M A R K U S ' GESli These bitters are manufactured by the pro­ prietor from GKRMAN ROOTS, imported bv him. The receipt of these Bitters was obtained by the proprietor in 1«W, from an old and experienced physician (then a phy­ sician in the Prussian armv), and a graduate "f the highest medical colleges of Germany. These Hitters are Guaranteed to cure the se­ verest cases of DIARRHOEA, INDIGESTION,. DYSPEPSIA, and are a certain preventative of FEMALE SIOKXESS, CHILLS AND FEVER, AM) AG ITE, Diarrhom is a disease characterized by an increased discharge from the Bowels, usually IK a very liquid state, and sometimes contain­ ing a large quantity of Bile.. Besides the vari­ ous purgative medicines, undressed or indi- gestable food, or vegetables, acid fruits, oily or putrid substances frequently cause Diarr. luea, Physicians distinguish various kinds of Diarrli«?a, as (craptilosa) when the forces pass offprdlnarv qualitj-; "bil'osa" when the bile Is more abundant than natural; "mucosa" when the excrements contain a quantity of mucus; •'serosv" in which thev are almost entlrelv liquid and watery; ami "licuteria" when the food passes through the body in an almost tin altered state, There are frequentlv, also nausea and vomiting, a bitter taste 'in the. mouth, a furred and yellow tongue, drv and harsh skin, a full or sallow countenance, and If speedly checked, great emaciation, This Is one of tijose diseases by means of which na­ ture strives to tret rid of impurities, and re­ store the system to its natural condition. Hence, when it is not verv violent, and the patient is strong, it is best to lot it take Its course for a short time, and by taking only two wiiio glasses full of the Bitters for the first ten hours. For violent cases five wine glasses full per day, one'before each meal and two between meals. In anv case great care should be taken not to stop it too suddenly. The treatment thus in all cases depends upon the cause from which it sprang. For Indigos, tion and Dyspepsia'take one wine glass full of the Bitters before each meal.

It may be you hare mistaken yo^r calling; if so, find it out as quick as possible, and change it; but don't let any uneasy desire to get along fast, or a dislike of your honest calling lead you to abandon it. TTave some honest occupation, and stick to it; if you are sticking types, stick away at them; if you are selling oysters, keep on selling them; if you are at the law, hold fast to that profession; pursue the business you have chosen, persistently, industri ousfy, and hopefully, and if there i anything of you it will appear and turn to account iu that as well or better than in any other calling; onij' if you are a loafer, forsake that line as speed­ ily as possible, for the longer you stick to it,the worse it will."stick" you.

Passing through Utah, Terrace* Sta­ tion, 123 miles from Ogden, is quite a pleasant looking place, situated on a level plateau and surrounded by exten­ sive mountain ranges. The Railroad Company lias shops and engine house here. Land yet barren; no signs of cultivation. On leaving Terrace we run amongst genuine Western scenery, extensive plains dotted with rocky islands, and as the clear sun rises, cast­ ing its golden shine on the panorama, we are treated to a rare sight, but oh how barren. One of our passengers says he actually saw a black crow full dead flying over, with huuger. This of course we must take with a grain of allowance, yet it Is an apt illustration ot the region. I have several times mused, since we left Sacramento, upon the probable profit of the Railroad Company, from the numerous acres do­ nated to it by "Uncle,Sam" for the building of the road. V^Ve know of an acre or two, Kit least, on our route, that we surmise will be sometime ere it de­ clares a dividend. But no matter^per- haps it will pay as wild scenery. If some big show man like Baruum should buy it and let it at "two bits" a sight, it might do something in that line. Outside of this I know of no earthly show of a profit from this region to the owners. We are now at Kelton, a station at the extreme head of the Great Salt Lake, where we see vast herds of sheep that look fine. The sheep business is undoubtedly a profitable business here. Along the road for some distance back we saw many heads dotting the plain. We must here admit our entire Inabili­ ty to give you even a faint Idea of the grand appearance of this region this morning, as it appears to us under the Hale of Old So). All we can say is* it is truly grand and magnificent. Kelton is the first of the Mormon villages on our way, 790 miles from San Francisco. There is nothing peculiar in its appear­ ance. It is on nearly a level with the Lake. We see here some Mormon huts, some with two and three doors, representing the number of wives in the mansion. up quite a heavy grade. We are now going down the east gide of the Lake. The valleys and hills here are covered with young stock. From the appear­ ance of the bunch grass I should Judge the country well adapted to grazing purposes. Promontory is the spot where the "golden spike" was driven connecting the Central Pacific with the Union Pacific Railroad. The last 10 miles of track we passed oVer on the Central Pacific was laid in one day. So say the sign boards put up at each end of the said distance. This place is 53 miles west from Ogden and at quite an elevation from the Lake. Here stand some of the formidable Snow Plows used for removing the snow blockades from the track. CORIXNE.--This is quite a large Gen- tfle town, 857 miles fr'om San Francisco and 24 from Ogden. It is situated at the foot of the Wasatch Mountainsrand has a population of 600 inhabitants. There Is a great deal of business done here, A Narrow Gauge Railroad runs from here to Franklin in Idaho, 60 miles, the Utah Northern. It is a Morman institution, owned and con­ trolled by the fraternity. Its intended destination eventually is Montana. This town is also a supply depot for mule trains for Virginia, Idaho, Mon­ tana and other outside points. It is amusing to see those mules, with three or four large wagons attached, strung out, forming a train nearly as long as our own. We cross Bear River here quite a large stream, OGDEN.--Got here Sunday eve., about 5 o'clock. Ogden has grown to be quite a city. It has grown since we were here 3 years ago. Sorry we have not time to walk through the town. Oflf we go on the 5 o'clock train, out through the famous Weber Caiiypu and up along the river of the same name. Tlie scenery here is the grandest on the Union Pacific. The mountain here opens as it were for the passage of the river, and as the eye glances upward the mind is awed with the great Works of nature. Here we see the Devil's Gate, Hoping Peak, the Devil's Slide,Castle Rock, Ac., all won> derful scenery, and described by tonr- ests heretofore. I must say the Mormons have im­ proved materially within the las': three years. All along the base of the Wasatch Range is thickly settled and houses are so near to each other chat at distance they appear a continuous street for miles and miles. We saw several young Mormons, and must say that we were most agreeably surprised at their appearance. Whether it is Poligamy or the olimate we must say that them the picture of health nml rob»w«t- ness. The young men and women am as fine a looking lot of lads and lasses, I venture to say, as yon can find in the United States and as for dress they know the value of it here a* well as in more fashionable parts of our land. ' After leaving Weber Canyon we pip# on through several stations, and through wild, dreary and uninhabited regions, covered with snow, presenting no signs of habitation except the few Railroad stations along the track, ToJJconceive what purpose this region will he tnrned to in the future for the benefit of man we are at loss. We see no fiockR of sheep nor herds of cattle rotming those plains, nor neither do we know that they could make an existence here. The indications, however, are rather unfavorable. . •• [TO Coirrnrrwfcl Written lor the PlJUirMAMn|. OUR BOY. Likes generate likes, so they do, if we except one product of nature, i. e. oar mutual friend the mule, who got mixed up somehow leastway In the throat, for its papa never used to talk like that. But this is an exception to tlie general ri|le and we will attribute It to dtronie hoarseness and a cold birthday. Let us now pass on to the "chip of the old block," the flesh of our fie sit, our youthful rib, the family sapling, the lively shoot off the parent stump the addled egg of the domestic blanket, tltie trophy of reciprocal love, the pledge of warm affections, onr first born in fact. Was there ever such a paragon of beauty, such a marvelous admixture of flesh and bones, sucfe brains and finger nails, such * * * well, he can't be beat, neither should k? be, for no pains were spared on hla behalf, not a pinch of salt or blade of mace overlooked In the .•onjinMu re­ ceipt book. He's no common slouch of a boy. He's a going to be President or dry goods clerk, a book agent, con* ductor, or an Episcopalian minister Meanwhile we annolnt him with braitt buttons, a scotch cap, knee breeches, striped socks, a speller and a stick of candy and lie prepares to fight the world. Our little Tommy never tells a lic,f never throws dirt down a poor man's chimney, never cheats at marbles, never- tlekles the llttle gfrt at tip school desk, never steals another little boys dinner, never told the school ma'am he'll punch her darned head and he never tied a bunch of fire crackers to the Thomas cat's tail. We don't thin); he did, and he don't think it either. But he did. And If other little boya tells us unpleasant truths, we swltck them off and give their papa a blade eye or otherwise mash him up if hefe' tongey abont it, for Tommy wouldn't say it ain't so if it was so. When oar boy, however, is cornered in a good square lie, Pop cocks up his eye anil chuckles for he sees here the counterfeit^ of his-own flesh, calls him a little ras­ cal a little wititess box and thinks him.' cusstJd smart. Our boy. Who's boy?: For you can't always tell. He may be : Poppy's or Mammy's or both, or he may be a child of mystery a sort of family aerolite, the product Of some long tailed comet. If, however. Poppy is nosey and Tommy is noseyt why^. that's Poppy's boy. If Tommy's eyea converge into the bridge of his nose and Pop's look that way also, he'a Poppy's boy of course. If Tommy haa ' a baulky tendency to shirk school, to*' hook lump sugar offthe pantry, to hook on to box wagons on the public road, to hook jack knives and trade them olf, * to hook on to a smaller hoy, becans» „ he's a smaller boy, and pitch him in the mud, and Pop use to be just so, why he*» Poppy's boy and he's proud of him in proportion to »he public assurance that the boy is the very spit of him. If on the other hand Tommy develops a strong tendency to tell all he knowf* to blow off seorets like soap bubbles and kisses, to know everybody's aflaim but his own, to love other little boj|i when they're at home and call theiia. darned fools when they're gone away. If he hasred hair, freckles, a big wa and a little turned up nose and Mamm used to bo and is even now like that, why then, he's Mammy's boy4 and she'll back him up with nail and broonistloi| against allcomers until Tommy getf?J will pledged in feathers and can asserfe, his own virtues with fist or kniieki#, duster.
