They arc not a vile Fancy Drink, inadcot Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Li quors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste, called “Tonics,” “Appetizers.” “Restorers,” &c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true Medicine.made from the Native Iloots and Herbs‘of Cali fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the GREAT HI.ODD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno vator and Invigorator of tho System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the Mood to a healthy con dition. No person can take tl»c3c Bitters according to directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones are’ not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond tlu\ point of repair. They arc a Gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma tism and Gout, Dyspepsia or ludigestiou, Bil ious, Kcmitteut and Intermittent ! Fevers* Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys nud Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. Such Diseases arc caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs. DYSPEPSIA OR IN DIGESTION, Headache, Pain in the Slioulders.Coughs, Tightness of the Chest Dizziness, Sour Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth. Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the oflsprings of Dyspepsia. They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate tho torpid Liver and Bowels, which rendef them of unequalled effi cacy in clonusing the blood of all impurities, and impart ing new life and vigor to the Whole system. * FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal Rbcum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Byes, Erysipelas, Itch,Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dis, oases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will conviuco the most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in tho veins; cleanse it when it b foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep tho blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. Pin, Tape, nuil oilier Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from tho presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No (fyfltem of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. J. WALKER, Proprietor. R. H. MCDONALD & CO., D rn ffgiits and Gen. Agents. San Francisco.

If you have any thing to accomplish, go at it with a will, and let no barrier deter you that may he gone round, borne down, or climbed over. Longing and wishing, although they may open the door for action, amount to very little unless the feel are swift and the hands willing; unless the purpose is ardent, the will-power strong, anj faith looks daringly for ward to the consummation. Be in earnest! If you have a ditch to dig, or a shirt to make, do not repine and sigh over the drudge ry of file, hut bend yourself to the task, and he assured that the strong est man or most expert woman could have done the same no better, and then surely, you may glory a little in its completion. A blacksmith may, and lias be come world renowned, not because the work was grand, hut it was done grandly. He look the same rough iron as his smutty companion, hut gave it more thought, more turns and brighter palish, and would ho satisfied only with the best, so woke up one morning to find Limself fa mous. lie in earnest! If you are talking to another let him or her feel tint your longue utters the convictions ol your soul, ami that your actions are the results ol true and tried princi ple; then, he ite fiietid or loe, he will know where you stand and he prepared to meet you lace to lace. Look around you. Is there any thing in life that does not require your mightiest help or < ffurt? The world is lull of shadows where only strong hare arms are needed to clear away the rubbish and broken houghs, to let the warm sunshine, lay caressingly in the ilaik'-ried placesand quicken into file the g> t ins ol sweetest llowers i lint, hid be neath seared, witheted leaves, lay chill and dead amid damp aud frost. Be in earnest! You have hut one to-day, and when it is gone it is gone forever. The sun bends steadily to the western horizon, and your sheave must he cut and hound while the day lasts, if you would count them with satisfaction at the twilight hour. There is not a mo ment to he wasted. .Morning and evening, seed-time and harvest give you the same loud call to the vine yard of file, and furnish labor anti reward to every willing worker. “The keen spirit seizes the prompt occasion, makes the thoughts start into action.,, and at once plans am! performs, resolves and executes.” Glance over the field and mark the glorious work. There are laws to he made, sermons to he preached, and pictures to he painted. There are wrongs to he met, vices to be uprooted, and right to be made tri urnphant. There are hearts to be comforted, feeble efforts to be en couraged, and zeal tube kindled by your own. Ar.d for these you can only be prepared by giving your whole heart to present duties, and Li}’ doing the lowest work as well as it can possibly be done. Then when new labor and higher work comes, it will he taken up joyfully, and the ability will grow with the occasion. Be in earnest! Get up in the morning. “Let no grass grow un der your feel.” If you have a log to chop, make your axe fly and let the chips attest to your industry. If you have a lesson to learn, put heart and brain to the effort, that the harvest of knowledge may be plen teous and golden. And whether you have a sermon to preach or a shoe to peg, dishes to wash or a hook to write, he in earnest —earn- est in your speech, earnest in your actions, earnest in your life, never forgetting the text, “Whatever yeur hands find to do, do it with all your might.” “Let us, then be up and doing With a heart for every fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.’’ —. Our Beautiful South. It will not be long before the tour ist seeking to enjoy the beauties of nature and the pleasures of travel will learn that within the limits of the Southern Slates he can find all that the most exacting taste can de mand, or the most enthusiastic devo tee of beauty can desire. All that is necessary is that the increase of traveling facilities should continue for the next few years as they have during the past year, and the entire country will be covered by a com plete network of railroads. Should he lake pleasure in the grandeur of mountain scenery, in the western portions of Virginia and North Car olina and East Tennessee, he can find it as rough and rugged as in the most romantic regions of the old world. Should he prefer the pleas- ing pictures ol Woods and flown rs, of rivers tin.l Likes, the balmy breezes ol Florida wall woo him to their soft j embrace. He can find the jungles 'of India in the wilds ot Arkansas, | the pampas of South America on the plains of Texas the fertility ol the Nile in the fields ol Alabama and Mississippi and le ni-iana, a gener ous hospitality in the homes of the genial Geoigians, the beauty of an English meadow in the blue grass regions of Kentucky, tin* courtly cultivation of a kingly race in the unconquerable Carolinian, the more mellowing influence of an older civ- ilization upon the quiet firms of Ma ryland, the mighty movements of modern energy in the magnificent development of Missouri.

Sou'll. &3v. Vance on Independent Candidates, Hogs, Old Whigs, Radicals, etc. Gov. Vance, a few days ago, at Statesville, N. C., made an amusing speech, from which we make the following extracts. Head and laugh: One fellow will tell you that he is an old W-li-i g, and don’t like the Democrats and Secessionists; that they brought on the war and ate re sponsible tor all the ruin of the coun try, and therefore they think they had better go over. [Laughter.] Now I have this to say about that: l.i the first place, these Secessionists, alone, were not responsible for the war. The Northern Abolitionists had, in my opinion, more to do in bringing on the war than anybody else. But suppose the Democrats were to blame for it, how does that affect the question? What excuse does that give for lending your influence to a party that is robbing the coun try of the little the war left it? Sup pose I was a Democrat at the be ginning of the war (which I never was,) or a Secessionist (which I nev er have been,) or that I helped to bring on the war, (which I never did,) is that any reason why you should take to stealing ? [Laughter.] Suppose a neighbor should catch you robbing Ins hen roost, do you think it would be a good excuse to say, Why, I wouldn’t have stolen these it Vance hadn’t brought on this war ? [More laughter.] Now, I want to tell you some of the symptoms of a fellow when he begins to turn over. He first begins to talk about being ‘ independent .’ He is not tied down to any parly, and will vote for whathe thinks best, etc. According to the diagonosis of the most skillful political doctors, this symptom means the same thing as the sheriff'there says when he leads a horse out to the block and cries out, ‘who says, gentlemen, and how much?’ [Applause.] This is an in dependent horse! [Great applause.] In other words, he’s for sale. A man who is devoted to principle san’t be independent. His principles con strain him to vote with that party which will carry them out. The next system is an intense love of old whiggery. [Laughter and applause.] When this comes out strong you may appoint the funeral. Radway’s Rea dy Relief can’t save him. [Great laughter and continued applause.] I do protest and bog thut if any man wants to join the Radical party, he won’t prostitute the name of old Whigs. The old Whig parly was at least a decent party. The Dem ocrats in olden times used to call it aristocratic, and to some extent it was. I can see now many of these old fellows who to dress with scrupulous ueatness, their bools so black and shiny that a puppy would bark at his image in them all day, [laughter,] his shirt collar white as paper and stiff’a# pasteboarJ,- in his pocket he carried a copy of the Na tional Intelligencer, and blowed his nose with the sound of a trumpet in a red bandanna handkerchief. [Great laughter and applause.] Such men were the very salt of the earth for personal and political uprightness. They elevated no thieves and pub lic plunderers to high positions in the government ; they made no Lit llt*fields the guardians of their Slate bonds; they find no Sam. Watts nor Jaybird .1 -ties on ttie bench. They associated politically with no Cuffy Mayo l)ewee»e. A. J. June-, Winds' Billy's, ami Jordan Cham bers. [Applause.] This profane use of the name of Whig reminds me of a circumstance that happened once in my law office. A fellow came in one iiav, and, ink- ing a seat, with a sheepish counte nance said, “Govi rnor, me and an other gentleman lias got into a little scrape, and I want you to help us out ot it.” “What soil of a scrape ?” said I. “W-e-l I, it- a kind of dis pute,” Slid he. “But what kind ol a dispute f ’ stud I. “Well,” said he again, “it’s a mailer consumin' of hogs.” [Laughter. | “Well, how concerning hog- ?” said I. “Well,” said he, “I believe he accuses me ol taking oneol ’em." [Great laughter.] He didn't want to call it by it_- right name. Now , it any ol you want to go over to gel your share of this plun der that’s going round, don't put it on “old \Yiiigg. rv.” [Great lauglt t'-’r.] Don’t call it u ‘matter of lings.' hut c line out openly and call it by its true name —.l matter of stealing. [Continued npp! ujse and laughter.] Soule m n pretend to liuil a great similarity between the doctrines of the old Whig party and Radicalism. There never was a giealer mistake. There is no Wltiggery in tiny ol these violations ol tire Constitution aud outrages upon civil liberty that I have mentioned. Light is not more yvidely separated from darkness than are the principles which distingui-h these two parties. Just imagine, it you can, Henry Clay wallowing in the same bed w ith Billy Holden, the Hon. Cully M ty<>, and VViu iv Billy Henderson ; an I Dauit I Webster stirring them with a stick. [Uprmi oib laughter] 1 repeal, if you have any inkling lor the flesh pots of Egypt say so, and he done win it. Belike the girl when her bashful sweetheart, ashamed to speak his mind, sat anti syvallowed his spittle in stupid etn barrassment, and kepi pressing her foot yvith his under the table. She finally exclaimed, “John, if you love me, why can't you say so, like a man, and quit dirtying my clean stockings. [Gre.it laughter.] Look also at the political perse cution to which they are subjecting the people in the Federal courts un der this infamous unconstitutional kuklux act. I have heard it staled that there are 2,000 defendants in dicted and to he tried at Raleigh, no doubt before a packed jury of Radicals, as others have been tried, no one of whom is charged wills tak ing file or for any other offence which would amount to more in our State courts than assault and batte ry ot a foicible trespass. I have seen five or six hundred passing through Charlotte at one lime, of men, women, and children, going tyvo hundred and fifty miles from home to allend court, some yvith their rations tied up in rags, leaving their farms to neglect and ruin, with little or no money, and compelled for want of means to camp out in crowds without a shelter over their heads, for sveeks at a lime. How such a sight does fill me with love and admiration for the Govern ment! The object of all this is ap parent enough. One of their most distinguished tnen had the impu dence to tell me that they intended to run enough of our citizens away by ku-klux prosecutions to carry the State in the next elections. I told him, if you undertake to do that 1 will issue a proclamation telling them all to cotne hack. [Laughter and applause.] I only tell you yvhat I had from the mouths of their own leaders. Still some men pretend that they are not satisfied with the progress that the Democracy are making to restore a proper rule to the country, and they make a thou sand objections to continuing in the Conservative ranks. Interesting to the Soldiers of the W*r of 1812—Ton arelethled to Pension*. Read (he following : By an act of Congress approved February 14, 1871, pensions at the rate of eight dollars per mouth are granted to the officers and drilled men, both militia and volunteers, of the military and naval service of the United Slates in the war of ISI2, who served for a period of sixty days, and to the widows ol those who died who were married prior to the treaty of peace (December 24, 1814) which terminated said War. Also to such officers and soldiers who served less than sixty days who have been personally named in any resolution of Congress for any specific service in »aid war.

Some Discount. —One pleasant motiimg, some two or three years ago, a party of gentlemen (one of them a well known dry goods mer chant) were standing on the steps of the Tremont House, in Boston, en joying their cigars, when they no ticed a country-looking chap riding a slim, mangy horse up and down the street, in front of the hotel, ap parently trying to attract the atten tion ot the group. One of them says, “I’ll bet that fellow has a horse tor sale. We’ll see.” Presently along he came, showing bis beast, and was accosted with: “Isay is that ani mal for sale ?” Well, y a-a-s, I might be induced to part with him; bat he is a mighty likely critter.” he sound ?’’ “Sound as a bullet.” #»Can he trot?” “Trot! Well he can. He can just mock a trotter.” “How fast can lie go?” “How fast. Well, he can go in four minutes, and he would go taster if he could. He’d love-ter!” “What is your price for him?” ‘(Five hundred.” “Well, I don’t want a horse, but I’ll give five dollars for him.” “Stranger, he’s yutirn. But that’s a heavy discount."
