SOUTHERN MEN IN A WORTHY ROLE.-The
calmness and moderation of the Southern
representatives in Congress is striking fact
in the situation. The Northern Democrats
have lost their temper and heads, and are
trying to precipitate grave menace to the
public peace. The members from the
South, on the other hand, inculcate prudent
counsels The scheme for impeaching
the President, which grew out of a bitter
partisan feeling, was only defeated by the
resolute opposition of nearly the entire
Southern delegation, who, under the lead
of BenjaInin Hill of Georgia, stubbornly re-
fused to have anything to do with the
project.
In conversation Mr.. Hill said that if the
people of this country were not capable of
settling the disputed Presidential question
without violence, they were not fit to have
a President, and ought to be governed 10y a
hereditary monarch. He said he had conf
dence in the wisdom of the people, and felt
sure they would not sustain any movement
likely to .jeopardize the public tranquility
If the representatives of the people here in
Washington could not settle amlcably the
present difficulty, they ought to so home
and give their constituents chance to put
wiser men in their places. For party pur
poses, ne salu ne hau OSeh put III Il laIse dt
titude before the North in the late canvass
but those who know his record and dispoSl
ton will bear him out in saying that nt
man deprecates ultra measures more than
he, or is more earnestly determined to main
tain the interests Of the whole Union.
Mr.. Hills views seem to be entertained
by nearly every influential Democrat from
the Southern States, and it is a remarkable
circumstance that the Representatives o
the section which precipitated the countr.
into civil war in 1861 should now by it
moderation and fairness do so much to
ward averting like calamity.-N !

DR.. SWAYNE'S
Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry,

Volumes might be filled with proof from all parts of
the world prove that remedy has ever been dis
covered in the whole history of medicine that
promptly even in the worst of pulmonary dis
ease. good appetite. complete digestion, strength
and disposition for active exercise, is to follow
its use. If you have been tampering with the many
articles put out by persons totally ignorant of the
science of medicine. in theory practice, and your
been neglected the cough deep with purulentand
bloody eXpectoraton. pain and oppression: sore
throat. diarrhea night SweatS fever parched skin,
you will find in DIR. SwAYNE'S COMPOUND your only
hope of cure. If the bowels cOStive or headache
accompanies your disease. the use of SwAYNES SAR-
SAPARILLA and TAR PILLS will remove it. Thirty
years experience. and the increasing popularity of
I" Dr. Swaynes Medicine" are convincing proof.

Mrs. Elizabeth Coxeter, who has just died
in England at the age of l02, heard John
Wesley preach in her girlhood, and married
the merchant who carried out the remark
able feat of manufacturing wool into cloth
and making a coat between the hours Of
sunrise and sunset. This event occurred at
Greenham Mills, Newbury, and the achieve
ment was celebrated by rejoicings in which
5000 persons participated. The old Lady
retained her mental faculties until quite
recently, and on her Tooth birthday she re-
peated the Old Hundreth Psalm to several

Mr.. Stephens's appearance is so pictur-
esque that he Isl boon to the writer ofletters.
Mrs. Clemmer writes thus to the Cincinnati
Commercial in describing the opeRing OF
Congress: "A little way up the aisle
sits queer-looking bundle. An immense
cloak, high hat, and peering somewhere
out of the middle thin, pale, sad little
face. This brain and eyes enrolled In
countless thickness OF flannel and broad
cloth wrappings, belongs to the Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens of Georgia. How any
thing so small and sick and sorrowful
could get here all the way from Georgia is a
wonder. If he were to draw his last breath
any instant you would not be surprised. If
he were laid out in his coffin he needn't
look any different, only then the fires would
have gone out in those burning eyes. Set,
as they are, in the wax.white face, they
seem to burn and blaze. Still, on the
countenance is stamped that pathos OF
long-continued suffering which goes so to
the heart He took the modified oath in
his chair, and, when he had taken it, his
friends picked him upin itand carried it OIL
as if he were feather. When he has not
strength enough to hurt flea, he takes q
solemn oath never again to bear arm,
against the country that takes back, as i
he had never wounded her, this once re
creant but never ignoble son."

Everybody has heard of the
cremation, incineration or burning of the
dead body of Blron de Palm, at Washing
ton, Pennsylvania, last week. The following
item has reference to that event:
''The Broiled Baron is the sensational
title which the Western press invents to
cover the recent little ceremony at Wash
ington, Penn. The incineration OF the re-
mains Of Baron de Palm last week was wit
messed by a large number of newspaper cor
respondents, and the exchange table is now
overloaded with extravagant and sensational
accounts of the performance, illustrated in
some instances with wrstched wood cuts Of
the furnace and the corpse. 1t is safe t.
say that public interest in the incarceration
cooled long before the retOrt. An eccentrl,
gentleman's dying wish ought to be REGARDED
by his executors, as a matter of course; bu
the substitution of incineration for buria
does not entitle him to such extended ad
vertising.
