"SPECIAL_NOTIOES. —— HOSTETTER'S BITTERS ON THE BATTLE- FIELD, It is satisfactory to know that onr field hospitals are no longer unsupplied with this life-saving preparation. Soldiers who, as private citizens, had become acquainted with its properties, have in many instances: made a special request that HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS might be added to the medical stores of their regiments, and their wishes have not been unheeded. As a means of sustaining wounded men on the battle- field, and of enabling troops to bear fatiguing marches under a blazing sun, it has been stren- ously recommended by distinguished medical men, and. the prospect is that it will eventually supercede all the adulterated tinctures, liquors and dangerous Tonics that haye heretofore been consideréd medicinal staples. The fact that a small quantity of the Bitters mixed witli water from any of the Southern or Southwestern rivers will prevent it from affecting the bowels or the liver, should be borne in mind by Army Physi- cians, soldiers, and all who have occasion to yisit those portions of our country, The man who uses HOSTETTER’S BITTERS in conformity with the direetions, may set at defiance Intermittent Fever and al] other diseases generated by the action of an nnwholesome atmosphere upon an overtaxed frame. iy 2l-2w ——————E “Fail! in the Lexicon of Youth Which Fate reserves toa steht ‘Manhood There's no such word as Fait!” And in the history of Dyspeptic Man there need be no gloomy future full of hypochondriacal fears, for one draught of the wonderiul appetizer and healer, PLANTATION BITTERS, will seatter the dark clouds of Despondency and bid-Hope *'tell her flat- tering tale’ again.

FINANCIAL.—The New York stock market yesterday showed more animation and firm- ness. The check to speculation arising. from the rise in the rate of interest, proves to be only temporary; brokers being loth to borrow all they want. Governments were less active. There was no foreign demand of moment, and the dispo- tion to sell appeared to predominate. A pri- vate holder sold about half a million of various elisses of bonds, which had a clepressing effect upon prices. Sixes of 1881 declined ¥; Five- twenties, old, %: and new, X, Money isin good demand, but apparently the turn easjer in rates. The national banks, having had their Government balances drawn down pretty closely, are not free lenders, and ask, at present, full rates. The general rates on stock and Government collaterals, with the banks, is six per cent., and on gold loans seven per cent. Gold is quiet. The “bulls” are struggling hard to buy'up the snpply and thereby compel an advance, but they have been somewhat em- barrassed the last few days by sales made by the Treasury Department, for purposes known to itself, bui only surmised by others; the ob- ject probably being to provide currenoy for the payment of the August interest on Seven-thir- ty notes. Yesterday the Treasury was not selling gold. First ARRIVAL.—On Tuesday last ten or twelve boats loaded with coal arrived at Havre-de-Grace from the coal regions, via the Susquehannah and Tide Water canal. This is the first arrival of the season. The canal was badly damaged last winter, and the spring and part ofthe summer have been occupied in re- pairingit.

Most girls have beanx—we mean one apiece—or wish they had. And if “the course of true love” had only run as it too often won't, they would probably have been as happy (7), as humdrum, and as unconspienens as the most of us, But Mary, being mainly out of sight, in time Was outof mind. Burroughs, ti of his en- gagement (or understanding), wrote less fre. quently and less fervently; finally became ace quainted with another, whom he found more attractive than Mary, wooed, won, and was married—not to his earlier love. Hence disap- pointment, jeatousy, bitterness, revenge and mur—but no, we must respect the verdict, and say, insanity. ‘e reject the hypothesis that Burroughs sought to entice his affianced into a den of in- famy. Itis uot clearly proved; and there was no rational motive for such an act of villainy. there is no suggestion, no hins that he ever said or did anything that Miss Harris should bave resented throughout the years of their unreserved intimacy and her undonbting af- fection. That must be a most supererogatory scoundrelism that would thoroughly respect her maiden purity under such circumstances, yet afterward seek, by an anonymous note in & disguised hand, tolure her into a den of shame. bal welsh Heed ens that innocence wonld alarmed and repe! by such pable en< ticements or ae y ~ Burroughs jilted Mary Harris, and she shot him. Had she jilted him, and he had therefora shot her, nobody would have adjudged him guilty of insanity. But she isa woman; and it is virtually adjudicated that a woman who shoots the man who has heen taithless to her is necessarily insane.. We don’tsee it. Yet there is a rough, “wild justice” in this and kindred verdiets. Gur laws are made by men, and they are not justto woman. They ought to punish the conspirator against female purity severely; but they do not, because too many of our legisletors and jurists are liber- tines. That is rather a blunt wa: of stating it; but it isthe fact. This city is Fant to-day of dens of lewdness, each of them a perpetual snare for female innocence. Every woman (or man) who makes a gainful trade of minis< tering to other’s lechery should be a felon by” statute; every one who conspires or aids to deprive the girl of her virtue should be pune ished at least aa severely as a burglar, a forger, orahighway robber. They are not so punished, because itis tomany magnates inconvenient that they should be. Yet the wrong is felt, though not redressed; hence the rude exeuation. effected by such verdicts as that which has juss acquitted Miss Harris, [From the New York Times.} Photography Viewed in the Light ef So- acicl a Hig Wegrainetse invoked by the extraordinary result of the Mary Harris trial, we find in yesterday: evening’s papers an account of the arrest of a foolish young fellow for meddling with female affections by way of advertising to furnism husbands and wives at the moderate price of 25 cents. (Someof them would be ruinously dear ever at that figure.) Well, in Spite of the thousand times exposed humbug of this ad= vertising dodge, there are females whose withered hearts are set pit-a-pat by such flum= mery; and in this case a sweet 1, whoa owns upto the age of 38, (more likely $:,) writes to the sharp young fellow as follows: Rocnester, N.

[From the Baltimore Americana.) The Mary Harris Trial. The reports of the trial of Mary Harris, in Washington, for the murder of A. J. Bur- roughs, assert with curious unanimity that the verdict rendered was that of acquittal, preeisc— ly as everybody expected. It may be true that everybody expected the jury to be governed in. their decision more by their sympathy than by the law and the testimony. ut why such ex< pectationst Whatright was there to presume that twelve intelligent men should lare a deliberate murderess to be not guiltyof a proven. crime? Nobody believes that the defence of Miss Harris was clearly made out. Those who ‘were most gratified by the introduction of that convenient plea—insanity—would not stultify their own understanding by trying to convince themselves of the “insane impulse” and the “moral justification” so freely nee Tpon by the counsel for the defendant. “It is impossible,” said the District Attorney, *toacquit this wo man on the ground of insanity. If you want to acquit this woman, do it because you want to, but noton such nonsence as insane impulse.” More~ over, it was not PEP yed, and it is not presumed that Burroughs had criminally wronged, the girlor assaulted her honor, Yad such been the case, there would haye been some color= ing for the action of the jury. It was undoubtedly a shameful betrayal, but women have been deceived and perere. in all gener- ations. The rupture of plighted troth is an old story—old and yet ever new—but as des- picable and wicked, and as blighting and ruinous asever. It deserves the several pen- alties, but up to the present time it has not been supposed that a breach of promise would dustify ihe commission of homicide.
