Second Session. SENATE. Washixgtos, Jan. 17. By the designation of the president of the Senate. Mr. Allison is presiuing today. A message from the President was read, transmitting, in compliance with the Hawlev resolution of Gen. Sherman to the secretary of war regarding the policy of the Confeder ate executive department. It was laid on the table. The McPherson funding bill was then tak en up. Mr. Cockrell strongly opposed the payment of the interest, except on so much of the principal as consisted of United States inter est-bearing securities. This would bring the amount of interest to $36,000. Messrs. Morrill, Conger,Sherman,Morgan. Saulabury, Harrison and Harris thought the payment of interest in such cases was not a good public policv. Messrs. Hoar, Frye and Bayard favored the provision, of the bill, Mr. Bayard saying that he did not believe the government of the United States proposed to fatten on stolen goods. The bill was then passed. The consideration of the inter-State com merce bill was then resumed. Mr. Hawley opposed Mr. Slater’s amend ment. He said that the corporations had been immense factors in the progress of the human race, but they had extraordinary power. They had eternal life given them by law—poper to acquire property through all eternity. They surpassed in power any private individual; surpassed, indeed, the nobility of any nation in the world. There was much uneasiness in the public mind with regard to the encroachments of railroads,and the time hail come when the federal govern ment should take some position with regard to the regulations of commerce between the States. Admitting all these facts to be true, however, Mr. Hawley thought it would be unwise, and, indeed, useless, to attempt to cover the whole ground at the start. It would he wiser to proceed slowly and tentatively in a matter of so much importance. For his part, he could not for the life of him see why a railroad should charge more for carrying a load of freight 300 miles than for carrying the same load G00 or 1200 miles. Clearly, we had to do something, and Congress, in Mr. Hawley’s opinion had undoubted constitu tional power in the premises, so far as it concerned inter-State commerce. Stiil intel ligent care should be exerted, but the remedy to be applied was such at would be just. Mr. Slatter’s amendment was rejected—11 to 3. An amendment proposed by Mr. Allison was agreed to, increasing the number of com missioners from 5 to 9, and an amendment to the latter provision so as to require that not more than 5 ot them shall belong to one po litical power. Mr. Allison’s amendment also provides that one of the commissioners shall be selected from each of the nine judi cial districts of the United States. An amendment offered by Mr. Pugh was agreed to, limiting the powers of commission ers to the powers specifically given by the bill. The amendments having been completed, the question arose as to the parliamentary status of the measure, which having been ascertained, the House bill was taken from the calendar, aid Mr. McCullum moved to amend it by striking out all after the enact ing clause and inserting the provisions of the Senate bill. On this motion Mr. Vest called for the yeas and nays but without action the Senate ad journed. MOUSE. Mr. Gibson of West Virginia, rising to a personal explanation, said that his attention had been called to a newspaper paragraph, charging him with having indulged in very hnrsh and unjust criticisms upon ths gentle man from Pennsylvania (Kandall.) This paragraph had reference to a conference be tween himself and some friends in Wheeling. At that conference the tariff had been spoken of, and of conrse Mr. Randall's name had been mentioned. So far from making any unkind allusion to that gentleman, he had declared that while he might differ from him on some subjects, Mr. Randall's long record had taught him to respect his capacity and integrity. The committee on labor reported a resolu tion directing the postmaster general to ask the attorney general whether the eight hour law applies to letter carriers adopted. Among the hills introduced and referred was one by Mr. Frye for establishing an American merchant marine, and to promote postal and commercial relations with foreign countries. The Senate amendments to the military academy bill were non-concurred in. The House then went into committee on the diplomatic appropriation bill. Mr. T.ownshend of Illinois, offered an amendment requesting the President to co work the cooperation of the governments of American nations in securing the establishing of a commercial league by and between the same nations, to be known as the customs uniou of America. Mr. Randall of Pennsylvania raised a point of order against the amendment The object of it might be a very proper one. but the Senate has advised the House that it would agree to no legislation on appropriation bills and the adoption of an amendment would only bring on a controversy which ought to be avoided. Mr. Townsnend sain rnni me onject or me proposition was to obtain an extended foreign market for the procucta of the couutry. and the objest could be gained much more effect ually in that way than by reciprocity treaties. The chair sustained the point of order and the amendment wa« notread. The members then indulged in a debate on the present business depression and remedies therefor, which consumed tba greater part of the day. Mr. Cox regrets that Mr. Townthend't amendment had been ruled ont. It was about time that Congress should understand that times were hard and that erfn the best pro tected industries, like that of iron, were going down, aad the best judgment of the best men in the country was that the times would be come worse. What was the remedy? Re eiprocitv—not lopsided reciprocity—but real i reciprocity with the republics of our own hemisphere. Mr. Dorsheimer of New York thought that the most important gift which it was in the j power of the government to give to the peo- j pie. was freer trade with foreign countries. 1 He believed in reciprocal treaties with other countries—such reciprocal treaties and liberal arrangements of trade as will secure to our people the great markets of the world. He favored the proposed treaty with Mexico, and was disposed to favor the Spanish treaty. The treaty with Nicaragua, in his judgment, furnished’ a great piece in the future as well as in high importance. Mr. Hiscock of New York saw that bis two colleagues had announced the old democratic doctrine—that this country should be parely an agricultural country. They had main tained that the limited State* should have free trade and an exchange of commodities with other nations. What had this country to exchange but agricultural produce? The mineral resources of the land were to be sur rendered, and this was to be a country of farmers and nothing else. The country un derstood that to be the policy of the next ad ministration, expecting that this issue was to be prerented to the people. The country heard notes from Pittsburg of the failure of the great iron industry. The news came from New York of the insolvency of banking insr.tutions. He had no hesitation in declar ing that before this Congress adjourned, from other manufacturing and business centres would come announcements of distress and sailure, all precipitated by the agitation that was threatened the country on the part of the next administrat’on. Keterring to the pending treaties, he asked his colleague (Dorsheimer) what the United States would have to sell provided they were were ratified. The United States had noth ing to take to sell in the markets of South America, unless it could compete with Eng land, and to do so it must reduce the price of labor. Did his colleague propose to de grade labor down to that point that it could not compete with foreign labor? Mr. Cox of New York contended that the democratic party was misrepresented by his colleague (Hiscock) when he said the incom ing administration was in favor of making the country purely an agricultural country. Mr. Cex denied that the distress which prevails was attributable to the democratic success. The republican party is responsible for that sort of hot bed growth which gave the country a surplus production, and said it was the very man that did most to cook up our last tariff (Mr. Oliver) that was the first to fall beneath the vicious legislation. Who had authorized his colleague to speak for Grover Cleveland? All the gentleman could find out about the future policy of the dem ooratic party was written in its platform. Mr. lieed of Maine wondered that the gen tleman from New York (Dorsheimer) did not consider what would be the sole result of the action which he advocated. It certainly could not be possible that he was ignorant that today the United States had the most perfect access to all the markets of the world The difficulty was that it could not sell goods in the markets of the world because it could not produce them as cheaply as other nations. This was because the United States for every dollar that competing nations paid for labor, paid #1.60. The United States could only compete by taking the 60 cents front the laboring man. Did the gentleman from New York dare to avow that that was his purpose? In no other way could the markets of the world be open to any greater extent than they now were. Mr. Dorsheimer strongly controverted the statement that manufacturing establishments were closing their doors because of the appre hensions of the effects of a democratic admin istration. It was perfectly clear what the reason of the present disasters was. It was the result of republican administration, which hat) iaken one hundred million dollars a year more than was necessary out of the pockets of the people. Mr. Hiscock asserted that the agitation thrust upon the country by the House was the sole cause of the distress of the past year, and looking forward to a democratic adminis tration there was nothing but financial disas ter in the future. He believed that the only hope of this country for the next four years was found in certain democrats on the other side, who wonld be found still standing by the industries of the nation. The committee then rose and the bill was passed. Mr. Willis of Kentucky reported the river and harbor appropriation bill; ordered print ed and recommitted. Adjourned. ST. JOHN ONCE MORE. He Denies Having Made any Bargain With Either the Republican or Democratic Parties.

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 18. The letter furnished to the press by ex Governor St. John, a brief extract of which was telegraphed last night, concludes as fol lows “It has been charged that I ‘secured, early in the campaign from Senator Plumb, a letter introducing Legate to the national committee as a person authorized to act ami speak for him. [me]’, I |reply that I hare not seen Senator Plumb for nearly a year, and have had no correspondence with him sinoe Mr. Blaine was nominated, and never requested him. or anybody else, to do any suCh thing, and Senator Plumb is at liberty to publish anything he has from me touching this matter. It will be observed that it is stated that I wrote letters to S. W. Gage, State orgauizer for Ohio, A. L. Carey, of Samantha, Kev. Gegan, of Columbus and Professsr W. G. Frost, of Oberlin Now I respectfully ask these gen tlemen if any letter or letters or other com munications were received trom me that tend to throw any light on this question to publish the facts. Again it is charged that “there are several gentlemen who could help prove that I sold out to the democrats," and the editor of the Chicago News is mentioned as one and Senator Gorman of Maryland as another. Now while I have not the honor of a personal acquaintance with either of these gentlemen. I respectfully request them in the interest of common defamers, that if they have any evi dence that criminates me to give it to the public finally. I did not go to Philadelphia with Legate, nor from Philadelphia to New Y'ork with him. But I did, when in Phila delphia, on the night of the 11th of October, in answer to a request maee through the col umns of the New Y'ork Tribune of that date, by what purported to be the New York State Temperance Asaembly that I withdraw from the campaign, write an oped letter, published in New York and Philadelphia papers of the 13th *n reply to said request, in which I said I should “neither withdraw nor assume a neutral position," but would continue to fight as long at I should live and the flag of our country waved its protective folds oner the legalized dramshop. I was never in the headqnarters of either the democratic or re publican party, and to this day don't know where they were located; nor did I during the campaign ever speak, write or telegraph to, or to my knowledge see any member of the national or state committees of either of said parties; nor did I receive a penny, pledge or promise, directly or indirectly, from any political party, committee or other organiza tion, except mv legetimate expenses, amount ing to less than 81*00, paid by the national j committee of the prohibition party; nor did I ever do or propose to do or omit to do any thing for the purpose of decreasing the pro hibition vote or increasing the vote of either of the other political parties nor did I “get a sore throat or pretend to get one,” and I think that even the republican party will no claim that I “feathered" my speeches; and again I challenge my defamers to prove to the contrary. With charity for ail and malice toward none, I now submit tnis statement to the people with firm belief and fall realiza tion that for the troth thereof I am to answer to my God. [Signed) Jobs F. St. Jon. ROASTED ALIVE. The Illinois Eastern Hos pital for the Insane Burned. Seventeen Persons Missing—Thir teen Bodies Recovered Burned Beyond Recognition. Kaxkake, Ills., Jan. IS. The South Infirmary,of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane was burned this morn ing at 4.25 o’clock. The fire originated in the furnace rooms and bad obtained strong head way before discovered. The woodwork of the building being of southern pine it burned very rapidly. The building was occupied by 45 patients, 6 attendants and 1 night-watch man. Seventeen patients in all are missing. Thirteen bodies have already been recovered, burned beyond recognition. All of the patients were infirm and incurable. The bedridden ones were rescued first, and the others, who were able to help themselves, did not realize the danger in time, and they were the ones who perished. The attendnnts lost all their personal ef fects, and many narrowly escaped with their lives, one having to tie the bed clothes to gether and escape by the window to the ground. There were no facilities for putting out the fire, the State having made no appro priation for that purpose The building was a new one, and cost about $lt>.000. It is a total loss. The following are the names of Those Who Perished. Henry Brown, of Rock Island; II. VV. Belden, ot Galesburg; Geo. Bennett, of Mor ris; Joseph Colbert, of Chicago; Orlando Ellis, of Pontiac; J. W. Gallaway, of .Ma coupin; Thos. Hickey, of Springfield; Matthew Hague, Chebause; T. Hackner, Stevenson County; Thus, llerdey, ot Chi cago John Johnson of Vermillion; Michael Jordon of Chicago J. Nathan of Chicago; A liunyard of Winn.bago County; C. Strois of Chicago; J. M. Tyler, of Chicago; F. Weymouth of l’utnam County. Thos Herley was a son of State Senator Herley. The building destroyed was two stories, stone and brick, with no wood about it exect the floors and stairways. It was completed the first of last August. It was used as an infirmary, with 45 insane inmates—2d on the first floor and 22 on the second. Attendants Brown and Kose and the latter's wife were sleeping on the second floor. Attendants Keid and Williams and Fireman Sabargc slept on the first floor. The building was heated by hot air fur- j naces. It was 12 degrees below zero when Watchman Cobb discovered smoke issuing from the floor immediately over the furnace. He at once awoke the attendants. The smoke was drawn through the hoi air flues and along the halls and stair-ways to all parts of the building. The fire spread so rapidly that all efforts to save the building, in the absence of a fire alarm to summon help and for want of facili ties to quench the flames were found to he in vain. jgAttendnnt Keid began dragging and carry ing out the patients. Many patients, some in their night clothes only, Baahtd Bark lata the Birslsf Building from the bitter cold. Keid, at the risk of his own life, struggled on until 21 of the 22 pa tients were secured, when he became ex hausted and was carried away. On the second floor Attendant Kose and his wife heard the alarm, and escaped down the stairwey just before it fell. Attendant Brown, sleeping on the same floor, was awakened by the smoke, and attempted to save a patient in the next room, but failed and, sliding down by the aid of a sheet, jumped to the ground. Supl. K. S. Dewey reached the scene, and with ladders climed to the second story window and was able to res cue some of the patients. By this means al mnst all that did not refuse to co-operate in the efforts being made to save them were re moved from the building. The others were only rescued by being dragged from the flames anil held from re turning. A marvelous escape was that of an inmate who fell with the second floor, strik ing on the burning debris above the furnace and hounding through a window to the ground uninjured. The remains ot the bodies of 12 patients have been taken from the ruins burned to fragments and only to he identified by the location in which found The remains of the bodies, with one ex ception, were represented bv simply a handful of charred ashes. The entire remains of 10 victims were spread on a small bench two feet square. Friends are arriving in search of lost one. The scenes on their arrival and their viewing the charred remains Arc Heartrending. Telegrams are pouring in from all parts of the State from parties asking as to the safety of their friends. The coroner's jury which adjourned until tomorrow morning is investigating as to whether the furnaces were defective. Sept. Dewey, though a man of light build, dragged a 180 pound patient through a win dow and h ire him safely to the ground. The only chance for obtaining water was from a small washstand faucet, not even fire buck ets or barrels being on hand. The building was deaigned for an infirmary for old and feble patients and contained a number of advanced paralytica and others. The exact cauie of the fire ia not yet clear, but it ia cer tain that it originated in the furnace room on the weal side of the building. RIVERS AND If ARBORS.

M., dariag a heavy gaie and high sea, between Tkrogg's Neck and a point of City Island, FIRE IN BOSTON. _ Fire Consumes the Bay State Sugar Re finery and Touches the Stan dard Bye Rood Mills— Heavy Losses, Boston, Jan. 18. About 9 o'clock tonight, tire broke out in the Hay State Sugar Kefiuery, and so rapidly did the flames spread that three alarms were l sounded in quick succession. The building was of brick, four stories in height, with a frontage of about forty feet on Eastern Ave and extending back some ninety feet to Sar gent's wharf. The rear portion of the build ing is pretty throughly gutted from top to bottom, while the Eastern Avenue end, the damage seems pretty well confined to the two upper stories. The first door was used as a receiving room; second floor, as packing de partment third floor as charcoal room, and the upper floor as kiln room The building was formerly used as the old Calcutta Linseed Oil Works, and the floors were thoroughly saturated with oil. Some delav occurred in sounding the first alarm and the flames gained great headway before the arrival of the fire department At 10 o’clock, the flames had spread to the Standard Dye Wood Mills. At present they are nearly half destroyed and there teems but little hope of taring them. On the Eastern Avenue side, and extending down parallel with the Dye mills, it a four story block. 80 or 90 feet in length, occupied on the ground floors by small stores, and in the upper sto ries as lodging house*. The occupants of this block hastily removed their affects, but unless the wind should veer, this block will probably be saved. At the end of Eastern Avenue, is the south ferry to East Boston, and their buildings are in constant danger from tha dense showers of sparks that continually are arising from the burning buildings. The wind, which is fresh, blows the flames directly toward the water, and beyond the buildings already mentioned no others seem to be threatened. The refinery is operated by E. Atkins Co., who, it is understood, own the brick block as well as the Kefiuery building. Their loss will probably be heavy but they are fully insured. The losses cannot be estimated at present. By midnight the fire was under control but was still feeding upon the debris. The mills were not more than half consumed, but the loss will be heavy. The remaining portion of the building contained a large quantity of ground log-wood and chemicals which were considerably damaged by water. After the tire hail apparently been subdued in the Refinery, it rekindled, and swept through the two lower stories, completing the ruin. The building is completely gutted and the loss cannot be estimated with any de gree of correctness. It is known that it will be very large.

Th. causes are Hurried Fating, K>ch F«pd, Unseasonable FmTmL* Anxiety, Ac. The Stomach being unable to take an and digest the food, It of course decays, aid .5S* gases and add matter arising from It produce Heartburn, Insiiaess, a sense of Fullness asd the region of the stomach. This of ooufse poisons the blood, and the oomblnatlon to throw system oat of order. It can be cured by *wli Brown’s Sarsaparilla. This is not a "quack" preparation, nor Is It a patent medicine. It It a scientific Remedy, rr for the Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, which are the fountain heads of nearly all the lilt of mankin^T* compounded from a formula of the late Wm. II. Brown, M. D., of Bangor, Me. Dr. Brown wm sklsm educated physician who bad a reputation tar outside the limits of hit own State. He was a Bowdoln College, 1842, and Harvard Medical .school, 1880, finishing his education for his chosenrj."?!* In Europe, aud ne was known as the talented physician who was sure to be called In to all critic where medical skill was required. He was the family physician of Chief Justloc Peters of Maine as of Hon. C. A. Boutelle, M. C., Bangor; Hon. T. N Egery, Judge Humphrey, preient Bangor, and many others. Hon. 1. P. Bass, Ex-Mayor of Bangor, says: Some two years since I was afflicted with Dyspepsia in Us worst form. I consulted the b physicians in this section, In Boston, and in New York, without any beneficial results. About orn!" ago I began to use Brown’s Sarsaparilla, and from that time I have continued to Improve. I h... back to mv usual weight, having gained since I began to use Brown's Sarsaparilla, over 35 pound* IJP aider Brown’s Sarsaparilla the beat remedy for Indigestion I have ever used. j p g^J* Strong Statement trout a Well-Known Kailroad Man. Everyone knows Wm. A. Cromwell, the General Eastern Passenger Agent of the Lake Shore im Michigan Southern Kailroad. Mr. Cromwell Is a very active man, living most of Ills time on railroad tmim, Naturally he sometimes finds himsell out of oondidion, and says that when in need of any medicine w always taken Brown’s Sarsaparilla. ”1 consider it,’’ says Mr. Cromwell, "the best tiling for India*,.?* and troubles with th blood or kidneys that has ever oome to my notice, and to railroad men, who tns! the very nature of their occupation, are easy subjects to Kidney and Liver troubles, I would lay jS find a powerful friend in Brown’s Sarsaparilla." From a Well-Known Clergyman. Rev. Theo. H. Gerrish is pastor of the Pine St. M. E church In Bangor. Mr. Gerrish U tin tv author of the "Blue and the Gray,” and “Reminiscences of the War.” Mr. Gerrish served as sprtvu, during the war, and has a record gathered on various battle fields which few men made. Following his double work of pastor and author, Mr. Gerrish came to be in ill health, and, so sei lous was bis esse 'tu be gave up the ministry for a time. A member of hie family became afflicted about this time with a serin. Kidney trouble, and this additional burden was thrown upon Mr. Gerrish. Physicians were emplontL many lemedies tried, and everything that fond friends could suggest was done. Little or no benefit wS deriv-d lrom these, and hope had almost given way to despair when Brown's Sarsaparilla was recosnanT ed. It was tried, tba patient recovered, and Is now in good health. Mr. Gerrish is opposed generiS speaking, to the use of his name In connection with a patent medicine, but so much benefit has bees de. rived from Brown's Sarsaparilla that be freely oonaents to its use here. Brown's Sarsaparilla Is sold by all druggists at >1.00; 8 far t-VOO. TH E 6ARDINER COLISEUM. The Largest and Best Arranged Amusement Hall Lb the State.

In making butter, good, sound, wholesome food is indispensable. To make a good article trom poor material is as impossible in dairying as in any manu facturing industry. 2. In making cheese, the full heat in scalding should be reached very gradual ly. To' suddenly heat a cube of curd is to contract the pores so that the whey and gas of the interior are not fully liberated, and, going into the cheese, cause bad ef fects.' 3. Excessive acidity m cream before churning causes a partial separation ot the butter fats, and the acid also devel ops glycerine from one ot the oils com posing these tats. Souring cream does not add to the quality of the butter; it simply creates a stronger flavor, in con trast to the delicate flavor of unsoured cream, which is the true flavor of aroma. 4. Natural vegetable acids do not harm milk, but the artificial acid of fermenting food introduces an element into the con sumption that it is not possible for nature to neutralize, and hence affects the milk. The amount of ferment may be small and do little injury, but if carried beyond a certain point will have a deleterious ef fect, which experiment, time and again, has demonstrated. 5. Butter should always be churned sev eral degrees colder in summer than in winter. The reason is,that the caseinous matter of milk more readily attaches it self to the butter globules in summer than In winter, and that this adhesion can best be prevented by a cooler temperature of the cream when churning is a fact. 6. Sudden changes in the color of but ter. unless caused by sudden changes in food, say from oat and corn meal to bran of poor quality, or rye meal, is caused by churning too warm and loading the butter with casein. Soft and white butter are both due to one cause—too highly charged with the solid matter of buttermilk. 7. Butter is a very difficult article to keep, unless a very low, uniform temper ature can be secured. Where butter is needed for long keeping, the best way is to make in small and somewhat oblong rolls wrap closely in well brine-washed muslin cloths, and immerse them in brine made from boiled water. These should be kept beneath the surface so that the air will not get to them. A small quantity caii thus be had at any time. 8. Crocks of butter to be kept for sev eral months should never be placed upon the cellar bottom This causes two degrees difference of temperature in the crock, which will be at the expense of the quality of the butter near the top. The crocks will keep their contents far better if placed at least a foot from the cellar bottom upon a bench with a thick woolen cloth thrown over it. 11. Guess work about cheese and butter making should never be tolerated. It is impossible to guess with the finger with in eight or ten degrees ot the actual temperature of a churning of cream be sides. it is always some trouble to wash the linger before testing the cream. Four or five degrees, even, make all the differ ence between good and poor butter. 10. Washing butter with brine has two effects. If the fine grained butter is allowed to stand tor some time in the brine, the latter will, by the natural laws of gravity, cause the solid or cheesey matter in buttermilk to assume a lower stratum, and can thus be drawn out from under the butter. The added water has also an affinity for the sugar of milk, and takes it with it when drawn off. The brine also causes a slight contraction of the butter globules, which causes increased firmness.—Ohio Farmer. Do you value the health and comfort of your children?

In religon Bayard Taylor might' have ljeen very properly regarded as a Unita rian, possibly as a Deist, though at the same time he always evinced a great rev erence for the faith of his Quaker ancestry. In his dress he was careless and indiffer ent. having but little respect for anything in the way'of style and conventionality. He always chose a stout, plain suit of clothes which had the elements of thor ough durability in them—garments which could be worn a long time; stout, heavy shoes or boots, a large gray overcoat and a broad-brimmed slouch hat. These com pleted his wearing outfit. He always wrote a strikingly beautiful hand, and al ways expressed himself to the effect that illegible, slovenly writing was an abomin ation. He always wrote quietly and ap parently slowly, yet he produced a great er amount of ••copy” in the course of an hour’s time than one would suppose in view of the great ease and entire absence ot haste which characterized his efforts. He was a prodigious intellectual toiler, with probably few equals in this country or abroad. As an example of what he could accomplish with his brains and pen in a given space of time, it is related of him that during his last service upon the staff of the New York Tribune, one Thurs day evening two large octavo volumes containing poems by Victor Hugo, in the French,were handed to him tor review. It was necessary that the review should ap pear in the Tribune the following Saturday morning, consequently the copy would have to be in the printer’s hands by early Friday night. Taylor was suffering from ill health at the time, be sides he had an engagement to give two lectures in the interval, one in New York and the other in Brooklyn. He completed his review in season for the printer Friday evening, and the article, nearly a page in length, appeared in the Tribune the next morning. As a piece of criticism. Edmund C. Stedman states: ‘"It was equal to any of his literary criticisms, and surpassed any analysis of Hugo’s genius that I have ever seen. One remark able feature of the review wa over a col umn of translation into English poetry from the original, including several lyrics and idyls, so beautifully done that they seemed like original gems in the English.” In his career as a journalist no individual had a warmer regard for the profession, or was more deeply devoted to the work belonging thereto than he. He expended the same degree of labor on its success which he gave to any and every purely literary achievement he ever performed, never taking his pen in hand tor the mere purpose of saying something, unless it were really worth saying and could be well said. Another most admirable trait in his character was the entire lack of jealousy toward any brother toiler with the pen. No feeling of hatred entered into his nature, while, on the contrary, the success of a friend gave him as much pleasure as if it had been his own. Among his fellows he was generous to a fault, ever ready to do a kind act for any one who needed help, though the service so rendered cost him more than he could well bestow. No wife or child ever had more tender devotion shown them than this noble man was wont to give his com panion in life and his only child, while the love he bore his parents even to the hour of his death was something almost asm to worsnip. Prof. Moses Coit Tyler once remarked to me that he had met in his lifetime two persons each of whom was the embodi ment of real loveliness, ,and one was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the other Bayard Taylor. During the last years of his life he began to lose his old love for travel, and would set out on a long jour ney with extreme reluctance. Though he hail visited all parts of the world, there was no country to him like America, and New York was a city which, for a resi dence, he preferred to any European cap ital. He thought more highly of his poetry than of his prose, and at heart de sired that on the former, rather than on the latter.his fame should rest. In a let ter to Mr. John J. Platt of Ohio, in 187.5. he says he feels his ability to write verse to be really the best faculty of his intel lectual life, and that his best poetry is yet to be written. Bayard Taylor had a wonderful memo ry, and nothing he ever read was forgot ten—He was an excellent linguist, and especially as a student of German litera ture he was without doubt the finest scholar our country has ever produced. In the domain of literature he achieved a rare reputation, but had he lived to the allotted period of man his fame would have shone with the fairest lustre.—Geo. Netcell Lovejoy, in the Republic. Buchanan's Hopeless love Reminiscences ot democratic adminis trations of years gone bv are constantly I coming to light. “Right over there,” said an old society beau, recently, point ing to a brown stone front near the exec utive mansion, “lives a woman who might have been mistress of the White House under Democratic rule if she had seen fit to accept the hand of James; Buchanan. She comes from a verv wealthy Pennsylvania family, and was courted by Mr. Buchanan. Her people wanted her to marry him, but she didn’t want to. She loved a poor clergyman, rector of a chureh in her town but the family did not want her to marry him, and so they arranged that he should be quietly transferred to another post, some hundreds or thousands of miles away. This broke up the match, and the maiden too for she went into retirement at once, and has married nobody. Neither the banishment of her clergyman nor the elevation ot Mr. Buchanan to the Presi dency could make her change her mind, and she remained and remains single. She is an old. withered and sad woman, living there alone with her widowed sister in that great mansion, with actually more money than they know how to use. They are the richest people in Washington, possibly excepting Mr. Corcoran, and they do nothing with their wealth except to keep up their magnificent establish ment and pet a lot ot cats and dogs. The lady referred to is the one of whom the story is told that Mr. Corcoran one day sent her a polite note somewhat as fol lows “My Dear Madame—I have been for some time thinking of enlarging the Arlington hotel. If you will state the value of your brown stone mansion ad joining, l will send you my check for the amount.” To which she "replied “My Dear Mr. Corcoran—I have tor some time been thinking of enlarging my flower garden If you will state the value of the Arlington hotel adjoining, I will send you my check for the amount.”—Balti more American. A man living in a sky-parlor, cured him self of sciatica, with St Jacobs Oil. He called the disease the skyatticker. Good health depends largely on the condition of the liver. This organ is easily affected because of its sluggish circulation. When it becomes disordered, stagnant blood accumulates in its venous system, causing it to discharge inert or bad bile. Many forms of disease result from its imperfect aetiou, which deranges all the digestive and assimilative organs, and, through these, impairs almost every function of mind and body. There is no Better way to insure the proper action of all the apparatus necessary to health, than to aid the stomach and liver by the occasional use of Ayer’s Pills. E. A. Robinson, 151 School st., Lowell, Mass., says: “For a number of years I was stationed in the tropics; and, while there, suffered much from torpidity of the liver and indigestion. Headaches and nausea disabled me for days at a time, and it was only by the use of Ayer’s Pills that I obtained relief. 1 know them to be the Best Cathartic Pills. They stimulate the appe tite, assist digestion, and leave the bowels in a natural condition.” John H. Watson, proprietor University Hotel, Chapel Hill, N. C., writes: “For twenty years I was a sufferer with sick headache. I began taking Ayer’s Pills, and quickly found relief. I have not had an attack of head ache for years, and attribute my freedom from it to the use of Ayer’s Pills.” Jared Agncw, LaCrosse, Wis., writes: “I was cured of a grievous attack of Erysipelas by using Appetite renders the partaking of needful bodily sustenance a matter of pleasure. When ever the appetite fails, you may be sure the stomach and liver have become de ranged, and need to be corrected by the use of Ayer’s Pills. C. Danlv, Belton, Texas, writes: “I have taki n Ayer’s l’ills for various affections arising from de rangements of the liver and digestive orgaus, and find them to be a powerful corrective.” If your Health is impaired a good cathartic medicine may aid you. Miss M. Boyle, Wilkesbarre, Pa., writes: “I use no other medicine than Ayer’s Pills. They are all that any one needs.” Dr. W. J. Talbot. Sacramento, Cal., writes: “The curative virtues of Ayer’s Pills commend them to all judi cious practitioners.” Dr. Charles Alberts, Horicon, Wis., writes: Last year I pro cured from you the formula of Ayer’s Pills, and have since prescribed them with decided benefit.” No poisonous drugs are Found in the composition of Ayer’s Pills. Dr. A. A. Hayes, State Assayer, Boston, Mass., certifies: “I have made a careful analysis of Ayer’s Pills, with the formula of their preparation. They contain the active principles of well known drugs, isolated from inert matter, which plan Is, chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness. It insures activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. Ayer’s Pills contain no metallic or mineral sub stance, but the virtues of vegetable reme dies in skilful combination.” Ayer’s Ayer’s Pills, Pills for twenty days.” These Pills have been most successfully used in treatment of obstinate cases of Dropsy. taken in connection with Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla, have effected thousands of wonderful cures.
