Ben. HiIl's Case aOpelexs.

Senator Ben Hills family despair OF
his permanent improvement. 1t is re.
ported that his physician has told him
that the most he can promise iE that he
will live for six months. The Senator
has gone to the springs in Arkansas in
hopes of finding relict, taking surgeon
with him. Before he left Washington
intimate friends called upon him, but
were unable to see him, being told that
he was under the influence of morphine
and could not be disturbed. 1t is thought
to be significant that all his family, in.
Guiding two sons who are married have
gone with him; and his colleagues in
the Senate have little hopes of seeing
him ag in alive.
His disease has developed into an &C.
tive cancer of most virulent form, and it
has refused to yield to the most skillful
and vigorous treatment. After some
half dozen operations, the fourth of
which resulted in the complete reno va
Of the parotid gland, the patient has
experienced no relief, but has grown
steadily worse. 1t seems that the Sem
ator has had from the first but little
hope of favorable results from treat
ment, owing to the fact that he was
attacked by q disease which he inherit
ed from his ancestors and which has
carried off a brother, a sister and two
aunts, according to the testimony Of
members of the family.
The Senator's brother, DR.. Hill, died
of cancer of the stomach, and his sister
was attacked very much as he has been
by cancer in the cheek, both resulting
fatally. Should Mr.. Hill, as it is feared,
never be able to resume his place in the
Senate, the Democrats will lose one OF
the ablest men, who for generation,
has appeared in that body as the cham
pon Of their most ultra doctrine in the
science of statesmanship.

And though no others hear his knock,
You hear it well-you know you do.
And though it may be very wrong,
When pa is quite ignored by you,
You sing for him your sweetest song,
You cunning thipg-vou know you do.
And when he talks of other girls,
OF hateful Kate. and Jennie. too,
You fling at him your auburn curls,
You Jealous thing-you know you do.
He bushes deep and looks afraid.
To be thus left alone with you;
But your eyes tell there ne'er was maid
But could be wooed-you know you do.
You peep at some one meath yourcurls,
Until with love you burn him through,
And make him hate all other girls
In love for yo1-you know you do.

You give smothered. scream or two,
As if you didn't want it there,
But Oh, you do-you know you do.
You let him kiss your blushiag cheek,
Somehow your lips meet his lips, too;
You tempt him, pretty thing, to speak,
You wicked hi-t--you know you do.
And when he timidly doth press
His wish to make wife of YOU,
With happy heart you answer yes,
You darling girl you know you 40.
