HAWTHORNE'S READING.
BY JAMES T. FIELDS.

Hawthorne was great devourer of
books, and in certain moods of mind it
made very little difference to him what
the volume before him happened TO be.
An old play or an old newspaper some
times gave him wondrous great con-
tent, and he would ponder the sleepy,
unintercsting sentences as If they con-
tanned immortal mental aliment. He
once told me he found such delight in
old advertisements in the newspaper
files of the Boston Athenaum, that he
them. At other times he was very fas-
tidious, and threw aside book after
book until he found the right one.
De Quincy was a special favorite with
him, and the Sermons of Laurence
Sterne he commended to me as the best
ever written. In his library was an old
copy of Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia"
which had floated down to him from a
remote ancestry, and which he had read
SO industriously for forty years, that IL
was nearly worn out of its thick leath-
ern cover. Hearing him say once that
the old English State Trials were en-
chanting reading, and knowing that he
did not possess a copy of those heavy
old folios, 1 picked up set at q book
stall and sent them to him. He then
sold me that he spent more hours over
them and got more delectation out of
them than tongue could tell, and he
said, that if five lives were vouchsafed
to him he could employ them all in
writing stories out of those books.
He had sketched, in his mind, several
romances founded on the remarkable
trials reported in the old volumes; and
one day. remember, he made my
blood tingle by relating some of the
situations he intended, if his life was
spared, to weave into future romanees.
Sir Walter SCOTS novels he continued
almost to worship, and was accustom-
ed to read them aloud in his family.
G.. p. r.. James, both the early and the
latter ones, he insisted were admirable
praise to bestow on the novels of An
thony Trollope. 'cHaye you ever read
those novels 2" he wrote me in letter
from England, sometime before Troll
lope began to be much known In Amer
lea. ''They precisely suit my taste;
solid and substantial, written on the
thorough inspiration of ale, and Just
as real as if some giant had hewn a
great lump out of the earth and put in
glass case, with all its inhabitants GO
ing about their daily business and not
suspecting that they were made show
of. And these books are as English as
q beefsteak. Have they ever been
tried in America It needs an English
residence to make them thoroughly
comprehensive but still I should
think that human nature in them would
give them success From

All medical men agree that Sarsaparilia is
the most efficient of all the alternatives derived
from the vegetable kingdom, and the Iodide Of
Potassium the most powerful of all those OBJ
tanned from the mineral world, and all who
have had any large chemical experience are
satisfied that either Of these substances IN
creases and intensifies the power of the other.
The Potash augments the activity of the Sars-
aparilIa, and this in its turn adds immensely
to the virtues of the Potash. Together. in the
combination of Edward wilder's Sarsaparilla
and Potash, they constitute the most PoseeEjSi
Blood Purifier and Constitutional Alternative
ever used. No disease or affection which de-
ponds on impurity of the blood can resist its
action. Such is the confidence in it that cure
is guaranteed in every case where the direc-
tons are followed, IN any Of the following
diseases: Serofnla in all its multitudinous
forms, Chronic Rheumatism, Cutaneous Aztec
tions, Syphilis or Veneral Disease, Serofulous
Sore Eyes, Glandular Swellings of the Neck or
elsewhere, letter, Weeping Sore Leg, Ulcers
of every kind, Pimples on the Face, Ring
worm, Scald Head, Falling Of the hair or AL
lopecIa, White Swelling, Ague Cake, Chronic
Erysipelas, Dropsy, &C. This medicine has
effected the most wonderful cures. So much
so, that now the most eminent physicians in
the world are prescribing it in their daily
practice. They know its worth. Now is the
season Of the year when your system requires
an alternative medicine. Then get this at once.

CURIOUS THINGS ABOUT ICE,

Besides the fact that ice is lighter
than water, there is another curious
thing about it which many persons do
not know, namely, its purity.
A%lump of ice melted will always be-
come pure distilled water, When the
early navigaters of the Arctic seas got
out of water, they melted fragments of
those vast mountains of ice called ice
bergs, and were astonished to find that
they yielded only fresh water. They
thought that they were frozen salt wa
ter, not knowing that they were form
ed on the land, and in some way
launched into the sea. But if they had
been right the result would have been
all the same.
The fact is, the water in freezing
turns out of it all that Is not water,
salt, air, coloring matter, and ali i'm
purities. Frozen sea water makes
fresh water ice. If you freeze a basin
of indigo water it will make it as pure
as that made of pure rain water.
When the cold is very sudden these
foreign matters have no time to es-
cape, either by rising or sinking, and
are thus entsngled with the ice, but do
not form any part OF it.

to the discussion of the policy of the
President in relation to it. We have
observed their statements with some
interest, expecting that the time would
come when we could CLEAN enough of
reliable facts to give our readers more
clear view of the true policy of the
matter, but have thus far been disap-
pointed. Suffice it to say, that5the pol
icy of the annexation of San Domingo
seems to have originated with the Pres
ident, while it is surmised by some that
it originated as a scheme of some big
SPECTATORS who have had the tact to
lead the President to view the matter in
a way that suited their purposes, al
though in way that may be for the
good of the country.
1t cannot be reasonably doubted that
the President inaugurated the measure
with the belief that the acquisition is
an important measure for naval defense,
and many are fully committed to the
endorsement of these views. This
seems to be the only conceivable advan-
to realize. We are led TO believe that
two entirely distinct influences are at
work which are leading toward the con-
Summation of the measure. That the one
is purely national measure for naval
defense; that the other party occupy an
entirely different stand point, and that
involves the money there is in the
thing. The commission which was re-
Gently sent out to investigate the matter
is composed of men who will be likely
to act wisely, provided they are not
misled by the hangers on who are said
to have accompanied and followed
them, and the report will be quite like
ly to indicate the result when the ques-
ton again comes up in Congress.

From the New Orleans Picayune Jan. 12.i
A DIVORCE CASE WITH A FUNNY
ANSWER.

The laws of Louisiana concerning di-
vorces give, at present, greater facil-
ties for the dissolution of the marriage
ties than any other State in the Union,
Indiana or Illinois not excepted, in
compatibility of temper alone being
sufficient cause to sever at once the
matrimonial ties without time or other
circumstances being necessary.
A few days since petition for d.
vorce was filed in the Fifth District
Court by a. NJ. Hill, husband of Clara
Earl, whose marriage took place in this
city in May, 1868. The reasons assign
ed are, that the defendent refuses to
live with petitioner, or to aid in the
support of their two children, a boy
and girl, contrary to their marriage
agreement and the laws of the country.
That she is destroying the peace of pc
Gtioner and his children; in this, that
she is VIGOROUSLY wicked, passionate,
and habitually Incorporate. That ow-
ing to her conduct ali peace and happi-
ness has been destroyed, and he desires
to be separated and to have the care of
his two children.
Yesterday the defendant IN this case
appeared at the clerks Office, and with
her own hand wrote the following an
sWer:
''The defendant, Clara Earl, now
comes into court, and for answer to the
allegations in plaintiffs petition, says:
''She, fairly looking into Iife's account,
Saw frowns and favors were of like amount;
And viewing all his prospects and his
purse,
Prays that the plaintiff go in peace
''Tis swell he do no worse.''
"And that there be Judgment accor-
ding to his petition.

Are you suffering from costiveuess or in
need Of an efficient purgative! Edward Will
der's Family Pills are vegetable tonic and
invigorant OF uncommon excellence. Fer
constipation and biliousness they are certain

refresh the overloaded system. Nor is this
all. There is nothing in their composition
which is not vegetable. They are potent for
good among the strong and robust. They are
the one aperient or laxative needed by the del
icate and weakly. The liver, the great secre-
tive gland Of the body, determines both the
purity of the blood and the condition of the
bowels. These pills contain herbs, gums,
roots, and barks, every one Of which is ceIe-
brated as an ambitious remedy, and which, If
there be single aseertained fact in medicine,
CONSTITUTES the most genial and perfectly salts
factory pdFgatiye Jet discovered. They do
nor rasp or tnjure. They clean out the de-
PRAYED and yitiafed secrstfsns Of the aIimen-
tary canal. They stimulate and persuade the
liver. They tone the stomach, and through it
the brain and nerves. They do not irrftate-
they restore. In all the Phlegmasia, Rheum-
atism, Erysipelss, Vertigo, Dizziness, Infam-
nation Of the Brain, Liver, Kidneys, and
Bladder, and in every other affection in which

There is no such medicine for the diseases
for which it is recommended as Edward Will
der's Stomach Bitters. 1t is positively assert
ed that they are altogether unequaled. They
are absolutely infallible, if used according to
directions, in Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Inter
mittent Fever, Liver Complaint, Collie, and
FluX. They are tonic. They are eminentiy
an Alternative. They are superior to all other
medicines as an appetizer. They invigorate
the enfeebled stomach, and revive the over
wrought system. They add new power to the
weakened heart, and sustain the overworked
brain. Besides being superior TO, they are
unlike, all other Bitters, in having for their
base pure cOpper-distilled Bourbon whisky.
This fact alone has given them a character IN
the city where they are made, and must COM
mend them to the lovers of the good and the
genuine everywhere. To the anxious mother
weighed down with family cares, to the ner-
chant exhausted by the harass of business, to
the dyspeptic, to him who suffers from consti-
patton, to the victim of fluX collie debility,
these Bitters offer speedy and never failing
relief. Try them. If you take them once, you
will never after be without them in your
house.

Have you for years been suffering with Ague
and Fever or Chills and Fever, which so rack
the system? If so. go at once and get bottle
of Edward Wilder's Chill Tonic, as it is boldly
asserted that, in Its line, and for the diseases
fer which it is recommended, there is no med
icine known that will at all compare with il.
1t is a certain, speedy, permanent cure
for every disease arising from miasma or ma
laria. No form of Intermittent or Remittent
Fever can resistit. Quotidian, Tertian, Ruar-
tian, and Twenty-one day Chills are Obliged
to yield to it. 1t is the cOnqueror of every spe-
cies Of Marsh or swamp Fever. 1t is the COM
plete master of Brow Ague, Periodical Head
ache, Intermittent Neuralgia, Splenalgia or
Pain in the Side, and of every variety and
of Intermittent and Bilious
Fever.
Nor does this medicine resemble any other
of the thousand compounds advertised for
these affections. 1t is the pure distilIation
from the most costly varieties of Cinchona
bark, and is in itself pharmaceutical triumph,
a therapentical wonder. 1t at once checks the
Chills and restores the blood to its proper con-
thereby Graduating all traces Of this
the most banefui disease from the system.
Wherever these diseases exist this medicine
should always be kept in every household, as
4 cure is always guaranteed.

By a process recently discovered, L have been
able to obtain from the bark of the Wild Cher
ry Electrically the Prunus Vi-giniani) an
extract which has been pronounced by the
Pharmaceutical Society of London and Berlin
to possess more of the virtues of this invalua-
bic tree than any other ever presented to
them. One single teaspoonful of Edward Will
der's Compound Extract of Wild Cherry con-
tains more of the active principle of the Wild
Cherry than any other preparation contains in
a wine-glass full. To this extract is added
other ingredients derived from the vegetable
kingdom, which give an efficiency, activity,
and power to this remedy which justly entitle
it to be called the Destroyer of Coughs, Colds,
Catarrhs, Larangitis, Asthma, Influenza, and
Group. Not one of these affections can with
stand it. They yield instantly to its magic
power. Besides these diseases, it is invaluable
in Pneumonia and Pleurisy. In Bronchitis,
acute and chronic, it is unfsiling, and in the
cough of Consumption it affords a reliefwhich
no other remedy is capable of doing. In its
composition are summed up all tine ingredients
necessary to effect permanent cure, which in
every case is warranted if used according to
directions.

CITY FINANCES.


AS it has been said by some of our
city Councilman, that the greatest inter-
est taken in the finances of the city, by
some of our citizens, was to find fault
with the city Council, complain of Sixth
avenue improvements, and vote against
bonds, desire, with your permission,
to say something in reference to our
city finances, by way of inquiry, and
probably few suggestions.
1t is well known to all of US that our
city is little behind financially, not
much it is true, but enough so that our
city scrip is selling at but sixty cents on
the dollar. Now if this be necessarially
so it is time we begin to look about us
and try aud devise some plan whereby
we may keep out of debt.
Can it be possible that our city Coun-
Gil has been legislating with an eye to
fleeing their own pockets, or is it sell
ing at discount because the cry has
been all the time TO fix our streets, our
sidewalks, and our culverts, and us I'M
willing to put the wherewith iuto the
treasury to defray the expenses thereof?
Is it possible that little of both
causes exist, for can sec how one would
bring about the other, particularly If
some one was anxious to speculate in
city scrip.
Now this is an age of speculation and
we can find plenty of men willing TO
help us to make improvements, pay our
rich by it; and as we can make more
improvements, or pay more debts, at
ninety or one hundred cents on the dol
lar than we can at fifty or sixty cents on
the dollar, would suggest that we vote
bonds sufficient to pay our city indebt-
edness, to finish up some of our street
improvements Chat have been COM
menced and are of no value until CON-
pleted), and to buy the parapLernalia
