Worn to a Shadow.?Flesh, muscle
and mind alike deterioate when tho
stora- oh falters in its duty and the!
bowels do not perform their part asj
scavengers of the system regularly aud
naturally. In chronic dyspepsia, the
body is usually emaciated, the muscular
fibre loose and flabby, and the brain in?
capable of prolonged or vigorous exer?
tion. Every organ, every member,
even the immortal mind itself, is, to a I
certain extent, dependent upon the sto?
mach for support. Strengthen and re-j
galate this feeder of the system with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, when it|
fails to perform its functions properly.
A good appetite, an increased flow of
the gastric juice, and perfect digestion
and assimilation, will assuredly be the
result. The manner iu which tho great
tonic and alterative effects a cure of
dyspepsia is dlreot and simple. It stire?
lates tbe digestive organs, cleanses with?
out convulsing the bowels, regulates the!
flow of bile and determines it into the
right channels, and exorcises a tran
qntlizing influenae over the nerves.

A colored 'gentleman went to Marian
na, Florida, tbe other day to oonsult one
of tho most conscientious lawyers, aud
after stating his case, said, "Now, Mr.
?-, I know you's a lawyer, but I
wish you would, please sir, jiss tell me do
truff 'bout dat matter."
: " 111 j .' 1 ??. . ' 1 1 . ?-.
The New Issue of Gee end a cks. ?The
public are profoundly surprised at tbe
semi-official announcement conveyed in
the following Washington despatch:
"It can bo stated with truth, and
about which there is no official conceal?
ment, that 61.000,000 or $5,000,000 of
the reserve of $41,000,000, tho issue of
which the Treasury Department con?
siders is left to the discretion of the Sec?
retary, was made use of when tbo Assist?
ant-Treasurer at N^cw York was instruct?
ed to buy .bonds end Bell gold, apart
froui the.' usual mouthly programme.
This Was on tbe 7th of October, more
than' four weeks ago Since that time no
further amount ?f tuo reserve has been
used, nor is'there tho least probability
that it will again soon be drawn upon."
So far as this action may imply that
the Secretary of the Treasury has aban?
doned his ideas of construction, Mr.
Boutwell is to bo congratulated upon
having at least learnt something. This,
however, is tbe sum of what can be said
iu favor of this extraordinary exercise of
power. $44,000,000 of legal tender
notes were, in accordance with the
orders of Congress, "retired and can?
celed," attd therefore to *all intents and
purposes became extinct as Government
obligations and as a purt of our circulat?
ing medium. Not a word in the law
authorizing the liquidation of those
notes conveys the most shadowy impli?
cation that tbeir extinction was other?
wise than absolute aud Una), and there
has not been a line of subsequent enact?
ment which conveys any power to re?
place the retired notes by new issues;
yet Mr. Boutwell professes to believe
that the issue of an amount of legal ten?
ders equal to tho whole $14,000,000 re?
tired is left to his discretion.
Such uu assumption can be based only
upou tbe most strained und violent con?
struction of vaguely expressed provisions
of law, which no official oould bo justi?
fied ia regarding as adequate authority
for suob important uctiou. If Mr. Bout?
well really had it iu bis power to expand
the circulation ot legal tenders to the
extent of S4-1.000.00U, tho country would
quickly seo to it that he wore deprived
j of such a momentous discretion; for they
uro iu no mood to place in tho hands of
any official an authority which implies
such immeuee arbitrary control over tbe
monetary interests of tho nation. Tho
enlightened sentiment of the country is
emphatically iu favor of tho exemption
of our monetary affairs from Govern?
ment interference; aud it was in obedi?
ence to this feeling that contraction was
suspended, aud the volume of tho green?
back currency fixed at 8350.000,000.
The business portion of tbo community
will be alarmed at the discovery thut a
Secretary of tbo Treasury ?'usurps the
prerogative of determining how much
currency the country uee'ds, and of mak?
ing unauthorized issues, secretly, upon
his own bare dictum.
While all were glad to havo tbe relief
lately afforded by tho Treasury, yet there
are few who will not regard this advant?
age as having been bought at the cost of
official usurpation and by the exercise of
a power most dangerous to the financial
interests of the country. Mr. Boutwell
did well to purchase $5,000,000 of bonds
and sell $5,000,000 of gold; the good
effects of that action amply justify it;
but it was not necessary to his affording
that aid to tho market that bo should
make irresponsible issues of greenbacks.
Including tho amounts subject to the
order of disbursing officers, the Secretary
held nearly $10,000,000 of currency ut
the time of these operations, $5,000,000 i
of which could have been allowed to re?
main in the hands of local national bauk
depositories, without any inconvenience
to the Department, und yet with identi?
cally the- same results to. tho market as
arose from this unauthorized issue of
$5.000,000 new legal tenders.
Upon other grounds, this policy of
unauthorized expansion is to be deeply
regretted. Looking at these questions
as the public do, the action will be re?
garded as unfavorable to the public
credit, as warranting a now inflation of
the gold premium, as justifying a new
lease of speculation, and as pointing to
an indefinite postponement of specie
payments. To tbe business public at
large, this action will bo discouraging,
and by our foreign critics it will be con?
strued as a re-action toward a condition
of things which thoy havo regarded with
much distrust.

The Outlaws.?We learn that the out?
laws in Robeson are beooming moro bold
and defiant. For somo months past thoy
have been keeping very close, and no?
thing was apparently known of their
whereabouts or what thoy were doing;
but within the last week or two they have
come upon tbe surface again and are
putting on as bold a front as ever. We
mentioned a day or two since tho fact of
Stephen Lowrey boing present at a Jus?
tice's Court ut Union Chapel Church, on
Saturday last, and now wo learn that
Stephen Lowroy, Androw Strong and a
white man from South Carolina, who has
lately joined the band, were in tho vici?

At Sheffield, England, a man was re?
cently fined for boing robbed. Tho ma?
gistrate refused to entertain his com?
plaint against a lewd woman for robbing
him, and thon proceeded to say:
I shall fine you ten shillings and costs
for being drunk in a public place. I
j believe that you were robbed, and it is
Because I believe you were robbed that
I impose this Hue. I am only sorry I
cannot impose a heavier penalty. It w
an intolerable nuisance that men with
large sums of money in their pockets
should get drunk and support a class of
thieves in the town who aro rolling in
wealth, and who aro enabled to profit
better by thieving than they could by
honest labor. A man who allows him?
self to bo robbed in tho way you have
j doue is a public nuisance.
"WtixTJmn'T You Thpit'on It?"?A
good story has boon told on a lisping
officer in tbe United States army, having
lee i victimized by a brother officer,
(noted for bis oool deliberation and strong
nerves,) and his getting square with him
in the following mannor: Tho cool joker,
tho captain, was always quizzing the lisp?
ing officer, a lieutenant, of his nervouB
nesa.
'?Why," said he, one day, in the pre?
sence of his oompauy, "nervousness is
all nonsense; I tell yon, lieutenant, no
brave man-will bo nervona,'ijg^. -
"Well," inquired Lid It/f?ftfti ml
"how would you do; tbpose a enell with
an inch futhoff tboald .drop itthelf in a
walled angle, in whictf.yoj? bud taken
thelter from a company of tharp-thooth
erth, and whero it was thcrtaiu, if you
put out your notbe, you'd get pep
pored?"
"How?" said tho captain, winking at
the circlo, "why, take it oool, aud spit
ou the fuaee." '
Tho party broke up, and all retired
except tho patrol. The next morning a
number of soldiers were assembled on
the parade, and talking in clusters, when
nloug came the lisping lieutenant. Lazi?
ly opening bis eyes ho romnrked:
"I want to try an experiment tbith
morning, and theo how extbee'Jiogly
cool you cau be."
Saying this, ho walked deliberately
into the captniu's quartern, where a fire
was burning ou tho hearth, aud placed
in its hottest centre n powder canister,
and instuutly retreated. There wus but
ouo mode of egress from the quarters,
und that was upon tho parade ground,
the road being built up for defence; tbe
occupant took ouo look at tho canister,
comprehended his situation, and iu a
moment dashed at the doj., but it was
fustened on the outside.
"(Jhurley, let me out, if you love mi
shouted the captain.
"Thpit ou the canitldei 1" shouted he,
in return.
Not a moment wus to bo lost; he hud
ut lirat snatched up a blanket to cover
his egress, but now, dropping it, be
raised the window, and out he bounded,
tans culottes, sans everything but a vory
short under-garment, and thus, with hair
almost on eud, be dashed upon a full I
parade ground. The shout which hailed
him brought out tbe whole barracks to
Bee what was tho matter, and tbo digui
?ed captain pulled a sergeant in front of
him to hide himself.
??Why didn't you thpit ou it?"
quired the lieutenant.
"Because there wore no sharp shooters
in front to stop a retreat," answered tho
Quptain.
"AU I got to tbay, then, itb," said the
lieutenant, "that you might thnfelyhave
doue it, for there wathu't a thinglo grain
of powder in it."
Tho captain bus never spoken of
nervousness since.
A New York Mail letter tells bow a
Chinuman learned to smoke a cigar:
As the pull's curled out from his lips, bis
facu was wreathed in smoke and smiles.
Ele took it out and in silvery accents
?aid: "Him good." Here a pause and
more pull's of smoke, "llim heap good."
Another pause and the pulls more rapid.
"Him bully heap good." Yet another
pause and he put one bund up to tbo
jigar. "Him berry bully heap good."
Here both bauds went up aud the silence
tvas broken by?"Him big berry bully
neap good." And then a change came
3ver the spirit of bis dream as his face
gauged from pie crust to dust and
isbes, and things assumed a tinge no
onger celestial but cerulean, until, with
i gesture indoscribable in its express?
iveness, be slowly enunciated: "Him
muchee mucheo big berry bully heap

mon on the "Vioe of tho Age" was
?rcacbed in St. Louis, on Sunday last,
by Rev. Dr. Holland, of that city, and
in the course of bis remarks he said:
"The middle claases spend their iucome
in keeping up false appearances. They,
too, must wear dove-colored pantaloons
aid shiny boots. They must weur dia?
mond studs aud seal rings and carry
young ladies to tho opera in hired car?
riages, at tbe rate of three hours' nse
[or three days' wages. They must take
l turn now und then at billiards, stand
treat to the cocktails, bet upon their ve?
racity when called in question, aud, last
?f all, lest they should be deemed timid,
must demonstrate their nervo by 'fight?
ing tho tiger,' until it claws the lust dime
out of their pockets, aud claws lasting
