SENATOR BELLS SPEECH.

Mr.. BELL from Tennessee made power
full speech against the ten Regiment bill IN
the Senate. A correspondent thus notices his
conclusion:
''Alluding to the remarkable fate which
seemed to hang over Mexico, he introduced
Cortez upon the stage, with his fanatical band
of plunderers. Having briefly, but powerfully
sketched his perilous march and battles, his
wonderful victories, his final triumph. over the
Aztec race; by few bold. rapid touches, he
traced the steady descent of Spanish power,
till the point of time, when the Plunderer was
lundered-when the Conquerer, who had over
whelmed the Indian, was Frustrated by strong
er than he-when the American Eagle tapped
its wings over the Palace where Cortez had put
his foot on the neck of Montezuma. He was
not supersticious, but he read lesson iii this
history; and as if BY sudden thought, he car
ried his audience back to the sacking of Car
thage-when amid the horrors of that event,
while Scipio was surveying the ruin in progress,
the wife of Asdrubel assembled with her chill
dren to the summit fthe temple. One by one
she stabbed them to the heart, threw them from
the height, and then plunged headlong into the
abyss beneath ScipiO wept-not for the wife
and children of Asdrubal, not for the ruin oil
Carthage,-but he read in the horrible tragedy
the doom of the mothers and children of Rome.
81 see," said the Speaker in a low thrilling
tone, sin the fate of the descendants of Cortez
the retributon that awaits my own country
men" and then, with most most startling en-
phasis. he suddenly exclaimed in a voice OF
thu nder, 'sBack! back! in the name of Cod
Make the best treaty you can-linger not day
Flee, flee from that country, as you would
from city doomed to devouring fire!"
ssWithout one word more, he sat down, but
the echoes of that terrible warning rung in my
ears for hours afterwards"
This is well said, and are the same senti
ments so elegantly expressed by Thomas Cor
WIN, more than year ago, for which he ha.
been denounced traitor By men who them
selves only lack the opportunity Of selling thei
country, to do il.

BREvET RANK-The character of Brevet-
rank is but little known out of the army, and
we are frequently enquired of as to It's bearing,
and for an explanation of its value. While
reading few days ago, an extended notice of
Bevet Major General Worth, the following met
our eye, which answeres the question so often
asked: Sin England, says the writer, ''the
highest rank known in the line of the army, is
the rank of Colonel: all the superior officers
holding their appointments by brevet. The COM
mission of Colonel is their coveted chiefly for
its emoluments. A Major General, Briga-
der General, even Lieutenant General, is not
paid as such, but lives on the pay of his regi-
ment, if he holds colonelcy. Here it is diff
ferent; for here the the Brigadier General and
the Major General receive pay equal to his
rank. There are but two full Major Generals
in the army, Scott and Taylor. Gaines is only
brevet Major General, like Worth Scott and
Taylor are the only ones that receive the
pay of Major General. General Worth
receives only the pay and rations of a
colonel, that being his rank in the line. Any
full Brigadier in the line would out rank and
of things 1t will be seen that brevet rank i:
merely honorary, comforting neither pay mol
power. 1t might happen that Worth would
/ be forced to serve under some very inferior Off
Ger, in consequence ofthis unsubstantial char
acter of brevet rank.

LOUISA CATHARINE ADAMS,

SAM HoUsToN's OPINION OF TIE TREATY
The Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia North American, speaking Houston's
view of the treaty with Mexico, says:
He treats it as buresque, and says, four
fellows got together without any manner OF
authority, and having nothing better to do,
agreed to make up what they pleased to call a
treaty. -Four copies were made; one was sent
to the British chare daffairs at Washington
another TO the French minister third to
Wall street, and there being no special demand
for the last, they transmitted it to Mr.. Polk by
way of diversion.

FREAK OF NATURE.-The New York Tri-
bunc notices lamb which was seen in Wash

was quite remarkable 1t had three ears, one
ofwhich was exactly onthe top of the head
four fore and four hind legs-one body above
the loins and two distinct bodies below that
two tails, two fair, well-formed breasts on
each side, and its color was white, with one
mouth, nose. &c. To attain the size it had, it
must have lived for some time.

Mr.. CLAY-In speaking of this distinguish
ed statesman on Monday, we said-''He has d
hold on the hearts of the people which no man
ever possessed" A correspondent takes us to
task for this, says il is untrue, and cites as ey-
idence that he has always been beaten when q
candidate for the peoples favors. This is true
but if the sentence had read as it was written
He has hold on the hearts of the WHIGs
which no other man ever possessed"-it would
have been strictly true We do not doubt.
nor do any of our associates who advocate the
nomination of Gen. Taylor, that niHGtccla-
t,centicth8 of the entire Wing party of the
country, prefer Mr.. Clay to any body else. Nor
do we or they believe, that any other man ev-
er before had such hold upon the hearts OF
the people. He is all but idolized by a large
class of the Wings, and nearly every man OF
them loves and venerates him; and in our opi1,-
ion justly too But. Notwithstanding this, be-
lieving him unavailable, even those who love
him best, are in favor of Gen. Taylor's nomi-
nation. This course they think due to their
principles and to the welfare of the country;
because defeat with Mr.. Clay could do him no
good, and would be no additional evidence OF
their devotion to him. while it would involve
us In all the consequences ofanother four years
of Locofoco misrule.
Here we dismiss this subject We have
said quite enough to show why we shall advo-
cate Gen. TayIor's nomination, and oppose
him under whose banner we have so long
fought No man can estimate higher than we
do, what the country owes to Mr.. Clay, Or the
extent Off injury brought upon it by those who
defeated his nomination in 1910, but under ex.
| listing circumstances, while we shall most
cheerfully unite in doing homage to the patriot
and the statesman for his life of devotion tC
our common country, we shall endeavor to Sc
cure the nomination of Gen. TAYLOR for tht
Presidency, in order to secure the triumph O
those conservative principles of which MIR
Clay is the embodiment.-New Yorle Cour

ABvERTIslEG.-The editor of the Pottsville
Press well remarks that the business man who
wishes to do business in the year 1913, must
make his occupation and location known to
the public, by advertising in the newspapers
A few years ago things were different. When
the country was new, and places of business
comparatively few, the proprietors might sit
at home and wait for such customers as should
chance to find them; but now when compet-
ton is great, and every means used, and no ex-
ertion spared, to make friends and acquaintan-
ces, and thus secure business, every one who
desires to sustain himself, must invite custo-
ners through the papers. At this day, every
citizen pretending to intelligence and respecta-
bility, subscribes for some good newspaper,
and every business man who understands how
to do business, adUerti8e8.

the ether was employed to allay the toothache;
but subsequently, the sufferer was supposed to
die, from what cause does not appear. The ap-
parent death, however, was only trance, or
protracted swoon; for, on opening the coffin a

LETTER FROM Mrs. ADAMs.-The following
letter from the widow of the Hon. john @,
ADAMS, was read in the House of Representa-
lives on Wednesday last
WAsHINGToN, 29th Feb, 1913.
To the Hon. Robt. C. Winthrop,
Speaker of the House of Reps. of the U. S.
SIR-The resolutions in honor of my dear,
deceased husband, passed by the illustrious as
sembly over which you preside, and of which
he, at the moment of his death, was a member,
have been duly communicated to me.
Penetrated hgrief at this distressing event
of my life, mourning the loss of one who had
been at once my example and my support thro'
the trials of half century, permit me, never
theless S, TO express through you my deepest
gratitude for the signal manner in which the
public regard has been manifested by your hon
orable body, and the consolation derived to me
and mine from the reflection that the unwea-
ried efforts of an old public servant have net
even in this world proved without their re-
ward, in the generous appreciation of them by
his country.
With great respect, | remain, sir,
