carrying out the policy determined upon by
Mr.. Lincoln. His late appointment OF that
cowardly, mob-law supporting, and egotistical

to disgust any Democrat, to say nothing Of hls

THE LIARS QUARREL.--In his sworn testi.
inony before the Impeachment Committee.
Detective Baker, the spy and villain Of all
work of Stanton and Holt, deliberately swore
that Andrew johnson had, while Provisional
Governor Of Tennessee, written q reasonable
letter to jefferson Davis, imparting very i'm.
portant information; that Gov. Brownlow
knew of the letter, as the copy Of it had been
stolen from JOhnson's private drawer by one
of Johnson's sons Old Bruwnlow has, since
Bakers testimony became public, denied al;
knowledge Of any such letter, and his son,
who edits the Knoxville Wing, denounces Ba.
ker as wilful perjurer for having made such
a revelation. Tie trouble is. that, while
Brownlow and his son in this case very likely
tell the truth. they both and Baker are such
notorious and Infamous liars, it is difficult to
place credit in anything either Of them says.

NJ. A. Carter, who represented Oneida Coun.
ty in the Idaho Legislature of last year. We
learn that the requisition was issued at the in
stance of VIM. Murphy. with whom Carter had
some business difficulty last spring, growing
out of alleged frauds upon Murphy by Carter
in relation to a toll road franchise which the
latter had obtained through the Legislature.

Stanton says Grant forced him from the

ther, that by making such slashing retrench-

Speaking Gut.

In the long run the habit of keeping
back much of what he thinks acts destruct-
lively on the man himself, The practice
dims his conscience and c.lters his creed.
He suppresses SO much tnat in the end he
blots out part Of himself, and hardly knows
what he believes as man, and what as
partisan. While the process of decline is
going on, the mans utterances lack the
warmth, the clear ring, the sharp edge,
which we find in the ideas that come
straight from the heart and brain. That is
why partisan speeches sound SO hollow.
That is why the writings of able men in
the leading columns even of the chief jour-
nails so often lack edge and distinctness,
and seem the work of an intellectual ma
chine, rather than of a living intellect. 1t
is for the same reason that most men
are SO much smaller than nature meant
them to be- Nature meant them to be big
and well formed; but they are stunted and
disproportlOned because some of their
faculties have not been exercised at all.
They will not speak out, they will not say
what they think; so they become like
unto the thing they worship-the God of
corporate action, whose gospel is that of
Suppression, whose hymns are made up
ofabstract phrases, punctuated with winks,
and unto whose throne goes up, day and
night, the incense of hypocrisy. Mr..
Mill believes this lack OF individuality to
be the most dangerous sign in modern
civilization. At least if men would dare
to lead the lives marked out for them by
nature, they would speedily be very diff
ferent from race of mental and moral
dwarfs. Keats spoke the truth under the
veil of poetic exaggeration when he said
that if each would express himself, each
would be great, and humanity would be-
come ga grand democracy Of forest trees"

A TaIene tor Conversation.

A talent Tor conVers alton has an extra
ordinary value for common, everyday
uses Of life. Let any one who has this
gift enter into a social circle anywhere.
How every ones face brightens at his en-
wheels in motion, encouraging the timid,
calling out unostentatiously the resources
of the reserved and shy, substituting the
facile, and making everybody glad and
happy.
To converse well is not to engross the
conversation. 1t is not to do all the talk
ing. tits not necessarily to talk with very
great brilliancy. A man may talk with
such SURPRISING power and splendor as to
awe the rest of the company into
silence, or excite their envy, and SO pro-
duce chill where his aim should
be to produce warmth and sunshine. be
should seek the art of making others feel
quite at home with him, so that no matter
how great may be his attainments or repu-
tation, or how small may be theirs, they
find it insensibly just as natural and pleas
ant taking to him, as hearing him talk
The talent for conversation, indeed, more
almost than anything else in lie, requires
tact and discretion. 1t requires one TO
have most varied knowledge, and to have 1t
at instant and absolute disposal, SO that ne
can use Just as much, or just as little, as
the occasion demands. 1t requires the
ability to pass instantly and with ease from
the playful to the serious from books 10
men, from the mere phrases OF courtesy TO
the expressions of sentiment and passion.

Many ladies, particularly mothers nursing, COM

haustion, arising in the morning. On the wife
and mother devolves the responsibility of regulat
ing the duties of the household. Her cares are
numerous and the mental as well as physical
powers are frequently called into requisition.
She often finds her slightest occupation weary
task and existence burden, while at the same
time she has no regular disease. HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BITTERS, if resorted to at this period,
will prove an unfailing remedy for this annoying
lassitude. The effects of this potent agent are
soon seen in the rosy check and elastic step of the
head of the family, with restored health and
renewed spirits she takes her accustomed place in
the family circle. If this friend in need be regu-
larly used, those depressing symptoms will never
be complained of, and not only would lassitude not
be experienced, but many diseases following its
advent be avoided. AS a MEDICAL AGENT it has
no equal, while its pleasing flavor and hcalthful
effects have made it gen .ra favorite. 1t is free
from all properties calculated to impair the
system, and i.s op-cations are at once mild,
soothing and efficient. All who have used the

ClerkshiTss.

/ am done with official life for the pres

be imposed upon remain. l know num-
bers of them in the departments, who are
never informed when there is to be Cabi.
net meeting, whose advice is never asked
about war, or finance, or commerce, by the
heads of the nation, any more than if they
were not connected with the Government,
and who actually stay in their Offices day
after day and work. They know their inn
portance to the nation, and they uncon-
sciously show it in their bearing, and the
way they order their sustenance at the
restaurant, but they work. | know one
who has to paste all sorts of little scraps
from the newspapers into a scrap book,
sometimes as many as eight or ten scraps
day. He doesn't do it web, but he does
1t as well as he can. It is very fatiguing.
1t is eXhausting to the intellect Yet he
only gets 81 800 year. With brain
IKE his, that young man could amass
thousands and thousands of dollars in
some other pursuit, if he chose to
do 1t. But no-his heart is with his
country, and he will serve her as long as
she has scrap-book left. And I know
clerks who don't know how to write very
well, but such knowledge as they possess
they feebly lay at the feet of their country,
Gnu 1oil Ou duu SuucT LOT SS,OUO year.
What they write has to be written over
again by other clerks, sometimes; but
when man has done his best for his
country should his country complain !?
Then there are clerks that have no
clerkships, and are waiting and wait
ing for vacancy-waiting pa
tiently for chance to help their country
out-and while they are waiting they only
get barely So. 600 a year for it. 1t is sad
it is very sac.
When member of Congress has per-
sonal friend who is gifted, but has no en-
ployment wherein his great powers may
be brought to bear, he confers him upon
his country, and gives him clerkship in
a department. And there, that man has
to slave his life out, fighting documents
for the nation that never thinks OF him,
never sympathizes with him-and all for
s., 900 or $4,000 year. When l shall
have completed my list of all the clerks in
the several departments, with my state
ment Of what they have to do and what
they get fer it, you will, see that there are
not half enough clerks, and what there are
do not get half enough pay.
