that he was not a yielding sensitive"

Hammond did, however, 60 so far as
to say that "other experiments might

produced a certain nervous excitement

Every m being has an influence OF
affinity and 1t is only a question OF con-
tact. Some persons have this influence to
n more remarkable degree than others, as
Is shown by great orators, diagnosti-
clans, and exceptional actors. singers
and ins~trumentalists. They control vast
audiences by q magnetism that all
who come under their spell acknowl-
edge. This power is also felt in
social life and women as well as men have
held and hold sway not by great gifts Of
intellect, but by the exercise Of the subtle
influence that in the results Of its power
comes near TO indiyidualizing the spiritual
part OF man-tho soul.

and yet they are of the same flesh and blood,
the natural equals in every way Of the How
ards and Stanleys, Esterhazys and Liechten-
stems" In 1861 Mr.. Motley was appointed
Minister to Vienna, and his letters from
there are graphic pictures OF social life
among the naughty Austrian noblesse. The
entree allowed Mr.. Motley and family to
their exclusive circle was a mark of favor
seldom accorded to diplomates-never to
literary men. But Mr.. Motley's heart was
too full at that time OF the trouble between
the North and South to think Of anything
else, his literary work included. In the
spring of 1869 Mr.. Motley was appointed, by
President Grant, Minister to England, and
he was recalled in 1870, going thence to the
Continent, where he divided his time between
Dresden, Berlin, where his old classmate,
Bismarck, was then living, and The Hague,
where he saw much Of the Queen OF Hol-
land. Mrs. Motley died in 1874, q bitter
loss, from which Mr.. Motley never quite re-
covered. Owing to his failing health, he
passed the winter of 1929 at Bournemouth,
and died in 1877 at Kingston-Russell, Eng
land. In view Of the recent death OF Mr..
John Bright, his two letters to Mr.. Motley,
reproduced in volume second, bear more
than ordinary interest. The first, written
March o, 1868, discusses the feeling in Eng
land relative TO the civil war in America.
The other, dated July 81, 1865, bore allu'
sions to Mr.. Golden, not long dead, the as
sassination Of Lincoln and the question oil
free trade, Of which Mr.. Bright was so able
an exponent and advocate. Mr.. Motley's
three daughters all married Englishmen,
Lily, the eldest, became Lady Vernon Har
court; Mary married Algernon Sheridan, Q
grandson of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and
Susie, the youngest, married HerbertS st. John
Mildmay. No one can read these two volumes
Of Motley's letters without sharing more oil
less in the enthusiasm Of feeling which The
writer's presence always awakened whereve
he went. Here we see him, not only as thu
brilliant historian, having won the worlds
highest honors and homage, and in which ht
will be best remembered, but n man Of win
ming personality, one to love as well as ad
mire. In his domestic relations he wa
happiest, and in the forty years Of ''ailec
Tomato correspondence with MS mother
nothing could better show the beautiful
reverence and affection Of his nature. Thes'
letters are fascinating, too, from thu
freshness OF touch with which thing
are told that one can not find II
books. And then there is an intensi
fed interest attached because We realiz,
that MI. Motley knew personally all thu
great people he writes OF. The work hai
been admirably edited by Mr.. George viii
lam Curtis, who sets a fine example OF reserv'
and Of subordination to a proper purpose
TO let the historian tell his own story in hi

for the discharge Of public obligations at a
stipulated time. AS TO the selection OF a
bank The APPEAL has nothing to say.
The responsibility for that step must rest
with the Taxing District Commissioners.
In case OF loss they would have to answer
to the public. Besides. they are all bust
ness men, and nearly all Of them are con-
nected as officers or directors with one or
another OF the city banks, and they ought
to know their " business best.

THE little furry in the House yesterday
over the resolution to enable the State
Funding Board to borrow money to meet
the interest on the State debt, revived the
discreditable attitude the State occupies
in being needlessly q borrower, when n
slight increase in the State tax would
prevent IL. II is q shiftless policy,
and discredits all the statements pub
lished about the growth Of the State
and the yearly increase Of its wealth.
When this resolution goes to the SEN
ate II ought TO be defeated, and in lieu
some sensible man with the courage Of his
convictions should propose an increased tax
OF 3 cents on the 500, or 10 cents II neces-
sary, In order that there shall be money
on hand to pay interest without borrowing.
The financial history OF Tennessee since
1873 has been d~isgraceful and discredit-
able, as Mr.. stainback suggested in his
speech, and the knowledge Of this should
operate to prevent the additional disgrace
OF a provision TO borrow money to pay in
tcrest when the State is rich enough TO
meet all It's obligations by taxation.

SNEEzlNG CATARRH.

The distressing sneeze sneeze, sneeze, the acrid, watery discharges from the eyes and nose, the painful inflammation extending to the throat, the swelling of the mucous lining, causing choking sensations, cough, ringing noises in the head and splitting headaches,-how familiar these symptoms are to thousands who suffer periodically from head colds influenza, and who live in ignorance of the fact that single application of Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh will afford instantaneous relief.
 But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh gives but @ faint idea of what this remedy will do in lhe chronic forms. wheree the breathing is ob- structed by choking. purrid mucous accumule- tions the hearing affected, smell and taste gone, ening itself upon the debilitated sy stem. Then it is that the marvellous curative power of Sanford's Radical Cure manifests itself in instantaneous and grateful relief. Cure begins from the first appli- cation. It is rapid, radical, permanent, economi- cal. safe.
 Sanford's Radical Cure consists of one bottle of the Radical Cure, one box of Catarrhal Solvent and Improved Inhaler; price $1.
