Treater ol Chronic Diseases.

Superior Wis., Jan., 1880. I heard in my neighborhood that your Hon Bittere was doing such a great deal of good among the sick and a filleted with most every kind of disease, and as 1 had been troubled for fifteen years with neuralgia and all kinds of rheumaiic complaints and kidney trouble, I took one bottle according to directions. It at once did me a great deal of good, and I used another bottle. lam an old luAn, but am novy as well as I can wish. There are seven or eight families in our place using Hop Bitters as their family medicine, and are so well satisfied with it they will not use any other. One lady here had been bedridden for years, is well and doing her work from the US's of three bottles. Leonard Wiiitbeck.

A Voice from the Press.

I take the opportunity to bear testimony to the effi racy of your “ Hop Bitters. ’ Expecting to find them nauseous and biller and composed of bad whisky, we were agreeably surprised at their mild taste, just like a cup of tea. A Mrs. Cressw< 11 and a Mrs. Connor, friends, have likewise tried, and pronounce them the best medicine they have ever taken for building up strength and toning up the system. I was troubled with costiveness, headache and want of appetite. The two former ailments are gone, and the latter greatly improved. ITiave a yearly contract with a doctor to lock alter the health of myself and family, but I need him not now. <S Cii.ui.ani> P, Ivies' Arivo 'cite, July '25 1878 Pittsburg, Pa.

When to Take a Bath.

There is no practice more objectionable Mmn to go to bed closely wrapped up in the dust and dirt that accumulate on the surface of the body during the day ; nor is there anything so conducive to sound sleep as a tepid douche just before getting into bed. Many bad sleepers become the best, of sleepers from the adoption of this simple rule.

Steamboat Life and Its Dangers.

iLouisville (Ky.) Commercial.] In a recent interesting article upon the palmy days of steamboat life on the Mississippi, in which special mention is made of ('apt. Gluts. N.Coni, of Louisville, and the statement ot his cure after years of suffering with Rheumatism by St. Jacobs Oil, pur. exchange says: Such indorsements, coming' from our own people, leave no doubt that the emphatic claims made in the interest of St. Jacobs Oil are fully justified. An - old California prospector, of this city, is of the* opinion that the North Pole is a solid mass of gold. He says it eau not be otherwise, for the reason that all gold-bearing true fissure veins, in all parts of the world, run in the direction of the North Pole, just like the parallels of longitude, fein t that, like these, all the gold veins must come together at the Pole and end in a great golden knob.—• P iryiiiin Territorial Knterprinr.

[Rea ling (Pa ) Times and Dispatch.] A remarkable cure effected in a stubborn ease is thus recorded by oijr Bernville correspondent, to whom the invalid made the statement, which he gives as follows: Mrs. Jacob Sunday, of Jefferson township, was for several years a severe sufferer, and under the treatment of good physicians. She grew worse, and was confined to the house for three months, unable to walk, and hardly able to sit or lie. Several weeks ago she resolved to try the Hamburg Drops. Very shortly after she had taken a dose of the remedy she experienced relief, and was able to walk across the room. She continued to take the medicine and recently declared herself entirely cured, and is able to attend to her daiiv work, as well as when seventeen years of age. As Bridgewater (Mass, ( young man being in Kansas, and desiring to get hr.me but minus the means, resorted to the ingenious device of having a telegram sent to his friends saying that he was dead and desiring money to forward the body. The amount required was raised with difficulty and sent, but when the body appeared the friends thought it was a pretty lively corpse.

THE NIGHT KItEE/.K BT CBAB. If. LOO A*. 1/ 1 I i I* * A whisper, faint and rhythmic, floating indistinctly low— Sweet moanings of the night breeze of evening’s twilight shade— Rustled, ghostly solemn, with unceasing, steadjrß&w, Through the winter’s deadened branches and qutnmn’s leafy glade. j My chamber, draped in darkness of a sun S departed rays, My thoughts and fancies roaming with .EoJius through the trees— * ’ - I sat in half unwakening in the shadows of the blaze, That danced in strangely concord with the music of the breeze. In weird, grotesque figures, from the fire’s golden beam, I could trace the noiseless motions of an AColian choir, Like the music of Euterpe in her slumberous dream, Or the waving strains and murmurs of the lyre. Now its mystic, solemn whispers had changed to deepening swells, That rose and fell in heavy gusts around my chamber’s door, As if ’twere funeral echoes from the tolling of the Intermiug’cd with the blowing of the night wind’ssullen roar. Like a velvet mantle o’er me lay the darkness and the gloom. And all around me floated the sweet, melodious air, As If there were tisitants of angels in the room, Whose voices sweetly trembled in a manuer charged with rare And heavenly music. My heart, my soul, my being took their flight To join the muses of the gods of fabled song, ( binimr down the chimney iu the fluttering firelight— The wind, the shadows, and the muse were iu harmonious throng. I dreamed of brightest visions, and I conjured in my brain That 1 heard the songs of zithers in a world of clrarming notes, Uniting gently, sweetly, with those of Orpheus—and a strain So wonderous sweet in love and bliss that still It plaintive floats. St Helena, Cal.

THE FOLDED LEAF.

The light from two large lamps shed its soft, mellow radiance over the room, and contrasted strangely with the bright rays of the crescent moon that came in through the open window and lay in silver bars upon the carpeted flopr. That the room was what is usually termed a “bachelor’s den” was to be seen at a glance; but there was far more taste displayed in the arrangement of all it contained than is generally found in any place not under the immediate supervision of one of the gentler sex. It could be seen in the arrangement of the pictures upon the walls ; the careful manner in which the choice books and magazines were placed upon the table, and in the ornaments displayed upon the mantel. Everything iu the room gave evidence that its occupant was a man of taste. And well it might, for Charlie Knight, who passed the greater portion of his leisure time within this room, was proverbially fastidious, and iu nothing was he more so than in the arrangement of all that pertained to his own immediate comfort.

A brief description of Charlie Knight will be sufficient, find we will give it as he sits at one of the windows, lazily smoking a cigar and caressing a small, yellow terrier that is asleep in a chair at his side. His is not a face that would attract the attention of a casual observer, but a second glance would have revealed the unmistakable signs of temper, pride and stubbornness. Broad, high forehead, full lips and small, blue eyes, were all indications of a strong will and determination. His complexion was fair as a girl’s, and there was a peculiar feminine east about his countenance which, with his low, well-modulated voice, was well in keeping with his lazy, indolent style ; but there were well-defined lines of care upon his forehead and beneath his eyes which told that even thus early in life lie had found that— There’s a burden in life for every man’s shoulders— A sorrow which all must bear; We may miss it in youth, but ’twill conic when we’re older, And lit us ns close as the garment we wear. Seated near him at table is a youth who, though he boars little or no resemblance, is his brother. No two persons could be more opposite in looks, ideas and disposition. Yet between these two, despite the difference in their ages, there was a strong bond of sympathy and love, so often remarked between persons of directly opposite natures. It need but one glance at the face of Walter Knight to know that he was totally without firmness. He had been potted from earliest childhood—-not a desire of his, that was possible, but had been granted by indulgent parents, and now, at the age of 19, when most boys go forth into the world to battle with its reverses and disappointments, he was wholly unprepared to meet the stern Fealities of life.

As he sat at the table now, his head resting upon his hand, his handsome, boyish face was distorted by an angry frown, and occasionally lie muttered some indistinct word as lie ground his heel, into the carpet. At length he sprung up, and, giving his chair a kick which sent it spinning into the further cosuer of the room, lie began walking up and down the apartment with angry strides. His brother glanced up from liis cigar with a half-amused, half-angry expression upon his countenance, at this sudden outburst, but said nothing. At length Walter threw himself into a chair near his brother, and exclaimed : “Charlie, you are a brute ! ” Charlie removed liis cigar from his lips and blew fort)t a cloud of fragrant smoke that completely enveloped him, and as it slowly lioatcd forth upon the night air he laughed good-humoredly, and said : “You are very complimentary, Walter, and 1 fully appreciate the delicacy with which it was passed, but I fear if any representatives of the brute creation were present they would hold you personally responsible for the insult, to their race. Here f.tiks ; wonder what he will think of it V But. then he has associated with me so much that he has lost all self-respect, and considers himself no better than I am.”

Ami, as lie ceased speaking, lie gave the dog’s ear a pull that caused him to yelp with pain and annoyance. “Justus good as I could have expected from you,” exclaimed Walter, in disgust. “There you sit, stargazing out of that window, knowing that Jennie refused nm this evening, and knowing that for lhe life has lost all brightness, and yet not one word of sympathy do you offer ; and when I remind you of what a brute you are, you must needs get off one of your cursed jokes.” “ Because I do not talk to you about your disappointment, is that any reason that Ido not sympathize with you? I believe, with Tennyson, that “ Sorrow’s crown of sorrow Is In remembering, happier things. ” “ There you go again with one of your poetical quotations. I believe you devote all your leisure moments to storing up such rubbish,” exclaimed Walter, angrily. “Yes, I plead guilty to the ’charge,*’ replied Charlie, laughing, “ for, like the man who bought the coffin at auction, * they are good things to have on hand. ’ But seriously, Walter, did you care so very much for this girl ? ” ' And as he asked the question his face assumed a grave look, and the mirthful expression went out of his eyes. “Carefor her!” exclaimed Walter, excitedly; “she is the only woman I ean ever love. But what do' you know of such love as mine ? You, who care nothing for woman except to flirt with her for an hour, and forget her in five minutes afterward. Of course you will only laugh at me, and I was a' fool to expect anything like sympathy from y° u -” k Charlie did not immediately reply, but turned again to the window, and looked out into the night. The soft summer wind sighed through the branches of the tall oaks, as though ringing a requiem for the shattered hopes of the living and the sohls of the dead. At length he tossed his unfinished cigar out of the window and, turniug to his brother, said : ‘‘ Waiter, you think me eojd tiu,j sols-

ish it is impossible forme to appreciate your disappointment, bes!Smtiflfe''’yon believe I have never been /nmjlarly situated. Ah ! Walter, there ytf a folded leaf in my life—a tumedoown page that you have never read—never even heard of. I seldom speak of myself, as you are aware, for I always think I can find a more interesting topic for conversation, but, after hearing you assert so positively that you could never love any woman except Jennie B—- —, I fief it my duty to. unfold that hidden page to you—though to recall the past will be anything but pleasant to me, for “There are hours long departed which memory , brings. Tike the serpent of Eden to twine ’round iny boart, Atid, as time rusheß by on the might of bis wings, They may vanish awhile, but never depart." 'BRH . Walter looked up at his brother, and, as he noted the serious expression upon his Usually-smiling countenance, the restless, disappointed look upon his own face gave place to one of attention and interest. Charlie was silent for a few moments, as if recalling the past. At length lie spoke m a ealm, even tone of voice : “ It has not l>een very long since what I*am about to relate occurred. Not long, if measured by months and years, but sometimes real or supposed sorrow causes time to go by on leaden wings, ami so in this case,

“ It has not been so very long Measuring the years that have fled; Hut it teems to me « century, Counting the hopes that are dead! “I cannot, now remember the first time l imagined myself in love, but I think it must have been far back in my juvenile days, and from that time on I worshiped at a new shrine of beauty every few months, for, as you know, I have always borne the reputation of being tickle. It was soon after my return from abroad that I first met Annie Everets, and a more self-conceited, egotistical person than I wrs at that time you have seldom met with. I had decided that it was about time for me to marry and settle down, and I auis fool enough to think I had only to choose from among the girls of my acquaintance any one that might please my fancy, never for a moment supposing that they would think of- declining the honor I considered I would be doing the one on whom I bestowed my name. You may well smile,” he said, as he caught the merry twinkle in his brother’s eyes, “ I am disgusted with myself now whenever I think of what a consummate idiot I was at that period of my life. “As I said before, I met Anfiie Everets, and, as 1 thought, fell in love with her at first sight. Her face was dark as a Spaniard's, hair and eyes to correspond, and form tall and stately ; add to these a nature proud and selfish, a temper beyond her Control, and a disposition that was obstinacy itself, and you have a description of Annie as 1 recollect her. Of course I was blind to all her faults, and magnified her attractions—if attractions she possessed —in a manner that, would have been creditable to the love-sick hero of a modern literary production. “ Well, 1 had been acquainted with her but. a few months a lien I told her, in my self-conceited way, that I had a decided preference for her above other girls, and asked her to accept my hand and heart. She blushed and declined to give me a positive answer just tlieh. I attributed this to her extreme shyness, and left her presence that day feeling uncommonly well pleased with the world in general and myself in particular. “ Months passed on, and I did not again allude to the. subject except in a casual way, for I felt perfectly satisfied what her answer would be, and considered myself the same as engaged to her. I called at her home to see her often, and was her escort to all the social gatherings and places of amusement which at that time, it being near the Christmas holidays, were very numerous. Already rumor had linked .our names together as a couple who would, at some time in the not far distant future, launch our bark on the broad sea of matrimony. “I will at this point of my story do myself the justice to say that I was honest in what I told Annie in regard to mv love for her. Even now I believe I loved her as much as it was possible for me to love any one at that time’ except myself. “How long this state of things would have continued I am unable to say, had not the fates decreed that it should come to an end. There was a party iu town ■ one" evening, but, for some reason which

I cannot now recall, I did not accompany Annie. Parties, as a general thing, were my beta noir. So on that occasion I did not put in an appearance until rather late in the evening. When I arrived, of course my first thought was of Annie, and, after searching among the crowd of her acquaintances and failing to discover her, I decided that she had concluded to remain at home, and I was just wondering what I should do with myself during the evening when a couple in a distant part of the room changed positions, and I discovered her seated near it window and engaged in earnest conversation with a young man. As that individual still resides here, and is an intimate friend of yours, I will not call his name. Let it suffice for me to say that he was one toward whom 1 had always entertained it most supreme contempt and abhorrence. I felt somewhat chagrined at her evident interest in what he was saying, and determined to tell her so as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

“ Seating myself beside an incipient girl, I amused myself by passing compliments upon her beauty, every one of which she believed to be seriously meant. Wearying of this sort of thing after a short time, I walked out upon the long veranda and concluded to indulge in a quiet smoke until such a time as Annie should be disengaged. “ Lighting a cigar, I seated myself in the shadow at the further end of the veranda and gave myself up to meditations, of which Annie was the most prominent object. “How long I had been sitting there, lost in reverie, I know not, ivhen suddenly 1 was aroused by voices very near me. In a moment I recognized the voices of Annie and the fellow I had seen her conversing with a few moments before. I was satisfied they were not cognizant of my close proximity, < and was on the point of speaking to them, when I heard my own name pronounced by the man, and concluded to renfain quiet and learn in what way I was connected with their conversation. I had not long to wait; in a moment he spoke again : ‘ ‘ ‘ But report says you are engaged to Charlie Knight, and his exclusive attentions to yon of late are sufficient grounds for such a rftrnor. ’

“ Breathlessly I waited to hear Annie’s reply. .She laughed a low, mocking laugh, and replied: “ ‘And would you hold me responsible for every absurd rumor that is started by meddling gossips ? Have I not told you, only a few moments since, that you are the only one I ever loved ? As for Charlie Knight, I will admit that I have allowed him to make a great fool of himself iu his attentions to me, but you know he bears the name of t ■***> Prstelass flirt, and 1 thought I would teach him a lesson he would not soon forget, for I am satisfied the fellow really does care for me. But if you object I will bring the flirtation to an end. I “ ‘ If that is the ease, I have no objection to your continuing it as long as you like* Knight is a conceited puppy, and ‘deserves just such treatment. ’ | “How I hated that man then ! You •know self-control is not one of the peculiarities of our family, and instinctively ,my hand sought a small pistol, which ‘from force of habit I always carried, but *in an ins. ant I gained control of myself, and they walked away and returned to the room. lyhere the company were assembled,

“I -will not tell you of the sleepless night I passed, or of the thousand and one curses I heaped upon the head of this woman, whom I considered the destroyer of my happiness. The next morning I wrote a short, note to Annie, telling her to forget all I had ever said about loving her, as I had discovered that I was mistaken in supposing that I ever cared for her. During the day I sought out her companion of the evening previous, and accused him of using my name disparagingly, and when he denied it I gave him the lie, and followed it up with a storm of epithets and abuse that few men would care to hear Applied to themselves. Having thus relieved my feelfar as possible, I settled down inWWpffioomy, morose lilT*Tforswore women, isolated myself from society, and, in fact, made myself as miserable as possible, and thus continued •until 1 met, by accident, Ida Severeri. She was all an artist could paint or a poet dream of. A perfect description of her would be as impossible as a perfect description of some hot-house exotit!, whose loveliness must be seen to be truly appreciated. “ Light and willowy of form, with indescribable grace in every movement and gesture, complexion fair as a lily, dark hair and eyes, small mouth, with lips just a shade deeper than the crimson that tinted her cheeks, aud constantly reminding mo of two twin rosebuds. When she spoke they displayed two rows of small, even teeth, that were pearl-like in their whiteness. Her face was perfect enough to have served as a model for a sculptor, and in each velvety cheek were tiny dimples, which seemed fit hiding-places for the god of love.

“All this I noted on the occasion of our first meeting, but, as I became better acquainted with her, I learned to fully appreciate the many noble qualities that composed her nature. Above everything else, 1 had always admired truthfulness in women, but Ida Severen was the only woman I had ever met who would not occasionally tell what in society is usually termed ‘ while lies,’ and it was seldom indeed that she would attempt to prevaricate on any question. And last, but not least of the admirable qualities in her nature, was the gentle, lady-like manner that characterized her conversation and actions on all occasions. “I visited her frequently and met her often away from home, and I learned that there was much congeniality between us. She was fond of books, had read considerable, and possessed the happy faculty of remembering what she read, consequently she could converse well on subjects pertaining to literature for one of her age. We became firm friends, and, while I knew I admired her beauty and goodness, the idea that I loved her never once occurred to me, for, like you, I considered that to love once was to love forever, and I believed that my love had been sacrificed at the shrine of Annie Everets. The knowledge that she was dearer than a friend came to me suddenly—like the bright rays of sunshine bursting through a dark cloud alter a summer shower shower. We were together one evening when she informed me that she would soon leave her native town, perhaps never to return, and expressed her deep regret at being forced to separate from her many friends. It was then that I knew that I loved her. It came to me like a revelation—all iu a moment. I thought that I had loved Annie Everets ; I now knew that I worshiped Ida Severen with a passion that would be life-long in its duration.

“It had been an easy matter for me to tell Annie of my supposed love for her, but now it was different. I trembled to ask the question, the answer to which I knew must either bring perfect happiness or bitter disappointment. All ray self-assurance left me, and my lips refused to give utterance to the words t hat trembled upon them. “A week passed—a miserable week to me—and again I was with Ida in the cozy little parlor of her home. It was a beautiful Sabbath evening, but all the beauties of nature were to me as nothing, when compared to the exquisite loveliness of her sylph-like face and figure. On that evening, for the first time, I saw her with that wealth of dark, shining hair unbound, falling in all its glorious beauty about her graceful shoulders, and down below her slender waist, and she seemed to me an angel who had left for a time her celestial home above to visit this mundane sphere. As I sat listening to the dulcet tones of her soft, musical voice, I felt that I could never leave her presence without knowing my fate, let it be what it might. “In a voice suppressed by the conflicting emotion of hope and fear,. I told her of my love, and, with as much composure as I could command, awaited her answer. ‘ ‘ She was very candid,and told me that, as she had always considered me as a friend, she had never dreamed of my thinking of her in any other light, but gave me to understand that she was not wholly indifferent to me, and bade me hope. When I pressed her for a more positive answer, she replied : “ Ob, bid li o not so soon decide, For fear that we should part; Ask me not to be your bride, Til] you have won my heart.” ‘ ‘ She left town before I had an opportunity of seeing tier again, and I am still hoping for the best. ‘‘ My story is now ended. You can now understand what before was a mystery to you, as well as to others of my acquaintance. You now comprehend what it is that has changed my indolent, careless life, of a few months ago, to one of energy and perseverance. lam still hoping that sometime I may gain her love, and am striving to make myself more worthy of her. “Of course, what I have told you has been in confidence—you are not to repeat it, but,” he added, with his accustomed laugh, “as it is close upon the noon of the night, suppose we retire to our humble couches and sleep the sleep of the just.” —Chicago Ledger.

How Old is Glass?

The oldest specimen of pure glass bearing anything like a date is a little moulded lion’s head, bearing the name of an Egyptian King of the eleventh dynasty, in the Slade collection at the British Museum. That is to say, at a period which may be moderately piaeed as more than two thousand years B. C., glass was not only made, but made with skill, which shows that the art was nothing new. The invention of glazing pottery with a film of glass is so old that among the fragments which bear inscriptions of the early Egyptian monarchy are beads possibly of tho first dynasty. Of the latter class there are numerous examples, such as the bead found at Thebes, which has the name of Queen Hatasoof Hashep, of the eighteenth dynasty. Of the same period are vases and goblets and many fragments. It can not be doubted that the story prepared by Fliny, which assigns the credit of the invention to the Phoenicians, is so far true that these adventurous merchants brought specimens from other countries to Egypt. Dr. Scliliemann found disks of glass in the excavation at Mycenae, though Homer does not mention it as a substance known to him. That the modem art of the glass-blower was known long before is certain from presentations among the pictures on the walls of a tomb at Benni Ilassan, of the twelfth Egyptian dynasty; but a much older picture, which probably represented the same manufacture, is among the half obliterated scenes in a chamber of the tomb of Thy, at Sakkara, and dates from the time of the fifth dynasty, a time so remote that it is not possible, in spite of the assiduous researches of many Egyptologers to give it a date ju years. —Saturday lieview.

HANCOCK ---SHERMAN.

Their Com-Kpondcnre nt the Time of the Electoral Controversy. Ntn York, Aug. 26. The two letters of Gen. Hhemian bo frequently Bpoken of as having brought forth the re-cently-published letter of Gen. Hancock, dated Carondelet P. 0., St Louis, Mo., Dec. 28, 1876, are as follows: Hkadquabteiih Army or Tni United Stater,) • Washington, D. C., Dec. 4,1876. i Gen. W. 8. Hancock, New York City : Drab Oankral—l have just received your letter of the 3d, and have telegraphed you my consent to your proposed trip. I cannot foresee any objections, and hope soon that events will admit of a return to their poets of the companies detached at the South. But e\cry time I make a move in that direction t am met by insurmountable objections. Three of the companies of the First Artillery from Fort Sill rejMirted at Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, and will be here this evening. Everything is ready for them. Tlio last company, I suppose, was detained at Fort Sill to await relief on the way. Tell Gen. Fry (Adjutant General) that in case of auy orders I will have them vent you at New York, aud he can execute them. The political a orders to Huger at Columbia I preferred should go from tho President to him, through the Secretary of War. They were not military. I dislike much to have our soldiers used in connection with a legislative body, but orders coming from the President have to be obeyed. They form a bad precedent, but thus far have prevented a collision of arms between inflamed partisans. I trust you will lind Mrs. Hancock and your St. .Louis friends well. Truly yours,

W. T. SHERMAN,

HEAiniUAitTEns Army of the United States,! Washington, D. C., Dpc. 17, 1876. f To Gen. W. S. Hancock, .Jefferson Barracks, Mo.: Mv Dear General: - Lest your peace of mind may be disturbed by the foolish report bandied in the newspapers about your being ordered from New York, I will tell you there is not a word of truth in it. Neither the President nor Secretary of War has ever intimated to me such a purpose, ai d I know I have never said a word nor written a syllable to that effect. 1 see in tho Republican (of St. Louis) that not only was the order made, but that I destroyed it, and t >re out the loaves of the record-book containing a copy. The whole thing was and is «n invention by somebody who wanted to create a sensation. The same is true about -John Sherman intriguing to la- President of the Senate, that lie might lie President ad interim. He has told me that he has never heard the subject broached ; that he would not accept the place, as he prefers to be what he is now—Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance. I hope you will find the family in good health and spirits, and I hope you will spend with me a peaceful aud happy week of the, holidays. This letter may bo superfluous, but the emphatic repetitions of a wild rumor in the St. Louis ltejmblican suggested to me the propriety of my correcting an impression, if made on you. No serious changes in command are being eoutemp’ated, and when they are you may be sure that I will give you theenrliest not ce. There are men,- on mischief intent, who would gladly sow the seeds of dissension among us in the army. Truly your friend, W. T. Sherman. The answer of Gen. Hancock to these letters was published in the Western Associated Press newspapers of Sunday, Aug. 1. Gen. Sherman replied : Headquarters Army of the United States,) Washington, D. C., .Tan. 2, 1877. f To Gen. W. S. Hancock, New York: Dear Generai. : I did not receive your most-in-teresting letter of Dec. 28, from Carondelet, Mo., till yesterday. I am very glad to have your views in extenw upon subjects of such vital importance. < ur standard opinions are mostly formed on tho practice of our predecessors; but a great change was made after the close of the civil war by the amendments of the constitution giving to the freed slaves certain civil and political rights, and empowering Congress to make the laws necessary to enforce these rights. This power is new and absolute, and Congress has enacted laws with which we are not yet familiar and accustomed. [See pages 348, 349, and 350, Revised Statutes, See. 1,980, edition 1873-4 ] As a, matter of fact, I dislike to have our army used in these civil conflicts, but the President has the lawful right to use the army and navy, aud lias exercised the right, as he believe.i, lawfully and rightfully, and our duty has been, and is, to sustain him with zeal and sincerity. As to the Presidential election, wo are in no manner required to take the least action, hut to recognize him as President whom the lawfully-appointed officers declare to be such person. I hope and pray that Congress will agree, oil some method before-lhe day and hour arrives; but, in case of failure to elect by or before the 4th of March, there will be a vacancy in both the offices of President and Vice President, in which event the President of the Senate becomes President pro tempore, and a new election will have to be held under ihe law of 1792. [4ce Title 111., Chap. 1., pages 21, 22 and 23, Revised Statutes.] It is well vve should compare notes aud agree beforethis crisis is on us ; but I surely hope vve shall pass this ordeal safely and peacefully. I will be pleased lo hear from you at any time. W. T. Sherman.

Headq’rs Military Division of the Atlantic,) New York, Jan. 2, 1877. )’ Gen. W. T. Sherman, United States Army, Washington, D. O. General: An anonymous communication to the Secretary of War, dated Louisville, Ivy., Dee. 10, 1870, reached my headquarters on the. 27th of that month from the office of the Adjutant General of ihe army. It represents that, in the contemplated uprising of the people to enforce the inauguration of Tilden and Hendricks, tho depot at Jeffersonville is to be seized and is expected to arm aud clothe the Indiana army of Democrats. The indorsement on this communication made at your headquarters, dated Dee. 20, 1870, is as follows: (Official copy.) ‘ Respectfully referred to Maj. Gen. W. S. Hancock, commanding Division of the Atlantic, who may draw a company from Gen. Huger, commanding the Department of the South, and post it at the Jeffersonville depot, with orders to protect it against any danger.” The terms of the indorsement imply tho exercise of discretion on my part which leads me to write you before taking action. In my judgment there is no danger of tho kind the anonymous communication sets forth, or other kind, at the Jeffersonville depot. to justify the movement of troops to that place. Such movement, it seems to me, would involve unnecessary expense, and would create or increase apprehension for which there is no real foundation. There are uo arms or ammunition at the Jeffersonville depot, and if such force as is referred to could lie raised for rebellious purposes it is not likely that it would begin by seizing a depot of army uniforms ; and, therefore, if there are grounds for the action of the Government, I see no danger in delay which will result from this presentation of the subject to you. If, however, in your better .judgment a company shouid tie sent there, it shall be promptly done as soon as you notify me to that effect, As I have already said, Ido not act at once because in your instructions you say I “ may ” send a company there, which 1 construe as leaving it somewhat discretionary with me, 1 returned the 31st of December, 1870, from St. Louis. lam very truly yours, Winfield 8. Hancock, Major General Commanding.

New York, Jan. 9, 1877. Gen. W. T. Sherman, commanding United States army, Washington, D. O : My Dear General: I have been intending to write you in acknowledgment of your two recent notes, lull I have been so much engaged in hunting a place for winter and “gathering” up my affairs of business, a* well as personal matters, owing to my recent absence, that I have deferred doing so. Now I write to inclose you & copy of a letter I addressed yesterday to the editor of tho World In reference to an artie’e (special dispatch) which appeared in that paper Sunday, the 7th. The World corrects the matter in its issue of this morning. 1 wou’d have preferred the publication of my letter, but, as I gave the editor latitude as to the manner of-correcticm. 1 eanuot complain, I suppose. 1 have written to no one on the subject of my order to go to the Pacific, reported by the newspapers, save yourself. I have said nothing to any one differing in letter or spirit, from what t wrote to you, and I have not seen Buford for years or heard of him, nor do I know of any person who has in that time mot or communicated with him. I inclese you a copy of the World's publication. lam very truly yours, Winfield S. Hancock, Major General. (Inclosnre.) New Vork, Jan. 8, 1877. My Dear Sir: I inclose slip rut from the World of yesterday (special dispatch from Washington), headed “ A Rescinded Order. Did Gen. Hancock Refuse to Be Transferred to the Pacific Coast?” As an authority given for the communication it seems that l shouid publicly notice the same, and it would gratify me if you would, in the manner you may deem best, make such correction as would lie most likely to remove any misapprehension on the subject. I havo not received any orders transferring me from this station, nor any intimation of the existence or contemp’ation of such orders. Hence I did not refuse to be transferred to the Pacific coast. I have not tendered my resignation. All my infonnation in the matter has lieen derived from newspapers of the day. I had no comaiuidcation whatever relating to the snbject with the authorities until after the minor of my removal was published from Washington as groundless. Then Gen. Sherman wrote rue a note to the same effect. I am in no wise responsib’e for any statement Contained in the dispatch in question, or for any misconception which has arisen concerning this subject from first to.last I am very truly yours, Winfield S. Hancock. o William 11. Hurlbut, editor New York World.

New York, Jan. 19,1877. Gen. W. T. Sherman, United States Army, Washington, 11. C.: My Dear General: T have been quite busy since my arrival, and have not felt like writing much, so that I have not written to you as I intended, in reply to your favor acknowledging the receipt of my letter from Oarondelet, r wished to notice simply your reference to the Revised Statutes and one or two other points in a brief way. I will do so yet, but not to-day, as I ant house-hunting, or apartment or hotel-hunting, rather. It is too !ate in the season to accomplish much here in ttiat way, save to pay out money and get but little satisfaction in return. The proposition for a joint committee insures a peaceful solution of the Presidential question, if it becomes a law, and, in my opinion, gives to Gen. Hayes chances he did not have before. I have considered ihat Mr. Tilden’s chances were impregnable. Not so Mr. Hendricks. Now' it seems to me that Gov. Hayes has something more than an equal chance, hut definite results cannot he foreshadowed. Fortunately, trouble need not be provid'd against by the use of the army, should the bill become a law. if the bill passes, and Gen. Grant vetoes it, Mr. Tilden’s chances will be stronger than liefore; certainly if he and his friends supported the measure, public opinion will strengthen his position. The danger in the compromise question, or jointcommittee p an, is that the defeated candidate might appeal to the Supreme Court on grounds of illegal (unconstitutiona ) decisions. lam very truly yours, Winfield S. Hancock. The correspondence closed hy Gen. Sherman writing Gen. Hancock that “ The passage of the bill for counting the electoral vote, approved by the President, ends, in my judgment, all possible danger of confusion or disorder in connection with the Presidential imbroglio.”

All About George Eliot's Husband.

Mr. John Cross is an excellent man of forty-two years, rich, and an old and devoted friend of the Howeses. Mr. Lewes was very fond of him. He lived cldse by the Leweses’ country place, and came in and out like an attached relation. He admired Mrs. Lewes profoundly, and always said he would do any thing in the world for her. He is not an intellectual companion, like Mr. Lewes, but a strong, solid, reliable man, who gives you at once a sense of confidence, a thorough, reliable, kind, upright, steadfast man—a thorough support; such a man as any woman would lie thankful to have near her as a constant and devoted friend. Nothing is more wise and more happy than that such an invaluable friend should be allowed to supply the daily care and affectionate companionship which his admiration and his affection both made him long to give. And Mrs. Lewes is not the woman, with her tendef and yielding nature (so unconsciously sketched in Maggie Tolliver and Dorothea), to resist the soothing support of such devoted affection.— Woman’s Journal.

He Did Put It In.

A modest-looking lady entered the Enquirer office and inquired for a local. One of tlie staff volunteered his services, whereupon the young woman, with a hand that trembled" slightly, presented him with a bit of paper, on which was written the following: “Mr. John Smitlierman is a happy man. His w ife has presented him with a bouncing ten-pound boy. Now he can sing “Baby mine, baby mine.” The local read and blushed, whereupon the young lady blushed. Then after a brief silence she ventured: “Will you put it in? “Certainly,” was the unavoidable response. “To-morrow?” ‘ ‘To-morrow. ” ‘ ‘Sure?” “Sure.” “Good evening.” “Good evening.” That’s all, and here it is. We suppose, of course, that mother and child are doing well. The young lady looked healthy. (.Unciuna!i. Enquirer.

Like Maid Like Mistress.

Fred A Bill, of Norwich, while strolling along the steamboat wharf at Block island a few days ago, saw a little child floating, evidently having just fallen from the wharf. lie leaped in and rescued it, just as the negligent nurse arrived. When the child recovered breath it began to cry, and the nurse spanked it, which so enraged its gallant rescuer that lie took it away from the nurse and conveyed it to its mother. She received her unfortunate offspring without a word of thanks to Mr. Bill. —New Jlaven Palladium.

A large monument has been erected at Kaholta, Mo., with the following inscription: “The Spencer Family.—We are all here, murdered with an ax, on the night of August 3, 1877, at their home. Their bodies lie beneath this tomb, their virtues about it.” " Tt marks the spot where the live members of the Spencer family were slain, and its dedication, with ‘ elaborate ceremonies, drew together fifty thousand persons, so great had been the excitement over the crimp. The deed was palpably committed by one man, who killed liis victims, one after another, as he came upon them; but who lie was has never been ascertained. Bill Young was hanged by a mob, but a jury had acquitted him, and there was nothing at at all proven against him except his bad character. His last -words were: “I am as innocent of this thing as the angels;” hut the leaders of the lynchers replied: “You’re a good man to hang, anyhow.” His wife has now sued the county for SIO,OOO damages.
