How One of the Members Of the Cab
met was Appointed.

met was Appointed
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Journal tells the following
story; vrr-.-N
So far as the appointment of Mr..
Cresswell to Cabinet position is con-
cerned, it now appears that General
Grant held no consultation whatever
with him previous to sending IN his
name. Secretary Cresswell tells the
following story in reference to it: l
had a conversation with General Grant
few days before the 4th of March. l
called to see him at the army head
quarters, not on any particular busl-
ness, but merely as a matter of courte-
sy. General Grant was very pleasant,
but he showed me no particularly
marked attention. As l was about to
leave, he called me aside and said:
"Mr. Cresswell, lot me see; what are
your initials-J. N, is it not :" NO."
said l; "John Andrew Jackson Cres-
we'll" General Grant took a pencil
from his pocket and wrote the name in
full on scrap of paper. IL was very
curious" says Mr.. Creswell, "to know
what the General meant, but l did not
ask him. l thought it very strange
that he should be SO solicitOus about
my name, and when l went home |
told my wife all about it," why"
said she, "he is going to give you q Cab
met appointments" l merely laughed
st her reply, which Iregarded as little
pleasantly. But she persisted that Cen
eral Grant meant that and nothing more.
March 5th came, and was standing in
the Office of the Ebbitt House, in this
city. About o'clock one of my friends
struck me on the shoulder, and said
"Cresswell, you have been nominated
Postmaster General This was the first
intimatien had of the Presidents in
tentions, and | was indeed very much
surprised. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the nominations of Mr.. Stew
art and Mr.. Hoar were to these gentle
men the most complete surprises. Mr..
Stewards manner in the room of the
Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, where
ne was when his name was announced as
Secretary of the Treasury, impressed
those who were present with this belief.
Mr.. Cresswell was not thought of for
any position until about the last mo-
ment. 1t was quite evident that some
one was to be taken from the Southern
States, Aware of this fact, the politi-
clans went to work. AS name after
name was mentioned, the war began.
Before the 4th of March came there was
hardly a man south of Mason and Dix
on's line, whose appointment was not
put out of the question owing to the
assaults made on him from one quarter
or another. Mr.. Cresswell was almost
the only prominent man left, aud him
the President decided to invite to his
Cabinet at the eleventh hour.

From the Baltimore SUM-
Con,,un;tx Iyitbouf Inv

We gave some account few days
since, from a Petersburg (Na.) paper, of
a father (Mr. A. B. Bradshaw, of Lunen
burg killing his son, young man
twenty-five years of age, by shooting
him, as the son left the house, on ac-
count of some dispute at the breakfast
table 1t was added that no arrest had
been mac, as, on account of the recent
removals under Congressional law, there
was no officer in the county authorized
to make an arrest. General StOncman,
the military commander, was tele-
graphed to in regard to the course to
DO pursued, or to appoint some ouc to
act under the law. His reply was as
follows:
"RICHMoND, VA, March %, 1869.
"TO p. N. HdtCheU:
"The people must act as they may
think the circumstances demand.
GEORGE STONEMAN,
"Brevet Major General"
Thus it is that reconstruction has
brought the people of portion of the
Old Dominion clean back to the state
of nature. Now if General Stoneman
could only give the people OF all Nir-
ginia the permission he has extended to
those of Lunenburg-to act towards all
wrongdoers "as they may think the cir
cumstances demand"-there would be
about as refreshing an exhibition of
retributive justice, untrammeled by le-
gal technicalities and delays, as the
world ever seen.
What reflection is suggested by
this order of General Stoneman! In this
nineteenth century, in the land which
claims to be the most civilized. in the
State on which the seeds of civilization
In the western world were first planted,
and among most law respecting peo-
| pie, the legislation of Congress has
stripped the people of the means ofpun-
| iShing the most horrible crimes, and the
amazed and confouuded inhabitants.
not knowing what to do, appeal to the
military commander, who can only tell
them, in substance, they must do that
which is right in their own eyes-that
which they would do if there never had
been such o thing as law or human So
ciety! Happily there is reason to be-
lieve the people of Virginia may be
trusted to do the best that is possible
under such circumstances, but no people
ought to be subjected to such trial.

cred are very unhealthy, and persons
are advised to sleep before dinner, so as
to rest, refresh, and prepare the system
for vigorous digestion. But if sleep
must be had after dinner, it should be
taken in a sitting posture. The tor
pidity which results from partaking of
hearty meal arises from over loading
the stomach, and the rule which enjoins
rising from the table before the appetite
is entirely satisfied will prevent any
disagreeble consequences.

One of the negro prisoners confined
in the Kansas City Jail made a boast
that he could break any wooden door in
the Jail with his head. Some of his au.
dience doubted the statement, SO he
took a run along the hall and threw
himself head foremost against the door.
Unfortunately the door was too steut
for him, and he fell like dead man.
The last heard OF him, he had a stiff
neck and was under a physicians

4 YER'S SARSAPARILLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE ooD.

The reputation this excellent medicine ENJOYS
is derived from its cures many of which are truly
marvellous, lnveterate cases of Scrofulous dis
case, where the system seemed saturated with
corruption, havo been purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were
aggravated by the scroful0us contamination until
they were painfully affecting, have been radical
ly cured in such great numbers in almost every
section of the country, that the public scarcely
need to be informed of its virtues uses.
Scrofulods poison is one OF the most destructive
enemies OF our race Often, this unseen and un-
felt tenant of the organism undermines the con-
stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, ii seems to breed infection
throughout the body and then. on some fayora-
bic occasion, rapidly develops into one or other of
its hideoas torms either on the surface or among
the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be sud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tnmors
formed IN the liver, o. it shows its presence by
ruptions on the skin, or foul alterations on some
part OF the body. Hence the occasional use of a
bottle Of this Sarsaparila is advisable, even when
no active symptoms of disease appear Persons
afflicted with the following complaints generally
lind Immediate relief, and, at length cure, by the
use OF this Sarsaparilla st. Anthony Fire, Rose
or Erysipelas, letter, Salt Rheum, ScaId Head

in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Drop
sy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy Neuralgia and
the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular
and nervous systems
Syphilis or Venereal and Mercural Diseases are
cured by it, though long time is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medi-
cine. But long continued use of this medicine
viii cure the complaint Leueorrhoea or W ,ites
Uterine Ulcerations and Female Diseases are
commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by
lis purifying and invigorating effect Minute Di-
recdons for each case are found in our Almanac

caused oy accommodations of extraneous matters in
the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Com
plants, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver, aud Jaundoe, when arising, as they of

THIS sSARsAPAkILLA IS a great restorer for the
strength and yigor of the system. Those who are
Languid and Listless, Despondent, Sleepless, and
troubled with Nervous Apprehensions or Fears,
or any the affections symptomatc of Weakness,
will find immediate relief and convincing eyi.

4 YER'S CATHARTIC PILLS,
"a
For all the purposes of Laxative Medicine

N
For all the purposes of Laxative Medicine.
Perhaps no one Medicine is SO universally re-
quired by every body a cathartic, nor was ever
any before so universally adopted into use, in ev
cry country and among all classes, this mild
but efficient purgatiVe Pill. The obvious reason
is, that it is reliable and far more efTectual
remedy than any other. Those who have tried it,
know that it cured them; those who have not,
know that it cures their neighbors and friends
aud all know that what ii does il does always
that it never fails through any fault or neglect
of its composition We have thousands upon thou
sands Of certificates of their remarkable cures Of
the following complaints but such cures are known
IN every neighborhood, and we need not publish
them Adapted to all ages and conditions in all
climates containing neither caiomel or any dele
terious drug, they may be taken with safety by
anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ev
er fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while
being purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal yiscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy aetion-remoye the distractions Of
the stomach, bowels liver, and other organs Of ths
body, restoring their irregular action to health
and by correcting, wherever they exist, such
arrangements as are the first origin Of disease.
Minute directions are given IN the wrapper on
the box for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIsTLEssyEss,
LANGUoR and Loss of Appetite, they should be
taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and
restore its healthy tone and action.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and its various symptoms,
BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE JAUNDIcE
or Green SICKNESS, Bilious Collie and Bilious Fe-
vers, they should be jadieiously taken for each
case, to correct the diseased action remove the
obstructons which cause it.
For DYsRsTERY or DIARRHGA, but one mild
dose is generally required
For RHEUMATISM, G0UF. GRAVEL, PALPITATIoE
OF THE HEART, PAIN IN THE SIDE, BACK and
LoINs, they should be continuously taken as re-
quired, to change the diseased action of the sys-
tenn With such change those complaints disap
pear.
For DROPsY and DRoPsICAL SwELLISGs they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to
produce the effect Of drastic purge.
For SUPPRESSION large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a DINNER PILL, take one or two pills TO pro-
mote digestion and relieve the stomach
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad-
vantageOus where no serious arrangement exists
One who feels toeraby well, often finds that dose
Of these Pills makes him feel decidedly better
from their cleansing and renOYating effect on the
digestive apparatus.
