UnsalarIed Foreign Ministers.

Without intending to do so our corre-
spondent tx, whose communication is pub
lished in another column, makes very
forcible argument against the maintenance
OF salaried Ministers ut second rate Euro
pean capitals. We indorse all that '.X"
says in praise of General Meredith Read.
He has served his country we'll and faith
fully in various posts Of honor abroad, and
is entitled to all the good opinion our COR
respondent has OF him. That so excellent
representative should be willing to serve
without pay is not, as TX" would have us
believe, IN argument for paying salary,
but the best reason in the world for not
paying one. General Read is the type Of q
class OF cultivated and honorable men who
would deem it a high distinction to be
called upon to represent their country in
entirely irrespective OF salary or emolu-
ment. Such men would carry to their pc
sitions not the narrow and mercenary SEN
timents which paid clerk bears his en-
ployer, hut the zeal and disinterestedness
OF high-minded' patriots. General Read is
bright example of this class. Mr.. Bel
mont, Mr.. Beach Lawrence, Mr.. O'Conor
and Mr.. Longfellow we take to be others
who would represent their country at the
great foreign capitals in on equally disin-
terested and efficient manner. No doubt
there are hundred others, of means sufi-
cient to support the dignity of Minister'S
station, who would be willing and glad to
be sent abroad simply for the honor at
taching to official service. We think that
upon reflection tx" will coincide with us,
and we hope Congress will perceive the
common sense and fitness of economizing
in this direction and not by reducing the
army and navy.

The WEAHER.-As the depression was
moving over the lake regions on Tuesday night
subsidiary centre of disturbance was devcl-
opcd in the Missouri Valley. This low area in
creased rapidly size, and toward yesterday
morning dominated the weather in all the dis
tricts west OF the Mississippi River. 1t is now
advancing through the central valley districts,
but rs yet no precipitation attends its move
mcnt. The northern disturbance passed over
the st. Lawrence Valley districts and has now
moved into the ocean OIL the coast
of Nova Scotia, attended by heavy
snow and followed by rapidly increas-
ing pressure. Tho barometer is highest
In the South Atlantic and Eastern Gulf States,
where clear weather generally prevails. Snow
Is reported in the lake regions and the North
west. The winds have been brisk over the
lakes, central valley districts and the Rocky
Mountain regions, and fresh to light elsewhere.
The temperature has risen considerably through-
out the country, except in the Northwest. where
1t is falling slowly. The approaching disturb
ancc will probably reach our district today nc.
coinpauicd by light rains aud increasing winds.
1t will he followed Oh Friday by
colder winds aud clearing weather. The
stormy weather continues over the British
Islands, MS will be seen by our special cable.
The anxiety for the safety of those vessels sup
posed to be caught by the tempest in the chan.
ncls is only natural. because when ship is on
the broad ocean there is far less danger in O
storm than when she encounters gale in mar
row passage with rocky coasts on either side
The storm is likely to continue for few days
The weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will be cool and cloudy, possibly with light rain
In the early portion, followed by clearing. To
morrow twill be colder and partly cloudy OF
fair.

THERE WAS Row in the democratic family
in the House of Representatives at Washington
yesterday, the root of the trouble being the
favorable report made by Mr.. Hooker, of
Mississippi, upon claim for supplies to the
Union army during the war. Mr.. Bragg, a
Western democrat, saw in the bill precedent
for the payment Of war claims generally, and
as such vehemently opposed it, After some
sharp expressions all around the storm finally
blew over. In the Senate Mr.. Blaine spoke
earnestly in opposition to free ships and, rs
may be expected, in favor of heavy subsidies to
pecan lines.

THE MEANEsr MAN IN THE WORLD.

of all the mean characters that have
come under our observation, the meanest Of
all is the dyepeptic cynic, to whom grumb-
ling has become a second nature. The
weather is always too hot or too dry the
meat is too rare or too thoroughly cooked,
too fat or too lean-in short he grumbles at
every thing from his coffee, to congress. He
is always in want of something he has not,
and forever discontinued with whatever he
has. Contrariness is his distinguishing
trait. If his wife desires to spend the eve
ming with a friend he insists upon staying
at home. He warns all his bachelor
friends to beware of matrimony. His
brain is so full Of whims and crotchets,
there is little room for reason or .ense. But
the dyspeptic cynic reaches the acme of
dissgreeableness when a diseased liver has
supplemented the srumbling by ~hypochon.
dria. Then the slightest unpleasant cir.
cumstance is magnifed into something
momentous and terrible. The victim be-
comes distrustful Of his best friends, and all
sorts Of imaginary evils haunt the weaken
ed brain. THE picture Is not overdrawn,
as thousands of homes can attest-homes in
which domestic happiness and harmony
have been wrecked by-nothing more than
a dyspeptic and chronic disease of the liver.
Given q sound stomach and a healthful
liver and the results will almost invariably
be health and q cheerful temper. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets are unfsiline

stomach and liver. Druggists mark them
