Busted his Brooches.

When Sam Gary was at about the
middle of his speech at this place, he
tried to be very antic. He jumped up
and down, cracked his fists together,
snorted, and thought he was quite wit
ty, All at once he stopped, told the
drummer to play a little until he stepped
behind the curtain and mendod his
drawers, as he had bursted them.

State Senator.

Let our friends in the other counties
remember that Dr. Monahan can be
elected 10 the State Senate from this
District, ifa united effort be made. If
nor-if we relax our efforts, defeat is
pretty certain. In Jackson county we
will do our full share of the work. Let
our friends in Adams remember that our
county gave their citizen, John T. Will
son, for the same office, 798 majority
over DUNCAN. Let SCiotO remember
that we gave their candidate, George
A. Waller, 800 majority for the same
office. Let our friends in Pike remem.
Der that we gave their candidate, Gen,
Jones, our full majority. We know
you will now reCiproCats. Our candi-
date is very popular man, and can be,
and must be, elected, Up and at them.

DR.. |. T. Monahan does not answer
my questions in regard to his "Medi-
cal Notice." His statements being
somewhat indefinite, / want to know
distinctly what he means. And as I
belong to that class Of sold fogies who
poison the system with mercury and
other poisonous agents." according to
DIR. MOnahan's statement, have the
right to ask, and it is his duty 10 honor
to answer what are the facts or reasons
which may Justify such an assertioni
|. I. NJ. should remember that asser-
tons of this or any other character,
which cannot be supported by facts,
are not in accordance with even the
Eclectic Code of ethicS," as lax as it
is in the of professional honor.

Death Of Senator Fessenden,

Hon. William Pitt Fessenden; q. S.
Senator from Maine, died last week.
Mr.. Fessenden was Secretary Of the
Treasury after Mr. Chase resigned, in
1864. He was again returned to the
U. s. Senate, He was a lawyer of
great ability, and in politics Repub-
lioan. He was one of the few Repub.
lican Senators who spoke and voted for
the acquittal of Andrew johnson in the
great impeachment Trial, in 1868.
Had Mr.. Fessenden died before he COM
mitted that strange, inconsistent and in
explicable act, it would have been far
better for his reputation. But while
some men appear to die too soon, others
live too long.

Paraguav


General Mcmahon, late Minister to paraguay, is il
Washington, and has made an official report of bill
course, which informed, is endorsed by ou
Government Gen. Mcmahon gives different &C
count altogether of the condition of Lopez from tina
which has heretofore been elegaphed the whole
world. As his report is Official it is entitled to more
credence than the reports sent abroard by the allies
He thinks the present position Of Lopez stronger thar
heretofore, and the by the allies of the
war being ended is simply pretext for withdrawing
the invading troops The Paraguayans conduct their
war without money; make their own cannon and pow
der and other hostile appliances; while the women
plant and gather the crops The Uruguayayans scarcely
contributed regiment; the Argentine Confederation
four or five thousand, and the Brazilian twenty-five
twenty-four thousand more. The Paraguayan legion
now guarding in possession of Ascension numbers
about two thousand men. 1t is composed in small
part OF deserers to the allies, with Paraguayan prison
ers of war who have been compelled to enter the
vice, together with equal number of Brazians The
Provisional Government is regarded as insufficient by
all who are familiar with its history and its not PROM
Using stability. Lopez is represented by Gen. Mcmahon
to be possessed of fine administrative Abilities and not
tiioie si"o' IHOSt planning OF the
allied Generals. The devotion of the people to their
chief is without example. They not only obedent
but are always ready to incur any risk or make any
sacrifice which may be demanded by him. Lopez con-
templates the restoration of prosperity to his country
by emigrants from the United States, to whom he will
offer inducements to settle there by the grant of lands
Gen. Mcmahon speaks of Lopez in terms entirely
different from the accounts which have been published |
he represents him a of affable manners, but
most determined in his acts, though many statements
Of atrocities alleged to have been perpetrated by his
orders are wholly without foundation in truth That
ne ordered the execution of his brother is true. but
hat was upon conviction and proracted trial for con-
plracy; and his mother and sister, who are repre-
ented to have been killed by his order are still living
nd his devotion to his mother is all that could be re-
luired of a son.
1t is part of the system of the Allies to permit moth
ns to pass through their lines that will reflect unfa-
oTaby against their cause and they went so far as to
efuse the dispatches from the United States Govern
'ent to Gen. Mcmahon to pass for eight months
When the order for his recall was sent on, that was
ermtted to pass without any delay whatever
