Science Advances.—As coon as an article pur porting to be of utility has been tested, and its merits ondoreod by public opinion, unprincipled parties endeavor to replenish their depleted purses by counterfeiting and substituting a spurious for the gemiine article. Some time since, mercury, in the disguise of pills, powders, etc., was given for all diseases of the stomach and liver, while quinine was freely administered for the chills. At length Hostetler's Stomach Bitters made its advent, and an entire new system of healing was inaugurated. The benficial effects of this valuable preparation were at onco acknowledged, and mineral poisons suffered to sink into that obsenrity to which an en lightened age has consigned them. There have been many spurious bitters palmed upon thecommunity, which, after trial, have been found perfectly worth less, while Hostetter s has proved a blessing to thousands, who owe to it their restoration to health. For many years wo have watched the steady pro gress of Hostettor’s Stomach Bitters in pnblic es timation, and its benificent effects as a cure for all complaints arising from the stomach of a morbid nature, and we are free to say that it can bo relied upon as a certain relief and remedy. Its proprie tors have made tho above preparation, after years of careful study and sitting, and are now reaping Kentixo Residences.—Our unfortunate house keepers who do not own dwellings are now busy making terms with landlords and looking abont for homes for next year. Good houses of this kind are hard to find, and when obtained the price demanded is very high. But when we re flect that taxes and repairs have to be planked down roundly, there is but a melancholy re* sidunm left. We heard a man say yesterday that he rented a house for $1,000 per annum, and last year the expenses on it amounted to nearly $500. It is worth all of $20,000, and yon see this income from it don't begin to pay. But whilst these large dwellings do not pay cither to rent out or even to live in, small four and five thousand dollar ones do pay, either to own or to occupy. A man who loves his wife BY TELEGRAPH. BAY DISPATCHES. Washington, July 29.—The British Govern ment has appointed Mr. Guemey, the Rocorder of London, one of the commissioners authorized by the treaty of Washington, to whom claims, therein provided for, shall be presented; and the United States have appointed as commis sioner on their pari, Judge Frazier, of Indiana. The remaining commissioner is to be appointed jointly by Great Britain and the United States, and in case he is not appointed within three months, he shall be named by the Spanish Minister at Washington. Tho British Govern ment has already appointed its agent, Henry Howard. The United States has appointed as their agent Hon. R. S. Hale, of New York. The arbitrators are to meet at Geneva.

Havo received new and handsome varieties of LADIES’ SUITS, Also tho second stock of those great and good MUSQTJTTO CANOPIES. The dome looks too much like an inveterate copper still, or sugar kettle, and the spire running up from it is too bulky and proportion less. The architect, probably, desired to get np something original, and he succeeded, too; for the steeple is unlike anything of the kind in the country. It must not be inferred by the good and eloquent pastor of the church, or any of his flock, that we mean anything more than we have said in regard to it Its interior iB beautiful and finished up in skillful and tasty style.

Street Railroad and the Fair Ghouxds.— I We noticed in the last proceedings of the City Council that $2,500 were appropriated to ex-1 dangerous persons who are to be sent to a penal questions under rules established by the arbi trators at Geneva. New York, July 29.—At a meeting of the Ex ecutive committee of the Texas Pacifio Railroad yesterday, a proposition from the Southern Pa cific Railway Company, with reference to the sale of the two roads to the Texas Pacifio Rail road, was favorably received. Louisviixe, July 29.—General J. T. Boyle is dead, aged 53. New Yore, July 29.—Schooner L. A. Conklin is reported 45 miles off Bumegat on her beam end3 and full of water, and her fore topmast gone. Mexico, July 18, via Matasioeas.—The U. S. Consul flays notwithstanding the strong edito- torials of the Liglo Diaz y Neuve and others, no revolution is expected. Juarez’s estimated ma jority of deputies and electors is decreasing, and the election of President will probably pass into Congress. Both parties express confidence in the result should such he the ease. Affairs in Pueblo are unchanged. The revolutionist Jillineze and his troops were defeated in Guen- emaio.

This will not be enough to do the work, and it is hoped something more can be added by private contributions. The original company will have no money left over after building and equipping the road mapped ont and determined upon, but we presume they can furnish the cars and horses to ran it after the track is laid down. We do not know that they will even have the ability to do that, but a con ference can easily settle the matter. We are all agreed that the road ought, by all means, to be ran down to the grounds, and the sooner it is done, the better. j colony, and to the third class a general amnesty | i3 granted in case of their voluntary emigration, j The last are permitted to go to Arizona; the Government giving them transportation, agri cultural and mining tools, tents, arms and sub sistence for six months. There are now six or eight wells of excellent [ drinking water at the Central City Park, and | all supplied with good pumps. It looks like there is enough corn in Maoon to fatten all the horses and hogs wo own. It is j selling dirt cheap, bnt the merchants say it goes slow, nothwithstanding. In Need oy Rain.—We are now greatly in need of rain hero in the city, to lay the dust, if for nothing else. On the principal streets, and even at the park grounds, it is becoming almost intolerable. Return It.—Some thief has stolen a fine gold I chain from Aunt Mariah Mims, presented to her I son when a slave, by her old master, Mr. Need- i ham Mims. Return it, and make glad the heart of a good and faithfnl old servant. Out Aoatw.—Mr. Henderson, the young and handsome superintendent of the Southern Ex- j press office in this city, is again out from a | TerQ that the case . | rather protracted and stubborn attack of chills and fever. According to general expectation, | his looks ore not improved, and he has been reduced below his best fighting weight. A vest mean nigger was before the Mayor | yesterday, charged with poisoning seven fine shoats. The rascal wanted the owner to give him one of them, and because he was flatly re fused, poisoned the whole lot. He ought to be put in a pen and the dead hogs rationed ont to him as a dire alternative between that and starvation. A Baby Show.—Elsewhere in this morning’s issue will be found a brief and interesting re port of the Monroe county Fair held yesterday, by a gentleman from this city. But his oral report is somewhat fuller than that furnished with his pen. There was a baby show at that Fair, bnt he conld not stay to witness it in the afternoon. He Bays, however, that the ugliest man np there offered a beautiful silver cup for the prettiest baby in Monroe county, and then entered his own baby for the premium. There was much interest and sympathy excited in be-1 to the hotel, attempting another rescue, half of the little one, as it was feared the judges would discover some feint outline of its daddy’s features in its face, and if so, its chances for the premium would be hopeless. Grant at Long Branch.—It has long been a wonder that our illustrious President should spend so much time at this watering place. Some persons assert that most excellent cigars can be bought there. This cannot make any difference to General Grant, as he always gets a through cheek from Washington on a trunk fall of mild Havanas. Isn’t it the water ? No! most emphatically no; ’Us not the water. Can it be to see the pretty girls? Impossible! He would take a through Ucket for Middle Georgia Truman & Green havo just discovered the reason. The General always | pounds on each ^ bale, stops at the same hotel, noted for its elegant cuisine. Ho cannot find such splendid chops and steaks in Washington. Tho enterprising proprietor of the Long Branch Hotel has been csing the Charter Oak Cook Stoves ever since the house was opened, and the superior manner in which the raUons leave the kitchen is the reason of the President’s frequent and pro- tractod visits.

She was standing upon a piano stool in her parlor, in the act of wreathing the por trait of her deceased husband, when the stool suddenly turned under her feet, throwing her violently upon the floor and breaking one of her arms. The Bond.—The bond required by law of the Tax Collector is about $90,000. There are precious few people who can get endorsed for that sum of money, and when a man can, he generally has no use for such a small office as that is. Candidates who have to give security ought, in jostioe to the pnblic, first know whether they can give it before asking an elec tion. It puts the county to no small expense to hold an eleotion at any time, and when only one office is to be filled it is a first-class annoyance.

Wilmington, July 29.—John F. Pickerell, a New York broker, was brought here to-day on a charge of fraud by the officers of the Wilming ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad Com pany, and committed to jail in default of a $300,- 000 bail. A bloody riot occurred at Goldsboro to-day. About five thousand negroes arrived there from Newbemo and the lower counties, on an excur sion train, chartered by the Republican Execu tive State Committee, to attend a mass meeting at which Congressman Thomas, ex-Senator Ab bott, Marius Erwin and R. O. Badger were to be the speakers. There were very few white people in town, and many of thenegroesbecamo intoxicated. The police arrested one turbulent negro, and while on the way to the guard-house with this prisoner, the negroes rallied and res- cned him. The colored police fired at the pris oner, who was recaptured and taken by the police to the Exchange Hotel. Abont 1,000 of the negro mob, with clubs and pistols, rallied to the hotel, attempting another rescue. The riot commenced by the negroes throwing brick bats at the police and using clubs, when a cross firing began between the police and mob. The white citizens forbore, but are now armed for the emergency. There is great excitement. About thirty or more shots were fired. Three or more whites wore hurt, one negro killed, and one colored policeman killed and two wounded, A committee of citizens, appointed by Mayor Robinson, waited upon the Republican leaders and Mr. Stanley, President of the A. & N. O. R. B., and requested that the trains and ne groes be carried away. To this Stanley replied that he would not carry them away until he was ready. 'When told that he and Thomas would be held responsible for the disturbance, he re plied : “Hold us responsible, and be d d." Washington, July 29.—Tho Commissioner of Internal Revenue is having refunded the cot ton tax collected on rope and bagging, known as the tare, which amounts to from 15 to 20 pounds on each bale. The amonnt of cotton tax collected collected by the government was about $80,000,000 and of this amount about $3,- 000,000 is the Tope and bagging, or tare tax, which is now being refunded under section 44 of the act of Congress, approved June 30,18G4. In all claims of this kind the certificate of the Col lector of Internal Revenue is required. The Sub-Ku Klnx Committee have returned fromS. C. TheGeneralCommitteeadjouinsMon- day, leaving the Snb-Committee hero to exam ine other witnesses. A semi-official report of tho Committee published in the Star gives an account of a terrible condition of affairs in South Carolina. The general tenor of the evi dence shows inefficiency and rascality on the has accordingly ooncluded to postpone the trip until the latter part of the spring of 1872. San Francisco, July 29.—The Democracy of San Francisco are divided into three parties on the local nominations, but will probably com promise and unite.
