ANCESTORS AND TITLES.

In regard to aristocracy Daniel Web
ster once wrote: ''There may be, and
there often is, a regard for ancestry
which nourishes only weak pride; and
there is also care for posterity, which
only DISCUSSES an habitual avarice or
hides the working of low and groveling
vanity. But there is also a moral and
philosophical regard for our ancestors
which elevates the character and i'm
proves the beast" Aristocratic titles
are often obtained by dishonOrable
means, says Texas SUtings. Many man
becomes ignoble to become noble.
The confidence of nobility of birth has
rendered men ignoble, just as the opinion
of wealth makes some men poor. Lord
Bacon has compared those who lived in
the higher spheres to these heavenly
bodies in the armament which have
much admiration but little rest. Titles
are properly the insignia of wise and
honest men. The fool or knave that
wears one is falsifier. They who dilate
upon their glorious ancestry are foolishly
vain of debt which probably they will
never be able to pay. 1t has also been
remarked that river generally becomes
narrower and more insignificant as we
ascend to its source. The stream of an
cestry, on the contrary, often vigorous,
pure and powerful at its fountain head,
usually becomes more feeble, shallow
and corrupt as it flows downward.-BOs-
ton Herald.

Would that man be considered judi
cious, who digs ditch with an outlet
for thousand gallons per hour, when
the stream never reaches one hundred
gallons per hour? Such is the economy
used on many farms.
While it is true that we should never
buy thing because it is cheap, or be-
cause our neighbors have it, still if we
must have it, really need it, we should
avail ourselves of the most favorable OPP
portunity to get it for little money.

There are some patent medicines that
are more marvellous than dozen doc
tors prescriptions, but they're not those
that profess to cure everything.
Everybody, now and then, feels run
down." "played out" They've the
will, but no power to generate vitality.
They're not sick enough to call doctor,
but just too sick to be well. That's
where the right kind of patent medi-
cine comes in, and does for dollar what
the doctor couldn't for less than five or
ten. We put in our claim for DR.. Pieroe's
Golden Medical Discovery.
We claim it to be All unequaled remedy
to purify the blood and invigorate the
liver We claim it to be lasting in its
effects, creating an appetite, purifying
the blood, and preventing Bilious,
Typhoid and Malarial fevers II taken in
time. The time to take it is when you
first feel the signs of weGriness and
,oeGkness. The time to take it, on gen.
eral principles, is NOW.

Mrs. Polk was very remarkable wo-
man. Up to few weeks before her
death took place she held her weekly re-
captions. She was ever bright CONVEX
Sationalist and years did not dimish this
rare gift. No great body, political, edu-
cational or religious; no convention ever
met nor Legislature assembled in the
capital where she lived, that failed to
call en- masse on Mrs. Polk to pay their
respects to her. No such acts of venera-
ton are recorded as having been paid to
any woman of this country as were uh-
failingly rendered her. They were
largely rendered as her personal due,
but equally by reason of the affection in
which President Polk himself had been
held.-N. Y. Press. ...
The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1891-09-04

There is tradition in Tennessee that
the case in which Polk was engaged
never came to trial. There is no such
statement in any of his biographies, but
the biographers of the forties, when
printers ink was scarce and costly, left
many details and incidents of mems lives
unwritten for economy's sake. l have
heard it related that when the court re-
assembled late in the day the opposing
porties to the case had made up their
differences over rotations in honor of
Mr.. Polk and begged the court to permit
them to enter settlement. But there
is another tale of how this result was
affected. 1t is said that when the Judge
ordered the case to go on Mr.. Polk rose
in kindly spirit and with calm demeanOr
to express the thought that in justice to
the court and his fellow lawyers at the
bar, in view of the prestige of his new
success, which might unfairly prejudice
judge and jury, he could not continue in
the case unless immediate continuation
of the trial was forced, in which event
his clients welfare would overshadOw
every consideration, but he asked to have
the trial continued to another term,
when his client might be represented by
another, and he hoped better lawyer
than himself. This conscientious posi-
ton struck the principal in the suit on
the opposition side as so fair that he i'm
mediately, through his lawyer, made
proffers of settlement which were
promptly accepted. Which version if
correct the glimpse given of the old time
lawyers, courts and litigants is instruc-
tive.

When Mr. Polk received word of his
nomination he was trying an important
case at Lawrenceburg in the county adj
joining that in which he lived. 1t was
in the old ''circuit rider days, when law
yers went from county to county with
the judges, and when the clients of a
leading law firm in the so-called West,
now the heart of the continent, but then
scarcely more than the frontier, were
scattered over half dozen or more
counties. There were no telegraph lines
or communication. 1t was in 1874. There
were few railroads and twenty-five miles
an hour was express" speed on those
in operation. The means of communica-
ton with the rest of the country for
Tennessee consisted of couriers carried
on horseback and the old fashioned,
slow moving, stern wheel river steam
boats. Imagine the contrast between
that day and the present, when electricity
literally flashes information across con-
tinents and oceans in the twinkling of an
eye. Those were the Golden days and
golden" when men moved slow but
sure. There was a scene in the Law
renceburg court room when the courier's
message was made known. The lawyers
flocked around Mr.. Polk to congratulate
him, the Judge declared a recess of the
court and came down to shake hands
with the lawyer and join in the general
congratulatiOn, the affiant and defend
ant being forgotten and their case
literally forgotten in the excitement.
Something of this scene it is possible to
imagine, but to hear some old Ten
nessean relate it as he heard it from
men who were present, with suggestions
of how the mountain dew" flowed for
time like water in the little old tavern
nearby, is like revelation of another
world

POLITICS IN PoLk,s TIME.

The recent death of Mrs. James K.
Polk at Nashville has brought to me
from Tennesseans some points in the
history of the late ex-President, his
family and his law partnership at the
time of his nomination, on which the
old timers of that State love to dwell.
Mr.. Polk had been a member of the
lower branch of Congress for three terms
or more, and had served at least one
term as Speaker. Previous to his public
service in Congress he had been a men,
Der of the Tennessee Legislature. AT
the time of his selection by his party as
the Presidential nominee he was not an
aspirant for that or any other position,
and the news of his selection was sur
prise alike to him and to his neighbOrs.
He was then a resident of Columbia,
where he was engaged in the practice OF
law, which was quite remunerative to
him on account of his ability as legal
adviser and as a special pleader. His
firm was Polk & Thomas. His partner
was one of the most profound lawyers at
the Southern bar, and by singular coin
cidence, when Polk left Congress,
Thomas succeeded him from the same
district. Thomas was in Congress again
just prior to the war, and was a member
of the provisional Congress of the Con-
federaoy. His daughter, by the way,
Mrs.-A. B. Upshur, is residing in New
York, and inherits many of the brilliant
qualities thot gave him fame and made
the firm of Polk & Thomas noted for
successful practice. Her husband,
General Upshur, was Assistant Secretary
of the Interior during the Cleveland
regime, and she was society favorite in
Washington during that period, besides
having been for years singled out by Mrs.
Polk as a sort of protegee by unusual
favors and attentions.
