ThOnlas ]. Marshall.

have alluded to John Quincy Adams.
His name recalls that of Thomas f. Mar
shall. the most brilliant man that even Ken
tucky has produced. In an evil hour Mar
shall had discussion with the "old man
eloouent' upon a matter of fact, and as a
result was badly wOrsted, as Henry Clay
himself was worsted, by an appeal to Adams
inevitable diary, which the ex-President in
yoked on all such occasions Marshall was
the most eloquent man of his day. His
speech had the dulcet sweetness of the harp
of Orpheus, and was as persuasive as the
plea of Phryne before hostile court. II
would have softened the marble bosom Of
Rhadamanthus and planted the germ OF
mercy in his flinty heart. Marshall was a
singular genius, MS erratic as Petersboro
and as gifted as Admirable Crichon, though
slave to his passions and without individ-
uality of character sufficient to resist temp
tation or reform broken life. Like Sir
William Yonge nothing but such a char
acter could drag down such parts, and moth
ing but such parts could sustain such a
character"
Until he was elected to Congress Mar
shalps conviyial habits had not obtained
the mastery over him. While serving his
first term he became very much enamored
of the beautiful daughter of q British mo-
bleman who was making a tour of our coun-
try and who spent several weeks atthe Cap
ital. Marshall's passions when once aroused
were ungovernable He loved as he plead
the cause of a client, or upheld his princi-
pies on the hustings, with all the energy of
an ardent, fiery and impetuous nature. The
lady was cruel and 9 great life was blight
ed. It is said that he addressed letter to
her after her rejection Of his suit that is the
most eloquent, touching and pathetic pro-
duction ever penned by man. BE the story
of his love true or false, it is certsinly so
that he admired the lady, and paid her much
attention and, after the episode Of his ac-
quaintance with her, he was reckless OF his
fame and powerless in the grasp of the mon
ster drink, though he frequently appeared
in public and delivered speeches on public
affairs that were masterpieces, and even
temperances lectures that have never been
equaled.

How many women there are of whom
these words are true "They feel languid
and tired, hardly able to bear their weight
on their feet, the bloom all gone from their
cheeks, irritable and cross without meaning
to be. nerves all upset, worried with the
children. fretted over little things, aburden
to themselves, and yet with no acute dis
ease" What pity il is. But few bot
ties ofParker's Tonic will drive all this away,
and relieve the troubles peculiar TO their sex.

The Rev. William Dewitt Hyde, OF
of Bowdoin College.
The contest of the freshmen crews
of Harvard and Columbia Colleges occurred
at New London, Conn.,, Harvard winning
easily by ten lengths.
Reports from Mount MacGregor
leave little room to doubt that Gen. Grants
disease is steadily progressing toward fatal
termination. The swelling in the throat and
neck is hardening and increasing and the
liberation burrowing deeper, and the illus
trious patient is slowly but surely growing
weaker. although he continues TO devote
little time each day to work upon his me-
moirs. The following bulletin OF the Gen
erals condition, prepared by Drs shrady
aud Douglas. appeared in the New York
Medical Record of June 81:
The progress OF the disease from which Gen.
Grant is suffering is barring accidental compli-
cations, slow. Comparing the condition oil tho
patient with what IL was a month ago. the
changes which have taken place can be APP
precatcd. Taking this period OF time into
consideration. IL can be said that the
swelling under the angle of the lower jaw.
on the right side, has increased. and has become
harder and more deeply fixed. IL has shown
a LenOenCy TO DIOGitSS III OONh
ward and forward upon the right side OF
the neck, the intiltration extending into the
neighboring glandular structures. The lancinat-
ing pains in those Parts, although. fortunately,
not frequent nor severe, have signlncaDce
which can not be ignored The liberation on
the right side of the base OF the tong ne has be-
come DEEPER and more irregular, although its
superficial area has not perceptibly increased.
This is the scat OF the pain occasionally III
swallowing and when certain examinations or
the throat are made. The destructive process
on the right side or the uvula IL apparently
quiescent although new portion OF the mar
gin OF the palatal curtain is showing a tend
ency TO break down. The voice has been re-
duced TO IA whisper, due partly 10 inhammatorv
involvement of the vocal chords and partly TO
nervous Rtony of the latter. There is some
impairment or general strength and some loss
I'm weight. although the appetite is unchanged
and the usual amount OF nocrishment Is taken.
The removal TO Mount MacGregor mas so lar
proved beneficial IL has enabled the patient TO
recover lost ground, and thus in a measure has
counterbalanccd the effects of his local malady.
The boat race between the Harvard
and Yale crews over the Thames course
