In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to Dm J. Walknil's Vinegar Btiters, as they will speedily remove tho darkcolored viscid matter with which tho bowels aro loaded, at the panic tiiuo stimulating tho secretions of tho liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of tho digestivo organs.

Ho had bean Governor ol the State, and Fund Commissioner, and seemed to have been uncommonly popular with his people. At that time Illinois was a frontier State, sparsely populated, deficient in the means of education without refinement or much culture of any kind. Mr. Reynolds spoke frequently, always provoking merriment, in Mhich he joined, without caring, apparently, whether the House was laughinh with him or at him. His prhraseology was tinged with the odities and qunintness of a backwoodsman. Everybody was his "worthy friend*" In opposing an appropriation for the navy he provoked the satire of Mr. Winthrop, of Boston, always one ot the most courteous of men. He spoke of the want of appreciation of usefullncss and necessity of a respectable armed force for the water, so often betrayed by Western men. Mr. Reynolds rejoined: "My worthy friend from Boston does me wrong in saying I'm again the navy. On the contrary, 1 love and admire the navy. Didn't our gallant sailois win unperishable honors in fighting our worthy friends, the British, in the last war? Didn't them dashing young fellows, Perry and Macdonough, drive a hostile Hag from off the great lakes, and niako the British lion put his tail between his legs?" Visiting Baltimore soon after he came to Congress, he was amazed at many things ho saw. The size ol the city bewildered him, and the crowd of people in the streets nearly drove hint wild. Passing down Prratt street early in the morning, he came to the Patapsco at the time when t he tide was running strong flood, it being nearly high water. Some six hours afterward he took another look at the river, when it was almost low tide. This rather puzzled him, so toward night lie made another visit to the wharves, and found the tide coining in again. This was too much for him. "Dang me," said he, "if this don't beat all my calculations?two freshes in one day and naiy drop of rain!" Going to New Nork for the first time on business connected with the 1874. !> .i.ii.iii-; luties of his office as Fund Commis- t ioner, lie put up at the Astor House. 1 Such things ns gas and bell-ropes ivere far beyond his comprehension. Lying on the bed, there being a briliant light in the room, he began playng with the bell-handle, and finding t to yield on pulling, he gave it a vig >rons jerk. It was responded to immediately, "What did you wish, sir?'* 'Nothing at all. Come in. I'm glad lo see you. Take a seat. I was gotil.w* >> HM.n llf IVIU C?VM 0 1)1 II H I t*M/111V. I waiter, slightly astonished, net down without a word. Tho Governor had taken ofV his hoots, and John Thomas took them out to ho polished without attracting the attention of lhe Fund Commissioner. Alter repeated etlbrts to blow out tho gas, and finding it impossible lie went to bed. In the morning he missed his hoots, llushing into the hall, halt undressed, ho shouted and shrieked until he brought up one of the proprietors, and a hoarder or two, and no end ol waiters. "My hoots is stole! my hoots is stole!" lie was asked what kind ol . hoots he wore. "Number thirteen,' he screamed, "and pegged at that." The Prohibitory Liquor haw. Wc at length reached the hotel again, and I proposed a glass of brandy and water. My friend looked at me and then at the landlord; and the landlord looked at my friend and ther. at me. Perplexity overspread the countenances ol both. "Such a thing as a drop of liquor is not to he had in the place," said the landlord. "Nought, you mean," retorted my friend. "Nought, I mean," was tho answer. Then both eyed me significantly. "Does anybody give it away?" I inquired, greatly pu/./.led by the mystery that appeared on both their countenances. "Not exactly. You see the State constables would he after me in no time il I sold liquor," explained the landlord. "Do you want some very badly?" 1 could not explain how badly 1 wanted it, and could only give vent to my feelings in a sigh. Without a word the landlord dis u|>[>v;iri-u \vu::m i no 1 crosses ol a small room behind tho otlico desk, and presently canto forth with two empty tumblers in his band. These he placed upon the desk. "But where is the liquor?" I inquired. "The law lot bids nm to sell it," he said. "I dare not disobey the law. If you can find any here you are welcome to it," s,tying which he accidentally turned hack the breast of his coat. The neck of a bottle peeped forth Irom the inside pocket. He winked bis eye at mo, and 1 winked my eye at him, after which I drew foVth the bottle, lie faintly struggled with me to prevent the daring robbery upon which 1 was bent, but 1 proved inexorable. "My private bottle kept for medicinal purposes, and not lor sale," he moaned, as he poured out the liquor (or myself and the worthy chairman ol the parish committee. "Have some water, gentlemen?" he added with alacrity. We drank, and I replaced the bottle in the repository whence I had taken it. Then I put a dollar in his hands. "What is this for be asked, as be deposited it in bis waistcoat pocket and gave me half a dollar in change. "For a bushel of oats," I answered, "Keep them until I send for them." "Ah, sir," said the landlord, with an air of virtuous resignation, "the Prohibitory law has done a world, of good in stopping the sale of liquors. It's a severe law on us, but it's a good one. The Spirit of Discontent. The other day we stood by a cooper who was playing a merry tunc with bis adz around a cask. *Al?r lie saiil, 'mine is a hard lot ? forever trotting like a dog?driving a hoop/ 'ileigho! sighed the blacksmith on a hot summer day, as he wiped the perspiration from hits brow, while the red iron glowed on the anvil; 'this is life with vengancc?melting and frying one's self over a tire.' 'Oh, that I were a carpenter!' ejaculated a shoemaker as he bent, over his lap-stone.

'This is too bad!' perpetually cried the tailor, To bo compelled to sit perched up here plying the needle all the time. Would that mine were a more active life!' 'Last day of grace?banks won't discount?customers won't pay?what shall I do?' grumbles the merchant. T had rather be a truck horse, a dog, or anything else.' 'Happy fellows!' groans the lawyer as ho scratches his head over some dry musty record?'happy fellows! I had rather hammer a stone all day than puzzle my head on this tedious, vexatious question.'

Fifteen or sixteen years ago a man named Harvey started a weekly paper at Williamstown, Ingham county, _ called the Jlerahl. 'Ishe town was small, the times dull, and Harvey was probably the laziest editor whoever had anything to do with a .Michigan paper. The citizens encouraged 1dm all they could, and finally the geni 1 ^ lv.%-1 t It Kit ?? * Act /\l Ill lllill' ?

It was publication day, but the outside, only half made up, was on the stone, and not a lino had been set for the inside. Ilarvey was in the yard back of the ofliee digging fishwornis, and was called in. "See here, Ilarvey, you arc not doing as you should," commenced the gentleman; "here it is Friday, and you havn't, even worked the first t?ideN ol your paper." "I?see?I?havn't?!" slowly re- , nlied the editor, looking in the drawer f >r a fish line. "Well, when are you going to get the paper out?" "Some?time?next?week."

How to Protect Fruit from llirils. A correspondent of tho London Ticld says that his method has proven entirely eflicacions: "And what, you will ask, is my talisman? Simply a ball of gray, white or brown linen thread. I take a ball of this in inv hand, fasten the end of it to one of ii..* ? ...t.^ f i t. . . \ iiil- i-wig? ui mi' guoseuerry or currant bush, and then cross the I broad backwards, from twig to twig in perhaps a dozen dillerrenl directions, fasten oil', and the thing is done; and it will last two years?the thread on the trees, I mean. It. is not necessary that the thread should be white, of course; it ought rather to be line and dark?a thing to be felt, not Seen. 1 have watched the birds after performing the operation; they come boldly to settle on the trees, and they strike these, to them invisible snares, for such no doubt, they seem t*? be; they 11 y off in a terrible hurry, and settle on the walls and trees around about, longing and getting hungrv, until they disappear and you see them no more. As regards pens and other seeds, which I always sow m drills, I simply stretch a thread, sometimes two, along each drill, at about two inches from the ground, supporting it at that bight by little sticks. Il you put it much higher than this, the birds do not. seem to care for it?it does not tuch them; this is the grand secret, something they do not well see, nor k^iow what it means. I have seen peonlo nut a thick white string, with leathers tied to it, and perhaps two feet from the ground. The birds soon understand these, and care little for them; in short, 1 know to my cost it sometimes acts as a lure, as a notice to the birds that there is something t<> be had worth looking after. 1 will answer for it, any one adopting the plan I recommend will never have cause to complain of the birds, however numerous they may be." Queen Victoria in a Hull'.?A London letter on that "wretched quarrel about precedence," says that the Queen has gone oil* to JJalmoral, leaving her imperial guest, the Kinpcror of Russia, in London. She is suffering trom one ol her periodical attacks of what Air. Disraeii calls "mental disability/' and that it has been caused mainlv hv Muummh i>? J "J being compelled lo yield. It i* amusing to observe tlie zeal with which the English people take up the Queen's side in the lilile la mil y quarrel, and insist that the Grand Duchess has been 'honored' by being introduced I into "our royal family." The result, however, is that the Court Journal has been compelled to announce that hereafter the young lady shall bo styled "Her royal and imperial highness the Grand Duchess of Kussin," and thft "she shall take precedence immediately alter the Princess of Wales," This concession has been gall and wormwood to the Queen and to her daughters, and the mortification arising therefrom is the real cause of the present illness of her Majesty and of her untimely tlight to Scotland. The New York Herald, poking fun at id ay a rd Taylor's Egyptian discoveries per Utters to the Tribune, says that li. T. has secured the correspondence between Joseph and Potiphar'a wife, and wants to translate it; but Chicago people want to buy-it untranslated, for feav-Qia will make it as dull as one of bis own books. It appears by the correspondence that what has been hitherto heard of the story was only Joseph's version, as Le reported it to his wile,
