: THAT THERE Is MUCH VIRTUE IN AN sIF"
has been prominently illustrated by recent
occurrences in Washington. 1t is alleged that
President Grant has declared that ''if' no
were not President of the United States he
would hold Senator Sumner responsible for
certain things; Colonel Babcock, of the Pre-
sident's staff, says ''if" he were not 50 nearly
related to the President he would "dax out"
Sumner d la Brooks. Senator Sumner says
cir the statement which has created all this
rumpus was likely TO be confined to the news
paper in which he found it he would treat it
with contempt. Therefore the remark Of
Shakespeare, that there is much virtue in an

personal quarrel between great men about

Depth. at,sssg
The ca!sson or foundation Of the tower OF the East
river bridge on the Brooklyn shore has been sent

The announcement Of the fact was made by the
superintendent OF the work, Mr.. w. o. Kingsley yes

close intervals In the chambers OF the structure.
Each OF these piers Is four feet square, and they
built to within two feet OF the roof Of the chambers

eighteen inches per week. The filling OF tho cavity

ROBBERY OF JEWELS has not only become
common practice, but science. The last sue
cessful attempt In this way was that Of o re-
spectacle looking old gentleman, crying
"Whoa - TO his horse, while he was filling his
pockets with jewels in the presence Of the inno-
cent storekeeper, who thought that gentle
man with horse and buggy at the door and
full wallet to show could not be o thief But
that was just where the tradesman was at
fault, because the horse and buggy were q trap
and the wallet contained only worthless money.
But the Jewels were gone. The moral Of this
story Is that storekeepers should be more on
THAR GUARD ct this holiday season.

A LESSON WORTH LEARNING was conveyed
by the mode in which the crowd Of people as
sembled ia Association Hall to hear Ralph
Waldo Emerson made their escape from the
burning building. The GOODNESS with which
the audience, numbering about thousand
people, got clear withsut damage to any one
shows that a panic, with all its terrible
calamities, in case of accidents Of this kind,
can be avoided if people will only exercise a
little common sense, and, above all things, will
keep COOL

Tho Occupation Of Tours.

The report comes that this city, 80 recently
the capital Of France, has been occupied by
the Prussians without opposition. The story
is probably true; for some time ago we heard
that force under Prince Frederick Charles
was in Its immediate neighborhood, and that
Gambetta did not intend to hold it longer than
was necessary to secure the retreat Of General
Chauzy westward. y is encouraging to k99N

How THINGS ARE DONE "QuIETLY" IN
GEORGIA. dispatches In regard to the
election in Georgia are very amusing as well
as instructive. In one despatch we are in
formed that ''the election is progressing
quietly" that "there is no disturbance in
another that ''the military have been called
out to suppress negro riot;" in another that
"a white man has been arrested for melting
negroes TO vote illegally;" in another that
'sthree election managers have been arrested
and imprisoned for receiving illegal votes,
and finally that ''Judge Linton. Stephens,
brother Of the well known Alexander H., has
knocked down DR.. Brown in personal
alteration" II this Is the way the Georgians
have of conducting things ''quietly" they GER
tainly have lively method of showing it.

The democrats are playing fast and loose
upon all these questions now. But how did
they elect Polk in 1871? On tho cry OF
''Texas and Oregon-ifty- -four forty or fight,
though we had no more title to Oregon above
the line Of forty-nine than We have to the
Fiji Islands. Desperate cases, however, call
for desperate measures. Everything else fail
ing, the democrats In 1914 took up Texas and
Oregon Fad lad now having F Fua out the niger,
the administration must get up something LIKE
Texas Or Oregon Or = Rhine frontier move
ment, or the republican party will Ego to
grass" The Alabama claims covering
Canada viii do. We cannot navigate the ST.
Lawrence without those canals, and the best
fishing Of Nova Scotia aud all those regions
is within those three miles from the shore
where General Buffers and Mr.. Summers
constituents cannot now go. They have to
fish outside, and, according to General Grant
himself, those New Dominion provincials are
getting very impertinent Try Sumner on
this tack and you flank him.
At all events, as the republican party is
breaking up, the administration must do some
thing to bring IL together again, or the admin
istration and the party are gone-Grant,
Schenck, Butler, Sumner and all. AS for
Schurz, he can take care of himself. Look
ing at these party troubles and bubbles we
con, ofi,voe fninl, that GanaraI Grant baa tho
game in his hands anyhow, sometimes that his
enemies will drive him to the river as they
did at Shiloh and that his reserves will not
come up; sometimes that we shah have in
1872 fearful scrub race; aud these late
scenes in the Senate go very lar to strengthen
rs 10 this opinion. AS Congress seems at last
to have sur(eit of niggers we know of no
better experiment for General Grant than q
bold push on those Alabama claims.

The Responsibilities of the
Liver.

The liver has very important part to perform
in the animal economy. Its function is two
fold. The fluid which it secretes tempers the
blood and regulates the bowels, and upon the
quantity and quality OF the secretion depends,
in a great degree, the adaptation OF the blood to
the requirements of the system and the due
removal of the refuse matter VIII h remains in
the intestiues after the work of digestion has
been accomplished.
One of the principal uses of Hostetters
Stomach BitteIs is to tone and control this
somewhat unruly organ. The antibilious prop.
critics of the preparation are scarcely secondary
70 its virtues as a stomachic. Its operation
unon the liver is not violent like that of mer.
curry, but gradual and gentle. Instead of Gre
ating n sudden tumult in that sensitive gland,
il re- ulates its action by degrees. Hence, it is
safe remedy for bilious disorders, while mercury,
being tremendous eTcitant, is not. The more
naturally and quietly a diseased organ can be
restored TO its normal condition the better, and
il is the peculiar property of this ha, mlesS veg
etable Alternative to reinforce and regulate with.
out exciting and COnvu,sing.
The success which has attended its use as a
remedy for affections Of the liver is proverbial

where every on was in confusion and

The next morning he was pronounced
to be out OF immediate danger, though
he continued speechless, and seemed
scarcely conscious Of our presence. by
dint of persevering entreaty, my moth el
persuaded me to go and lie down, when

which usually follows it.
When the hour for making up the

office, and made some slight inquiries a:
to how the clerks had managed the WORK
