medicinally termed, Extracts) of Roots,
Herbs an d Barks, TT making-a prepare.-
lion hiatus concen- Il tented and entirely
free f alcoholic admixture of any
kind. )
Hoofland's German Tonie
Is a combination of all the ingredients of the
Bitters, with the purest quality of Santa Cruz
Ruin, Orange, etc., making one of the most
pleasant and agreeable remedies ever offered to
the public.
Those preferring a Medicine, free from Alco
holic admixture, will use
lIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
Those who have no objection to the combina
tion of the Bitters, as stated, will Use •
1100FLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
'They are both equally good, and contain the
same medicinal virtues, the choice between the
two being a mere matter of taste, the Tonic be
ing the most palatable.
The stomach, from a variety of causes, such
as Indigestion, Dr:- pepsin, Nervous De
bility, etc., is very et apt to have its func
tions deranged. - The ‘..,? Llver sympathising
as closely as it does with' the Stoinach,
then becomes affected, the result of which is
that the patient. suffers from several or more of
the following diseases:
ConStipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Full
ness of - Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stom
ach, Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food,Full
ness or Weight in the Stomach. Sour Eructs-
Gond, Sinking or Fluttering at the Pit of the
Stomach, Swimming of the Head, Hurled or
Difficult Breathing, Fluttering at the Heart,
Choking or Suilbcating Sensations when in a
lying posture, Dimness of Vision Dots or Webs
before the Sight, Dull Pain in the Head, Dell,
clencki:Perspiration, Yellowness of the Skid
and Pain in the Side, Back, Chest, Limbs,
etc.; Sudden Flushes of Heal, Burning'of the
Flesh, Constant Imaginings of Evil and Great
Depression of Spirits.
The sufferer from these diseases should exer
cise the greatest caution in the-selection of a
remedy for his case, purchasing on 1 y
that which he is as-sured from his in
rt6
vestigations and in- entries possesses
true merit, is skill- fully compounded is
free from injurious ingredients and has estab
lished for itself a reputation ihr the cure of
these diseases. In this connection we would
submit these well-known remedies—

GERMAN TONIC,
Prepared by
DR. C. Ili. JACKSON,
Phikulelphia, Pa.
Twenty-two years since they were first intro-
duced into this country from Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures, and benetitted suffering humanity
to' a greater extent, . than any other remedies
known to .the public.
*These remediestrill effectually cure Liver Com
plaint, Jaundloe, Dyspepsia, Chronic
or Nervous Debility.
F Chronic, Diarrhom,
,
Diseases of the nevi andel' diseas
es arising from a dis- orde red Liver,
Stomach, or Intestines.
DEBILITY.
Resulting from ens , cause whatever; Prostra
tion
or the System, Unlaced by Severe
' Labor, Hardships, Exposure,
Fevers, Etc.
There is no medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor is im
parted to the whole system, the appetite is
strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood is prattled, the com
plexion becomes sound andhealthY, the yellow
tinge is eradicated from the eyes, a bloom is
given to the cheeks, and the weak and nervous
invalid becomes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced in we, and feeling the hand
of time weighing heavily upon them, with , all
its attendant Ws, will find in the use of this
BITTERS or the TONIC, an elixir that will -in
stil new life into their veins, restore In a meas
ure the enerys and ardor of more youthful days,
build up their shrunken forms and give health
and happiness to their remaining years.,
NOTICE.
It is a well established feet that fully one-half
Of the female portion of our population
are seldom in the en-T Joyment of good
health; or, to use 1.1_4 their owe ext
don, ''never lee 1 well." They are n
gold, devoid of all energy, extremely nen.?
and have no appetite.
To this class of persons the BITTERS, or the
TONIC, is especially recommended.
Weak and delicate children are made strong
by the use of tither of these remedies.; They
will cure every case of MARAI33II7B, without
Sall. Thousands of certificates have accumula
ted in the hands of .the proprietor, bur apace

arc men of note and of such standing that they

ParPostli•
. The Democratic party begins the campaiga
wider the most auspicious circumstances,
with a cotuidence in success, an enthusiasm
prAumanse, and a vigorous self reliance
that has not been experienced in Many years.
Thelato elections show conclusively that a
vast nutiority of the nation are ready to es
pouse our standard if wo onlY prove faithful
to our creed, and continue to stand tirmlyby
the interests of the country.
But to make victory certain something
more is necessary than mere dependence up
on the truth of our principles. In the flush
of self-confidence, we are apt to forget what
a vigilant enemy we have to overcome, and
what desperate measures he is apt to resort to
to attain his ends. Political battles, like those
of amore bloody nature, depend for their re
sults more on the skill,courage„determination .
and energy of the contesting foes than upon th e
sacredness of their cause, or the convictions of
the partlcipats. The Democracy of America
have always stood forth as devotedly attached
to the Union, the Constitution and the wel
fare of the country as they do to-day, yet
for seven years they have been • divested -of
power, and it is only when the people are
aroused from their delusion by the imperilled
condition of the public interests, that they
have again returned to us that confidence
which it would have been well if they had
never parted with.
The all-important necessity ,of the day, on,
the part of our political • friends is—work!
wows 1! WORK 11 !
We must be thoroughly organized and pre
pared for the campaign. Every man must
consider that he owes a personal duty in the
bunter, as indeed he does, tbr there is no one
so humble, bathe is in some way mom or leas
concerned in the hops at stake. All the
dianietalnust be canvassed, so that tea.may
know where it willbe most advantageous-to
employ our energies. The young men must
be encouraged to lend a helpingtand. Those
who have been led Wray must be brought
back to tho fold, and Democratic arguments
placed in their reach, that they may know
the distinctive questions which divide par-
ties, and no longer be misled by the wiles and
falsehoods of the Opposition.
What we have said before we now reiter
ate, and intend reiterating until we have
waked the Democracy up to a full conscious
ness of -its truth, that the most effective
weapon towards success is the wide dig/A/ti
ff= ef sound and graigAtibrward losainews-
PaPell.
One good journal in a family will do 'more
towards moulding its political convictions
than all other influences, and fifty copies cir
culated in any locality for six months will
accomplish more efficient service than a doz
en costly mass meetings.
The Democratic party has never displayed
that zeal in supporting its press that it need
ed, and to that cause, as much as anything
'else, may be attributed Its misfortunes during
the last ten years. In all sections of the
country—even in the midst of the strongest
Democratic localities;—the Radical press is
more liberally sustained than ours, and in
many places the contrast is so great as al
most to amount to a disgrace.
The time has come for these 'things to be
changed, and for the Democratic party to
enter upon a new method of warfare. Our
papers ought to be spread broadcast over the
land, and take the place of those which are
now defiling the minds of the young and
filling them with wrong ideas of. Republican
liberty. Our public men should avail them
selves of every opportunity that offers to im
press the importance of these views on the
attention of the masses. Our local leaders
should make a point of devoting whatever
spare time they can towards strengthening
theirccrunty organs by procuring their friends'
and neighbors' patronage.
The low Price of TWO DOLLARS per
year at which the Observer is now offered,
if paid in advanee, ought to ensure the doub
ling of our subscription list inside of the next
.six mouths. .
But to place it within the reach of all,we
offer to take sit month subseriptteas at ONE •

NATURAL HISTORY .OF DARIEN.
UY .W3X. JONES
Babies are of two kinds, male and female,
and me usually put up in packages of one,
though sometimes two, in which case they
are called' twins, when nearly of the same
age. They are not - confined to any particu
lar locality, but arc found plentifully distri
buted over all parts of the inhabited coun
tries. Their ages are various and have a wide
range. We have known them as young as
easy to calculate time on a watch dial,
and then again we have seen them where
they have acquired the healthy age of 25,
with. a fair prospect of advancing still fur
ther to babyhood. Their weight depends a
great deal on their. heft ; but as they have
twenty-one years to grow in before it, costs
them anything, it don't matter so much how
big_ they happen to be when they commence.
Probably babies have more pet names
than any other known article of their size.
In the tender years of life, say the first two,
they are lovingly addressed by such endear
ing names as Old Beautiful, Sweetness, Him
'Darling, Honeycomb, Papa's Hope, Mamma's
Joy, Old Blessed, Noble Handsome, sup
posed to be a contradiction of Old Hand
some, and hundreds of other appellations
which we never could translate.
For several years, until they can get old
-enough to play out of doors and soil their
Ewes, their lives arc one long continuous
game of Copenhagen, everybody laboring
under the delusion that all babies are good
for is to kiss, consequently to see one is to
kiss it. We cannot recollect of ever finding
ourselves in the presence of a baby but what
the fond mother would say to it, Now" be a
good little deary and give gentleman a nice
sweet kiss." Of course wo accepted it,
though kissing ain't our forte. We are natu
rally modest, and don't care to be seen kiss
ing anybody. We don't 'hanker after it as
some of our friends do. We are willing to
kiss ,a pretty girl occasionally, for her moth
er's sake, or even for her own, rather than
have any trouble yet We think if said pretty
girl owed us a kiss, we should much prefer
to have it remain on interest to have it paid
when it became due; :we never should pre:
sent our. bill .and demand payment—not if
we continued perfectly sane. We under
stand that there are quite a number of per
sons who differ from us in regard to kissing ;
if so let them kigs, we cannot stop to argue
the point, as our subject treats of babies.
' The monotony of babies' lives is varied by
such little incidents as an attack of the mea
ales, mumps, or croup, and we would not
neglect to speak of cutting teeth. A baby
that has got through all these infantile
troubles, is considered worth some seventy
five dollars more than one who has them in
prospect The diseases are, however, easily
treated, and in case of the measles, all that is
necessary to have them "break out" well,
and to (left° it that' they don't "strike in."
With the mumps, just let them "mump"
round a day or two, and they will come out
nil right With the croup it -is necessary to
"strike ile," generally "goose ile," and if ap
plied in season, 'twill soon lubricate the
throat without much trouble. Cutting teeth
runs longer than either of the other diseases,
yet by a timely investment of a robber ring
and rattle, you get rid of a doctor's bill.
When we were young, we cut our teeth on a
silver dollar, but as dollars arc now made of
paper, they won't stand the wear and tear
of a whole set of teeth, and 'tis cheaper in
the end to.invest in the rubber ring.
Learning to Walk and talk are two achieve
ments about which too much cannot be said.
The walking, though, is a mere ngthing com
pared to talking; yet it is more dangerous,
and accidents oftener occur ; still they
usually acquire the art with then ecessary
breaking of some crockery or fbrniture, which
they frantically clutch at in order to save a
fall. During the seasoe of practicing noth
ing can drop in the house, or the least noise
be made, but the mother will drop whatever
she has in her hands and • cry out : "There
goes Willie; what has he done . now I" and
nisherto the scene of action to -find perhaps
a flower pot on the floor, and Willie engaged•
in scattering its contents about the room.
After clearing up the- debris, the mother re
turns to her work, thanking her stars that it
was only a choice verbena that was ruined,
and not Willie's ne4t.
The conversation at the beginning is a lit
tle difficult to understand. They abbreviate
a great deal, and throw aside all pronouns as
perfectly useless. Listening to their talk is
like attending
,an Italian Opera; one hears
the noise, but can't tell what it means. The
first "pew or "mamma," distinctly - spoken,
is worth five dollars to either of the delighted
parents. Babies must not only talk them
selves, but must be talked to, and the amount
of baby talk used in a common sized family
Is prodigious. Baby's appearance opens a
new field to all. The old hands, who have
Men babies before„ converse in the language
quite fluently, but 'tis ludicrous to hear a be
ginner undertake to master this difficult
tongue. Talking baby talk is an art which
few ever acquire to perfection, though, by
constant practice, the most stupid can par
tially acquire it, yet it takes two or three gen
erations of babies to make a perfect linguist:
The effect a. baby produces on a fry, no
matter how sober said family may be, is won
derfill to beholiL It completely turns. the
heads of all. Ifs pardeular one behave more
insane or is carried more away than the rest,
we think grandma will bear off the palm, al
though, pa, ma, grandpa, aunt, and a long
list of cousins are not counted out by any
means. ,We think the mother acts the most
sensibly, though even she has- het failings
and weak points in regard to the baby, and
will occasionally exhibit a trace of insanity
when dilating upon his - charms and aceom
plishments.
The effect babies have on progression is
self-evident. No one ever knew of a baby
inferior to any other preceding baby. On
the contrary, each one is a little in advance
of any yet born; and when we think of the
vast number yet to be, and how every one
will be a trifle superior to its predecessor,
what a glorious flame awaits us!. We shall
- eventually reach perfection. How can those
persons who believe that we retrograde in
stead of progress, reconcile this fact with their
aboard theory.
Some people, a little enthusiastic, look
upon a baby as "a thing - of beauty and a joy
!brewer." Now, we have seen sonic whom
we thought had a liberal dhicount on their
"beauty," and "their "joy- forever" would
quickly vanish-on having, them commence to
cry and "refuse to be comforted," when left
in our charm, and we busily engaged in read
ing or wriUng. . • _

Chief JuAice Chase's Vietvc`;
A correspondent of the New York Herald,
who professes to be in the Chief' Jug.
tices confidence, sends to that paper ,the fol
lowing statement of his political opinions.
As it has been widely copied, without a de
nial Dy the Chief Justice's or his friends; we
infer that the statement is reliable
The Chief Justice frankly admits that the
Radical party and himsef differ widely in
their views, and as parties arc now organized
he is for the Democratic party. He differs
from them upon only one point—that of uni
versal manhood suffrage. He is agreed with
them on all other issues. Incidentally he
remarked if he were elected by that party to
the presidency, while he would certainly car
ry out their policy faithfully, he would labor
to make the party one of permanent usefulness
upon the broad ground of nationality and ma
terial progress.
In the opinion of the Chief Justice, the
deplorable condition of the Southern States
demands not only the proper consideration
of Congress, but also material aid from the
General Government. The war has been.
ended for three years, and those States should
be in practical relations with the Govern
ment. There is no constitutional authority
to hold them in subjugation, and •if there
were it would be alike :unwise and unjust.
Ile favored the enfranchisement of every
white man in the South, and removing the
political disabilities of every man in the no-,
tion. He thinks freedom and manhood
suffrage should be an unquestioned right, but
he controverts the idea that any other power
than the States themselves can confer at. He
holds that the General Government has no
control over the question, and the power
rests in the States, where alone it should re
side.
The Chief Justice would remove the po.
litical disabilities imposed on the people of
the South by the fourteenth amendment. But
as a mode of relief, and also as an act which
as those States, as now organized, will un
doubtedly ratify it, he proposes a general am
nesty as a mode of relief, as an act which
would tend toward the reconciliation of the
two sections. Furthermore, hi"..-fegards this
as absolutely necessary, as•the provisions of
that amendment exclude thousands from of
fice path under the Government and the
States, and this will lead to complications
which should be avoided.
Hr. Chase urges that the most liberal aid
should be extended to the South in improv
ing their railroad system and also their navi
gable rivers. He thinks aid should be giNien
to the levees on the Mississippi, build new
ones wherever they are required, even from
Cairo 'to the Gulf. - That the millions of
acres of land which would be reclaimed in
the valley of the Mississippi by a judicious
levee syStem would quadruple the producing
powers of that section and-add correspond
ingly to the wealth and prosperity of the
country.
Mr. Chase strenuously urges the early re
turn to specie payments. He believes it
could be done without damage to any inter
ests; and in a comparatively short period of
timedt would not matter whether the bonds
were paid in greenbacks or "old, as the pub
lic credit would be re-established and green
backs be worth par value.
Mr. Chase condemited^in strong terms the
trial of citizens: by military commissions
in time of peace. He regards it as an arro
gant assumption of power most dangerous
to the country, and thinks it should not be
tolerated. The Chief Justice made no refer
ence whatever to the McArdie case, but
his opinion, as recorded in the celebrated
Milligan case, admits of no doubt as to what
they are.
Mr. Chase exiiressed the hope that if Mr.
Johnson should reorganize his Cabinet, he
would appoint a proper proportion .of its
members front the Southern States.
In the course of his conversation he de
precated the course of Congress, especially.
of the House of Representatives. He consi
ders their assaults on the judiciary and other
legislative nets unwise, and calculated to
arouse the distrust and embitter the animos.
tics between the different sections.
In reply to a question, Mr. Chase 'said the
pardoning power was certainly a 'constitu
tional prcrog,utire of the President, and Con
gress had no power to abridge it." ,
The Printers Visit Andy.
The delegates to the National Typograph
ical Union, in session at Washington, last
week, called upon the President in a body,
arid were received by him with extreme
cordiality. In reply to the address of• their
chief officer, President Johnson said :
"It was a little dangerous for him to make
a speech, especially at this time, when not
long since he had been arraigned for makirfg
a speech, and expressing his opinion in re
ference to nui pub'-:e affairs, as a citizen of
the United States. The time had been when
the right , f free speech was the great privi
lege of cry citizen and every officer. He
was 'Tea to say that the allusions made here
to-day were peculiarly gratifying to him.

sprung. It was a fundamental principle with
him never to forget his • former position or
state in life. He sometimes received com
munications with slurs and iuuendoes in re
ference to trades or occupations ; but he de
sired to say to all, that the reason why more
were not me banks was because they had
not the ability.
"Many of the occurrences in the early
period of his life caused him great happiness.
It was not a person's calling which disgraced
him. If we never disgrace our profession it
will never disgrace us. It is a principle of
this Government that worth makes the man,
and the want of it the fellow. I have been
called a Democrat, but my Democracy con
sists in measuring every man by his merit
and his worth. He remembered the day
when he was a journeyman, and often looked
back to those days with, pride and pleasure.
He had been a mechanic. in the proper sense
of the term, and was called a good one. Ile
had always tried to exeelinhi's business, and,
-thanks be to God, so far he hoped he had
been successful. He had the reputation of
doing his work, and always complying with
his promises.
"They bad correctly said, that in our Gov
ernment all could-aspire from the lowest to
to the highest position in the Government ;
and while that is the framework and genius
of the Government, it would be preserved.
He would rather be a mechanic, and one in
the proper sense of the term, with the repute
tion that one deserves, than to be the recipi
ent of 'all thohonor-that- this or any other
Government could confer upon him. These
were insignias of peace, prosperity, and good
will of one man toward another. Ile was
glad to meet such a large portion of intelri
gmt• meenanies, and considered it a high
honor to have them call upon him. He de
sired to meet them in a friendly manner, and
not with any set speech. Since he had been
in public life, every vote, or message
from him, where the question had been in
volved, had been to elevate the great mass of
the working people, which had been the
leading object of his lite.
• "lie had been called a Democrat, and some
might call him an aristocrat. He had al
ways, and did now advocate the aristocracy
of labor. That was the kind of aristocracy
which should he cherished in this country.
Aristocracy of labor, of virtue, of intelligence.
and talent had always had his highest admi
ration, Ho did not speak in any party sense,
but upon first principles, the basis upon
which. society and our. Government rested.
.Again-thanking the Convention for the high
honor paid ,him, ho sincerely trusted that
each and every' one of them would accept
his best wishes for his future welfare and
prosperity."
Each member of the Convention then took
the President by the hand; and, after paying
then' respects, withdrew.
3Es:rumour is certainly made rather per
plexing on . the opposite side of the globe.
The little "son of Heaven," , aged thirteen,
who is to reign over four hundred millions of
Chinese some of these days, must be provided
with a wife. A wife in the Western sense of
the word, the partners of his joys and sor
rows, he must have, although, when he gets
to be a hill grown Emperor, ho will be bet
ter provided, as he will have several score of
ladies ht ettendanee - upon ,his court. The
candidates for the exalted position of wife
and future Empress of the Celestial King
dom, are not, as in:Europe, selected from, the
loyal families only. • The only condition is
that they shall be members of the dominant
race,i'beantifill in form and feature, clear in.
intellect, and free from physical disease or
blemish." Ninety-six suck in closed car
riages, were inspected by the dowager Em
press, for they do the selecting, and of these
twenty were at first retained. These were
again weeded out and sbF retained. Five
more will be eliminated, and the Wtunate
one will be selected, who will be trained in
court manners, several years, before she Ls

things.

that banishes small measures from the coun

him to loan her the sum, not stating her ob-

spent in uniting the two lovers. The swin

LONG FACES.—What a sad mistake it is to

"There is s secret of unbelief amongst some
men tkat God is displeased with man's hap
piness,' aml so they slink about creation,
'ashamed and afraid to enjoy anything !"
