The LimiI Renched

The Presidents friends are delighted
with the reflection that, though a maj
of forbearance, he won't take every,
thing. He has accepted money, houses
horses, carriages, dogs, Havanas, pic,
lures, canes, boots, books and almost
every other known gift out of which
value could be extracted, but the limit
of his patience has al last been reached,
and we cheerfully record his first decli-
nation, the invitation of Ross to "gO to

The Age.

That old and reliable Democratic
journal, the Philadelphia Age, has
donned a new dress. With its neat,
clear type, and superior makeup, it is
now one of the handsomest journals in
the country. 1t is spleudidly edited
and ably managed; hence it has be-
come highly successful in a business
point of view, and eminently inhuen'
tial in its relations with the political
world. 1t affords us pleasure to note
the evidences of its usefulness and
prosperity.

WE clip the following from the Edi-
torial columns of the Leader, Cleveland,
Ohio, one of the most influential papers
of the West.
HoOllnnd's German Bitters.
In calling the attention of our readers
to this valuable preparation, we do so
with full conviction that it is high
ly scientific remedy for Dyspepsia, and
all diseases arising from a disordered
state of the Liver or Stomach. In max.
ing this assertion, we are sustained by
the testimony Of many of the eminent
professional men of the country. Law
yers, physicians, and clergymen, all
bear witness to its great usefulness. 1t
contains no alcoholic stimulant, but is
purely medicinal, being compounded
from the prescription of one of the most
celebrated physicians of his day, and is
well known aud used by the faculty of
the present time. 1t has been before the
public in its present shape for over
twenty years, and during that time has
become "known all over the wsrld.n To
those in need of remedy of this char
acter, we would say procure it at once,
and do not waste your time and money
on the many worthless compounds that
now food the market; and those who are
not in immediate want of it, we would
advise to be prepared to battle with dis
ease by keeping it always in the house.
HooGnud's German Tonic
Combines all the ingredients of the
Bitters with pure Santa Cruz Rum,
orange, anise, &c. 1t is used for the
same diseases as the Bitters, in cases
where Alcoholic Stimulant may be nee
essary. 1t is a preparation of rare
value, and most agreeable to the palate.

will put in operation some
scheme that will put to rest
this vexed and delicate sub
ject.
All the churches of the city
were occupied on yesterday by
members Of the Assembly, and
it is hoped that God will bless
these able and faithful sermons
to the good: of many souls. I
was present at the Govern
ment-Street church morning
and night. At 81 o'cloek
there was meeting of the three
Sunday-schools of the Presby-
terian Church. The body of
the church was filled with chill
dren and visitors, who listened
with oseattention to addresses
from Rev. j. Leighton Wilson,
D. D., Secretary of Sustenta-
ton; Rev E. T. Baird, D. D.. j.,
Secretary of Publication; and
Rev. T. w. Hooper, of Vir-
ginia. At Ii DR.. Robinson
preached one of the grandest
sermons that l ever heard. -
His aim was to show how the
providential pupose of God
rms through all human
affairs, controlling, and gov
erning, and protecting the
Church and the individual
Christian. At A P. M. the
body OF the house was filled
with communicates, and
the sacrament of the Lord s
Supper was administered by
Rev. DR.. Converse, Rev: DR..
Bright of Mississippi, and Rev.
Mr.. Logan Of Kentucky. We
all felt that it was good to be
here.
At night l had the pleasure
OF listening, for the first time
to the Rev. DR.. Girardeau, the
pastor ofthe Zion church (col. y
of Charleston, S. c. 1t was a
fervent, impassioned appeal,
based on Paul's sermon to Fee
Tx, when, as he "reasoned of
righteousness, temperance, and
a Judgment to come, Felix
trembled, and said, go thy way
for this time j; when l have a
convenient season I will call for
thee.'

for the good and welfare of
their State. Such is the posi-
ton which Mr.. Walker occu-
pies. We repeat that there
is a very wide difference
in the claims which the two
candidates present to the peo-
pie, and that the question for
Virginians to decide is whether
they will have the best Consti-
tuition they can hope to get,
with a friend for Governor, or
a bad Constitution, and a Gov
ernor who has no sympathy
for the people over whom he
seeks to obtain such exalted Of
fetal authority. -Lynchburg

Scene ina the &ago of aaa En.
ragged Lion.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
An incident occurred at the
circus, corner of Bourbon and
Orleans streets, which nearly
became tragedy. 1t is we'll
known to our people that Herr
Lingel, the lion-tamer, at the
close Of the performance, enters
the cage Of the lions. For
more than year the lioness
has made a great antipathy to
him; has more than once at
tackled him with savage fero-
city. At Madison, Indiana,
last summer, she came very
near killing him, and as if still
rememb ering the advantage
then obtained, she made a SINH
lar attack, which came near be-
ing fatal. For some time be-
tore entering the dens, they
discovered great uneasiness,
and when the lior.tamer noun
ted the ladder which led into
the cage, the lioness assumed a
position which threatened an
immediate attack.
Undeterred by this manifes-
tation of hostility, the iron
nerved performer threw open
the. door and darted in. For a
moment the scene was thrilling.
The lions seemed mad with
rage, and sprang from one side
Of the cage to the other in APP
parently ungovernable fury.
The lioness was particularly
spiteful, and sprang at him
more than once with open
mouth; but the mesmeric pow
err Of the eye controlled her,
and she as often reiterated into
the further corner Of the cage
growing sullenly. Compel
ing the lions to 60 through
their usual performance, Herr
Iingel was about retreating
from the den, the lioness as if
possessed with sudden fury,
sprang at him, and clutched
his knee in her teeth. The
audience was appalled,. The
shrieks of women mingled with
shouts of men. Everybody ex-
pected to see the man torn limb
from limb. But with admira-
BILE presence of mind he sue
ceeded in releasing the hold of
the animal and retres.ted from
the cage. Although danger
ously wounded his injuries are
such as will not preclude his
seepdy recovery.

The Weaver Bird.

In thse)urse of my rambles,
says Mr.. Steedman, | have seen
several nests Of the loxia, or
weaver bird, which were sus-
pended from the branches OF a
mimosa. tree, and succeeded,
with some difficulty, in obtain
ing them. The singular con-
trivance of this bird in con-
structing its nest for the pro-
lection Of it's young from the at
tacks of reptiles and monkeys,
which abound in the woods, is
surprising. To increase the
difficulty Of access to these tree
rocked cradles, they usually
impend over river or precipice
while the entrance is always
below, and frequently through
a. cylindrical passage of twelve
or fifteen inches in length, pro-
iecting from the spherical nest,
exactly like the tube Of "a chem
ist's retort, The whole fabric
is most ingeniously and ele-
gantly woven of a species of
very tough grass and the won
derful instinct, or foresight, or
whatever else we may choose
to call it, displayed by the lit
tie architect in Its constl uctlon,
is calculated to excite the high
est admiration.
