THE Alexandria Gazette trusts that
with the shade of Babcock's soiled
skirts still clouding the integrity Of
the executive, with the exposure and
downfall of the secretary of war, and
with the minister to the court of St.
James recrossing the ocean to explain
nefarious transactions before the bar
of public judgment, the day must be
close at hand when the people will
rise up in their might and shake off
the incubus that is upon them when
the Augean stables shall be cleansed,
and when the vultures who now are
plucking out the vitals of an almost
PROSTATE nation will become the prey
of the avenging Nemesis of insulted

LAMAR.

There is probably no member of
either House in whom democratic
senators and representatives have more
confidence than in Lamar, of Missis-
sippi-no man whose counsel is more
frequently sought and needed. The
republicans, also. not only respect his
unobtrusive wisdom and admire his
brilliant powers as an orator and de-
batter, but have kindly feeling toward
him, begotten BY his frankness and
generosity. They believe him to be a
truthful man, genuine peacemaker,
as he claims to be, anxious to see
both sections of the Union forget the
animosities of the past, and vie with
each other in their endeavors to
add to the prosperity and glory of our
common country. Lamar's influence
on the Southern delegations to the
Democratic Presidential Convention
will be deservedly great, and l feel
confident that he will use it conscien-
tiously to promote the highest inter-
ests of the whole country, without
reference to friendly preferences, Sec
tional prejudice, or personal aggran-
dizement.

mere change of les leaders can not be
productive of reform, and that change
of party is essential. The prevalence
of this feeling, among men who have
voted the Republican ticket for twenty
years was, my informant says, sur
prise to him. 1t is not because these
men have ceased to be republicans,
but because they recognize the fact
that their own party is rotten to the
core. They will not, however, vote
for democrat unless he be a man in
whose devotion to honest administra
ton of the government they will have
implicit faith. He must have no faint
of cliques or rings about him, but must
stand forth as a representative of the
whole people. What the country
needs is man in the Presidential
chair who will do for the Uuited States
what Samuel j. Tilden, the Democratic
Governor of New York, has done for
that State. Such man the Demo-
cratic Party must nominate, and he
will sweep the country. Who it will
be it is now too early to predict; but
the party must find a standard bearer
a0ho aCiH command The confidence of
the nation.

A London correspondent sends the
following curious intelligence: "The
will OF Mr.. Sampson, late city editor OF
worth fortune of 100000. Yet he
stated in letter after the trial which
led to such ruinous exposures OF him,
that he was "a poor man. 1t is a curious
but undoubted fact that he starved him
self to death. Many stories were afloat
about the strange manner Of his death,
but this is the true one. He lived fol
many years with his sister, to whom he
was attached to adegree seldom known
or read OF. She died few weeks ago,
and Mr.. Sampson refused from that
moment to eat anything whatever, and
in spite of all the persuasi0ns and re-
monstrances oil his friends and physi-
c. ans he perseyered in his determina-
lion, and SO died."
China has its big trees as well as Cali.

That Incompatible anti-dl speptic cordial,
carmiHative and appetizer, Hostetter's
Stomach Gittcrs, yields comfort to the I'M
easy stomach with a degree Of prOmpitude
most gratifying to the victim of indigestion.
The eradication of dyspepsia by the Bitters
is, of course, accompanied by the disappear
ance of every one of its multiariOus and
puzzling symptoms, among which may be
mentioned as the most prominent, heart
burn, fatulencc, abdominal oppression after
ca ing, and sinking at other times, paipita-
tons of the heart, water brash, vertigo,
sick headache and nausea. Hosteiter's
Bitters tone and regulate the various organs
which assist in the processes of assimila-
ton, secretion and evacuation, fortifY the
system against malarious fevers and develop
in the enfeebled system fresh stores OF
vitality. In efficacy, as in popularity, they
surpass any tonic or regulating medicine OF
the age.

Big Spiders.

The sands of the steppes of Central
Asia are the abiding-place of many
species of Ioathsome and poisonous
creeping things" Mr.. Schuyler
speaks of a phalange (SOIpugG GrGne-
oideS), one of the long-legged spiders
known popularity as the Harvestman,
or the Grandfather-Gr aybeard, which
has long hair, "and, when walking,
seems as large as ones two fists. y
This formidable beast is given to biting
when irritated, and with its jaws makes
four little holes in the flesh. The bite
is poisonous, though not deadly. Its
victim feels at first no more discomfort
than from the sting of gnat; but at
ter time, the pain spreads over the
whole body, and is accompanied with
fever and great exhaustion. A Chinese
officer states, in his travels in Turks
tan, that the body of the largest SOlpu-
gas is the size of butternut; and that
of the smaller ones, of a walnut. Spi-
ders of such dimensions, with their big,
hairy bodies lifted upon long, stout
legs, must be as frightful an adversary
as one would be likely to encounter in
any experience amid the haunts of wild
animals.
