County. gfSnfifi MEDICSMES oofjs 3?o3of Jin Iloofland's German Bitters, -.A Bitter without Alcohol or Spirits of -any kind. Is different from all others. It is composed of the (pure juices of vital frimciplb or Roots, Hkkss, aad Basks (or as medicinally termed, extracts), the worthless or inert portions of the ing not being used. Therefore, in one bottle of this Bitters there is contained as much medical virtue s will be found in several gallons of ordinary mixtures. The Roots, Ac, used in this Bitters Tare grown in Germany, their Vital principles extracted in that country by a scientific Chemist and forwarded to the manufactory in this city, 'where they are compounded and bottled. Coa taining no spirituous ingredients, this Bitters is free fro in the objections nrged against all others; Be desire for stimulants ean be induced from their se; they cannot make drunkards, and cannot, - under an eircamstancei, bare any but a beneficial result. -Hoofland's German Tonic Was compounded for those not inclined to extreuje bitters, and is intended for ue in cases when soma alcoholic stimulant is required in connection with the Tonio properties of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonio contains one bottle of the ftlttere, combined with pure Santa Crcz Rem and flavored in such a manner thtt the rxtremt bitterness of the Bitters is overcome, forming a preparation highly agreeable and pleasant tc the palate, and containing the medicinal virtues of 1 the Bitters. The price of the Tonio is $1.50 per bottle, which many persons think too high. They must take into consideration that the stimulant rased is guaranteed to be of a pure quality. A moor article could be furnished at a cheaper price, iut is it not better to pay a little more and have a good article? A medicinal preparation should Sontaio none but the best ingredients, and they 1 who expect to obtain a cheap compound will most Certainly be cheated.

YOL. 10, NO. 21. THE POIilTICAIi SITUATION, Speech by Gen. Butler. Cw M.J.. - : -i i i " ' dressed a large audience of the colored citizens ot Boston. After noticing the differences of opinion on national topics that. PTlSt in the Konnh lAan r n mat exist in me ixepublican patty, ana the opposition which the effort to check (he outrages on the colored people of the Sout by decided action had met, he declared the Democratic party responsible for those outrages. He then said the Ka Klux organisation meaot simply that the rebellion, failing to wrest the power frum the government to erect an independent empire, whose corner stone was slavery, now by stealthy midnight assassinations tries to attain that purpose which it lost on the open field of battle. It meant that the negro, having been emancipated and raised to the citizen. is to lie hindered by force, fraud and murder from et joyiog the right guaranteed to him y the Constitution of his country. It meant that he should be reduced to a state of peonage worse than slavery, becaure, having the birthright of freedom, the ballot, be is to be coerced in its use Hccording as his oppressors desire, even for their elevation to power. A few weeks ago the Democratic press, both North and South, was discussing the right, nay, the expediency, of declaring the 14th and 15th articles ot amendment to be void and of none effect; and men were threatening if ever the Uemocracy came into power every footstep of freedom should be retraced. Mr. Blair, the late candidate for Vice President had not retraced the doctrines of the Broadhead letter, declaring all the reconstruction acts of Congress void, and that the State constitutions trained in accordance wuo tbctu, giving equal suffrage, should be changed as the interest of the .Democratic party nwirht dictate. Since the legislation against Ku Ivluxisin by Congress how changed the tone of the Democratic press, both North and South! It recognizes the power of the government to protect its citizens and enforce its laws,. It seems that the people will tolerate no change of fundameutal rights settled by the war; and although the Southern heart desires the abrogation of the l-4ih and 15th Amendments, as no one doubts, yet their newspapers are compelled to declare ihey are willing to yield ti the necessities of the Northern Democracy to enable it to carry States sufficient in number to bring the Democratic party into power, while the entire-Democratic party into power, while the entire- Democratic press of the North is offering with one voice that, if the people will reinstate that party in power, the amendment shah not be disturbed. Let no man be deceived". If the Democratic party shall come into power in 1872 by a majority strong enough to maintain itself, just so surely, by force, by fraud, or evasion, all benefit of those constitutional guarantees will be takeu away from the colored man. Ufjust and shocking to every sense of right as this action would be, yet it will not lack at temps at justification. We bear now even, coming iroui South Carolina, a demand that the majority of the people, if colored men, shall not rule in that Siate; that the very foundation stone of republicanism that the majority shall govern is there to be overturned, and in South Carolina the minority must rule the ma jority. He next passed to THE WORK OF THE COLORED MAN. He said: 'Has any one heard of any colored titan, or any number of colored men now with the power in their hands, being the majority of the State, banding together to ride at night for the purpose of avenging themselves upon their late masters and late oppressors-? Even the ie tractor of the negro has failed to point out j such instance. Which knows most of the necessities of the South, the negro or the! white man? The negro builds churches and , school houses; the white man burns them.! The oegro works industriously to produce! something from the soil; the white man retuses to labor, and endeavors to create anarchy beause he can no longer live in idleness upon the labor of others. The negro, after the day of toil, is well taught enough to go to his peaceful home and quite rest. He knows enough to respect every man's rights of person and property; and the white man rides at night masked, disguised and armed, to the terror of the people, and for the purpose of m-urderinej the officers of the law, or of burning the cabins of the peaceful. Finally, the colored men everywhere knew enough and hence comes up the cry against them all to vote the Republican ticket, and that steadily; and that is 6ufBctnet political knowledge, in my judgment, for anydody. I submit to the calm judgment of thecountry, upon a fair and not strained comparison of the two recea, as they stand togeth er to-d y in South Carolina, which is the I fitter to govern? In whose hands life, lib erty and property, are, and will in the fu be, more safe? INFLUENCE OP THE NEGRO. The question of orator and statesman ship in the colored men let me illustrate with an instance of the present Congress. When the Ivu Klux bill wa? uder discus sion a colored colleague of mine represen ting the State of South Carolina made a speeh in the House upon that bill, not on ly so well delivered, but so well considered and well argued, that the Democracy were fain to break the force of it by giving to your hurobla servant the high compliment of having written it. I wish it could have been true. I should have been proud of that speech. I only wish that the one I am now making to you were half as good. But it was all his own, as I have reason for knowing from hearing him in private conversation beforehand enunciate quite a number of thoughts which he therein elaborated for the public ear. And this onlnrftri nratnr for his BroduCtlOO W9 worthy of the name was the product of free schools of Boston, for he was brought op among yon her, od is to xamplo of

When his freedom was proclaimed, it was asserted, nay, indeed believed, by his former master that the would not labor because of any of the incentives which impel white men; that he he would only work when driven to his task by the lash; that, as a race, he would naze no desire for the acquisition of prop erty;; that he would not try to surround himself with the comforts ot civilization; that ne would lead an idle and vicious life in dreamy laziness, only broken by stealthy efforts to plunder a precarious subsistence from the means of others. Let the facts taught by experience answer the absurd falsity of all this. Insteacl of crowding into cities, where employment could not be found and his services were not needed, as a rule, when undisturbed, attached to his hearth-stone and roof-tree, however humble, he has preferred to remain upon the soil that gava him birth. tie has become the willing, industrious labarer for wages. He has endeavored, by patient industry, to accumulate property. The agricultural products of the South, where he is almost the only laborer and certainly the sole one, if the declarations of the former slavemaster were correct, that the white man cculd not labor under a Souther sun have increased since his freedom in an astonishing degree, notwithstanding the wrongs, oppressions and interruptions to which, as a working man, he has there been subjected. In fact, so great has been that production that its very abundance ia now cited by his oppressors as evidence that there can be nothing but peace and quiet where the returns of labor are so great. He rears churches, builds school hauscs, and fills both," while his white neighbors avoid both save to burn them, the pastor and whip the teacher: The statistics of the commerce of the South abundantly show that he seeks to surround himself with all the conveniences of civilized life. COURAGE OF COLORED MEN. During the war I organized and put in the field some 25,000 negro soldiers. I saw them storm in solid column the enemy's works, and a better and braver charge charge was never made. But it is said that the excitement of the contest, the eound of the bugle, the voice of command, carried the colored soldier forward beyond the wont of his Bature. But I have seen him work, day in and day out, calmly and steadily under fire, where the enemy were bursting shells in the trenches by tons of iron a day.; and as the work went on I have heard the laugh and jest go round And all this too, done without murmur or complaint. When, in retaliation for the act of the rebel General in putting some of my cohred soldiers captured by him under tire in the trenches around Richmond, 1 put a hundred of the Virginia Reserves in (be same pit and under the same fire where the negro troops labored for mouths, they unanimously offered to lake the oath of allegiance to the United States and desert of allegiance to the Uoi. ted States and desert the Confederacy rather than remain there for an hour. Therefore, let me say in all kindness of admonition to the Soutern men who ride at night to murder the negro and burn hi9 dwelling, that they had better not trespass too far upon the patient kindness of his nature, or the desire of the negro for peace, I warn them that he will stand only about so much killing, and that he bears with the evils and wrongs inflicted upon him by his midnight pursuers simply because he looks to the government for protection, and thinks it neither his duty nor his privilege under the laws to protect himself. But if as I strust will not be the case the government fails in that duty, and he once takes up arms for his protection, his hunters will quail and flee before the deteimination of his defense and the courage of his battle; and they may, perhaps be shocked and stand adhast with horror at the cruelty of a peaceful and fiindly nature wheu it is too much aroused and bursts the bounds of patience under accumulated suffering and wrong. It is the duty of the statesman to ponder well these facts; observe well a newly enfranchised race, as is the negro patient, in. dustrious peaceful, loyal and faithful; brave and determined when dager comes in the line of duty; thrifty, accumulative, greedy of knowledge: eager for advancement, tem perate and religious and say whether such a race is not fit for the responsibilities and rights of self-government. Beautiful Chemical Experiment. The following beautiful chemical exper iment may easily be performed by a lady, to the great astonishment of circle at her tea-party. Take two or three leaves of red cabbage, cut them into small bits, put them into a basin, and your a pint of boiling water on thsm; let it stand an hour, then pour off the liquor into a decanter. It will be of a fine blue color. Then take four wine glasses; into one put six drops of strong vinegar, into another six drops of solution of 6oda; into a third the same quantity of a strong solution of alum, and let the fourth glass remain empty. The glasses may be prepared some time before, and the few drops of colorless liquids which have been plaoed in them will not be noticed.

BROOKYILLE, IND FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1871.

The Interior of the Earth. The question of the state of the earth's interior has been reviewed by Prof. David Forbes, in a lecture which we find reported in Nature. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the first superficial phenomena which suggest to any one that the earth is not of solid rock to the core; nevortheless, with all the helps of science, we have not yet the data for a thoroughly conclusive solution of the problem. The globe has a diametor of 7,912 miles, while the greatest depth hitherto attained by man's di rect exploration has not reached even one mile from the surface. The sedimentary rocks, those made up of debris of older rock stratified by the action of water, were for a long time supposed to rest on a more ancient foundation of granite. It has been more recently shown that granite rock is known which does not at some plaee or other break through and alter or disturb the sedimentary rocks which lie above it; and hence these latter must have pre-existed on the spot, and the granite which disturbed them was latter in time. At present the oldest rocks we know of are sedimentary, and we cannot say of any rock that it was the foundation on which the otherB were laid. Volcanoes teach us that at a certain depth they communicate with a molten sea, from which they derive their supplies of minerals, and that thesa minerals are similar in chemical constitu tion, no matter what part of the world theyi emanateTrom. It is further gathered that there must be a continuous molten sea, from the fact, whioh seems to be confirmed, that the moon has an influence in raising tide upon it, an indicated by a tidal move ment in volcanic eruptions and in earth quakes. The history of mines has shown that the temperature of the earth steadily increases as we decend. Two degrees Fahrenheit per hundred feet is a fair estimate of the average. As nothing is known to con tradict, it is only fair to suppose that the increase is kept up, and, it 60, at the dedth of twentyfive miles we shall reach a point where iron and lava would be continuously molten. Pressure nay necessitate a higher heat for keeping matter in a melted state; but, allowing for this, fifty miles would be a sufficient thickness of solid crust; a very insignificant thickness compared with the whole diameter, and as for the great interior, the conclusion would seem sure that it is a molten sea. But objections have been raised. How can such a thin crust remain solid, and not become melted up and absorbed? This would have force if there were any means of keeping up a heat supplied from within. But the very presence of a crust implies that the earth is parting with more heat than, is supplied from within. And the cooling and losing of heat would go on until a rurHcient crust formed to act as a non-conductor and hold the heat within. It is urged that a thin crust could not sustain such mountain ranges as the Himalayas and Andes. This ia less plausible, since it is found on a mistaken notion as to the relation these mountains bears to the crust. If we reduce the earth to the scale of an orange, the hiest mountains, six miles, would show no greater inequalities than the little pimples on the skin. Taking an - egg-shell into consideration, we see, furthermore, that by its very shape a very thin crust may have enormous strength. An astronomical argument was raised against this theory of the molten sea, which seemed much more formidable, t and was for some time apparently conclusive. This was brsed on premises drawn from a pendulum-bob of polished glass, with that most slippery fluid (mercury) within. That there must be Borae error in the calculation due' to the difference between, this and the viscid contents of the esirth seemed evident; but it remained for the astronomer, Delaunay, to bestow the labor in calculation which completely reversed the conclusions. Oa the whole, the balance of evidence now stands In favor of the theory that the earth's interior is in a molten state, and that the matters are arranged in zones according to their densitiesj the most central zones metallic. Independent. being Shall Women Speak in Meeting? This is one of the questions continually agitated, never ssttled; and the talk about it calls to the mind of the Independent an incident which took place in the lecture room of an eminent Baptist minister of New England, whose reputation for conservatism is in all the churches: At the weekly prayer-meeting, a good woman present, who did not haypeo to know that it was not the custom for women to open their mouths in that lecture room knelt down and lifted up her voice in a fervent and touching petition. The breath of a warme clime filled the room where they were sitting, the ice of the meeting was thawed, and the courtly Doc tor himself, whose opinions were well known to be quite adverse to such prao tices' was on his feet in a moment after the prayer had closed. I am sure, my friends,' he sard, 'that we have all been greatly delightly and profited by what we have heard. It is true that Paul says something about its being a shame for a woman to speak in the church; but Paul has no reference' to anything of this sort. What Paul referred to was this. Paul was speaking of Paul meant the faet is, brethern and sisters, I don't know what Paul did mean That was the last time Paul was ever quoted on this subject in that lecture room. Several of the brethern who lately spoke in a conference in Brooklyn confessed that they had strong prejudices against the practice; bt that these projudices had always yi J iment f alloi ' had a fair trial. A , yielded when thesjexwomen to speak had prejudice that dissol ves tn tears at the sound of a woman s voioe in prayer is hardly worth cultivating Ia U better tVr a man to die without a will than against it?

The Catholics. We believe we have a purer form of Christian faith than the Catholics. We are as certain of it as are they that ours is not a saving faith at all, but we should teach them Bore charity for us by accept ing them as a body of Christians who have their own providential mission in the world, as positive and as distinct as is that! or me rotestant Uhurch. The experi a -art, . ence of Engalnd in her attemps for two centuries to Protestantize the Catholic portion of Ireland, and the adhesion of the Catholic communion in this country to the Church of their fatherf, should teaeh us by this time, that the Christian faith of the cradle, whether it be Greek, Catholie or any one the hundred types and shades of Protestant belief, is, by a law of man's moral nature, the fact of bis maturity, and' tha fact of his old age. Only some great convulsion like that of the sixteenth century; whioh has had no successor, furnishes any general exception to this rule. Has any body any douM that it would be a great calamity to have the Irish population in this country lose their faith? Lo we want all our Catholic Uerman women and children to torninSdel? Is that better than that they worship in the Church of Feunelen and Pascal? Let us not forget that it has been declared by a higher wisdom than that of all Synodaand Councils, that 'with the heart' not the head, 'man believeth unto righteousness.' JTou are right about it the two systems Catholie aud Protestant are, as systems, -stoutly and irreconcilably aggressive against each other.' The one seeks an alliance with the State, and if successful does not hesitate to avow that it will crush out all dissent: No hierarchy would do otherwise that believer there is no salvation out side its own organization, and whioh has the power to enforce its will. How muoh danger there is that in this oountry seven millions real and nominal Catholics can overcome thirty millions real and nominal Protestants who represent more brain force, more intense individually, more love of persona! liberty to think and act independently upon every suljeot, religious, speculative, or political, than any other thirty millions that ever created or represented human institutions, every one must determine for themselves. The city of New York is certainly quite an island, but it may questioned whether its few miles long and a mile or two broad, can capture tUis continent. You have not over estimated the shameful charaoter of that prostitution of the Baptists of .New York, who for a sop that Cerberus would have scorned, have recognized the principle that the local municipal authoiity may grant at pleasure for denominational purpose, the public property. They knew none better than they that that power would be wielded, as it ever is, where it dares, selfishly, and that the Catholic Church would take the share of a whole jungle of lions, and Protestants not enough to keep a mouse from starving. The State of Illinois has set the example which every State should imitate ooostitutional prohibition of cession to religious denominations of public funds or property. It is the only safe, the only just rule. The Genius of our institutions cays to all systems of religion, .and to every shade of ecclesiasticism, 'hands off the State. Develop, on the voluntary principle, as and where you may. Build churches, build cathedrals, found schools, send your missionaries far and near, -convert the world to your faiths if you can, but remember that here the State has and shall have no alliance, direct or indirect, with the Church.' The great need of to-day is toleration and charity among Christians of every name. Men are not to be judged so muoh by their creeds, many of which are like the withered husks which conceal the preoious grain, as by their lives. 'By their fruits ye shall know them.' - It's all stuff What isl Why, dyspep sia. An early temper. riser the man with a short Fits peculiar to professional people benefits. Forgers to be encouraged.

If you add soua alone to a perfeotly sweet material, it has no more effect in making it ris than would so much salt. It will however, affect the flavor and color of the ma terial When using soda; be oareful to use only enough to neutraliza the acid. Some persons consider the use of soda at all in cookin? as nrsitini- :..: .-:.. Ihey labor under a mistake I think Where the alkali and acid are properly proportioned and eome together in the moist material, they completely neufrilize each other and form a compouctd liochelle salt the presence of which in small quantities is not perceptible nor is it considered unwholesome. When too much Boda has been used in broad or buiscuit.it is readily manifested by the color. In cookies or sponge cake it is not so easily detected, as the yellow tinge may be sapposed to be due to the egg used. I mm not thus deceived. The color given to cake and cookies by eggs is a bright, rich goldea yellow, while that from the use of too much soda is a dull, smutty, heavylooking yellow. There are those who consider the free use of soda as vera beneficial to health. They make a serious mistake. Soda is somstimes used as a medio cine, to correct acidity is the stomach. It is better at such times to take the quantity prescribed mixed in a little water, and not in the food.
