DEsnNG's LIFE or GKAST.-So many BIZ

that degree of perplexity is felt by some
readers in decidiug which Is the best Sever
al Of those which have already appeared have
high claims, both on the seOre OF accuracy aud
literary merit, bat TO none are we disposed TO
accord higher praise than to that just finished
by the Hon. Henry G. Deming, and published
by 5. 5. Scranton & Co., Hartford, Conn. Mr.
Demiug has unusual qualifications for such a
work. His extensive euture, his mastery Of
vivid aud eloquent style, his enthusiasm for
his subject and he opportunities for acquiring
correct Information which his personal rela-
tons with the General have afforded him, all
combine ID peculiarly fit him for the task
Gen. Grant has himself said tkat "there is no
man in the country whom he would prefer to
have write his life" before Mr. Deming and he
has afforded all the assistance in his power to
make the work accurate. The ample materi-
ais in the authors hands have been used with
great care and skill and the result is a truly
admirable biography, at once graphic, discrlm-
mating and deeply interesting. The lite and
character of the man who fills so high place
n the country, and is destined soon to i'll one
yet higher, are here portrayed with fidelity
grace and vigor.

More Causes of Blood Poison

Excessive labor or undue excitement sometimes
occasion serious sickness by causing an accelera
motion to the blood. Grief fear and anxiety hurt by
making the blood to circulate slower. Both causes
may produce serious evils to the health unless nre

the superior advantage of BRANDRETH's PILLS.

The New York Evening Mail gives some
account of the principal personages who are
prominent in the great events now transporting
in Spain.
The Queen of Spain, who stands so much
IN the way of everything, is corpu'ent laay
of thrty-eight years of age. She has all the
modern attachments of a husband and child
rem, but one seldom hears OF them. She is
generally believed to have led a life of dissipa-
ton and crime, which would have ostracsed
apy woman who was not queen, from re-
spectacle society. She is reported as willing
to abdicate in favor of one of her children, if
she can be allowed to remain as regent during
the latter's minority. Her mother, Maria
Christina, is a shrewd, clever, INSCRIPTIONS
woman. but has brains.
Espartero, who is now seventy-six years old,
has been prominent in Spanish politics for
half century. He was of humble parentage,
the son of wheelright; began as common
| soldier, worked his way up, and fought in those
| interminable Carlst wars, which caused so
manv of the last generation to lose their lives
for nothing. He has filled many high posi-
tons. and in 1854 was at the head of the gov
eminent Since 1856 he has lived in retire
ment, but now reappears on the stage with all
the freshness of youth. He is the oldest vet
eran among all the Spanish politicians
Gen. Prim has also received many honors at
| the hands of the Government he is trying to
| overthrow. He has been allied at different
times to various political parties, and is gem
| uine soldier of fortune. He has travelled much,
| mil; victad this
during our war; and admires Mcclellan. In
1866 he headed an unsuccessful revolt against
Isabella, and escaped by fleeing into Portugal
and there giving up his arms. Had be been
caught and decapitated or hanged, it would
have saved his Queen some trouble He is
described as a man considerably below the
middle size, with small and slender, but APP
parently wiry and extremely active frame; 8
bright, lively, intelligent countenance, with 8
BAD complexion, the visible result of that Liver
complaint under which he is well known tt
labor. His eyes are large and expressive; his
features tolerably regular, with no other pc
culiarity than the high cheek bones. Hii
manners are courteous: he speaks fiuently
both in his native tongue and in French, and
reads English.
Marshal Serrano, Duke of Tore, is abou
fifty years old, has been Goyernor-General o
Cuba, and, it is said, was once one of the earl.
