Aratu,er,s Advice.

"Col. George Mason, of Virginia, made the
following remarks in his will, which ought
to be considered a legacy to the nation
recommend to my sons, from my own ex-
perience in life, to prefer the happiness Of
independence and . private station to the
trouble and vexations of public business,
but If either their own inclinations, or the
necessity of the times should engage them
in public affairs, / charge them ON fathers
blessing never to let the motives of private
interest or ambition induce them to betray,
nor the terrors of poverty and disgrace, or
of death. deter them from asserting the
liberty of their country, and endeavor to
transmit to their posterity those sacred
rights to which themselves were born"
The above was clipped from Fredricks'
burg paper in 1853. Col. George Mason was
one OF Yirginia's most distinguished sons,
He was the author of the famous Bill Of
Rights passed in the Legislature of that State
in l79s. Can't. Alexander S. Hooe and

An Interview with DR.. Bliss.

DR.. Bliss talks hopeful as ever this after
noon. His manner is that of tired man.
He is nervous with loss of sleep and seems
anxious as we'll. When asked how the
President was doing to-day he said:
Getting along evenly"
He is not better, then ?"
Cant say that he is, but he is holding
his own 2"
"You feel sure of that?"
"Oh, yes; he is quite as well as yester-
day. ,,. ,,,,.. ,.,.v !. - not ,y
about the same, think"
" But the pulse Is higher"
"Four beats don't mako much difference.
The least thing will cause that much fiuc-
tuation. / took it just II few moments ago
and it was 10i again"
How is the wound d0ing" lLl
Every nicely. The pus is adequate and
good, and the channel is improving. The
old channel has healed so as to cover up
the broken rib. The wound is about out of
the race now" .fLL
"And how about the stomach ?"
"That seems to be doing well. He took
four ounces of cruel few minutes ago."
"What, then, is the disturbing element
in the case just now?'
"The gland. If we were rid of that
trouble we would have plain sailing"
"Do you get much pus from it?
GA little more Just came out in changing
dressings. You see we could get as much
pus from an incision in one place as, an
other. The inlamed gland covers 1
surface of two or three inches, and contains
little pockets of pus. The walls of thes'
cells must DO broken down by suppura
ton before the incision made can act as
thorough drain This may take four o
five days. Meanwhile, much improvement
in general conditions cannot be expected
