The Chicago Tribune has the following glowing tribute to tho courage of our navy at Alexandria:

A cable from Alexandria says that "Tho .. .. n,,, ,i,,u,n American Admiral porforined a graceful celibacy. 1 er ia] of the Reformation. He says: "Although, Faustus. if you knew the advantage of Britain, truly you would hasten thither with wings to your feet and, if your gout would not permit, you would wish yourself possessed of the heart of Dicdalus. For, just to touch on one thing of many here, there are lasses with heavenly faces, kind, obliging, and you would far prefer them to all your muses.

act. yesterday. He (steamed around tho British licet, uml his mon cheered each ship In succession." The Admiral Is Indeed a brave man. Any one who will go right out on lie water In an American 'man-of-war dot*) not know what fear means.

A Washington special to the Cincinnati Commercial says: Thero Is a rumor utlout hero that Mrs. OarAeld has received a letter of assessment from Ilubbell's committee, assessing her 2 per cent, of the late President's salary..

We trust there is no truth in this, and don't believe there is. Mr. Hubbell appeared in a bad light, the other day, when Sam Cox exposed his attempt to bleed the students in the Indian school at Carlisle, and led the House to tack a non-assessment rider to the Sundry Civil bill. If Mr. Ilubbell has been guilty of this further indocenoy, ho will receive no respectable Republican support. Bui we repeat: \ve doubt the rumor.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Yesterday when tho news renched Constantinople that the British fleet had opened firs on Alexandria the Sultan fell into hysterics, and on recovering somewhat, culled for a glass of mastlo and sent TorUcn. Low Wallace. The distinguished Minister, anticipating something of the kind, was dressed for the occasion. Ho repaired at. once to the palaco, and after mi hour's private conversation with the -Sultan, offered voluntarily to go to Alexandria and put. a stop to tho conflict.. il« promised tho Sultan that as soon us he could stop the actual lighting, lie would call the Allied Powers together, treut them to champagne supper and recast the Eastern Question In such a way Hint thero would bo no more trouble during tills century. He chartered a steam yacht and started for the light. By some strange pervevsion ho took the irroug course, went eastward on the BoBpliorus and at last accounts was beating around the llluck Sen in the neighborhood of

Verna. It is a peculiarity of Gen. Wallace that Is unable to go with directness to the theatroof an actual battle. IIu has been known to lose his way before.

No reference toShiloh, we trust.

Samuel Dibble, who was ousted from his seat in the House of Representatives because he had no light these, lias gone back to South amlimi and concocted a unique plan tor

his district so tbut he

make it warm

for

who

Mr. Maekey,

rightfully took the seat he va

cated. It ia needless to say that his plan •with all its glaring ott'ensiveuetw, has been atloj,!-»" (y tlvo Legislature of his State. The reader will observe if he is industaious and cute enough to niastor this puzzle, that the First District, which is supposed to be Mr. Dibble's own, is so constructed as to take in, besides the most of his own county (Orangeburg), the whole of Lexington, strips of Colleton and Berkley, and Charleston city, which is about- all there is of Charleston county since the new county of Berkley was organized. Mr. Dibble has thus hitched together about all the Democratic precincts he could liml in the neighborhood of his home to make hie election sure, and in order to be safe the district is so limited that it contains only 11!,000 inhabitants, about 35,000 less than tho required population to entitle it to a representation. In contrast to this is the enrions Seventh district which contains all the precincts of black voters that *uld be strung to gether with tlie faintest connection of contiguous territory. In canvassing this district the candidates would have to travel about 200 miles within its extreme borders. It will be observed that the Fourth District is also :i curious string of "contiguous" territory, stretching from the north line of the State down and inclosing ColumLiu, -and is the only district, except the Seventh, which has the requisite population.

HISTOBIC KISSING.

The latest report is that Col. Williams of Indiana, who has gone as our Minister to Paraguay, lives on nothing but social clover. The custom of the country is for people to kiss when introduced, an "'as the Colonel was never a chronic victiuipf bashfulness, it is fair to infer that by this time his lips are raw in a good cause. The fact becomes specially interesting, as the Paraguay ladies are noted among travelers for their angelic beauty of face and figure. They are generally accorded the first place among the South American types of loveliness. Still, brother Williams need not feel puffed up, or otherwise pass his old acquaiiitances on the street when he comes back to the United States. JuBt as good people as he have gone through this blissful ordeal, and long before he was born. There is nothing new under the sun.

For instance, in the times of "Bluff King Hal," of England, when love was the order of the day, kissing was the customary mode of salute, and history has preserved a very quaint proof of it in a curious letter written by the great Erasmus, who lias been aptly styled the brains of the Reformatio^ while Luther was its nerve. For many years ho and Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor of England, sympathizing very greatly in religious matters, but still more in scholarship, were correspondents, but they had never met. Their correspondence had all been carried on in the dead languages, of which tbey were perfect masters. The great Chancellor finally sent his friend an urgent invitation to visit him in England, and Erasmus accepted. More was then at tho pinnacle of his splendor, unquestionably the ablest mind of that era, and little dreamt of the gloomy fate in store for him when he declined to sanction the lechery of Henry VIII in his fight with the Roman church on the question of divorce. It was in the mellow and luxurious hey-day of More's greatness that Erasmus called upon him at his quiet and lovely home on the banks of the Thames: His first impressions were favorable. The profound and witty ecclesiastic from Holland was expected to kiss all the ladies he met. Did he shrink from the struggle? Read the letter he wrote home to his friend Faustus and you can judge whether he was not in a fair way to break loose from the Roman fetters of

There is, besides, a practice never to be sufficiently commended. If you go to any place you are reeoivod with a kiss by all. If you depart on a journey, you are dismissed with a kiss. on return, kisses are exchanged. They come to visit you, a kiss the first thing. They leave you, a kiss all around. Do they meet you anywhere? Kisses in abundance. Lastly, wherever you go, there is nothing but kisses. And, if you, Faustus, had but once tasted them how soft they are, how fragrant! On my honor, you would wish not to reside here for ten years only, but for life."

C. 11. Henderson, of the Frst Baptist church of Terre Haute, was asked to resign several years ago, as lie said there was no hell. They reconsidered lie mattor, howeverrand now Jhat he has resigned to take another charge, they resolute largely and in glowing language.— Evnnsville News.

As the Rev. Mr. Henderson preaches his closing sermon to-day to his Terre Haute flock, it is a fitting time to answer the unkind thrust of our neighbor, the News. Mr. Henderson, a few years ago, advanced certain ideas on the question of a literal and everlasting hell fire that appeared r:ul ical to uoiue members of his congregation. lie ventured to doubt whether a God of LOVC intended to immerse His subjects in .a Iftjto that burned forever. Exception" was tajcep to this. Certain of the faithful, who were disposed to think they knew more about the matter than Mr. Henderson, were in favor of asking him to the rear.

A careful canvass of the situation, however, showed the remarks of Mr. Henderson, in so far as they were thought to imply a doubt of the existence of a hell, had been misunderstood. It wns simply a difference of opinion as to the intensity of the flames, Mr. Henderson's ideas being less radical on this point than some of the brethren thought warranted by the text of Scriptures.

But that ia neither here nor there. Mr. Henderson is entitled to his views quite as much as the brethren are entitled to their views, on a subject about which both of them know absolutely noting. "I hate botany, but I love flowers,'' was saying of the good Sir Thomas Browne "I lnite theology, but 1 love religion." Herein lies the marrow of the case. During his pastorate at 'JVr.re Haute, Mr. Henderson has been an oxpojient of the practical part of the Christian faitfy, a id that is just precisely what endears him to this community. He has fought shams, tyranny, and all uncharitableness, and his inuujsely warm personal efforts in behalf of iitic.orand manhood have accomplished more than all the cold dogmas of theology.

Mr. lIt?uilur.son is a rare exception1 to the average fujj of clergymen. Too! many of them fancy lUuif njission consists in holding aloof from the world, as if it was contaminated, and they pass the words of comfort around as if they were handling some delicate pi?A9 of wax-work. Mr. Henderson takes th* world as he finds it, approaches all tlie eiejuents in it without gloves on, and with public-spirited sympathy with the varied featutcvi .of life, and attracts a following which begins by believing in the man and ends by i^Iipving in his Christianity. Ho will be sii?cei-tf»» missed in Terre Haute, and will cajry jviiii Jpitn the esteem, devotion and good will p,f n,ot only his own flock bui .of all litr ejti-i zens.

It the Sultan acts thus be. must have backers among tho European Powers, and therefore, the European Conference is foredoomed to be a delusion and a snare.

Whether Mr. Gladstone Is In earnest It Is hard to say. lie must know very well that If Tnrkey Is secure of the support of Germany and Austria the British expedition to Egypt is somewhat perilous and that, on the other liand, the Sultan would scarcely venture to slap the British lion's face If he were not assured beforehand that his unwonted temerity would be Justified by the ultimate succor of big bat-, tallons, When Lord Beaconfield prepared for war with Russia, Germany and Austria were behind either as allies or friendly neutrals, but If Mr. -Gladstone

troops on Turkish soil is he sure of the neutrality of Qermuny and Austria? As to whether Turkey will consent to be frightened, that question must be answered at Berlin and not at Constantinople. Prince Bismarck Is more than ever the master of the European situation, and it may be that the present Egyptian Imbroglio is nothing more than a ruse of the wily Chancellor to break up tho halfshattered Anglo-French alliance, and to rivet the last link in the chain of Iron which envelops France on all sides."

The Newark Advertiser announces that a "stroke of good luck has fallen to AVilliam H. Hunt, late Secretary of the Navy, and now Minister to Russia. He has been somewhat embarrassed in his circumstances, but a Spaniard named Jose Domingo, who died in New Orleans on Sunday, having accumulated a large fortune by importing cigars during the last forty years, left his homestead to Mr. Hunt's daughter, and the balance of his estate to her fatlfer, after making a few bequests to relatives and friends. This unexpected gift is said to make Mr. Hunt one of the wealthiest men in the diplomatic service: What would be interesting now is the connection between Hunt and those cigars.

In California there are four women lawyers, of whom the widest known are Mrs. Laura De Force Gordon, who also edits a paper in Alameda county, and Mrs. Clara S. Foltz, who devotes herself somewhat to public sppaking.

A woman has been nppolntcd Rpgistrar of Births and Deaths In an English town, and great has been the dismay of. some at this entry of the thin end of what may prove a very thick wedge. It came out, however, that the woman had been for some time Registrar, de facto, and the appointment was only a sanction of her tenure, de Jurie.

The following clause .was found In the will of a Yorkshire rector: "Seeing tliat my daughter Anne has not availed herself of my advice touching the objectionable practice of going about with her arms bare up to the elbows, my will is that, should she continue after my death in this violation of the modesty of her sex, all the goods, chattels, money, lands and all other things that I have devised to her for the maintenance of her future life shall pass to the eldest son of my sister Caroline. Should any one take exception to this as being too severe, 1 answer that license In the dress of a woman is a mark of a depraved mind."

The London Telegraph lias this to say In favor of the women clerks: "They have not the genius for getting Into debt which Is an Indication of superiority displayed by their male colleagues. No matter how closely they may restrict themselves to their work from ten to four, tiie clever, 61eor-headed,vlgoronsj-ounggirls who are Government clerks are ready enough for society in the evening. They enter It with freshness of feeling, because they have honestly earned relaxation, and the fact that they are peculiarly Independent enables them to meet men frankly and on equal terms. TlieLr very success in examination and in office life implies their quickness, brightness, and good health, and these are the qualifications that tell In a sweetheart and wife as well as a Post ON flee clerk. The result is that they get married off with reasonable celerity, and'thns the official field is kept clcar by the weedout of brides, who relinquish red tape for orange blossoms, new girls coming in to take their place. For those, however, who cannot or will not marry the office duties provide a quiet, steady, and decorous career."

WASHINGTON, July 14,1882.

There i8 one very sad man in the Honse now-a-davs. It is Ben Butter worth, of Ohio. Ben was a short time ago the blithest of the blithe. He is an able man, his only fault being a too large amount of what is colloquially called "freshness." Ben came here, with a big reputation as a lawyer and a very big watch chain. lie worked well, but always was "fresh." Beinga. bright-man, and an able debater, he went along well enough until that day •when he dropped the gentleman and assumed the role of blackguard in his obscene remark about Sunset Cox, of New York. Ben, in his freshness, thought he was saying something very witty. In fact, he opined tliat in brilliancy of wit he was far surpassing anything that' Cox had ever said. He sat down perfectly satisfied with hini' self after he had made his utterance. He began in a few minutes afterwards to see his mistake. It was evident that his obscenity had not impressed any one as wit. Its bold ndecency was too much for even the House. He might have told his words in private to the statesmen and they would have been applauded, but when itcame to putting them forth on the floor of the Honse, it was going it altogether too strong. Butterworth began to get sad. He twirled his watch-chain with that please-look-at-me-no-more air, and when he heard from the press on the subject, Ben got sadder. He hardly twirled his watch-chain at all. He began to have deep anguish that he had not been a much better boy. But that is not the worst of it. His able constituents have been writing here to know exactly what their representative did say. His remark was too indecent to be published in its entirety even in a Police Gazette. These same constituents have been informed of the exact language of Benjamin, and now they are writing to him. They say that they will have no^nore to do with him. Tliey tell him that no longer can they insult themselves and their families by giving him support. This is whv Butterworth is so remarkably sad. "His freshness has departed from him. He does not now twirl his watchchain except on the sly or in the bosom of his family. He is "a man ruined by a sentence' He was of much more ability than even a select average of Congressmen, and bid fair to "make a leader in the House as soon as lie became a little less fresh. But he threw it all away by an expression which in his freshness he thought to be wit. No wonder he is sad.

Weather and Adjournment. We are having very funny weather in Washington. For two or three days it is so hot that everybody, even his most enthusiastic followers, are willing to admit that Bob Ingersoll is wrong and then for two or three days it is sufficiently cool for pater-familias to Say to his family that there is no earthly necessity for them to go away for the summer. It is sort of funny how these changes affect the talk of adjournment. When the hot spell is on, the talk runs high among Congressmen. They are going to get away in a very few days. When the cool comes on, however, there is a change in the tone of conversation. Then they are not so eer tain about adjournment. There "is too much of importance to be done, you know, to warrant "any undue haste in legislation." And so it runs on. Neither house can say when the sun" goes down that the aforesaid orb has seen some worthy action done. His solar majesty has simply looked down upon some more Congressional dawdling. A postscript to it all: Congress will adjourn between the 28th day of July atid "the 1st day' of August. No better fegjilt cap be depended upoii.

Aii Absence.

The last days of the session are this time remarkable for the absence of a certain class. Usually tho closing hours of a session are marked with swarms of lobbyists and the advocates of various schemes, who hope to get their little projects rushed through at the last moment. This lime it is different. But very few iobbersare on hand now. Of course there are some of this guild here, but their number is like the Democratic vote in Iowa very small. Their absence is probably due" to the fact that (he present session is not coming to a close with the customary last days' rush. Without the rush the schemerand jobber stands but a very poor show for his white alley. The prolongation of the end of the session may thus be of unusual benefit to the country. But, although the last-hour jubbers will be disappointed, do not for a_moment imagine

English, but it abounds in facts which fgr their truthfulness are absolutely startling. The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.

Hon. John C. New, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who returned from a visit to Indiana a few days ago, has resumed his business of doing nothing i|t tl)e Treasury. He has had a good many cajlers,' nil fff whom he has entertained by fi glowing description of the condition of the "crops" in Indiana. I never thought Mr. Jsew to he much of a fanner but the way he handled the "crops"—in conversation—of Indiana, must put him in the front rank of the horny-handed. His description of the overflowing wheal "era]) in the State is something that one could listen to for hours. The corn is not so good as the wheat, but to hear Mr. New tell even about it is to wish that one were a farmer. Telling about Indiana crops is about all that Mr- New Jws to Until he goes away for tho summer. Speaking about this'reminds me that I am—hold your breath!—going to hike a tour myself. The result of my observations "here and there" may be found in the chaste columns of the Express and other able journals who, for lucre, which it is a mistake to call lilthy, employ the undersigned.

Something About Mr. .Stephens. Mr. Alexander Stephens who rejoices to be called the. "great commoner." left last night for Georgia to fix up the pins which are to secure his election as Governor of the State. There is no doubt that he w'll get the nomination and will be duly elected. Somehow or other the Democratic candidates in Georgia have a confirmed habit of being elected. But to my story. Mr. Stephens, just before leaving said in an interview which has been widely copied, that he had never been a candidate for any office that his election did not follow. Allow me to make a fojrrec tiuiv .1 would not enter yito this subject unless (here w,is .a. little fuu, hanging as a mist about iti' -Mr. Stephens was once to tjiy eertajn ):nowledre a defeated candidate, &ioftly'tu'ter the war, wuen Gen. John B. Gordon came to tho Senate, Stephens was a candidate also. Bob Toombs was his lieutenant in the campaign. All looked well until the day for the Legislature to commence balloting at Atlanta was at hand. Toombs went into the galleries and looked down upon either house pf the Legislature. He then proceeded sorrowfully to the Kimball House, where Stephens had his headquarters, and saia: "Aleck, it's no use."' Gordon has got us: he is going to be elected. Why, there is not a whole man in the entire Legislature many have but one le^, more have but one arm and more still hare but one eye, and they all fought /unjder..Gordon. We cant do anyHVHitf..'.'

FACTS

THAT ARE ESTABLISHED

BY TESTIMONY.

Wo wish to draw the attention of the reader to a few facts which we will afterwards confirm by the most unimpeachable testimony. First, it is a fact that in this everchanging climate wu are one and all exposed to sudden heat and cold, bringing on chills, coughs and colds, which in their turn produce Astlnna, Bronchitis, Ulcerated Sore Throat or Consumption. It is a fact that Rheumatism is getting more prevalent every day, and has become chronic with many sufferers. It is a fact that Neuralgia renders the existence of many thonsands a life'of martyrdom. It is a fact that Catarrh has horrors that no one can form any conception of, except those who suffer. It is a fact that Croup carries more children to the grave than any other infantile disease. It is a fact that we are all liable to accidents, and may get hurt or cut, burned, scalded or bruised, lio.wever careful we may be and it is a fact that we are at all times subject lo organic derangements of a serious nature, which too often terminate fatally. These are facts which bear no dispute. But the next fact is one of serious importance to the -public, for every one should know it. It is this, that

Thomas' Eclectric Oil

is a positive, reliable and certain cure for all the ailments enumerated, as well as for many others incident to the constitution, ..such as Stiff Joints, Swelled Neck, Sprains, Chapped Hands, Lame Back, Blind and Bleeding I'iles, Chilblains, Frosted Feet, Pains in the Back or any part of the system. -Jil fact, it is a remedy that stands paramount above all others. It is equally effective externally or internally, and all who have ever used it are never without it.

These are facte which are proved by the following testimony, which we challenge the world to contradict:

A Baptist Minister'gJExperience. I am a Baptist minister, nnd before I ever thought of belli uated in medicine, practice for my profession

I was for many years a sufferer from lulnsy"Tlioiuna' kelectric Oil cured ate." I was also troubled witli hoarseness, uul Thomas' Eclectric Oil always relieved inc. My wife and child had diphtheria, ind "Thomas Eclectric Oil cured them," and if taken in time it will cure seven times out of ten. 1 ain conlldcst. it Is a cure for the most obstinate cold, and if any one will take a small teaspoon and half till it with the Oil, and then place the end of the spoon into the head by snitliug as hard as t.hey can, until tiie Oil fails into the liiroat, and practice that twice a week, I jon'teare how offensive their head liiay be, It will clean it out. and cure their catarrh. For deafness and earache It has done wonders to my certain knowledge. It is the only medicine dubbed patent medicine that 1 have ever felt like recommending, and am very :inxious to see it in every place, for 1 tell you that I would not be without it forany consideration. 1 am now suffering with a pain like rheumatism In my right limb, and nothing relieves me like Thomas' Eclectric Oil. l.)K.

l'o the proprietors of Thomas' Electric Oil: UENTS-Last March I took a severe cold, and, being negligent in doctoring It, brought the Asthma on me very severe. I could not. not lie down or sleep for wheezing and shortness of breath. I took this tiling und that, and tried different-doctors, but found no relief. Six months ago I saw an advertisement in tiie papers recommending Dr. Thoma's Eclectric Oil, so 1 thought I would try that,and wonderful to relate, yet nevertheless true, the lirst dose 1 took relieved me in a few minutes,and before I had taken onefourth of a fin-cent bottle I could breathe freclv and sleep as well as ever. It is equally as magical forcuts, bruises, burns and rheumatism. 1 woko up a few" mornings since with sucli a pain In my chest, that 1 could not draw ,i long breath, M.v wife said, "rub on Thomas' Eclectric oil." I did so, and In a few minutes tho pain was gone, and I have not felt it since, My wife, also, IIA(1 a severe attack of rheumatism ill the arm and side. Htie applied tiie oil with the same result. I would not lie without it If 1 had to walk ten miles for It, and then pay Su for a ft) cent bottle. I send you this testimonial hoping you will publish it, so I hat sutl'ei'jng humanity may be relieved of thelraches and pains.
