Mark Twain's Life and Exploits.
A letter in the Washington Star says:

A letter in the Washington Star says:
Buffalo has many "reminiscences Of Mark
Twain, and of his remarkable attempt at pub
fishing newspaper on an entirely new plan.
After his return from the Holy Land (per
Quaker City,, Mark took wife, aud purchased
the third interest in the Buffalo Express, own
ed by A. NJ. Clapp, Public Printer. They say
that Marks style of newspaper work was
unique. He is not all early riser, and is as
slow of movement as Of speech, consequently
he didn't get to the office very early ID the
morning. And, when there, his movements
were not characterized bynervous haste: Seat
ing himself in capacious plvot-chair, LIS
first move was to deposit his boots in the waste
basket, and replace them with roomy slippers.
Then, elevating his slippered feet to comior-
table cushion on the exchange papers ltheir
only legitimate use in his estimation), 1t was
his won't to lay back in his chair, swinging
himself lazly on its pivot, and tell stories OF
wit and wisdom by the hour to the associate
editors. This was vastly pleasant to all con-
cerned, but somehow it did not work in the
way of making newspaper, aud at the end OF
six weeks Mark came to the conclusion that
publishing q newspaper was not his forte. He,
however, retained his interest in the Express
for about q year and half, though as afOre-
said, he did not take part in the active man
agement for more than six weeks. Mark mar
ried the daughter of Jarvis Langdon, of Elmra,
New York, the heaviest coal operator in the
West. His property was valued high as SlO,-
600, 900 in his life, and had he lived to get all
his irons out of the fire, perhaps that amount
might have been realized, but leaving every
thing by the ends, there has been great
'shrinkage' (the word, believe,) in the value
of assets. Still there is enough left to divide
q trife of a few millions between Marks wife
and her brother, Charles Langdon. 1t was
through this brother, by the way, that Mark
got his wife Charley was one of the lnno-
cents Abroad who accompanied Clemens on
his famous trip on the Quaker City, and wrote
home so enthusiastically about Mark Twain
that Mr. Langdon, ST., sent him a cordial in
vitation to visit them ut Elmira. The result
was the meeting of Mark and Miss Laugdon !;
a case of love at first sight, aud the t'raln be-
coming one."

THE Observation-Disclosures years ago we
visited the town of Anderson. S. c. From
Anderson we returned to this village. We
could then see little if any difference in the
business appearance of the two places. AT the
time alluded to, however, we had a railroad to
Laurens, and we had signs of busy life and in
dustry On last Saturday business called us to
Anderson again-the first time we had seen
that place since our visit fourteen years previ-
ous and although it was then a prosperous up.
country town, with fourishing schools, and
every evidence of that industry which always
secure. success, we were agreeably surprised to
observe the marked improvement in the ap-
pearance of the place. Everything presented
an air of freshness and business vigor; and
though the reflection was an unpleasant one,
the mind very naturally compared that thriv-
ing, bustling town with the dull monotony of
our own. How is this great outstripping of
the one town over the other to be accounted
for7 We know no better answer to the query
than to say that in the first place it is on &C
count of the necessary energy on the part of
our people; and in the second place it is be-
cause we are without railroad. This, in our
humble judgment, explains the secret-it q
secret ut all0of the continued prosperity of
the one town and the gradual decline of the
other. We have as good soil and as fine CHI
mate in Laurens County rs Anderson can boast,
yet it is melancholy, in comparing the two
towns, to observe the great difference between
them as to business prosperity.

Diptheria.

A physician of distinguished ability gives ns
the following facts concerning this much dread
ed disease:
i. In its nature, it is not local affection,
as is usually supposed, but constitutional, pre-
vading tie blood of the whole system before it
makes it's appearance in any part; it is of a
nature kindred to erysipelas and though cpl
demica, is not, strictly speaking, infectious.
2. Its most manifest symptom is false
membrane, of white color, which forms upon
and around the tonsils, near the palate, and
which thickens and extends, unless checked,
until the patient dies from suffocation. This
false membrane is, however, not confined to
the throat but may some times be seen upon
the hand, or arm, or any other place where the
skin has been removed.
8. Among the cautions to be observed are
the following: Avoid all medicines and modes
of treatment which shall exhaust the strength,
and be careful not to injure the skin by blis-
ters or counter-irritants, particularly IN the
neighborhood of the throat
4. To effect its cure, aim to restore as rapidly
and efectually as possible, the patients waning
strength. For this purpose, let the diet be OF
the most nutritious Characterization soup,
beef tea, ETC., give freely of cgg.,nogg, made
of good whiskcy, or use the stimulant IN any
other way that will combine nourishment with
stimulation. Add to the general strength Dy
the use of mineral tonics, OF which none IS
better than muriate of iron, which may be ad-
ministered as largely as ten drops at dose,
arorv two or three hours, for an adult. Be-
y tweer the doses of iron, give from five to fifteen
grains of chlorate mot chloride) of potash or
Of soda. The chloride of soda may be used as
an antiseptic gargle, but the best gargle is COM
mon salt.
If the disease gives signs of periodicity, by
regular remissioiis and accessiops, then bring
to your aid the great anti-periodic, quinine. -.
Out this out end keep it ready in time OF
need, as it may be relied on.-Augusta C0ust'-

Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.

The Atlanta Herald has the following hand
some notice of Mr.. Stephens and his return to
public life: 75., -
When Mr.. Stephens left the Congress of the
United States, in 1859, it was his intention then
never to enter public life again. He thought
the Government was we'll established, and that
all irritating questions were settled. He had
spent all the prime of his life to bring about
this result, and he determined to spend the re.
mainder of his life in serene retirement at
Liberty Hall"
But when the conflict between the States
came on, he cast his lot with his State, and was
made the Vice President Of the Confederate
States without any efforts of bis own. Serving
his country in that honorable and responsible
position throughout the war, performing his
duties with fidelity, he became, at its close, q
prisoner in the hands Of the Federal Govern
ment, and was cast into cell at Fort LaFay-
ette, where he remained for several months,
after which he was released on parole
Returning again to his beloved home at
"Liberty Hail." he had no other expectation
but to remain in private life, engaging in liter
ary pursuits, producing his celebrated work of
the aWar Between the States" and "School
History" of the United States.
About year ago, Mr.. Stephens name was
brought forward by his friends, without his
solicitation, as a candidate for the United
States Senate, in which he was defeated.
At an informal meeting of his friends he was
invited to stand for Congress in his old District,
where he had been so often elected to fill that
position, without even being formally nomina-
ted
The return of Mr. Stephens to Congress after
fourteen years. absence, and after being the

an important event in the affairs of this coun-
try. 1t is with much regret that he again
leaves his home to take an active part in po-
litical life. But he goes to Washington with O
heart full of devotion to his beloved State, and
with no other motive but to devote his la5ors
solely in the interests of Georgia and his
country

A SUBSTITUTE FOR CoFFEE.-Mr. Edward
Dugdale valves, for one year, his patents of q
coffee substitute. His substitute is persimmon.
He explains matters thus in the Griffin (Ga.)
NeUs
"My mode of preparation consists of steam
ing the fruit for half an hour in q boiler, and
after crushing them throw them into tank
of water, and the seed are easily washed out,
as their own specific gravity carries them to the
bottom, and the pulp can be foated of. The
seed should then be spread out in the sun to
dry for three or four weeks, and then parched
and ground similar to any other Coffee care
being taken to have them parched sufficiently
to grind easy.
SThe seed by this process can be obtained,
where the fruit is plenty, at cost of about two
cents per pound, and if properly prepared, are
equal in all. respects to good Java Coffee.
There is therefore saving of at least ten dol
lars per annum to every coffee drinker in the
State, who will take the trouble to prepare it.
"I desire to have it used generally, and
though have covered my inventions by pat.
ents, I feel no doubt that the people will find
their interests identified with mine whenever
call upon them to remunerate me for my trou-
BILE and expense in perfscting my invention"

Ey.President Andrew johnson publishe.

Ex-President Andrew Johnson publishes
lengthy article in the Washington Chronicle,
in answer to Judge Hollis allegation that Mr..
johnson disregarded the recommendation for a
communication of the sentence in Mrs. Surratt's
case Mr.. johnson declares that he never saw
the recommendation, but, on the contrary, that
Judge Holt urged an early execution of the
unfortunate lady. He complains chat Holt
withheld the allegations intended to damage
him until the witnesses were dead.
- The immediate cause of the death of
Mrs. Gen. Lee was paralysis. Her three sons
and daughter were present during her last
illness and the last hours of this noble woman
were peaceful and calm, in consonance with
the distinguishing characteristics Of her life.
