PLA1NNEss.-Plainness is a misfor-
tune SO much to be aggravated by
mismanagement, and to be redeemed
and rendered tolerable by judicious
treatment, that the consciousness of it
should make no one unhappy. The
ugliest of men boosted that he was
only five minutes behind the hand.
soonest in favor of the ladies. This
may be true where wit is thrown into
the scale. But the plain man is also
more bound to the prophecies and
scruples Of the toilet than his we'll
favored brother. Old clothes and the
suspicion of a soil tell on him with
damning effect; and yet this care must
never merge into foppery. If he hits
the golden mean, his reward will come,
late but surely. At sixty or sixty five
he will be better worth looking at, be
a pleasanter object for the eye to rest
on, be welcomed with sweeter smiles,
than the sloven of the same years.
whatever his natural advantages. No
one can present that plainness is no
trial to woman; therefore we ought
the more to honor the plain woman,
who, hopeless of admiration, yet ap-
plies all the innocent arts of nicely,
taste and feminine tact to set off home
~ features to the best advantage, and
to procure tout ensemble not con-
spicu0usly unlovely. Fortunately, it
is a point on which an unlimited
amount OF self-deception is possible,
for there Is a charm independent of
regularity and color, and no woman
can be sure that she has no shadowy
touch OF such fascination.

n@- The condition of our levees,
says the N O. Bulletin, has at last at
tracted the attention of Congress,
and a committee is to look into the
matter. 1t is to be hoped that they
will make such report as will induce
Congress to render all the help ne
cessary to putting them in order, and
thus prevent the dangers of any Gre
vases. There is no more vital OBJ
ject to which that body can extend a
helping hand. The whole country is
alike bound to preserve these levees.
Tt is national work, and the States
liable to suffer from an inadequate
system of levees should have the
hearty cooperation of the govern
ment in sustaining these great pub.
lie works.

I0Of course Mrs. Laura Fair
ought to suffer the extreme penalty
OF the law for killing Crittenden, but
there has been lagre amount of
sympathy wasted on him. He is
spoken of as man caught in the

to that extent that he could not free
himself. IF he was so weak a fool
that he could not break the bonds
connecting him with her, 'sthe deep
damnation of his taking off" was not
much OF loss to the world. It is
about time that the balderdash con-

COUNTRY VS.. ToWN.-A pregnant
fact, to which contemporary calls at
tention, is that from the beginning
of our Government, nearly all of our
really great political leaders have
been men who were not bred IN cit
les. Washington, all the Adams
Jefferson, Madison, Clay, Jackson,
Calhoun, were farmers, and large
majority of our most eminent public
men have been addicted to agricul-
ture Great cities have had next to
no influence in our politics; and the
same is true of the politics of Great
Britain. These two countries have
preserved their freedom because they
have thus far been protected from
the blighting curse of Capitalization.
London though both the political
and the commercial metropolis OF
Great Britain, has no undue intlu-
ence in British politics; and until the
advent of the Republican party there
were no symptoms of Capitalization
in the United States. The general
diffusion of political life through all
parts of the country, and the equal
influence Of every section in proper
ton to its population, has been the
main safeguard of liberty and order.

Poisonous Medicines.

The theory that the virus of disease
can be safely connteracted by doses OF
poison, is false and dangerous. With
in the last twenty five years, not less
than score of virulent poisons have
been added to the repository of the
medical profession. They are given
in small doses, otherwise they would
destroy life Immediately but even in
minute quantities, they produce,'ulti-
mately, very disastrous effects. 1t is
unwise and unphilosophical to employ,
as remedies, powerful and insidious
drugs, which, in subjugating one dis
ease, SOW the seeds of another still
more unmanagable. None of these
terrible medicaments operates with as
much directness and certainty upon
the causes of disease as Hostettel' IS
Stomach Bitters, tonic and cOrrec-
tive, without a single deleterious ingredi-
ent IN its composition. Arsenic and
quinia are given for intermittents;
bromide of potassium for nervous dis
orders; strychnine and prussic acid for
general debility; mercury, in various
forms, for liver complaint; prepara-
tons of chloroform and opium for
sleeplessness; and yet these deadly
drugs do not compare, as specifics for
the diseases above enumerated, with
that wholesome vegetable invigorant
and Alternative, while they are all so
pernicious that it is astonishing any
physician should take the responsible
ity o. prescribing them. Let invalids,
for their own sakes, try the Bitters be-
fore they resort to the poisons. The
relief they will experience from a
course of the harmless specific, will
render a recourse to the unsafe prepa-
rations referred to, quito unnecessary.

D We learn that the Hon. John L
Lewis, of MiDden, Judge of the 18th
Judicial District, died at his residence
in that place on the night of the 9Th
inst. Judge Lewis death was very
sudden, caused by congestion of the
brain and a slight attack Of heart dis
ease. He was an old and prominent
citizen of Minden, and his death cast
deep gloom over the town. On the
occasion of his funeral, which was
largely attended, all the places of bus
mess were closed, and the church bells
of the different denominations tolled
| throughout the day. We understand
that Judge Lewis had policy of insu-
rance upon his life for $4,000 in the

b1~ Among the provisions, says
an exchange, of the Anglo-American
treaty which is the result of the Ia
bors of the joint high commissioners
of Great Britain and the United
States at Washington, is said to be
free navigation Of the st. Lawrence
river. It is supposed that this means
the free navigation of the Canadian
canals that connect the navigation
above and below the st. Lawrence
rapids. Substantially, the naviga
ton of the river is as free now as any
treaty stipulation could make it
which should not include the navi-
cation Of it's connecting canals.
With these, the acquisition of the
st. Lawrence is of more value and
Importance to the United States,
than the freedom of all the fisheries
from Passamaquoddy to the North
pole.

DThe Court Of Claims has heard
argument in the case of Abraham,
agent United States, which involves
in novel manner the question of
the validity of certain gold contracts
made before the war. It appears
that Morrel was owner of II $1,000
bonds of the Republic of Texas, pay
able in gold by the United States, &C
cording to the terms of annexation.
Fourteen Of these were paid last year
to Morrels order, and the remaining
three were subsequently paid by the
United States Treasury on forged en-
dorsements-all the II however, in
greenbacks. Morrel now brings suit
to recover the difference between
gold and greenbacks on the 29th of
April, 1870, on the sum paid hin,
and also full amount in gold of the
three bonds which were paid on
forged Endorsements, together with
the interest upon them in gold.
