■yiNEGAR BITTERS:’
EUREKA I
DR. WALKER’S CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERS—FREE FROM ALCOHOIA
PURELY VEGETABLE.
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

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

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

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

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

as boor-steak, mutton-chop, venison, roast-beef,
and vegetables, and take out-door exorcise.
They are composed of purely vegetable ingie

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.

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.

way to get along with a girl when she

But I like girls first rate, and I guess
tho boys all do. I don’t care how

That is tho beauty of them. So let them

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. This gas is a combination of.
sulphur and hydrogen, and is called sul
phurated hydrogen or sulphydrio acid,
and blackens silver, copper, tin, &c„
with which it comes In contact, forming
sulphurates of these various metals. Sul
phydrio acid gaa is very deleterious to
animal life; an atmosphere containing
one thousandth of its volume of this acid
will bill a dog, and one two-hundreth
and- fiftieth will destroy a horse. Six or
eight pounds 6t copperas (the commer
cial sulphate of iron) thrown Into a sink
will suffice to decompose the sulphydrio
add and keep the place free from un
pleasant oder for two or three months,
and will not cost over thirty cents.
Every family in cities should be requited
to use this agent two or threo times a
year. Prepared charcoal in powder (but
in larger quantities) will have the same
effect. Also, a liberal use of dry pow
dered earth or dust from the road can be
used with good effect. Of this last
material earth closets are filled.
Origin op Foolscap
term foolscap, to designate a certain
kind of paper, no doubt has puzzled
many an inquirer. The origin ia not
only amuaing but historical. Charles X.
of England, granted numerous monopo
lies for the support of the government.
Among otnera was the manufacture of
paper. The water-mark of the finest
sort was the royal arms of England,
The consumption of this article was
groat, and large fortunes were made by
those who had purchased the exclusive
right to vend It. This, among other
monopolies, was set aside by the parlia
ment that brought Charles I. to the
scaffold; and, by way of showing con
tempt for the king, they ordered the
royal arms to bo from the paper, and a
fool, with hia cap and bells, to be sub
stituted. It is now over two hundred
years since the fool’s cap was takdn from
the paper, but stlU the paper of the size
which the rump parliament ordered for
their Journals, bears the name of the
water-mark placed there ns an Indignity
to Charles.
