The Home Journal for this week pub
fishes the following original anecdote
of Irving. 1t says:
"The subjoined anecdotes, never be-
fore published, we believe Tone OF them
Is quite timely, are illustrative of Ir-
Wings modesty, or rather his dittidence,
as exhibited on one or two memorable
occasions when confidence and self
possession appeared to him peculiarly
necessary. On the occasion of the visit
of Charles Dickens 10 this country,
grand dinner, as will doubtless be rec
objected by old New Yorkers, was CIV
en- to him at the City Hotel, at which
large number OF literary and other
celebrities assembled to do honor to
the distinguished foreigner. After the
guest himself, the most important per-
son present was Washington Irving,
who had been selected to preside, aud
from whom felicitous and interesting
address was expected. To the utter
surprise of every body, however, when
he arose to speak he was scarcely able
to express a coherent word, and amer
two or three attempts, sat down, amid
the laughter of the party, completely
discomhtted. His failure afforded Dick
ems an excellent opportunity to show
his humor and amiHbillty Rt the same
time, which he did not omit to do when
he got up to respond. The next morn
ing Irving wrote to Parke Benjamin as
follows:
DEAR PARKE-I broke down last
night, just as knew / should.
IRVING"
Some time after this the Democratic
party of this city, feeling the need of II
strong candidate to enable them toe ar
ry pending mayoralty election, chose
the author of the Sketch Book, and a
committee. composed of some of the
leading politicians of the day, was dis
patched to Sunnyside to apprise him of
his nomination, and obtain, If possible,
his acceptance. Arriving at his resi-
dence, they were met at the door by the
housek eeper, who, after eyeing them
suspIciously and asking divers ques-
tions, ushered them into the library,
where they found the illustrlous author
reclining on q lounge. After the usual
civilities, the spokesman OF the party
made known the object of their visitin
the most unexcepiOnRble set phrases.
Whereupon, Mr.. Irving commenced to
reply, aud got as far as 81 thank you
gentlemen, for the complimentary
manner in which you have conveyed
to me this honor, but --" and Paus-
ing for an instant, he was relieved by
the housekeeper, who at that moment
entered the room to announce refresh-
ments, and said, evidently having
overheard the conversation: "But you
shan't go, sir;" when Mr.. Irving again
resumed, and concluded in these words:
"Gentlemen, you have your answer
and then politely led the way TO the
dininR-room. a

tinued his training at Newbnrg, NOV
ing MP and down in front OF The city,

degree of interest among the specta-
tors. Hamin did not appear, having
returned 10 his training quarters at

There are no letters ''held for
postage" at the Providence, r. l.,
Office. A wealthy gentleman visits
the office every week and furnishes
stamps for all letters that require it.
What motive prompts him to this
action is unknown, but it is said that
some years ago, he suffered loss to
a large amount through the failure
of letter to reach its destination.
The foundation of a striking fiction
was laid in New York Court on
Monday. A woman, as witness,
swore she had been O widow for
twelve years. Thenext witness called
proved to be her husband, all that
time absent. Tears, surprise, faint
ing, reconciliation and rewedding
followed.
In view of the reviving vigor and
prospects of the Democratic party, the
Memphis Bulletin suggests that the
Missouri Republican and Missouri
Democrat swap names. these being
directly antagonistic to their princi-
pels respectively.

MORE TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF
Heinitsh's Queens Delight.
FXTRACTs FROM LETTERS: seThe
~ Queens Delight is beginning to
awaken the attention of our physicians.
Its remarkable curative power is seen in
it's wonderful effect upon disease. AS O.
blood purifier, there is no medicine like it
known to the profession. A gentleman
told me that his son has been taking the
Queens Delight, and is more benefited by
it than by any other medicine. He wants
a dozen bottles."
Extract from letter: "It is due to YOU
to state in this public manner, in order
l have tried your Queens Delight, and
found it not only what you said it was-'sa
pure medicine"-but the best medicine I
have ever takcnfor eruptiOns and general
bad health. had ali eruption all over my
body. with impaired digestion and disor-
dered liver, and have tried great many
medicines without any benefit. 1 have
taken one bottle of your Queens Delight,
the eruption has disappeared, my appetite
is better, my liver and digestion is i'm
proved. l am satisfied one or two more
bottles will cure me-"
Extract from letter: "At the close OF
the war, my constitution was shattered I
could not eat, sleep or perform any duty
whatever, such was my PROSTATE condi-
ton. Medicine and medical aid l had in
abundance, snch was my condition up to
few months since, when began the use of
your Queens Delight. I have used two
bottles, my constitution is greatly i'm
proved, my appetite is good, enjoy refresh
ing sleep, and am able to perform my share
OF daily labor"
Extract from letter Wonderful effect
OF only one bottle: 81 have used only 8
half bottle of Queens Delight for boils
and eruptions of the skin and itching hu-
mors of the blood, which annoyed me very
much. 1 am entirely cured. l think your
medicine n valuable one"
remarkable case of liver complaint and
headache cured by the use of "Heinitshs 8
Queens Delight" A lady of unquestioned
worth and reputation voluntarily gives tes-
timony of the wonderful effects of this
medicine. She has been from early years
n martyr to headaches, caused by imper-
feet action of the liver, producing intense
headache and Pam over the eyes. She has
taken only four bottles, and assures US of
the perfect cure 1T has made. Shenow en-
joys good health.
Still another: During last spring, had
been troubled with obstinate chills and
fever, which, when cured, left my system
in wretched condition. blood impure, and
l was afflicted with an angry. and, as 1 at
one time thought, an incurable, cutaneous
eruption over my entire body. The most
violent remedies suggested failed to work
cure, until, at the instance of friend, 1
tried DR.. Heinitsh's Queens Delight. Less
than two bottles cured me, leaving my skin
in healthy condition. Ny general health
is as good as ever. For such purposes,
have, ever since my cure, unhcsitatingly
recommended your Queens Delight"
Don't buy any but the right kind. All
genuine Queens Delight has the copyright
mark on the outside, and it is the only
medicine which produces these wonderful
cures. For sale wholesale and retail at
