The Diminative Statesman.
New York Star


The following anecdote OF Hon. Al
exander FL. Stephens is an amusing il
lustration OF the surprises which Of
ten await people who reckon intellect
by personal size.
The statesman has had to bear the
consequences through his whole life
OF slight form and a boyish look,
but these deficiencies have had most
ly only an amusing and sometimes an
agreeable effect. In the earlier part
OF his career, great commercial
convention OF many states was held
at Charleston, South Carolina, and
Mr.. Stephens having been asked to
make the great speech of the occasion
consented to do so. His fame had al
ready extended beyond the country
In which he lived, and expectation
was greatly excited at his arrival.
To avoid the crowds at the hotels
he asked two merchants, who were Of
the party. to engage him rooms at the
hotel where they were to stop, and in
due time he arrived with them. The
lady who kept the house. In great ex-
citement, was engaged in looking out
for the guest, who was Of as much
consequence, as president. But he
had come. In the meantime the
tired statesman had thrown himself
on lounge for the purpose OF repose,
and his two friends stood near him.
The lady hustled in, and seeing, as
she supposed, country lad. who had
come to see the sights and hear Mr..
s ephens. actually Occupying the best
place, and his shoes also on the sofa,
she said with great kindness and
some firmness:
MY son. you should let the gentle
men have the best place, put your
feet on the floor. for We are trying to
keep things nice for the great Mr..
Stephens.
When one of the laughing mer-
chants pointed TO the smiling boy,
with his wonderful eyes, and said,
This is the Hon. Alexander II. Ste-
pheDs, madam" and he arose and
gave her his hand, and the express
sion on her countenance was q SUBJ
ject for .Hogarih.

Shipping Harry Meredith In her heart
OF hearts, had never dreamed OF the
possibility Of such good luck being
in store for her.
That evening she told her cousin
Rachel listened in silence. The prize
had been very near her grasp once,
but somehow it had slipped away.
II think you must be mistaken,
Ruth she said. acrimoniously. Il
think Mr.. Meredith never would"
She checked herself, for at that in
stant the DO opened, and Harry
Meredith was announced.
"Well Rachel." he said pleasantly,
"are you ready 10 congratulate me
upon the sweet little wife 1 have
won?"
Rachel muttered one or two for
NAL sentences, but she was very pale
Meredith observed her with a smile
Ruth, he said, turning With a
smile, Il have something TO show
you"
He put a thin parcel in her hand
She opened it. and out fell a pair OF
worsted gloves.
She Looked wistfully into his face
then the whole tide of memory came
back upon her heart.

that the ship freighted with all her
hopes had drifted away. when it was
so near the haven.

Ruined by politics" says an ex-
change OF an individual. Well, he
was not worth saving. The probabil-
tiles are that he was ruined by very
little politics and good deal strych-
nine whisky. There is no more rea-
son why man should be ruined by
politics than by any other honorable
employment. Politics should be
studied by every man, and every man
should be a politician. A man who
lives in America aud thinks so little
OF his privileges, and cares 80 little
for discharging his duty as TO pay no
attention To politics, should be at
once banished TO some country where
his associations and opportunities
will educate him. Such men, how
ever good, socially. morally, and re-
ligiously, are barnacles, and set per-
nicious example. Political freedom
lies at the basis OF everything good
that we enjoy, aud we are tired Of
nearing the kid gloved gentry refus-
ing to take part ia the grand work Of
infusing an honest spirit into politics
because OF the communicating influ-
ence OF bummers. They are terribly
afraid OF being ruined by politics.
We want the thinking, honest, moral
element TO be heard at the ballot box,
and the man who lives and enjoys
the influences Of our benign institu-
tions, and fails tC make his influence
felt. commits grievons blunder il not
a crime.-Inter- Ocean.

Commenting on the lawlessness in
Breaihitt county, KY, the Louisville
Courier -Joarnal says: "One OF the
charges against Breathitt is that the
tail Of parsons horse is never safe
there. While the good man is ex-
pounding the gospel. his horses tail
Is shaved. The parson whose horse
is not thus treated must needs hitch
the faithful brute near the window,
that the clerical eye may see what is
going on outside as well as within
the church. This charge may lack
truth, but it would be well IL nothing
worse had ever carried the name OF
Breathitt to the furthermost parts Of
the State"

Symptoms Of Diseased Liver.

DAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of mem
ory. accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes An
attendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton OF the skin; his spirits are low
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough TO try IT. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. McLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinile, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease 10 give them FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
4 simple purgative, they are unequaled.

Purchase Of Relics Of Gen. washington

WASHINGTON, July 26.-During the last
session of Congress the subject OF the pur-
chase of certain relics of Washington, in the
possession of E. W. Lewis and others, was
presented to the House Committee on ApprO-
priations, and the subject was referred, with
the papers, to the Secretary OF the Interior,
with the request that the Commissioner Of
Patents examine the character and value Of
the relics, and the propriety and advisability
of the purchase.
Commissioner Spear visited Virginia, and
examined the relics in May last, and submit
ted a report, which was transferred to the
Committee on Appropriations, and clause
inserted in the sundry civil appropriation
bill, as follows:
"For the purchase Of relics of George
Washington, from the Lewis family, of Clark
county, Va, the purchase to be made by the
Secretary of the Treasury at a cost not to ex-
ceed S 1000.
In accordance with the above Secretary
Sherman made the purchases, and the articles
reached this city yesterday. Having noplace
for their exhibition or even storage in the
Treasury building, and deeming that the office
where other relics are kept was q suitable
place, the Secretary addressed note to the
Secretary Of the Interior, asking that depart
ment to assume their custody, and the relics
were delivered there last evening. Owing to
the present crowded and disarranged cOndi-
ditiOns of things on account OF the recent fire,
they will not at once be put on exhibition.

THE ICE SUPPLY.

reporter Of the DEMOCRAT yesterday
learned, and the information came from q re-
liable source, that the following named ves-
sells, loaded with ice, are n0w on the way to
this city, and are due at any time:
For Crescent City Ice Company-Ship An
drew Jackson, 1900 tons.
Schooner J. M. Haskell, 600 tons.
Schooner Bennington, 600 tons.
For j. r. Warner-Ship Zephyr, 400 tons.
1t was further learned that the ship Scream
er is now ready to sail from Bath, with full
cargo, and that several others will follow in a
few days.
The ice combination have given us a reason
for the enormous increase in the price of the
article, the small quantity on hand, fears Of
a total consumption of the supply, and the
consequent necessity to prevent this, of inn
porting the article by rail.
1t is generally believed that there was q
sufficient amount in the city to meet the de-
mand until one Of the port-bound vessels
reached here; but be that as it may, the ar
rival Of one Of the vessels above mentioned
will be anxiously looked for, and the action Of
the combination after it's cargo reaches port
will be watched with interest.
