A Worse than Darwinian View of Dis.
tinguished Family.

The Cincinnati Enquirer REEVES the
following interesting historical recol-
lections, in connection with the report
that Prince Arthur had sought the
hand in marriage Cf Lady Rosamond
Churchill
And from whom has Lady Churchill
descended, nov deemed worthy an al
lance with the son of the Monarch OF
Great Britain Two hundred years
ago, in the days of the merry and dis
solute Charles H., among his many con
quests over virtue and innocence was
that of girl subsequently, made Ouch
ess of Cleveland, who became his es-
tablished, and, for a time, favorite mis-
tress. Out of the wages of her iniquity
and protligacy she gave an annuity to
her brother, John Churchill, with
which he purchased an ensignship in
the Guards. The historian Macauly,
IN speaking of Churchills marriage to
Sarah Jennings, says:
He (ChurchilD must have been
enamored indeed For he had little
property, except the annuity which he
had bought with the Infamous wages
bestowed on him by the Duchess of
Cleveland. He was insatiate Of riches
Sarah was poor, and plain girl with a
large fortune was proposed to him
His love, after a struggle, prevailed
over his ayarice.
\
''In worldly sense, the fidelity of
Churchill's love was amply rewarded.
His bride, though studiously patient,
n he, Il nh
ciously employed, made HIM at length
a Duke of England, Prince of the
Empire, the Captain General OF a great
coalition, the arbiter between mighty
princes, and, what he valued most, the
wealthiest subject in Europe"
That dowry thus alluded TO was the
friendship which his wife had formed
with the Princess (soon to be Queen
Anne, and by which the greatest
preferments were given to the Church
III family. 1t was by this start thus
given by a courtesan, that John
Churchill was enabled to enter upon
that splendid career which gave him
the first place in the military annals of
Great Britain, and enabled him to
found family with which Il scion of
the royal house is anxious to conclude
an alliance. The Duchess of Narlbo-
rough was great character After
the death of her husband, her hand
was asked in marriage by one OF the
richest and most respectable of the
English nobility. Her answer was a:
No one can ever share the heart or
have the hand that was once the prop
erty of John Churchill, Duke Of Mari
borough"

Medical Mistakes

1t took the faculty about thousand years to DIS
cover that the best way to cure disease was not to
render the patient too weak to ccctend with it.
Within the last twenty years, however, the whole
system of medical practice has been changed for the
better In diseases or complaints caused by Excess
siye heat for instance the doctors longer recon-
mend the reduction of the nyalid's strength by
prostratipg medicines. The vast success which has
attended the use of Hosetters Stomach Bitters as
remedy for debility, has given even the most preJu-
diced members of the old school insight into the
only true and rational theory of Cantharides,
calomel and overpowering doses of opium, are now
among the obsolete nostrums of another age The
lancet once as much the legitimate weapon OF the
physician as the sword is of the soldier, is seldom
drawn from its case. The principle OF life Is no
longer drained from the veins by the quart, and
water Cruel for the strengthess invalid has ceased
to be considered an appropriate diet Vigor is the
motto of the rational members of the profession, and
they understand last the value of sterling vege-
table tonic So Also with the people at large; and
without consulting medical men at all, they have
adopted the bitters household remedy, thereby
economsing both cash and health.

More About FORESTER, the Alleged nur-
0cEer OF Nathan.
A reporter of the New York Sun, in
pursuit of information in regard to the
alleged arrest Of Forester, interviewed
ii. w. Davies, Esq, Superintendent OF
Plnkerton's Detective Agency i'll New
York. That official simply reiterated
what has already been said about the
matter. Forester has not been arrest
ed, has not been in Scotland, and is he
heved by Mr. Davies to be still in the
United States. Mr.. Pinkerton simply
went to Scotland for his health. The
following dispatch, copied by the Sun
reporter, is new:
CHICAGO, Aug. 3, 1871.
TO ii. W. Davis, sc Exchange Place:
The New York Times of this morn
ing says that | have been following
Forester TO Scotland, but failed to find
HIM. This will look strange to Supt.
kelso. 1t is an untruth from begin
ming to end. See Mr.. Kelso, and then
publish a declaration over nv name.
Say, in conclusion, that I want Forces
Ell. and shall have him if he is on the
face ofthe earth. VIII first give him to
Supt. Kelso as the murderer of Nathan.
and then, if not convicted, return him
to the Illinois penitentiary, where he
belongs. Let me know what You say
and do. ALLAN PINKERToN.
Forester's hiding place is unknown,
to his wife. 1t is known to but three
thieves, all of whom have been spotted
by the detectives. The Sun recapitu-
lates the circumstances that fixed the
guilt of the Nathan murder with tolera
bic certainty on Forester, and closes
expressing the opinion that he Will soon
be on trial in New York for his crime.

The Poisoning Of Hotel Guests in AtlaH-
tie tity.

The Philadelphia Post insists that the
poisoning of over fifty persons at the
Alahambra Hotel, Atlantic City, n. j.,
was not caused by the revengefuI act of
a discharged cook, but was the result
OF the ignorance of one who, preparing
the desert, used an overdose of the oil
of almonds. The correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Inquirer also writes:
That poison ltrked in the tioating-
island pudding is proved by the fact
that all who eat of it, and only those,
fell sick. What the particular poison
was, or how it was introduced, is yet a
mystery to the public, and it is not
easy to learn even what the hotel peO-
pie or those others most nearly interest
ed know on these points. On good au-
thOritv, however, 1t Is stated tina some
of the pudding has been forwarded to
Philadelphia for analysis. From what
should be reliable sources, your CORE
