In September last, Adolph Moses, a

suggestion Of Hon. l. N. Morris, wrote 10
General Grant TO ask whether, as rumored,
he regretted the issuance OF Order No.

antipathy TO the Jews as sect or race.
General Grant replied In tho following

The Coroper's jury concluded its investga

Reno and Anderson, the express robbers, had
a private conversation with the Governor while

the inception of the plan which was afterwards
carried out.

Any person habitualy costive cannot be in
the enjoyment of health. II not relieved cos
tiveness will result in confirmed cases of
Bowels, Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, and
surrounding organs. When costiveness is
radically cured, all the machinery of the sys-
tenn moves in harmony. Marshall's Elixir
permanently cures costiveness, and SO pre-
vents diseases more painful and dangerous.
Headache quickly yields to its curative
powers. Being entirely vegetable, it may be
safely taken by all persons at any time, with
perfect safety. Headache, besides being
very painful complaint, is also weakening to
the nervous system, and may lead to palsy in
its various forms if not soon relieved. Mar
sball's Elixir SO strengthens the nerves that
they perform their duties without pain or un-
easiness.
BY supplying the stomach with the medici-
nal principle, the want of which causes Dys-
pepsia this distressing and common disease is
quickly cured by its use. 1t not only supplies
this to the stomach, but imparts strength and
vigor to the whole digestive apparatus, so that
health, with cheerful spirits and ruddy coun-
tenance, is fully established. Read the fol-
lowing certifcate:-

LORD BRoUGHAM-Henry Lord BrouSham,
whose death, IN the ninetieth year OF ms age,
Is announced in the cable dispatches Yesterday
morning, was born in lsdlnSpuig, Sco ldho,
Where he received his education ana Where
until 1897 he Dracticed at the Scottish bar.
In 1867 he permanently left his native city.
and was shortly afterwards called to the bar
by the society of Lincoln's Inn, London, soon
acquiring a large practice. In 1910 he entered
Parliament for the borough of>Camelford and
attached himself to the Whig opposition, d-
recting has energies chiefly to the slavery
question: IN CONJUNCTION with Wilberiorce ana
other retormers Of less note. When Pariia-
mehC was dissolved in 1872 he contested Nv
erpool with Mr.. Canning, losing the electon
ana remaining in private life untii 1911, when
he resumed his seat IN Parliament,
this time for the borough OF Winchel-
sea. From this time Until the reform
crisis ia 1880, Mr.. Brougham labored enegeti,
cally and iearlcssly in the cause OF freedom
AID the rights OF conscience, gaining large
influence a I'd Il wide reputation by his efforts
for the anne iorati0n of the lower classes, and
drawing upon himself more public attention
than almost any man of his time. Ia the
election which followed the death Of George
~ he was returned as a member from the
county OF York, representing one of the most
powerful and aristOcratic constituencies in the
kingdom. He was immediately ackno v.e1g-
Ell as the chief OF the Liberal party, and
through his attacks the Tory ministry was
compelled to sign. When the new cabiuet
was formed under Earl Spencer, Mr.. Brough-
an became lcrd and chance lor, and dur
ing the four years i'll watch he held office un-
der the crown he was tie constant champion
o. The middle classes working in ardent SUI
port Of all measures of reform with zeal that
was scarcely short of enthusiasm. Upon the
construction of the Melbourne cabinet in 1884
Lord Brougham was not included in the min
isterlal combina ion, and he never afterwards
served the crown in the capacity of an advs-
er His public career was henceforth one of
desultory warfare, attacking friends and foes
alike and dreaded by the Tory party especial
ly as spectre Of revolution.
His literary lite was NJ less remarkable and
fruitful than his political lite. He WIS early
enrolled among the writers for the Edinburgh
REVIEW, and long continued his brilliant con-
tributions to the pages of that magazine.
he was one of the principal founders of the
Soc ETY. for the Diffusion of Useful Knowl-
edge, and wrote the Lives OF the Statesmen
of George ILL.," and also number of vol
umes entitled political Philosophy" He has
besides written many pamphlets ON questions
relating to science, metaphysics and politics,
and a volume of his speeches at the Bar
and in the Senate" has been published He
has for many years, except during the sessions
| of Parliament, resided at Cannes, in the
| south OF France, where he had chateau,
called the Villa of Louise Eleonore, and
where he was living at the time of his death.
