The death of Mr. Boxer, the veal
thy wine-merchant, whose daughter a
few years since married his coachman,
John Dean, naturally revives little
chat in reference to that romantic af-
fair. The impression seems now to
prevail, that, SO far as her own happi-
ness is concerned, Miss Boxer did not,
after all, make so poor match. Her
husband, soon after the marriage, was
appointed to clerkship in the GUS
tom house, which he still holds, and
the duties of which he discharges
creditably to himself, and with fidelity
to the Government. He is O modest,
unassuming man, has quiet but COM
Portable home in Williamsburg, is per-
fectly irreproachable in his habits and
associations, minds his own business,
and is faithful and affectionate hus-
band. He avoids notoriety of every
sort, aud pursues the way of an up
right, sterling man and good citizen.
Wherein is the family of John Dean
inferior to that of the late Mr. Boxer !?

AN amusing occurrence took place
in the New Jersey State Senate AT
Trenton, on Monday last. A rumor
having obtained currency that the wife
of the Senator from Burlington had
recently presented him with triples,
resolution was presented. rendering
him the congratulations of his peers,
and recommending that his example be
followed by the entire body Of grave
and reverend Senators. The resolu-
tion was laid on the table, amid ter
rife explosion Of laughter, which could
not be restrained, the Hobbies relishing
the joke equally as kecnly as those
within the bar.

DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM NAPIER. -
Sir William Napier, K. G. B. whose
death is announced by the Edinburg,
was born in Castletown, Ireland. in
1888. His father was Colonel the
Honorable George Napier, and his
mother the celebrated Sarah Lennox,
daughter of the second Duke of Rich
mond. When but fifteen years of age
Sir William entered the army. He
served at the seige of Copenhagen,
followed Sir John Moore to the Span
ish Peninsula, in 1903, and was in
command ofthe F orty- third Regiment
at Salamanca, Neville and Nice The
wounds which he received in the bat
ties in which he was engaged, were
emphatic proof of his daring bravery
as soldier. For six years, from 1912
to l848, when he was created Mill
tary Knight, and became Colonel of
the Twenty seventh Regiment, Sir
William was Governor Of Guernsey -
In 1921 he was advanced to the rank
of Lieutenant General. The intervals
of leisure which he enjoyed were de-
voted to recording the history of the
wars in which he had taken part. To
his pen We are endebted for the F." His
tory of the War in the Peninsula and
in the South of France, from the year
1907 to 1914" The publication OF
this work, which consists of six vol
umes, was commenced in 1928. Among
his other but less formidable works.
are The Conquest of Scinde," Life
and Opinions of Sir Charles Napier, .
and English Battles and Sieges in
the Peninsula, the last of which was
published in 1855, and comprises much
of the matter embraced in his first
historical work. Besides treating of
these heavier themes, Sir William
pen found relaxation in the compost
ton of the various review, and one or
two works of fiction. Sir Charles
Napier, the Conquerer of Scindc. was
the brother Of the Historian.

shortness of breath, night-sweats, and extreme
weakness and lassitute in my whole system. My

had given up all hope of recovery. as nothing

OF the disease, having been confined to her bed
for over year and pronounced beyond hope by
our best physicians. She also was entirely cured
by the Wild Cherry, but it required six or eight

preventive, being naturally weak chested.

afflicted to try DR.. Wistar'S Balsom Of Wild

The American Republic not Failure.

The American Republic not q Failure,
The argument of Mr.. Edward Rveretts
Grafton, delivered before the municipal
authorities of Boston, on the 4th instant was
that the experiment Of the American Re
public, far from being failure, as has been
held by Lord Grey, and as is frequently
alleged by the doubtful and despairing among
ourselves, has, in reality proved entirely
successful. We quote the charact teristic con-
cluding passage:
l close where began; the noble predic-
ton Of Adams is fulfilled. The question
decided eighty-four years ago in Philadelphia,
was the greatest question ever decided in
America; and the event has shown that
greater, perhaps, never was decided among
men. The great Declaration, with its life
giving prime pies, has within the interval,
exerted its influence, from the central plai ms
of America, to the eternal SHOWS Of the Cor
dilleras from the western shores Of the Allan
tic to the fzrthest East, crossed the earth and
the ocean; and circled the globe Nor let US
fear that its force is exhausted, for its prin-
ciples are as broad as humanity-as eternal
as truth. And if the visions Of the patriotic
seers are destined to be fulfilled; if it is the
will Of Providence that the lands which now
sit in darkness shall see the day; that the
south and east of Europe and the west Of Asia
shall be regenerated; and the ancient and
mysterious regions Of the East the cradle of
mankind, shall received back in these latter
days from the West the rich repayment of the
early debt Of civilization, and rejoice in the
cheerful light Of constitutional freedom, that
light will 90 forth from Independence Hall in
Philadelphia; that lesson Of constitutional
freedom they will learn from this days
Declaration.
