A stale of the Stomnch in which its functions an- disturbed, often without the presence of Olhm diseases, attended with loss of arppctite, nausea, heartburn, sour stomach, rising of ?food, after cat im;, sense of fullness or weight in the stomach, ncrid or fetid eructations, a fluttering or .sinking at the pit of the stomach, palpitations, illusion ?of the senses, nun hid feelings and uneasiness of vari ?ous kinds, and which is permanently Lured if you take ZEBUE PATIj^E 5Constipation or Costiveness ? A state of the bowels in which the evacuations do not take place as designed by nature and are inordinately hard and ?expelled with difficulty, caused by a low state of the system, which diminishes the action of the muscular coat of the stomach. This disease is easily cured if you will take ZE3I IB PATI ZDsTIEl m INDIGESTION \ A condition of the Stomach pro [ li duced by inactivity of the Liver, 1? when the food is not properly digested, and in which condi tion the sufferer is liable to become the victim of nearly every disease that human flesh is heir to? chills, fevers and general prostration.

What Scott Has t) Say to an Ohio Ro jioiicr?Ho Proposes to Ret aim to-the Palmetto State. ! Kk Governor R. K. Scott, who is in Napoleon, Obi \ has been interview ed by a reporter fer the Toledo Sun day -Journalj and thus delivers him self-: "I suppose, Governor, that yon are abotft .prepared to make this .place your borne again ?'v ; "No, sir, South Carolina is my home-?-it is the only home I have. I like her people, and have'identified my interests and myscl'f with them. I havc.no intention of removing." "W'-bat have you to say ot Hayes' 'pd'iey,"' and of the administration of Hampton?'1 ' Hayes has adopted the policy for v\htch I hoped aiitl looked ever since IS70. 1 indicated that policy in several public com>Miunicatious and a'hlresM.'S?tor instiiHcCy in an address tlcliveied at Jcnkitisvi le, u.i the 4th of July, 1S7I1; alto iu a letter to Lit ill. Gov. G'-eaves, in 1S75 and you certainly remember the address which J delivered at this idaee iu July. IST?, on the occasion of the reunion of my old regiment. Don't you remember the little hell which the Radical Republicans raised about it at the time.? Here is what I said iu conclusion : 'Ijet us forget that there has been a war. Let us oblite rate every evidence that remains of the strifi , ami meet on a common platform of truth and justice, with t he love of a common country as a bond of union, that shall unite us and our posterity for all future time."' "And what ofHampton?" "I have never had confidence in a government largely controlled by a population just disenthralled from slavery. The persons to successfully govern an intelligent people, such ns ours, must themselves be educated and intelligent. The educated white people of the South would have ob tained control of tho State Govern ments long before this, had their pre judices been less bitter and the hatreds growing out of the war less intense; and had they adopted the situation and pursued the policy which I Iain p ton did last full. The policy which Hayes has adopted will return pros perity tt> the South; the Government of Ham pi on will inspire confidence, as it will be honestly and faithfully administered." "What effect will this policy have in the future upon the political organizations of tho South?will Democrats leave their organization and 'jine the gang' with Stanley ?" "I Uiink not. There may be di visions in the Democratic party, but they will be upon men, and purely local?iu national politics, or, rather in political organizations, Democrats will remain loyal to their party. It is true that more charity, if I may so call it, will bo entertained for tho Republican party, and more confi dence reposed in it; but the 'policy,' as it is called, is in the South espe cially, rogariled as the offspring of the Democratic party, which party, aided by Conservative Republican, forced recognition from the adminis fcrution. The negro clement, the main support of the Republican party, will l.o largely controlled by the Democrats hereafter, and the colored vote will be cast more for men than lor party. Heretofore tli3 attach ment and devotion of that race to the Republicans was owing largely to the fear entertained that the success of the Democratic party would result in an abridgment of the rights of citizen ship. The course of Hampton dis pels this apprehension. Hampton is honestly carrying out the promises which he made during the campaign, lie has already appointed moro color ed men to office than were appointed during the entire two first years that I was'Governor, which were the first of reconstruction " "And what do you think will bo ?the future of the colored race tu the South.?" "I think that they will quietly and tpcaocably enjoy all civil rights as guaranteed to all other citizens. I believe, ho wovor, that an apprecia tion ofthcir own good and advantage will gradually eliminate thorn from ?alt least nit active participation;in fwMtics. They arc a race very easily ?controlled. Labor is their field of ?usefulness, and they are especially ?suited to the fields and the cliinato of 'the South. It was a mistake to draw 'them prominently into partisan poli tics? the white man (a fact which must be conceded,) being the super ior, will never consent to be goverued by an inferior." "If, as I understand you, the Demo cratic party will grjw stronger in the South by acquisitions from the color ed vote; what say you as to an ex - ('onfederate for the next President, which will probably be urged by the South ?'? "I tlnnk that the people of both the North and the South could support a man like IZnmprnn with poufootcot'-, sistoncy, and without the surrender of a particle of principle, and no more compromise of honor than a Con f?derale makes in the support of a Northern man. The causes which led to ihe war grew out of our politi cal system?the Ham i I Ionian und Jeffersonian ideas of government? consolidation and State sovereignty, Slate rights; in a word, Hampton be lieves in the teachings of (Jalhouu, I and that he owed his first allegiance 11 his own S ate?the people -of the i North believed otherwise, and the conflict came. The disagreement has become accord. Before the outbreak, as -is well known, Hampton was a Uuion man?he is now as loyal as nny citizen in the country, and at the head of the government, would ! administer its affairs as honestly, as ably, and as faithfully as any states man of the North possibly could do. Looking at the country in the light of the recent strikes, it seems to ihe that the most reliable conservative men will be found in the South. There the relation of capital and la bor is best ui iierstood, and Lbe most respect entertained,* for eaoli other. ] The South also possesses within her self the means of suppressing every thing tending to communism. When the folly of the government in disfran chising citizens on account of their political opinions is fully appreciated, then there will he nothing more to ! prevent a Union soldier voting for a Confederate, than there now is to re strain a Southerner from voting for a man from the North." ''.Excuse my curiosity, but what have you to say of ihe prosecutions now pending against Moses and others V" "Jt. is a delicate subject for me to tulk about. I consider the prosecu tions unwise. They aro the result of the political complications growing out of tlio war," "How with the Federal officers in the-South i" "The Federal, especially the reve nue officers, should be taken from the natives. Many of the lower classes have been in lite habit of distilling their surplus stock; they cannot be made to understand or appreciate, the revenue laws?they are like tho Irish and lha Kngiish?ami the Northern men sent down there- nt'o more dis posed to arrest and annoy than to in struct and benefit, the revenue* The government of the Soulh is now safe in the hands of those toVNp?-}i it pro perly belong!', and it Jgjp be much more honestly administered than it will by mere adventurers from the North." j\ '?

Blow Your Own Horn.?Blow your own horn. Yes, give it a blast, and let modesty blush if it will. This false delicacy has been the stumbling block of thousands of really good and capable men. Make a noise it will attract somebody. Let the world know that you arealivoand intend to drive things until you get to tho top of the hill and make a fortune. To the man of energy and pcrseverauco mountains are but mole hills. 'Tis only tho a roues that fail. Thoy arc always looking on tho black side, predicting disasters, alvt ays complain ing of the hard times, always waiting for something to turu up. Such men never will find good times nor pros perity. Neither nill they ever find friends or admirers among the first class business men. If you would succeed in anything, don't stand still. (Jo ahead, Don't be afraid. Do some thing. If you don't blow tho horn somebody else will, but not for your benefit except ' in a horn." An Idyl of Ice-Oream. How tho Girl Absorbed Countless Saucers and Bank nipt utl Hot* Beau. It was the wild midnight. The 'amc midnight was oil'watch and had gone to bed three hours before. A storm brooded over the eastern heav ens. It wa? a thoroughbred brood storm. Hopbrewe.l, for it was com ing from the yeast. Hawkeye creek was rolling tttmultuously in its s tudy bed. A lithn form cowered at the gar leu gate. Many a manly form has been coward at just such gates, ever since summer nights and gnats ami beauty and lovo and June bug-* were invented; *He docs not come,' she murin tired, softly, as she peered into she dark ness. 'I cannot sec him. I will call him.' She wa3 wrong. If she couldn't see him, she ccr.ainly couldn't call bi n with the sumo hand. A manly step came scraping down tho sidewalk. It was Desmond. She. threw open the gats, ami the next instant he clasped in his great, strong arms twenty?seven yards of foulard, three yards of raching, seven dozen Breton buttons and a Pompa dour punier as big as a doghouse. It was all his own. 'AH is lost,'he exclaimed. 'Con stance de Belviderc, the Russians have crossed the Balkans. Wo must fly.' Constance was a noble girl. She only said: 'Whither shall wo fly?' lie wanted to fly to some lone de sert isle, but she submitted an aninid ment providing thatllliey should fly to the ice-cream saloon.

A ml And a supplement to that. And an addenda to that. An 1 an exhibit to that. Gloom sat enthroned upon his brow. Constance saw it. She said : 'What is it. dearest?' A dreadful suspicion stabbed her' heart like a knife. 'Desmond,' she said, 'you are not tired of me, darling ?' 'By Heaven, no,' he said, an 1 then he looked (and thought) unutterable things. Her brow lightened tip with a ray of celestial in tell ig >.t v. *I see,' she said, tapping I be empty plate with her spoon. 'Too cold. Signed U. Morhur.'

S u: saw her Desmo ml holding earnest discussion with the man. She unv the man shake his head resolutely in answer to Des mond's pleading looks and appealing gestures. She saw him lock the door, takeout the key, put it in his packet and lean up ngain.-t the door. She saw her own Desmond draw from his own pockets and pile up on tho coun ter a pearl-handle pocket-knife, six nickels, four green postage-stamps a watch-key, two lead pencils, a memorandum-book, a theater ticket (of the variety denomination), a pock el comb, an ivory toothpick, a shirt stud, one sleeve-button, a photograph of heiself, a package of trix, two street-car checks,a card with a funny story on it, a silk handkerchief and a pair of gloves. And thou she know that Dosmond was a bankrupt, and when the man swept the assets of tho concern into a drawer and opened the door she sobbed convulsively: 'And it wn.-t mine extravagance which hath did this thing.'

Judge Pitman has a habit of slip ping his watch under his pillow when he gbpi to bed.

After a b t, while be w is laying awake, his foot touched it, it folt very cold: Ho was surprised and scared, and, jumping from bed, he said : 'By gracious, Maria! there's a toad ?rsnake or something under the cover. 1 touched it with my foot.' M:*\ Pitman, gave, a loud scream , and was out en the floor in an instant. 'Now, don't go to hollering and wake up the neighbors,' said tho Judge, 'You go and get me a broom or something, and ive'il fix tho thing mighty quick.' Mrs. Pitm 01. got the broom and gave it to the Judge, with the re mark that she felt as if snakes were creeping all up a lid down her back. '0, nonsense, Maria! Now you turn down the cover slowly, while I hold tho broom and bang it. Put a bucket of water-along side the bed, too, so.'s we can shove it in and drown it.' Mrs. Pit mail fixed tho bucket and gently removed tho covers. Tho Judge held tho broom uplifted, and as soon as tho bhick ribbon of tho watch was ' revealed cracked away, three or four times with his broom -fheii pu.-died - tire ?'-tMng.t>ft' into the bucket to tho light to investigate tho matter.
