True Marriage.

l believe there are few thought
full men who have not come to re-
gard as one Of the least explicabls
among the great riddles of the
earthly economy the rarity Of
well-assorted marriages. Itmight
be so different, one cannot help
thinking. The adaptations for

ments of happiness so manifold
and so rich Yet how Often
how miserably sometimes-it all
miscarries ! The waters of Para

ness-the gifts of Heaven per-
verted 10 curses upon earth!
l do not mean that there are
few unions yielding reasonable
comfort, friendly relations, life
free from open>quarrel or secret
heart burning, but l speak Of
very marriages, without flaw or
jar--a mating alike of the ma.
terial, with its. intangible af6nities
and it's wondrous magnetism, and
Of the immaterial principle with
in..that survives the death-change.
I speak of q heart-ho pervaded
by harmony not only unbroken-
immutable as that of the spheres;
felt to be so by those whom it
blesses, calms, satisfies; a social
state to which, when man and
woman attain, there remains
nothing in the way Of earthly
need or acquisition, save daily
bread, to be coveted Or prayed
for.
Some think that, in this trial.
phase Of our existence, no such
state of harmony and happiness is
to be found. Among the few who
do find it none of these skeptics
will have place. No entrance in
TO that temple except for those
who believel Without faith in
the Good and Beautiful-the Good
that is felt, not seen; the Beautiful
that must be conceived before it
is realized-a man is shut out

ball is in seven sections, with six

CARL sCHURZ.

The nomination Of Gen. Carl Schulz
by the Republican caucus of the Mis-.
souri, Legislature as candidate for the U.
S. Senate, gives unqualified satisfaction
throughout the whole [country. The OPP
position to him was of the most bitter and
determined character; even Senator Drake
left his duties at Washington to aid in
Schurz' s defeat, bet, like the dog which
had called his friends together to see him

first roar Of the King Of beasts, ran yelp-
ing to his kennel, Drake found one day
of the contest enough for him, and took
the lightning express for Washington.
The test vote showed 60 for Schurz and
40 for Loan. After this vote was taken
his enemies raised a question of his eligi-
bility, making it necessary to prove that
he had been nine years citizen of
the United States, which he is abundant
" able 10 do. In Carl Schurz Missouri
will have worthy successor of Benton,
and such pigmies as Drake and Hender-
son will sink into oblivion in the gulf be-
tween them.

which has greatly aided me in the dis

source of lifelong qualification.
We have been blessed, as q people,
far beyond the average of mankind, and
as state have been prospered to a
wonderful degree. Steeled to all sense
of gratitude must be the heart Of that
citizen who does not sincerely thank
the Father Of the Universe for the rich
gifts He has bestowed upon US. Let us
so live as to merit the continuance of
divine favor. To His care, and the
guidance of His wisdom, I commend
you in the performance Of your duties
as Legislators and citizens, fervently
praying that in the future, as in the

THE TENURE OF OFFICE BILL.

The House of Repre- sentatives has voted
to repeal the Tenure of Office Bill We
fail to see the wisdom of this course,
especially at this time. To say the least,
it gives the appearance of special legis-
lation to the whole affair which of course.
should be avoided. It is true that it was
because of Andy Johnson's conduct that
the Act was called into existence. but, as
it is within the provisions of the Consti-
tuition, let it stand. It had beneficial
influence liz Johnson's case-it will do no
harm in Grants, There will doubtless
be no conflict between Grant and the
Senate, in regard to appointments,
but we consider it a good general princi-
pie that the Senate which has a voice in
confirming the appointments of officials,
should also be consulted in their remoY-
al To our mind, Eldredge who voted
against the original bill and now votes
for its repeal, is far more consistent than
those Republican members from this
State who vote for it, -

EIuberant Health

Is a blessing vouchsafed to few Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong.
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to ne
elect the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed, as rule,
the more healthy and robust man is, the more
ibe1ties he is inclined to take with his own
physique. 1t is some consolation to the natu-
rally weak and feeble to know that they can
be so nvigorated and built up, by proper use
of the means which science has placed at their
disposal, as to have a much better chance Of
long life and exemptions from disease and pain,
than the most athletic of their fellows who are
foolish enough tosuppose themselves inTulnera-
BILE; and act accordingly.
1t is not too much to say that more than half
the people of the civilized world need an occa-
sionaJ tonic, to enable them to support the strain
upon their bodies and minds, which the fast
life of this restless age occasions. In fact, q
pure, aoholesome, une1citing tonic is the grand
desideratum of the busy millions, and they have
the article in HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS. 1t is a sTAMINAL MEDICINE, .. e. it i'm
parts permanent strength to weak systems and
invigorates delicate constitutions. Its reputa-
ton and its sales have steadily increased
Competitive preparations have been introduced,
ad lbatam, and, as far as tn public is con-
cerned, ad 1aduSeum, Ia the hope OF rlvaling 1t;
but they have all either persisted in the at
tempt, or been left far in the rear. 1t has been
the GREAT MEDICAL SUCCESS OF THE PRESENT CEN
FURY, and it is quite certain that no proprietary
medicine in this country is as widely known,
or as generally used.
Ten lightning presses, running necessarily
Sundays excepted,) the whole year through,

1HE SPEAKER.-We know of no one
who really objected to the reelection of
Mr.. Thompson as speaker, except on the
ground that his election would be consid-
cred as a victory by the Carpenter men.
As soon as the members of the assembly
were satisfedupon this point they favored
his election with great unanimity. Mr..
Thompson's speech upon taking the chair
is model of its kind.

There are fancy dishes made for eggs,
They are chicken imitation,

eThe remarkable unanimity with
which the Democratic press of the coun-
try hail the escape of J Ohm H. Surratt from
justice, the veneration shown by the same
press for the mother of Surratt because
she was hung for the assassination of the
President, and the activity shown by Dem
ocratic Congressman in favor of the re-
lease of Mudd and the other assassination
conspirators, now serving their terms of
sentence at Dry Tortugas, are noteworthy
signs of the times. They indicate, in a
manner not to be lost sight of by the
present observer or the future historian,
where the sympathies of the Democratic
leaders tended in the struggle of the Gov
ernmeut against traitors. More than
this, they vindicate the logical consisten-
cy of the spurious DEMOCRACY in adhering
to their errors regardless of the lapse OF

In our last issue we said that we prob
ably should be able to give some definite
news in regard to the Senatorial contest,
but we are unable to offer anything more
conclusive than the following from the
State Journal of Monday evening:
There is nothing new in the Senatorial
contest to-day. Gen. Washburn's friends
claim that he is long way ahead: Mr..
Carpenters supporters express, great conf
dence in his success. The friends of the
other candidates allege that the two lead
ing candidates are claiming more votes
than they are sure of by considerable
number. A few ballots are needed to
give a definite indication of the result.

PRIZE DECLARATIONS.

1t is customary at most Colleges and

exhibitions at which one of the exercises
consists of prize defamation. In this
exercise the Freshmen and Sophmores
are expected to "soar aloft' for the spec

The "proft" consists mostly of reward
to be adjudged to the person who sue

graceful curves, posturing most elegant

in imitation of this custom We suppose,
that the Legislature invited the Senator

If such an Office of "Chief Stump Ora
tori existed, the plan proposed would be
sensible and consistent at his election
but in chosing candidate for the United
States Senate, deliberative body, which
places light estimate on mere oratory,
and which has numbered among its most
efficient and leading members, such men
as Jefferson and Madison, who scarcely
ever rose even to offer resolution, the
programme seems to us wholly out Of
place, and unworthy the dignity of the
Legislature. If the members of that
honorable body are not qualified to choose
Senator from the many candidates by
Judging of their qualifications from their
past records, we are inclined to think they
will be far more apt to be misled than
benefited by the oratorical display pro-
posed.

Madison to lobby in the Senatorial ques-

have wit enough to decide this question
on It's merits and without considering
