A Political RemInisrence.

Providence Journal.
Fifty-two years since, Of the men
who laid the foundations of tho Gov
ernment of the United States, nearly
all had passed into history. The
simple and stainless character. the
tranquil and majestic intellect Of John
Marshall at the age of four score still
shed over the bench of the Supreme
Court the gladstone light of jurispru-
dence. John Quincy Adams, aftes
long service as diplomatist, Senator,
Cabinet Minister, and President, had
recently entered the Lower House of
Congress, and at nearly three score
and ten was about to commence that
long defence of the right of petition
which has established his fame and
placed his name by the side of John
Hampden on the roll of the immortals
who have protected the sacred rights
of human nature against the aggres-
sions of arbitrary power. But Fed
eralists aud Republicans. John Adams
and Hamilton, Jefferson and Madi-
son, to use the happy phrase of a
great orator, had taken their places
in the upper sky. On the stage of
political action there were men whom
many men now living can recall in
their habit as they lived. Daniel
Webster, then in the full maturity of
his great powers, had recently, in his
reply to Hayne, achieved forensic
triumph with which the country rang
from side to side, and about which
generations yet unborn will talk as
we now talk Of the orations of De-
mosthenes or of Chatham. John @.
Calhoun, then of the same age as
Webster, in defense of what he claim
ed to be the rights of his native State,
had forced one Of those compromises
which had their origin rather in the
patriotism than in the practical wis.
dom of Henry Clay. 1t was in ref
erence to this that at q later time Mr..
Calhoun ventured to say upon the
floor of the Senate was then his
master" and drew from the arrogant
and naughty Kentuckian reply: HE
my master | would not town him
for a slave" Henry Clay, a few
years older than Webster and Cal
houn, and inferior to either of them 10
some respects. was superior to both in
the imperious will and the intuitive
sagacity which make & great party
leader. These three men were then
Senators and rival candidates for the
presidency Andrew Jackson, then
approaching his allotted term of 70
years, after his victory over the Bank
of the United States, had just been
reelected to the Presidency with
popular approval unexampled since
the days of Washington.

BOSTON.
Its Social Status.

San Francisco Call.
The social status Of good many
Isoston people is past finding out, on
the part of the plehein people, and
even among the upper crust it is al
times uncertain. The widow Of Geo.
Ticknor the Spanish historian, (who
died fourteen years ago) passed away
ten days ago. She wes the daughter
of Samuel Eliot, one of the leading
merchants of Boston in former years,
and sister of ex- Mayor Eliot. She
leaves daughter, and her nephew is
President Eliot of Harvard College.
Mrs. Tinknor helped to give tone to
Boston society thirty or forty years
ago. and the word of the Ticknor
family in those days was law, and it
was automatically rendered; even
such men as Wendell Phillips and
Charles Sumner being excluded from
their manson, located on the corner of
Park street, opposite the Common,
and in the shadow of the State
House.
The exemple thus set, it is related,
was followed by numerous other
householders, who could not tolerate
the men who dared to differ with the
OLD wHIG REGIME
of those days. Mrs Ticknor is the
lady who kept the eloquent George S.
Hillard on the con ervative side
against his own inclinations, and
against the advice and entreaty of his
anti-slowry wife, when his friend
Sumner was ostracised. There was a
ludicrous relationship between these
two personages.
After Richard Ii. Dana, Jr., had
espoused the free-soil cause, so it is
told, aud was treated rather coolly by
some of bis old friends, be said, one
night, to his companion. "Come,
wife, let's go up to the Ticknors and
ascertain what our social status is !"
They went, and it did not take long
for them to ascertain. They were
pretty we'll "frozen." They did not
go again to the Ticknor mansion.
And it is fact that this old spirit,
the old idea of social status, engen-
dered by the free-soil movement and
the formation of the RepublicaL party,
exists among certain families t. this
very day, among the high-toned peo-
pie of Beacon Hill and all that that
locality implies. The hauteur of "old
Tick" Gas he was familiarly called) is
still remembered by those who were
active in the days of forty years ago

Degenerate Sons oi Statesmen.

Any one who attends the Presi-
dents receptions is struck by the ply
sical contrast between the prominent
statesmen of the day and their hope
full sons. 1t is well known that all
the United States Senators, with
three exceptions, and nearly all the
able men in the House of Represen-
tatives are above the average height,
and of very ample proportions. They
are self.made men, and required all
the vitality of their large frames to
raise themselves in the world. They
are an honor to the White House, and
lend dignity to its receptions. But
what pitiful lot are their wretched
little dudes of sons, with their spin
die legs, dwarfed frames, sunken
chests, and colorIess faces-ambition-
less, dissipated, worthless, without
even a manly vice. There are some
marked exceptions, but the average
society young man as seen at the
White House is anything but an OBJ
iect of admiration. 1t is common
sight to see handsome, stately girl
with one of these little objects trot-
ting across the room at her side,
scarcely reaching her shoulders. That
women don't admire the puny things
is proved by the rarity Of marriage
in Washington society, except in
army and navy circles, where the
young men are more manly in form
and character. 9 - ~.

Presbyterian Assembly.

CINCrEEATI, May 26.-At the Presby-
Ierian general assembly, this morning,
it was found necessary to restrict the
attendance in order to keep the aisles
clear. Of seven overtures acted on by
Presby terians duriRg the past year, all
but one was answered in the affirmative.
The action on the latter gives the church
the privilege of dropping the name from
its roles, of a member who requests it,
because of a change of views, but who
is not ,chargeable with any immoral
conduct. Overtures pertaining to the
book of discipline from the Presbyter
les of Los Angeles, Washington City,

sympathy with General Grant was
unanimously adopted. The standing
committee on home missions reported
the board is. $4,000 in debt, although
it has received in contributions more

from the decrease in legacies. The total
receipts are $4,000. The ministers

assumed by the revolutionists since the
withdrawal of the military and police
opposition to the communist demon
straton on Monday has provoked such

All About the Affair

RIO JANKIEo. May 25.-The southern
mail has brought an explanation of the
grounds for the arrest of Mr.. MacKay,
United States Consul at Rio Grande de
Sell, on the 18th of April. According to
Rio Grande papers Mackay, had long
been special marx for the attacks of a
carIcaturing paper called Marry, of
which certain Thades Alves de Amorim
was editor. Finally, on the 18th, the
affair eliminated in an attack upon
Mackay's mother, and in a scandalous
assertion of his own intimacy with two
respectable lakes. Msckay was seated
In the theatre on the evening of the 10Th,
when Amorim passed, scraped his feet
on the floor TO draw attention, looked at
the consul in an insulting manner, and
spat loudly. Mackay jumped up and
after some exchange of words
Amorlm raised sword stick
and struck at Mackay, but
the stick caught in a chandelier and
broke. Mackay then drew a small re-
volver and fired four shots, three of
which struck, but as Amorim ducked,
produced only superficial wounds
Amorim then drew pistol and fired
but the pistol was seized by bystander,
whose hand was severely mangled by
the charge. Amorim was taken out to
have his wounds dressed, and Mackay,
by the German consul,
proceeded to the residence of the police
magistrate and surrendered himself,
wherein he was lodged in the apart
ments of Staff Major, in the police
barracks. and where next day, 400 of the
chief inhabitants of the city went to
compliment him and to offer their serv-
ices.

Ont of Tune

When the tones of a musical instru-
ment become harsh and discordant, we
say it is Tout of tune" The same may
be said of that far more wonderful and
complicated piece of mechanism, the
human structure, when it becomes
disordered. Not only actual disease,
but those far more common causes,
overwork, mental anxiety, and fast liv
ing, may impair its vigor and activity.
The best remedy for partial collapse
of the vital energies, from these as
from other sources, is zHostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which Is at the same
time an agreeable and mind cheering
cordial. and the best possible inyigcrant
in all classes of debility. It is an In
comparable stomachic and anti-biiious
medicine, eradicates fever and ague,
and prevents subsequent attacks. 1t
remedies with certainty and thorough
ness, bowel and kidney complaints,

troubles, neuralgia, and many other
bodily ailments. It also counteracts
influences which predispose to disease.

HIS Success

Financially and socially, are largely due
to his excellent health. If his system
were clogged and feyerish, no doubt he
would fail as so many others do. But
why not enjoy good health when one
can please the palate at the same time ?
Syrup of Figs is not only pleasant to
the taste, it also cleanses the system
thoroughly, yet painlessly: it is harm
less in its nature, and strengthens the
organs on which it acts so that regular
habits may be formed. and the sufferer
permanently restored to health and
happiness. Sample bottles free and large
