Walker's California Vin egar Bitten are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na tive herbs found on the lower ranges of tte Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, " What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit TEtts?" Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re covers his health. They are the great blood purifier aud a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Iuvigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vixkgar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to.

AN EXTRAORDINARY 8TORYOF CRIME AND RETRIBUTION, - NOW FIRST PUBLISHED. LEAF FROM A LAWYERS' DIARY. The following graphic and remarkable 1 nam tire has been obtained by as from a prominent lawyer in one of the Eastern Kentucky counties. The facts in it have not before been published, bat for their entire accuracy the reputation of the wri- ter will vouch. Ed. Cour. Jour I In 1865 I was the State's Attorney in the f-I judicial district of Ken tucky. 1 had gone to the county of 0- one of the counties in the district for the purpose of being present at the prosecu tion of the criminals. There had been no court held in that count v since 1861. ow ing to the civil war. I found everything in the worst confusion possible. Men had Deen murdered in cold blood, and nothing was none wun mem. Murder, arson, robbery and all the crimes in the cata- o 7 w mm nun impunity, i auu me maieiactors nan gone unwhipped and that he had assisted Mosely in bury of justice, owing to the absence of law. in Balknan. I told Colhv tn kern hia T: . . . . iunug n war everyming was anarchy ; there was neither safety to women nor muowui. Buuuren an Buttered alike. Tvoeu it was Known mat mere would be a circuit court neia in tbat conntv. the news attracted a very large crowd. un Monday morning, November 8th, 1865, 1 found a large crowd in 13 me county seat of O . Men, women and children came, some thirty miles. uruenuas ana Dusnwnackers came with their guiis and pistols, as if to overawe tne court, and determined that none of their gang should be indicted for tlje nu merous murders of which they had been guilty. Court opened, aud the Sheriff returned his list of a grand jury. The vyouri instructed mem as to their duty ; they were sworn and sent to their rooms 1 bad determined in my own mind that every person that had been eruiliv of a felony or misdemeanor in O county should be regularly indicted, if I conld in any way obtain the evidence agaiust them. There was a case, that was shrouded in mystery. A young man, who was the pride of a widowed mother, had suddenly disappeared from the county about two years before, and had uever been heard from. Mis name was Charles Belkuap; he was an ouly child; handsome, finely educated, and as brave as a lion. I made m - f sf dilligent inquiry. I had about one hun dred witnesses summoned. I examined them closely, aud when I dismissed them I warned them to tell no oue what tran spired in the grandjury room. In that way I hoped to keep the real murderers in the dark as te what I doing. was I could only gather the following cir- cumsiauces in me case: mat vouncr a. l t . . m i Belknap had left his home in June, 1863, and was riding a very . fine horse, with i 500 in his ,t possession. Me failed to return at night, and his mother became very uneasy about him and the next mor mng set pnt to make inquiries concerning him. She went to the house of Sauire mosely, w no lived about nve miles from her, a leading man in the county, and L 1 .. I a i mm a toia ner story ana made inquiries con cerning her son. The Squire told her that her son was at his house the day be fore and left in the direction of the town of B. ; that he left about 10 o'clock in the morning, of him. 1 his was all she could hear No one else had seen him, and she returned home a broken-hearted mother. She made inquiries of every person ; every stranger that passed was interrogated, but all in vain. She still keot un her search for her miss'iner bov. and about twelve months after he had so . o - -rf J mysteriously disappeared she was ret ur ning home from one of her searches and met 'Squire Mosely. The 'Sauire tuld her he had heard from her boy; that he Sfc i . m a. was in Iowa. He had received a letter from him, and that he would be at home soon ; that he had the letter at home, occ. Lee) this heroic sand of only 1.000 beat ra 11-11, . j: .i : '.I. . ..... .. ... J . , Mrs. Belknap went directly to the 'Squire's house without communicating her mten tion to him, and inquired of the family for me letter that the 'Squire had received from her long-lost boy. The family seem ed surprised, aad knew nothing about such a letter having been received. i nis was all the evidence 1 could get as to the probable fate of her son. What was I to do? I went to my room and stud ieu over tne matter. now could l say mat young Belknap bad been murdered ? Mis body had not been found ; and who would dare to accuse Squire Mosely of such a crime I I lay in my bed that nisrht SF thinking over the circumstances, and it was near; 4 o'clock in the morning when I S.ll 11, . V 4-1 1 T I ibii 8iep. a siept until o o-ciock. I got up, wuueu auu uresseu my sen inuy de termined to indict Squire Mosely for the crime of murder. I went to the grand jury room, directly after eating a hearty Dreatiast. i, told tbe foreman what my intentions were, I drew np the indictment, accusing squire Mosely of the crime of murder, committed as follows, viz : The said Sqnire Mosely, on the day of August, 1863, ia tbe connty of J did feloniously and with malice afore- tuougui am ana maruer vnanes Deianap by shooting him with a gun loaded with a leaden ballet, against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth of Ken tucky." I presented the indictment to the grand jury, and they endorsed it a true bill. I cautioned the members of the jury to say nothing about what we had done, but to keep the whole thing secret, and if before the court adjourned nothing turned up to fix the crime on the Squire, that we could destroy the indictment. The grand jury i found indictment against eighteen persons for murder, and so secretly was it man aged that the sheriff had them all in jail at once. U The indictine of so many persons nat urally produced great excitement among me citizens. l went to my room that night and double-locked my door, exami ned my pistol and pat it under the head of my bed. About 12 o'clock I heard a knock at mv door : I demanded tn kMB who was there. A person answered "a friend," I got up, lit a lamp, took my pis tol in my sand and opened the door. A stranger stepped in. I closed the door and demanded his basin ess. He seemed very much frightened, and easting a has ty glance around the room to satisfy himself that then was no other person in the room except myself, he told me that his name was Colby, and stated that he wanted to communicate a very important fact to me concerning the fate of young Belknap. L told him to proceed. He wanted tolnow whether he could turn State's evidence or not and save himself. I replied in told m that the affirmative. He then told ma that he knew where young Belk nap vos buried, that 'Squire Mosely had killed him, and got $1,500 from his person, and had run Belknap's horse off ant soiu nun to some vonieueraie soiaiers, o r - : : r . seat in my room, that he sbonld not be hurt : and 1 went out, hunted up the sheriff and told him to get eight or ten reliable men and brine them to mv room He. did so I then took the sheriff and Colby into a room and made Colby repeat his story over to that officer. I then directed the sheriff to produce a sack and take Colby and the men he had brought with him and go and get the bones of young Belknap and bring them to my room that night. The sheriff did as i directed him When court convened the next morning, and as i stenoed into the court room, 'Squire Mosely was the first man I saw. I had the grand jury called, and they presented the indictment agaiust 'Sqnire Mosely tor murder. reople looked at one another in blaak amazement, and look ed incredulous. Squire Mosely marched up t o the bar and demanded a trial then ; that the charge was a base fabrication and false. I whispered to the sheriff to bring j the sack. Me did so. 1 told him to emp ty the contents on a beuch in front of 'Squire Mosely ; and as the bones of the murdered man fell out upon the bench, they seemed to sound the death-knell of the man. II o looked the picture of de sp.nr, and dropped in his seat and cover ed his face with his hands. I announced to the court that all that was mortal of Charles Belknap was then in court and I was ready to proceed with the trial. Excitement rau high, the mob shrieked and howled "Hang him ! hang him !" and the court was powerless to protect the miserable man. Tke mob, with the moth er of young Charles Belkuap at their head, forcibly took the trembling culprit out of the custody of the sheriff and hung him to a limb of the nearest tree. Before he swung off he acknowledged his gnilt. And as I passed by his lifeless form swinging from the limb of that tree I was forcibly reminded of the legal phrase, "Murder will out." Lee's Last Campaign. A Touching Recollection of Southern Va lor and Devotion. At a meeting of the Virginia Division of the survivors of the Army of Northern Virginia, Col. Venable made substantial ly the following address, the report of which we take from the Richmond Dia patch : "When, in the early days of May, 1864, Grant crossed the river with 140,000 men, General Lee could command less than 52,000 of all arus, and yet he boldly marched to attak him, having in hand when he first struck Gran's only 26,000 men. He gave a vivid picture of the battle on the plank road, fought on the evening of the 5th of May, between Wilcox s and Heath's divisions, of A. P. Hill's corps whan fonder the immediate eve of Gen. back the 40,000 with which Hancock made repeated assails upou them He also spoke of E well's splendid sue cess on the old tnrn-pike, where, with 16,000 men, he had driven back. War ren's corps, and illustrated the unexpected boldness of lien. Lee s strategy by quot iner the remark of Gen. Meade wbeu the columns came into collision : "They have left a division to fool us here while they concentrate and prepare a position on the North Anna ; and what I want is to prevent these fellows from getting back to Miue Run TT v; virile tPtnrd the battle at the next morning, when Hill's two divisions, which had become aware that they were to be relieved by Longstreet, and we were not in the best fighting trim, were vio lently assaulted before Longstreet had come up, and a portiou of them had been w forced back several hundred yards, when Longstreet's men double-quicked a mile and a half, and went into the fight with tho wildest cheering and enthusiasm, lie gave the correct version of that splendid heroic incident of Gregg's Texas brigade pausing in their advance as they saw thier loved leader eoing into the fight, and vociferating "Go back General Le ; go back General Lee : and told how conn deuce was restored at once to Hill's brave men. the whole line swept forward, the flank attack was made, and Hancock was driven back in a confusion that would pro bably have resulted in utter route but for the unforrunate wounding of bongstree iust at this juncture He told the story of Grant's flank movement to Spotsylvania Court House, and now splendidly Smart with his cavalry (assisted by part of Anderson's infantry, held in check overwhelminjr numbers nn til Genreal Lee could get into position. He then gave an account of the repulse of Hancock by Hem's division, under Early in its attentat to tarn Lee's flank, and the terrible result which Kershaw's and Field's divisions gave the enemy in their repeated attacks on thier lines, even though the odds against them were fully five to one. He gave striking incidents illustrating the heroism of our men in these fights. He gives the account of the breaking of Rhodes' lines on the 10. h. and tells of the gallant style in which they re-took them, under i he eye and in the immediate presence of General Lee. whom the troons again begged to the rear. He gave the details of the disaster to Johnson's divis ion on the memorable 12th May (exonerat ing mat noble old Koman from all blame), by which we lost three thousand prison ers and eighteen pieces of artillery ; and told of the splendid courage by which a new line just in the rear was farmed, against which the blue waves dashed in vain. He gave an incident of Harris' Mis sisisppi brigade to go into fight with Gen eral Lee, and brought out the point that this incident occurred several time fen this campaign, and that General Lee, when written to after the vtr about it, only mentions one (in reply to a direct question) so modes, and unpretending was he, that sueh ineideuu were regarded by him as of minor importance. He claimed that while others did most noble service, Rhodes and Ramseur were the real heroes of that memorable 12th of May. He said that in reply to the question frequently asked why General Lee sent the Government no telegram about the battle of the 12th, that he did send a tele gram that evening. He then sketched the further progress of the campaign by which Lee foiled Grant at the North Anna, gave him a crushing defeat at Cold Harbor, and finally forced him to lay siege to Petersburg, which he might have done at the begin ning of the campaign without the loss of a single man. This narrative is interspersed with touching and valuable historic incidents, which we regret our want of space will not allow ns to give; but this mill all doubtless be published in full, and will give the future historian invaluable ma terial. Report of Dr. Gr isson. We have received a copy of the 4Re port of the Road of Directors and Super ntendent of the Insane Asylum for the official year ending Oct. 31st, 1873. We propose to make some extracts frem the report of the Superintendent, He says : 1 be total namber of admissions ince the opening of the Asylum on the 22nd day of February, 1856, is 1043 ; total number of discharges for the same time is 801 ; of whom 262 were cured ; 95 im proved ; 170 nnimproved : 274 died ; eaviog now nnder treatment 242. Under the whole number of admissions. the per ccntage of cures has been, 23 ; of improved, 12 ; of unimproved, 21 per cent ; of deaths, 34 per cent. At the close of my last report there were in the Asylum 119 males, and 114 females. Of the numerous applications tor admissions, we have been able to make room for only 33 males and 17 females. The whole number under treatment dur ing the year was 152 males and 131 fe males, making a total of 283. There bas been 28 males and 13 fe males discharged during the year : of these 22 males and 6 females were cured ; 1 female in a stationary condition ; and 8 males and 5 females died." we "Upon the number of admissions dors ing the year, the percentage of discharges was 82 ; of cn res, 36 ; of improved, 14 ; of unimproved, 6 . of deaths, 26. Here is a summary of calculations mane. "1st. The curses upon admission 36 per cent. 2nd. The cures upon discharge of 44 per cent. 3rd. 1 he deaths upon the nnmber nn der treatment of 4 per cent. vi ioe aamissious aunog ,ne year, me cause ot disease is reported to nave reporvca to nave been mental in 8 eases, physical in 24 ; and unknown in 18. The form was mania in 31 cases, epileptic mania in 4 ; melancholia iu 9, and dementia in 6." m "Of those charges improved the sup posed cause we physical in every case. The duration before admissions averaged 13 months. The time under treatment was less than one year in two coses, and from two to nearly six years in the others. Of tho unimproved discharges the cause was physical in one ease and unknown in two. Tbe form was mania in oil. The duration before admission 10 months in one case, unknown in one, and 5 years in one. The time in the Asylum from 14 to 15 years. Of the deaths the cause of in sanity was physical in 6 coses, mental in 4, and unknown in 4. The form of the mental disease was mania in 9 coses, im becility in 1, epileptic mania in 2, and dementia in 1." o o o o "One remarkabie and melancholy feal tare of insanity in this State pereentibl upon the pe renal of the foregoing tabuiar statements. The overwhelming prepon derance of chronic mental disease, of those under treatment here as well as the applications for admission on file, over the acute cases present suggestion of a serious character. Perhaps not more than 10 per cent, of our present household, aud a smaller proportion even of the sev eral hundred applications now pending, the history of whose cases hove been for warded and placed on fiile, eon, with any confidence be pronounced curable." "During the year 263 applications, made or renewed by friends or county authori- ties, have been refused for want of room. i "While insanity, when acute and re cent, is known to be as a general rule curable, when chronic it becomes one of he most incurable of all diseases at all amenable to treatment. Any alterant on the part of tbe State to save monev bv failing to provide for the early treatment of all its insane, or of individual and families to delay till die necessity becomes urgent, is poor economy and worse philan thropy. This mistaken policy has already filled the land with a class of dependent and incurable sufferers who are a burden to themselves, a terror to their families, and an expense to the public, and whom noth ing can relieve for the present bat death, or diminish for tbe fatnre. but amnla sb commodations and timely treatment." m According to the lost census there are 779 insane in the State, which is about 1 to every 1,300 of oar population ; of these 242 are, here, while 537 are eattered throughout the State in jails, poor-houses and private families." Last Visrit to lington. The New York World well aays there are few modern incidents more full of simple pathos than the quiet visit which Mrs. Mary Cnstis Lee paid to her old homestead of Arlington, about three weeks, before her death. Mrs. Lea had not pnt in words her heart's longing for the place endeared to her by so many bright associations. Daring the General's lifetime she had said not a word about her confiscated estate, and after bis death she did no more than consent that a modest petition should be sent np to Congress asking that the judgment that deprived her of her ancient home for no fault of her own shonld at any rate be examined into, even it it could not be revised It was thought that she took this and aiap lor me goou ot ner children, not because she had anv nerson.il . L .1 1 r iii feeling in the matter. But when she felt ' j i tbe hand of death begin to tighten upon ner, sue painfully left tbe seclusion to which ten years of rheumatic fever had confined her, slowly and with sad inter est revisited the old homestead and the scenes of her youth and womanhood, gazed upon that which she had loved so well and longed for in silence and resignation, and then went quietly back to Lexington to die. It will add a pang to the sense of loss which her friends have for this eracious lady, of such no- A m . bility of character and patience in afflic - tion, to feel that to her other erriefs was joined this unavailing yearning for the Qid bo me she conld not come back to a yearning not put in words nor suspected until expressed by that most pathetic i .i a . . aT leavcxtaxiog on tbe eve of death. Love, Marriage and Divorce. Ex Mayor Hsll lectured in New York last week on Love, Marriage and Divorce. 'There are two kinds of love," said Mr Hall; "love at first-sight and love at fore- fight. The latter is, perhaps, not so quick, but it is more lasting." The lecturer ad vised the young ladies to beware of the man who has to argue with her that be loves her. He was a firm be liver in tbe doctrine that a women may marry whom ever she chooses, if she sets her cap to catch a particular man, provided the man meets ber half-way. There are 2,16 lines in Shakespeare in wbieb tbe word love is mentioned. Tbe poets who have always lived the happiest ore those who havs written tbe least of love. William Cnllcn Bryant was the only exception. A falls in love as he falls dowu stairs by accident One is more reckless in this question of life than on soy other subject. ject, and yet it is the question that affects the whole future existence of man, and woman too. I a Fi divorce is uuknown, and the inner social life of the French attest that they ore the happiest people on the face of the globe. A THaiLLirro Saloox Episode. The New York Tribune tells the following story : A man named Weibold entered aaloon in India atrwt nVnnltlvn V. ll ; lMt Saturday, and called for a glass of beer. After drinkine. be seated himself in a chair in the centre of the room, and soon after began to stare at tbe proprietor, who imagined tbe customer to be deeply engaged in thought. The saloon keeper desiring to go ont, asked the visitor to attend to his affairs iu bis absence, and although there was no reply, be took it for granted that his rcqest would be complied with ; and immediately left the saloon. A little while afterward be re turned, and the visitor still oat upright and motionless near the table. The brew er who supplied the restau ant keeper with beer soon afterword came in and invited all hands to drink. The keeper, becoming enraged at his indifference, came from behind the counter, pulled him out of his chair, dragged him to tbe bar and shoved a glass of beer toward him . As tbe proprietor withdrew his hand from tbe collar of the visitor , tbe latter sank to the floor, and the startling discovery was made that Weibold wss dead, lie bad probably expired immebistely after drink ing the glass of beer, and had been a corpse more than an hour. Coroner Y bitehall sin n a- held an inquest in the ease, and it was ascertained that Weibold died of heart disease. Thk Bar Association of New York has passed resolutions recommending tho people to vote for tbe amendment to the Constitution, providing that judges here after boappoiuted by the Governor and Senate , and not elected by the people. The Times and Tribune also favor tho ameudment. Republican newspapers in the interior of tho States are divided on the question. Why the South is Poor.
