year of his age, after having beeu for M ore
than sixty years in official employment,
beginning as q legation attache and end
ing as chancellor of the Russian empire.
Virtually his last service to his soyer-
eign was rendered in the congress Of the
powers in.Berlin in 1873, at the close OF
the Turc Russian war; and the issue OF
that memorable congress is evidence that
the intellect of the 0ctogenarian was then
as keen as that Of the great statesman
with whom he was brought in contact.

A New Story of Lincoln.

General Dahlgreu, brother of the
admiral, tells the following: 81 remem-
Der we'll story ny brother told me of
MIR. Lincoln and Secretary Stanton,
which is illustrative, l think, Of the
different views held by them in regard
to the settlement of the war. One day,
as Mr.. Lincoln and my brother were
about to go to dinner, and while the
president was washing his hands, Sec
retary Stanton entered excitedly, with
telegram in his hand, and said: Mr..
President, [ have just received dis
patch from Portland thst jake Thomps
son is there waiting to take the steamer
to England, and I want to arrest him.
The President began to wipe his hands
on towel, and said in long, drawling
voice: Better let hin slide
But, Mr. President said Secretary
Stanton, this. man is one Of the chief
traitors-was one of Buchanan's cabi-
net, betrayed the country then and has
fought against it ever since. He should
be punished FW-e-l-l,' said the
President, IF Jake Thompson is salts
fed with the issue of the war, am.
Better let him s-l-i-d-e.'
"'Such men should be punished to
the full extent of the law; said Stanton.
why, if We don't punish the leaders
of the rebellion, what shall we say to
their followers?"
sB-e-t-te-r let him slide, Stanton,
said the President, laying aside MS
towel.
"Mr. Stanton went away, evidently
annoyed, and Mr.. Lincoln, turning to
my brother, said: Dahl, that is one OF
things I don't intend to allow. When
the war is over l want 10 stop, and let
both sides go to work and heal the
wounds, which heaven knows are bad
enough; but jogging and pulling at
them is not the best way to heal q
sore.'"
And the old general, turning to his
work, said with sigh: off that policy
had been carried out, tie wounds would
have been healed long, long ago."

The Mechanism of Mans Body.

Though intricate and delicate, is yet substan-
tial enough to resist many of the assaults made
upon it by its possessor. Over indulgence in eat
ing, repeated alcoholic excuses. and ether foles
sometimes fail to overthrow a vigorous constitu-
tion at once, but if kept up in spite of the warn
ings nature gives, they eventually sap it. Their
prudent discontinuance. combined with the use OF
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, often repairs the
damage they cause, and digestion, nerve tran
guilty, appetite and repose are often re-estab-
ished upon the former basis of health by the use
of the great restorative, in conjunction with q
rational attention to sanitary laws. This leading
medicine cures fever and ague, rheumatism, dy s
pepsia, constipation, and other inorganic mala-
dies. None but the purest and most salutary in
gradients enter into its composition.

SchelIer's Trial Postponed.

MILWAUKEE, March 13.-Te-day was
the first Of the March term of the mu-
nicipal criminal court, and the term
was postponed for two weeks, owing to
the district attorney being busted at
the circuit court. Messrs. Ebbets and
McKenney, counsels for Scheller, ap-
peared Ia court and asked that day
be set for his trial. In view of the
crowded state of the docket and the
limited time, it was decided that the
case be put off until the April term,
when it is set for trial first. The mat
ter Of bail is being agitated, but his
friends and attorneys say they have
sundry reasons why they would just as
soon allow him to remain in jail for
the short time now before his trial.
Scheller expressed himself as greatly
disappointed at the postponement.
The matter of whether he will accept
bail is still an uncertainty.
