QNE MILLIOJS OF LIVES SAVED
it Is one of Iho remarkable fuels of this re*,
markable ui*o not merely that so many persons
are the victims of dyspepsia or Indigestion, bat
its willing victims. -Now, wo won Id not bo »n
dorstood to say that any one regiuds dyspepsia
with favor, or feels disposed to rank It among
Iho luxuries or life. Kar'lrom it. Those who
have experienced Us torments would sGout such
an Idea. All dread it, and would gladly dispense
with Its unpleasant familiarities. AlurkTaploy
who was jolly under all the trying circumstan
ces In which ho was placed,never had an attack
of dyspepsia, or his Jollity would hate speedily
forsaken him. Men ami women sometimes

■"■"Orrairnio-mmrnhTtous'dlscasos- to-whlcluthe,
human system JsJlablo,there Is perhaps no,one
so generally prevalent as dyspepsia. There are
diseases more, acute a;id painful, and which
-more frequently prove fatal, : but none, the ef
fects of which are so depressing to thcmlnd ami
so posltlveii' distressing to the body. Inhere fs

A CONFIRMED DYSPEPriC,
Bat It is notourlutcutlofi to cUseantonlJ'o hor

Is simply uu impossibility, but It Is 'possibly to
point out iv remedy. We Imvosnlcl (Iml dyspep
sia Is perhaps the most universal of human dis
eases. ibis is emphatically the easy in the
United Stales. Whether tills general preva
lence is duo to the character oi the food, the
method of Ha preparation, or the hasty manner
in which it is usually s\\ allowed, is not our pro
vince to explain. The great fact with which wo
are culled to deal Is this ;
DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS
almost universally.
Nearly every other person you meet is a vic
tim, an apparently willing one, for were this not
tho case, why so many i u/lerers, when a certain,
speedy and safe remedy Is within the easy
reach of all who desire to avail themselves of it?
But sh°. majority will not. Blinded by preju
dice; Oiftlatcrrcd by some Oliver unexplained in--
llucncb;- they refuse to accept the relief profer
ed them. They turn a deaf ear to the testimony
of the thousands whoso sullerings have been al
lcvlate(l, and with strange InfultnUimi, appear
to cling with-d> spcrulo determination to their
ruthless tormentor. But says a dyspeptic;
What Is this remedy? to'which wo reply: This
great alleviator of human suffering is almost, as
widely known as the English language., It has
allayed the agonies of thousands, and Is to-day
carrying comfort and encouragement to thou
sands of others.' This acknowledged panacea hr
none other than

Would you know move ol tho merits ol ibis
wonderful medicine than can bo learned from
tho experience of others? Try it*your.self, ami
when It has failed to fulfil the assurance of its
efficacy given by the proprietor, then abandon
faith la It. •
LET IT BE REMEMBERED,
first of all, that Hootland’s Gorman Bitters Is
not a rum beverage. •
They are not alcoholic iu any sense of the
term. They are composed wholly of the pure
Juice or vital principle of roots, This is not a
more assertion. The extracts .from which they
are compounded aro prepared by one of tho
ablest German chemists. Unlike any oilier
Bitters in tho market, they arewholly free from
spirituous Ingredients. Tho objections which
hold with so much force against preparations of
this class, naniHy—that a desire lor intoxicating
drinks Is stimulated by their use, are hot valla
in the Cose of the Gorman Bitters. So far from
encouraging or inculating a taste or desire for
inebriating beverages, it may be confidently as
serted that their tendency Is in a diametrically
opposite direction. Their ellbrts can be •

promptly and vigorously ppon tho Liver, they

with the most Indispensable elements of sound

to the stomach— st hnuhulng Us functions, and
enabling It to perform ito duties us nature de
signed it should do. They Impart vigor and

Now, there are certain classes of persons to

but combines,’ln modified form; all the virtues

But Dr. iloolland's benefactions to tho human
race arc not confined to Ills*celebrated

Tho cows are coming, Jessie, dear,-make haste

There are twenty milky beauties to be housed
and fed to-night.
That first one with tho snow-white horns. Is Just
as old as May;
She and my pet first saw tho light tho same soft

A tender creature- was she. so Mamie,.and cold,

To cast her oiT, for May bird’s sake. John laughed
and naked mo whether
I thought it best, upon tho whole, to rear two
calves together,
But she was spared and so was May, It some
times seems to me.
In Starbrlght’s soft and gentle eyes,May's plead

I love tho creature—you may smile—perhaps my
fancies mock;
She’s tbo fairest of tho herd, as May's the sweet

There's May, her arms round Stnrbrlght's node;
the girl is nine to-day;
A frolicsome and genial thing, at study or at
play;
The darling in our falling years, the spring in
our autumn sol,'
A fair white Jewel blazing In pur faded coronet,.
But see, John lets the bars down; In clover deep
they stand ,
With glossy flanks, and .backs as straight as
yonder table-land;
The fragrance of their breath pours In like am
bergris and myrrh; ’
They’re Just the neatest cows to ’mllk—John
says they never stir.
They know his tone—’tls seldom loud; they know
his touch—''Us kind.
‘•John has a way,” the neighbors sa3% to make
dumb creatures mind;
Perhaps—l only know that I, through all these'
blessed years,
Have never seen the movement when his voice
has brought mo tears.
About two years after the Texan revo
lution, a difficulty occurred between the
new government and a portion of the
people, which threatened the most se
rious consequences—even the blnod-shAd'
and horrors of a civil war. Briefly, the
cause was thus: Tire constitution, bad
fixed the city of Austin as the permanent
capital,, where the public archives were
to he kept, with the reservation, howev
er, of a power in the President to order
their temporary removal in case of dan
ger from the inroad of a foreign enemy,
or fears of a sudden insurrection.
Conceiving that the excepted emer
gency had arrived, as the, Caraanohes
frequently committed outrages within
sight of the oapitol itself. Houston, who
then resided at Washington, on the
Brazos, dispaiched an order command
ing ids subordinate functionaries to send
tile State Records to ■ the latter place
which lie declared to he, pro temporal
the.seat of government.
It is impossible to describe the stormy
excitement which the promulgation of
this fiat raised in Austin. ?The keepers
of hotels, boarding houses, groceries and
c“f to‘froll?.y ”Yfil l tliy r id.e.t3‘r>iCk 1
deathblow to their prosper Ity In busi
ness, and accordingly they determined at
once to take the necessary steps to avert
tlie danger, by opposing the execution of
Houston’s mandate. They called a meet
ing of the citizens and farmers of the
circumjacent country, who were all more
or less interea r ed iu the question ; and
after many firey speeches against the as
serted tyranny of the administration, it
was unanimously resolved-to prevent the
removal of the archives by open and
armed resistance. To that end they or
ganized a company of Tour hundred men,
one party of whom, relieving the other
at regular periods of duty, should keep
constand guard around the State House
until the period passed by. The com
mander of this force was one Colonel
Morton, who had achieved considerable
renown in the war for independence, dud
who had still more recently displayed
desparate bravery iu two desperate duelsj
iu both of which he had cut his antago
nist nearly to pieces witli the bowie
Knife. Indeed, from the notoriety of his
character,for revenge, or courage, it was
thought that President Houston would'
renounce his purpose touching the ar
chives, so soon us he should learn , who
was the leader of the opposition.
Morion, on hlspart, whose vanity ful
ly equalled Ills personal prowess encour
aged and justified the prevailing opinion
by his boastful threats. He swore that
if the President did succeed in removing
the records by the march of an overpow
ering force, be would then himself hunt
him down like a wolf, and sbooot him
with little ceremony, or stab him in bis
bed, or waylay him in his walks for
recreation. He even wrote the hero of
San Jacinto’to that effect. The latter
replied iu a note of laconic brevity.;
“If the people of Austin do not send
the archives, I shall certainly come and
take them ; and if Colonel Morton can
kill me, he is welcome to my ear-cap.”'
On the reception of this answer, the
guard was doubled around the State
House. Chosen sentinels were stationed
along the road leading to the capital, the
military paraded the streets from morn
ing till night, and select caucuses held
permanent session, in the city hall. In
abort, everything betokened a coming
tempest.
One (lay, when matters were in this
precarious condition, tbo caucus at tlie
city hall was surprised by Ibe sudden ap
pearance of a stranger, whose mode of
entering was as extraordinary as bis
looks and dress. He did not knock at
the closed door—he did not seek admis
sion at all; but climbing unseen a small
bushytopped live'oak, which grew be
side the wall, leaped without sound or
warning through a lofty window. He
was clothed altogether in buckskin, car
ried a Jong and very heavy rifle in his
baud, wore at the bottom of bis left sus
pender a large bowie-knife, and bad in
his leather belt a couple of pistols half
the length of hla' gun. He was tall,
straight ns an arrow, active as a panther
in ids motions, with darkened complex
ion and luxuriant jetty hair, with a se
vere, iron-like countenance, that seemed
never to have known a smile, and eyes
ot intense vivid black, wild and rolling,
as the point of of a dagger.
HiSotrange advent inspired a thrill of
involuntary fear, and many present un
consciously grasped the handies of their
side-arms.

Administrator,
‘•Who are you that thus presumes to
intrude among gentlemen, without invi
tation ?” demanded Colonel Morton, fe
rociously essaying to cow down the
stranger with his eye.
The latter returned his stare with
compound interest, and . laid his lomr.
bony finger on his lip, as a sign—but of
what, the spectatois could • not imagine.
‘Who are you? Speak I or I will cut
an answer out of your heart, 1 shouted
Morton, almost distracted with rage by
the cool, sneering gaze of the other, who
now removed his finger from bis lip and
laid it on the hilt of his monstrous
knife.

The flroy Colonel then drew hla dag
ger, and was in the act of advancing up
on the stranger, when several caught
him and held him back, remonstrating.
‘Let him alone, Morton, for God’s
sake. Do you not perceive that he is

At this moment Judge Webb, a mau
of shrewd intellect and courteous man

Tho other responded by delivering a
letter inscribed on tho back. ‘To the
citizens of Austin.’ They broke the seal
and read it aloud. It Was from Houston,
rind showed the usual terse brevity of bis
style:—
1 Fellow Citizens. 4 —Though In error,

turned, and was about to leave the ball,
when Colonel Morton interposed, and
sternly beckoned him back to the table.
Tho stranger obeyed, and Morton wrote :
‘You were brave enough to insult me
by your threatening look ten minutes
ago ; are you brave enough now to give
me. satisfaction ?’
The stranger penned his reply : * I am
at your service.’
Morton wrote again ‘ Who will bo
your second ?’
The stranger rejoined : * I am too gen
erous to seek an advantage ; and too
brave to fear any on the part of other* ;
and therefore I never need tho aid of a
second?’
Morton penned : ‘Name your terms.*
The stranger traced, without a mo
ment’s hesitation : ‘Time, sunset this
evening ; place, the left bank of the Col
orado, opposite Austin ; weapons, rifles,
and distance, a hundred yards. Do not
fail to be in time!’
He then took three steps across the
floor, arid disappeared through the win
dow as he had entered.
‘ What!’ exclaimed Judge Webb, is it
possible Colonel Morton that you intend
to fight that man ? He is mute, if not a
positive maniac r Such a meeting I fear,
will sadly tarnish the lustre of your
laurels. ■ *
‘ You are mistaken,’ replied Morton
with a smile; ‘That mute is a hero,
whose fame stands in the record of a
dozen of battles, and half as many bloody
duels. Besides he is a favorite emissary
and bosom friend of Houston. If I have
the good fortune to kill him, I think it
will, tempt the President to retract his
vow against venturing any more on the
field of honor.
‘You know the man then. Who is ho?
Who is he?’ asked twenty voices togeth
er.
‘Deaf Smith,’ answered Morton,
coolly.
* Why, no ; that cannot be. Deaf
Smith was slain at San Jacinto, 1 re
marked Judge Webb.
‘There again, your honor is mistaken, 1
said Morton. ‘The story of Smith’s
death was a mere fiction, got up by
Houston, to save the life of his favorite
from sworn vengence of certain Texans,
on whose conduct he had acted as a spy.
I fathomed the artifice twelve . months
since.
*lf what you say be true, you are a
madman yourself!’ exclaimed Webb.
‘Deaf Smith was never known to miss
his mark. He has often brought down
ravens in their most rapid flight, rud
killed Coraanchea and Mexicans at a I
distance of two hundred and fifty yards!’ I
‘ Say no more,’ answered Col. Morton,
intones of deep determination; ‘the
thing is already settled. I have already
agreed to meet him*. Tberg can be no
disgrace in falling before such a shot,
and if X succeed, my triumph Will confer
the greater glory!’
Such was the genera! habit of thought
and feeling prevalent throughout Texas
Towards evening a vast crowd assem
bled at the place-appointed to witness
the hostile meeting, and so great was the
popular recklessness us to affairs of the
sort, that numerous and considerable
sums were wagered on the result. At
length the red orb of the summer sun
touched the curved rim of the 1 western
horizon, covering it all with crimson ami'
gold, and filling the air with a flood of
burning glory; and then the two mortal
antagonists, armed with long, ponderous
rifles, took their station, back to back,
and at a preconcerted signal—the waving
of a white handkerchief—walked slo.wly.
and steadily of! In opposite directions,
counting their steps until each had meas
ured fifty. They both completed the ;
given number' about the same instant, j
and then they wheeled, each to aim and
fire when he chose. As the distance was
great, both paused for some seconds—
long enough for the beholders to flash
their eyes from oueio the other and mark
the striking contrast betwixt them. The
face ofXlulonel. Morton was calm ami
smiling, but the smile it bore had a most
murderous-meaning, On the contrary,
the countenance of Deaf Smith was stern
arid passionless as ever. ’A side view of
liis features might have been mistaken
for a profile done iu cast Iron. This one, ■
too, was dressed in the richest cloth, and
the other iu smoke-tinted leather. But
that made no difference, in Texas then !
for those ofheroic courage wereallconsid
ered peers,’the class ofiuferiors embraced
none but cowards.
Presently tho two rifles exploded with
simultaneous roars. Coi. Morton gave a
prodigious bound upwards, and dropped
to the .earth a corpse. Deaf Smith stood
erect, and immediately began to reload
bis rifle; and then having finished his
task,-he hastened away into the adjacent
forest.
Three days afterwards General Hous
ton, accompanied by DeafSmitb and ten
more men, appeared in Austin, and with
out further opposition removed the State
papers.
The history of the.hero of the foregoing
anecdote was one Qf the most extraor
dinary ever known in the West. Ho
made his advent in Texas at an early
period, and continued to reside there un
til liis death, which'happened some few
years ngo ; hut although he had many
warm personal friends, no one could ever
ascertain either the laud of his birth, or
a single gleam of his previous biography.
When he was questioned on the subject,
he laid his Auger on his lips; and if
pressed more urgently his brow writhed
and his dark eyesseemed to shoot sparks
of livid fire. He could, write with aston
ishing correctness and facility, consider
ing his situation ; and although denied
the exquisite pleasure and priceless ad
vantage of the sense of hearing, nature
had given him ample compensation, by
an eye quick and far seeing as an eagle’s
and a smell keen and Incredible as
thatof a raven. He could discover ob
jects moving miles away in the far-off
prairie, when others could perceive
nothing but earth and sky; and the
rangers used to declare that he could
catch the scent of a Mexican or Indian
at as great a distance as a buzzard could
distinguish the odor of a dead carcass.
It was these qualities which fitted him
so well for a spy, in which capacity he
rendered invaluable service to Houston’s
army during the late war of Independ
ence. He always went alone, and gener
ally obtained tbo information desired.
His habits in private life were equally
singular. He could never be persuaded
to sleep under the roof of a house, or even
to close a tent cloth. Wrapped in his
blanket, he loved to Ho under the blue
canopy of pure ether, and count the
stars, or gaze with a.yearning look at the
melancholy moon. When not employed
as a spy or guide, he subsisted by hunt
ing, being often absent on solitary ex
curwions for weeks or oven months
together in Ibe wilderness. He was a
genuine son of nature, a grown-up
child of the woods and parade, which be
wo» shipped with u sort of Pagan adora
tion. Kxeluded by hla infirmities from
cordial fellowship with his kind, he made
the iuuuiuiate things of earth bis friends,
and entered by the hearts own adoption
into brotherhood with the luminaries of
heavHjj. Wherever there was land op
water, barren mountains or tangled
brukers of wild waving cane, there was
Deaf Smith’s home, and there he was
happy ; but in the streets of great cities,
in all the great thoroughfares of men,
wherever there was flattery or fawning,
base cunning or craven fear, the>e was
Deaf Smith an exile.
Strange soul ! he hath departed on tbo
long Journey, away among those high
bright stars which were his night lamps;
and he has either solved or ceased to
ponder the deep mystery of the word,
‘life.’ Ho is dead ; therefore let his er
rors rest in oblivion, and his virtues be
remembered with hope.
HOW TWO IMMORTALS MET.
In Prague there was to he another of
those which the capital of
Bohemia was noted during the lastoen
" tnryrand from'every directiort'journeyed
thither artists and laymen, either to par
ticipate in the exercise or to listen. *
Already, on the doy before the fete % the
inns— large and small—of thp city proper
were overfilled, and the landlords, most
desirous as they were to profit by the
occasion, could do no other than turn
away the latest arrivals.
Many were, therefore, compelled to'
seek lodgings in the taverns of the sub
urbs, which were usually patronized by
people of the lower orders.
A young man—a “pianist,” said bis
passport—from Vienna, had, like many
others, sought lodgings in all the hotels
of the city without success, and finally
decided to*go to an inn In one of the.sub
urbs t «wbere he was told he would most
probably find very comfortable quarters
and very good fore.
The youth was received by a landlord
of a very surly mien, who, after measur
ing him from head to foot wlfli
den glance, replied, that he could not
accommodate him—‘be was full.*
But there was a pretty young serving
girl within hearing, who did not sepm
to bo at all afraid of the cross-gained old
landlord, and ventured to dlffet from
hfm. .
‘.Yes, we can accommodate the young
gentleman, too,’ said she. ‘There will be’
no one in the wine room this evening fe
everybody will bo in the city. It's very
easy to make up a bed for. the gentleman*
there. 7
‘Do so, 7 for all I care, 7 muttered the o|d;
landlord, and turned away. , ;
The young pianist decided to remain.,
ns the girl assured him that she would
see he was made comfortable, and that
the landlord was not half as much of a
bear ns be seemed.
Tho girl now hastened'to prepare the
evenin'/ meal, and the young musician
in the meantime repaired to the large
room that was destined to be his bedroom
for the night. -As the usual evening
guests were, not expected, the room had
not been lighted ; but the moon shone
through the vine-bordered windows so
as to enable the youth to see his way, al
though Indistinctly. In one corner he
discovered a sofa, on which he, threw
himselft in order to rest his.weary limbs
while waitingsupper. He had been there
but n few moments, when the door was;
opened and n man entered, who walked
to the farther and darker end of the room
with o certainty of step that showed he
was not.n stranger to the apartment.
A moment afterward the youth heard
the tones of a piano—at first only a few
accords, and then a melody, that might
have been likened to a choir of angels.
The youth partly rose from tho sofa, and
listened as one who would catch the
.faintest sound. How radiant was every
feature of his face with estatic delight I
This improvisation—this heavenly ira
provistation—it seemed to transport him
to a higher sphere! There was but one
—only one—who could produce so much
harmony, and to see and hear him was
object of the youth's journey,

and softer, until they finally died away.
. The finale was divinely beautiful, and
held theydufhful enthusiast spell bound,
until the maestro himself roused him
from his reverie. The latter, when he
had finished playing, rose, went toward
the sofa, and threw himself on it, ap
parently fatigued. As the light of the
moon fell on his face, the youth saw he
bad'before him an elderly man; of a pe-
cullarly. noble ami benevolent mein.
Seeing that he had not as yet, been ob
served,an idea suddenly occurred to him,
and be seated himself noiselessly at the
piano.
Again the instrument was made to
utter ifs swee.test tones, and the man on
the sofa listened In profound admiration.
He saw no one, but he heard, and what
he heard was sufficient to rivet his entire
attention. How pure the: tones came
from this master's hand I That It was a
master’s hand, the listener on the sofa
quickly discovered.
The joys of d youthful heart.seemed to
fiud utterance in the.first accords of tho
young musician. Then, gradually the
tones became deeper ; the passions and
trials of a large, struggling nature spoke
in. the full and powerful accords,, until
they became the cry of hitter despair.
What music it was ! The older musi-
cian clasped his hands across his breast,
and listened with his whole soul.
He knew of but one composer who was
capable of producing such rauaic. ami it
was mainly in the hope.of meeting him
that he had come to the fete. He was
confident that the virtuoso before him
must be he, and he only.
Finally, he arose, and without noise
approached the piano, until he stood be
hind the performer, who was so absorbed
that he. neither saw nor beard him.
At last, be too, ceased playing. He
struck the last accord, and sank back

was frequently employed by the latter to

that tho peccadillos of a worthlesa anj

eyes, protested that ho could.Ho more
drown ‘that ere cat' than ko Could
‘drownd hlsself;’ that were hd*to do so,
- his conscience,acting on a naturally ten
der heart, would trouble him so much at

could sleep a wink thereafter. Not wishr

compromised the matter by giving him
a dollar and telling ’him to take the cat
and dispose of it in any way he pleased,
so thutsheshould nevorseeltagaiu. Put*
, ting tho dollar iu his pocket and the bas
ket on his arm, Jim started down town.
He had not got out of sight of the house
when he mot Morrow walking leisurely
toward his homo, and the following col
. loquy ensued :
Helio, Jim, what have you got there?',
‘One ob de celebrated Kooky.. Mountain
cats, sah,’ replied Jim. •
*A Rocky Mountain cat? WU& jim

‘Weil,' said Morrow—recollecting the*
•general cussedness of tho family cat—
‘Jim, wo want a good cat up home, and
I guess I’ll take this fellow; but don’t’
you think four dollars is mighty steep for
a cat?'
‘All de res sold for five dollars,.sab,
answered Jim. ’ «• ‘ .
This decided Morrow, bo he paid Jim
the price asked, nud told him to carry the
‘Rocky Mountain cat’ up to Mrs. Lowry.
Jim, however, bad very important busi
ness elsewhere, aud* begced Morrow to
take the basket himself, which the latter
good naturedly consented todo. Arriving
at home he took his prize into the sitting
room, carefully closed the doors, slightly
lifted the basket and covering, and smil
ing benevolently at Mrs. L.’a apparent
astonishment, remorked: ‘My dear, I’ve
brought you a Rocky Mountain cat—the

nibbing himself against his master’s legs.

What followed we know not, but a few

never find that d—d nigger, when he

retiring beauty likes to be admired for

These reflections passed rapidly through
the. mind of a well-known magistrate
riding up town recently. Byhla sldesat
a lady, who from a single glimpse of her
countenance he imagined ho .knew. At
last he ventured to remark that .the day
was pleasant.
‘ Yes,’, murmured the female.
‘ Why do you wear a veil ?’ inquired
the dispenser of justice.
( Least I attract attention/

Playing Policy in China..— Very
few Americans have probably any con-,
ceptiou of the dimensions attained by
fraudulent Chinese lotteries; and but still
fewer know anything about the nature
of the lottery. Their play is us follows:
There is a list of 30 animals, including
birds, beasts', iishes, reptiles and insects,
which appear to be ln use without much
variation at all the lotteries of this des
cription. Pictorial cards of these animals
may be obtained by those who desire to
be possessed of such a guide to their ope*,
rations. The party who wishes to invest
in the lottery stakes his money on any
one of these animals he may please, the
proprietors of the lottery having In’ the
meantime placed a paper bearing the
name or picture of oneof them—which is
of course a secret—ln a box, which is
then locked up and suspended in a con
spicuous place on the premises. At a
certain hour the box is opened and the
name of the animal declared, nud those
who have been lucky enough to stake
money on it receive thirty fold, the other
stakes going to the house, the proportion
of the profit reserved by the owner being
about sixteen per cent. In most cases the
box is opened in an inner room, instead
of in the presence of the player, when
often the owner will produce the animal
upon which the smallest amount has
been staked ; while, even if the box is
opened in the presence of the players,
the Chinese are very expert in tue man
ufacture and handling of boxes with false
bottoms. After.locking up the paper, the
owner of the.lottery prctomi.s to give the
public a hint as to hts selection, In a sen
tence which, like those of the oracles of
old, is always enigmatical, and which Is
not unseldom grossly indelicate.
AN Extinct Family.— lt is a singular
fact that there are no known.descendants
of Christopher Columbus- He had two
sons', one of whom, Don Diego, rose to
the distinction of an Admiral, and the
other. Fernando, was a great traveler.—
He not only thrice visited America, but
subsequently traversed the whole of Eu
rope and every accessible portion of Asia
and, Africa. He appears to have been a
profound scholar and a thoroughly good
man. In his will he stipulated that his
library, containing twenty thousand vol
umes, which he gave to the cathedral of
Seville, shauid be free to the people, and
it is free to this day. From books in this
collection, the late Washington trying
obtained a considerable portion of the
Information on which his “Dlfeof Co
lumbus” was founded. The following
quaint epitaph, almost obi iterated by the
hand of time,appears on the tablet which
marks the site of his tomb: 11 What doth
It profit to have sprinkled the wholb
world with my sweat; to have three times
crossed to the New World discovered by
my father; to have embellished the fair
shores of the tranquil Gaudalqulvor, and
preferred my simple tastes rather than
riches, or that I have assembled around
the divinities from the sources of Catalia,
and offer to thee the riches gathered by
Ptolemy, if passing in silence over this
stone thou should’stfail to address a sin

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS RELATIONS. j j'
In oiir judgment this drove of relatives • /

in public places, is an evil spectacle. The - • '
general sentiment is that it is at least In:? }
shameful taste. Republican orators and/ ■ 1
editors, as a rule, make excuses for the/
President about this busines,but they l/
it with hesitancy and shame facedness.—V-K-
They usually claim that it is a mere ! :
.weakness of a man who has done so much
for ins country that he is entitled to s
few frailties. The example of the Chief ; ;J
