Mr. Froude in his recent life of Bunyan shows, says the London Spectator, ''that Bunyan was probably treated with much less severity than is popularly supposed; he was allowed every indulgence compatible with a restraint scarcely more than nominal, and which word from him could at any moment have brought to an end. Meantime. it had the accidental advantage of giving him time and leisure to produce the work which has made his name immortal. Bunvan's worldly circumstances were never otherwise than de- gently prosperous; Providence would seem to have so arranged matters for him that the whole energy of his nature could be given to an examination of the grounds of religious be- ief.n

ECZEMA OF THE HANDS Cured. Interesting Letter from a yvelI-
 known Attorney.

Editor New Orleans Picayune sir-since the fall of 1867 to the last three weeks have been troub led with eruption of the skin which the doctors by names, but which generally known by the name of Eczema or Salt Rheun The principal place of attack was my hands, which at tmes especially dur ing the winter time, very sore.
 At times the disease threatened to spread from my hands and enveop my whole body. Doctors have been consulted in Phiadelphis, Wellington, and in this city, with more success than temporary reliet, After considerable and much pain and suffer- ing had come to the conclusion that would, the saying goes, have to grin and bear it.
 About four weeks ago read in the Picayane the ad- vertisement of Cuticura, for sale by our weL-known druggist, MT Lyons. and resolved to try 1t. I pur- chased fftycent box and bafote half used the disease had completely disappeared and feel certain that mine is a permanent cure
 My object in sending you this letter to known to other sufferers the value Cuticura and thus ben eft, if ever so little, suffering humanity.
 Yours truly, P. P. CARROLL,
 Attorney and Counsellor at LaY. 3s Camp st., New Orleans, Dec. 25, 1878.

continue him in authority, and it is such con- alterations that have made limitation te a sin gle term seem at present to be desirable in the view of many. And aside from these req sons, if 8 party is to remain in power for IS or 24 years or longer, it would be found in all probability mora conducive to national welfare and unity to have the small changes of policy likely to occur under a new admins tration made possible, than to have the old fixed regime of single man and his special friends continue. As for dangers to the Con- stitution from any terms beyond third, es- pecially dangers from 8 military usurper cause, I do not spprehend very much. I am more in dread of the possibility of lawless re- sistance to elected magistrates.
 To conclude, as the first of all considera- tions in weight, would put the importance of adhering to habit self imposed and long acquiesced in. The State is like an individu- al. He has come (whether by happy accident or by wisdom) to lay down rules for himself, which in the experience of years have been proved, or believed at least to be important. But he breaks away from them, and now he has one help less against actions done without forethought. His accidental and changing will has got the mastery over his dellberats judgment.
 Suppose 8 citizen who was not stnatural born' should be by far the most available can- didate of party, would it be wise on general grounds to attempt to alter the Constitution in order to make him eligible? Even so to alter the national habit as to third term for 8 particular instance, unless in an extreme case, would be an injury to the stability of institu- tions supported mainly by opinion.

Secretary Sherman's declaration that if the Republicans of Ohio do not fairly and fully in their convention express their preference for him and support him with substantial unanimity in the national convention his name will not be presented to that convention with his consent, is very proper declaration for him to make. We shall be much surprised if the Republicans of Ohio do not support him.

Hon. Thomas III. Fletcher.

We see from the State press, and
also from private sources, that Hon.
Thomas II. Fletcher will probably
be q candidate before the Demo-
cratic convention for the office OF
Secretary of State. We arc glad of
this, because if our State needs any
thing at this time more than ano-
ther, it is to have the opportunity
of selecting from among her purest,
most unblcmished and ablest citi-
zens, the men who ore to serve her
in these dignlfied and responsible
positions. When this is the case,
the tone of public life Is improved
and elevated, and the best OF guar
antees given for the faithful execu-
ton of the laws. Judge Fletcher
is a man whose past life has cndear-
ed him to all the intelligent and pa.
trlotlc people of Arkansas. Prior
to the war, he served the State as
president of the Senate, and for a
time as Governor of the State, and
since then as q member of the
body, over which he once presided
with so much grace, dignity and
impartiality. Throughout the
whole of his public life, the honor
and welfare of our people were the
single objects kept in view by him,
and to which every motive of per-
sonal ambition WAS made subordi.
nate. But it is in his private char
acter as a man that we must seek
for the cause of his peculiar mag
netism. A noble and generous
heart; true in all of its impulses, is
the magnet that attracts and invites
the confidence Of all who meet him.
If We were called upon to select
our bear ideal Of the fine old Arkan-
sas gentlemen, we would at once
name Thomas Ii. Fletcher. Truth
and high-bred courtesy are written
in his face, and a nearer acquaint-
ance only confirms the good i'm
presslons which are sure to be made
on all who meet him. Hence, as a
public journalist, we welcome the
candidacy of such men, feeling con-
fident they afford the most reliable
guarantee for the future peace, pros
perity and well being of the State.
Should Col. Frolich fail to re-
ceive the nomination for Secretary
of State, we know Of no man whom
we would support with more zeal
than Col. Fletcher.

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 23, 1880.
Democratic quarrels are getting
to be cheerful and harmless diver
slons compared with the bitter fac
tional fights among our Republican
enemies. In regard to Pennsyl-
vania it is safe to say that the Blaine
men will cause q riot at Chicago
rather than submit to the enforce
ment of tho State Conventions
"unit" rule. New York, if any
thing, seems to be even a fiercer
battle ground among Republicans
than Pennsylvania. The Washing
ton friends of Senator Blaine say
that the Chicago delegates from
both States, however strong in
structions may be, will vote as they
please. If any one can figure out
a peaceful future for the Republi-
can party when the two most i'm
portant States-one of them nee
essary to Republican success-are
thus hopelessly divided, he has ways
of counting unknown to ordinary
men.
In view Of the promised and al.
most certain radical rupture in
Pennsylvania, the friends Of Gen,
Hancock are claiming that he
should be put further up or the list
of Democratic possibilities. Any
Democratic dissensions in Pennsyl.
vanla, it is claimed, would disappear
if Hancock should be nominated.
The Democratic National Com
mittee Is in session here. 1t will
select the place and decide upon
the time for holding the nominal.
ing convention. A ma orIty Of the
members are friends of Mr.. Tilden,
and this fact gives to st. Louis its
prominence as a proposed place OF
meeting. But there have been ru.
mors in the Hast week, and even
since the first committeeman arriv-
ed here, that the friends OF Mr.. Til.
den will insist upon nothing in the
preliminary arrangements, and that
Cincinnati would probably be
chosen.
Congress is in session to-day, but
only for short time. The day is
a general holiday-henco this short

Ordinary common sense ought to
teach an intelligent business man
that the very time to go out into
the highways and byways aftor GUS
toners is when customers are slow
to come to his counters of their
own accord. Strangely enough,
however, great many merchants
who know the virtue of judicious
advertising seem to think that the
moment q dull season comes they
must stop advertising. The fact is,
it is Just at such tlmos that this
same public is greedy for bargains,
and the merchant who Is prepared
to offer what they want should let
the fact be known. 1t is the time
of all others when it is possible to
get the largest returns from adver-
tising.
