Win. Tiinmons, postmaster of Idaville,
Ind., writes: "Electric Bitters has done
morel'or me than all other medicines combined, -for that bad feeling arising from
Kidney and Liver trouble." John Leslie,
farmer and stockman, of same place, says:
*'Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like
a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware
merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters
is just the thing for a man that is all rim

or dies; he found new strength, good appetite and felt just like he had a new lease

Conius were lit up by electric lights
adding much to their beauty. The
streets were filled with people and children, dressed in all manner of styles, all
wearing false faces, it being impossible
to tell any one. It is well worth one's
time to see this carnival and city, as it
differs in many respects from any other
city. Its sewerage is on top of
the ground, it has no cellars and even
thedead are buried on top of theground.

-went into one which contained 120 bodies. Some are very fine, costing S30,-
000 and §40,000 each, which will hold a
family of ten or twelve bodies. Mrs.
Nichols thinks this a great improvement
on our way of burying. The reason
they do so is that they cannot dig down
three feet without finding grater.
It doesn't seem possible I am in the
same world. I received a letter from
home saying it snowed last Tuesday.
That day being toy birthday, my little
girl went out in the yard and picked
TneaboQuetof flowers. It was 82 in
the shade. I am afraid she will not
have an opportunity of doing so soon
again. It seems as if I had suffered
more with the beat since we have been
here than I did all last summer. Children are running barefooted, ladies
wearing white dresses, gentlemen linen
coats and white vests. When we walk
out, we are sure to select the shady
side of the street. Mosquitoes and Hies
are plenty.
We htpe a lovely boarding place,
formerly a planter's mansion. There
are all kinds of flowers in the yard, also
orange and banana trees. My wife aud
Zoa picked a basket full of oranges from
the trees which the lady gave us to
bring home. Tha city is one mass of
roses aud flowers.
I ha%*e many strange things to tell
you when home. I feel that tha pleas-
antestpartof our trip has just commenced. You will see by the heading
of my letter that we are on board of
the elegant steamer, Golden Hule. We
left New Orleans last night at 5 p. m.,
have not a large number of passengers,
thirty-three in number, but all jolly
and social. This gives us quite a water
ride, being 1,461 miles to Cincinnati.
We expect to arrive there March 4th
or oth. We stop at all of the principal
cities, such as Baton Rouge, Natchez,
Vicksburg, Greenville,Memphis,Cairo.
Fvansville, Louisville, Vevay, and
many small places. We are stopping
at a great many large sugar plantations
taking on molasses, the clerk told me
to-day that we had over 1,200 barrels
on board. In a few days we will get
into the cotton district.
I -wish some of my friends could be
here to enjoy the pleasure of this trip
with us. We have a minister among
our fellow passengers. This evening
we had services with singing, etc.,
which was very impressive. We all
feel and act like a large family. We
have several musicians and do not lack
for music. All kind of games, even
tiddledy winks. Our living is simply
grand, wish I could send you a bill of
fare. There are few hotels that compare ii-ith It. I will try and give you
what we had for dinner as near as I can
remember. Soup, roast turkey, beef,
veal, soft shell crab, oyster patties and
a half dozen other dishes that I cannot
think of, new potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, lettuce, greens, etc.;
for dessert, xnes, ice cream and cake,
bananas, oranges and apples. Don't
you wish you were here now? Every
meal is as fine as dinner. The great
trouble is, one has to be very careful
or they will get sick on such high living.
We try to walk three or four miles a
day on the upper deck for exercise. It
is almost impossible as some one is after you to sing, dance or play some
game. These steamers are floating palaces with all the comforts imaginable,
even to a barber shop.
I hope I have not wearied you with
this long letter. I trust some day that
I may prevail on you and yours to take
the same trip so you can enjoy what is
impossible for me to write.
Yours very truly,
H. T. Nichols and Family.
