Editor BromIey's story


When Nesmith was elected to the Sen
ate from Oregon, in the early part Of the
war, he had never been in Washington
never been east of the Rocky Mountains,
in fact, since he emigrated as a boy to the
Pacific slope to seek his fortune. He lad
never seen a railroad or a locomotive
until he struck the Panama road at the
Isthmus, and, as he described himself,
was 'green as squash" Upon reach
ing Washington, being too bashtul to
present his credentials and be sworn in at
once, he spent day or two looking down
upon that distinguished body from a seat
in the gallery. so as to get the hang of
things a little before he Ventured on the
floor. His diffidence wore of after a
little and his great fund Of anecdOte. his
fine vein Of humor, his frontier frankness
and originality of character and manner,
drew around him warm friends of both
parties. Standing one day in a group of
Senators who had been questioning him
concerning his adventurous life, Senator
Wilson of Massachusetts, said: 81 I'M
derstand, Senator, that you had never
seen a railroad until you came East, and
that everything of that sort in the way of
modern improvements was entirely new
to you. Now, / am curious to know what
struck you as being the most wonderful
thing that met your observation on this
side of the continent"
Nesmith hesitated a moment, then said
swell, spent my first two or three days
in Washington up there in the gallery,
looking at the Senate, and l think what
most filled me with wonder was the
thought that j, who went Off to Oregon
years ago a poor, uneducated boy, should
be here as member of the highest legis-
lative body in the country. That was my
greatest wonder"
''Well-but-I don't mean that ex-
actly," said Wilson, who was chiefly Curl
GUS about what mechanical contriyance
or invention had excited most surprise.
'but what after that most surprised
your
"Wel," said Nesmith. dropping his
serious manner and putting on a ouizzj-
cal expression, 81 think after the sensa-
ton Of surprise at being here myself.
what excited most wonder was how the

Mrs. Tyler, whose daughter was mar
ried at Richmond a few days since, is
resident of that city, where she has lived
pretty much all the time since leaving
the White House. She is, although a
native of New York, Southern woman
in habit of life and thOuyht, having, as
did her husband, the ex-President, sym
pathized with the South in the struggle
of 1S6l-5. She has three living children,
one the daughter recently married,
another praeticing physician of repute
in this city, third who resides at Rich
mond and is engaged upon literary
work upon the history Of the Tyler fam
lily.
Mrs. Polk, the most advanced by far
in years Ofthe trio. resides in Nashville,
within easy view of the grave of her hus-
band, who died there 45 years ago. Mr..
Justice Matthews, who is a
warm personal friend, who Wis
its her every time his duties

bright, thoughtful, intellectual woman as
when she lett the White House. Her fac
ulties at the advanced age of 50 are still
well preserved, and she is hOnOred by all,
distinguished men visiting her often, and
the Legislature of the State each year adj
journing to call upon her in body.

Physicians recognize Iron as
the best restorative agent known
to the profession, and inquiry of
any leading chemical firm will
without doubt substantiate the
assertion that therea are more prep
arations Of iron than of any other
substance used in medicine. This
shows conclusively that Iron is
acknowledged to be the most i'm
portant factor in successful med
zeal practice. 1t is, however, a
remarkable fact, that prior to the
discoveryof Browns Iron Bitters
no perfectly satisfactory ironcom-
bination had ever been found.
Browns Iron Bitters does not
injure the teeth, causeheadache or
produce constipation-GM Other.

Bitters cures indigestion, bilious
ness, weakness, dyspepsia, mala-
ria, chills and fevers, tired feeling,
general debility, pain in the side,
back or limbs, headache and neu-
ralgia - for all these ailments
Iron is prescribed daily.
Browns Iron Bitters, however,
does not cure in a minute. Like
all other thorough medicines, it
acts slowly. When taken by
men the first symptom of benefit
is renewed energy. The muscles
then become frmer, the digestion
improves, the bowels are active.
In women the effects usually
more rapid and marked. The
eyes begin at once to brighten;
the skin clears up; healthy color
comes to the checks; nervous
ness disappears; functional de
engagements become regular, and

The Commonwealth speaks of the res

that whoever drew the resolutions needs
a good deal Of education on the subject
of tariff. 4 body of representative men

We will bet a nickel that the man
who drew the resolutions which seems
TO hurt knows more about the question
than any one connected with the Com
7noy,,cedith. What is there needing pro-
lection which demands tax on tea and
coffee? These are the necessities to be
found on every poor mans table, not
grown of any consequence IN this coun-
try. and with a S1OO,O00,0O0 surplus

For The Reflector.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I have been
thinking since the panic in Wall street
what a grand opportunity the high tar
if and high taxation party missed IN
the defeat of the Morrison bill.
Had the bill passed the house, the
Gazette and every monopoly organ III
the country would have been reading
the public a homily upon the terrible
unwisdom of permitting southern and
western democratic statesmen to carry
their wild and visionary Schemlng
through congress. The losers in the
New York crash would have been held
ND as innocent victims of the economic
pretensionS of Carlisle, Morrison and
Hewitt. The whole affair would have
been cited as conclusive evidence of the
unsafety of entrusting the control OF
government to the democratic party.
The Morrison bill was defeated before
the panic came along, and cannot be
made the scapegoat of the occasion.
Still. | think the tariff had something
to do with it: it is a part of the cause
by which high rates Of interest are
maintained. monopoly dividends are

From Topeka.

TOPEKA, May 2S.-The state COM
mittee decided last night to hold the
state convention for the nomination OF
officers on Wednesday, August Goth, at
Topeka. The enthusiasm among the
democrats is great, and this convention
will be more largely attended than any
previous one. 1t is pretty certain that
Gov. CLICK will head the delegation
to Chicago, and Tom FENLON, W. G..
PERRY, and some western man, prob
ably JOHN FOSTER, of Saline, will be
elected delegates-at-large. The Dickin-
son county delegation are i'll caucus to
decide between HENDRICKS and MAR
TIN. Dickinson will be able to send a
man to Chicago if the delegation is al
lowed free action.
