Vice-PresIdent COlfax on the C0ntrO.
yersy Between England and the
United States.

AT meeting at the Brooklyn Academy
of Music ON the evening of the 22d ult,
in honor of Washington's birthday,
Hon. Schuyler Colfax was one of the
speakers. He said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: If
my heart were of stone, and can assure
you it is not, it would warm with such a
greeting as that with which you welcome
me to this stand tonight. In the days of
my boyhood lived in this city of Brook
lyn, never dreaming that should return
to you to be thus honored. Applause. |
Mr.. Colfax then spoke of the four great
holidays of the year, first of which, he
said, was the birthday of him who was
called the "Father of his Country" sec
ond, the birthday of the nation; third
the birthday of Him who came to give
salvation to men; and fourth, the birth
day of the world itself. He then gave a
sketch of the life and early training of
Washington, and said the very hope of
the nation depended upon the youth of
the age, and the training they received.
With Washington, he said he be-
lieved war to be the curse of all
nations, and yet the war this coun-
try had been involved in was one on
which the blessing of God could easked.
He continued: "No war for the settle

by craftsmanship can we ask God to bless,
or ought we to ask our sons or brothers
to go for and shed their hearts blood. ]

came TO be made. It was made because
the American people demanded that tins
nation should stand forever upon the rock
of right itself. Applause. After ouI

conduct of Great Britain during the con

The paroxysmal maladies which are character
lied by heat and cold, prevail extensively at this
season. and il is a curious fact that in many parts
of the country where they prevalent, other dis
eases, that bear no general resemblance to fever
and ague, or remittent fever, assume periodic
type. Thus, in many sections infested with chills
and fever, rheumatism, neuralgia, hysteria, etc,
sometimes become intermittent, thereby indicating
that they have been engendered by the same pol
sonous exhalations which produce the drstnamed
disease.
In all these masked cases Of dQue-for such they
areas well as in the regular intermittents, the
most safe and reliable remedy that can be admins
tered in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Neither qri-
nine nor arsenic are needed. Both are in the high
est degree dangerous, and are sure to leave sad
traces of their poisonous action in the system,
whether they arrest the paroxysms or not. In many
instances all the socalled specifics OF the regular
naGfeFid Hqedicd utterly fail to "break up inter
mittent and remittent disorders. But the great
vegetable Tonic never fails. The spasm OF the
minute blood vessels which causes the chill, is the
result of nervous weakness, produced by the debil
itating operation Of an unwhoesome atmosphere,
and the tone and vigor given to the nervous system
by the Bitters enable II to throw of the disease.
The wiser policy however, Is to anticipate attacks
of this nature by arousng all the latent energies
of the body at the commencement OF the moist and
chilly season. with this Incompatible antidote. By
pursuing this course, intermittents, remittents,
rheumatism, collie, biliousness dyspepsia and pull
monsry affections may always be prevented

In Chains, Awaiting Madness.

THERE is farm house about two miles
from Arnold Station, Clay County, over
which sadness, and sorrow, and terror are
brooding, for in one of the rooms of the
house are two strong men, heavily iroGed
and chained to the floor.
They are waiting there for most ter
rible malady to take possession of them,
and after putting them to a torture a
thousand times worse than that of the in
QUESTION, to destroy their lives.
When mad dog killed by Campbell,
at Liberty, several days ago, was on its
destroying mission throughout the coHn-
try, those two men crossed its path and
received it's terrible bite The mad stone
efficacy, they prepared for the fearful or
deal of an attack of hydrophObia. Not
knowing at what hour the fell disorder
might make its appearance, and fearing
for the safety of their wives, little ones
and friends, they had heavy irons made
for the purpose, and bound themselves So
securely that it would require almost the
strength of a Sampson to break their
fastenings Their hands are securely
manacled, a strong iron band is locked
around their waists, and to this band is
welded heavy chain, one end of which
is fastened to heavy ring-bolt in the
tioor-and there they stand, waiting.
Waiting for the dread approach of the
awful maddening stupor that announces
the flow of the poison through the blood
and the brain; waiting for the stupoI
from which they will revive by the quick
and sudden twitching of the muscles,
deadly pains in the head and through the
body, and burning eyeballs, while poison.
Gus froth will gather at the mouth. They

longing to bite, to tear, to destroy. The
stupor gone, they will be writhing, snap

fastenings, glaring savagely upon all
around them, the ties of love, of blood,
of humanity obliterated from their under,
standing into horrible commissions
of rage and pain, clanking and rafting
| their chains in order to free themselves
from restraint aud with but one thought,
one desire-to kill and destroy-to rend
with teeth and nails every living thing,
and after this, with hot scorching eyes
strained and twisted back in their sockets,

Unprofltable Case of Life Insurance

A HARTFORD Life Insurance Company
has recently been called upon to adjust a
loss caused by the death of Miss Eunice
Whitbeck, of Luzerne County, Pa, in
August, 1870, in the 93d year of her age.
The COurdRt gives the following details of
the case: "She was insured twenty-five
years ago by Mr. Abram A. Oakley, of
Columbia County, n. V, for his own
benefit. Mr.. Oakley probably expected
to realize handsomely after few pay
ments, but the venerable spinster of three
score and ten didn't die, and, after some
years, becoming discouraged at the CON
slant drain upon his resources, he assign
ed the policy to one Peter Conkling. The
latter bore the brunt of annual payments
for seven years, and gave it up as a bad
job, assigning the policy to James Conk-
ling, who was plucky to the end, and paid
regularly up to the year of his death,
which occurred when Miss Whitbeck was
ninety or thereabouts Meanwhile the
case had become famous in the office, and
No. '3,615' was looked upon as verita
BILE curiosity in life underwriting. After
Mr.. Conkling's death his executors made
the payments, and so much a custom had
it become that they made one payment
after her death, of which they did not
learn for several months, residing several
hundred miles away. This, of course
will be refunded. The executors viii re
ceive the amount of the policy, $1,000
which is about half the amount paid il
premiums by them and their predeces

mon remark made by public men was 1--WE
will let this be a standing dispute, and
when Great Britain becomes involved
in trouble with her own people or
with foreign nation, we will put to her
lips the poisoned chalice she put to
ours" But the American people C'the
plain spoken people" as Abraham Lincoln
called them) said to our leading men,
"Neverl we denounce this wrong. We
denounced it as wrong during the re-
bellion, and even for retribution we shall
not consent that this wrong be done if in
any other honorable way it can be ad-
justed and then set right" Applause.
And that treaty was made by which these
open questions were referred to interna-
tional arbitration-a blow for peace and
against war, more potential than all the
peace societies that ever assembled on
| either side of the Atlantic Ocean. Ap-
| plause. l give no credit to what l hear

nation will dare, in the face of the civil

ceive one dollar as the result of that ar

countrymen and say, settle this question,
whether we receive nothing or whether
our share becomes bankrupt, rather than
recede hairs breadth from the great
moral question that these nations occupy
to-day in respect to other nations on the
earth. [Applause]. 1t says to the coun-
tries of Europe in trumpet tones, 'dis'
band your armies of millions of men in
France, Germany, Austria, and in Russia,
and copy our example, and submit youl
disputes to impartial arbitration" Great
applause This is the counsel l would
give to you, to all men; it is a warning tC
Europe and to all countries, and thus was
it held by him who was ''first in war, firs
in peace, and first in the hearts of hi:
countrymen." [Continued applause.]

How to Prevent Spring Diseases.

IT is an iudisputable, physiological
truth that if the instincts of nature were
yielded to in the spring; were cherished
in her desire to take less and less food as
the weather grows warmer, as they are
yielded to in tile autumn in taking more,
very large amount of the diseases of
spring and summer would be avoided.
The great practical lesson to be learnedi in
reference to the subject, question of
health and disease-yes, in multi
tudes of cases, question of life
and death-is simply this: As the
winter passes, and the balmy spring-time
comes on, do nothing to increase the ap-
petite eat no more than is called for; !;
do not be uneasy becatfse you have little
or no relish for your food /. eat less and
less every day. The very best way to in
crease your pleasure of eating is 70 change
the quality of food; use ARTICLES less
carbonaceous, less warming; send from
your table the pork and bacon, and fat
meats, oils, and sugars, and starches, and
sago, and the tapioea pudding, and the
dumplings, and the rich pastries; get
hold of the early " greens,T the spinach,
the salads, the turnip- tops, the radish, the
early berry and the daily fruit, and lean
meats; pay increasing attention to the
cleanliness of the skin be more in the
air sleep in better ventilated rooms; let
your windows be raised high at night and
your inner doors be left wide opeu.-Dr.

FEW of our institutions are accomplishing
so much for the general well-being of society
as the system of Life Assurance. Number
less families have been saved by its instru-
mentality from poverty and dependence. 1t
furnishes an incentive to and the means Tor
a wise provision against the future, and the
changes which il NAV have in store. This
system is yearly growing in the favor OF the
public, and all classes, whether rich or poor,
are more and more disposed to avail them
selves of the advantages which it brings
within their reach. This is demonstrated
by the rapidly increasing business of some
of our leading life insurance companies.
The annual statement of the New York Life
Insurance Company, of $40 and 34S Broad
way, New York, just published, makes an
exhibit, with which its policy holders may
well be gratified, and of which its officers
have good reason to be proud. The assets
of this Company have increased during the
last ten years from s., 100000 to nearly S20,-
OO0, 900. The number of policies issued by
il during the last year is S,9OS, insuring over
S21, 900. An annual dividend has been
declared from its divisible surplus of nearly
81, 100000. Such statement as this speaks
loudly in favor of the prudence and zeal with
which the business management of this
Company has been conducted. The New
York Life has age and experience, and is well
known to be one of the sOundcst corpora
tions in the country, and the efficiency OF
management which has secured it such sue
cess in the past is sufficient warrant for the
expectation of continued prosperity in the
future.-At'r YOrE Tribune.
