"Should Senator Jones be paid a

one knew at the time what it meant,
but the truth has now come out
The eloquent senator has not been
seen either in Florida or in Wash

time he has been in Detroit. Mich.
He is in love with charming
widow, who is twice a millionaire,
residing there but she has not yet
reciprocated the feeling, and he has
sworn not to return until he wins
her hand. He has been in Detroit
220 days, and every day, it is said,
he has sent to the object OF his affec

All this is very interesting and

should be paid five thousand dollars

ID. Ell. Strother has returned from
Mexico, and again settled in his
quiet home in West Virginia. The
mention of this famous name recalls
singular memories of the past. He
comes of one of the strongest intel.
lectual families Of the Old Domin.
ion. Besides his family history he
has one of his own that is romance.
He was The pioneer in the art OF
illustrating bis own articles, and
one of the very best of our humor-
Gus writer's for many years. He
worked for Harper's before the
war and under the nom de plume
of Porte Crayon, made himself
famous, and hated by the people OF
his own section by his stories and
illustration of Southern life. For
many years he was the best artist
in the country. There was an origi.
nality, humor and naturalness about
both his sketches and writings that
we're charming, and his name is a
household word. When the war
broke out he was an intense Union
man, while most Of his kindred took
the other chute. He went into the
Union army and was Chief of staff
to General Hunter. When that old
veteran started to lay the valley OF
Virginia waste, Strother was by his
side. Although he was reared
there he saw its destruction without
fiinching. Like most other writers,
Strothers had been poor most all
his life. and when The war closed he
went back to his pen and sketch.
book. For time his articles were
regularly accepted, but the range OF
writing aud illustration had increas
ed SO rapidly that Strother's good
work soon dropped from magazines,

Not symptoms. but the disease

1t would seem to be truth appreciable by
all. and especially by professors of the healing
art that to remove the disease, not to alleviate
its symptoms, should be the chief aim OF med
ication. Yet In how many instances do we
see this truth admitted in theory, ignored in
practice. The reason that Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters Is successful in SO many cases, with
which remedies previously tried were mad
equate to cope. is attributable to the fact that
1t is medicine which reaches and removes
the causes OF the various nlaladies to which it
is adapted. Indigestion. fever and ague, liver
complaint. govt, rheumatism, disorder OF the
bowels, urinary affections and other maladies
are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it.
1t goes to the fountain head. 1t is really not
nominaily. radical remedy. and 1t endows
the system with an amount of viaor which is
Its best protection against disease.

THE RED COATED WITNESS.
AN ANEcDoTE TOLD BY DANIEL
WEBSTER.

/ ~~@< ---<s
When | was a young practi.
tioner,o said Mr.. Webster, i. there
was but one man at the New Hamp-
shire bar of whom l was afraid, and
that was old Barnaby. There were
but few men who cared to.enter the
lists wish him. On one occasion
Barnaby was employed to defend a
suit for piece of land bought by a
little grabbed, cunning lawyer cali
ed Bruce. Bruce's case was looked
upon as good as lost when it was
ascertained that Barnaby was re.
tanned against him.
The suit came on for trial, and
Barnaby found that Bruce had
worked hard and left no stone
unturned to gain the victory. The
testimony for the plaintiff was very
strong, and unless it could be i'm
peached the case OF the defendant
was lost. The principal witness
introduced by the plaintiff wore
red coat. In summing up for defence
old Barnaby commenced a furious
attack on this witness, pulling his
testimony all to pieces, and appeal
ing to the jury if a man who wore a
red coat was, under any circum-
stances, be believed. .And who is
the relocated witness ~ exclaimed
Barnaby. "but a descendant of our
common enemy, who has striven to
take from us our liberty, and would
not hesitate now to deprive my
poor client of this land by making
any sort OF red coated statement ~
During this speech Bruce was
walking up and down the bar, great
ly excited, and convinced that his
case was gone, knowing as he did
the prejudice of the jury against
anything British. Whilst, however,
Barnaby was gesticulating and lean
ing forward to the jury in his elo.
qnent appeal, his shit bosom open
ed slightly and Bruce accidentally
discovered that Barnby wore red
Bruce's countenance
frightened up. Putting both hands
in his coat pockets he walked the
bar with great confidence, to the as.
constituent of his client and all look
ers on.
Just as BarnaDy concluded Bruce
whispered in the ear of his client !
. I've got him your case is safer'
and approaching the jury, he CON-
menced his reply to the slaugh-
tering argument of his adversary.
Bruce gave regular history of the
ancestry of his relocated witness,
proving his patriotism and devotion
to the country, and his character for
truth and veracity. "But what,
gentleman of the jury broke forth
Bruce in loud strain of eloquence,
while his eyes flashed fire, "what
are you to expect of man who
stands here to defend cause based
on no foundation of right or justice
whatever, of man who undertakes
to destroy our testimony on the
ground that my witness wears red
coat: when, gentlemen of the jury
(here Bruce made a spring and
catching Barnaby by the bosom
of the shirt, tore it open, displaying
his red flannel when Mr.. Barnaby
himself wears red flannel coat, con-
cealed under blue one ~ The ef-
feet was electrical; Barnaby was
beaten at his own game, and Bruce
gained his cause.n
