of using strong terms. He will do moth
ing he deems TO be wrong for friend or
party; and although strong and trust
worthy partisan, he is yet too noble to
oppose just proposition because it
comes from an opponent. There is
something of the old Roman in Thur
mans character, which commands uni
versal respect, and his ability stands
out like a burning light against the sky.
As a debater, he has no equal in the
Senate, certainly not on the Democratic
side, and as reasoner he is Just, logi-
cal and correct. As a lawyer, he is pre-
else, judicious, critical and exacting, yet
broad and liberal when it is safe to be
so. AS a constitutional lawyer, he
is without peer. He was the only man
to take Hendricks place, but he is ADLER,
clearer, more courageous, less sensitive,
and more effective. The party would be
weak, indeed, in the Senate at this time
without him. He is regarded by the Re-
publicans on the floor as the ablest Dem
ocrat in the country; and the opinion
may not be worth much, but it is freely
given, that the Democrats can better
afford to lose the field with such a leader
than hazard the present, and endanger
the future by looking for q man who
knows nothing, represents nothing, and
amounts to nothing, justbecause he has
done so little in the great battle of life
that he has made no enemies and no
mistakes.

who are the Most Available Candi'
dates of the Democracy.


A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, after hrst dis
cnssing the merits Of Chase, Hancock,
Hoffman and Sherman, thus refers to
Hendricks and Thurman Looking
over the entire ground, can the Demo
Gratis find a better man than ex-senator
Hendricks, Of Indiana2 | might men
ton Pendleton, but he is out of the way
absolutely. Hendricks, in Congress,
showed more fitness for leadership than
any man they have had there for years
and years. He was not an explosive
man in Congress, as many of their lead
ers have been, but he was persuasive and
convincing. He had fashion of pre-
senting anything in such clear, fair
light, and Of excusing, defending and
CLOSING over the errors of his party
that you could scarcely listen to
him without being convinced, know
ing all the time that he was
merely blowing, as the engine boys
say. He has never done anything with
out deliberation; and without any posi-
tive knowledge on the subject, l suppose
his past is without any blemish He has
taken pains to make himself popular,
and he has succeeded. Whoever has
seen Hendricks likes him. ! was with
him when he made his trip to the Pacific
coast, and know with what enthusiasm
he was received by the people along the
way. If he spoke, the people praised
the sweetness of his voice and the gentle
ness of his manners. Yet he spoke the
truth about his opponents, and made
strong and vigorous arguments in favor
.of his own party. COlfax was on the
Pacific slope at the same time, and the
slopers must have thought that Indiana
presented the sweetest and best men in
the world. Credulous slopers, you do
not know them all
There is one man even better than
Hendricks. | have kept his name till
the last as a sort Of desert to this dreary
and ill-served feast. His comes in Just
where the champagne and speeches do
at a big dinner. His name is at the top
of this paragraph, and he is the only
Democratin the party Il had better except
Hendricks) that is fit to be president.
He is a different man from Hendricks.
While he has the vanity that belongs to
every honest man, he nevertheless des-
pises the clap-trap and humbug by
which it is so often gratified in the poll
tician. He does nothing for policy
and If there is a man in the world who
abhors, coutemns and pities the little
arts which men employ TO get little
fame or notOriety, it is he. He IS not a
pretender in any sense. He does not
speak unless he has something TO say,
and never has anything to say unless
there is some chance of correcting mis-
apprehension, afording information,
exposing false reasoning, or denouncing
dishonesty or trickery. He does not care
whether there is one man in the Sen
ate gallery or one thOusand-he speaks
for the Senate. He does not miRce
matters when he is defending any mea-
sure or exposing errors. de does not
study how best he may say a thing to
prevent offense. He speaks out boldly,
calls things by their right names, and
does not higgle and lament the necessity

l.. WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY II. 1871.

The Helena (Arkansas) Gazette tells
a story of a young man of that city who
spent few months in st. Louis last
winter. 1t says that one cold day he
walked into the Southern Hotel, and
looking in vein for stove, asked the
clerk if there was no place where he
could warm himself. The clerk, smiling
urbanely, escorted the Colonel to regis
ter, and told him to stand on the CRATE
and he would soon get warm, The
Colonel was much pleased Later in the
day, becoming rather chilly, he espied a
coal-grate in the sidewalk. Here, he
thought, was another heater" and he
would improve the opportunity by warm
ing his feet. A few minutes later q
passer-by heard him calculate: These
things may do very well for hotel, but
they amt worth a d-n to warm the
city"
In Iowa City, prospective child was
pledged to creditor to cancel debt,
should the offspring be boy. The baby
proved to be boy, and the creditor de-
mands him on contract. The mother
refuses, and the creditor proposes to
bring suit for the child.
After having had consumption nearly
all his life, George NJ Ellis, of Chester

ninety-two. Before he was twenty his
physician assured him that he could not

A man in Bowling Green, KY, has
trained his dog to carry bank note to

whenever the dog is hungry ne picks up
a piece of paper and runs with it to the

Gray walls keep otf treckles.
A handsome widow has three nuptial
chances to a maiden's one.
Gray and brown are the two most
fashionable colors worn this season.
A new color, called blue green or pea
cock green, is very fashionable for bon
nets and costumes this season.
Tight lacing is said to have one ad-
vantage though it shortens life-it suf-

1t is said that there is no friendship
between women so strong that one good

Many ladies give as an excuse for
marrying for money that they seldom
find anything else i'll man nowadays
worth having.
A cynical Frenchman says there are
always two parties in a love affair; the
one who loves, and the one who consents
to be so treated "At
There are stylish yonng ladies whose
agony would be entirely OF another
kind if they were obliged to learn their
graceful bend over a wash-tub.
Parasols are made so large this sea-
son, and with such immense and clumsy
handles, that many diminutive ladies

Since the wind bloweth where it listeth
ladies have reconsidered the matter of
hoops, and have decided that small
hoop is great protection on windy

The olden-time bonnets we're worn so
large that one had to peep under to see
the face; nowadays you see the face,
and find some difficulty in discovering
the bonnet.
Ladies have adopted the Pompadour
style of wearing a small piece of black
court plaster, or mouche," as it is
called, on the cheek or in the middle OF
the forehead.
Long trailing dresses are only worn in
the streets by retired dressmakers and
shoddyites, as no real lady would care to
carry such load of filth about her from
the dirty streets. W
Two of the most successful and best
paid editors in New York are women
Miss Mary l.. Bsoth, Of the Bazaar, who
receives $4,000 year, and Miss Mary z.
Dodge, OF the Hearth and Home, who

We are sorry to see a growing ten
dency toward sharp speeches and sar-
castle. repartee among ladies. Ladies
ale too often tempted beyond the limits
of good sense and good feeling by their
desire to say a good thing.
Pride in woman destroys all symmetry
and grace; and ahectation is more ter
rible enemy to the face than the small
pox. A vain, lazy woman is fit asso-
ciate for eoxcombs and fools, the disgust
of sensible men, burden upon society
and the body polite, and seatters thorns
in her own path.
Fashion, in the midst of her many
eccentricities, has revived the high shell
comb of our grandmothers Gold buckles
have also appeared; and as waists are
rapidly growing shorter and more decol-
lette, we shall probably soon see the
styles of Recamier and the toilets of the
First Empire the fayorite styles.

People will die Notwithstanding a
multitude of doctors. The Gold Hill
News gives a striking illustration of this
fact as follows:
Poor Hinkler, who died last week,
had only FIVE doctors to attend him.
They each doctored him for different
disease, and he was only sick a week,
One doctored MIN for consumption, one
for pneumonia, one for asthmatic
diarrhea, another for chronic inaama-
tory bronchitis, and the last one went
in on general principles against a for
midable combination Of all these dis
eases, crossed with several other unde-.
fined ones, and the last dose he ordered
from the drug store, which was a tea
cupful Of ammonia, laudanum, sulphuric
acid. tincture Of cantharides and rhy
whisky, equal parts mixed, arrived just
ten minutes too late. Hinkler was dead. D

Clark Mills visited General Grant
lately for the purpose of getting from
him an authentic account of the par
ticuIars attending the surrender Of
General Lee, to aid him in his pro-
posed work of the representation OF
that event in relief for his monument,
On this point the President said Lee
came in with a flag Of truce to see
on what terms we would receive his
surrender ] stated the terms, and
Lee said "Plca,e reduce that to
writing took some manifold pa
per and made several copies, and
handed one to him, saying, There, !
believe that is about as | talked.
Lee read it and signed, and then pass
cd 1t back to me and | signcdit. The
manifold copies were then distributed
to several generals. The transaction
took place in front Of my tent, and

that the picture was gotten up 10
