Political Notes.


1t seems to be conceded that tne Dem
ocratic nominee for the next Presidency
will be selected from the North, and at
tention has lately been called to some
of the "favorite sons" of New Jersey,
as available candidates for the nomina-
ton of 1880. Three distinguished names
have been mentioned in this connection,
Gov. Mcclellan, Senator Randolph, and
Ex-Gov. Joel Parker, either one of which
would command a large popular vote,
and, if elected to succeed Mr.. Hayes.
make very capable and efficient Chief
Magistrate. It's about time the North
had the Presidency. Since the adoption
OF the constitution in 1889, there have
been nineteen Presidents Q6 by the
will of the people and 3 by the will Of
God) Of these, the West has furnished
Z, the South 6, New York 2, Massachu>
sets 2, and New Hampshire and Penn>
sylvania one each. New Jersey does not
figure in this list, although IF Henry
Clay had been elected in 1914 and had
died in Office, one of her eminent sons,
Theodore Frelinghuysen, would have att
tanned the Presidency. We recommend
the next Democratic National Conven>
ton to designate New Jersey man for
its standard bearer, and, if he is elected,
the North will then be even with the
South in the number of Presidents it has
produced. But the Republicans seem to
take it for GRANT ed that the West will
retain its lease of the White House for
another ternl Perhaps SO, but, as the
boys say, "you can't always sometimes
TELL"
In answer to Enquirer" as to "who is
the oldest member of the United States
Senate" we are in doubt whether he
means the oldest IN gears or in service
Hannibal Hamlin, Of Maine, is probably
the most venerable Senator, but FL. B.
Anthony, of Rhode Island, has been
member of the Senate continuously since
1859, and at the expiration of his pres
ent term in 1883, will have served TWEEN
tY-four years, an unusually long period
for one man to fill that exalted position.
Thomas H. Benton, of Missouri, was
Senator for thirty years, and perhaps Mr..
Anthony will enjoy that distinction also,
as he is the "boss" of Rhode Island po-
litical affairs, and through his paper, the
Providence Journal, influences a large
constituency. His colleague, Senator,
Burnside, is serving his first term and al
ready has achieved the proud distinction
of being the "best dressed member of
the Senate, and the "Adonisn of that
august assembly. Next question
Congressman Pound of Wisconsin, has
prepared and will introduce at the ear
lest opportunity joint resolution pro-
posing an additional amendment to the
Constitution, providing that the Presi-
dent shall be elected for the term of six
years and be thereafter Ineligible, and
that members of Congress be elected for
the term of three years.
Gen. Grant for President and Senator
Blaine for President, is the latest
combination. This would be strong
team for the race of 1880, but some, the
New York Sun for one, would prefer to
see the names reversed
Henry Ward Beecher received four
votes for Mayor of Brooklyn at the recent
election, Theodore Tilton received one,
and Thomas G. Shearman one.

of the Figaro, that she is now residing at
the Chateau de Bouchout, in Belgium.
Her physical health is excellent, and
her madness has taken the gentle and
saddening form of persistent melancholy.
When shespeaks she never by any chance
makes use of the words 81" or "me," but
says "on" or "nous"-that is, "they" or
"we." "0n veut ceci ou cela," is her
way of expressing her wish for anything.
She will often talk of "norre chateau"
never of ..mon chateau" In dress she is
faithful to sombre colors and very COM
mon materials, except at dinner time,
when she makes an elaborate toilet.
Court ceremonial is observed at
the repast, and the Queen
of Belgium frequently keeps her
company. Music, embroidery. and paint
ing occupy most of this luckless lady's
time at Couchout; and, when these re-
sources tire, she turns sometimes to the
pen. Several volumes of travel written
by her have been printed, and distribu-
ted to friends, with an photographed
dedication. Noone. says the correspon-
dent, who beheld her calm existence,
would believe through what terrible
things she has gone. No one, seeing her,
could associate her with the dreadful
events which came upon her and made a
wreck of her hearts hopes, her happiness,
and her reasonl HARRY MELTzER.

guilty of offering worthless substitutes for

its full name, and take no other.

G. N. CRITTENToN, EsQ.-Dear Sir: have
travelled for three years for Messrs. Charles
Scribner's Sons, Publishers, New York. and
desire to inform you that have used your
incompatible "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" ex.
clusively for about four years; also have
recommended it to very many persons, and
my constant experience has been that it
possesses all the medical advantages that
you claim for it. All to whom have re-
commended it say, as we'll as myself, that
1t deserves its established reputation as the
best and most efficacious Sulphur Soap that
can be used for all skin cleansing, as we'll
as toilet purposes Some unprincipled
drug store keepers have endeavored to sub.
stitute other kinds of Sulphur Soap for
Glenn's-saying they were "just as good"
but having myself tried other kinds md
none are so good or so beneficial as the
genuine Sulphur Soap stamped Glenn's,"
which also have learned to observe always

Bismarck's FavOrite Residence.

Varzin, the favorite residence Of Prince
de Bismarck, is in Pomerania, the castle
and it's grounds being situated about two
and half miles from the little town of
Schlawe. The Imperial Chancellor pur-
chased it for 100000 thalers in 1867.
Baron de Blumenthal, the late owner of
the estate, had converted large expanse
Of waste ground into artificial pasture
land and introduced various other i'm
proyements. Large forests, rich in game
of all kinds, including deer, and hand
some park, are likewise attached to the
domain. The Prince himself is no sports
man, but his sons spend much Of their
leisure in shootingover the grounds. Two
telegraph wires connect Varzin with Ber-
lin, and clerk is specially engaged to
attend to the Chancellors dispatches at
his country seat. Prince de Bismarck,
before. the Franco-G German war, had SO
many distinguished guests at his resi-
dence that some of them were compelled
to stay at the village inn. Since then
the castle has been enlarged, and affords
ample accommodation for visitors.

her head resting in her mothers lap,
heard her tell the story of her fathers
death, their flight from their beautiful
home in France, of their struggles and
hardships, and their utter loneliness, and
smiled when Ralph Bertram gave his
hand and begged them to accept his
friendship.
The Art Gallery was crowded, and all
