The Republican Senators may just
as well yield gracefully in the matter
OF Presidential appointments. The
only objections against Apprentices of
the Executive the people will sustain
are such as may be based upon prov
ed personal unftness. The people
are SO generally impressed with the
conviction that it is fair and proper
for the party in power to have the
offices that refusal by Republican
Senators to confirm the nominations
would be regarded as mean endeay-
or to hold on to what does not be-
long to them.

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of IMPAIR
inent of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, a desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, PERUNA and
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But it is meyer well to wait so long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
of the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion;
or in others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying COM
paratively good health. In all these Pc
RUNA and MANALIN should at once be
taken. a

his public and political usefulness he
defended New York City against the
pirates who were plundering the

the corrupt canal ring. His Presi-
Dental candidacy was prompted by
a desire to defend the Government
against the maladministration that
had gained control of public affairs.

General Robert Toombs died at
Washington, Ga, on the 18th inst,
in his 18TH year. He was remarka-
BILE man in many respects. He was
one of the foremost men in Georgia,
and at one time, in the Union. He
served in Congress as Representative
and Senator for years, and when the
Southern States sought to set up a
government, he served the Confede-
racy as a soldier and in the Cabinet.
He was popular man and strong
before the people and was never
beaten in a popular election. He
threw the weight of his influence, his
talents and his fortune with the land
whose every inch he loved, and when
the cause was lost he gradually con-
fined himself within the circle of
few personal acquaintance.

A PRUSSIAN BRIDES MISTAKE.

A young girl chose to be married in
a West Prussian town Ivy proxy, and she
has now made the unpleasant discovery
that her marriage under these circum-
stances is no marriage at all in the eyes
of the law. On the day fixed for the
civil ceremony the bride, being anxious
to superintend the preparations for the
wedding breakfast, instead of going in
person to the town hall with the bride
groom, sent her sister in her place.
None of the relatives appear to have per-
ceived the impropriety of the proceeding,
and the Mayor pronOuncedthe wrong wo-
man married to the right man. The fol-
lowing day the real bride went to church
with the husband, audthe marriage was
soiemized. Immediately afterward. how
ever, the cOuplewere informed, not only
that, owing to the substitution of one per
son for another before the Mayor, the
marriage was null and void, but that they
will be prosecuted for making false
declaration to the civil registrar.
