINE. letter from the Massaolmsetts Senator— A Scathing Document, Washington, Aug- s.— Senator Sum ner thus replies to Speaker Blaine: Washington, Aug. s .—Dear Sir ;—l have eeeu the letter addressed to me by you through the public prints, and I.no tice especially that, while animadverting upon my support of Horace Greeley, you say not a word In vindication of that compound of pretensions „ known as “ Qrantism'’ in contradistinction to.Be publicanism, which you would' install anew In the government. You are greatly concerned about the company I hoop. To quiet your solicitude, I beg ' leave to say that In joining the Republi cans who brought forward an original abolitionist, I find myself with so many others devoted to I have served always that I had pot missed you until you hastened to report your absence; nor had I taken account of the "Southern secessionists,” who, as you aver, are now co-operating with me In support of this original abolitionist, except to rejoice that If among former associates some, like yourself, hesitate, their places are supplied from an unexpected quarter. You entirely misunderstood me when, you Introduce an incident of the past, and build it on an argument why X should not support Horace Greeley. What has President Brooks to do with the Presidential election? Hover While a sufferer did anybody hear me speak of him in unkindness, ,and now, after a lapse of more than half a genera tion, I will not unite with you in drag ttlnc niui from the erravn where ho rlobub to aggravate the passions of a political conflict and arrest the longing for con cord. And here Is the essential differ ence between you and me at this junct ure: I seize the opportunity to make the equal rights secure through peace and* reconciliation', but this infinite boon you would postpone. (Seven years have passed since we laid down, our arms, but unhappily during all this period there has been a hostile spirit toward each other, while the rights of colored citizens have been in perpetual question,* Seven years mark a natural period, of human life. Should not the spirit bo changed with the body? Can we not, after seven years, commence a new life, especially when those once our foes repeat the saying: “Thy peo ple shall ho my people, and thy God my God." I declare my preference for an original abolitionist as President, and you aeok to create a diversion by crying out that Democrats will support him. To which I reply, so much tho better. Their sup port ia the assurance that the cause he has so constantly guarded, whether of equal rights or reconciliation, is accepted by the Democrats, and this is pledge of a true Union beyond anything in our history.' It isa victory of ideas, without which all other victories must fall. To intensify your allegation, you in sist that I am ranged with Jefferson Davis and Eobert Toombs. But, pardon me, nobody knows how the former will vote, while Eobert Toombs is boisterous against Horace Greeley, and with him are Stevens, Wise and Moaby. This is very poor, and I mention it only to ex hibit the character of your attempt. In the same spirit you seek to avoid the real issue by holding up tho possibili ty of what you call a Democratic admin istration ; and you have the courage to assert, as within my knowledge, that by the election of Greeley Congress is hand ed over.to the control of the party who have positively denied the rights of the black man. You say that I know this, Mr. Speak er. T know' no such Iking, and you should be sufficiently thoughtful not to assert It. Xam entirely satisfied that a canvass like the present, where the prin ciples declared at Cincinnati are not on ly accepted ou side, but on the other, must result iu a larger number of Con gressional representatives sincerely de voted to the rights of the colored citizen than ever before. The Democrats will be pledged as never before to the ruling principle that “ all men are equal before the law,” and also to the three constitu tional amendments, with the clause in each empowering Congress to enforce the same by appropriate legislation. But, besides Democrats, there will be Liberal Republicans pledged likewise, and also your peculiar associates, who I trust will not betray the cause. Senators and representatives calling themselves Republicans, have been lat terly la a largo majority In both houses, but the final measure of civil rights, to which you refer, though urged by me al most dally, has failed as a law, less I fear from Democratic opposition than from Republican lukewnrduess and want of support in the President. The great Issue which the people are called to decide in November is ou the President, and nobody knows bettor than yourself that the House of'Representa tives chosen at the same time will natur ally. harmonize With him. So It has been iu our history. Now, harmony with Horace Greeley Involves what I moat desire. With such a President Congress will bo changed for the first time since the war. The equal rights of all will have a declared representative at the head of the government, whose presence there will be of higher significance than that of any victor, in war, being not only tes timony, but a constant motive power in this great cause. Opposition, whether open hostility or mere subtle treachery, will yield to the steady influence of such a representa tive. Therefore, in looking to the Presi dent, I look also to Congress, whidh will take its character in largo ipeaaure from him. In choosing Horace Greeley we do the best we can for the whole government, not only in the executive but in the leg islative branch, while we decline to sup port nepotism, repayment of personal gifts by official patronage, seizure of the war powers, indignity to the black re public, also tho serious incapacity exhi bited by the President and the rings by which he governs, none of which you defend. , . - v „„ w«u mat rings are already condemned by the American people. For myself I say plainly and without hesi tation that I prefer Horace Greeley with any Congress possible, on tho Cincinnati platform, to President Giant with, his nepotism and his rings,- A vote, for him involves the support of all his preten sions, with prolonged power in, all the rings. There must be another influence and another example. The administration in all its parts is improved by-the President. Let his soul be enlarged with the sentiment of jus tice, quickened by industry, and not on ly the. two Houses of Congress, but the whole country, will feel the irresistible .authority overspreading, penetrating, permeating everywhere. Therefore in proportion 1 as you are earnest for the rights of tho colored citizens, and place them above all partisan triumph, you will be glad to support the candidate whose .heart always throbbed for, hu manity. The country needs such a motive pow er in the White House. It needs a gen erous fountain there. In. one word it needs somebody different from the pres ent incumbent, and nobody knows this better than Speaker Blaine. The personal Imputation you make upon me’l repel with the Indignation of an honest man. I was a faithful suppor ter of the President until somewhat, tar dily awakened by hia painful conduct on the island of San Dbmlngo, involving the seizure of the war power In violation of the constitution, and indignity to the black republic in violation- of interna tional law, and when I remonstrated against these intolerable outrages I was seii upon by those acting in his behalf. Such is the origin of my opposition. I could not have done less without fail- ing in that duty which is with me the rule of my life, nor can I doubt that when partisan sentiments are less active vnn will regret tho wrong you have done me. Meanwhile, I appeal confidently to the candid judgment or those who, amidst all pr esent differences of opinion, unite in the great objects far above par ty or President, to which my life is de voted. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Charles Sdmner. To the Hon. James G. Blaine. ME. GEEELET ON OIVIL SEEVIOE EE- POEM. Mr. Greeley, in reply to Mr. Carl Schurz, writes his views on Civil Ser vice Eeform, as follows: New York, July Bth, 1872. My Dear Sir; Yours of the 2Gth ult. only reached me three days hgo. Ire spond aS promptly as I may. I pass oyer the allusion, to my political asso ciates, barely remembering that an im putation so vague can never be specifi cally repelled. Charity Is a virtue rarely exemplified in politics; and moat men live and die. in thp undoubt ing conviction that their opponents are the greatest scoundrels unhung. X trust that my age and your experience have lifted us above such prejudices, enabling us to realize that the many sincerely desire the greatest public good, even when most mistaken in their choice of means. I know who my friends are better than my tradu •cers do, and fear no scrutiny as to the integrity or patriotism of any to whom I give my confidence. And, should any such ever seek to swerve me from the path of duty, they would cease to be regarded by mo as friends. The problem of Civil Service Reform is ren dered difficult by a misalliance between the Executive and Legislative branch es of our Federal Government. Those Members of Congress who favor the Administration habitually claim and are accorded a virtual monopoly of the Federal offices in their respective States or districts, dictating appointments and removals as interest or caprice may suggest. The President appoints at their bidding; they legislate in subser viency ,to his will, often in opposition to their own convictions. Unless all history is unmeaning, this confusion of Executive with Legislative responsi bilities and functions could not fail to distemper and corrupt the body politic. I hold the eligibility of our Presidents to rcelectlon the main source' of this corruption. A President should be above the hope of future favor, the fear of alienating, powerful, ambitious par tisans. He should be the official chief, not of a party, but of the republic. He should dread nothing but the accusing voice of history and the inexorable judgment of God. He should fully ree alize and never forget that Congress In its own sphere is paramount and no wise amenable to his supervision, and that the heartiest good will to his ad ministration is perfectly compatible with the most pointed dissent from his inculcations on the very gravest ques tion in or Political Economy. “It is the first step that costs.” Lot it be settled that a President la not to bo re elected while in office, and Civil Ser vice Reform Is no longer difficult. He will need no organs, no subsidized de fenders. He will naturally select his chief counsellors from among the ablest and wisest of his fellow citizens, regard less alike of the “shrieks of locality” ; and the suggestions of a selfish policy. Ho will have no interest to conciliate, YOL. 59/-HO. 10 no chief of a powerful clan to attach to hia personal fortunes. Ho will be im pelled to appoint, as none will deny that ho should appoint, men of ripe ex perience in business and eminent mer-, cantile capacity to collect, keep, and disburse the Revenue, instead of dex trous manipulators of primary meet ings and skillful traffleera in delegates to nominating conventions; No longer an aspirant to place, the President will naturally aim to merit the approbation of the People, but especially of theem inently wise and good. As to the ma chinery of Boards of Examiners, etc., whereby the details of Civil Service Reform are to he matured and perfect ed, I defer to the judgment of a Con gress unperverted by the adulterous commerce In legislation and appoint ments which I have already exposed and rejirehended. Up to this time, our experience of the doings of Boards in this direction bus not been encouraging; and this, X am confident, is not the fjinlf- nf Hi A fronMAmmi-whn.lin.VA.ir.md, to serve the public as Commissioners. In so far as they may have failed, the cause of their ill success must be ex trinsic. Had they been accorded a fair er field, I am sura they would have wrought a better ■ purpose. A thinker has observed that the spirit in which we work is the chief matter; and wo can never achieve Civil Service Reform until the interests which demand shall be more potent in our public counsels than those which resist even while seeming to favor it. That this consum mation is not distant, I fervently trust; meantime thanking you for your ear nest and effective labors to this end, X remain yours,- Horace Greeley. IllWtaeomu LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS, Did you over ride, on a locomotive ? Don’t you know that It Is terrible^,the ■ racket, roar, rush, dust. It seems ev ery moment as if the iron horse would leap tho track. You .never make a curve but what you think the locomo tive will keep straight oh into tho ditch. What must bo the thoughts of the man who knows and realizes that hundreds of lives depend oh his steady nerve and watchful vision? that he is the sole guardian of tlioir comfort and safety? that ono man is to carry that train safe through, or leave it heaped up for the flames in tho wayside ditch ? And when do the people speak of tho engineer, talk of him, handle his name in the public prints?’ Is it when he has landed his passengers safely at the endqf their journey? ,1s it when ho has been compelled. to maintain his watch for days , and nights together Without sleep ?, No, it is when, despite human vigilance, that unusually clear tnaluj yields tu uliluio, lUt » mumoat and is benumbed from overstretch, when those eyes have weight hung to to their lids that would close them down for a moment, that an accident happens, and then great storms .of in dignation sweep over tho country about the carelessness of the engineer, and he la a doomed man. You never praise hltm or the five, ten, fifteen years that ho has run safely, carrying thousands —you only swoop down on him when he shall have failed for once. And you hear men and papers talk of careless engineers, and that they grd\v reckless and daring. Is it not so? They carry their life in their hand. No danger but'that must pass them. Can a man bo careless when his own life will nearly always be sacrificed, and lie knows that it will, and has hundreds of precedents to ever float before his vis ion. They may do daring things. It ifj required of them. They must be prompt to decide, daring to encounter bravo to meet danger at any point, It is nerve that makes a good engineer nerve to do what should bo done when death is looking into his open eyes from an opoaswitch, a washed culvert, or a spread track. . And how get to lovo the fiery stood that has so long obeyed their master hand. No horseman has . such care that his pacer may appear well; no one prouder that the painter shall rp new old scrolls and letters with youth and beauty again. No steed like the one he drives, not an engine on the road so fast in speed, so powerful of pull, so quick the guiding hand. The “cab,” is his home. Ho may have a qmet cottage in the suburb, a loving wife, happy children; but ho never mounts the step of his engine without his eye lighting up that he is to again be master of the snorting* puffing, ra cing stood, whoso speed is only equalled by the lightning spark. Wo hoar of heroes every day; wo road of bravo deeds of men, of lives saved, of heroic self-sacrifice’s. It is woll-dho world likes bravo men. But, there is no greater'hero, no braver man, no one who toils harder or sacrifices more than that quiet, modest genius whoso steady nerves shako death from the path of h‘s rushing engine, and lands his human freight, at the end of his route, without a man or woman dropping oven ono word to show that danger was known and the heroism ap preciated. •What is ratio, John ?’ ‘Batlo.sir?’ ‘Yes, ratio ?’ •Oh, sir, ratio!

Wondeks.— This world of ours is filled with wonders. The micro,scope reveals them not less than the telescope, each at either extreme of creation. In the Insect oreation particularly there Is so much to know that has never been 'known or ,• wheels within wheels, without oomputa 'tlon of number. Let us take a rapid glance at the proofs, of this statement. The polypus It is sold, like the fatnre hydra,- receives now life from the knife, which is lifted to destroy it. The fly spider lays an egg as large as itself.. There are four thousand and forty-one muscles in the caterpillar. Hooke dis 'eovered fourteen thousand mirrors in the eye of a drone;- and to effect the respire-* tion of a carp, thirteen thousand three hundred arteries,, vessels, veins, bones, etc., ate necessary. The body of every spider contains four little masses pierced with a multitude of imperceptible holes, each hole permitting the passage of a single thread with which the spider spina his web; so that what we call a spiders’ thread consists of , four thousand united. Lenwhenook, by means of microscopes, observed spiders no bigger than a grain of sand, and which spun threads so fine that it took four thousand of them to equal in magnitude a single hair. 1 , Beautiful Alt-egohy. —Ci iltendeil of Kentucky was atone time engaged defending a man who had been indict ed for a capital offence. After an elab orate and powerful defense he closed his effort with the following striking and beautiful allegory: “ When God,, in His eternal, council, conceived the thought of man’s creation, Ho called to Him the three ministers who wait con stantly upon the throne —Justico, Truth, and Mercy—and thus addressed them: ‘Shall we make man?’ Then said Justice: 1 Oh, God, make him not, for - ho will trample upon Thy laws.’— Truth made answer also: ‘Oh, God,- make him not, for he will pollute Thy sanctuaries.’ But Mercy, dropping up- on her. knees, looking up through her tears, exclaimed; ‘Oh, God, make man—X will watch over him with my care through all the dark paths which he may "have to tread 1’ Then God' made man, and said to him: ‘Oh, naan; thou art the child' of Mercy; go and deal with thy brother.’” The jury, when he had finished, were drowned in tears, and against evidence, and what must have been against their own convictions brought in a verdict of not guilty. Clean Your Out-houses.— The va pors arising from sinks is extremely dis agreeable and unhealthy, and in Warm weather means should be taken to do- 1 compose it.
