TUe Cornucopia af 18G7. .
Tho following, from tho St. Lonis
Democrat, will be rend by our com?
mercial ffionda with moro than ordi?
nary interest. It is a subject worthy
of serious reflection, to bo road at?
tentively and pondered over with
moro than ordinary care:
Tho country laughs with an abun?
dant harvest. Throughoutthe great?
er purt of Illinois, this State, and
Kansas, tho crop already partly '
harvested has been very large; tho i
promise of tho crop not yet gathered '
in, not only in these States, but to
tho Northward, is very bright; und
from tho South and East all reports
concur in representing tho yield as
exceedingly abundant. Famine is
no longer feared. Speculators in
grain count their losses, and con- j
somers already rejoico in a fall of ?
prices, The country is richer already, j
and feels it. Some estimate that the
?rpp of 18G7 alone would more than
half pay the national debt.
It is not merely in tho actual in?
crease of wealth that this bountiful
harvest will do good. It will inako
lifo easier for all laborers and con?
sumers. To the poorer classes, espe?
cially, the abundance of provisions,
bringing low prices, will bo peculiar?
ly grateful. But this ia not all.
Agriculture is tho basis of all our
prosperity. When this fails, every?
thing stagnates. The blood in all
the veins and arteries of business
dows feebly. With a bountiful bar- ;
vest, it bounds gladly through tho I
pulses, fresh, vigorous and full of
life, the strength returns, and activi?
ty becomes a necessity.
Millions of dollars havo been locked
up waiting for this harvest. Busi?
ness of all kinds has waited ; enter?
prise of the utmofi'. importance has
been checked; financial depression
has prevailed; Mr. McCulloch has
looked gloomy, and tho receipts from
internal revenue have fallen off near
ly forty per cent. Everybody was
sailing under closo canvas, expecting
a squall. The storm cloud has pass?
ed. Tho Wall street barometer, with
rising stocks, predicted fair weather.
The sky is clear again, and overy
one feels that business must now
revive. Confidence, thc parent of
prosperity, returns. Tho fanner re?
ceives a handsome snm, and puts no
small part of it into circulation at
once. Tho money starts machinery
that had stood idle; revives trade that
had been dormant.
The crop, once harvested, must bo
moved and manufactured; tho great
army of people engaged in transport?
ing from producer to consumer, or
preparing the food for consumption,
already anticipato a brisk business.
Prices fall, and profits now become
possible in many branches of business
. that Imvo stagnated because of the
cost >f living. So the magic in tinonee
extends through all the articles and
veins of trade and commerce, just
ns tho sunny glow of the rich wino
dances through tho blood, oven to
the lips of the fingers, until every
part of tho body feels thc genial
stimulus. And we only hope that
the country, instead of bending its
new energies to the the work of in?
creased production, may hot rush
wildly into speculation.
Interview with tue Pienldciit. |
"Mack," tho correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, hos has an
othor interview with tho President.
We extract from his letter the follow?
ing, giving the President's views ns
to political parties:
The President expressed tho fear
that the work of restoring tho Union
would suffer from tho combinations
and plans for the next Presidency,
already in a state of formation. As
far as he was concerned, he said, he
had no ambition for another term,
and was not, and never had boen, a
candidate for re-election. "lam not
seeking any nomination, but I want
all tho friends I can got to help mo
save the country, and I don't caro
what party they come from. Before
I sent my first merengo to Congress,
1 told all tho Republicans who called
upon mo that if they would go to
work and get tho States back into
the Union, and restore harmony and
good feeling between tho two sec?
tions, I Would give them a bond in
any sum they could name never to
ask for an ollice and never to hold
ono again. 1 told them then what
1 think now-that, aside from tho
higher consid?rations of patriotism
and public dury*, ns a mere question
of party expediency, they ought to
do this. I said to them that tho youth
was whipped; that the people felt
they had boon put down by tho
arbiter of their own selection, and
were ready to accept thc situation
in good faith; and that if tho Re?
publican party of tho North would ,
deal fairly and generously with them,
it could bo assured of twenty years
of power with tho South-its friends.
I told them that these States must
come back somehow, and it was
for them to say whether as friends
or as enemies of the dominant party
of tho North. If there were an}'
rebels in the South, tho Republican
party could have conquered them by
tho course I suggested. That was
clear to my mind tuen, and it is moro
so now."
Concerning the Democratic party
of tho North, he said some Demo?
crats were very reasonable, others
very unreasonable, in their demands
of him. Some wanted him to give all
the offices to Democrats; others
didn't ask anything of thc kind.
Some insisted on his changing his
Cabiuet and doing everything to snit
them. "If I had taken all tho advice
that's boen given to mo. I don't
know where I should have been by
this time. Ono set of men will come
in and lay down a plan, which thoy
think will do a great deal of good.
They'll go out, and iu will como
another set, equally confident iu an
entirely diff?rent plan. I am always
glad to get advice, but some mon
get mad at mo because I don't take
it. They don't appear to understand
how difficult it is formo to soe things
from tho same stand-point with them
sometimes. They arc outside, as it
were, and can t bc expected to see
all tho bearings as I do. But they'll
como here and storm and fret at me
because I won't let them tako charge
of me, and do the whole business.
Now, whilo I am here, I don't intend
to bo taken charge of by anybody.
I intend to do what's right, as nearly
j as I can get at it, and I won't shirk
tho consequences that may arise
? from that course. I can't please
I everybody, and it's no uso trying.
It's all very well to get advice, and
II am thankful for it always, but the
I responsibility for acting upon it falls
upon me, so I must be the judgo. "
A BOY KILLED UNDEU CHAKTISE
i MENT nv HIS FATHER.-On Saturday
i evening, a son of Andrew Jackson,
; who resides at Centro Hill, near Hud?
son City, N. .T., was charged by his
mother with stealing twenty-five
cents, and the father, in chastising
i him, had only struck tho second
! blow, when the boy sank down and
almost immediately expired. Tho
boy was bmt nine years old. Thc
grief of tho father is intenso at thc
, fatal result* of what lie intended for
thc boy's reformation.
NoiiTH OAIIOLLNA.-O ur sister Sta te, !
os well M our own, is Buffering terri?
bly from tho destitution in several j
localities. Tho Assistant Commis- !
sioner of the Bureau writes to Gen. j
Howard as follows:
"Thero is a class of persons in this >
State who aro tho innocent sufferers ;
of tho Inte war, and whose condition
is deplorable, and who are the objects
of great pity. These are the poor
white women and children left widows
and orphans, their fathers, husbands
and brothers having been killed or
crippled during tho rebellion. They
aro counted by thousands, and aro
now living on charity, and the future
presents no brighter prospects for
them; they must live in idle .ess and
want for tho remainder of their lives,
or until capital and enteprise are
brought to this State. Here thero is
no employment for thom. Hundreds
have gone into tho iields and endea?
vored to earn enongh to sustain life,
but their feeble constitutions soon
break down under the burning sun. j
If this class of people wcro in any of ?
our manufacturing towns in Now
England, they could bo ennobled to j
a sphere of usefulness, and enjoy all i
the comforts of life, and at tho snfno ;
time give to their children advan- ?
tagos of education, wliich are denied |
in their present position. If em?
ployment could bo guaranteed them
in any part of the country, this bu?
reau would furnish them with trans?
portation, aud they would gladly
leave those scenes of want and sor- (
row."

STIMULANTS INDISPENSABLE AS ME
DICINES.- The most distinguished physi
ciaos in tho United States have recent!}
been placi d on the witness stand, and have
with ono voice, declared that pure stiinu
lants are valuable medicinal agents. Ttii
decision of the faculty refers especially ti
medicated stimulants, of which tho puros
and best known is HOSTETTER'S STO
MACH RITTERS. Its basis is the alco
hobo principle of the finest ryo grown ii
?li? UniirU Htates, and its herbal ingrc
dients comprise tho extracts of a larg
Dumber of plants, barks and roots, pru
dnccd in various parts of the world, an
all noted in the countries to which they ar
indigenous for their powerful sanative pre
pertics. As an invigoraut and tonic, tl:
value of the Ritters can scarcely be over
rated. Hence its extraordinary effect i
fever and aguo and intermittents and r<
mittoilts ot every typo. Its anti-biliou
properties are marvelous. Persons of bi
lions habit, by taking a small quant it
once or twice a day, may completely chang
their constitutional tendency to liver dit
ease, and escape all tho unpleasant const
quencos which arise either from the nndu
si nsitivenoss or tho unnatural torpidity i
the biliary organ. Chronic constipation i
eradicated thoroughly, and in a very shoi

some regulator, taken night and moruim
and for all thc diaorders which aro BUpci
induced by exhalations i rom decomposin

THE TRIUMPH OF ART!
MORE TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF
Heinitsh's Queen's Delight.
IT'S TR ACTS FROM LETTERS: "The
li Queen's Delight is, beginning to
awaken tho attention of our physicians.
Its remarkable curative power is seen in
its wonderful effect upon disease. As a
blood purifier, there is no medicine like it
known to the profession. A gentleman
told mo that his son has been taking tho
Queen's Delight, and is more benefited hy
it than by any other medicine. He wanto
a dozen bottles."
Extract from a letter: "It is due to you
to state in this publie manner, in order
that the peonlo may know tho truth, that
I have tried your Queen's Delight, and
found it not only what you said it was-"a
pure medicine"--but the best medicine I
have ever taken for eruptions and general
bad health. 1 bad JU eruption all over my
body, with impaired digestion and disor?
dered liver, and have tried a great many
medicines without any benefit. I have
taken one bottle of your Queen's Delight,
tho eruption has disappeared, my appetite
is better, my liver and digestion is im?
proved, lam satisfied one or two more
bottles will euro me."
Extract from a letter: "At the close of
the war, my constitution was shattered. I
could not eat, sleep or perform any duty
whatever, such was my prostrate "condi?
tion. Medicino and medical aid I bad in
abundance, such was my condition tip to a
few months since, when I began thc uso of
your Queen's Delight. I have used two
"bottles, my constitution is greatly im?
proved, my appetite is good, enjoy refresh?
ing sleep, and am ..hie to perform my share
ol daily labor."
Extract from a letter -Wonderful efTect
of only ono bottle; "I have used only a
half bottle- of 'Queen's Delight' for boils
and eruptions of the skin ami itchiug hu?
mors of the blood, which annoyed i..?' ery
much. 1 am entirely cured. ? think your
medicine a valuable one."
A remarkable case ol liver complaint and
lieadaeho cured by the use of "Heinitsh's
Queen's Delight:" A lady of unquestioned
worth ?ntl reputation voluntarily gives tes?
timony of tho wonderful effects of this
medicine. .Sho has beni from early yearn
0 martyr to headaches, caused by imper?
fect achon of tho liver, producing intenso
headache and pain over tho eyes. Shebas
tala n only four bottles, and assures us of
the perfect cure it ha? made. Shouoweu
jovs good heall h.
Still another: "During last spring, I had
been troubled With obstinate chiils and
I.MT, which, when cnn il, left my system
in a wrotched condition, blood impure, and
1 was afflicted with au angry, and, as I at
one time thought, an Incurable, cutaneous
eruption over my entire body. Tho most
violent remedies suggested failed lo worlt
a cure, until, nt the instance of a friend, 1
tried Dr. Heinitsh's Queen's De-light. Less
i kan two bottles cured mc, h aving my skin
lu a healthy condition. My general health
is as good as ever. For such purposes, I
have, ever since mv turf-, unhesitatingly
r? commended your Queen's Delight."
