Mr. Webster IN the SICK Chamber The
Washington papers OF Saturday mention the
death. at Browns Hotel. Of young man
from Massachusetts, Nathaniel Ray Thorn.
as. aged ~ who was taken sick 4 or 5
weeks ago in that city. while on his way to
the West. This young gentleman belonged
to family residing near Mr. Webster 5
farm in Marsh6eld. and that gentleman's alb
sence from the Senate, for some time past,
is attributed TO the devotion which he felt
it his duty to pay 10 his sick and dying young
friend, at so great distance from his family.
The Madsonian says
We may be permitted TO add that the
scenes ofthis dea,h-bed were OF very Of.
lecting character. and we feel that in allu.
ding TO them we shall be doing scarcely jus.
tice to that great goodness Of heart which is
only equalled BY the universally acknowled.
ged greatness ofthe intellect OF Mr.. Web.
ster. Our experience renders doubly poie-
nant those sympathetic emotions which we
can neither resist feeling nor expressing, in
view Of the sufrrings ofihis youth, and the
affecting tenderness and devotion OF his dis
tinguished friend.
Days and nights, almost without inter-
ruption, we are informed by friend who
was frequently present. Mr.. Webster hung
over his uneasy pillow. and with all the az
fectionate kindness Of a father. soothed his
pangs. and Quoted tho mental excitement
with which he was afflicted. He did not
stand by TO see others attend. but himself en-
gagged in the Office of principal nurse, and
II was evident that while the disturbed mind
ofthe sufferer was unable TO recognise 9TH
er friends, the kind voice and minstering
hand Of Mr.. Webster were always grateful
y recognised by the dying youth; and often
an approaching paroxysm of insanity and
CONFUSION was aleviated or prevented by
his embracing him, and kissing his burning
cheek

hereby certify that my son, Barnard DEMO,
II years oi age, was afflicted with epileptic
hts, in the latter part Of the year 1888, and
was for some time under the care Of a skiful
Physician, and also occasionally received nd

the Inst year, during which period of illness |
was unable TO do any work, and employed FIVE
physicians, at different times, who were con-
sIdered highly skilful in their profession, be-
sides receiving the occasional advice of some
others. Receiving no permanent benefit,
commenced taking some of the various nos
trums so highly recommended at the present
day. These likewise failing to relieve me,
was induced TO apply to DR.. ID. II. Sweeney,
Botanic Physician, although despairing Of re-
ceiving any benefit, and placed myself under
hls care about year ago. To my great sur
state of health and still remain 50.

OF IRISHMEN.

What must every true-heared son of the "Em-
crald lslc,' who has sought refuge in this country
from the tyrany and oppression of British rulers at
home, think Of patty, the members of which give
utcruncc to such sentiments as the following. Will
it scarcely be believed that in this land of Liberty
which has always been can ASYLUM for the oppres-
ed of all nations, single individual can be found,
so base, so back-hcared, and so unworthy the
name of an American citizen, who would endorse
language so utterly at variance with the spirit of
our free institutions 1t is to true that such men
are to be iounn; ye, thank God, they do not belong
to the Democratic party; they are friends of the
White Siarery and .Abaiition candidate for the
Presidency, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, and
have had no interest in common with the large por-
ton of our fellow cizens-the Turner the mechan-
ic the laborer are cuphatcally the bone and sinew
of the nation. We invite the attention of every
Irishman TO the subject, and then ask him to
say whether he or any of his friends would so far
forget their duty to themselves and their a
dopied country, as TO lend the most feeble aid TO
elevate to power the candidate of party which
has already, in hundred instances, proclaimed e.
ternal hostiityto every foreigner who sets his fee,
upon our shores. We ask every Irlshman and ev-
cry descendant of Irishmen, to reflect seriously
upon these things.

SIR-Since issuing the orders of the 9TH, 18th,
and Goth August, indicating determination of the
Department to enforce the legal restriction upon the
conveyance of newspapers by contractors and their
agents, over post routes, out of the mail, informal
ton has been received that the papers usually sent
in that way would not, if the restriction were en-
forced, be carried in the mail so as to contribute to
the revenues of the Department: And perceiving
also that those whose interests most affected by
the enforcement of this prohibition profess to en-
terrain doubts in regard 10 the construction given to
the law, and that very general public sentiment
prevails that this restriction has, by change in the
modes and facilities of conveying newspapers, be-
come incypedicnt if not unjust,-the Postmaster
General, on n review of the question, has come to
the conclusion to suspend for the present adopting
the measures indicated by the said orders for the
enforcement of the restriction with the view of az
fording an opportunity, after the public mind has
been called to the question, for Congress to con-
slider the subject, and to adopt such further legsa

condition and interests of the country may demand
