The Origin Of the Difficulty Between
-, Fisk and Stokes.

Numerous speculations prevailed as to
the cause of Stokes rash act, but the one
which seemed the most prooaole, ana
was best believed, attributed the occur
renee to feeling of long and bitter ha-
tired held by Stokes toward his rival be-
cause of the latter's constant trlumphs
over him in the courts and IN business
transactions. This feeling grew more
intense after each successive defeat, and
finally reached its eliminating point IN
consequence of Judge Brady's adverse
decision on Fridsy concerning the pub
lication of Fisk's love letters, the severe
and humiliating. cross examination
which which Mrs. Mansfield and him
self were subjected to on Saturday, and
his rumored indictment BY the Grand
Jury for black-mail on Fisk's complaint,
all three of which events followed each
other in rapid order. Persons of his ac-
uuaintance supposed THAT he must have
heard of the bench warrant Tor MS ar
rest while at Yorkville Police Court, and
that he left that place infuriated with
the prospect of being put into Jail a
second time through his adversary's in
fuence, and determined to aVenge his
real or fancied wrongs in summary
manner. Those who best knew the rela-
tions between Fisk and Stokes state that
the fatal feud first arose from jealousy
on the part of the former, who looked
with disfavor on the affectionate man.
1ler in which the celebrated Mrs. Helen
Josephine Mansfield treated Stokes.
The trouble deepened with the refusal
of Mrs. Mansfield to renounce him or
prohibit him from entering her house.
In retaliation for the slight put on him
Fisk proceeded to rescind certain verbal
contracts for large amounts which
Stokes held with the Erie Railway: AZ
ter this had been accomplished Stokes
was asked to sell out the shares which
he held in an oil refinery at Greenpoint,
or buy out the other owners. He ac-
cepted the latter alternative, and agree
ment upon price was fixed between him
and Fisk, but the other stockholders
would not agree to the arrangement, and
30 it fell through. Subsequently Stokes
sent note to Fisk requesting meeting
Mt Delmonico's that they might recon-
cile the difference existing between
them. Fisk responded to the appoint
ment, and on reaching Delmonico's re-
marked to Stokes, ~ thought I could
cut nearer q mans heart than any one in
New York, but you SO plump through
itn Stokes proposed to let Mrs. Mans
field act as arbitrator Of their differences,
and Fisk assented to the proposal. A
conference afterwards took place be-
tween Stokes, Fisk and Mrs. Mansfield,
but did not result in any change in the
situation of affairs. The next develop
ment in the fight between the two men
was the arrest and imprisonment OF
Stokes on charge Of embezzlement:
This happened about year ago, and
caused agood deal of talk at the time.

RE-ANIMATINa THE HAIR.-When
the hair ceases to draw from tho scalp
the natural lubricant which is its sus-
tenance, its Vitality is, as it were,
suspended, and if not promptly
attended to, badness will be the certain
result. The one sure method of avoid
ing such an unpleasant catastrophe is to
use LYONS KATHAIR0N, which, when
well rubbed into the scalp, will speedily
re animate the hair and prevent it from
falling out. Besides that, this inimta-
BILE resuscitant and strengthened of the
Hair nourishes and stimulates its young
and tender tibres, removes all obstacles
to their growth in the shape of dandruff
and dirt, and ultimately produces new
crop of hair, stronger, glossier, and
twice as abundant as the old. AS hair
dressing it is notably the most agreeable,
refreshing and serviceahle article ever
placed upon dressing-table.

The amount of feeling and bitter
ness being engendered by the present
race for Congress at large, is unwar-
ranted and extremely hurtful in its
tendencies. Men who support
CHEATHAM, forgetting that he him
self worked for JoHxsoN's election
to the United States Senate tw0
years ago, declare that JoHNsoN's
friends are traitors to the State. On
the other hand JoHNsoN's friends
wage relentless war on CHEArHAM
and say he;is the instrument Of pack I
ed caucuses, forgetting that Mr..
JOHNSON owes al the suceessheSver
had to conventions and without them
could never have done anything. 1t
is such extremely radical expressions
as these that are fast tanning prejudice
into q pernicious and consuming
fame-one that will whelm reason,
and give birth to discord. Passions
will-rise in billowy form and sweep
away every vestige of good feeling
and fraternity, and hate will sway a
universal sceptre. Then let US avoid
these deprecated evils by being "mod-
crate in all things" This. is d.
vine injunction; obey its behest.
This is free country. Men have a
right to think, and, what they think,

This was the rich legacy bequeathed

preserve the precious boon and hand
it down to those who come after us
as high fruition. If men do not
think as we do, let us reason with
them, and not try to drive them; and
above all, do not condemn them for
expressing thoughts adverse 10 our
own. -'..iH" as.f

"He beinga Representative, and a

Grants messages "a passage about the
condition of things in Georgia which
shocked him, latitudiuarian as he was.

course was to 60 to the President, (for
they we're friends and inquire about it.

ard said -" Mr.. President, find pass

quite understand. Will you be good
enough to explain to me what you mean
by it," and ! read him the passage have
read to you. The President took his ci-
gar out of his mouth, after q Whit or

me thus: Well, I really cannot say ex-

".The happiest man in all these States
is Col, w. G. Falkner, of Ripley, Miss,

thus the construction of a commercial
emporium within the limits of Missis-
