" ENIIVMIOS," \l ITU Al l ITS I Al I TS, TAKKS 'l'llE RK.ADINC I'l lil.H' OF KNCI.ANK IIV STORM, rom the Henhlent Correti'otidr'Ul of the World. LONDON, NOV. 2~>. —Tito first quos which salutes one now is," What tin you think of 'Endyntion?'" No doubt most of your raiders have al ready niado up their minds on the subject, for the hook was issued on the same morning in New York and Lon don. Here, as you may suppose, the whole world is raiding it. In what the distinguished author fondly calls the "refined saloons of the mighty," the " patrician citizens " are eager to see witieh of their number has been touch ed off by the late Prime Minister. (o into a club and the red volumes with silver letters ou the back are in every body's hands. At Mudie's then is a crush of carriages waiting for a chance to draw up to the door. If to engross public attention is the secret of happiness, Lord l>ea eons field must lie the happiest man in England. Even Ireland is forgotten and Mr. Gladstone is nowhere. I sent you by cable last night a key to many of the characters in the novel and explained briefly that the author has taken ra ther free liberties with the likenesses so that no one should be able to say this or that is an exact portrait. In some cases he has brought men and places into existence before their time. Dramatists and novelists have always claimed this license, and no writer has used it with greater audacity than the author of "Vivian (trey." But the originals from which he has taken his sketches cannot be mistaken. These pictures from life are really all that give the book its interest. Story there is very little, but no one looks for auything of that kind. People want to walk through the portrait gallery and find their friends or acquaintance. If the Tory party remain out of pow er another year or two the adroit artist will gratify them still further, for it is a fact that he intends to follow up this novel with another, in which his strange, eventful history will be brought down to our own day. For one person who will read histo ry iu its crude state a thousand will read it disguised in the form of fic tion. No one knows this better than Lord Bcaconsfield. His main object in this, as in other works front his pen, is to put forward his opinious on party politics ami the men who have taken part in them. He would prob ably fail iu a methodical and serious history if he attempted it, and un questionably it would e&ll for ntore severe labor and greater accuracy than he could bring himself to supply. He loves to generalize, but pin him down to facts and it is all over with him. In a novel, any little slips can he readily excused, and even anachro nisms only secnt to form part of the main design. Opinions can be express ed for which it would scarcely be fair or reasonable to hold the author re sponsible. In the present instance Lord Jieaconsfield has even chosen to use the Radical -lob Thornberry (Mr. (.'obdenj as his mouth-piece. By de vices of this kind he can declare his private views on men and affairs, and avoid incurring any responsibility for them. Titus he makes Job affirm that the British agricultural classes are in the condition of surfs and that the whole landed system must lie abol ished. To lie sure, Mr. Ferrars con tradicts these opinions in a mild way, hut the earnestness and force are all given to Job. " These are strong opinions," says Mr. Ferrars. " Yes, but they will make their way," replies Job, and undoubtedly so keen an ob server as Lord Bcaconsfield must feel that they will. The "commercial principle " must be applied to land — "no useless timber and no game." The chief of the Tory party could not come forward in his own person and avow these sentiments. But he can put them into the mouth of a lay fig ure and thus draw attention to the fact that he perceives clearly enough which way the new revolution in Eng land is tending. In like manner lie is free to maintain behind another of his characters that the House of Com mons is becoming an assembly of demagogues. He gave the best evi dence of the sincerity of this convic tion when he retired from it and took shelter iu the House of Isirds. To him it is all the same whatever may happen. "Power, and power alone, should he your absorbing object." That is the religion which he professes and no one can say that lie has not • been fuithful to it. Men are pup|M*ts to he made useful in the attainment of your own ends. The institutions of your country are only to be respected in so fur as they assist you to rise to power. "All the accidents and inci dents of life should be considered with reference to that main result." Never was the Disraelian code more * faithfully described. Of course it re quires a little audacity for a man tints to reveal the hidden springs of Itis own life, but audacity is the secret of suc cess. Until Benjamin Disraeli had made a name in the world he attract ed attention by his velvet coats and dazzling waistcoats, bv the number of gold chains round his neck and the rings upon his fingers. Some people called him a fop ami others a lunatic, hut everybody soon found that the fop's head had something more remarkable about it than lite long black curls shining with macassar oil. Dandyism served its term and was discarded, though perhaps even now it has a certain charm, for one day last session 1 saw the author of " Endyntion " in tin* House of Lords with a bright scarlet tic round his neck, a black vel vet waistcoat, and a pair of pantaloons of the most bizarre color and pattern. But it is not absolutely necessary to play the part of a dandy any more, rower has been won —and lust. A great party has been nearly ruined, hut its controlling spirit is satisfied, lor tin* public are tumbling over each other in their eagerness to get hold of his book. None of the changes or disasters of life are potent enough to suppress Disraeli. No doubt you will have noticed and enjoyed the childish delight with which tin* Ex-Premier depicts the " gilded saloons" of his friends the aristocracy. In thein, after all, is to he found the only kind of social di version for which lie has ever eared. The middle classes arc a money-grab bing, tedious, vulgar set. True hap piness is to be found only in the socie ty of "'Queens of Fashion" like Zen ohia (who is a sort of combination o! Lady Blcssington and Lady Holland), and "distinguished personages," in blue ribbons and brilliant decorations. , Such was always the opinion of Mr. Disraeli, and now that lie is an Earl I lie cannot well be expected to change J it. In one part of " Endyntion " lie refers —of course indirectly—to the " immense sorrows" of his youth. W hat were they? He was sent to a solicitor's office to he trained in the study of the law. He was not a com j moii plaee clerk, as many have .-up ! posed ; he was not in poverty. The | ordinary accounts of the hard-hips of his early life he has himself repudiat ed. "My father left me a sufficient patrimony," he once declared. W hat were his immense sorrows? Simple a i compulsory association with the" mid dle class." Until a lucky accident I gave him an entree to Lady Blessing ton's house and opened Rothschild's door to him lie was excluded front the : "saloons of the mighty." In this hook Endymion's sister is made to predict that all his good fortune will come to him through women. So it actually happened. Lady Bles-ington took ; him tip, and Mrs. Wyndlium-I/ewis married him and gave him all In r money. Determination can move mountains, but it cannot always ena ble a man to pick up a fortune with his wife. Even in delineating the fortunes of his new hero, Lord Bca consfield is obliged to jump the hard est fence on the road by making some anonymous friend come forward villi a present of 120,000. Youthful stu dents of the Disraelian system of "get ting on " in the world will perhaps complain that donors of (120,000 are comparatively scarce in the world. I The noble Lord's answer would be, | " I have found them ; go thou and do j likewise. Will n thing and you can get it. Resolve to he Prime Minister and ! nothing can prevent you reaching that I position. You will want money to j start with —look out for a woman who lias it. You will never find a man j to give you 1'20,000; therefore turn ! your eyes to the other sex. I did so, j and see where 1 am and what I have : been." That is what the author of ; " Endyntion'' would tell any voting I man in whom he took a friendly in terest — Lord Rowton, for instance. People may say that this is not a very j lofiv view of life. But what is that against it ? It enables men to grasp | power. To do Mr. Disraeli justiee, he never pnached any other doctrine. ! I hat is why he has been called a more demoralizing writer than (J. \\\ M. Reynolds. He saps the foundations I of nil belief in the nobler qualities of ; the human rnce. Last night, just as I i was going home to my lodgings, I ran against a man who was himself figur ed in one of the Disraeli novels, and ; who has no love for the painter. The i inevitable question of the moment j was exchanged. " \ es," said my friend, "they've read it at the club. It is precisely what you might have i expected—a selection from his note j book, with the usual glorification of i himself, and the old sermons about the duty of treading on your father and 1 mother if they are in the way—any | thing to enable you to push through j the crowd. Don't fail to notice the i ship-shop writing, the bungling sen- I fences, the penny-romance writer's ! touches of description. He does not I say a man walked down St. Jantes' j street, hut that he 'descended that gentle eminence.' Go and look of j his account of the grooms on a car riage, 'sitting with folded arms of ■ haughty indifference.' I declare it makes nte sick." Thus far my friend; i but, between ourselves, I think he is I still smarting from a sense of injury ' at having had his own portrait hung up years ngo in the Disraeli gallorv. \Ve of free souls can read and be amused. L. J. J. THE young man who shirks Itis du ties as often us possible never succeeds in life. You may set it down that sooner or later he will he a drone in the great hive of human industry. If you begin life a shirk, you may set it down as a fixed fnct that the habit will follow yon through life, and in stead of a success, you will be an ut ter failure. HO NAPA KTK-.HLANC. Till!

PAKIS, November 11). —l'rince Ilo liuiil Boiiuparte was man-it <1 to-day to I Mille. Marie Blanc, daughter of the ! founder of the gainhling-hoiisu at Mo naco. The marriage took place at the Church of St. Rocli, on the steps of which Napoleon I. planted the cannon with which lie swept the Paris streets of the mob. It. was the most splendid ceremony of the kind we have had for a long time. The marriage came about in a curious way. One of the papers lately published a series of ar ticles on the "men who had disappear ed" —the extinct volcanoes of notoriety, so to speak. Among tliciji it named Pierre I >ona parte, the fat her of Kola lid and the slayer of Victor Noir, and it gave a very piteous account of the style in which lie was living and of the efibrts of his low-horn wife to keep the family on a looting of respectabil ity. There was even some allusion to the dressmaking business in London which she used to conduct. This was read by Mine. Blanc, of Monaco, the widow of the tenfold millionaire. She sought out Mine. Bonaparte and offer ed her help. From this meeting sprang the union of the two families. Mine. Bonaparte's son was a sub-lieutenant in the Line, ami in the course of his visits to his mother and sister he saw Marie Blanc, fell in love with her and has now won her hand, with a respect able number of her family millions as her dowry. She is a charming girl, well educated and ambitious. In this last respect she i* only like the rest of the family, which is most anxious to do something to make people forget the vulgarity, not to *ny the degrada tion of it- origin. Mine. Blanc has already married one (laughter to Prince Iladziwil, one of the most illus- I trioti* names in Austria, and the chief i members of the Austrian embassy | were among the distinguished people at the wedding. Prince llad/.iwil has | pushed forward the present union by all the means in hi* power, and has given grand dinners in honor of the signing of the contract. For the rest the Rlano* have been lavish of their gold. The bride's trousseau i* some thing unexampled even in this city of costly wonder*. She has a pearl neck lace which i* said to have no peer among the known treasures of this I sort, except iu the famous one worn by the Empress Eugenie. Among the bridal gifts was a carriage and horses bought in England for AO,OOO francs, and all the rest is on this scale. The Wedding was half a political demon stration owing to the presence of the 1 Bonapartists, hut in this respect it was somewhat spoiled l>v the abstention of the head of the family, Prince Jerome. The Prince has never had anv groat affection for Prince Pierre, and he took no notice of the invitation sent to him, and the Empress Eugenic was equally oblivious of the invitation sent to her. They all feel a hitter rancor towards Pierre because his brutal es capade in the shooting of Victor Noir was the first gn at disgrace which hap pened to tie- family, and indeed a blow ! from which it never recovered. Still, Ronapartism in it* rank and file can not afford to he squeamish, and all the younger members of the party, with | Paul de ("assagnae at their head, were lat the church. Twenty thousand peo ple were in the streets to see the party i arrive at the church, and the old building itself was resplendent in hangings of blue and silver and purple and gold. The solos in the service were rendered by singers from the opera. It was just such a wedding as | Paris loves, and it will go far to sanc tify in a social sense the wealth ac quired by the founder of the Blanc family, and, as nothing succeeds like success, to atone perhaps for the un lucky shot whose detonation brought ! that empire to the ground. It was a truly edifying spectacle from first to la*t. Queen Isabel In sat in one part of the church, and near her was Mine. Ratazzi on her knees. AI'KAII) OF IfKINO CIIFATFD. The uneducated mind does not see ! through those forms by which business jis transacted. There is a well-known I story of two honest Dutch neighbors. One of them, Han*, borrowed twenty dollars from the other, Jacob. "Must I give you a writing, for dis, ! Jacob?" said honest Hans, as he pock ' eted the money, "Yah, dat is what they do, I dinks." Hans scrawled something which meant that he hud borrowed twenty dollars from Jacob, nnd would repay him as soon as lie could. He handed i it to .Jacob, "No, I don't keep tliis," nnswered i .Jacob, scratching bis bead, as if in doubt. "You must keep it so dat you'll know you owe me do money." A similar perplexity as ton written promise to pay, once sent an liouest but ignorant fiopier out of a court room, in hot haste, lest he should he cheated. In the early days of Indi ana, the lawyer used to follow the I courts. "Riding the circuit," it was | called, nnd it demanded horses that could struggle through mud-roads and swim over deep rapid streams. During the court session, a lawyer bargained for a pony for twenty-five dollars, on n credit of six months. The next day the owner brought the pony, but required security for the payment of tho price. The Inw^er drew a note at the top of" a sheet of foolscap and signed it. His brother lawyers, some twenty in number, sign ed it, and then the court—throe judges —wrote down their names. The lawyer presented the thorough ly signed note to the man and was surprised to hear him say: "Do you think I am a fool, to let you get the court and all the lawyers on your side? I see you mean to cheat me out of my ponv.' I p jumped the alarmed man, ran out of court, mounted the pony ami galloped for home a* last as the horse could currv him. SOMF I IIIUST.MAS TOYS. INDICATION* IN TUB Til AI)E TII AT TIIE ITU'- I I.ATION OF TIIE COIJNTRV IS IN SAIK HANDS. I-mm the New York World. Of making many toys there is no end, and as every uetv Christinas sea son approaches the shop windows are glorified by displays of novelties. The child, "pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw," need not nowadays con tent himself with such simple play things when for a dollar lie can get a banged-hair l'ari-ian wax-doll with movable blue eyes. Business, the toy dealers report, is twice as brisk as usual this year. Dolls, of course, are most in demand of all the standard toys. They are nearly all imported from Germany and Franee. < >ne of the novelties among them is a large doll with wooden liiuhs so arranged with hall and socket-joints as to he movable in all natural directions. Among the dressed dull* the advan tage is very much with the New York product over the imported. Many "I these dolls are dressed in goods and styles of the latest invention and'iatest mode, for doll-dress making is an im portant industry in New Yoik, es pecially at thi- -eason of the year. Among what are known as "position dolls," or "Helen's Babies," are earth enware dolls in many new and amus ing attitudes, by wliieh the pranks of a whole nurseryful of children are represented. Among the nieehanieal toys the newest are working model* of the elevated railroads, l oon the ele vated tracks, constructed and painted after the style of the Sixth Avenue line, car* are made to run by the turn ing of a little crank at one end of the road. The track is not so long as to make fogs a matter <>f any concern, and the dangers of collision are -till further reduced by the running of hut a single train. For Christmas trees are many ornamented lamp* and tin sel trinkets, and what i* called "snow powder" has been lately introduced, to sprinkle over the branches of ever green trees. The savings hanks and embossed blocks anil picture-books abound in infinite variety. The hitter, especially, come in most attractive forms, many of the New York publi cations being closely imitated after Mi-s Kate Green way's pictures and others of English origin. Toy musi cal instruments are now a feature of the trade, from the tin penny Christ mas horns to Australian harmonica* with hell aeeornpatiimeut and two or three octave pianos. There is an unusual demand for cheap dolls. Dolls which cost not more than a dollar apiece are selling now instead of the ?4or ?•" wax dolls which have held the field heretofore. This increased demand for dolls indi cated, as the World reporter was in formed, "an increasing population." "But nothing becomes old in the line of toys," said one large dealer. "Our Noah's arks, which we must ad mit to a grown person are not what you might rail new, are fully as at tractive to the infant of to-day as they undoubtedly were to Noah's own great grandchildren. The imported goods are about the same from year to year. The American toy manufacturers turn out some new devices every year in metal goods and mechanical toys, but nothing of that sort holds favor so well as the standard dolls and arks and building blocks which entertained our grandfathers and will delight our grandchildren." Sarah Bernhardt and her I'rerions Coffin. Ilirhurd WlilMtiji'fl Pari* Ulln to Near York World. Sarah Bernhardt objects strongly to the imputation of singularity, ami yet, if it were not rude to contradict a lady, one would have to admit that she sometimes does eccentric things. Her latest proceeding is to have her self photographed iu her Coffin ! The coffin has long been a part of the fur niture of her home and a very beauti ful thing it is. It is enough to make one long for death. It was originally a present from a friend, who has spared no pains in making it worthy of the lady's acceptance, and it has since been largely embellished by the recipient. It was a fancy of hers, which she shares, or might have shared with the late Admiral Lord Nelson, and with others of the great, to have her last lodging constantly in view, and, as it were, under repairs at the hands of the prospective tenant. Whenever she has had a bit of lace to spare or a new idea in quilting or embroidery she has put it into the coffin. For a long time she used it as her lied, hut that practice was finally abandoned, at the earnest solicitation of the doctors, as tendiug to hasten the approach of the moment when she would have to fnke'it for good and all. Musing of late on that moment ami its incidents, it occurred to her that it would lie a good thing to leave explicit direction l ! for the manner of her funeral, and so she forthwith laid herself out with exquisite taste, and called in a photographer to "fix" lu-r in pictorial black and white lor Ihe purpose of exemplifying her testarncii tary instruction*. The man did hi* office, ami there she lie- —a* Mrs. (jump might put it, "the sweetest corpse." Only four copies were made —for strictly private keeping —but if the public could sec one of them, which it never will, it would insist on there being a thousand. The coffin is half smothered in flowersand branches of palm, most artistically arranged, and it is placed on an incline, so as to permit you to have a good view of the occupant. She lies on a pillow of white satin ; she i* robed in cashmere, and her bare arm* are crossed meekly over her breast —Ophelia going to her grave. The eyes are closed, and till the features beautifully composed. Everything is done to carry out the idea that death is but a long, dream less sleep. Ask mo why the greatest actress in France, and the most ad mired, a woman who has won her way to a throne of genius, should have such fancies, and I must frankly ad mit I cannot tell you. There is only this to he said, I think ; her very delight in her present of glory makes her morbidly sensitive in speculations as to the future. Death is ever in her thoughts, hut not so much the death of her body as the death of fame — that terrible fbrgetfulncss of a great and once popular name of which she has seen so many examples in her theatrical career. ■ The Personages of "Kmlymiou." Frm lll** N. V. World. So many requests have been receiv ed bv the World for the republication of the key to the characters in Eord Beiicon.-field's new novel of "Endv mion,'' that we now print it more I'uliv and accurately than before. It uin*t he remembered, however, that with the exception of two or three person ages none of the characters introduced from real life into this curious book by Lord lieaeousfield can be said to be painted bv bim with the intent of mak ing portraits. Mo.-t of hi- jK-r.-onages are made up of odds and ends taken from the leading traits of two or more celebrated individuals. Mr. Jennings truly cabled to the World that these odds and end- are so "tossed and tum bled together" that it will ulwuy- be easy for I/>rd lieaeousfield, should he think fit so to do, to deny that he meant to make a deliberate portrait of any particular person in any part of the hook, excepting alway*, as we have already observed, in two or t'iree in stances siieii as Ste. Barbe and ' Sidney Wilton, for example. Bearing tin* in mind, the reader of "Kndvinion" will doubtless find his enjoyment of the book enhanced bv the discreet use of the following "key" : Endymion Kerrars.—Benjamin Dis raeli, 1/ird Beneon-ficld. Myre Fcrrars ( his sister . —Eugenie, Empress of the French. Prince Elore-tan.—Traits of Louis Napoleon framed in an outline of the career of Alfonzo of Spain. Queen Agrippine.—ln the main Queen Hortense, mother of I/mi* Na |M>lcon, the name covering an allusion to (Jueen Isabel 11. Zcnobia.—A composite of Lady Jersey and Lady Holland. Baron Kergius.—Baron Brunnow, who effected the famous quadruple al liance of I*4o. Nigel Penruddock.—Cardinal Man ning, with trait* of Cardinal Wise man. Job Thornherrv.— Richard Cohden. Sidney Wilton.—Sindev Herbert, Ixird Herbert of I/oa. I/ird lioehampton.—l/ird Palmers ton. Lady lioehampton.—Lady Palmers ton. L>rd Mentford.—The Earl of Dud lev, Ixird Eglinton and I/ird Mel bourne in one. Mr. Ncucbatel. —Baron Lionel Rothschild. Adriana. —Lady Rose berry, with suggestions of Lady Rurdett-Coutts and Miss Alice Rothschild. Mr. Bertie Treniaine. —Monekton Mills, Lord Houghton. Mr. Ste. Barbe.—W. M. Thackeray. Mr. Gushy.—Charles Dickens. The minister stopped st a house and sought to improve the time bv giving an eight-year old boy an in structive lesson in morality. "Mv boy," said the minister, "I have lived forty-five years, and have never used tobacco in any form, nor told n lie, nor disobeyed my pnreuts, nor uttered an oath, nor played a truant, nor—" "Gimminy crickets!" interrupted the lad ; "yet ain't had anv fun at all, have ye ?" A BKKITIC who was trying to eon fuse a Christian colored man by the apparently contradictory passages of the Bible, asked how it could be that we were in the Spirit and the Spirit in us, received the reply : "Oh, dar's no nuzzle 'bout dat. It's like dat poker. I puts it in de fire, till it gets red hot. Now, de poker's in do fire, an* de fire's in de poker." A profound theologian could not have made a better reply, A 1 IIRAI IIKK in Iventuokv, rocentlv becoming exasperated, paused in his discourse to say: •• Ladies, if you will keep a lookout on that door, and if anything worse than a man enters I will warn you in time to escape."

'PRO-idem flirt Garfield could not forget nif, n i coulil J forget liim.ii- for tliai mattci said ('ongresMimn Springer in a tic di tative manner, thf oilier ar field's 1 iii*. one known to hut few of his friends. Had it not lie n f->r ti. active exertion of M<->rs. Springer and Hisenek, of New n (:w --lieid would now la; in hi- grave iiistea I ; id' occupying the |Hisitioli of future ' tenant of the \\ liite IhiUr. In D7.. I when the I'otter investigation commit tee became roasted out of their sum iner quarters HI the Capitol, hy tin wicked sun of Washington, an u< n. 1 < Jarfield's arrival, and the day be wa to he examined, he, upon invitation "f ('ougre—meu Springer and 11 i-cock, mem Iters of the committee, accompa nied them to the beach for a plunge in the breaker*. The time selected for the sea-hath was early in the morn ing, so that the water felt quite chill to the touch. Gen. Garfield is a man of full habits and inclined to apoplexy. As be was not familiar with sea-bath ing, he omitted the necessary formula of first thoroughly wetting and cooling his head before entering the water. He walked into the breakers gradual ly, standing up in the waves as they broke over bis body. The sudden cooling of the lower part of his bodv drove the Mood, as from a force-pump, I to his brain. Suddenly lie put his hand to his In ad and fell backward as if shot. As he fell he lay backward upon the shelving sands, with the waves throwing a cloud of foam and spray over hi- stalwart figure. lioth Springer and Hi-cock .-aw him drop at the same time. In company with the stenographer of the committee, who was bathing with them, they ran hastily to (Jen. (Jarfield, and dragged him hack II|MII the sand outside of the water. To all appearances (Jen. (Jarfield was dead. Hi- heart had apparently ceased to beat. Kor -eve ' ral moment- his excited companions searched in vain for a sign of life. It wa- a very serious position. The ho tel. of Atlantic city are fully a ouar t< rof a mile from the bench. What ever was to he done for the General's relief it was evident should be done quickly. In the office of the main bathing establishment a small bed was found. There (Jen. (Jarfield wa- car ried. stripped and vigorously ruhired, flic bathing attendant fortunately had some hot water. The feet of the ap parently dead man were thrust into this, while the three men who had carried him in worked like slaves rub bing the body. For a long time thev worked with the energy of despair, without much hope, for it wa- fully I twenty minutes before the faiutc-t semblance of life began to appear. Then a faint warmth about the heart lagan to show returning life; and as the glow spread throughout the body Iliscock and the stenographer retired to dress and then return to relieve Mr. Springer. He was alone with (Jon. (Jaifield when he opened his eyes to consciousness. The General looked wildlv about the bare room of tbe bathing station as he said, in a bewildered way, "What has happen ed ?" "You had a sudden attack of ver tigo when bathing, said Mr. Springer. Gen. (Jarfield at once said, with great promptness: "This must be kept from my family. It would frighten them to death." Mr. Springer assurrvd him that the matter should l>e kept sceret. So se vere was the attack that (Jen. Garlield was not able to get up front the bed unassisted. lie was carried to the hotel, where he wa- obliged to remain in bed for several days, before he was able to go home. He never did np penr ns a witness before the Potter committee. The gentlemen who wit nessed his attack sicurcd the suppres sion of all mention of it at the time in the newspapers. A week or ten days later there was a brief paragraph printed, merely saying that Gen. (Jar field Inn! la-en taken suddenly ill at Atlantic City, and for that reason had been prevented from appearing as a witness before the committee. Noth ing more than this mere meution has ever been made, however. THE CE led rated Doctor Dumoulin, being surrounded in his last moments hy many of his fellow physicians who deplored his loss, said to them, "Gen tlemen, I leave behind me three great physicians." Every one thinking him sell to be one of the three pressed him to name them ; upon whioh he replied, 'Cleanliness, exercise, and moderation' in eating." As editor in Georgia says: "Gold is found in thirtv-six counties in this ntate, silver in three, copper in thir teen, iron in forty-three. diamonds in twenty six, and whiskey in ail of them; and the last gets away with all the * rest.
