Among the many remedies which have been
brought to the notice of the Public, no one has
attracted so much attention from the wonder
ful cures it has performed as BAWSON'S Gu RA-
TIVE. Itwas discovered BY celebrated chemist
ofNew England while at work in his laboratory
and used by himself and friends and among the
afflicted poor ofhis neighbOrhOod formanyyears
before it was put up for sale. 1t has stood the
test of years with constantly growing reputa-
Gon until it has become q household necessity.
Wherever it is once used in family that family
will never be without it.
From knowledge of its effects it is recon-
mended BY eminent physicians, and by our lead

been a bold, Outspoken man in his
acts and utterances all his life.
When placed in the executive chair
he will act with the decision and in

calmness of temper and sobriety
of judgment which the spoils-Presi-

The modest virgin, the prudent
wife, or the careful matron are much
more serviceable in life than petit
coated philosophers, clustering he
roines or virago queens. She who
makes her husband and her children
happy, who reclaims the one from
vice and trains the other to virtue,
fills a glorious mission.

"Oh. oh, OH" yelled Mr.. Oar

he shrieked, pointing with trembling

All ewes looked toward the chair

one wild, heaven piercing, yell of

let 90 of Mr.. Darbigne and went
tumbling over each other down the

The unveiling of the statue of
Daniel Webster in Central Park is
appropriate at this time is appropri-
ate as memorial to one who saw
the danger which threatened this
country from afar, and met it, and
for the time averted it. The latter
days of Webster were overclOuded,
and he was less than he had the
might to be because the spiritual and
the moral elements were almost un-
known in him. He was of the earth,
earthly. But he was mighty. His
was probably the greatest brain, in
a secular point of view, that New
England ever had. Considering his
whole personal influence on the de-
velopment of our legislation and on
our courts of Justice he ranked
among our greatest citizens up to
the time of his fall, in March, 1850.
Like the sons of Noah, we may well
90 backward and throw the mantle
over him, recalling only his better
and earlier days For in those days
his service to his country was. very
great. The West and South leagued
against the East, New England es-
pecislly. The conspiracy was gath
ering for a year or two. Webster
foresaw it. and he not only studied
the questions involved but ne also
concluded that Hayne, of South Car
olina, would be chosen to develop the
attack and, acting on the theory that
every man repeats himself, he sent
to South Carolina and got all
of Haynes newspaper articles and
pamphlets and studied them, to take
the measure of the man, and elabo-
rated his speech which was ready,
the most of it a year beforehand ;
and when at last Hayne did make
the assault, it was in answer to a
short speech of Webster's; and all
Washington rang with the boast of
Southern men that they had over
thrown the "Northern Lion" "
The triumph lasted but for a day.
Webster's reply was probably the
greatest forensic triumph that ever
occurred in American history; and
it had an effect on our public policy
and on the doctrines which have
now had their elimination on the
battlefield, more than any other sim
gle influence that ever was exerted.

WHAT HAVE TILDEN's DETRACToRs DONE
Such patriotic liberality on the part of Mr..
Tilden and his associates of the Trenton Iron
company, you may safely believe, was emu
| lated by none OF the men who are SO loud in
his detract,on. 1t would, think, be difficult
TO find one of them who in the essential at
tributes of good citizenship is worthy to un.
| loose the latchet of his shoe. Ii II were ne
cessary could go on multiplying instances
and evidence in support OF my avermcnt to
YOU, the. on my personal Knowledge the
charge of disloyalty against Mr.. Tilden is I'M
true. and have no doubt all the other charges
made against him are equally untrue, for they
are inconsistent with the high character
which he has borne through a very long and
active business life, and with the cordial
friendship and esteem OF so many good men,
who would scorn instead OF respecting him II
he were the calculating villain which his po-
lilical enemies paint.
So abhorrent to the sense OF justice and TAR
play is the deliberate defamation of an up
right and respectable man that 1t is only pos
sible to person of average sense and morals,
who is laboring under the bewildcring intlu-
ence of tear and dread of sonic impending
calamity, and hopes by such means to avert
the threatened catastrophe. The unexpected
nomination of Mr. Tllden, who had shown
himself, by his admirable reform administra-
ton of the government of New York, to be
the foremost, bravest, and most skilliul and
foe in the land TO pub
lie plunderings, was an occasion which
presented such an overpowering motive to
an influential body of men, the following OF
the Credit Mobiier, Pacific Mail, crooked
whisky, Indian-supply, post-lrader land
grant, naval.contract, and a host OF other
rings, who see in MIR. Iilden's election the
sure porent of swift destruction, personal
punishment, and degradation. - ....

We believe the tact is indisputable that, in
scores of instances, individuals possessing in
tellectIal powers of the highest grade and
who, while abstractedly occupied in the dis
cussion OF any topic, carry on the process Of
atent ratiocination with equal facility and
eXactness, are no sooner subjected TO the or.
deal of conversation or "talkn (as Johnson
was wont to call NJ, than, almost on the in
slant, they seem to part with their seli.pos
session, painfully betraying, IN their disjoint,
ed and obscure remarks, the wide and lament
able difference between merely oral and med
itativc communication. We can conceive of
nothing more annoying, to an individual con.
sclous OF possessing superior mental endow.
ments-conscious (as Goldsmith was, for in
stance that he could "argue best in his clos
ethan the modification which is so apt to
await an individual Of this description in his
colloquial intercourse or encounters with men
of much interior mental endowmens to his
own, but possessing much greater presence
of mind.
We cannot help the surmlse that vanity ex-
erciSeS no inconSiderable influence in bring
ing about the very modification We allude to-.
Vanity, of course, bege,s a Constant, nay
eager desire to excel; and not only to excel,
but, by means of mans writings or CONVEX
satlon las the case may be chance to be), to
of readers and listeners alike. Now CONVEX
sation, next to authorship, constitutes the
choicest arena possible for intellectual dis
play, it follows that to shine in converse
uon," no matter who may constitute your
audience, is an achievement quite as crafty
ing to ones vanity as any other display. But,
alas and alaCkaday! among authors who have
earned immortality by their writings (of
course we make an exception IN the case OF
public speakers who have become authors,
how " few and far between have been those
who could lay claim to the merest distinction
Ito say nothing of Immortality on account of
their conversational ability. Johnson, we sup
pose, was the great exception; and there have
been, we rather think, a few others whose
names will probably occur to the reader with
out any mention on our part. Now to talk
of Johnson being actuated by vanity in his
determination to 2cld the conversation, IN
whatever company he might find himself,
would, it appears to US, involve a miSROtner.
Johnson did not know what vanity really
was, although he defines 1t in his dictionary.
Downright arrogance he knew perfectly well
the meaning of, and did not fail, on any &C.
caslon or in any company, to bring it to bear
upon the indiscreet individual who might
prove rash enough to dispute his literary au.
thority.
Enough of the great photographer; and
now, by way OF moral and as bearing upon
the few desultory remarks we have above in
dulged in let us advise our younger readers
those intellectually given to do battle against
vanity and self-conceit, as being the bane of
genuine merit, wherever the latter becomes

Mr.. Milton Sayler, the Speaker pro tenn. of
the present House of Representatives, and
the Democratic candidate for Congress from
one of the Cincinnati districts, made speech
in that city last Wednesday week. We take
the following from the Cincinnati CONNER
cidrS report:
ut does not need an elaborate analysis of
the successful financial measures OF the Re
publican administrations TO show how stead
lily and consistently they have studied the
interests of the moneyed few against the pro-
ducing masses and pursued policy which
has tended to make the rich man richer and
the poor poorer. With the greater part OF
the FACTS upon this subject you are familiar.
You know how, IN the nations peril, 1t be
came necessary to issue Our greenback cur
reucy, and with what ruInous results. This
currency was at the very outset dlscredited
when the government refused TO leave II in
Interchangeable with bonds and TO receive it
for duties on imports; and we know that IL
was the fact that the greenback was not then
made TO perform all the functions which
money could perform within our borders,
which rendered possible the ultimate depre
citation that cost the country so dear by en-
HANGING the prices Of the material and sup
plies required fer the war, anu enabling buy
ers to obtain our collaborating bonds at from
forty To sixty cents on the dollar. You know
how the capitalists OF the East, finding them
selves by the accident OF the great civil war
and the necessity for national selfpreserva-
ton, deprived OF the profitable business of
drawing interest on the peoples money, cir
culating from hand 10 hand, cUnlrived the
national banking scheme, by which through
the substitution of an inferior kind of paper
currency, they were enabled to draw interest
on their bonds, and also reap the profit on
S3Je,UOO,O 0J Of paper circulation. You know
how, in 1869, the promise printed upon the
grecnback, in the language of the act which
created il, that il should he receivable for
all dues, public and private, excep, duties
on imports and interest on the public debt"
was deliberately repubated in what, by a
frighiful mOckeiy, was called AN act to-
strengthen the public debt" This was the
culmina,Ion OF course of legislation by
means of which, through the instrumuntaliiy
of the bonds, the national banking system,
the compound interest notes and the final re-
pudia,iOn of the contract by which the bonds
were made payable in the same currency
they were sold tor, an enormous sum OF mon
ey was wrested wrOngiully from an Overbur
dened people. This Is the career of spolia-
ton carried out under cover of the war; by
the party which falsely claims exclusive
credit for a contest which was fought by Den
ocrais and Republicans alike"

question, discussed the double standard and
