JOHN G. THOMPsoN's attack upon
Hon. W.sD. Hill, because Hill saw fit to
support Leedom in preference to him,
is small potatoes indeed. Thompson
has been sucking the public teat SO
long that it was almost necessary to club
him off, before he would consent to let
60. Mr.. Hill voted the sentiment of his
constituency when he dropped John
G., as the people up in this neck of the
woods had become tired of him as q
boss.

THE Fillmore will case, in which
Mrs. Millard Fillmore's sanity is in dis
pute, recalls the fact, the Buffalo Er-
press says, that Mrs. President Lincoln
became insane before she died, and that
Martha Washington acted very queer
ly, shutting herself up in room at
Mount Vernon, without fire, for eigh-
teen months, and letting no one see her
except the cat, which came through a
hole which she cut in the door for this
purpose.

ANY soldier who has lost his discharge
papers can get duplicate by simply
writing to the Adjutant General of the
army at Washington, who will send
him blanks to sign and fill out. The
blanks will then only have to be filled
out and sworn to when duplicates OF
his discharge will be sent him. The
whole cost will be less than fifty cents,
and it is worse than throwing money
away to pay any claim agent five dol
lars to do what can be done easily by the
soldier himself.

THE New York Independent is out
with new idea, namely: That We
ought to have law to make voting
compulsory. The argument is that if
one has the right and omits to exercise
it, he shall, except in certain justifiable
cases, be subject to some species of for
feiture, either of the right of suffrage
for given period or peeuniary period.
AS the law eompels men to serve society
as Jurors, it is contended that the vot-
ing service Is not less important, and
the citizen who will not exercise the
right does not deserve to possess 1t.

ing, and there is the general opinion
that no mistake has been made. The
better Mr.. Carlisle and his character
and purposes become known, the great
er the confidence in the perfect safety
and wisdom Of his administration. Mr..
Randall takes his defeat easily, and
there is no doubt that his. usefulness as
a leader on the floor will be almost
equal to the service he might have rem
dered in the chair. The new Speaker
is tall man, with a slight stoop in the
shoulders. He has very large head,
high above the ears, with tremendous
indication of strength in his square
smooth-shaven jaws. His complexion
is sallow-the dead pallor of close stu
dent. His eyes are keen blue, deeply
set under bushy eyebrows. His nose is
a cross between Grecian and Roman.
His mouth is large and firm in its lines.
His hair is dark brown and is just be-
ginning to be thin upon the crown. He
wears the conventional loOse-fitting
broad-cloth suit worn by the average
public man. Heapparentlynever gives
single thought of what he has on, but
his appearance is always neat and the
very reverse of careless. He is very
simple and democratic in his manners,
but is never familiar with anyone. No
one would ever dream of taking lib
erty with Carlisle, while the humblest
would be at ease in his presence. He
is profound student of all political
questions and is nearly always at his
desk. At his rooms, when not engaged
in his active duties in Congress, he has
none of the arts of the politician, and
he has won the general recognition of
his bright qualities as statesman. He
is forty-eight years old and possesses a
modest fortune, although not sufficient
to support him without the income from
his law practice, which is considerable.

LOWELL, Feb. 3, 1879.
MEsSRs. C. /. HOOD & Co.: Gentlemen
About one year ago my daughter commenced
taking your Sarsaparilla. At that time. she
had very little appetite; could take no long
walks, and her face was badly broken out
with humor. She was low-spirited; troubled
with cold hands ,andfeet; her blood seemed
to be poor, and she was in condition which
caused us great anxiety. After taking one
bottle of your Sarsaparilla she began to i'm
prove; and she now has good appetite and
car take much longer walks. Her humoris
not hing compared with what it was one year
ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously And
| attribute this improvement in her condi-
ton largely to your Sarsaparilla. She has
taken six bottles, and intends to continue its
use: Twas inclined to oppose the trial of it
at first. now have great faith in it as
blood purifier Very truly yours.
