The Rejected Testimony - What stanton
Thought Of the Tenure or Oence Law
Probability OF the Presadens's Acauittal.
WASHINGTON, April 20, 1868.
The Cabinet testimony excluded by vote of the
Senate was greatly needed TO complete the Presi-
dents defence fur purposes OF historical reference
The main points bearing upon the case and calcu-
lated to influence decision are embodied In the
Presidents statements. which were admitted as evil
dence but there were specific details which an
fnterlocutory examination would have developed
shat would not only have shown the coincdng tend
cncy OF Mr.. Stanton's opinions but would have re-
vealed the fact that he was an earnest advocate OF
the which the President subsequently adopted
That the substance OF the Cabinet testimony was
well known 10 those members Of the Senate who
voted against Its admission cannot be doubted, and
Il Ii equally certain that considerations as to It's
quality and weight must have determined their
action.
n the main point was to obtain partIzan verdict
BY deprvng the prosecution of ordinary and legal
OF defence, It is now matter OF serious con-
alteration whether such result would not have
been gained at the hazard OF consequences that In
stead OF promoting political advantage might uti-
matey prove to be sacrincial.
The rejected testimony, II each individual member
OF the Cabinet had been placed upon the stand in
cuding Mr.. Stanton himself. would have shown that
the secretary OF war was the nrst anu most earnest

Ing OF the Cabinet called to consider and discuss ts
peculiar provisions. IL would have shown, II ad-
mitted that IN the Cabinet consultation upon this
question there was entire unanimity; that Mr. Stan.
ton was the most positive and emphatic In his
condemnation of all the features OF the bill that
the President by reason Of pressing duties,
requested :he aid of some Of the members In
the preparation of the objections unanimously
agreed upon In consultation; that to Mr.. STAN
ton and Mr.. Seward was assigned the labor Of
preparing the veto message; that Mr.. Stanton
cheerfuly and unreservedy assented to this ar
rangement; but that he requested Mr.. Seward to
write the message, because he was suffering from o
rheumatic affection which made IL dincult and pain
fu for him to labor with his pen, but that he volun-
teered to furnish legal data for the argument and
shat he actually did 80.
II would have shown, furthermore, that while some
OF the members OF the Cabinet in constituting the

A despatch from Charlottesville, Va, dated yester.
day, announced the death Of the gentleman whose
name heads this article. Mr.. Rives was one OF the
few remaining members Of q certain class
of society in Virginia that did much to give
the Old Dominion the prominence she formerly had
in the United States. He was born on the 4th of
May, 1898, in Nelson county, and had consequently
passed his seventyth year at the time Of his death.
After receiving an excellent education at Hampden
Sidney and william and Mary colleges, he engaged
in the study OF law under Jeerson and at the proper
time was admitted to the bar. He does not appear
to have devoted much time to the practice

A DAY or two since, in one
of the trains from Boston, a
quiet individual, sitting by the
stove in one of the passenger
cars, drew forth a bottle and
commenced laving his hands
with the contents. The day
was very cold, and the neigh.
borhood of the stove was crowd,
ed. One old man watched the
bottIe.holder's operation with
great interest, and finally asked
him what kind of stuff he was
using.
"Glycerin," replied the quiet
man.
"Glycerin !-thunder" and
the old man rushed for the
door.
Others caught up the word,
and they all rushed into the adj

rian friend to sooth the chap
ped hands at his leisure.

family was afflicted with an irritation of the
throat, attended with disagreeable cough

preparation, having for ITS basis the inside
bark Of white pine, might be so compounded
as to be very useful in the case Of the throat
and lungs. TO test the value of it in the case
alluded to, compounded small quantity Of
the medicine that had been planning, and
gave II in teaspoonful doses. The result was
exceedingly gratifying. Within two days the
irritation Of the throat was removed, the cough
subsidized, and speedy cure was Effected
Soon after this sent some to lady IN Lon

some weeks from bad cough, oecasioned by
sudden cold, and raised mucus streaked
with blood. She soon found relief, and sent

pupils and wrote down the
questions he would put them
on examination day. The day
arrived, and so did the hope

took their places as had been
arranged, and all went on glib

asked, 'In whom do you be

On Time.

In a neighboring town not
long ago, lived Aunt Keziah,
an Industrious and thriving
widow. She had not only kept
good her estate, but had III
creased it much in value, and
she loved to refer to it as the
"little home poor Daniel had
left her." -1%-f
One day the "income man"
came along and carried off some
of that little boarded treasure,
and she wept as she counted
out the bills on which her part
ner's fingers had once rested
so firmly does the heart cling
to mementoes Of the departed.
A few hours afterwards she
was at the table kneading
bread, evidently thinking Of
the lost one, when her niece
said:
"Aunty, now you're prosper
GUS and we'll to do, let's get
some pretty tombStone's for
good Uncle Daniel-you know
he has none at his grave"
Aunt Keziah held up her
doughy hands and emphasized
this touching expression:
"Jane, if they want anything
of Daniel at the Judgment,
they can find him without a
guide board! l tell you he'll
be there in timer

"Cut A Dido"

1t is told in history that Di,
do, a Queen Of Tyre, about 7S0
B. g., fled from that place upon
the murder Of her husband, and
with a colony settled on the
northern coast of Africa, where
she built Carthage. Being in
want of more land, she bar
gained with the natives for as
much as she could surround
with a bulls hide. Having
made the agreement, she cut a
bulls hide into fine strings, and
tying together, claimed as
much land as she could sur
round with the long line she
had made. The natives al
loowed the cunning Queen to
have her way, but when any
body played off a sharp trick,
they said he had "cut Dido;'
and the phrase has come down
to our day. - 90

GRAY hairs may not mar
ones good looks and in many
cases, even improve the ap-
pearance, but as general rule
are considered Objectionable
and many devices are resorted
to to prevent or get rid Of
them. We know of no mode
so little troublesome or obec-
tionable as the use Of Rings
Vegetable Ambrosia, an article
which of late has become so
immensely popular as a toilet
article and beautifer. 1t is

many cases cures badness,
cleanses the scalp and leaves
the hair in splendid condition
for arranging.

JUDGE GRIFFITH, on the bench
in New York, appointed a crier
whose want of sense was more
than made up by the size OF
his voice. A young barrister,
With more fun than legal lore
in him, was fond of playing of
jokes on him. So one morning
the judge ordered the crier to
call Jabez Logue. The barris-
ter, stepping behind the crier,
whispered "Epilogue," in his
ear.
"Epi-logue!"
"MonoIogue!" said the lawyer.
"Mono-logue!" cried the crier
"Pro-louguel"
And the crier still, cried, "Pro-
logue!" "Dialogue!" at the top
of his voice.
Discouraged at h earin e
no response from the Logue
family, the crier turned and
said to the Court, sitting in
mute astonishment at the stu
pid crier's call.
"Pve called all the Logs il
town, and never one is here to
speak for himself"

Probably never before In the whole history OF

mong most Of the races OF men II has risen

10 milder forms Of disease and TO young chill

Although settled CONSUMPTION Ia thought in
