Mr. summers Hiorranbv.

The statement that Professor Longfellow is
writing the biography of Charles Sumner, We
have the best authority for saying, is without
foundation No new life, nor any satisfactory
life is likely to appear at present. Mr.. Sumner
left material for a very interesting volume, pic
turing his history before lie engaged in the
public SERVICE which is in the hands of his lit
erary executors but no person TO whom they
would be willing to ntrust it has vet signified a
desire to embody it in the biographical litera-
ture of the country. At some time in the fu-
ture a competent hand may attempt to sketch
the history of Mr.. Summers career, and this, in
connection with the times in which it was cast
and the events with which it was connected,
would form a theme worthy of the most emi-
nent of writer's. We may have to wait years for
it to be attempted. The speeches OF the Sena-
tor are being edited by the above referred-to-
executors, Edward l.. Pierce and Francis V.
Bach, and will contain at least four volumes
more. Some Of the later history will be anno-
tated by material from the pen of Mr. Pierce,
we believe, which will elu ;idate some of the
events of Mr.. Summers later history. An elab-
crate and very appreciative sketch Of Mr.. Sum
ner has just appeared in Swedish, in a Stock
holm newspaper, accompanied by one of the
best likenesses of him ever engraved -.Saiu,'-

The College Regatta winners.

The result of the college regatta does not
serve to strengthen our faith in any precise sys-
tenn of rowing. Two years ago, the great con-
test at Springfield was won, most unexpectedly,
by tho raw farmer lads from the Amherst Agri-
cultural School, who, though having plenty OF
muscle, had little or no acquaintance with the
elaborate science to which the deyotees Of boat
ing had brought it at Yale and Harvard. This
year, there is nearly the same experience
Princeton, whose students have been rowing
only year or two, won the freshman race over
Yale, and now Columbia which is equally green
in aquatic SPORTS carries off the honors in the
great regatta, leaving Harvard behind, third in
the race.
We do not mean to say that there is no science
in rowing-of course there must be. But it
seems that when the contest is between compet-
itors 80 nearly matched in every particular,
with strength, training, and equipment so close
ly equal, the result becomes either matter of
chance, dependant upon some accident or it is
controlled by causes which cannot be perceived
and estimated-the superior FIBRE the greater
enduring power, the larger share If spirit and
elan. Perhaps, if one member of the best crew
were to have bad dream, on the night before
the race, or were to hear that his sweetheart was
flirting with "Another," the diminution of force
in that boat would lose 1t the victory, and an
other crew who had all slept sweety, and re-
ceived rose-colored missives of the right tone
would be first at the finish

A cure for lhe Ills of civilization.

The surest remedy for the ills Of civilized life is
to be found in some form of return to barbarism,
and the common sense of the mass of people has
taught them this but they use the remedy in a
weak form, and therefore fail of the larger good
its ample ruse might give. Tired mon and women,
fearful Of summer heats, make escape to the
country and undergo prolonged cremation in
boarding house or hotel. Itis better than nothing,
and some people like it, or say they do. But
though our so-called country life secures fresher
air, it ensures large supply Of newirrtation and
annoyances, while for vast numbers of men it
means uncomfortable nights in a suburb, hasty
breakfasts, daily railroad busting, and the hot,
long, weary day in town. 1t is better than to be
in the city all the twenty-four hours, but while
it may help, and cannot hurt, it is life which
will not act as complete remedy for those who
are at all seriously exhausted, or fer such as are
beginning to feel the first inroads of the many
ways in which worried work torments us. One
wants something more than few days at dry Al
lantic City or murky Cape May. One wants more
than eight by ten to sleep in and society of kind
one does not crave, and the delights OF unlimited
boarding house gossip. Civilization has hurt
barbarism shall heal. In word, my tired man

idends and awakens leg-heavy, and who has fifty
other nameless symptoms shall try awhile the

that the Republicans Of Kent and Sussex are as
much opposed to equal representation, as the
Democrats in those counties. The fact that this
IL not true, and the reasons why not, we have
again and again stated. So long as the Demo-

Success Based upon Merit.

1t is a subject of general remark among
both whole sale and retail druggists that no
medicine ever introduced to the American
public has ever gained popularity and met
with so large a sale in all sections of the
country in the same length eff time as the
Globe FlOIOer Cough Syrup.
This cannot depend upon its having been
more largely advertised than any other cough
and lung remedy, as such is not the case
The correct explanation is found in the fact
that the Globe Fl0tCer Sy1Ttp produces the
most wonderful and permanentcures, of old
Chronic Coughs, Bronchitis, Asthma, Group,
Whooping Cough, &c, and is undoubtedly
rhe most perfect, pleasant, safe, and ELI =
cient remedy for the cure of Consumption
ever discovered. This rare and delightful
Cough and Lung Panacea is the active prin-
ciple obtained by chemical process from the
Globe Flower, known as Button Root"
and in botany as "CsphelcnthuS OcGide'l-
EaIis," and cures when all other boaSted
remedies fail. EE~It has cured thousands
of people Ehs are Living to-day with only
Ione remaining lung. and they are permanent
3iFiRg advertising mediums fer The rare aud
,gonderfpl siiieacy Of Globe Flower Cough
Syrup, hence the great success and popular
Fty CT this remedy is based upon it, own in
;trinsic merits. To the most hopeless aud
.desponding we say, cheer up at once ays
yourselves Of this great lying Tepedy

Unchanged,

The noted success which has
crowned our efforts since we COM
menced business in Fayetteville,
is clear and substantial evidence,
that we have kept genune goods,
and sold them remarkably low.
Being now perfectly familiar with
the business OF the country, we
regard ourselves masters OF the
situation5 consequently say with
out hesitation, that it ia to the
interest Of the judiciou4 buyer to
purchase his goods from us.
