HORACE GREELEY'S CLOTHES.

| tFrom the Golden Age)
| Mr.. Greeley's dress gets abundant
mention, and Mark Twains amusing
picture of the great editor standing at the
glass and trying fol. half an hour to tie his
heck.handkerchief SO that it shall look the
most slovenly, and another half hour in
making dents in his hat is likely to 20
down TO posterity as n veritable portrait
OF man whose chief business IL has never
been to wear clothes But other eminent
men have dressed miserably. Fox set the
fashion of slovenliness in attire, until IL
became almost disreputable in England to
dress handsomely, until Beau Brummell
turned the heads of half Of London by his
exquisiteImake-up. Oliver Goldsmith went
to be ordained in red plush breeches.
Daniel Webster went TO Dartmouth
College to be matriculated in q suit of
homespun, dyed dark blue; but heavy
rain soaked all the indigo out Of the clothes
into the young mans skin, and no amount
Of wiping could remove the fixed cerulean
from his face. When asked who he was.
he replied "They call me Black Dan at
"home, but l appear as Blue Dan to-day"
Walpole wrote of the celebrated Lady
Mary Wortley Montague in 1862, cher
dress. "like her::languages is agaiimatias of
several countries, the ground work rags,
and the embroidery nastiness. She needs
'no cap, no handkerchief no gown, no
petucoat, no shoes. An 'old black-lace
hood represents the first the fur of a horse
"man's coat, which replaces the third,
serves for the second a dmity pet,icoat
is deputy, and ofticiates for the fourth, and
slippers act the part of the last" Mr..
Greeley has distinguished precedents for
his style OF attire; and if be lost his hose
on the way to the Jubilee, we must
rememb Der that such an accident is trifing
to that which befel Fountayn Wilson, NJ.
T., who, having an invitation TO dine after
meeting of his Committee, ordered his
servant to bring down his best clothes In
the hackney coach, in which he could ex-
change suits while on the way. But as i'll
luck Tould have it, the axle broke just as
he was fairly out Of on suit and before he
was into the other, and crowd Of people
were something more than nonptussed at
discovering inside the vehicle naked
man, with two suits of clothes beside him.

SPECIAL .NOT{CES.

m- AGGRAVATED INDIGESTION
Persons who are predisposed to dyspepsia, find
their suff'crings from this cause greatly aggra-
waited by damp weather, eastery winds and sud-
den changes from mild to q chilling atmos-
phere In the spring, therefore, the pangs of
indigestion are seriously augmented by the at
mospheric variations peculiar to the season, and
it is incumbent upon all VINO desire TO pass
through the ordeal Of its cold mists and lnsalu-
brious gales with easy stumachs, and untorment-
ed by the Understandable torments which accom-
pany dyspepsia, to tone and strengthen the d.
gestive organs with healthful and effective
Vegetable invigorant; and no one ut all familiar
with the medical record of the age, can question
for one moment that Hostetter Stomach Blttcrs
is the Tonic best adapted to this purpose.
The credentials Of the Great hestoratlres are
uneuualled in number and character by those Of
any other advertised medicine in the world. If
ever there was Il preparation to rank as Ma
tional Remedy, this wonderful specific has n fair
claim to the title For period of twenty years
it has literally been the Champion Tonic and
Alternative on this side of the Atlantic. In pop
ularity it has never been approached by any OF
its would-be competitors, and It's annual sales
are so far in advance of those of any other medi-
ciHe Of its class that comparisons would be RI
diculous One Of two conclusions is inevitable
Either the American people are deficient in
common sense, and incapable Of rational dis
elimination, or Hostetters Bitters is the best
preventive remedy for indigestion, fever and
ague bilious remittent fever, constipation, rheu-
matism. nervous complaints and all maladlcs OF
nm endemic or endemic type. The reader will
Judge for himself which of the two conclusions
is most consistent with fact and reason. tcb26

CANAL NEws-A telegram received here to-
day says that water was let into the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal at Cumberland, temporarily,
yesterday, and that level found to be in excel
lent order. All the levels will be tried in the
same way, within the next few days, and no
fears are entertained but that they will all be
found to be in the same condition. President
Clark sometime since said that he hoped to
have the Canal ready for navigation by the 5tb
proximo, and his hopes will doubtless be realiz'
ed, though it is not probable that actual navi-
CATION will be commenced by that time. The
Alexandria Canal has undergone some repairs
during the winter, and some minor work Is 10
progress now, but everything will be ready fo1
the water when it comes from Georgetown =
The Coal Companies here have made prepare
tions for an increased trade next season, but
they will not probably commence active opera
tions before the middle or latter part Of March
