Mrs. Fremont.

This lady. it is not necessary to inform
our readers, is the daughter of Col. Benton
of Missouri, and is one OF the bes: educat-
ed, and most accomplished of American
women. The Boston Chronicle relates the
following anecdote concerning her:
50 While Col. Fremont was making his ad-
mirable arrangements, on our Western frou-
tier, for that exploring tour in which he
broke his road into the valley of the Sacra-
mento, his young wife in Washington. ac-
cording to his request, opened all letters
addressed TO him there, and forwarded such
an she deemed it important for him to see.
Among the rest she opened Government
dispatch countermanding his tour, the fruit
perhaps of jealousy in superior official
statement. A most lovely wife, as she had
proved herself to be, m ust have been under
a strong temptation to forward that; but, hap
PLY for the world, she took the responsible
ity of keeping it, and neither her husband
nor any one else except the poor Tite Bar
nacle who sent it, knew ANYTHING of the
matter until Col. Fremont returned, having
gloriously effected the objects of the ex-
pedition.
Once more, during the protracted struggle
which resulted in the election of Mr.. Banks
to the sPeakership, there happened to be
fellow passengers in a crowded car between
and Baltimore, Bostonian, as
remarkable as any other in this city for
to the shareholders, and lady,
admired beyond most others in Washington
society for the brillancy Of her wit and the
intelligent interest which she takes in pub
c affairs. The conversation, of which she
was the centre, turning on the great con-
est in the House, she expressed her decided
for the Republican side, exulted
n its prospects of success, and compliment
ID Mr.. Banks in the highest terms. This
vas too much for the Bostonan, who ex-
PRESSED his surprise that Southern lady |
hould couutenance such demagogue as
Banks, and such an enemy to Southern
Institutions. The lady replied, 81 can re-
ieve your surprise in regard to myself, sir
or my husband, Col. Fremont, is a Free
oiler but let me express ny surprise,
hat you, sir, Northerner and Bostonian,
hould oppose Mr.. Banks in behalf of South
rn institut ons!"
As the Bostonian who met with this ter
ible rebuke was candid enough TO tell the
tory on his return, we forbear to give his
ame, in the hope that it has made him a
7iser and better man.

James Buchanan's Political History.

The Hon. J. CLANCY Jones, in recent
speech, denied that Mr. Buchanan had ever
faltered in his allegiance to the party which
has nominated him to the Presidency. He
said that all such accusations against Mr..
Buchanan are answered
"By the fact that twenty years ago. in
the Senate of the United States, he was
among the first Northern men to resist the
inroads of fAbolitionism.
"By his opposition to The circulation of
insurrectionary documents through the mails
of the United States among the slaves of
the South
"By his determined support of the bi ad-
hitting Arkansas into the American Union.
"By this early support of the annexation
of Texas.
'By his persevering support of the Fugitive
Slave law.
''By his energetic efforts to effect the re-
peal of the law of the State of Pennsylva mia,
denying to the Federal authorities the use
of her prisons for the detention of fugitive
slaves.
by his early and unyielding opposition
to the Wimot Previso.
Z "By the fact that, while member of
Mr.. Polk's Cabinet, against the opposition
of fanaticism, he proposed to extend the Mis-
souri, line to the Pacific, amid the delight
and gratitude of national men of all p -rts of
the Union.
"By every vote he gave in the American
Congress on the question of Slavery, and by
the fact that, of all Northern men. he has
been among the most prominent in assert
ing and defending strict construction of
the Federal Constitution.
"By the construction which he placed up
on the compromise measures of 1850, in the
letter addressed by him in November of the
same year to the people of Philadelphia, in
which The declared that the compromise
measures had superseded the Missouri line.
or, to use his own language, that that line
had passed away which tconstruction led
inevitably to the adoption of the principle
of popular sovereignty, embodied in the
Kansas-Nebraska bill"

hero, but compare him with the tried
statesman Buchanan.--SprinQfetG Argus.
Well, let Gus compare him." Every school
boy knows what Fremont has done for his
country. His name is imperishably con-
nected with the most stirring incidents in
our nations history. He not only partici-
pated in great achievements, but he accom-
plished them.
What has Buchanan ever done! He op-
posed the War of 1912, and vilainously
libeled every honorable name connected
with it. He was a member of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature, and talked! He was a
United States Senator, andrew eight
dollars a day from the Treasury! He was
secretary of State, and-surrendered the
disputed Territory in Oregon to Great

A Canine Nobleman.

We take the following from the
Trinity California; Times. II re-
cords one Of the most remarkable
instances we ever heard, of canine
sngaciiy
William Drcdec lives about five
miles from town, at the base Of the
mountain which towers North of us.
| A short time after midnight on the
morning Of Wednesday last, he was
aroused from his slumbers by the
howl of n dog. No menace on his
part could rid him Of the presence
of the strange intruder. The dog
continued to walk around the cabin,
still repeating his dismal moaning
bowling, occasionally making efforts
To efct an entrance through the clos
ed doorway. Surprised and some
what alarmed at this singular demon
suation, Mr. Dredgc at last hastily
blessed himself aud unbolled the
door, when a larger masliir rushed
in. The dog at once caught hold
of his trousers and employed every
gentle mears to induce the man to
accompany him oulsice. Dredge's
first impression was, that the animal
was mad aud yet so peculiar aud
earnest were the dumb enlreatles,
tina; he finally yielded and proceed
ed without the cabin. A joyful yell
was the result, and the delighted
brute, now capering and wagging
hIs tail before him, and now return
ing and gently Selling him by the
hand and trousers, induced Dredge
10 follow him.
Their course was up the precip-
ltous side OF the mountain, and
soon they were forcing their way
a snow-dfift that had settled
in one Of its numerous assures. Here
comes the wonder. Upon the snow
lay the body of a woman, who had /
evidently persisted from cold and ex
hausion. Her limbs were already !
stiilened in death but what was the |
surprise of MIR Dredge TO see that
faithful dog ferret out from a bundle |
Of clothing that lay by the side of
The woman, young ch'ld, about
Two years old, still warm and living.
A little inspection, aided 10y the star
light and the brightness of the snow,
enabled him to discover that the per- /
son Of the woman was nearly naked. |
With n mothers affection she had
stripped her own person in order to
furnish warmth to her exposed in
FAINT. The trusty dog had completed
her work Of self-sacrI6co.
Mr.. Dredge Immediately conveyed
the child TO MS cabin, aud, arousing
some of his neighbors, proceeded IL
gain TO the mountain TO secure from
the attacks Of wild beasts the person
of the unfortunate woman. Her
body was buried the next day. The
child and dog have been adopted by
this good Samaritan but as yet nc
has been unable to obtain any light
as TO the name of the woman, or
how she happened TO stay on the
dismal mountain side at such an uu-
fortunate hour. The child is doing
well, and is "A handsome boy,

the skin. are all essential to the COZ
rect understanding Of this subject,
but we cannot go over that ground
again.
The cases of young people who
require the shower bath are very few
indeed il is a remedy of great
power, and should be prescribed and
carefully watched by the logical and
accomplished physician ! but there
can be no possible doubt Of the util-
ity of morning and evening ablu-
ton of the whole body with tepid
water the whole year through.
For all who are not actually ro-
bust, the warm bath is almost as ex-
tensviely prejudiciaI as the cold one
to all delicate people it is decidedly
oxhausting it is used by surgeons
in some cases to obtain the most
thorough relaxation of all the it's
sues of the body, and especially the
skin and superficial ones. When
tepid water and some mild soap are
applied briskly to the upper parts Of
the body for a few minutes, and
then followed by water a little
warmer to rinse the skin, the person
standing and exposed naked to the
air in summer, the effect is exhilcr-
ating and delightful as soon as the
surface is dried let the body be
thus thoroughly cleansed in four
sections, and requiring not more
than two minutes each, ending with
the flesh and nail.brush TO the
hands and feet last, and let this be
done morning and evening, and so
far as bathing is concerned, that
person has fulfilled all the require
ments Of a complete physiology aud
Of good breeding and all other
kinds of bathing, such as the plunge
and sea bath, may be agreeable to
the robust aud powerful, but they
are always precarious, and often,
very often, deadly to the delicate
person practised MS it now is, we
believe the bath to be one of the /
most exhausting and deadly means |
of destroying the enfeebled consti- /
tuition of the miserable modern A
merican woman.
