SALISBURY & CO., - Proprietors.
The Chicago Times says Hooker, of
Mississippi, is a candidate for Speaker of
the next House.
Conundrum of the Dax.—What is
Eight to Seven’s Southern policy? He

And now Eliza Pinkston ! The Paokard
Legislature gratefully reoollects her valua
ble services and have brought in a bill

Mas. Jackson of Boston spends her
time in collecting money with which to

that city during the past hard winter.
The note of Gen. Devens to Gen. Gib
son denying that he had sent any dis
patch to Packard, such as that read by

oeived by a friend of Gen. Gibson’s in
New Orleans.
His Fraudulency has decided to abolish
the old praotice of having visitors at the
White House receptions introduced by

This will make Mr. Fred. Douglass’ work

Hon. S. S. Cox.—This distinguished
Congressman and humorist lectures in
Macon Tuesday night on “Irish Humor.”
To Thursday night three hundred tickets
were sold. Cannot citizens induce Mr.
Cox to visit our city? They must aot

San Francisco has three princely resi
dences. Leland Stanford’s cost a round
$2,000,000. The total outlay on the res
idence of Charles Crooker will amount to
about $2,300,000. Mark Hopkins’ resi*
dence, which is the most elaborate in de
sign, will have cost when finished nearly
$3,000,000.
Prof. Gold win Smith writes an article
in McMillan's Magazine. He foresees
the colored people of the South must be*
oome politically dependent, and adds :
“You cannot alwayshold a bayonet under
the chin of the black man to keep his
head politically on a level with that of the
white.”
Congressman Blount. — We stated
souse time ago that Col. Jas. H. Blount
was one of the party of Southern Sena
tors and Congressmen, it was said, oalled
on Hayes after his arrival in Washington.
We now learn frocji good authority that
OoL Blount did not call as stated, and
as we wish to be entirely accurate in all
our statements we make this correction.
We oertainly did not wish to plaoe the
able Representative of the Sixth District
in a wrong position.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, speaking of the Commis
sion to the South, says: “The objeot of
such on embassy is to save to the Repub
licans, local and national, certain, offices
in and for South Carolina and Louisiana
to whioh they have no shadow of right,
and which it is hoped the harassed people
of these two States will concede for the
sake of getting a part of that whole whioh
justice would accord to them without cavil
or delay.”
The friends of Colonel Mosby are press
ing his claims for appointment as an as
sistant to the Attorney General. He is
indorsed by many of the most influential
Republicans in the country, and his pri
vate character and legal attainments are
vouched for by prominent Virginians of
both parties, among them Senators Withers
and Johnston and Judge William J. Rob
ertson. His Fraudulency is known to be
favorably disposed towards his claim for
appointment.
General Peter C. Johnston, an elder
brother of General Joseph E. Johnston,
died at the residence of Senator John
ston, his nephew, at Abington, Va., on
Wednesday. He was born in Prince Ed
ward county, 1793, served as an officer of
volunteers in the war of 1812, and was a
member of the Convention in 1861. He
for many years oocnpied the position of
Commonwealth’s attorney of Lee county,
and was known as one of the best land
lawyers in this section.
Sugar is now made from ordinary corn.
Specimens of raw sugar manufactured
near Chicago are shown both white and
very sweet. According to an exchange
to complete its manufacture into pure,
granulated sugar, alcohol must be used to
remove the foreign matter contained in the
crude product. A bushel of oom yields
thirty pounds of raw sugar, and this, when
purified by alcohol, gives twenty-seven
pounds of good sugar, marketable at four
cents a pound. In other words, a bushel
of corn made into sugar would bring
$1.08.
Bradley's Man Haxes.—This man
who scoured the place he occupies by the
grace of Returning Boards of the coun
try should never be called President by
the Democratic press of the country. We
never intend doing so. This is in ac
cordance with the action of our party.
The Democrats in the House of Repre*
sentives voted him a fraud, and the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee declared
him the same and requested that the fact
be prominently kept before the people.
We will do our share of the assistance.
We believe in calling men by their oor-
rect titles, and his Fraudulency is the
only one which will apply properly to
Hayes—or at least it will answer until a
better one is found.
An Estate Swallowed.
New York Evening Mall.]
Probably the most remarkable, if not
ontrageous, case of the swallowing of a
large estate by creditors and lawyers that
has ever occurred in this city is that of
the James B. Taylor property. When
Mr. Taylor died he was supposed to have
left at least half a million over all liabil
ities. Whatever there was,it has all gone
to claimants and counsel; and yesterday
the widow’s wardrobe, worth $3,000, was
■old for less than $500, to satisfy the
claim of the well-known rich contractor,
Charles Devlin.
Corruption in our National affairs has
the same effect on the Government that a
severe oough or cold has upon the human
system. Political reform in the former
and Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup in the latter
case will remedy the evils. At the drug
gist’s 25 cents.
BROKEN
MORE OF HAYES
PLEOGM.
Eight to Seven declared to a Republi
can yesterday that he had never promised,
nor given permission to his friends to do
so, that he would immediately remove
troops from South Caroline end Louisi
ana. We wonder what his intimates,
Matthews and Foster, will have to say.
Now Senators Gordon, Lamar and several
Congressmen of Louisiana and other
Southern States have had a number of
interviews with his Fraudulency. Their
report, as conveyed by the Southern Press
Agent, has universally .been that Bradley’s
man has so talked as to oonvey the im
pression that he would take off his dogs
of war from those States. The South will
believe their statements before they will
numberless assertions from Bradley’s man.
They are incapable of falsifying or de
ceiving their constituents. Hayes most
have purposely misled them, or they
would never have been induced
to believe what they did, and to
which impression they have given
publicity. Mr. Hayes has proven himself
as* great a fraud as the means by whioh
he obtained hit present position. He
a trimmer of the first water. His state
ments are too thin. They won’t wash.
He still prates about his policy of peace.
We can’t see it. We hear of an immense
amount of protestation, bat not one sin
gle act proposing peace. Does he think
the South can be pacified by giving a
plaes in his Cabinet to Mr. Key of Ten
nessee, who was repudiated by his own
State, and since he has become a member
of “Eight to Seven’s” privy Council has
acted just to the reverse of all that was
calculated to produce peace in the coun
try? He is pursuing the very policy to
produoe hatred and discord. If his tao-
tios be the evidence of his desire to cre
ate reconciliation and concord he is pur
suing the exact coarse to msgQify and
aid a partisan party of the grossest
character. We would rather have Grant
with his blunt, open purpose plainly dis
played than the attempt of Hayes by de
vious ways and breaking solemn pledges
to attempt the formation of a national
party. The entire voice of the South is
opposition to the partisanship of whioh
Hayes is the head and front. Hayes has
not shown by deeds the least disposition to
promote the harmony of the country. To
that he has arrayed himself in opposition.
Can any one tell his Southern policy?
What is there to accept? His own declar
ations show the instability of his own po
sition. He is one of thorn men who are
trying to trim between parties and al
ways desirous of shameless compromises.
The country that trusts to him
is lost. Not au appointment has
he yet made which is approved
by the country. He is a Republican, and
a worse one than Grant. His entire pur
pose as indicated by his acts is to pro
mote that organization. He is a nonentL
ty. Sherman, the most bigoted of South
haters, rules this country. Let one single
action, purpose or casual remark be
brought up in whioh Hayes has evidenced
nationality and not section. In appoint
ing Key, he remembered that the Ten
nesseean had without necessity and be
fore the question fairly arose, opposed
Cronin, of Oregon, and that vote won the
Presideucy. Take him all in all, his ac
tions, appointments, declarations and de
nials, and Hayes is the most ignomious
fraud ever foisted on the government of
a people. Nothing good can be expected
from the receiver of stolen goods, know
ing them to be stolen. What is his policy ?
Who can tell ? Echo answers who. Mad.
Wells and Joe Bradley may.
OPPOSING HAVES’ NEW POLICY.
SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN ASSO
CIATING FOR SELF-PROTECTION.
Washington, March 20.—The thirteen
Southern Republican members of Con
gress, with Thornburgh, of Tennessee,
at their head, have entered into an asso
ciation for self-protection, This associ
ation consists of the following-named
gentlemen : Thornburg, of Tennessee;
Darrel], Smith, Leonard and Nash, four
Republican members from Louisiana;
Jorgensen, of Virginia; Brogden, of
North Carolina; Rainey and Cain Smalls,of
South Carolina; Bisbee, of Florida, with
two Republicans from Missouri. These
men have resolved not to go into any
party canons on the organization of the
next House, unless they oan dictate their
own terms. They say they were left out
in the cold by Hayes’ new policy, and
they propose to see how he will got along
with bis scheme of organizing the next
House without their aid. They will occu
py the distinguished position of Joe Brad
ley upon the Electoral Commission in
having the deciding vote, and some of the
members of this association think that if
they stand united they may be able to
make Thornburgh Speaker. At any rate
they will stand solid against any attempt
to gyre the South over to the Democrats.
The carpet-bag members of the Senate
are also contemplating a similar nnion,
so as to hold the balance of power on
their side of Congress.
Cultivate Cottou.
From the Vicksburg Herald.]
We hope that all the Southern planters
will cultivate a large amount of this val
uable article. We all know that cotton is
King, and the more of it we have in the
South the more King we will have. As
long as we have the King amongst us, we
are all right. The cheaper the King is
the more universal he will be, and the
more easily he will be reached by all
classes. From the way the present
crop went off, if we are right lucky with
the next crop we will be able to realize
between six and eight cents a pound for
it. What a satisfaction it will be to us all to
know that this fabric is thus placed in the
reach of all, and that this is done by the
noble, generous Southerners. No Afri
can, or Chinaman, or Hindooetanee, or
Turk, or Persian need ever to suffer for
cotton while we raise it and sell it at, say
seven and a half cents, whioh will be aboot
the price realized next year. What the
South needs is one vest, immense, hnge,
tremendous crop of ootton, so that the
world will be supplied for about three
years. We would suggest for this year
about thirteen millions of bales. If the
South only had thirteen millions of bales
on band, all the rest of mankind oonld get
what ootton they wanted at very reason
able fignres. Then the cotton supply
wouldn’t bother us for a year or two, and
we could engage in raising something to
eat. This would be desirable, for unless
we do raise our own stock, grains, grasses,
etc., by the time the world wants more
cotton we would have nothing on whioh
to produce it, and it might coat the con
sumer nearly what it cost to raise it. It
would hsrdly be charitable for the South
to charge the actual cost of cotton, for it
is a necessary article, and we ought to
produce it for glory.
There are several other reasons why
the South ought to make an immense
crop of cotton. It keeps the time of the
people fully employed. It only takes
about fourteen months to make a good
big crop of ootton. The eeed are good
to feed cattle with, and if the cattle don’t
like it as well as they do corn and hay it
is their fanlt. But the most convincing
reason is that we always have made big
crops, and we ought to keep it up. If
we can’t get all the money we want for
fonr millions of bales, by all means let
ns raise more.

Yesterday there was perhaps e slight
abatement in the unprecedented glee
which was experienced by Packard’s crew
on Wednesday. Things assumed the old
look of wretchedness, and renewed doubts
took possession of the minds of the gar
rison. The exnberanoe attendant on the
acquisition of a “quorum” in the Senate
had (subsided, and dark forebodings of
the fntnre again cast the usual gloom
over the doomed fort. The desire to do
deeds of daring on bloody fields can with
difficulty be suppressed. The men are
“jist a spiling for a fight.” This was
fully demonstrated yesterday morning by
two of the gallant followers of the “Boss,”
whose warlike ardor oonld bo restrained
no longer, and, just for practice they
pitched into each other and had an inter
esting set-to all by themselves. The
militia was the cause of the fracas, one
of the parties who had onoe occupied
the honorable position of parish judge in
one of the conn try parishes declining to
affix his signature to the rolls when re
quested to do so by a recruiting officer.
The ex-judge and militiaman determined
to test which was the more powerful—the
gown or the sword. Gown got the bet
ter of it, when the combatants were sep
arated. This little warlike iocident caused
a few of the members of the House to
become belligerent, and almost immedi
ately after roll call, Davidson, of Iber
villa, introduced a resolution declaring
the Speaker's chair vacant, for the reason
that the Speaker, by his arbitrary ruling
on Wednesday, knowingly defeated the
will of the majority and passed the
general appropriation bill before it
underwent the desired modifications
The resolution was laid over, m so
Mr. Hahn will retain the Speakership
for a few days, at any rate. There was
something of a fight over a resolution to
seat H. Baburn, who is contesting the
seat of H. Cockerham, of Bienville. One
member, following the introduction of
this resolution, moved to seat the defeat
ed Republican candidate from Grant.
This, however, did not take, as the
House did not care about “going back ’’to
such an extent on the Overturning
Board, which had declared no election in
Grant parish. Stewart, of Tensas, indig
nantly expressed himself as opposed to
seating claimants who were acknowledged
as defeated.
The Senate did nothing except squab
ble for some time over the bill appropria
ting $96,000 to defray the expenses of the
extra session. Baroh made a lengthy har-
angue, declaring that he was opposed,
“on conscientious scruples,” to accepting
funds for work which was not performed,
The chief subjeot now is the arrival of
the new Commission. Paokard received
a dispatch, stating that no definite conclu
sion as to who were to compose the Com
mission was yet arrived at, but that it
would prove satisfactory to the Radicals
The arrival of the Commission is looked
upon with disfavor, as it will necessa
rily prolong the existing state of affairs,
and the small amount of funds possessed
by the Packard crew is rapidly dwindling.

SENATOR STANLEY MATTHEWS
BANQUET TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY—THE NEW SENATOR’S SPEECH,
By Telegraph to the Herald.]
Columbus, O., March 20 —A banquet
was given to the members of the General
Assembly to-night by Senator Stanley
Matthews and wbb largely attended, Dem
ocrats vieing with Republicans to do hon
or to the new Ohio Senator. In response
to the toast of the evening, Mr. Matth
ews made a short speech, speaking sub-
stantially as follows:—
In the days of heathen mythology,
when men received gifts from the gods,
it was the custom to make sacrifices aud
offerings for good honors and good things
received. In later days these sacrifices
for gifts received is in providing enjoy
ment for the friends who bestow honors,
and hence the calling together of this dis
tinguished gathering. To-day’s proceed
ings have their political significance,
but I will not violate proprieties by refer
ring to them, as it might injure the feel
ings of friends. Governor Young, in his
remarks concerning myself, has referred
to the fact that I was without great expe
rience in statesmanship or political mat
ters. He says truly I have never been,
and I hope I never shall be a politician, a
seeker after office; but office hold
ing for public good is but calling out in
stincts of the highest, best and noblest
sense. Such is my desire, and in this
sense I hope to fulfill the expectations of
warm and devoted friends. I hope to fill
my honorable office in accordance with
the sentiments expressed by the honor
able genleman who is now onr President:—
“He who serves bis country best serves bis
party best.” (Great applause.) I feel
great pride in being a native of the Buck
eye State, a Buckeye of the seoond gen
eration, aud whatever honor I achieve
will be for the honor of my native and
mnch loved State. I shall rejoice stand
ing side by side with the distinguished,
illustroas and upright Senator, Mr. Thur
man, who now stands alone as the repre
sentative of this State, whose people de
light to do him honor. While I have in
the past and probably shall in the fntnre
differ with him politically, I shall have
the highest opinion of him personally. I
rejoice, too, that my Democratic friends
to-day did not see fit to vote for me; that
they did not seem to think it desirable to
vote for any one else. Again I sincerely
thank yon, and hope I may ever prove
myself worthy of yonr esteem.
Senator Reece, on behalf of the Dem
ocrats, said that while he was sorry the
meeting had not been oalled to celebrate
the election of a Democrat, yet, as a Re
publican had been chosen, he did not
know another of that school of politics
in Ohio who the Democracy would be
better suited with than Stanley Matthews.
CURIOUS SUIT AGAINST
GRANT.
GRN.
DAMAGES DEMANDED BT A PERSON SENT TO
A LUNATIC A8XLUM BX THE DISTRICT
POLICE IN 1874.
Washington, March 20.—Suit was en
tered to-day in the Circuit Court of this
District by Thomas Biggins against ex-
President Grant for false imprisonment
and $100,000 damages claimed. Theplain-
tiff charges that the defendant, on the 23d
of March, 1874,in the City of Washington,
with force and arms assaulted, seized and
laid hold of him and with great force and
violence palled and dragged about the said
plaintiff, and also forced and compelled
him to go from and oat of his (plaintiff’s)
store on F street to Police Head-qnarters,
where he was imprisoned, without reason
able and probable cause whatever, for the
space of 24 hoars. He also charges that
the defendant had him imprisoned in the
Government Hospital for the Insane for
the period of eight months ; and fnrther,
that the defendant, on the 20th of No
vember, 1874, compelled the plaintiff to
go under guard from the City of Wash
ington, on board a train of railroad cars,
to the City of New York, and then and
there, with force of arms, compelled him
to embark on board the steamship Italy,
and sail from thence to Liverpool, Eng
land.
The records of the detectives’ office
show that Thomas Biggins was arrested
on charge of threats, at 5 o’clock on the
evening of March 21, 1874, by the Metro
politan Police detectives and sent to the
Insane Asylum, his unsonndness of mind
having been certified to by Drs. Johnson,
Elliott, and G. L. Magruder. It is stated
that the threats were against Gen. Grant,
whom he (Biggins) met as he was leaving
the White House grounds for a walk, and
that Biggins, raising a stick said: “If I
catch yon at my bedside again I’ll knock
yonr hosd off.” Gen. Grant replied:
“Well; when I do so, knock it off.” It
will be remembered that Biggins was be
fore the oommittee on the administration
of the affairs of the asylum as a witness a
year ago, when he testified about the
spirit of Gen. Grant being at his bedside,

had never authorized any one to say so
for him. He said that he proposed to do
what in his best judgment he thought was

ONLX ONE ACCEPTS.
At 10 o'clook to-night, the President
had reoeived no farther acceptances to his
telegraphic invitations to act on the
Louisiana Commission. Gov. Brown is
still the only fixed feature of the affair.
HON. A. H. STEPHENS
sent for Senator Gordon, of Georgia, to
day, and desired him to correot the report
of a conversation between himself and
Mr. Fish, late Secretary of State. Mr.
Stephens stated that he did not see the
report until his attention was oalled to it;
that the report was, in many respects, in
correct. What he did say was in sub
stance, that the South needed more than
anything else, home rale and riddanoe of
the evil of carpet-bagger-office-holders.
In reference to President Hayes, Mr.
Stephens Baid that if he aimed at a paoi-
fication of the country, it would require
great firmness on his part in adhering to
the principles of his inangural address.
What was wanted was non-intervention
and the withdrawal of troops from the
support of either government in South
Carolina or Louisiana. He also said that
in oonferiog offices in the Southern
States, the President should look to those
men who had the confidence of the ..peo
ple of the Southern States, withont refer
ence to present political creeds or associa
tions. He should do as Washington did
in the beginning. He appointed Hamil
ton and Jefferson both as members of
his Cabinet, when he knew that they
were diametrically opposed in political
principles.
Mr. Stephens said in the appointment
of Mr. Key, the President had initiated
this example, and if in appointments to
all other offices he should pursue this line
of policy he might do vast good and se
cure real peace and union; bnt in order to
do this he must lose sight of the interest
of this party or that, keeping solely in
view the great idea of securing the best
men for office, and removing animosity
from the people, and fostering the pros
perity and preserving the peaoe, harmony
and liberty of the country.

THE UNIVEBSITX RACE A DEAD HEAT.
London, March 24. — The first an
nouncement was a victory for Oxford,
bnt by less than a half length. The latest
advices make the beat dead. The matter
is in controversy. Batting at the start
was five to fonr in favor of Oxford. The
race is said to have been the grandest ever
rowed. The on-lookers seem unanimous
thatOxford won by a yard or two. Oxford’s
bow oar was broken near the finish.
London, March 24—3:30 p. m.—At a
meeting between the representatives of
the two crews, the jndge stated that he
never wavered from his decision, that the
race was a dead heat. Time 27 minutes and
10 seconds.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAX.
London, March 24.—Bell's Life says:
Oxford would have won had not the bow
oar Cowles met with the mishap of break
ing an oar when passing Wilcox.
The Pall Mall Gazette, after describing
the race, complains of the unbusiness
like way in which the jndge acted, and
says it will be a warning to University
Presidents to abstain in fntnre from em
ploying waterman judges in general.
CONCLUSION OF THE BACE.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
London, Maroh 24.—Off the Thames,
three miles and six furlongs from Put
ney, Cambridge again spruted and re
duced the lead of the Oxford, which
momentarily got ali aboard, as their bow
man was seen to be in diffieulties and un
able to use bis oar properly, consequent
ly the Cambridge drew up within a third
of a length off Godfreys, and a terrific
race ensued thence to the finish, Oxford
striving to retain their lead and Cam
bridge to head them from the ship to
the winning port, whioh was stationed at
some distance. About the ship Cam
bridge up drew,and the gun fired as the two
crews raced past the judges amidst a
scene of the wildest excitement ashore
and afloat. On being asked the result,
Mr. John Phelps, the judge, declared the
race to be a dead heat.
Immense oheering followed as the
orews returned to Putney on the Thames
Conversancy steamboat.
The Standard says: Jnst at the White
Heat, Oxford’s number one broke his row-
lock, but was still able to row. Mr. Clit-
ty was umpire.
At the meeting this afternoon between
the representatives of the crews the Judge
stated that he never wavered from his de
cision that the race was a dead heat.

A PRINCESS IN BALTIMORE—HER RECEPTION
BX MME. BONAPARTE—A BOMATIO STOBX.
From tin Baltimore Gazette, March 19 ]
The fact that a “real” princess, “the
daughter of a king,” has been for some
days sojourning iu Baltimore has not yet
been publicly announced. The lady re
joices iu the title of Princess Editha Lo
lela, Baroness of Rosenthal, Countess of
Landsfeldt. She is the daughter of Louis,
King of Bavaria, her mother being Lola
Mentez, a celebrated woman who visited
America about 1851, and died some ten
years later. The first wife of the King
was Angusta, by whom he had one son,
Maximilian. The princess, who is now
residing with a friend on St. Paul street,
is a lady of commanding stature, large
physique and qneenly presence. She
dresses in good taste and elegance. She
is said to be in receipt of a band-
some income, sufficient to enable
her to live iu easy affluence.
A few days ago the Countess oalled
upon Mine. Bonaparte at her residence,
Cathedral and Richmond streets, and was
very graciously received. Mme. Bona
parte is now in her ninety-fourth year,
and it seems highly probable she may
yet realize her expressed wish to live to
be one hundred years old. Though fee
ble she yet maintains fall possession of
her mental faculties, and takes an active
interest in public affairs, especially
abroad. Her royal visitor withdrew after
a pleasant interview. The Countess, in
conversation with a representative of the
Gazette, tells a romantic story of her own
somewhat eventfnl life. When only three
years of age, she says, she visited New
York in company with Mr. C. F. Salamon
and his family. She was the only child of
Lola Montez. While a child in New York
she was abducted, taken to Paris, and
afterwards placed in the convent of the
Black Forest, in Germany. While a pris
oner there she states that she succeeded
in forwarding surreptitiously to Dr. Paul
N. De Messant, editor of the Paris Lan-
terne, letters which were published
in that journal. De Messant became
much interested in his brilliant cor
respondent, and arranged a plan for her
escape. She was, she says, permitted to
take on one occasion the place of the
mother superior at the entrance, and
made her escape. A year later her ro
mantic flight was supplemented by an
equally romantic marriage with Dr. De
Messant. This occurred during the pro
gress of the late Franco-Prussian war.
De Messant received his title of Count
before the close of tbe war. Together
with him she removed to New York, where
the connt and countess lived happily for
three years, when the former died sud
denly. His death occurred November 4,
1873. During her husband’s life she lec
tured in New York in aid of oharitable
objects, the Cuban cause, the proper
sphere of women and kindred topics. She
is by profession of faith an Episcopalian.
The frnits of her marriage were four
children, three of whom are dead; the
fourth is being educated at Florence,
Italy. The countess, it is understood, is
not yet thirty years of age. She is a lad;
of education and culture and highly ac
complished. She draws and paints re
markably well, and is a brilliant and
agreeable conversationalist.

A Judge who Sentenced his own Son.
—It hasn’t often happened since the dayB
of Bratus that a father has sat in judg
ment and passed sentence on one of his
sons. The mention of an old Canadian
judge’s name in a newspaper recalls to
me this incident in his life. The son was
addicted to liquor, and for drunkenness
was sent home from Upper Canada Col
lege. At home he continued his career
of worthlessness, and one night, out of
sheer drunken folly, picked a friend’s
pocket of his handkerchief, and thought
it would be a rare piece of fan to take
also his watch. Accordingly he knocked
him down, tied his hands and deprived
him of his watch. The friend had the
humorist arrested for highway robbery,
and in dne coarse the yoang fellow came
before his own father, who sent him to
the penitentiary for five years, and cat
his name oat of the family Bible. I
would like to be able to say that the
youDg man reformed. Historical accu
racy, however, compels me to declare that
he married, was suspected of a railroad
robbery, started a livery stable and drank
himself to death.—Montreal Letter to
Chisago Times.
Deal Gently with the Stomach.
Do not rack It with violent purgatives, or
permanently inpair its tone with indigestible
drugs of any kind; but, If your digestion is Im
paired, your liver out of order, your frame de
bilitated, or nervous system unstrung, use that
wholesome and agreeable alterative and tonic
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, whioh well cer
tainly afford you the desired relief. None of
the officinal remedies can compare with It in
restorative efficacy, and as a medicinal stimu
lant It is by far the most desirable as well as
popular aitlcle of its class Its basis, the es
sential principle of round rye, is the best possi
ble agent for hastening the action of the bo-
tanlo ingredients which it holds in solution, and
those ingredients are the most efficacious
which chemistry extracts from the vegetable
kingdom, and medical science applies to the
cure ol disease.
