Charles Reade's Fatal Weak

Times.l

Tlmes.l
Chas. Reade had just recovered from
q serious illness. What do you think
had laid this intellectual giant low 2
Overwork, he said. Idleuess had re.
stored him. Five aud twenty years
hard work and no rest. That had been
his complaint. l happen TO know bet.
ter. Nj. Reade has bsen trying TO dig
his grave with his teeth. What was his
weakness? You will never guess. Hot
cakel Charles Reade likes cake for
tea and pudding for supper. The youth.
full craving for sweets has not yet de.
serted the veteran literateur. Simple
IN his life, simple IN his tastes, tea and
cake at last nearly did for the author OF
Christie Johnstoue. On Sunday night,
however, he was himself again, aud the
youngest men in the room contrived TO
get him into corners TO talk and chat.
Reade Is a pleasant, unostentatious,
agreeable man, the sort Of genial quiet
observer, who would be delighted with
America as much az he would dellgh,
his friends on the other side. lie likes
to talk Of visiting the United States,
but generally concludes with q sigh
aud the remark: All! | think I'm Toe

republican or democratic claimants.
And we called attention now to the
probability that these denunciations
will be uttered and this resistance
melted, for the purpose of cautioning
our readers against their influence.
The people Of this country are not in
terested in the welfare Of one politi-
cal party or the other, but in the
peace, happiness and prosperity Of
the country. President Hayes has
been elevated to the chiefmagistracy
OF administer the government for the
promotion of the general welfare,
and not to secure future political
triumphs to the republican, or de-
feats to the democratic party, and
we believe he will do his duty. This
involve what shall appear to be
may sacrifice of the interests
of the party which elected him,
but it will afford no reason why
the members if that party should
oppose his policy; or it may involve
apparent hardship to the democracy,
but still it will not justify abuse and
rebellion on the part Of that party:
He is responsible to the whole peo-
pie, and so long as he does the best
that can be done for their general
benefit, he is entitled to their gener-
GUS support and encouragement.

The St. Cloud Times calls Pres

There is nothing like tho simplicity dis
played at our American court, Mrs. Hayes

$500, and her evening robe $500-only
81 300 for three dresses. Think of that, ye
grasshopper suferers!--s Cloud Times.
And suppose they dc. can it give
them cause to comphin ? The
prices stated above are not GER
tainly very great for dresses for such
occasions, to one in Mrs Hayes
station. They are not equal to the
cost Of dresses worn by numbers Of
ladies in ordinary positi ons in life to
private parties. Again, if the
wealthy spend their money in dress
es, &c., the poorer classes are ad.
vantaged by it, inasmuch as this
creates a demand for labor
and affords channels through which
the wealth may be again distributed,
because it necessitates its payment
out to the people in the shape Of re-
numeration for their labor: t!

Washington Letter.

The Senate adjourned last Satur-
day, its two last acts being to con-
firm the Presidents appointment of
Hon. Fred Douglass to the Office of
Marshal for the District of Colum-
bia, and to authorize a committee
to investigate the legality of Gro
ver's" election to the Senate. The
committee was appointed, money
for its expenses appropriated, and it
is to sit during the recess. There is
much talk about all extra session
but nothing definite is known in re-
gard to it.
The chief interests of the politi-
cal world are now concentrated up
on the South Carolina and Louisia-
ma governments. Delegations and
petitions are continually pouring IN
upon President Hayes, but that gen.
tleman does not, in the least, com.
NIT himself although listening patti.
emily and respectfully to all CON-
plants and grievances. He simply
replies that he shall give the matters
referred to his most serious atten-
ton, and subject them to the fullest
examination, and that it is his inten-
ton to have the affairs settled as
soon as practicable.
The question is to be considered
by the Cabinet to-day, and it is very
generally believed that commits
sion, in an unofficial capacity, con-
sisting of Vice President Wheeler,
Mr.. Foster, OF Ohio, possibly Stan
ley Matthews, and probable some
others, will go TO New Orleans to
try to bring about a compromise,
based on the reorganization of the
Legislature and Of the vote of gov
ernor by it. Pending the efforts of
the rival claimants to settle the con-
troversy, it is thought by many that
the extra session of congress will be
called late in May or the very first
of June.
The public Of our city were treat

There were many ways and means
devised to attract patronage, but
not the least effective were the

Regular Secretion Essential TO
Health.

The regular secretion and flow of the
gastric juices, and of the bile which the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters pro-
NOTES, are effects which comduce matcri-
ally to the restoration of health, when the
system is disordered. Food is not digest
ell in the dyspeptic stomach because the
gastric fluid is deficient, sdperabundant
or vitiated the liver becomes congested
and the bowls constipated because the
supply of bile is inadequate or misdirec;-
ed. The Bitters rectities all this, and re-
moves every i'll consequence of nOn-as-
sanitation and bilious irregularity. Fur
thermore, it stimulates the action of the
Kidneys, by which impurities are, so TO
speak, strained from the blood, and any
tendency in the urinary organs to grow
sluggish and disordered counteracted.
Whether it be used rs a means of regulat-
ing the overloaded bowls, or to promote
complete, and therefore healthful, urina
ton, HOstetter's Bitters may be relied
upon with confidence to accomplish the
end IN view.
