They are closely akin; for kilionanees always involves an impaired diges tion, and indigestion is necessarily an accompani ment of a disordered or torpid liver. Happy the man or woman who can boast of a stomach that las never felt the horrors of dyspepsia, and to whom that great secretive agent, tho liver, has never given pain or trouble. Not one in a thousand an lay claim to entire immunity from irregularity ia these organs. How, then, shall they bo regu lated! Not by poworful cathartbics, alternated with ordinary stimulants, but by a medicinal invig- orant, like Iloetotter'a Stomach Bitters, which com bine, in dao proportion, tho tonio and tho alterative principle. Wherever there Is a church, a school- honae, and a general store, this famous medicine may be procured. No villago merchant finds it prudent to be without it. for itia inquirod forevory day by every clasa. Tho workingman buys it be cause it increases hie capacity for toil, and is fol lowed by no roaction. The effect of tho salubri ous roots, herbs, etc., of which it is composed, dif fused through his system by the pure stimulant which forms tho basis of the Bitters, is most Uoalth- ful and invigorating. Tho scholar, tbo merchant, and, in fact, all men whose minds or bodies, or both, are in constant exercise, will derive benefit from Its use. To persons of sedentary habits it supplies, in some measure, that activity in the cir culation which is obtained by physical exertion, and lathe beet known remedy for constipation. Aak for Hoetetter’s Stomach Bitters, and do not be coaxed into purchasing any of tho imitations and frauds sometimes offered in its stead. BALL, BLACK & CO M 505 anti 567 Broadway, N.

New York’s New Loan.—The telegraph yes terday advised that the loon for thG construction of docks and piers in New York City had been taken by the International Bank of Hamburg. The plan adopted by the dock commission for tliis purpose comprehends a street not less than ono hundred and fifty feet wide everywhere, completely encircling the water front. This front stretches twenty-one and a half miles, to be instantly constructed at a cost of $2,500,000 per mile, or S53,750,000. From this street piers aro to extend, three to five hundred feet long by sixty to one hundred wide, with intervening spaces two hundred feet wide, furnishing a min imum depth nlong the frontage of twenty feet. Some of the piers will be of iron, some of stone, some of both. It is contended that the addi tional rents wilt more than pay interest on the loan. Cure for Heat.—At this season many per sons suffer terribly from tho eruption called prickley heat. So familiar is it that all persons know it. It is caused by the solid perspirable matter not passing off in a dissolved state, as shonld bo the ca«e It is easily enred in one day by nsing the warm bath for ten minntes, then rubbing the affected part with lemon jnice. The warm water dissolves the salts that are lodged nnJerthe skin; so does the lemon juice. When the eruption stings and bums, lemon juice rubbed on the part affected will give relief in a few moments. Possibly, strong apple vinegar might act in the same way. Persons who can not get lemon jnice might nse citric acid dis solved, twenty grains to an ounce of water. [Journal. The Ice Crop.—There is an overstock of ice in Maine—between 200,000 and 300,000 tons are said to be still stored, mostly on the Ken- nebeo. The Boston Commercial Bulletin says: Over 400,000 tons of ice were cut within a .radius of fifteen miles of Boston last winter, which, with the competition between the Citi zens’ Ice Company and the combination of the markotmen, has brought down prices to a lower figure than at any time during the past five years. The article is now furnished at leaBt fifty per cent lower than last year. • A jury in North Carolina, after being charg ed in the usual way by the Judge, retired to their room, when a white juror ventured to ask colored associate if he understood the charge of the Judge. “Golly,” exclaimed the astonish ed juror, “He don’t charge ns nnffin for dat, does he ?
