What Cushing says about Atty-Genl Will
isms's Opinion,

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S.-Caleb Cushing
has a short editorial article in the Sunday
Capitol to-day, eriticising the attorney
generals opinion in they irginius case. 1t
seems that Gushing, who has usually been
employed as legal adviser of the State De-
partment, was consulted at the outset in
this case, and assuredlMr. Fish that his
case was a very bad DE; that the Virgin
nus was a flibuster, aid our government
could not exact reparbtion for her capture.
The Secretary disregSded this advice, and
did not consult MI Gushing further,
That Mr.. Cushing has been since
selected for the Spanish mission is due to
the fact that the gfernment needs spe-
cially skillful miniSer TO disentangle its
business at Madri. Mr. Gushing crit
eises Mr.. WilliamEas follows THE de-
cision of the Attrney General embraces
two points first that the register of the
Virginius being fraud upon the naviga-
tion laws of the limited States, she had no
right to carry tie American flag; second,
by carrying theAmerican flag, which she
had no right Il carry, she was as much
exempt from Interference on the high seas

How Starving Men Feel.

Starving reveals many curious psy-
Geological facts. As II rule it develops
in an unnatural degree, the strongest
qualities that man possesses, but cir
cumstances modiiies this much. Among
undisciplined masses ferocity and de-
moraliZation are certain results; but
when its approaches are gradual and
directed by the strong hand of author
ty, its effects are different. One phe-
nomenon in the expedition of Strain at
an early day in Darien, especially as 1t
was not confined to one, but was ex-
hibited by all the officers, not except
ing even Strain at the last, deserves
especial notice. From that the food
became scarce, to the close and just III
proportion rs famine Increased, they
did not gloat over visions OF homely
fare, bnt reveled in gorgeous dinners.
So strongly did this whim get possession
of their minds, that the hour OF halting,
when they could indulge undisturbed
in these rich ceveries, became an
object OF the deepest interest. While
hewing their way through the iungles,
and wearied and overcome until they
were ready to sink, they would cheer
each other by saying "Never mind;
when We go into camp we'll have q
splendid supper" meaning OF course,
the imaginary one they designed to en-
Joy. Truxton and Maury would pass
hours i'll spreading tables loaded with
every luxury they had ever seen or
heard of. Over this imaginary feast
they would gloat with the pressure of
a gourmand. never seeing the incongru-
ity of the thing. They would talk this
over a while within hearing of the
moans of the men, and one occasion dis
cussed the propriety of giving up in
the future all stimulating drinks, they
had been informed it weakened the ap-
petite. As hereafter they designed il
they ever got out, to devote themselves
entirely and exclusively to eating, they
soberly concluded it was wrong to DO ;

MORE GOOD THAN BAD.

There is many rest in the road of life,
If We would only stop to take 1t
And many o tone from the better land,
II the queruous heart would make 1t.
To the soul that IL full Of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green and tho flowers are bright,
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better to hope though the clouds hang low,
Aud to keep the eye still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There never was night without 0 day,
Or an evening without o morning;
And the dark hour, as the proverb goes,
ls the hour before the dawning.
There iB many a gem in the path of life,
Which We pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the miser's hoard Of treasure;
II may be love of little child,
Or mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only bcggar's grateful thanks
For cup Of water given.
Better to weave In the web Of life
A bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart,
Aud hands that are swift and willing;
Than to snap the delicate, minute threads
OF our curious lives asundCr,
Aud then blame Heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit, and grieve, and wonder.

"How much to you have apiece?

KILLED BY A FALsEHOOD.-"He is
dead, said friend of ours the other
day, in answer to an inquiry after the
health of a mutual acquaintance.
''Dead you don't say so. Of what did
he die?" ''Of credulity," was the re-
ply, che believed in patent medicine
of which the chief ingredient was for
ty-rOd rum, and it proved the death of
him. This was true; the unfortunate
man had taken for liver complaint a
compound of fiery alcohol and root
juice, and it had killed him. Now, did
that misguided invalid require a tonic :?
he did; but not SpiTitUOus excitant
The writer of this brief statement is
confident. from his own experience,
that if the martyr to drugged alcohol,
had resOrted to DR.. WALKERS VINEGAR
BTTERs, instead of the poison with a
medical name which proved fatal to
him, he would to-day be in the land of
the living. The Justly popular vegeta-
bic specific contains no destructive ele-
ment It is a tonic that does not ex-
cite, q cathartic that does not weaken,
an antiseptic that neutralizes the seeds
of disease in the blood and other fluids
of the body, and a general Alternative
which arrests diseased action In the Sc
cretive organs, and restores the func-
tionaI regularity indispensable to health
and vigoE. We are no friend Of indis-
criminate praise, and believe that many
patent medicines are merely poison,
but the e1pt rience of thousands has
proved the VINEGAR BIETERs to be all
thew claim.
