Kew story Of Daniel Webster.

A writer in the Boston Transcript
tells this story, never before given to the
public;
Mr.. Webster, as is well known, was
very apt in his classical quotations
although less varied and less persistent
in his study of the ancient authors than
was his friend Rufus Choate.
Impecuniosity was regarded as an
"often infirmity' Of Mr.. Webster; and
this, or q temporary absence from home,
gave rise to the following incident when
he was living in New Hampshire:
A professional brother, resident in
another place, had endorsed note for
him to one Of the Portsmouth banks.
and was notified at its maturity that
the same had not been paid. He i'm
mediately wrote to Mr.. Webster, and
requested his attention to it. The re-
ply was to the following effect
"Give yourself, my friend, no uneas:-
ness about the matter. My appeal to
the bank has been as that of Nisus to
the Rituli OF. old, to avert the impen-
ding fate Of his friend Euryalus: Me,
me, ads,m, q,d feel; in me eonuertite, fer
rum. "
To his approaching classical surety
on the note it was not necessary 10 give
the literal transaction: u" am present
who did the deed; against me, me only,
turn the weapon of your warfare.
Suffice it to say that the appeal to the
bank was, in this instance, q success

me, had no further trouble in the mat

Another Congressional " Scene"


In the House of Representatives Fri
day, General Butler offered a resolution
that hereafter, when gentlemen ask
leave to print, they shall be upon their
honor no: to publish what's extensively
personal. As the resolution required
unanimous consent, the Speaker asked
if there was any objection, and Mr..
Farnsworth interposed an objection
which elected the remark from Butler
that he supposed Farnsworth would OBJ
iect, to which the latter retorted that it
was necessary sometimes to indulge in
personalities in order to let the country
know the whole truth.
While speaking, Mr.. Farnsworth
moved to within a lew seats of Butler
and looked the latter full in the eye.
Butler made some remark about the
practice Of striking men behind their
backs and writing language which they
dared not utter. Farnsworth, glaring
at his enemy, and pointing his finger at
him, went on to speak Of" towards and
poltroons crawling into the House"
when his further remarks were inter
rupted by loud raps from the Speakers
gavel. Meantime. Butler and Farms
worth stood looking at each other for
the space of at least three minutes, and
the galleries expected another explosion
if the least opportunity presented itself.

FUEL,
A Romantic Case.

From the Washington Sunday Herald.
The officials of the War Department
are prosecuting inquiries to obtain evil
dence of the death or whereabouts of
Frederick William Keyer, a native of
Germany, and formerly Union SOL
der. When last heard from he was a
paroled prisoner at Wilmington, North
Carolina, lying sick and not expected
to live; but whether he died or lived is
not known. Inquiry for more definite
information as to his fate is now made
at the instance of the Prussian Gov
eminent, who has applied through the
Consul at Hesse- Darmstadt, to our
State Department. 1t appears from
the correspondence that this soldier is
one OF the heirs Of an estate, valued at
a million and a half of dollars, and the
singular feature of the case consists in
the fact, as stated on the German side,
that the estate cannot be divided for
seventy years after the decease Of its
former owner, unless the death or
whereabouts Of this one heir can be es-
tablished by satisfactory evidence.
The first attempts by the Adjutant
General to obtain the required evidence
having failed, letters have been written
to various officers stationed in North
Carolina, directing them to make all
possible inquiries, with view of clear
ing up the mystery, so that the surviv-
ing heirs can obtain their inheritance.

What ia 1t?

Many, many people suffer from they
know not what. They are not sick-they
are not well. There is no name for it. 1t
issimply weakness-a breaking down Of the
vital forces. Whatever its causes, land they
are innumerable) its symptoms are in the
main the same. Among the most promi-
nent are extreme lassitude, loss Of appetite,
loss of flesh, and great mental depression.
Indigestion and stomach cough are also
frequently concomitants of this distressing
state of body and OF mind. The common
remark in relation to persons in such a con-
dition is, that they are consumptive. Now,
what these unfortunates really want is
rigor, rital strength; and, as certainly as
dawn succeeds darkness, they can recuper-
ate their systems and regain perfect health
by resortingt to Hostetter's Celebrated stom-
ach Bitters. 1t is as clear that life-reviv-
ing tonic Is required in such cases, as that
the dying flame of an empty lamp requires
to be revived with a new supply of Oil.
Perfectly pure and innocuous, containing
nothing but the most genial vegetable ex-
tracts, and combining the three grand ele-
ments of stomachic, an Alternative, and a
genial invigorant. Hostetter's Bitters are
suitable to all constitutions, and are as ap-
plicable to the diseases and disabilities Of
the feebler sex as to those of men.

A R,t of Bret Harte Gossip.

San Francisco Correspondence OF the New
York Globe
An interesting bit Of gossip has re-
Gently come to the ears Of your cores
pondent. Some months ago lady OF
we'll known literary ability sent to Mr..
Harte an article embracing descriptions
of places of interest seldom visited BY
literary tourists, and historic facts and
incidents concerning them. She also
sent stamps for return postage in case 1t
was not accepted for the Overland.
The article did not appear in the
magazine, for she did not belong to the
society; neither was it returned. Some
weeks ago there appeared in an Eastern
paper an article entitled "Journeyings
Around California," by Bret Harte, one
paragraph of which had evidently been
transcribed verbatim from her manu-.
script. With the paper in hand the
lady called at the Overland office, and
requested the return of her manuscript,
but it could not be found though editor
and publisher both looked for it.
"You did not, said she, consider it
worthy OF publication p

siderable revision"

YOU will see where he got the paragraph.
Now, want the article before you
steal the rest of it. You might have
returned the stamps if you, did not want
the article, for stamps are scarce with
me"
The world renowned poet looked in
desks, in drawers, and in pigeon-ho!es,
but the missing article could not be
found. Finally he told the lady to call
the next forenoon, at half-past ten and
she should have the manuscript.

to find that Bret Harte HAD, three

A REACTION COMING.

There is one grain OF comfort to be
derived from the present revolutionary
action of the Radical majority in Con-
gress. 1t is the hope that, like an
overdose of poison, it may produce
nausea and result in the expulsion OIL
the imperislists from their newly-ac'
quired power. 1t appears to be con-
ceded now that the Ku-Klux bill, with
all its odious and unconstitutional fea-
lures, will become a law, and President
GRANT be invested with dictatorial
power. The amnesty bill, which was
relied upon as sort Of antidote and
was expected to take off the edge OF
popular resentment against the authors
of the force bill, will not be passed by
the Senate. All the mischief that can
possibly be accomplished is to be done,
and nothing that could tend by its libe
rality to allay popular discomfort can
receive the sanction Of Congress,
Already the more moderate Republi
can journals, and even some that have
been noted for their Radicahsm and their
adherence to the most extreme doctrines
OF the most extreme men Of their party
are exhibiting a reluctance to go any
farther in the war upon free institu
lions and are urging their partisans to
halt. When such journals as HARPER
Weekly find the revolution going far

must be imminent indeed. Republican
journals of more moderatetype all over
the country are crying out against the
iniquities of legislation, and are scarce.
ly less severe in their denanciation Of
the course now being pursued by their
representatives in Congress than are the
Democrats whose warnings were un'
needed when there was more hope OF
averting the danger than now.
There is some ground for the hope
that, finding themselves betrayed by
the bad men in power, the people may
rise against the powerful party that is
depressing them and crush it forever.
With the present divisions and dissen-
sions of the Radical party unhealed,
there is almost a certainty of Demo
cratic success in 1872. The very means
to which the Congress is resorting to
fetter the people and enable GRANT TO
be his own successor, will be likely to
produce such reaction in favor Of con-
stitutional government and popular
rights as shall destroy both the wrong
doors and the wrong. The Presidents
efforts last fall to employ the bayonet
as an electioneering agent did not re-
suit according to his wishes and came
near producing serious insurrection in
both Pennsylvania and New York. We
doubt whether similar efforts will be as
quietly tolerated in 1872, even though
legalized by act OF Congress.
