MARRIAeE.-Women of high intellectu.
al endowment, and much dignity Of de.
pertinent, have the greatest difficulty in
marrying, and stand most in need Of n
mothers help. And this is not because
they are themselves fastidious, for they
are often as little so as any, but because
men are not humble enough to wish to
nave their superiors for their wives.
Great wealth in a woman tends to keen
at distance both the proud and the
humble, leaving the unhappy live bait to
be snapped at by the hardy and the
greedy. If the wealthy father of an
only daughter could be gifted with a
knowledge of what paternal care and
Kindness really is, it is our assured belief
that hewould disinherit her. If he leaves
her his wealth, the best thing for her to
do is to marry the most respectable man
she can find Of the class Of men who
marry for money. An heiress, remain
ing unmarried, is prey to all manner of
extortion and imposition, and with the
best OF intentions, becomes through a
bounty-a corruption to her neighbor-
hood, and a curse to the poor; or, if expe-
rience shall put her ON her guard, She
will lead life of suspicion and resist.

The attention of the medical world
abroad has been aroused by the new
treatment of cancer, introduced in Lon
don by a Hungarian physician named
Grob. He contends that cancer is not a
local but general disease; that it arises
from the presence of poison in the sys-
tenn, and that the knife will never cure
the disease, but only postpones its fatal
effects. His remedy consists in setting
up another dsease-fever- the
influence of which the blood poison,
which causes the cancer, is thrown off.
1t is said that he has made some most
marvellous cures,

MEN AND WOMEN IN SUMaER.-Meet
fellow-man when the thermometer is up
among the nineties, and you see him
mopping the sweat from his face, digging
the dust from his eyes, his paper collar
wilted, his linen coat streaked with sweat,
and exclaims: "Hot! Why never saw
such weather. He tells you how the
rubber in his suspeuders has melted and
run together; how he could wiring pints
of water from his clothing; how he has
lost five pounds OF flesh in ten days;
how the sun has crisped his boots ana
ruined his eyesight, and he starts of with
the remark: "Never saw anything like
it," Now meet lady, and what do you
see? Clean white dress, dainty collar,
jaunty tie, hair nicely combed, eyes
bright and smiling, no dust-everything
as tidy and orderly as il the weather was
October. She dosen't hurry bit, stops
now and then right in the sun, cuts the
air with her parasol as II she had no use
for it, and always manages to just escape
the furious cloud Of dust coming up or
down the street. There are no inquiries
about the state OF the thermometer, no
longing looks at sodawater signs and ice
wagons, and no application of the hand
kerchief. She does not hurry, does not
dash for the shade Of six.foot awnings.
and hang to the spot, waiting for cloud
to pass over the sun, and when she taxes
car it seems to matter little whether
all the windows are up or whether they
are down. How on earth do they man
age it?

GEO. N. SANDERS.

The New York Sun, of August 13, con-
tsins the following in addition to what
We have already given concerning the
late Geo. N. Sanders:
He was born in Lexington, Ky, Feb.
ruary 21, 1912. He came of talented
family, his father, Lewis Sanders, being
in the early days Of Kentucky man Of
much activity and force of character.
His grand father, Col. George Nicholas.
for whom he was named, is known in
history as the proposer of the famous
kentucky resolutions, and the advocate
Of the adoption Of the Federal Constitu.
ton by Virginia, against the opposition
of Patrick Henry. Mr.. Sanders intro
duction into political life was by the or
panization of the first mass meeting in
favor of the annexation Of Texas. Twen.
ty-fve years ago he was famous as the
champion of young American Democra-
CIV. He was an enthusiastic Democrat,
but his attractive personal qualities al
ways secured him many warm friends
among the Wings and Republicans. His
life was full of eccentricities and adven-
lures. He travelled much over the world
and everywhere was welcomed He held
but two offices-that OF Consul at Lon
don under President Pierce, and Navy
Agent in New York under President
Buchanan. He was the friend of Doug
las in his opposition to Buchanan
through the Kansas and Nebraska politi-
cal wars, and was his devoted henchman
in the canvass for Douglas nomination
for the Presidency. All through the war
Mr.. Sanders sympathies and efforts were
with the South; and his notoriety was
increased in the closing years Of the
great struggle by his efforts at peace ne.
gotiations at Niagara. Mr.. Sanders
wrote on July 5, 1864, to Horace Greeley
that he, with Clement G. Clay, of Ala
bsms, and James p. Holcombe, of yir-
ginia, would proceed to Washington in
the interest of peace, if full protection
were accorded them" Mr.. Greeley, be-
ing otherwise competently assured that
Messrs. Clay and Holcombe had full pow
ers from the South, forwarded the appli-
cation to President Lincoln, urging that
it be responded to, and suggested certain
terms of reunion and peace which he
judged might be advantageo proffered
to the rebels. As the President refused
to promise more than the safe condnct Of
the reputed peace commissioners both
ways, "the whole matter terminated in
failure and disappointment, with some
evaporation ON the rebel side." Mr..
Greeley, in his American Conflict,
terms this one of 1.-TWO abortive efforts
to open door to accommodation be-
tween the belligerents. Since that time
Mr.. Sanders took no active part in pub
lie life. He travelled some in Europe,
and was well known in Paris and Lon
don. He has lived some time in New
York, and died surrounded by his fam.
lily, of whom there are his widow and
two sons. & 80

A Good One on Chandler.

Don Piatt tells the following in the
Washington Capital:
" Not bad story is current among
Americans in Europe in this connection,
concerning our great Michigander, Sen
ator Chandler. While making his grand
tonr of Europe he encountered our
friend, Gen. lie Fevre, a distinguished
linguist, then United States Consul at
Nuremberg. The conversation turning
on bills presented by landlords, the
Senator said he could not complain.
His bill, compared to those he had to pay
in Washington, were reasonable enough.
But there is one thing that puzzles me,
he continued; wherever l go, if but
for one night, L am charged with a
buggy. Now the charge is low if l ever
had a buggy, but haven't seen buggy
since / left the States" Our Consul was
bothered. He asked at last to look at
the bill, and found the learned Senator
had mistaken the French word 'bougie'
(candle) for the honest American one,
buggy.
