ADDRESS TO A MUMMY. BT HORACE SMITH. And them hast w»'ked »bout—how strange s story t in Thebes's streets, three thousand years ago, When the Memnonium was in aU its glory, And time had not begun to overthrow Those temples, palaces and piles stupendous, Of which the very rulaa are tremendous. K/eak! for thou long enough hast acted dummy; I h u hast a tongue, oome, let ua hear its tune; Thou.’rt standing on thy legs, above ground, Mum. iny, Revisiting the glimpses of the moon; Not like thin ghosts or disembodied creatures. But with thy bones, and flesh, and limbs, and lealurea. Tell ua, for doubtless thou oanet recollect. To whom should we assign the Sphinx’s fame! Was Cheops or Cephrenea architect Of either pyramid that bears hia name ? Is Pompey’a Pillar ready a mianomert Had Theb is a hundred gates, as sung by Homer! Perchance that very hand, now pinioned flat. Has hob-a-nobbed with Pharaoh glaas to glass, Or dr pped a half-penny In Homer’s hat. Or doffed thine own to let Queen Dido pass, Or held, by Solomon’s own invitation, A torch at the greet temple’s dedication. I need not ask thee if that hand, when armed, Hae any Roman soldier mauled and knuck.ed, For thou wast dead, buried and embalmed Ere Romulus and Remus had been suckled s Antiquity appears to have begun Long after thy primeval race was run. Thou couldst develop, if that withered tongue Might tell ua what those sightless orbs hava seen. How the world looked when it was freeh and young, And the great deluge still had left it green; Or was it then so old that history’s pages Contained no record of its early ageeT Btil l silent, Incommunicative elf 1 Art sworn to secrecy f then keep thy vows; But, prithee, tell us something of thysell; Reveal the secrets of thy prison-house; Blnoe in the world of spirits thou hast slumbered, What hast thou seen, what strange adventures nun* bered ? Since first thy form was in this box extended We have above ground seen some strange mutations. The Roman empire hae begun and ended, New worlds have risen, we have lost old nations, And countless Kings have into duat been humbled, While not a fragment of thy flesh has crumbled. Didst thou not hear the pother o’er thy head When the great Persian conqueror, Cambyses, Marched armies o’er thy tomb with thundering tread, O’erthrew Osiris, Orus, Apis. Isis, And shook the pyramids with fear and wonder, When the gigantic Memnon fell asunder T If the tomb's secrets may not be confessed. The nature of thy private life unfold: A heart has throbbed beneath that leathern breast, And tears udown that dnsty cheek have rolled; Have children climbed those knees and kissed that face ? What was thy name, and station, a ;e and race! Statue of flesh—lmmortal of the d :idl imperishable type of evanesoencu 1 Posthumous man, who qnitt’at thy narrow bed, And stiaulest uudeeayed within our presence 1 Thou wilt hoar nothing till the judgment morning, When the great trump shall thrill thee with Its warning.

A CIVILIZED BEAR.

"Why was he called Ben? Because that was his name. You wonder why that name was given to him? Well, that may have been for various reasons. This, for instance. When Ben was a vert- small cub he hadn’t much in this world, not even a nan* ; nothing but an old she-bear mother and a little cub brother like himself—no more. There was a party of hunters or trappers camped upon the bank of a Western river, and among them a half-grown boy, who, having finished his breakfast one morning before the others, boy-like wandered off in his restlessness to see what he could find. And what he did find were these two little cubs. They were too young for him to haye any fear of them, and so, without a thought of any other bear in the world, ho picked them up by the napes of the necks, one in each hand, and started back for the camp. Though the little cubs were unable to defend themselves, or resent this liberty with their persons, they could still invoke help, which they did by squealing lustily, and aroused the sleeping mother near by. Rendered desperate by the danger of losing her cubs, she gave chase right into the enemy’s camp, with a set of great white teeth fully exposed in the open mouth, ears laid back and eyes glaring with rage. She was a formidable looking object, and the boy lost his presence of mind altogether. With desperate instinct he clutched the cubs as if his life depended upon his retaining his hold upon them. As he approached the camp at flying speed he made himself the subject of much future merriment by bawling out to the party, still seated at their breakfast, right in his path, “C-l-e-a-r the track! H-e-re we come ! Me and the b’ars ! ” Just at this /critical moment—for the old bear was right at his heels—he stumbled and dropped one of the cubs as he fell headlong to the ground, terribly frightened. The bear, glad to recover one of her lost darlings, stopped for a moment to caress him, while the boy regained his feet and escaped to the camp with the other. As soon as the me a could snatch their rifles they hurried off in search of the old l>ear and the remaining cnb, but the bereaved mother, who had retreated to the rocks and secreted herself and her baby in mme fissure, could not be found. In telling his adventures afterward at the camp the n cited boy remarked: “If I hadn’t dropped that cub I would have been—would have l>een—” He didn’t quite know what he would have been, so he didn’t tell; but one of the hunters intermpted him by saying: “You would liave Ben, and so you bung on to him. I reckon that the cub’s name’s Ben.” That is probably the reason he was so called.

At all events his name was Ben, and by that name I introduce him to you. Pen soon forgot his poor old mother ns well as his little brother, adapted himself to his new surroundings and was metamorphosed into a “ tame bear,” that is. knew no associations but human, was not afraid of man nor were men afraid of him as a rule. More’s the pity, for this fearless intimacy with man was the ultimate ruin of poor heedless Ben. When the camp broke up, little Ben was placed in a wicker cage improvised by the boy, and thrown rather roughly into the wagon with the skins, traps, salt venison, etc., and carried off to the settlement, where he was petted through the fall, and slept through the greater part of the winter, as is the nature of his family. In the spring, when the journey had to be made to the trading post for ammunition and other supplies, Ben was furnished with a more substantial and necessarily much larger cage—for he was now quite half grown—and placed on the wagon with which his master was to make the tedious journey of three or four days’ duration. It ended just at night of the fourth day, and Ben saw by the fading light an old block house formerly bu : lt for safety against the Indians, and a tavern which seemed mostly bar-rooih, though Ben knew nothing of that as yet. He only saw one large room more brilliantly lighted than the rest, full of boisterous men, and a large log building used as a store, and containing everything needed in a new country. This was also brightly lighted, and a coi siderable number of men were lounging about the door or seated upon the broad stoop. All this was strange and curious to unsophisticated Ben, and he wondered what it could mean, as he sat in his cage on top of the load, and noted lights suddenly flashing upon the- sight from the cabin windows scattei-ed about here and there, now half obscured by the trunk of some huge tree left standing, now silhouetting the dark form of a woman in the open door as she peered with shaded eyes into the gathering gloom for loitering husband or son sent long enough ago to the store for a quarter of a pound of tea. The wagon was driven into the stableyard, and left standing with its load unremoved, Ben’s cage and all, while the horses were takeu off and put into the stable. Ben was given his supper of dainties he had never tasted before, and left for the night. In the morning he excited considerable curiosity among the loungers when his cage was taken down and placed up-

on the ground. Hia master wanted to dispose of him, and would be obliged to remain at the post several days at any rate, and it was proposed to the landlord, and acceded to, that Ben, being perfectly tame and harmless, should have a chain Mid collar, and be given greater liberty in one comer of the yard, where a post was planted, to which he was fastened. Here Ben received his motley visitors,, who fed him on all sorts of choice things —candies, cakes, raisins, etc.—which tickled his inexperienced palate, while his vanity was gratified by his being the object of so much attention. Poor, vain Ben ! He was scarcely ever, alone during the day, but constantly in the presence of a greater or less number of persons. Ben was delighted with the new order of things, and, being a natural wag, and kept in good humor by gratified appetite and vanity, he grew to be very popular. The landlord, seeing what an attraction he was, bargained for him with the boy, and Ben, to his entire satisfaction, was fixed in his new quarters, and, without a sigh, allowed his old master to return to his forest home. . . In liis new situation Ben was as indifferent to the feelings of his recent master as he had been before to those of his poor mother and little cnb brother. Sweet cake and such things instead of his former plain fare-corn dodgers and the like—with plenty of good fellows to feed them to him and langh at his antics, were ample recompense for the loss of his young master’s tender care. Like most pleasures, however, an over or unwise indulgence brought its penalty for the bear. The rich food he now enjoyed, though pleasant to the taste, was uot conducive to health, as was manifest in his altered disposition. He soon became cross, morose, freaky, or, as his enemies would have it. treacherous. He lost much in popularity in consequence, of which he was aware, and that made him all the more irritable. About this time the hostler, a very decent, well-meaning fellow, whose duty it was to take care of Ben, was promoted to the box—in other words, made a stage driver—and another found to fill his place, who proved to be quite a diflerent character, much more disposed to attend to that which did not concern him than to perform faithfully his legitimate duties, one of which was to look after the bear, attend to his wants, eto., though not to teach him tricks to render him still worse than he had already power to be. At first he took no particular interest in his charge, and fed him regularly enough ; but, after a few days’ acquaintance, seeing Ben in his better moods, he discovered his true character, and told the stable-boys and loungers that there was fun in the brute and he was going to get it out of him. Accordingly, when his duties were done, he procured some molasses in which he poured a quantity of whisky, and set it before the unsuspecting Ben, who, innocently enough, lapped it up with great delight. This was only for the sweet, however, for as yet his civilization was not so complete as it afterward became. The result of the experiment was just as great, notwithstanding, and Ben, to use a vulgar but most appropriate expression, “got as drunk as a fool.” Of course Ben was not this time responsible for his condition, or many ridiculous capers he cut; nor could it be justly said that he was ever responsible, for what did the poor, ignorant 'bear know of the world outside of the stableyard or of its morality ? His teachers and examples were human. Could a mere brute ask any higher authority ? Ben was but a beast without human intelligence to guide him or human incentives to sobriety, so he allowed himself to be led on to the daily degradation even of his brute nature.

As Ben’s example seemed popular, and was pretty generally followed by the men, the landlord permitted this to go on, if he did not abet it, seeing, of course, that all the liquor was purchased at his bar, including that for Ben, who meanwhile was rapidly perfecting himself in the art of drinking whisky Ho could already dispense with the sweet inducement, and take it. clear, solely for the “fuddle.” Even the brilliant young man, with his superior education, who had now become Ben’s frequent companion, could do no more, when whisky was furnished both, “ just for the fun of seeing them together.” Let me here digress a moment to repeat the old story briefly But eight years back this young man had come to the post, fresh from an Eastern law school, in the bright morning of his life, so full of promise, lie had twice ably represented the Territory in Congress, where, to gain political friends, he had too oftep yielded to political temptation. Now, like Ben, he needed no persuasion. The once proud, ambitious aspirant for political honors was not above playing his part with a dissolute bear for free whisky. He would seat himself upon the ground, take the helpless creatm’e by the ear, rudely thrust his head down among the straw, regardless of the bear’s feebly squealed protest, calling him a drunken brute, and lecture him upon the disgracefulness of his course amid the uproarious merriment of the vulgar throng, who in their secret hearts rejoiced to see one far above them by nature so degrade himself. Even in this mock elocution there were frequent scintillations of genius from his besotted brain. When both became so stupefied as no longer to furnish amusement, they were left to sleep off the stupor, sometimes side by side, though usually the man retired to the hay-loft, where, after a half hour or so, he awoke with a raging thirst for more whisky. He would make the best of bis way bock to the bear’s corner (whose stupor lasted longer than his companion’s), and purloin the whisky that still remained in the bottle ; for Ben always drank from the bottle now, and to see him draw the cork was part of the entertainment. The bear did not altogether like this enforced companionship, not from any sonso of degradation at the association with the human brnte, but when lie awoke from n, drunken stupor he also wanted a little more whisky to quiet his throbbing netves, and as this last drop of solace was always gone when the inau was around he naturally concluded tliat he was the thief, and resolved to rid himself of the nuisance. Bears are cunning, and Ben, in pursuance of a plan, one night stopped a little short, rolled over before he needed to, and feigned sleep until the thirsty ex-Oongressman again appeared on the scene. There was more in the bottle than usual this night, which made the wary politician a little suspicious of the bear ; so procuring a long stick, he tried to poke the bottle out of reach, but in doing so, it tipped, and spilled some whisky. Ben seemed so perfeotly stupefied, he ventured boldly in. As he stooped to pick up the bottle Ben struck him a powerful blow on the head, which settled the poor inebriate forever. Then, swallowing the whisky himself, Ben fell over; this time in a real stupor.

The murderer and his victim were found, an hour or so after, side by side. The news spread rapidly, and the horrified citizens flocked to the scene. When Ben opened his eyes, all unconscious of the magnitude of his crime, he was astonished at the multitude, and, greatly E leased, began playing with the body of is victim. A murmur of horror arose, which awed the bewildered brute, and the body of the murdered man was dragged, without further notice, from his destroyer. Ben’s doom was fixed from the first; no trial was required, no more evidence was necessary. There was no friend to offer a plea of ineanity, or to prove an alibi, or offer by way of extenuation the fact that he was stupefied by drink, that he had been led

astray by bad example and companionship. Ben had not a friend in all the world, and deserved none, for he was not a friend to any living creature, and yet he was doomed to expiate a crime not wholly his. Bat he was a dangerous brnte; lie had killed a man; and retribution was in his ease sure and swift. The landlord was seen to speak to a famous hunter present, dressed in a suit of buckskin with fringed seams. The hunter nodded assent, and immediately left the yard. He made bis way direct to the river, stepped into a canoe, and, talring up the paddle with the air of one accustomed to it, shot across the stream, ascended the opposite bank, and disappeared in his cabin at the edge of the woods. _ _ _ _ _ Meanwhile the crowd remained silent and expectant in the yard, conversing in an undertone. Ben stood snuffing the air in stupid wonder at the unwonted qniet of his audience. Boon the hunter returned with his trusty rifle. Every eye watched his movements as he scanned the bear. Every ear caught a doable click of the hammer as he raised it and brought the gun to his cheek. A sharp report broke the stillness; there was a murmur from the throng; a last groan. The multitude slowly dispersed, and the ourtain of night hid the lifeless form of poor dissolute Ben.— W. H Beard , in Harper** Weekly.

THE SAGE OF CONCORD.

Ralph Waldo Emenon Pawes to the Dim Future, Full of Yean and Honors. Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet and philosopher, died at his home in Concord, Mass., on the 27th ult., aged 79 years. The deceasod, who was affectionately known aa “The Sage o l Concord," was born in Boston May 26, 1803. He came of an intellectual “blueblood," being ancestored by eight generations of ministers, whose lives and works are inseparably entwined in the early history of New England. At 8 years old Ralph entered the publio grammar school and soon after the Latin school. He was noted as “ one who loved to trifle in rhyme a little now and then.” He entered Harvard in his 14th vear, but was even then a good classical scholar. His favorite study was Greek, and he was an apt translator, and excelled in composition and declamation. In his Sophomore year he assisted his brother William in teaching a school which was held in his mother’s house. In March, 1889, he was ordained minister of the Second Church in Boston. In 1832 he resigned his place and gradually withdrew from the ministry, having lost faith in the dogmas of religion. In 1833 Emerson made a voyage to Europe for the benefit of his health. In England he formed the acquaintance of such men as Coleridge, Wordsworth, Carlyle, Walter Savage Landor, and other famous literati. Returning to Boston in the winter, he commenced a series of lectures, and in 1834 preached for a time for the Unitarian Church in New Bedford. In 1835 he delivered a series of biographical lectures in Boston. In 1836, at the laying of the cornerstone of a monament commemorating the Concord fight, an ode written by him was sung. It contains the immortal linos:

Here, once the embattled farmers stood. And tired the shot heard round the world. In 1836 his book, entitled “Nature,” was published, which met with so small a sale that after twelve years only 600 copies were sold. In 1838 Emerson collected and published iu three volumes, “Carlyle’s Essays,’ - having previously edited the American edition of “ Sartor Resartus.” In that year he, with Bronson Alcott, Margaret Fuller, Parker, Stetson, Clarke and others, formed the Transcendental Club, devoted *o the discussion of idealistic religion. He resigned a position as minister of East Lexington in 1838. on account erf his increasing liberality of opinion. In 1839-’4O he lectured in Boston. In 1840 a quarterly magazine, called The Dial, of which Emerson was editor, being associated therein with Margaret Fuller, was commenced and was published for four years, and for which he wrote much both of proso and poetry. In the Brook Farm scheme of 1841 he took much interest, but his keen sense of the ridiculous prevented his becoming a resident of “the esthetic village," as he styled itIn 1847 he published a second series of essays and a volume of poems. In the fall of that year he made a second visit to England. There he was engaged to deliver a course of lectures for the Mechanics’ Institute, which had some time previously been organized by the famous Lord Brougham. These lectures were remarkably successful; the'American philosopher was received not only by the most prominent men of letters, but by the masses of the people. The halls were thronged, and the public journals teemed with the popular opmlonsjof profoundjrespect aud esteem so rthe man aud his lectures. He published another volume of essays in 1849, and also published iu book form some of his contributions to the Dial “Essays on Representative Mon” appeared in 1860, “ Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli” in 1852, “English Traits” in 1856, the “ Conduct of Life ” in 1860, “ May Day and O(her Poems” in 1867, “Society and Solitude ” in 1870. The abolition movement gained Emerson’s sympathies from the very first From the year 1844, when he delivered an address in honor of West Indian emancipation, he was ever heart aud soul for the cause. Emerson was twice married. In 1829 to Ellen Louisa Tucker, who died of consumption in 1832, and in 1835 to Lydia Jackson, of Plymouth, who has been the beloved companion till the last He was always interested in the public welfare, aud took an active part in the literary organizations of Concord. By those who knew him longest and most intimately he was regarded with reverence and devotion.

STEAMBOAT DISASTER.

Nine Lives Lost by the Burning of a Florida Steamer, The steamer City of Sanford, bound from Jacksonville to Sanford, Fla., was burned near the former place. Tho Captain immediately rushed up to the pilot-house, headed his boat in shore, and landed her in three feet of water within tnirty feet of shore. By this time the steamer was wiapped iu flames. The passengers were up, in various stages of apparel. A group of five was on the rear deck, when the Captain urged them to leap overboard into the shallow water. Miss Ireland fell overboard, and the fteru wheel caught her dress and was about dragging her under its paddles when the Captain sprang overboard and extricated her. Mr. Ireland, who jumped after her, was caught in tlic wheel and was also rescued by Capt. Roberts Mrs. Ireland and her little daughter and Sirs. Keep and her little son were lelt on the decks. The ladies were about to jnmp overboard, when the two children, seized with panic, ran back into the blazing saloon, and mother’s love, stronger than fear of death, urged tho two ladies after them. The four disappeared in tho fiery furnace, and were burned to a crisp. Their remains were found afterward under their respective state-rooms. They were but charred and blackened trunks, grasping tho almost-unrocognizablo bodies of their children. G. 11. Downer jumped overboard, but became exhausted before help reached him, and sank whilo attempting to cry for help. Capt. Shark-lie was an expert swimmer and seaman, and he was drowned, no one knows how. Many of tho passengers and crew sprang overboara in the shallow water and were saved, with the exception of two negroes, who have since died. Engiueer Smith, after he thought all on board were saved, jumped through the spaces between the wheel and made a wonderful escape.

A SOUTHERN CYCLONE.

A Town in niwlwlppl Swept Away by a Tornado, and Eleven Persona Killed. Monticello, Miss., twenty miles east of Brookhaven, was completely destroyed by a cyclono, only three houses in the entire place being left. They were dwelling-houses on the edge of the storm. Nothing like it was ever seen in that section. Eleven persons were killed instantly, five whites and six colored. Out of a population of about 160 very few escaped without some injury. Between fifteen and twenty were seriously injured, some fatally. The store of Cohn, after being blown down, was struck by lightning and burned. There was not a tree left. The track of the cyclone was estimated to be half a mile wide. One lady was blown away and no trace of her can be found. 8. W. Dale, proprietor of the Monticello Advocate office, which is a wreck, was killed. The old Planter’s Bank, a relic of flush times, and the Court House, a very substantial building, were leveled to the ground. The Courthouse was one of the oldest landmarks. The Legislature met there when Mississippi was a Territory. The houses of Mr. Carlisle and William Butler were caught up and dropped in the center of the river. “How beautiful the dome of heaven this evening!” said Angelica, as she leaned heavily on his arm. “ The stars seem to look down upon us—” “Oh, yes,” said the practical John, “it is impossible for them to look up to us, you know. Theycawn’t.” Sudden check to an evening’s fill of most delightful sentimentality.

THE PERUVIAN AFFAIR.

Ur. appeared before the Home Foreign Affairs Committee April 24, and made a ■weeping denial of the statements of Jaoob B. Shipherd. “Hia employment Is falsehood—stated that their first interview lasted but fifteen minutes, and they did not meet again for three months. lOm reurn why Shipheld was not at first kioked out of the department was that he was introduced by a Senator and had three ex-Senatora and an exSecretary of the Treasury a* oooumL Mr. Blaine produced a letter from Henry W. Blair, denying that he heard Shipherd state to the ex-Secretary that Minister Hurlbut had been offered $250,000 in the stook of the Peruvian Company. Mr. Blaine at one time expreased the opinion that Shipherd should be sent before the Grand Jury tot perjury. Mr. Blaine was again before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, on the 26th of April. He expressed his obligation* for an opportunity to state that no important dispatches in regard to South American affairs were prepared daring President Garflelds’ sickness. He stated, with much earnestness, that the English bondholders put up a job of war on Peru for booty ; that Chill and England were now dividing spoils amounting to $60,000,000, and that history will hold the United States responsible for the dismemberment which has taken place. Mr. Blaine alluded to the efforts which have been made to fix upon him (Blaine) the responsibility for a certain policy toward the South American states which was calculated to involve this country seriously; and continued : “ I don’t desire to assume that President Arthur is responsible for any suoh effort. I acquit him entirely ; but I desire at this time to place this matter before the committee oorrectly.” Blaine then produoed the original draft of the instructions which were given Trescott, which he road, and pointed out corrections whioh had been made by the President, some of them at his (Blaine’s) suggestion, and commented on the corrections and their merits and demerits. He added: “I do not by any means find fault with the President for changing his mind; but this is the original draft of Instructions to whioh President Arthur gave his assent, and which, following precedent, I kept. I desire to state most solemnly that the assumption that I ever interpellated a hue or syllable in a dispatch after it was agreed to by the President is as false a he as that which was circulated over the country that I was during the President’s sickness blocking out a foreign policy of my own.” Mr. Belmont, of the committee, propounded a series of questions in regard to the terms “good offices” and “officially,” and a somewhat lively tilt ensued between examiner and witness, which was suddenly brought to a climax by Blaine’s remarking, with some emphasis : “I hope, Mr. Belmont, you will be a gentleman. I shall be one, and shall treat you as Such. lam not in a Police Court to be badgered. I must answer my questions in my own way, and yon must not undertake to oorrect me.*’ Belmont disclaimed any lack of courtesy •r desire to badger. The event in the Foreign Affair* Committee on the 27th ult. was a very exoiting scene between Mr. Blaine and Congressman Belmont, of New York, who had been most active in examining the witness. Shortly after the opening of proceedings Mr. Blaine grew excited and said : “ Mr. Belmont exhausted two hours of the time of the committee yesterday, in traveling in a circle. He repeated his questions six or eight or ten times over. Of course ho has the right, but it is all based on the faot that he made iwo misquotations—absolute, palpable mic quotations, and this course of his is to establish his justification iu doing that. He has not yet touched upon it. While I have the largest possible stock of patience, I would rather that ho come direotly to Re point. There are many important points I would like to be heard upon, but iteration and reiteration of the same questions in order to vindicate Belmont for having made the blunder to misquote me in two particulars is a little too exuausting. He has made two palpable misquotations, and has made no explanation of them, when, as a gentleman, as I understand him to be, he ought to state frankly that he did it” Mr. Blaine, who had been standing and speaking with a good deal of excitement, herd took bis seat, and Belmont jumped from his chair and said: “Of course Blame's object is plain enough—that is to avoid the direct issue.” Blaine (rising and striking the table angrily with his cleDohed hand) —“What issue?” Belmont—“ The issue which must be met.” Blame—“ What issue?” ,

Belmont (also rising angrily and striking the table)—“l will not answer a single question that you aßk from this time to the end of the examination. Yon have stated what I deem to be entirely incorrect. You havo attempted to place me in a false position. In this you will not succeed. I said that quotation marks were a mistake of the printer, and your language bears the construction I put upon it. Tue careful reader will agree with me, and the careless reader may be influenced by your speech. The commencement of this examination this morning relieves me of all the consideration I mentioned yesterday, which I intended to observe to a man who had held the offioe of Secretary of State. You have placed yourself on a level with any other witness. I will examine you as suoh." Blame (angrily)—“What do you mean?” Belmont—“ I mean this : That you have been before committees before this; that you have endeavored to threaten.’’ Wilson (interrupting)—“ I submit this is not in order.” Blaine—“ This is intolerable. The insolencfe of this young man is intolerable.” Belmont—“ You have brought it upon yourself." “ I have no more regard for your insolence," retorted Blaine, “ than I have for that of a boy on tho street." Belmont l —“ Mr. Blaine has had due experience before committees, and he has endeavored to threaten them. He has done it for the last time. He will not do it to me.”

Blaine —“This is too trifling. I hope the committee will proteot itself. I have no power.” After some confusion quiet was restored, and Belmont resumed his questions. They took such a wide range that several of the members of the committee objected to going into the whole South American policy. Belmont said then he was done. Blaine said he did not desire to leave the room without giving Belmont an opportunity to apologize for misquoting his dispatches, and making him say that no treaty of peace shall be signed unless tho Landreau claim is recognized. “That,” said Blaine, “has been the slogan of the dirty Democratic party and the press that stand behind Belmont.” “The aggression is on your part,” said Belmont. “lam very aggressive against false statements,” said Blaine, “ and Belmont has stated what has no semblance of truth.” Belmont retorted : “ You have asserted a falsehood ; but I do not propose that this com-mittee-room, or that tho press, or the country in airy way shall undertake to judge my method of reply to your assertion ; tnat I will convey to you in private.” Blaine reiterated his statement. “Then this is the very last word I am willing to give,” said Belmont. “ The words in effect mean just what they say, and that is the construction that is to be put on your dispatch. As to your assertion about the character of my statement, as I have said just now, my course es action in regard to that will be conveyed to you in private. Ido not propose to make any scone here with you, or to make any capital one way or the other. Yon may if you choose. I think that is your method. That is what you are usually guilty of. You are a bully and a coward.” [Sensation.] Blaine smiled, and spoke slowly, suppressing bis passion: “This man has disgraced his place. Ho is the organ of men behind him. He was put there to insult me. His meaning was to do it. I beg to say he cannot do it It is not in Mr. Behnont’s power to insult me. He may say J am a bully and a coward, and all that. I recognize that he is speaking for men behind him.” “Whatl say is entirely on my own responsibility,” cried Sir. Belmont, “ and I repeat, you shall very soon learn my method of dealing with this question and with you.” “Let that conclude it,”.said the Chairman, and thus peaco was restor. d. The Philadelphia Timet says that the American kiss is to be the subject of a book to be published soon. The subjeot is a very expansive and voluminous one. It will take at least a hundred chapters to give an unabridged definition of the American kiss. It will require no less than twenty pages to portray the different variations of “the long,'long kiss, the kiss of loversand there is the good-night kiss at the gate, that will pretty well crowd the balance of the first volume. Then there is the frigid, snappy kiss of the mother-in-law, that goes off with a pop like a champagne eork; the juicy, flabby kiss of the baby, that has no pop to it at all, and the insipid oleomargarine kiss of woman kissing woman. Oh, it will be a daisy of a book; and how comforting to a yohng man, who has a fever blister on his lip.

Well Indorsed by Our Own Citizens.

No matter how useful anything may be in itself, good indorsements seem to increase its usefulness greatly by insuring a wider field for the display of its special merits. We were thus impressed in view of the following statements received by one of our representatives from leading individuals connected with some of the largest enterprises in our midst, Among others whose testimony was freely given was W. H. Stearns, Esq., Master Mechanic of the Conn. River railroad, residing at 28 Boylston street, who observed : “ St. Jacobs Oil has had a wonderful effect among the men employed here. One of them jammed his arm very badly and by the use of St. Jacobs Oil was greatly benefited, and the arm was healed. Another used it for severe rheumatic pains in the knee, and pronounced the Oil a complete success, as he was cured by its use. ” Mr. A. B. Taylor, of the “ Ray A Taylor Manufacturing Co. ” was pleased to say: “My aunt, Mrs. Pillsbuiy, of Mount Clair, N. J., while visiting at our house tried St. Jacobs Oil for rheumatism and neuralgia, and found immediate relief every time. She pronounced it the best thing she had ever tried for the trouble. ” Mr. J. B. W esion, 45 Greenwood street, Supt. Car Works, Boston and Albany railroad, thus addressed our reporter: “I am one more of the fortnnates who have had the good luck to hear of that wonderful remedy, St. Jacobs OiL I had rheumatism in the shoulder severely, and could find no relief until I used the Oil. I applied it und must confess I was surprised at the results. lam almost well and expect to be entirely so in a few days."— Surinafield (Musa. ) Union.

A MIBSOUBI woman 50 years old, and the mother of seven children, recently eloped with a beardless youth. There must be a tinge of the romantio about this sort of thing, but if that young man don’t find out that he’s adopted a worse evil than a mother-in-law, we shall own up beat.— New Haven Register. The St. Louis (Mo.) Post-Dispatch, at the close of a long article, says : In fact St. Jacobs Oil is pushing all other remedies out of the field, and, excellent though some of the liniments formerly offered are, the efficaoy of St. Jacobs Oil is magical in cases of sciatica, rheumatism, pleurisy, neuralgia, nervous headache, lumbago and scores of other disorders; while in the case of sprains, burns or injuries it is an absolute panacea, and for general use is better than the advice of many physicians. “A word to the wise is sufficient.” Knowledge is power. A poor but vindictive man, who was badly treated at a hotel in a certain summer resort, made up his mind he would kill the plaoe. Happening to have found out that one of the two rival railroads terminating there was in a worse way financially than anybody but the Treasurer dreamed of, he made the fact known; the stock went down; the other road bought it in, and, as soon as control was secured, raised the rates of fare. The resort is now dead as a door nail. —Philadelphia News.

A Physician’s Advice.

Don’t expect to cure constipation of the bowels, dyspepsia, indigestion, etc., by tho use of severe cathartic medicines. Belief thus obtained is only temporary. When the reaotion oomes the disease has a firmer hold on the digestive system than at first. The practice of taking cathartic medioines is the cause of a great amount of unnecessary suffering. The dose must be increased from time to time until digestion is impossible without their use, and the liver and bowels eventually become a mass of corruption that death only oan relieve. The way to permanently cure weak and imperfect digestion is to purify the blood and strengthen every part of the body by the use of snoh tonics as Yellow Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Celery and Oalasaya, all of which ingredients enter into the composition of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, the queen of all health renowers. It increases the power of enduranoe and oounteraota the pernicious effects of phyßio&l or mental exhaustion. A little 4-year-old awoke the other morning. and, turning to his grandmother, said: “Grandma, I dreamed I had a carriage last night!'' “Did jou? ’’said she. “Well, what did you do with it ? ” “Oh ! ” said he in his thoughtful maimer, “I left it in the dreamhouse. ” What relation is a loaf of bread to a steamengine ? Bread is a necessity. A steam engine is an invention. Necessity is the mother or invention ; therefore a loaf of bread is the mother of a steam engine.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a positive cure for all those weaknesses so common to our best female population. There might have been a time when servant girls had a penchant for wearing their mistress’ clothes, but that was in the days of low wages.

SICK HEADACHE.

Vm J. C. Hendkbson, of Cleveland, Ohio, writes: “ The use of two of Pierce's ‘ Pleasant Purgative Pollets’ a day, for a few weeks, has entirely cured me of sick headache, fromwhioh I formerly suffered terribly, as often, pn an average, as onoe in ten days. Of all druggists. The crew of the British bark Alexander ran short of provisions and lived on half a glass of water each daily for a number of days. We’ve known lots of men to live on less water daily than that.—ATetc Haven Register. Young and middle-aged men, suffering from nervous debility and kindred affections, as loss of memory and hypochondria, should inolose three stamps for Part VIL of World's Dispensary Dime Series of pamphlets. Address World’s Dispkkbaby Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. A trcckkajc Joat something on the sidewalk, and, procuring a lantern, began poking about in the Bnow in search of it. “ And phwat are yer lookin' afther ?” asked an Irishman, who was passing. “Well, Pat," replied the searcher, “ I’ve lost my char&oter, and am trying to find it.” “ Begorra, thin,” said the Irishman. “ but yez most be a fule to look for so shmall a thing as yer character wid such a dim loigbt as that.” “Fm the light of this menagerie I ” cried the tapir. And then the other beasts wanted to put him out Mb. Sidney McNanny, of New Richmond, Ohio, writes: “My lungs were weak, my breath came quiok and short, my heart palpitated, my dreams disturbed me, my blood was poisoned with scrofula ; my back aohed, I had dyspepsia, my kidneys were affected. I could not work, nor oould I even eat with oomfort Life seemed a burden ; rheumatism was in every joint; I suffered from piles and weak kidneys. I thought I could never get well, but Dr. Guyso tt's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla has removed all my afflictions. Another story of a child and candy: Miss JEd.th, having been very good, her dear, kind mamma takes her out for a walk, promising to buy her something. “Oh, mammal” cries the child, "do buy me a bouquet of flowers—there are somo sucli pretty ones there.” “O, no, Edith, my dear; flowers would be all faded by the time we got home.” “Sav, mamma," remarks the docile child, as they pass a confectioner’s store, “ would 10 cents’ worth of gumdrops be all faded by the time we got home?” Mamma surrenders at indiscretion.— From the French.

A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed, And by suoh a one's sympathizing advice and aid many a trouble has been lifted and burden lightened. Such a friendship is worth keeping, and when, from his experience, he advises ana instructs, his opinions should be heeded. If kind words can never die, and good deeds are never lost, the inducement for always doing the good onecan is still a great one. Many people Imagine that they had better do nothing than do a little, forgetting that it is the detail that makes the aggregate—the drops that form the showers—the little kindnesses of life that make existence endurable. As, in the picture, the good old St. Jacob is extending relief to the suffering suppliant by offering a bottle of that wonderful remedy, St. Jacobs Oil, so all can do something of benefit for his fellow men in their times of trouble 01 sickness. In^b taw many Instances could toe slmpie mention of the words “St. Jacobs Oil,” coupled with terms of indorsement and encouragement, bring relief and cure to those suffering with rheumatism. In view of the wonderful record of this Great German Remedy in the cure of rheumatism, neuralgia and all painful diseases, it appears in the light of strong duty for everyone to patiently, yet persistently, urge its application in the diseases named, bearing in mind that the highest good from man to man consists in that which tends to promote their peace, welfare and general health. Amongothers who have no hesitation in giving free expression to their opinion is Bishop Gilmour, of Cleveland, Ohio, who has used the Great German Remedy, St. Jacobs Oil, and endorses it highly. He writes about it as follows: “ I am pleased to say that the use of St. Jacobs Oil has benefited me greatlv, and I have no hesitation to recommend It to all as an excellent curative.”
