SARGENT S. PRENTISS.

Reminiscences of m Typical American Stomp Speaker. Saturday Chicago Herald. Sargent S. Prentiss, of Mississippi, was undoubtedly the most eloquent man oho ever addressed the House of Representatives. A carpet-bagger from Maine, he went to Mississippi poor and friendless, and not only became foremost among her sons, but acquired a national reputation. Edward Everett, after having listened to one of his impassioned bursts of eloquence in Faneuil Hall, turned to Daniel Webster, who sat near him,,and said: “ Did you ever hear anything like it?" “Never,” said Webster, “except from Mr. Prentiss himself!” He was, indeed, a remarkable orator, his intellectual endowments presenting a remarkable example, in which great logical power and the most vivid imagination were most happily blended. As Dryden said of Halifax, he was a man Of piercing wit and frequent thought, Endowed by natnre and by learning Aught To move assemblies. i The great secret of his oratorical success was his readiness; he seemed never at a loss for an epigram or a retort, and his impromptu speeches were the best. Prentiss used to tell a good story about his second canvass of the State of Mississippi. He had arranged a route, and one of bis friends bad gone; ahead to make arrangements for a hall in each successive town, and to advertise the meeting there. The proprietor of a traveling menagerie took advantage of these congregations, and followed, exhibiting at each place on the day that Prentiss spoke. The first intimation that the orator had of this rivalry was at a small town in the northern part of the State, near the Alabama line. After Prentiss had been speaking for about an hour, holding the attention of the audience, he observed some of the outsiders looking over their shoulders, and this movement was gradually followed by more of his audience. He began to think he was growing dull, and endeavored to rouse himself up to more animation, but it was all in vain. He at length looked in the popular direction, and there, to his horror, just coming over the hill was the elephant, dressed in liis scarlet wrappings and Oriental splendor. A foolish feeling of vanity not to be outdone by the elephant came over him, and he continued to talk. He found it was no use, so he said: “Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am beaten: But I have the consolation of knowing that it was not by my competitor. I will not knock under to any two-legged beast, but I yield to the elephant.” Prentiss afterward made an arrangement with the proprietor of the menagerie to divide time with the monkey and the clown, the first hour being given to politics. One of the cages was used as a rostrum. Soon he heard a low sound, which resembled a growl; and he learned that the hyena was his nearest listener. There were large augur-holes in the top of the box for the admission of air. Prentiss commenced speaking, and when he reached the blood and thunder portion of his speech he ran his cane into the cage, and called forth a most horrible veil from the enraged animals, at the same time gesticulating violently with the other hand. “Why, fellow-citizens,” he would exclaim, “the very wild beasts are shocked at the political baseness and corruption of the times. See how this worthy fellow just below me is scandalized. Hear bis yell of political shame and indignation!” The effect was electrical; he called down the house in a perfect tempest of enthusiasm. He hurled his anathemas at nis foes and enforced them by the yells of his neighbors. The people of Mississippi worshiped Mr. Prentiss, his habits, which would have been condemned in other sections of the country, only endearing him the more to them. Generous to his foes, faithful to his friends, he won the confidence and affection of all who knew him.

The Cost of Sickness.

I think, then, that we can not escape from the reasons to believe that we lose in England and Wales every year, in consequence of sickness, 20,000,000 weeks’ work; or, say, as much work as 20,000,000 healthy peoplo would do in a week. The number is not easily grasped by the mind. It is equal to about onefortieth part of the work done in each year by the whole population between 15 and 65 years old.. Or, try to think of it in money. Bather more than half of it is lost by those whom the Kegistrar General names the domestic, the agricultural, and the industrial classes. These are more than 7,500,000 in number, and they lose about 11,000,000 weeks; say, for easy reckoning, at £1 a week; and here is a loss of £11,000,000 sterling from what should be the annual wealth of the country. For the other classes, who are estimated as losing the other 9,000,000 weeks’ work, it would be hard and unfair to make a guess in any known coin; for these include our great merchants, our judges and lawyer, and medical men, our statesmen and chief legislators; they include our poets and writers of all kinds, musicians, and philosophers; and our princes, who certainly do more for the wealth and welfare of the country than can be told in money.— Sir James Paget, in Popular Science Monthly, y

How Whisky Saved Washington.

The story has often been told, but I do not know that. it was ever verified. Montgomery Blair told it to me himself a year or two before he died. We of Washington can never forget the threatening days in July, 1864, when the city was defenseless, and a large force of rebels, under Early and Breckinridge, was not ten miles distant from the capital. No one denies now that the rebels could have marched in and taken Washington almost unimpeded. The Sixth Corps of the Army of the Potomac was en route to defend the city, but it was not quick enough. The enemy was halted at Silver Springs, the country residence of the elder Blair, and very near the residence of Montgomery Blair. Upon the approach of the army the families of both

fled to Washington. The rebel officers searched the house and founain the cellar of Frank P. Blair’s house a barrel of whisky. This did the business. Nearly all the officers became doonk on this whisky, and many of the men were in a like condition. Snch an orgie was never known. The dresses of the ladies were taken possession of, and in them the officers masque aded and held a jollification the whole night long, falling into a drunken slumber in the morning, and unable to do any duty whatever. Early and Breckinridge, riding np in the morning, saw the situation, and merely said: “It is too late,” and so Washington was saved.—“Earnsdell,” in Philadelphia Press.

A Wonderful Canyon.

“Did yon ever notice what a great whispering gallery the Grand Canyon of the Colorado is?” asked Judge Harrison. “Wonderful,” said Judge Kennedy, as he placed his feet gently upon the table, and tranferred a quid from his left to his right cheek. “I was there some weeks ago,” resumed the Justice, “and we made some experiments. One of the party fired off a gun near the needles, and when we got to Cottonwood, more than eighty-four miles away, we found the Town Marshal still on the lookout. for the fellow who had been shooting in the city limits." “It’s got a fine echo, too,” said Kennedy. “I was down at< Fort Mojave along in February, and just before I left I got into a little row with a fellow and said he w'as no part of a gentleman. I said it rather loudly and noticed that the remark hung around the neighborhood pretty well; but when we stopped for dinner, twenty miles away, I’ll own up I was surprised to find the rocks still call calling out ‘ part of a gentleman ’ in the same tone of voice that I had used, except possibly it sounded a little more husky.” “It’s a queer country,” said the genial Justice, “and, as you say, its echo is wonderful. I was down there along in the fall, and when I went back last'month half the conversation we indulged in was still floating around promiscuously. I had made a verbal contract for a mining claim that the other party had tried to go back on, but I clinched him by getting a stenographer to take down the echo word for word which had been said six months before, and then I got affidavits from those who knew him that the voice was Jim’s, and had him where he couldn’t squeal. Wonderful thing, that canyon!”—Leadville Democrat.

Amusing Fright.

“Buck fever” and “stage fright” resemble each other in that both paralyze —one the arm, the other the mouth. When an inexperienced hunter sees, for the first time, a deer bounding by him, he forgets to shoot. The wouldbe orator usually forgets what he wishes to say when for the first time he Burveys an audience from a platform. A writer tells in the Boston Trar ,• script two amusing stories of stage fright: During the Harrison campaign, at a great political meeting at Faneuil HaF, a man from Tennessee by the name of Pear (pronounced Pare) had expressed a desire to spesfic. Accordingly in due time he was called upon. Graciously rising, and with apparent eagerness, he came forward; holding up one finger to his audience, he began thus: “I—Pear” The assembled multitude patiently waited through a long pause for more, but this was all! Pear had sat down. Another case is that of a gentleman of one of our large New England towns. Being much interested in phrenology, he proposed to give a lecture upon the subject. The time was announced, a large auclience assembled, and the lecturer duly appeared. Upon a table was placed a cast of a head. Approaching this, and laying his hands affectionately upon it, he began: “Ladies and gentlemen—This head n A long, long pause. Fixedly but minutely he looked at bis audience; so many heads (!) overcame him. He retired and sat down, while the people quietly laughed and dispersed.

He Knew He Was a Sinner.

“My dear boy,” said an earnest Sun-day-school teacher at the North End Mission to a frowsy urchin, “do you know that we are all sinners?” “Yes, marm.” “Do you know that you are a sinner?” “Yes, marm." A long and earnest talk followed, in which the claims of the gospel were fully set forth, but the teachefwas only rewarded by an tty Finally, it occurred to the teacher that perhaps She had taken the boy beyond his depth, and she inquired: “John, you know what a sinner is, don’t you?” “Sinners, marm? O, yes; sinners is strings in turkeys’ legs.” —Boston Globe. The cost of building and supplying the railroads of the more important States was as follows, in millions of dollars: New York, 807; Ohio, 825; Illinois, 588; Pennsylvania, 471; Missouri, 308; Minnesota, 307. The railroads of these six States cost about half as much as all the railroads in the United States.

To multiply proof in behalf of a remedy, the merits of which are so generally admitted, is of course unnecessary, For over a third of a century, beneath the observation of the American people and medical profess on, it has been working out its' mission of good, begun when the prejudice against proprietary remedies, now happily ove.-come, was strongly felt, yet no dissenting views have ever been expressed about its ethcacy.

Mocntaineeks in North Carolina and Tennessee have made a good deal of money digging the roots of the ivy. Ten and twelve dollars per ton is paid for them at the railroad stations. They are shipped North to be turned into door and bureau knobs, for inlaid and veneering work. These roots have been considered a nuisance in clearing land for but now will sell for far more than the price at which the land could have been bought two years ago. When the Mason k Hamlin Company announced the accomplishment of a great Improvement in Upright Pianos, which they, would soon give to the public, much was expected, because of the vast improvements which had been affected by them in reed instruments, and the acknowledged superexcellenoe of their organs. These expectations are fully justified by the pianos which they are producing, whl&h have extraordinary purity and refinement of tone. mechanic will see that the peculiarities of iheir construction must add greatly to their durability and especially their capacity to keep in good tune. This company have as great a future in their pianos as they are already realizing in their organs, which are confessedly unequalled among such instruments. —Boston Traveller. One of the liveliest campaigns that were ever carried on in North Carolina was -Hie one in which Vance and Judge Settle competed for the Governorship. All the white Democrats turned out to hear Vance, and all the colored Kepublicans to hear Settle. On one occasion, at the conclusion of the speaking, Vance was informed that there were some charming young ladies who desired to testify their devotion to the Democratic-party by kissing the Democratic candidate for Governor. Nothing loath, Vance descended from the platform and kissed a dozen or so young beauties from the Old North State, when he paused long enough to turn around toward his competitor and shout: “Settle, I’m kissing my women; you kiss yours 1” On account of their race and previous condition of servitude, Settle did not kiss the feminine K epublicans.

DR. JOHN BULL’S Sit’sTonicSPJ FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL IHSEASES The proprietor of this celebrated msdieine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the publio for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT oure of Ague and* Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no ease whatever willtit fail to oure if the directions are striotly followed and carried out. In a great many eases a single dose has been sufficient for a oure, and whole families have been oured by a single bottle, with a perfeot restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every ease more oertain to onre, if its use is oontinued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been eheoked, more especially in diffioult and long-standing oases. Usually this medioine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a oathartio medioine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonio, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY FILLB will be sufficient.

Pain is supposed to be the lot of us poor mortals, as inevitable as death, and liable at any time to come upon us.

Db.Sciienck: Dear Sir—ln looking over one of your books, in which I find so many lotters recommending your medicines, I have thought to myself now negligent I have been In not making ray case public, that others might take warning. In visiting my friends in New Jersey, a short time since, my attention was drawn to the many advertisements in large letters on different buildings and fences: Dr.Scheuck’s Pulmonic. Syrup, Soawcea Tonic and Mandrake Pills. As I looked at these, tears of gratitude fell from my eyes, and I thoughiwhatablcaslug that such anim asDr.Schenck should bo sent among us. Twenty-seven yoars ago I contracted a heavy cold, which settled on my lungs. I took many things that wore recommended for colds, but nothing seemed to relievo me. I made gallons of syrups with many different kinds of herbs; still I got no bettor. My husband would consult doctors, nut they gave him no encouragoment, only said I must die. I had then been afflicted over seven years. One of my sons Amo in one day and suid to me, "Mother, 1 have heard of a Dr. Schenck that is making great cures in Consumption; will you see him?" I had given up all hope of recovery, but he insisted upon It. Consequently I was taken over to Dr. Schenck, then In Bond street. He examined my lungs and gave me encouragement. I took tho Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills about two months, and felt as well as over I did.

Narmandin Jr., of Woonsocket, R.I. Dn. Schewck k Boh, Philadelphia: Dear Sirs—l have been cured of what I believe to have been Liver Complaint in its worst form, which, before I got relief, affected my lungs quite seriously. I had used the medicines prescribed by a physician of this place for a long time without benefit before I began to take your remedies. I first heard of them by your advertisement in the Pa/riot of tills place, and, concluding to use them, I purchased a bottle of Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonio. They gave me great relief, and by the time I had used them up I felt almost well. So I stopped using them for some time, but I soon found that the disease was not broken up. I then got more medicine, and continued using it until I was well. My symptoms were continuous cough,night sweats, raising of matter streaked with blood, soreness in my lungs and at tho pit of the stomach, which was also very much swollen at times. I was so weak that I could not go up-stairs without help, and was confined to tho hoifse tor many weeks. 1 was very much reduced In flesh and had no appetite, and nothing I ate seemed to digest. Since my recovery I have recommended your medicines to a great many, among others a lady who had what every one supposed to be Consumption of the lungs for four years. She has entirely recovered by tlie use of them, and is now a strong, healthy woman. I san also refer to others in this place who have been greatly benefited by their use. Yours truly, E.

I tried many remedies without receiving any benefit I was so sick that I thought many times that I should be compelled to give up preaching. lat last procured Dr. Schenck's remedies; in a short time they restored me to perfect health, and I have remained well to this day. X believe them to have great curative properties. Why I Have the Utmost Confidence in Dr. J. H. Schenck and His Medicines. During the past two years my mother and brother have died of Consumption. I was myself quite unwell most of this time, and when, shortly after their death, I was attacked with cough and severe hemorrhages, I naturaUy concluded that I was destined to go with the same disease. I immediately consulted a physician who made a specialty of lung diseases. After examining me he said that he thought my lungs wore sound and that I would soon recover. In less than a wee k after this I had another severe hemorrhage. Thinking that my physician had made a mistake in my case, I consulted another doctor. He thought my lungs affected, and prescribed for me for along time. I got no better under hi* treatment, but generally worse. My cough was very bad, my appetite entirely gone, I had severe pain in my right side, and for months 1 did not sleep more than two or three hours in a night. My tongue was heavily coated and I had a bad taste In my mouth. I had foe headache almost all the time. Keeling that something must be done, X at last concluded to consult with Dr. Schenck, the physician who, I think, I have good reason to believe To be the best in the treatment of lung disease. I went to tils office In Boston and was examined. He found my left lung quite badly diseased and my liver seriously affected. He told me that I could be cured if X would follow his directions. Of course I consented to do so, and I very soon saw that my confidence in his ability waif well placed. I took the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup all at one time, as directed byhim.asd within one month my worst symptoms wore gone. I went to see the doctor on his next visit to Boston, which was one month after the first time I saw him, and he said, “Only continue with the medicine and you will surely get welll did so, and kept on gaining in every way until I was perfectly well and able to work as usual. Since my recovery I have not lost a day’s time, except when I have made friendly visits to the Doctor at his Boston office. My cough is gone, my appetite is good, I have no headache or pain in my side, 1 sleep better than I ever did in my life, and ray Jungs are apparently healed, as 1 have no hemorrhages. * These are the reasons whyl believe in and recommend Dr. J. H. Schenck and bis medicines. He did J ust what he said he would do for me, and I believe that I owe my life to Ills medicines anil care. FRED F. TRULL. Hudson, Mass., May 25th, 1881. DR.

My liver became hard like wood; my limbs were puffed np and filled with water. All the best physicians agreed that nothing could cure me. I resolved to try Hop Bitters; 1 have used seven bottles; the hardness has all gone from my liver, the swelling from my limbs, and it has trorked a miracle in my case; otherwise I would have been now in my grave. J. W. Morey, Buffalo, Oct. 1,1881. Poverty and Suffering. “I was dragged down with debt, poverty and suffering for years, caused by a sick family and large bills for doctoring. “I was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I commenced using Hop Bitters, and in one month we were all well, and none of us have seen a sick day since, and I want to say to all poor men, jou can keep your families well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one doctor's visit will cost.
