A Reminiscence.

In 1910, when the Democratic party, flushed
with victory after victory, held unlimited sway
throughout this land, the Wings held grand State
Convention In the city Of Richmond. Among other
distinguished visiters, Henry A. Wise was there
from Washington. After the regular business Of
the body had been disposed of orators from differ
eut points were called to the stand and among
them Mr.. Wise. This gentleman, then In the
strength and vigor Of his manhood, with all those
elements Of oratory which made him the pride of
his friends and the terror Of his foes, fullblown,
ascended the rostrum. Casting his eagle eye over
the vast concourse before him, he commenced by
stating that as a member Of the Wing Central
Committee at Washington, he might be expected
TO be In possession Of information that would glad
den the hearts Of the friends Of the glorious Wing
cause; and pointing his long bony finger at the
chairman, and gracefully waving IL up and down,
he exclaimed, with all the pathos for which he was
30 celebrated, Power totters to It's fall !"
This short sentence had an electric effect upon
the audience for they felt that the spirit Of proph
scy was upon him. Old Col Miller, Of Powhatan,
who occupied the chair felt IT, rolled from side 10
side, while tears Of Joy chased each other down
his cheek the great heart Of the multitude felt IT,
and responded In one long, loud shout Of glad
ness.
Where Is Mr.. Wise now9 An overseer among
the operatives who are delving among the rub
bish Of tho "power that tottered TO its ial, and
wasting his energies seeking to rebuild from the
broken fragments that lie scattered around. What
n humiliating spectacle i-dbiag. Virginian,

by Charles Dickens which appears in the Literary
Life Of the Countess Of Blessington:
"Pray say 10 Count D'0rsay everything that IL
cordial and loving from me. The travelling purse
he gave me has been Of immense service. IL has
been constantly opened All Italy seems TO yearn
TO put its hand in t. think Of hanging II, when
come back 10 England, on a nail as a trophy, and
Of gasbng the brim like the blade OF an old sword,
and saying to my son and heir, as they DO upon
the stage You see this notch, boy ? Five hun.
dred francs were laid low on that day for post
horses. Where this gap is, waiter charged your
father treble the correct amoun:-and got 1t. This
end, worn into teeth like the rasped edge OF an
old file, Is sacred to the custom-houses, boy, the
passports and the shabby soldiers and town-gates,
who put an open hand and a dirty coat-cuf into
the coach windows Of all Forestieri. Take II, boy.

Horrible.

aEyery Democrat should burn with vindictiye
desire to dip his dagger in the blood of the assassin
that conspires not only the destruction Of the par
ty, but the overthrow Of the liberties Of the coun-
try.-Richmond Enquirer of Monday.
Who don't feel scared now9 Ought not every
Wing and Known Nothing in the land to shudderg
Did you ever hear such brave, cool talk? "Every
Democrat should burn with vindictve desire to
DIP HIS DAGGER in the blood "-of the Wings and
Know Nothings, and anti-Wise men generally !.
Why, our neighbor is surely the most cruel and
blood-thirsty individual on earth Why he should
be so anxious to murder everybody who opposes
Mr.. Wise, is something entirely unaccountable. Is
that the only hope You have Of securing Wise's
clection--by killing off those who design voting
against hms A remarkably effectual method, it
is true, but will it work smoothly, think you?
I" Dipping daggers " Now that is awful 1t is
too bad 1t is, indeed, an unnecessary refinement
of cruelty. Why, If our neighbor would only be
satisfied to prick or stick, or thrust " a dagger
into our inoensve carcasses, we might be disposed
to submit But the idea Of dipping, digging, goug
ing dagger into body, makes US feel decidedly
curious. Wonder If our bloody -mnded neighbor
and his faithful associates are very expert in the
:" dip-dagger" exercise? 1t is important that all
the anti-Wise men in the State should begin to
take lessons themselves. There is no telling how
coon they may be required to take hand at the
"dip-dagger' game. 1t Is an entirely new game
in this part Oh the country, ana, OF course, little
practice is necessary before the unintiated can
prudently play it. Who is the professor of the
"dip-dagger" science in Richmond ? Will our
neighbor condescend to let heather know
There is one thing about the "dip-dagger" bu-
sness that we don't exactly understand. We can
readily perceive how a man not a Know-Nothing
can be dipped into by a ferocous dagger, but how
is it possible to dpdagger" the invisible and in
tangible Sam And yet Sam is the very individu-
al who is producing all the mischief in the country,
and who renders our neighbor 80 very uneasy and
belicose How, We pray to know, can anything in
the shape of carnal weapon hurt Sam No NOR
tai man has ever seen or touched him, though he
has been smelt and felt, and heard of by great
many persons, and in great many places
Mr.. Wise has been chasing the mischieyous ras-
cal for three whole months, and yet swears
he has neither seen nor touched him in all his tray
els. He, though, has evidently smelt him occa-
sonaly, and heard of him frequently, and will feel
him, too, most awfully about the last Of May. Sam
was in Alexandria on Tuesday, big as life and
twice as natural, and yet nobody saw him--he was
felt though, for he sprawled more than score Of
spoil-seeking gentry at q single blow.
Now, we are curious 70 know how our neighbor
OF the Enquirer can "dip his dagger" into that indi
yidual Rich. Wing.

less it arises from preyiouslJ Existing obstruction
table, no harm arise from their use in any guam
tity; but it is better that any medicine should be
taken udicousy. Minute directions for their use in
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
given on the box. Among the complaints which
have been speedily cured by them we may mention
Liver Complaint in its various forms OF Jaundice,
Indigestion, Languor and Loss OF Appetite Lstless-
Fever and Ague, pain in the Side and Loins, for in
truth all these but the consequence OF diseased
action of the liver As aperient they afford prompt
and sure relief in Costveness Piles Colo, Dysentery,
Humors, Scrofula and Scurvy. Colds, with soreness
of the body, Ulcers and impurity of the blood. In
short, any and every case where purgative is re-
CURED
They have also produced some singularly success
ful cures in Rheumatism, Gout Dropsy, Gravel, Fry
spelas, Papitaton Of the Heart, Pains in the Back
Stomach and Side. They should be freely taken in
the spring of the year. TO purify the blood and prepare

restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood and BY their stimulant action on the circua
tory system renovate the strength Of the body, and
restore the wasted diseased energies OF the whole

even though no serious arrangement exists but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far
