LEMONS for Fever,

When persons are feverish AID
thirsty beyond what is natural, in
dicated in some eases by a metallic
taste in the mouth, especially after
drinking water, or by whitish ap
pearance of the greater part Of the
surface of the tongue, one of the
best coolers internal or external,
is to take q lemon, cut off the top,
sprinkle over it some loaf-sugar,
working it downard into The lemon
with spoon, and then suck it slow
ly, squeezing the lemon and addin g
more sugar as the aeidity increases
from being brought up from lower
point Invalids with feverishncs
may take two Or three lemons day
in this manner with the most mark
ed benefit, manifested by a sense of
GOODNESS, comfort and invigoration.
A lemon or two thus taken at tea
time, as an entire substitute for the
ordinary supper Of summer, would
give many comfortable nights
sleep, and on awakening after rest
an invigoration, with an APPETITE for
b. eakfast to which they are strang
ers who will have their cup of tea
for supper, or "relish' and cake,
and berries, or peaches and cream.

DEATH IN GAMBLING HELLS.
Sudden Death in Faro Bank in
Ann Street.

During the past week there died
suddenly in this city a prominent
politician and a well known sport
ing man. He has a brother now
in the State Senate, and he himself
held lucrative position under the
city government The papers all
published obituaries of him, giving
the particulars OF his death, &c,
but strange to say, none of the ac
counts as to the place of his death
agreed. One said that while visi
ting friend he was suddenly struck
down and died; another. that he
died in his house; another, that he
fell and expired in the street, DC.
The truth respecting this mans
death has been carefully excluded
from the papers, but notwithstand
ing this the facts are we'll known
here. He was an inveterate gan-
bier, and at the time Of his death
he was engaged in gambling at a
faro bank on Broadway. He
was playing heavily and had lost a
good deal Of money. He had just
laid a large amount on a certain
card to win on the last turn, or, in
gambling parlancc, had "called the
turn''-and won. The dealer asked
him to take up his "checks" and
then it was discovered he was dead
Standing with one hand resting on
the shoulder of a friend, also en-
gagged in playing, and the other
full of s'checks," and his eyes fixed
on the "nine spot" of hearts on
which lie had made his last bet
death came upon him, and without
a struggle or even a sigh he died.
SO sudden and so noiseless was his
death, that no one was aware of it
until attention was attracted to him
by the fact of his picking up his
checks when he had won.
The number of persons who have
died suddenly in gambling houses
in this city during the past year
have becl remarkable. At No. II
Ann street is a gambling hell, kept
by man generally known among
the fraternity as "Uncle John" One
night about six months since, a
young man dressed in the height Of
fashion, with gold watch and dia-
mond pins and rings, entered and
began to gamble. He was unlucky
and rapidly lost his money. His
diamond pin was next risked, and
still fortune was against him. Then
he took from his finger ring, a
beautiful solitaire diamond--and
for which he was allowed 800, and
now he won. Fortune seemed to
have changed and was smiling upon
him. Every bet he made he won.
until his ssstack" of "checks" was
larger than that held by the bank:
Suddenly his head dropped forward
on the table, and he was dead. OF
course, Immediately all was confu-
sion and excitement around the

min. and Fitzpatrick. Fortunately
for him, he had finished his theorti-
cal military education just in time
to have a hand in the very first
events of the war He saw his op
portunlty. and sprang forward to
grasp it. AS first lieutenant, with
light battery, he was engaged and
wounded at the first LATHE of Bull
Run; but recovered in time to be in
at the commencement of new oper.
ations, and in command of a battery
he served in the principal actions of
the Peninsular campaign. At the
end of that disastrous chapter OF the
war Ames was made colonel of the
Goth Maine Infantry; and in that
capacity he fought at Antietam in
the Rappahannock campaign. AS
aid-de camp to General Meade he
served at Fredericksburg, and Chan
cellorsville. AS brigadier general
of volunteers he led his brigade at
Gettysburg, and in the succeeding
operations in the South, until April,
1864; after which date, as major
general, in command of a division,
he fought at Petersburg and Cold
Harbor. and in the second expedi-
ton to Fort Fisher he did the real
work which resulted in that victory.
Passing over other actions of the
war, he was in 1886 made Inspector
general of the Fourth Military Dis
trict; and in 1868, by General Nc
Dowell, he was appointed provision
al governor of Mississippi, in place
Of the rebel Gen. Humphreys, re
moved.
On the accession Of Grant to the
Presidency, General Ames was Sc
lected for the difficult work of re-
constructing Mississippi, all previ-
Gus efforts having turned out fail
ures. The complete success which
he has had is simply owing to his
loyalty. his radicalism, his GOODNESS,
his determination, his genius for
governing, and bis rare ability to
discomfit political bullies and blus-
terers, without making the least fuss
about it.
General Ammes will prove an adj
mirable representative of Mississip-
pi. He has lived in the state four
years. He knows every inch Of It's
territory, every phase of its society,
aud every one Of its politicians
He is at once graceful, accomplish
ed, able, and true. We predict for
him career in the Senate which
shall rot stain his record in the field
and in the governors chair.
For ourselves, we do not listen to
the shallow objection that General
Ammes goes into political life from
q military positio on. So did Gen.
Grant. 1t would be preposterous
TO deny to any American citizen free
access to political service. no mat
ter what may have been his profes
sion, so that it be an honorable one.
And there seems an especial fitness
in having high-toned army officers
represent the South in Washington.
Their devotion to the cause in
which they fought is beyond ques
ton; and the knowledge of the bra
very of their former enemies in war
will incline them to justice toward
them in defeat.

GENERAL AND SENATOR AMES

On the restoration Of Mississippi,
says the N. Y. Independent, to her
practical relations in the Union, Il
very young man is to step into the
Senate as one of her representatives,
about whom the mass of the people
may have but little distinct knowl-
edge, but who has already made a
good deal of history, and has done
many things to entitle him to the in
terest and the liking of royal people.
We do not think the public have
taken sufficient notice of recent
events in Mississippi, or have wor-
thily appreciated the great political
victory which has been achieved
there by the national party. A sim
gle example will suffice to. sh ow the
character and magnitude of this vic
tory At the previous election in
that state, before General Ames had
direction of affairs, the Republican
candidates were in minority of
5000; while in the last election,
under eight months of General
Ame's control, the Republican can
didates were in a majority of 40, 900
Many persons have observed that q
great change had come over the face
of Mississippi. Few have known to
whom or to what this great change
is to be attributed. We are able to
show that thequiet, accomplished, self
possessed, unassuming young gen
tleman, who is only just old enough
to be qualified for the senatorial
chair which he is about to take, has
the clear brain and the steady hand
which have wrought this political
marvel.
The exploits of General Butler as
ruler of New Orleans are known, as
they deserve to be, to the Whole
country, but as great genus has
been shown by General Ames in
comprehending a difficult situation,
in mastering the elements Of a tre-
mendous problem, and in dealing eff
fectually with large masses of re-
refractory, interchangeable, and cum
ming opponents. 1t is only owing
to circumstances that equal fame has
not surrounded and followed his
wonderful success.
At this very able young man has
not only one brilliant career behind
him, but another brilliant one before
him, we will mention the leading
facts of his life, in order to put our
readers into better acquaintance,
with him.
The State of Maine can clam him
as her son; and Senator Fessenden,
were he alive, would now rejoice in
the new laurels Of the lad who was
appointed to West Point and ever
afterward cordially befriended by
the discerning kindness of that il
lustrious citizen.

the elder Booth, Kean, Hamblin
and others. Taking him into the
green-room for a private rehearsal,
and finding his limitations excellent
I engaged him. For three nights
he gave great satisfaction, but early
in the fourth evening he staggered
into the Museum so drunk that he
could hardly stand, and in half an
hour he must be on the stage! Call
ing an assistant, we took La Rue
between US, and marched him up
Broadway as far as Chambers
Street, and back to the lower end
of the Park, hoping to sober him.
At this point we put his his head
under pump, and gave him good
! ,ducking, with visible beneficial eff
feet, then a walk around the Park,
and another ducking, he as
sured me tn:at he should be able to
give his limitations ''to charm"
"You drfinken BRUTE" said I, ''if
you fail, and disappoint my audi
ence, I will throw you out q the
window"
He declared that he was call
right and l led him behind the
scenes where [ waited with consid-
erable trepidation to watch his
movements on the stage. He be-
gan by saying:
Ladies' and Gentlemen I will
now give you an imitation of Mr..
Booth, the eminent tragedian.''
His tongue was thick, bis Ian
guage somewhat incoherrnt, and l
had great misgivings as he procee-
ded; but as no token of disapproba-
ton came from the audience, / be-
gan to hope he would go through
with his parts without exciting sus-
picion of his condition But before
he had half finished his representa-
ton Of Booth. in the soliloqny of
Richard I'LL, the house discovered
that he was very drunk, and began
to hiss. This only seemed to stim-
nlate him to make an effort to ap
pear sober, which, as is usual in
such cases, only made matters
worse, and the kissing increased /
lost all patience, and going on the
stage and taking the drunken fellow W
by the collar, 1 apologized to the
audience, assuring them that he
should not appear before them
again. / was about to march him
off, when he stepped to the front
and said:
Ladies and gentlemen Mr.
BootE often appeared on the stage
in state of inebriety, and 1 was
simply giving you a truthful repre-
sentation of him on such occasions.
l beg to be permitted to proceed
with my smitations"
The audience at once supposed it
was all right, and cried out. Ego on,
go on: which he did, and at every
imitation of Booth, whether as
Richard, Shylock, Or Sir Giles
Overreach, he received q hearty
round Of applause. l was quite de-
lighted with his success but when
he came to initiate Forrest, and
Hamblin, necessarily representing
them as drunk also, the audience
could be no longer deluded; the
Kissing was almost deafening, and l
was forced to lead the actor off. 1t

The Lockport papers of Saturday

brother Michael Mccormick. On
entering the saloon, Irving mention
ed his being on time to fulfil his
brag, but said he would improve on
it and drink quart of whisky in
half an hour. The whisky was sent
for to Seely's grocery, near by, and
pitcher was placed before him.
Filling an ordinary beer glass full
twice. Irving drankSit down with
out intermission. After another
pause he filled the glass again and
drank that. This is said to have
completed quart of whisky,a land all
Of it was drunk in much less than
the time agreed upon. After drink
ing the whisky he started for home
and was found lying under rail
road bridge. Irving drank the whis
Ky Wednesday night and lived until

tanned that Irving was dead Michael
Mccormick was arrested on q
