Upon ani? mated as well as inanimate nature, the frigid atmosphere produces a marked effect. The blood is driven from the surface of the body hack upon its1 inner fountains, aud chills and fever, rheumatism, pulmonary diseases, bil- I iousness and unpleasant disorders of! the stomach and bowels are apt to be the results. Now, what is required to fortify tho system against the attacks of disease thus engendered? Clearly a tonio, which, acting through the stomach upon the circulation and the nervous system, shall re-determine the vital fluid to the surface, and brace the nerves of motion and sensation. But this is not all that is required. With the tonio must be combined suoh alte? rative and regulating agenoies as will tend to keep the whole animal ma? chinery "in good working order." These three grand requisites of a winter restorative exist, in their fullest perfection, in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which are compounded of the purest vegetable stimulants and ex? tracts of tbe most genial and healthful roots, barks and plants that tho her- i balists and botaniBtsof the woild huve yet discovered. Defensive medication is a precaution which should never be neglected when danger is present, and, therefore, a course of the Bitters, ut this season, is : particularly desirable, especially for tbe feeble and sickly. As u remedy for biliousness, dyspepsia, nervousness and bowel complaints, there is nothing comparable to this wholesome restora? tive. DeclSf3?.l -??>?? Srirr.Ni k's Mandrake Pills will be found to possess those qualities neces? sary to the total eradication of nil bi? lious attacks, prompt to start the se? cretions of tho liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to have invented a remedy for these stubborn complaints, which do vulop all the results produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a mine? ral justly dreaded by mankind, and ac? knowledged to be destructive in the extreme to the human system. That the properties of certain vegetables comprise all the virtues of calomel, without itu injurious tendencies, is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputa? ble by scientific researches; aud those, who use the Mandrake Pills will be fully satisfied that the beat medicines are those provided by nature in the common herbs and roots of the fields. These pills opeu the bowels and correct nil bilious derangements without sali? vation or any of the injurious effects of calomel or other poisons. The se? cretion of bile is promoted by those pills, ns will be seen by the altered color of the* stools, and disappearing of the sallow complexion and cleansing of the tongue. Ample directions for u?e accompany eaoh box of pills. Pre? pared only by J. H. Sohenok A- Son, at their principal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, and for sale by nil druggists and dealers. Prioe 25 cents per box.

The Bench' Atttf the -Bar, ??-'?The members of the Obsrlo*tou bar anem* bled iu a body it* the* Eqaity XJocirtv room in CbflrieetoB, on Monday morn? ing, to meet Judge Reed and to bear what oonrae tbe Judge proposed to pursue as regard a tbe approaching term. Judge Reed, in addressing tbe members of the bar, said that tbe gen? tlemen composing the bar of Charles? ton were well acquainted with the cir? cumstances that brought him to tbe oity; that he, as a judge, recognized no man nor set of men; ho was here to do his duty, and he would rely upon the intelligence of the bar to aid him in performing it faithfully. I have found, said be, from a long experience at tbe bar, that promptness aud readi? ness to do tho business of the term with all possible despatoh are even more important than accuracy iu all cases. I intend to discharge tbe duties of tho term as expeditioutily us possible, and with us little expense to the County as possible. I would be ready to proceed at once to tho dis? charge of my office were it not that au unfortunate accident to my little sou requires that I shall leave here to? night, and I propose to return as soon as the bar muy thiuk it necessary, i apprehend that from sad circum? stances, over which we have bad no control, thu business of tho court is much behind baud, and I am ready to accept any suggestion that may be made. I am ready to do uuytbiug that may be of convenience to the members of tho bar. Mr. Phillips said he thought it was the wish of tbe bar that the Judge should sign no orders or transact any business of that nature until his return from hin home; that he felt sure that it was the unanimous wish of the bar that the Judge, harassed as he must be by family allliction, should not be? gin tbe transaction of busiueBB until his return. Mr. C. Richardson Miles made out an order, which the Judge signed: At tbe request of tho bar, it is or? dered that a special session of the Court of Common Please for Charles? ton Couuly be held, commencing ou the 12th day of January, 1875, for the transaction of such business us does not require the presence of a jury. Law making in Hawaii.?Iu Hawaii the Legislature, composed of a House of Nobles and a House of Representa? tives, makes the lawn, but if their Actv are not approved by tho King, tbey have no effect. The nobles are made by tbe King, aud the representatives are elected by the people. Iu order to be a voter, one must have a certain in? come and be of good standing in tbe community; and where women possess these requirements, they have the pri? vilege of voting. Out of the eleven representatives, five are women. Any man who drinks or swears cannot sit j on a jury. There are no beggars, every man aud woman who is able be? ing compolied to work, and the Go? vernment gives employment to those who have none. The two predominat? ing religious are tbo Catholic and Con? gregational. It is customary for young women to "pop the question" to young men. Crimes involving social virtue and purity are punished by heavy fines, and Sabbath breaking and sweariug by small fines. If a woman's husband absents himself from her four years, she oan marry again, and tbe code of laws has this provision: "If two married persons do not live hap? pily together, but quarrel, and become famous for the same, they shall be con? fined in irous eaoh night separately in the aame cell cntil they oease quarrel? ing." Cresar and Kalakaua had bad colds when tbey met, but we have secured both the speeches. Said Grunt: "Your Royal Highdess, id gibs me bleasuro to gruub the hud ob your Royal Highdess. I hobo your Royal Highdess is bleasod wid this coundry, and wid tho national byb oh your Royal Highdess as blayed by our brass buds. I h?be this visid ob your Royal High? ness will dend to cemend tbe dies ob this coundry ad the coundry of your Royal Higbdes i." I Music by the band?Hawaiian national anthem | Kalakaua neatly replied: "I thag your Egoelleuzy for this wolcub to your gread coundry. Id is a coundry ob whose rezonrcen I hub heard mudcli, ad ob whose clibato 1 hub already bad sobe egspcricuco. Iv tbe civil ridgbt; bill bassos I hobo do sen more ob your j coundry. I bad n good tibo id Culi | furudia, ad hobo I shall coutiduc to bub a good tibo id your coundry." ! [Cheers, aud music by the baud; j music, the national anthem of Hawaii. | Making Death Fahhionaulu.?Tbo gilded aristocracy of New York have devised a moans of making even death fashiouablo. The only daughter of wealthy paronts, a belle in society, beautiful nud good, died suddenly of heart disease. Such a waste of clothes which tho envious world had never seen! It wus too bad, und something must be done. The pretty corpse waB rigged out iu white satins and lsoes looped with diamouds, bejewelod with tho barbaric extravagunco of an Orien? tal despot, bunds encased iu six-button kid gloves, and tbo full uniform of tbe salon. With music and refreshments, tho exhibition was prepared for tbe guests, who came in answer to 1,500 invitations. What is bred in the bone must como out in the fleih, aud one generation cannot eliminate the ances? tral passion for "an illigant wake/' - Despatches from Goneva state that tho snow storm's have boon unusually Bevore throughout Switzerland. Many mountain passes are closed, and postal communications are suspended. Ava? lanches are frequent, and many small chalets are completely oovered up. ?The intelligent ?od oarefol oorrea- j t of .the ?ew York Tim es, ?ho leen studying bp the eituntiou in ttie Southern StattiB, recorde it as his | conviction that "the men of the South, as a class, ure quite as loyal to the1 United States Government as are those of New England or New York," but! some of the women "find a melancholy pleasure in declaring thai they are 'unreconstructed rebele,' and that they 'hate Yankees awful.' " An inquest was held a few days ago by Coroner Huff over the body of Sarah Boyd, au aged colored woman found dead in the Horeb neighbor? hood. The jury came to the oouclu I sion that the old woman froze to death. Sarah is said to be 105 years old. [ Winnsboro Keics, I Poland used to bo "the Hon. Judge Poland." Then they got him to "Judge Polaud," then to "Poland,' and now his neighbors speak of him as "Old Pole, who got so badly I waxed." A peddler named Gallagher was murdered by some unkuowu parties in the woods, near Corington, Go., lust Wednesday or Thursday. The body was found covered up in leaves. Hart, the sculptor, has finished his statue, "The Triumph of Chastity.' He has hurried it up lately, owing to tho unusual need of it iu sumo of the I Northern States. I The gin-house of Mrs. W. B. Lyles, I of Fairtield, was destroyed by tiro a few nights ago, together with fourteen bales of cotton. The tiro was the work of uu incendiary. A public meeting bus been called iu Greenville, to-night, to consider the proposition for supplying the city with gas and pure water.
