It i understood that Queen Victoria and Kaiser William will meet at Baden early in April. It ia remarked of Mr. Cleveland, that "he la a crack on the sabjest of. honesty." A goad point to be "cranky" about. 1 he United States Senate will convene In special session at noon on the Oh. of March. This present Congress endj at midnight of the 3d. Thz engagement of Miss Chamberlain, the famous Cleveland beauty, now in Europe, ia announced. An English baronet is the happ7 man. The New Jersey Legislature refused to conCur in the proposed prohibition amendment to the Constitution of that State. The vote Stood 37 to 20. It's a Kilkenny cat fight the Republicans are waqiDg against each other now-a-days. By 1SS nc thing will be left of the factions except the tails. How fk&vidlt the Blaine organs do hope for a complete failure of the incoming Administration ! It sticks out like "quills upon the fretful porcupine." The assistant postmaster at Dallas, Tex., liaa been arrested for embezzlement. IIa U an Ohio man. By the way, luck seems t) have forsaken the "Ohio man." A Paris cablegram of the 20th gives the information that te Fenians and dynamiters ia l'aiis were preparing for further attacks on public buildings in London. Ex Governor Long, cf Massachusetts, calls the American Navy "an alphabet of wooden a:htubs." "Why this gratuitous Blur at one cf the most useful articles of domestic economy? Jiff Davis made two wretched mistakes In his life. The first was the Confederacy enterprise, and the other his unpardonable failure to tarn Republican when the aforesaid enterprise failed. The New York World asks: "Why not settle the long Senatorial contest in Illinois by a civil Eervice examination?' That touchstone would close the contest too abruptly ior "Black Jackjs" comfort. Welch, who baa been on trial for murder at Bloomin&ton for several days past, goes to the Penitentiary for life. The jury reached an agreement yesterday at 2 o'clock, after deliberating forty-eight hoars. Perhaps the reason tbat the Treasury vaults are leaded down with silver dollars is because there never has been a Secretary of the Treasury who ever made an energetic effort to get them into circulation. Suppose the new Secretary makes this effjrt. Here is some more fool talk from Albany as noted by the New York Herald: "Mr. Cleveland has shaken up some fifteen or twenty narae3 of prominent Democrats in a hat, and he proposes to take them oat one by one and give them positive consideration in the order of their drawing." High license haa been defeated in the Minnesota Legislature. A bill providing for a graduated minimum license fee has been reported favorably by the Temperance Committee. It provides for a varying fee, from S1C0 in small towns to $.100 in cities of 2 000 or more inhabitants. It is thought that this bill will pass. (Xcasiosally a Republican editor itching lojaay something mean about Mr. Cleveland throws out a miserable innuendo that ha licks "culture." We were just looking over the brief list of Eepublican Presidents and wondering whether Grant or Hayes would take first premium for "culture" from the Committee of Awards. Gkoegi Alfeed Townsesd (Qath) is quoted as saying that Mr. Cleveland is wholly ?lven over to the arriatocratlc element. This sounds very like the talk of a fool. Mr. Cleveland's movements and conversations euggest the very opposite, and thi3 fellow "Gath" knows It, if he knows anything about Mr. Cleveland, A witkess swore in court in Nashville, Tenn., last Saturday, that he had seen convicts at Coal Creek cook and eat rats in the rcices. Convicts worked in six and twelve inchts of water tight hours per day, and also labored Sunday nights. The mines were filthy, the air bad and the clothing scanty, and the fcod insufficient They were whipped for failing to complete tasks, and their cries were heard seventy yards distant There is evidently a new Warden wanted :t the TennesEee Penitentiary. What"! the matter with Jeff Davis for Demo Ctic Secretary ol Wart Journal. Tbe Republican party first introduced Confederates to Cabinet positions. All that kept "Jeff" from Federal patronage was his refusal to turn Republican. If he had com promptly to the scratch with Longstreet, Xey, Moseby and Chalmers, there is no telling wnat honors the Republican party would have showered upon him. A scccf.p-os to Representative Logan, wbo dropped dead at Springfield, 111., Thursday luoming, will be elected March 21. The Governor of Illinois haa ordered a special leclioa lor that day to fill tbe vacancy. Mr. Logan lived at the town of Morrison. The leading aspirants for the Illinois seat in the T'cited States Senate are Logan and Morrison. Coincident students will please make a note. Tbk frauds which have been perpetrated in Chicago are of little consequence Xo the country at large, either in their extent or their effect, when compared withthoes which fiave been systematically practiced in half the States of the South for more than ten J-ears. The frauds discovered In Chicago t9 nothjpg compared with thro which.

have disgraced New Orleans for years. Chicago Tribune. Do yon refer to the Radical rascalities ia Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida In 1S7C? By the way, talking about Chicago Republican rascality, Mackin told a Journal reporter ia this city that the proposition was cade him in Chicago that if he would "fix" cne or two Democratic Legislative votes for Legan his prosecution would cease.

WAIT ON LIB. CLEVELAND'S SAY. If the Sentinel or the Democracy of In diana were exercised by no stronger a yearning that Joseph E. McDonald be called to the Cabinet than is Joseph E. McDonald himself, we should have little to say on the subject. Nor do we now speak for Mr. McDonald, whom we have not seen for weeks, but for Indiana and the party, In common with the Democrats of the State, we recognize in him tbe statesmanship, with all that term comprehends, which would distinguish the administration of one of the departments of the Government Whether in honesty or practical sagacity, no man is better equipped than he for a portfolio. We also think Indiana entitled to such recognition as has been indicated for Mr. McDocaid. Some of the reportorial gentry who have assumed the construction of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet have suggested in the recent hours that Mr. McDonald is not to be placed. With deference to these lead-pencil seers we Bhall conclude who are and who are not in the President's Cabinet when he himself has said it Our one regret is that Mr. Cleveland and Mr. McDonald have never met. We are confident tbat had this occurred the President-elect would have recognized in his nV a-vis a man so matching his own dircctnes?, pith and force, that no influence coald have ! kept him from offering or Mr. McDonald I from accepting a place in the Cabinet. SOUIHERN DIPLOMACY. If Lamar must go into the Cabinet, he shculd do so as Secretary of State. lie was the Ccn'cderate Minister to Russia during cur unpleasantness, and we naturally want tbe diplomacy of the Southern Confederacy tobe introduced into international a2alr3. Commercial Gazette. Oh! "we naturally want the diplomacy of the Southern Confederacy introduced intD international affairs" do we? Well you Republicans know all about it; yoa can speak by the card from actual experience. General Longstreet, one of the great forces cf the Confederacy, was sent abroad on a foreign mission by the Republican party. Was it to introduce in tae words of the charming confession of oar esteemed Cincinnati contemporary "the diplomacy of the Southern Confederacy into International affairs?" "We naturally want it," says the C. G. The Hayes administration did not "want" it very long. In the name of the Republican party "the want" was promptly gratified, and thus it came about that "the diplomacy of the Southern Confederacy" was introduced by the Republican party "into international affairs" through a distinguished Confederate general. This, however, is not the only instance. We have another brilliant illustration in the checkered career of General Moseby. The Republicans called him the "Gurerilla Moseby" daring his nnregenerate days, but as soon as he and General Grant began hob-nobbing together over sugar-water n the White House, and he declared for Republicanism, he was promoted to a full colonelcy and given a foreign consulate. Thus we see how beautifully and artistically "the diplomacy of the 63ithern Confederacy" meets and blends with our international affairs through the instrumentalities of Republicanism. THE GOOD AND THE BAD. j An old Hindoo proverb says that "a sky i full of clouds does not extinguish the sun." There is brightness on the other side if we can forget what we see long enough to believe what we may see. The Liberal Ministry of England seems in a fair way to illus träte the adage. The clouds have been thickening over it with ominous rapidity and darkness, and the general world, as well as the conservatives, have felt confident tbat the only break in the gloom would be when tbe storm fell and the 6un came out for the cheering and hope of the opposition. Yet there comes a gleam of light in two or three places. Toe colonies on our side of the Atlantic and those on the other side of the globe are prompt and earnest in offering aid to the government in its strait, and a recent dispatch says that in the debate or address to the ijaeen declaring a want of confidence in the Ministry, "the Earl of Carnarvon implored the Earl of Derby, Secretary of State fer the Colonies, to let nothing stand in the way of acceptance by the government of the offers made by the colonies, which would enable them to act in the field in one body with the Qaeen's army. It would," the speaker said, "be a great step in the federation of the colonies." Then, while the situ, ation in the Soudan is one of the gravest that any English ministry has bad to encounter since the Afghan war more than forty years ago, it offers the best opportunity the government has ever bad to consolidate its power by an Incorporation of ail its elements into one federative body. We can easily conceive that the Canadian, Anstralian and South African contributions to the army in the Soudan, taking part' in all the porilsand struggles and possible victories, will send back home an Influence for a close and enduring anion that could never grow out of any situation that maintained eachin its own remote separation The regiments from New South Wales, from New Zealand, from Cape Colony, from the Canadaa, marching, fighting, suffering In hospitals, helping each other on desert expeditions, mixing In all the exigencies and triumphs of war, will be knit together, as our own soldiers were, by a bond of association and commcn experience stronger than any tie of blood attenuated by generations of living and working divided by the whole breadth of the planet. Then going home and diffusing everywhere the spirit of fellowship and renewed kin dred that each would take back with it, the tendency to a federative union, in which each should take its part, as our States do in our Union, would be lrreeiatlble. It would by a long step indeed, aa the Carl of Carnarvon says, to an anion of the colonies in a federation with the mother country. The changing conditions of business might possibly would probably in time weaken the bonds of this union, and leave one or more of the members to maintain independence or form new connections, nearer, hnae, bat

for one generation it seems almost certain that a federation of the English colonies would be maintained with a strength of attachment and of wealth, population and energy, that would balance any loss of mere commercial dependencies like Egypt. Another gleam of encouragement is said to appear in the probability that the Irish Nationals will support Gladstone against the Conservatives if they canbs assured of a release from some of the onerous restraints that were enacted in retaliation of some of the outbreaks cf Irish resentment If there should appear here a sort of "entering wedge" for a conciliation of Irish discontent, it is not impossible that a little restoration of good feeling may bs followed by more, and in the end a more complete independence in domestic affairs for Ireland than will ever be ejected by dynamite operations. It would seem to an observer on this side of tbe ocean that a short ?r way to an independent republic lies through an independence in domestic control, like that of a State in our Union, attained by a compromise of differences than through a conflict embittered by a mntnal belief of each party in the irredeemable depravity of the other. At all events there opens here and there a gleam of hope in the "Egyptian darkness" ef the Liberal situation in England, whether it broadens into permanent light or is clouded over as soon as eeen. The condition cf affairs on the Nile is about as bad as it can be, short of the capture or destruction of the English forces, but the political situation at home seems hardly bo desperate as it has sometimes been described.

THE STATE DEBT. The State in 1S3G began a system of internal mprovements which proved in the end the most serious embarrassment wa were ever burthened with. Congress had previously given us a large donation of land along the line of the Wabash and Erie Canal to aid that enterprise, and the work had been prosecuted with as much sacce3s as any work under such auspices could be: that is, a large section of the canal had been completed and the remainder surveyed, with at least a large part of the means on hand to prssecuta it. The State then eassumed the work, with several other Improvements one of them was the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad, another the Central Canal, and borrowed, ou C per cent, bonds, the money to go on with them. The Wabash Canal was completed to Terre Haute, or in that vicinity; the Madison Railroad was running to Vernon, and the Central Canal was a pretty fair sort of artificial water course from Broad Ripple to Indianapolis, with sections more or less advanced on the north to Noblesville and on the south to Martinsville. The great financial crash of 1337 did not get West in full disastrous strength for ayearortwo. and Indiana went on with her work and made more and mora debt, while the Eastern States were taking an account of assets and looking atter compromises with creditors. The water was let into the Central Canal in the summer of lS.i, and about a year later the State stopped paying interest on her bonds. For five years the State's creditors seemed to know that it would be useless to press their claims; but after a suspension of about five years they arranged a compromise, with en idea of enabling the State to so far settle her pressing debts as to leave her a chance to provide for her bond creditors. The arrangement was the most important transaction, financially, that the State had ever been concerned in. It practically amounted to a new loan to the State at 5 per cent, which was made by Democratic foresight and sagacity a part of the school fund. The State settled flö.000,000 ot her debt by the compromise in 1840-17, which gave her European creditors that amount as the satisfaction of their claims. At the time that this Legislative order was made the State was still suffering from the depreciation of credit that followed the "bank panic" in 1S57. We have brought this case up at tne present time because ' history is philosophy teaching by examples," and we find that there are sarious troubles that come in the way of any general system of policy, no matter how shrewd and sagacious it appears. CABINET RUMORs. The Cabinet slates are all sponged out once more, and everybody is on the "qui vive" for a new one. It is announced that the more recent one, which had a semiOfficial odor about it waa giyen to the papers without the authority of Governor Cleveland. This list embraced Bayard for the State; Manning, Treasury; Lamar, Interior, and Vilas, Postmaster General. Tne President-elect gives no information as to the personnel of his advisers, and repeats hia former intention that he will not announce bis Cabinet until he is inaugurated; there is no use for it until that time, and that it will be ready to go to work with him when the Constitution says its official life must begin. There is a disposition in some quarters to find fault with McLean of the Enquirer, because it begins to look as if he had spoiled Ohio's opportunity for Cabinent favors. An Albany special charges him with having giyen both Thnrman and Pendleton "bai james," and that be told Governor Cleveland that Thurm an was old and infirm and of bid habits, and that Pendleton had a record tbat would not stand investigation; but althoueh he has succeeded In keep'ng two of hia enemies out of the Cabinet, he has not succeeded in getting himself, or any particular friend of his, into it. He allowed "Gath" to publish the Hal pin scandal in the Enquirer, and then wasted to get the patronage of office into his own bands and those of Fayne, as a consideration for his support of the Democratic National ticket Governor Cleveland has not forgotten there facts, and the consequence is tbat McLean and no Ohio friend of his will get into the Cabinet These, however, may be mere tumors kept afloat by tbe Republican papers to add to the general uncertainty of matters connected with the building of the Cabinet. The talk about giving New York two places in the Cabinent one to Mr. Manning, another to Mr. Whitneycan hardly have any reliable foundation. These Albany correspordents seem to be blessed with wonderful and prolific imaginations, and much of this daily elate making and elate smashing seems to be the work of their hands. It is the opinion of Mr. George L. Wright, of St, Louia, that neither the Missouri nor

MieeissippiRiver Appropriation bills will get a dollar this year, and farther, that the River and Harbor Appropriation bill will be defeated. He thinks the Republicans will thus revenge themselves on the South for having voted against the Republican candidate in 1S31. But if the Republican Congressmen do so foolish a thing as that, the whole countryexcept Skowhegan, Me , and Wayne County, Ind. will vote agaiast the next Republican candidate.

Tbe answer was that ?uch immunity "could noteaioly be granted." So, although his countrymen in Canada are still anxious for him to visit them, says the Pi'ot "as he can not afford to alarm his family and perhaps seriously interfere with his business by such sn experiment, it is not probable that he will go." Mr. Webster was once spending the sum mer in a town near Boston, and, as was hi8 custom, attended church regularly both morning and afternoon. On one occasion it fell to the lot of an unfledged youth to try h:s wings in that pulpit He rose, as was tatural, with some trepidation, to begin the service. This trepidation gradually increased till, toward the close of the hymn, he faltered perceptibly, and as he eat down by the side of the minister of the parish he whispered: "Doctor, I don't know to whom those ejes belong which are directly facing me, but they are quite too Auch for me, and I can not preach." Mr. Webster was responsible for an extemporaneous discourse that morning. Boston Advertiser. A while ago some gentlemen, among whom was Senator Lamar, made a morning call on Clara Morris. They found her at breakfest, although the hour was noon. In her lap was her packet of morning latters. She amused her friends by reading to them some of the thoughts of her uncommonly bright correspondents. The Senator saw an envelope, and said: 'That's Watterson's writing. Do let us hear what he has to say!" Tbe actress complied, and read the first four sentences through, which turned out to be this: "Clara, I am satisfied you are my ene my, if not, why do you speak to severely about my friends? Why, O why, in your last do you allude to your admirer and my hero, Lamar, as Old Soap Locks? It is terrible." Tableau!

Who Wti Bright? The name of Bright is frequently on the tongues of people who know nothing, or little, cf who "Bright" was, or the nature of tbe peculiar derangement of vital f auctions with which his name has long been liatel. Dr. Bright was a famous British surgeon and anatomist He made the kidneys ani their disorders his special study. He first aointei cut the tature of tb.9 granular degs-tration of the tissues of the kidneys, aid showed the demoralization -f these organ whea in such a condition that their secreting powers are so impaired that ths mea is not sufficiently separated from the blood. Ia ths unpleasant condition of the Internal esoiorny which is known aj "Bright's diseais." elbumen is carried o7 with the watery excretions from the bladder. This imoiverlfchfs the system almost as greatly ai would copious and eystematlc bleeding, for the albumen ia needed in the bady, being, in fast, one of the great agents in nutrition. Th038 wbo labor under ths disadvantage of "Bright's disease" are liable to grievous congestion and inflammation, not only of tbe kidneys, but of other important oran. Coma, convulsions and apoplexy may osjur as part of the progress of the disease. Tans it will be seen that the malady is not a mere kidney ailment, but one involving ths decay of tbe vital forces of the body. ' -Bright" s disease" is proverbially hard to cure. Nay, more tban that, it is generally proncunced incurable. As soon as ths patient begins to show clear evidences of being afllicted with this matady the doctors give him up and tell him to prepare for death. Tbey can alleviate his suffering, and do ronieth'tng to temporarily arrest his inevitable decay, bat bevond this they give him no hope. An eminent physician in a recent addre33 before the New" Jersey Medical Society, said: "The modern physician, in his multitudinous drazs, fiads few remedies. Medicine fiodi its hihf st trinmphs in the prevention, not in tbe cure, of disease. Win cures rbeuroatiBm, or typhoid fever, or chionic Bright's disease? and jet, who refrains from prescribing?" Now. we will all area that prevention is a erf at deal better than cura. Bat when we find some fello v mortal actually in the power of a terrible disease "Rright's," for instance it is too late to talk of preventive measures. Something must be done toward cure, if cure be po6sibl9. To thousands of anxious men and women the vital que3tioi to-day is, "Can Bright's diseass be cured?' To others, means of prevention may have in terest but to those on whom the disease has its grip tbe question ot cure is a personal matter of life or death. Ail who are thus concerned will be greatly interested in the experience of a gentleman well-known in Philadelphia, who was so severely atHct9d with Bright's disease" that the physicians gave him up. His present condition of heartiness is such as naturally to awaken curiosity as to bow his recovery was effected. Mr. George W. Edwards is a well known Philadelphian, now in middle Ufa. His father was one of the most public-spirited citizens of the Quaker City, who did much to improve the place by the erection of a number of hotels and other edifices of public valce and permanent adornment. Mr. Elwards, Sr., died about twenty years agi of Bright's disease, and so did his wife. The present Mr. Edwards thus inherited the disease from both father and mother, ani at an early period cf his life was under its powar to such an extent that he becane a confirmed invalid, with but little hope of recovery. One of our editorial staff, who had himsalf been threatened with Bright's diseass, and was anxious to Bee a man who had been brought out of it recently satisfied hi) curiosity by a visit to Mr. Edwards. On being intrcduced to that gentleman at his place of business, he thought there must be si tne mistake in the person, so hearty and robust did Mr. Edwards appear. But Mr. Elwards assured him that he was indeed the man, and

save the account of his experience much ai I "Yes, I bad Bright's disease. My father and mother died of it; so did two of my brothers. It came on me slowly and gradually. I passed much albumen, and many epithelial caEts, which are the surest indications of tbe ravages of the disease. For three years I was so prostrated as to be unable to attend to business. I was utterly exhausted. Not only was I unable to walk with comfort, but I could scarcely walk at ail. I averaged hardly an hour's sleep in twenty-four, and even that little was broken and unsatisfactory. Naarly aU tbe time I suffered with severe neuralgia pain in my head and rheumatic pain in my joints. My digestion was miserable. I wa nervous aad continually disturb?.!. At the St George Hotel, where I lived, I foaad it impossible to take my meaU at the table, for my nerves were in sac a a state that tie rattling ot the knives and forks distressed me, and compelled me to leave the dining raom. Tbe little I was able to eat was brought tj my room. 1 could take a little meat bat no vegetables; and I can assure yoa that eating was not a pleasure to me. "Did I take much medical treatment? Oh, yes, but I can not say that it did ma any apJarent good, unless, perhaps, In case ot the ast phjsiclan who attended me. He brought me np to a condition in which there was something in me for the Compound Oxygen j to take hold of." "Compound Oxygen? Did you try that; and what it do for you?" "Yes, that was what brought me to where you see me now. It was this way: I was in a very exhausted condition, and my friend, Mr. Hagan, of Front street who had been made a new man by it, told me that he thought there would be some chance for me if I would try Compound Oxygen. The prospect did not at first seem very encouraging, yet I thought I would make the trial. So prostrated was I that walking from the St George Hotel to Starkey & Paten's offiia, which is not over half a mile, completely used n?j up, and I had to rest for two hours after making the effort This was my first attempt at going out After this when I went to the office for treatment I took a cab fortke first few visits. But the necessity for the cab did not last a great while. The Compound Oxygen did not begin to do its work suddenly, but what it did it did well. In about ten days the severe pains in my head were greatly relieved, and before many more days they were gone. Then I began to gain in strength. Gradually the rheumatic pains went away, my digestion improved, so that eating was not the torment it had been. I soon became able to enjoy refreshing sleep, and this added to my comfort and gave me new strength. "For two months I took the Oxygen Treatrcent at Starkey & Falen'a office, daily gaining. When I first began to take it I was so weak that I could not inhale for mora than ten or fifteen seconds. By stealy practice and with increasing strength, I found myself able to inhale for nearly a minute at a time. I besan in March. 18S2, and I finished in May. By this time I was so well that I needed no more treatment" "Have yon ever had occasion to resort to tbe treatment again?" "Never but once. Then 1 thought I felt some indications ot a return of my old trouble. The OBe of the Compound Oxygen for a very short time set me to rights. Now I am able to attend to business regularly and cheei fully. I live in the country and come to town every day. I Bleep eoundly, take a good deal of active exercise, eat pretty much everything I want and my digestion is gDod. What more can I ask for?" "Yoa are a firm believer in Compound Oiy?en, then, Mr. Edwards?" 'Most certalnlv and thoroughly. After wbat it has done for me I am free to speak well ol it, ana to recommend it to others as a great vltalizer and restorer." Such a case as this one is surely calculated to make people think. Thinking is good; acting is better. In such diseases as "Bright's" there is no time to be lost If you have even the slightest indications of an attack send to Drs. Starkey & Falen, 1101) Glrard street Philadelphia, tor their treaties on Compound Oxygen, and tnl3rm yourself

Letter to Mr. Cleveland. Written for the Ingleide bj Bill Nye. Hon. Grover Cleveland, President elect, Albany, K. Y, : Dear Sip. Tbe painful duty of turn:n? over to yon the administration cf these United States and the key to the froat door of tbe White Houss has been assigned t) me. You will find the key hanging ioeid tbe storm door and the cistern pole up3taLrs in the haymow of the barn. It is expected -that you will make such ctarges in your Cabinet and other farnitur as you may see fit. The asparagus bei, however, will need a little top dre-siai i th spring, and you can do as yoa sj fit about putting pillow-shams on the ple-plaat bed. In your attitude toward foreign powers yoa will, of course, have your own ideas, ai l a suggestion from me at this time would be entirely out of place. Govern the people with a firm, yet gentle hand.and pat a Iit-le rat-poison down the celiar where it will do the-most good. You will observe, on taking possession of tbe administration, that tbe navy is a little tit weather beaten and wormy. I wjuld suggest that it be newly painted in ths frpiing. If it had been my good fortuie to receive a majority of the suffrages of tae potle for the offlce which yoa now hold. I should have painted the navy rd. Süll, tbat need not intfuence yoa in the coarse which yoa may Bee fit to adopt relative to our Hosting aggregation of war-lika worms and blue-eyed barnacles. I am cot so much worried over the navy, but it would be a good plan to get a good man to clean out lie White House well befere much of the water is used, ai a foreign embassador was last seen around there, and for the past six weeks the water has had a rich, foreign flavor. You will find ail papers in their appropriate pigeonholes, and a small ar cf cucumber pickles down cellar, which were left over, and to which you will be p?r fectly welcome. The asperities and heart burniDpa tbat were tbo immediate resilt of a Lot and unusuallv bitter caoipaiga, are now all buried. Take these pickia aud nse tLem as though they were your o a. They are cone too good f or you. Yoa deserve them. We may difter politically, bt that need not interfere with our warm, personal friendship. You will find half a tan of coal left over, and an old ax in the woodshed, which a rxan from Ohio left with us to have ground. Of course, 3 ou do not make a business of receiving presents, but you can not refuse to receive these as a elight testimonial of regard and not in the nature of a bribe. Take them. They are yours. Tbe grindstone is also in the wood shed. It is very much ou of repair, and as your chief relaxation will consist in turning this grindslone, either for the purpose of grinding the ax of some great man, or revolving it while the people hold their nose against it' it would be well, perhaps, to get a now one at once. There are many affairs of great moaieut which I have not enumerated in this brief letter, because I felt some little dslicacy and timidity about appearing to be at all dictatorial or officious about a matter wherein the public might charge me with interference. I hope yon will receive the foregoing in a friendly spirit, and whatever your convictions may be upon graat questions of national interest either foreign or domestic, that you will not undertake to blow out the gas on retiring, and that you will, in other ways, realize the fond anticipations which are now cherished on your behalf by a mighty people whose appregated eye is now on you. Bill Nye. P. S. You will be a little surprised, no doubt, to find no soap in the laundry or bath-rooms. It probably got into the campaign in some way and was absorbed. B. N. Editor Tribune: DEiR Sir Should the foregoing be worth $10 to jou please 083 it freely, otherwise, I will pay return expressage on it. Yours truly, BlLL VE . As the Dead Sea drinks in the river Jordan and is never the sweeter, and the ocean all other riyers and is never the fresaer, so are we apt to receive daily mercies from God, and still remain insensible to them, unthankful for them. Bishop Reynolds. Eternity is crying out to yoa louder and louder, 83 you near its brink. Rise, be going! Count your resources; learn what you are not fit for, and give up wishing for it; learn what you can do, and do it with the energy of a man. F. W. Roberton. "Oh, yes, in raising children I find It indispensable," said a lady friend of oars the other day. "If one of the little ones has a bad fall, I apply Pond's Extract at once, and tbe cure is to quick that the ekln does not have time even to change color. I find it equally good for burns, boils, piles, sore thioat, and all such diseases, while for hemorrhages it is the best thing in the world. I learned tbat from mother long ago. Grandmother used it too. So yoa see our family has used Pond's Extract for generations. But be sure and see there is a bus" wrapper around the bottle." Tbo f!oTirpcatfrinl Chnrrh at Dfldwrtn-I-D.

As the season advances, tbe pains and achss by which rheumatism makes itself known are experienced after every exposure. It is not claimed that Hood's Saxsaparilla is a specific for rhematism we doubt if there is, or caa be, such a remedy. Bat the thousands benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla, warrant us in urging others who suffer from rheumatism to take it before the first keen twinge. When Dr. Bellows went to Abraham Lincoln to urge the appointment of Dr. Hammond as surgeon General, Mr. Lincoln listened to him for half an hour, and then when Dr. Bellows was done said with a smile: "Well, I appointed Dr. Hammond nine days ago; bat I do like to listen to your oratory." New Light on Rheumatism. "I had been completely disabled from rheumatism. I used Parker's Tonic for kidney disease, when, to my astonishment, the rheumatism completely disappeared." So writes Mrs. Henry Bogert of No. 451 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. Rheumatism arises from the failure of the Mdneys to separate the uric acid from the blood. LYCira KOZOTHIUM. ECrCRCUSlNS.
