The Eonaa Of Lords.

The House Of Lords Is composed Of
the Lords spiritual and temporal. In
the reign OF Henry III. l23 prelatcs and
onll 23 temporal lords composed the
House. At the time Of Henry VIII. the
spiritual aud temporal lords were about
equal In number, AT the present time
the spiritual lords are the Archbishop3
of Canterbury and York and 2i bishops
cf the Church of England. They are
lords of Parliament only, and not peers.
The lords Temporal are dukes marquis
cs, earls, viscOunts, andSbuons, whose
titles arc all hereditary. The title OF
duke was first conferred on Edward the
Black Prince, whom Edward III. creat-
cd Duke Of Cornwall. Marquscs were
originally lords of the marshes, or bor-
dcrs, ana derived their title from the Of
illces held by them. The first who was
created marquis was Robert dc We're,
earl of Oxford, In 1903. Earls were In
existence before the Conquest, under the
culdormcn. and to these lords the admin
istrntion of the shircs was committed.
After the Conquest they were called
counts, and hence the shires were called
counties. Viscounts were first created.
In the reign Of Henry W., aud the ute
of baron was In existence long before
the Norman Conquest. The number OF
lle House of Lords Is not limited. In
the reign of Henry VII. the temporal
pecH we're only 30; at the death of Ellz-
abclh they were increased To OOi me
Stunrts raised the number TO 100, Which
William III. and Queen Anne still fur
tbcr increased TO 1863. On the Union of
Scotland In 1907. 10 peers of Scotland
were added: and on the union of Ireland
I'm 1900, 2S peers Of Ireland. Since that
time numerous additions have been
made. 80 that at the presqnt time, In adj
litlon TO 20 lords spiritual, there are sit
tlup In the House of Lords b peers ofthe
blood royal, II dukes, 10 marquises, ll3
enrls, n yiscounts. $50 barons, Ii Scot
tlsh representative peers elected forcach

those who are in posilion to speak with
accuracy that the possessions of Gen.
Grant have been greatly depleted by his
very large expenses since he went out
of Office; that although certain of his
friends contributed literally towards
meeting the expenses of bis trip around
the world, he had TO draw upon his own
resources for good many thousand
dollars. Besides that he has lost consid-
'erabc money in some unfortunate min
ing speruations in which he invested
about the close Of last Presidential term,
and that the property remaining to him
yields an income Of hardly more than
$4,000 per annum.

HAMPTON REBUKEs THE SrALwARTs. -
The flag that now floats from the dome
above us is bright with It's galaxy of
stars, each radiant star representing a
great state, while the banner upon whose
azure folds they shine symbolizes not the
power alone but the unity of the people
of the great republic Each of us on
this floor, represents in part one state of
this mighty Union, but we must never
forget that we are senators of the United
States, representing all of these states in
their highest legislative tribunal. We
stand here, too, Oh common ground and
upon terms of perfect equality. Upon
this latter point some of our friends on
the opposite side of the chamber seem
to entertain doubts, if we are to Judge
from the language they sometimes in
dulge in, for that would seem to imply
that they regard us of the South as here
only Oh probation. / beg them to disa-
buse their minds of this delusion, if they
cherish it for the sooner they do so the
sooner shall we see here the courtesy and
the propriety that should always mark
our proceedings, and the better Will it
be for the whole country.

OF Justice Bradley it is related that he
was the eldest of eleven children brought
up on a scaDty farm in the interior of
New york. He inherited an affection
for mathematics, and conquered algebra
at home without teacher, in the inter
walls Of charcoal burning. When sixteen
years old, The Troy Times says, he met
in Albany a good natured man who
manifested an interest In the bright
faced, plainly clad boy. He asked him,
as men will, what he intended to make
of himself in life. The boy answered
with grave simplicity that he hadn't
made up his mind yet whether he would
be President of the United States or q
Judge of the Supreme Court! The gentle
man, not able wholly to conceal his
amused surprise at such towering ambi-
ton lurking under such homely jacket.
drew him out still further, and got him
to read aloud for him. He read with
such marvellous appreciation and iudg-
ment that his unknown friend told him
to go on to New York to hunt employment,
but to bend all his energies to getting a
thorough education. The young man
listened to his advice, and got school
to teach, studying during vacations.

he had never been corrupted by contact

for few minutes, the bishop interrupt
ed him with question, "Do [ under
stand that the brother thanks God for
his ignorance?" "Well, yes" was the
answer. ''You can put it that way, if
you want to-" Well, all 1 have to say, F"
said the bishop, in his sweet, musical
tones, sis that the brother has great

they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs OF the
BODY. and are so composed that obsruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
BODY, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not intiamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood.
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
