Colonel Forney's last chapter Of An
ecdotes of Pablo Men contains the
following in regard to the late George
Washington Barton, of Lancaster, ia.
He was the tavorite of every social
circle; was sought after for his wit, his
scholarship, and his memory. Mr..
Buchanan delighted to have him at his
frequent dinner parties, and to intro
duce him to his distinguished guests as
a prodigy. He read much and recol-
lected everything, and thus acquired a
style all his own. His defamation was
peculiar to him, but his English was
exact and pure, Rich and hgnratiye
to degree, it was always classic and
correct. Some Of his SMILES and out
bursts, if reported at the time, would
survive like the best of Curran, Phillips
or Webster. he resembled Rufus Choate
in astonishing rapidity of speech and
snlendor of diction. How often / have
regretted that his memorable passages
were not preserved. The courts OF
Pennsylvania and the Democratic con
ventions resoupded with his unparalleled
eloouence, and when he reached San
Francisco he leaped into practice that
promised to lead all others. His last
speech in that city is still spoken OF as
one never equsled and never forgotten.
| will not attempt to give an idea Of one
Of the many / recollect, for fear OF doing
injustice to his very great talents. His
re- pected widow, living IN Philadelphia,
has some of his manuscripts in her pos
session, and will, | hope, soon present a
memoir of her gifted husband.

REMTTEYT FEvERs-THE WAY TO Es-
CAPE THEM.-A dose Of Plantation Bit
tiers, taken night and morning, will en-
able the system to repel the deleterious
influence of these fruitful sources OF
epidemic disease. 1t is in evidence that
in many instances where the greater
portion of the population Of an entire
settlement have been Frustrated by
bilious remittent fevers, the few who
have had sufficient forecast TO take the
Bitters as a preventive, have escaped
the scourge. As a remedy after an at
tack has actually commenced, this cele-
brated tonic and anti-bilious elixir is in
variably eliicacious. In such cases, If
taken when the fever is of, il viii soon
control the paroxysms, and when the
patient is convalescent, it will restore
the appetite and recruit the strength
more rapidly than any other stomachiC
and invigorant in use.

A hypercritieal contemporary notices
the lecturer, Anna Dickinson, in this
manner: She appeared before her au-
ditors attired in a neat but rich necklace
which might be comfortable when the
thermometer indicated 1922 in the shade
but when the mercury is about zero, q
good warm shawl and set Of sables
would be more seasonable attire" The
Nevada belle was better fixed up. She
was dressed in blamed carleton, with in
sect sleeves aud illusion lace slippers
huted and Hounccd; hair cut short and
a cabbage rose. set IN diamonds, on her
forehead" So says the Jenkins Of the
Nevada Times.

lis said that when The Tennessee was
four days at sea, and her rather slow
progress had become q subject Of re-
mark, it was discovered that her steam
and sails were working in opposite direc-
tons. That is to say, Der sails were pro-
polling the ship toward San Domingo,
while her steam-power was working to-
ward home As it was, however, the
sails beat the steam about one-half of q
mile a day. She was originally con.
structed for speed, but was Porterized
and became a thing Of beauty only.
