ney,) “Mephistopheles.”

Should always be used whenever the first symp

Cold Feet, Pain in the Biek, Low Spirits and In
digestion, are the sure forerunners of Dyspepsia
and other horrid nightmare diseases.
For all snch symptoms Plantation Bitters
ars a certain and Ready Relief. An immediate
good effect is always felt from the first trial.—
They are easy to procure, pleasant to take, and'
aure to do good.
•* Never give up; it is wiser and better
Always to hope, than once to despair;
Plantation Bitters break ennui’s fetter,
And drive out the demons of sickness and care.”
Fatigued, overworked men, merchants, stu
dents, and all persons whoso occupation wears
out the body and racks the brain, find in Plant
ation Bitters
ExoaOsted Nature’s Great Restorer.
A Convention of Capitalist*.
The Richmond Dispatch mnkesthis propo
sition :
If the Radicals succeed in the fall elections,
Congress will undertake to impeach tlio Pres
ident next winter.
The President does not bclievo that the
House of Representatives as at present Con
stituted has any right or power to present
articles of impeachment against him, nor
that the Senate can constitutionally try him.
Congress, therefore, will not be allowed by
the President to impeach him. We take this
for granted. Ho will not surrender hie posi
tion at tlic bidding of a body which he firm
ly and conscientiously believes to be uncon
stitutional in its organization, and revolu
tionary in its tendency.
Congress, however, professes to believe that
i tlios an undobbted right to impeach tbc
President, and remove him from office.—
That body, therefore, will be likely to in
sist upon what it considers to be its rights.
A conflict will be inevitable under the cir
cumstances. The President will call upon
the military for support. Gens. Stecdman
Sherman, Fullerton, Custar, Dix, Wool, and
hundreds of others of the best Generals in the
army will unquestionably rally to the support
of the President. Au equally large number
will support the pretensions of Congress.—
Civil war cannot well be avoided unless one
party or the other to this conflict shall sur
render its position.
The bonds and treasury notes of the United
States would become worthless as soon as
such a conflict had been begun. Capitalists
are therefore deeply interested in preventing
so deplorable an event. If the Radicals shall
be defeated in the fall elections in the North
ern States, there will, in that case, be no dan
gcr of a disturbance of the peace of the coun
try. That this desirable result can be brought
about if proper efforts be made, there is some
reason to hope.
It is believed that the capitalists have both
the will and the power, by combining their
influence, to defeat the Radicals at the com
ing election.
We propose, therefore, that the capitalists
oi the country hold a convention at an early
day, and agree upon a plan of combined ac
tion. They can exercise a powerful influ
ence upon tbc voters of the North. Let them
consider tbc proposition.

BOILING FOOD FOR HOGS.
Corn is scarce, and os tbc-season for fatten
ing hogs is approaching, wc cannot do our
planters and farmers a grciftcr service than to
give thetn a piece of advice that will save
them thousands, and by a veiy little addition
to tlieir present amount of labor. It is toboil
nil food before giving it to tlieir fattening hog*.
No man who bas made the experiment will
ever abandon the practice.
A friend of ours, in Greene county, a few
years ago, weighed out two equal quantities
ot live pork, kept them in adjoining pens and
treated them in all respects tliq^ame, except
that he fed one pen on raw food and the oth
er on exactly tbc same amount and quality of
food boiled. At killing time, those fed on
boiled food weighed just 33 per cent, more
than tbeir neighbors. This ought to be con
elusive; but tbc following contains addition
al testimony:
At a meeting of the New York Farmers’
Club, Prof. Mapes made the following re
marks in regard to boiling food for bogs:
“Tbc proof of the saving of food by boil
ing has been given here; wc may os well
have it. Mr. Mason was a watchmaker in
Camden, N. J., and among other fancies he
liked to keep hogs. He had his hog pen
built just back of bis snop, so that he could
sit at bis window and watch bis hogs. Every
spring be bought some pigs and fed them
through the season. Just opposite Mr. Ma
son was the store of Sir. Van Arsdalc, and
every pound of food that Mr. Mason gave bis
pigs he bought at this store. At the end of
six months he got his bill from Mr. Van Ars
dalc, and be always slaughtered bis hogs at
the same time, so that lie knew exactly how
much his pork cost. For several years it fig
ured up at 13 cents per pound. At length
some one advised him to boil bis corn. He
accordingly got a large kettle and cooked
all tlie food which lie fed to bis pigs. Then
his pork cost him four and a half cents per
pound. We also bad the experience of Mr.
Campbell, which was about the same as Mr.
Mason’s. Henry Ellsworth made some exten
sive experiments in the same thing, and his
statement is that thirty pounds of raw corn
makes as much pork as thirteen pounds ot
boiled corn.
A Great German Actor Coming.—The N.
Y. Herald says:
We mark with pleasure an advuncc in
dramatic art in this country, as indicated by
tlie visit of such artists as Ristori. We no
tice also that an eminent tragedian, enjoying
most enviable reputation throughout Germa
ny—Mr. Dawison—bos been engaged to play
at the Stadt theatre at a cost of a thousand
dollars a night. This actor- is regarded as
the best impersonator of the tragic music
known in Central Europe, and he is almost
equally great in comedy. He lias created an
immense furor in Vienna, and is looked upon
by tht; whole German people as the Kembles
and Keans and Garricks were by the English
in their day.

A TERRIBLE RETRIBUTION.
An Accused Man Calls on God to
„ Strike Him Dead if He
is Guilty.
He Falls Instantly to tlic Floor.
From the Chicago Times.
Whatever version may be given to a circum
stance that occurred in this city yesterday
afternoon, tlic most thoughtless must per force
admit that the result is both strange and
startling, and well calculated to tura the seri
ous man to profound meditation, and ever
stay the reckless man in his course. A man
of robust health and in the prime of life, is
accused of a crime under circumstances of
most positive proofs ot guilt, and while lie
calls upon God to bear witness to his ir.ro
cence, is struck dead almost before the ap
peal has left bis lips. Incredible ns tlic cir
cumstance may appear, they are literally
true:
A little over a year ago there lived in a
small village in Sweden a man by the name
of Roscncrist, whose ostensible pursuit «vas
that of a tailor, but rumor bad it that his
principle revenue was derived from poaching
and stealing, and at last this impression was
so strongly confirmed that he suddenly left
the village to evade the arm of justice. He
came to this country about eight months ago
and took up his residence in Chicago, where
lie again worked at bis trade. Having a fam
ily ho found it difficult to support them in
the city, and consequently sent them to a
farm fourteen miles from Chicago. He there
upon took lodgings at a boarding bouse, No.
144 Burnside street, and for a long time no
susjiicions were entertained as to his charac
ter. Recently several valuable articles be
longing to boarders at tbe bouse were found
missing, but no clue as to the perpetrator
could bo detected. Yesterday afternoon an
other theft was discovered, and the proofs of
guilt pointed directly to Roscncrist, no one
else having been near the apartment since tbe
articles stolen were last seen. Ou being ac
cused, lie stoutly denied tbc theft, but had
ing no credence was given to the denial, lie
suddenly grew more passionate and lifting
his hand to heaven exclaimed that lie hoped
his “tongue would rot ia liis mouth, his head
drop from his shoulders, and God strike him
down on the spot,” if he was guilty. No
sooner had these words escaped liis lips, when
he suddenly began to reel and stagger, and
before support could be given, bo fell to the
floor—dead. The excitement this incident
created among the bystanders can better be
imagined than described. Strong men stood
paralyzed, women fainted and none were able
to speak for some minutes. The occurrence
was so horrible, this apparent retribution so
terrible, that men doubted their senses. But
the dead man remained prostrate on the floor
a ghastly proof of the reality. The rumor
of this strange and startling fatality soon
spread through the neighborhood; in a few
minutes the house was filled with horror strick
en people, none of whom doubted that the
hand of God was thus made visible. A phy
sician was called, who pronounced the cause
ot death to be disease of the heart, produced
by over excitement. The body has been con
veyed to the dead house, where an inquest
will be held to-day.

Heat and Exhaustion.
It requires a constitution and physique of unusual
strength to resist the effect of the enervating heat of
July and August. Unless the system is toned and sus
tained by s wholesome stomachic during these oppres
sive months, it is likely to be so severely debilitated as
to render it *n easy prey to the epidemics which pre
vail in the (all. “ A wholesome stomachic I Where is
it to be found t” asks the reader, who has, perhaps,
been told by his pbysicisn that a little good brandy is a
serviceable stimulant, and has sought for that obsolete
article in rain. It would be as idle to expect whole
someness and purity among the liquors of commerce
as to look for miracles of piety in the State prison or
wisdom in an idiot asylum.
There n one safe resource—hut one—for those who
need a protective tonic and health-sustaining inrigo
rant. I.et them commence at once, os the torrid sea
son opens in all its intensity, a course of
UO TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
Ask the returned officers and soldiers of tbe Union
army, who have used this elixir during the war, what
they think of it. They will tell you that it keeps up the
vital forces under the wilting beams of a vertical sun
wilbont vitiating the blood or creating any undue ex
citement in the circulation. As the poet Cowper said
of tea, “It cheers, but not inebriates.” It braces the
nervous organization, and regulates all the functions of
ths body.
No other stimulant con compare in purity with the
Essence Of Rye, wlich forms its basis, and tbe tonic,
aperient and anti-bilious iierbs witii which it is medi
cated, are the best of their kind on the whole face of the
earth.
Tiie President’s Tour —its Revelations
-The Charleston Daily News says:
This grand and extraordinary tour bas re
vealed three tilings plainly: First, that party
spirit at the North is stronger than patriot
ism. Second, the fearlessness of Andrew
Johnson in encountering the Radicals. Third,
tbc fearlessness of the Radicals in encounter
ing Andrew Johnson. The heartiness of the
welcome, accorded to the President all along
the route, was measured, not by his ability as
man, his reputation as a statesman, nor liis
position in the Government of the country.
He was received with overpowering dem
onstrations wherever his own party was iu
the ascendant, and received the cold shoulder
whenever it was not. In Radical Philadel
phia lie was snubbed. In Conservatiue New
York lie was hailed—and so it was all along
the route. In all the speeches which the
President made, lie stated plainly and un
hesitatingly the issues of the campaign, and
he often personally abused the Radical lead
ers without stint. On the other hand, not
only did Radical officials slight him on every
possible occasion, but Radical mobs insulted
him with impunity.
These are all signs of a coming -storm, big
with danger to the ship of state.
