a little girl lay dying with diphther;a few
days ago, and as her mother held her wrist and
noted the fainting and tickering pulse, smile
came to her wan face, az the child whispered:
give me 1fal'lday's Blood Purifier, it seems to
help me most" The bottle was placed within
her reach, and every time her throat became
dry and parched, she resortcd to the Blood
Purifier. The child is now we'll, and it is need
!eas to say in that family there is nothing like
Ha!liday's Blood Purifier.

PRIVATE LIFE.

Mr.. English is man OF action rather than
Of words. His efforts as q debater are more
remarkable for practical common sense than
Tor br,lliancy Of oratory, or the flowers of
rhetoric. His mind, strictly practical in oil
its scope and bearings, is eminently utilita-
rian. Energy Of character, firmness of pnr:
pose, and an answering integrity, are bid
chief characteristics. In personal inter!
course he il inclined to be retiring and re-.
served, which might be attributed to haught-
mess or pride by . stranger, but to an &C.
quaintanoe and friend he is open, candid and
afable. In the private and social relations
of life, he stands without q blemish and
above reproach." Asa business man he has
most valuable qualities. Without being too
cautious, he Is prudent and conservative.
He is above the average height, with an
erect, we'll made figure. His head Is of good
size, with regular features. The forehead is
high and broad. He ID digniaed and gen.
tlemanly in his manners and has pleasing
address With oil persons. His whole con
tour OF faos and person would ct once at.
traot favorable mention In any gathering.
Intellect, uprightness Of. character, self
reliance and zeal arc suggested by his ap-
peasanoe and made known In his deeds. A

He repulsed it and continued the fighting far
into the night, the contending forces firing
at each other in close quarters in the dark.
This battle of Hancook's WAS ono of the
grandest spectacles of the war, and will never
be forgotten by the army of the Potomac.
On the 28th Of June, 1862, Hancock was
heavily engaged at Garnett's Hill, as he was
ct Savage Station on the Goth and at White
I Oak Swamp on the 30th. His troops fought
four battles in as many days, and in every
one of them we're lead by Hancock in per-
: con. He never knew fear himself and could
not tolerate it in others. An officer, Who
had bis men in tight place, rode up to the
general and said: "General, my men are
all being killed; may I not withdraw them q
little out Of the hre?''

'can Conflict" the opinion is expressed tha.
this proposition OF Mr.. English could not
have been defeated on call Of the yeas and
nays, aud the author goes on to explain and
condemn the new and ingenious parliament
which cut off oil amendments but the SUBJ
stitution of the Senate bill for the bill of the
House. "Thus," says Mr.. Greeley, "sthe op.
ponents of the measure in tho House were
precluded from proposing any amendments
or notifications whatever, when it is moral
~ certain that, had they been permitted to
do 80, some such amendment as Governor
Ohase's or Mr.. English's would have been

fautry, $4,000 strong, were seen emerging
from the woods and advancing up the hill.
Hancock knew the artillery fire had been in
tended to demoralize his men and cover the
advance of their infantry, which was to make
the real attack. Turning his horse he rode
elowly up his line from loft to right, holding
s,is hat in his hsnd, bowing and smiling to
the troops Is they lay fiat on the ground.
Hardly had he reached the right of the
line when the men; who, inspired BY
the courage of their General could now
hardly restrain themselves, received orders to
attack the advancing rebels. Eighty guns
which Hancock had concentrated opened
their brazen mouths and streams Of blue
bullets few from tho muzzles of our rifles
10 the breasts Of the confederates. 1t was
an awful day and Longstreet's "Old Guard
of the South" melted away like wax under
that terrible fire. OF the 18, 600 who came
to the attack, 5000 fell or were captured on
the hillside. Thirty stand of oolors and an
immense number of small arms were
taken. Hancock was everywhere, riding the
storm of battle a. if he bore q charmed life.
At last. just in the moment Of victory, he
was seen to reel in his saddle and Would.have
fallen to the ground bad he not been helped
from his horse. A bali had pierced his
'hieh, and for time it was thought the
wound was mortal.
"Tell General Meade" said Hancock, ad-
]ressing his aide, Colonel Mitchell, ''that
he troops under my command have repuls-
ID the enemy and gained great victory.
The enemy are now flying in oil directions
n my 'front.'"
When the aide delivered this message to
General Meade and added his General was
dangerously wounded, Meade said: "Say to
General Hancock that am sorry he ia
wounded and that thank him for myself
and for the county for the services he has
rendered to-day"

IN the battle Of Gettysburg, said to General
&. G. Drum: mo commanding general ever

ton, and as certainly opposed TO extreme
and hasty legislation looking to forced re-
sumption. With regard to
gold aud silver % the
standards of value, and to the absolute nee.
essity of ultimate resumption, no man in
the country was more pronounced in his de.
clarations. The heresy of an irredeemable
paper currency found in Mr.. English an IN
compromising opponent-as a result his
financial record is1without blemish. Mr.
English presided over this bank over four.
teon years, to the entire satisfaction of the
stockholders, and then, in 1877, in the full
meridian of financial success, he resigned
the presidency and retired from active bust
ness, az he had years before retired from &C.
tive politics as an of1iceholder when in the
full tide of political success. Faithful to
every trust, he retained the good opinion of
associates then, a. he had Of his constitu-
ents when he retired from Congress.
The foregoing incidents Of an exception
ally active and successful life bring its his
tory down to 1877, when Mr.. English,
crowned with success in every undertaking.
with an honorable political and business ret.
ord and ut the very meridian OF his powers
sought the retirement of private life to enjoy
in quiet serenity the we'll earned trophies of
former years. But in this retirement Mr..
English was not unmindful of his country
nor neglectful Of the interests of the Demo-
cratic party.

Irregular Correspondence Of the FARE Parssl
New YoRx, Nov. 18th, 1880
OF course al of New York is more
or less excited over the appearance
of Sarah Bernhardt this week, and
she has no cause to feel disappointed
at her reception. Still, so far she
has hardly reached the artistic excel
lence that was expected, and many
of the criticisms are but comparisons
between Bernhardt and Klchel the
French actress who set New York
wild 25 years ago. One must be a
good French scholar to fully appre-
ciate her renditions, but she says she
finds as many French speaking per-
sons here as in London She has o
voice which, though it lacks the
depth and richness. Of Nelson's
splendid tones is maryelously clear
and firm, and Of the most silvery
quality. No one save those who
nave thorough acquaintance with
her native language can fully appre
ciate the perfect art with which she
uses this voice, but every one can
feel and hear it, and its effect upon
her audience is occasionally startling.
Mile. Bernhardt has q fawless pro-
nunciation, an enunciation that is SO
distinct that each syllable tells, and
each whisper is heard with the sharp
ness of q bell struck suddenly, u
method of infection not often en-
ployed upon the French stage. Her
gestures are somewhat nervous and
abrupt, and lack tragic breadth. She
has also O few marked mannerisms,
the most dsagreeable of which is a
habit of rolling her eyes. Her bear
ing in repose is graceful, with some
thing of the sinuous grace OF q
swan, but there are moments when
she lacks dignity, and her movments
are more picturesque than command

I'm GROWING OLD.

My growing thirst for carly news,
Ny growing apathy for rhymes,

I'm growing fonder of my staff,
I'm growing DINNER in the eye,

.Ah me! my very laurels breathe
The tale in my reluctant ears;
And every boon the hours bequeath,
But makes me debtor to the years.

The secret she would fain withhold,
And tell me in "How young you are!"

My sombre muse too sadly sings;
Thanks for the CLEANS of golden light
