A Sea Sick Passenger,

On the ocean, cares little about a storm. He Is positively indifferent whether he i« washed overboard or not- But set right Wy a wineglassful or two of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, he feels renewed interest in his personal safety, This fine corrective neutralizes in brackish water-often compulsorily drank on shipboard, to the grievous detriment of health—>be pernicious impurities which give rise to disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. To the mariner, the tourist, the Weatern pioneer and miners, the Bitters is invaluable as a means of Crotection against malaria, when its seeds are itent in air and water. To the effect of overwork, mental or manual, it is a most reliable antidote, and to the debilitated and nervous it affords great and speedily felt relief and vigoi. The tenderest drum eoloe are those that have never been played. Just think of It! sllO >2 madejn one week by an agent representing B. F. Johnson & Co., of Richmond. Va., and they have had many more parties traveling for them who did equally well, some a good deal better. If you need employment it would be a good thing to sit down and write them a line at once.

How the President Receives Visitors. 1 Washington Letter to Philadelphia News. The President stands at or near the end of a large, flat desk, which is by a window overlooking the Potomac. A huge boquet of fresh and fragrant flowers is on the desk. As we enter, the President is leaning against this heavy table, with head slightly bowed and fingers of both hands toying somewhat nervously with the fob of his watchchain. He is dressed very plainly. His coat is a black Prince Albert, but on account of the shortness and fullness of the figure looks almost like a cutaway, so completely is the waistcoat exposed toview. Our view is a silhouette, and the plumpness of the President’s stomach, the extra shortness of his legs and neck, the bulging of his brow are all brought into strong light. Presently he turns half round and toys with an eraser which li.es on his desk, and we notice that his legs are just a trifle curved from the feet to the thighs, being widest apart at the knees. He has been listening impatiently to what his caller had to say—probably a story now retold for the twentieth time—and now he makes reply. He is apparently in earnest, for he gesticulates first with one hand and then with the other, and finally_with_beth as if he were making a public address. But there is no temper or feeling about it, for as soon as he has said his say be grasps the caller's hand, and, with a shake that is quick and strong, almost, military in its sweep of the arm, bids the man good-day.
