REMINISCENCES OF PUBLIC MEN BY BEN: PKELEY POOBE. Gs&eral Miles, who is an excellent observer of human nature, says that John Erriokson, of all men, should be the Secretary of the Navy. He cer­ tainly, by interposing the Monitor against the Merrimac when he did, turned the tide of the great contest, and saved Washington, if not New York, from destruction. That sea- fight attracted great attention, and the ablest ordnance officers of Europe were sent across the water to inspect the Yankee iron-clad. The British editors bade good-bye to the wooden walls of Old England, with their wings of white canvas and their ribs of island oak! Never again would their dainty brows plow the blue water to light the battles of Albion. They might have carried stores, like humble traders, or have rotted at their mooring, like hulks, but their lighting days were over. They and their fellows were as much oat of date as Greek trireme or a Roman galley. It was the dge of iron. We hung a coat of mail upon our wood­ en men-of-war, and built our new ones of the solid metal. Down came the stately, tapering masts, and away went all graceful curves and lines of beauty! i Bluff and ugly bows, iopsides tumbled home like the roof of Gaffer Gile's big barn, and the spars of a barque on the hull of a liae-ol'-battle ship; this was the new order of the day. Forests were nothing then, and mines were everything; we dug our new navies out of the bowels of the earth in place of felling them from the green woodlands. There was an end for good and all to (the poetry of a sea-light! In those to come the air must be foul with a hun­ dred funnels, and the water be loaded with a hundred thousand tons of met­ al. Enormous bolts of Iron will hur­ tle upon enormous iron plates from iron guns of awful dimensions. The ships themselves will not be ships, but metal monsters, horrible-beaked sea- unicorns or turtles floating up with death and destruction under their im­ penetrable shells. The first systematic* attempt to bring the attention of Congress to the French Spoliation claims was made in 1826 by Mr. John H. Causten, who de­ voted the remainder of his long life to their prosecution. Henry Clay,who was then Secretary of State, treated Mr. Causten with the highest consideration. Four clerks in the State Department were placed at his disposal for the copy­ ing ot records, and every facility that he required cheerfully granted. After several months of unremitting labor, Mr. Causten finally submitted the re­ sulted of his researches to the Presi­ dent near the close of the session of Congress. On the last night of the session he took a seat in the lobby of the Senate. About 9 o'clock Mr. Clay made his appearance, and, pinching Causten rn the lez a* he passed, in­ formed him that his papers had been sent in to the Senate. Causten said he went home that night and slept more soundly than he had done for a year. Mr. Clay tuode a visit from Kentucky to Albany in the Summer of 1839, to confer with William H. Seward, tlien Governor of the State of New York. •His reception everywhere from the Whigs was enthusiastic except in the western section of the Empire State, where the anti-Masonic faction, of which Seward was the leader, predominated. This faction desired the nomination of Scott or Harrison in the ensuing presi­ dential eloction instead of Clay, who was the favorite of the opposition -.everywhere, the anti-Masonic districts of New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, alone excepted. Mr. Clay arrived at Albany and lodged ut the Eagle Tavern in South Market street. Here he held a continual levee and imagined himself surrounded by friends in the person of the Whig Governor and State officers. Just betore hi^ departure, however, it was deemed expedient by Seward to disillusionize hun. For this purpose he chose a fitting instrument, Tom Clowes of Troy, a native of Marble- head, and as rough as the rocks of that iron-boumi port. Clowes, in accord­ ance wit'i bis instructions from Seward, informed Mr. Clay one evening that, if nominated, he could net receive the vote of New York. Mr. Clay was, of cour-e, utterly astonished and greatly agitated, ro much so that Mr. Lover- idge, of the Trot) Mail, who sat on the sofa with him, declared afterward to Clowes that he shook the sofa with his agita'ion. The Sewards, the Thad. Stevensea and other notorio .s political gamblers were strong enough, or rather the Whips of tiie country genera'ly were weak enough to be s'duced bv those unprincipled masters of chicanery; and at Harrisbur^, in December 1833. Gen- Harrison AND JOHN raeived the Whig nomination for the presidency and Vioe-Presidency. Mr. Clay magnanimously acquiesced in tke Harrisburg rumination,although well aware of the means by which it was brought about. In a letter to his old friend. Peter G. Livingston of New York, written in theSmnmer of 1840, he jooosely remarked, after alluding to some expressions of sympathy from Livingston: "But we moat not talk about these matters, Peter, for if we do tre will draw the spigot out of the bar­ rel and spill all the hard cider." The Harrison campaign was known at the time as the "hard-cider campaign." Late in the autumn of 1844, a letter addressed by Henry Clay to CassiusM. Clay, and intrusted to the charge of Horace Greely, was, according to his statement made at the time,accidentally dropped in the street. The next morn­ ing it appeared in the columns of the leading Democratic journal of New York. Whether Greeley's pocket was picked of this letter when asleep by Weed or some other henchman of Seward, or whether he left it where it could be conveniently stolen by some of these gentry and conveyed by them to the Democrats, will probably never be known. This letter was regarded as materially damaging to Mr. Clay's prospects in New York. At all events lie lo^t the vote of that State and was defeated. That this resq}t was anxi­ ously desired by Seward and his clique, no real iriend of Mr. Clay in the c ty ork ever doubted, to my ung Whigs of that city were y'a most enthusiastic supporters. Without the slightest exaggeration they may be said to have idolized him. When his defeat was ascertained, Thur- low Weed, that gaunt bird of evil omen, arrived at the Astor House. As soon as his arrival became known at the Whig headquarters on Broadway, the Whigs there assembled rushed down to the Astor with the determination to tar and feather Weed and ride him on a rail. They ascended the grand stair­ case, and swarmed through the corri­ dors, guarding carefully the public passages of egress from the hotel. But need's friend, the landlord, Stetson, outgeneraled them. They privately conveyed Weed out of the house through the filthy alley used by the garbage carts of the scavengers in the rear of the hotel, and placed him in a carriage on Broadway, with orders to the coach­ man to drive rapidly up town. So Weed escaped the deserved vengeance of those whom he had deceived and be trayed. Mr. Watson, whose early home was near Marsh field, and who was brought up in a " Websterian atmosphere," is my authority for saying that soon after the death of his first wife. Mr. Webster, then a Senator from Massai-liuBetts, was attracted by a pretty girl from Boston, a Miss Parker, who spent a winter here. It was rumored in Boston that he was about to marry her. To prevent this, George Blake, of that city, came on to Washington. Blake, though somewhat wild, was a man of talent and devoted to Mr. Webster. Congress adjourned; Mr. Webster and Miss Parker, Mr. Blake, and other friends took their departure for Balti­ more, where John Barney invited Web­ ster and Blake to sup with him. After supper, as Barney afterwards narrated, Mr. Blake talked very earnestly to Mr. Webster about the folly of his proposed marriage with Miss Parker, and told him that the people of Boston regarded him as in a certain sense, their prop­ erty, and would be seriously offended should he commit any act tending to lower the present dignity of his posi tion. Webster was so affected that he shed tears (according to Barney) and promised Blake that he would not ac­ company the young lady to Boston. The next morning he walked down to the boat with her, and when he in­ formed her that he was not going on she made quite a scene, but it was soon over. Miss Parker subsequently made a very good match. In 1830 Mr. Webster married Miss Caroline LeRoy, a daughter of Herman Leltoy, an eminent New York merchant, who was a resident of Holland when John Adams Was our minister there in 1777, and was of great service to him through his accomplishment as a lin­ guist. Mrs. Webster charmed all her husband's friends by her delightfa manners. Mr. W ebster, soon after his removal to Boston, received, as attorney for the "Spanish claims," the sum of -$80,000. With $30,000 of this n^on^y he built, in 1827, an elegant and spacious house at the intersection of Summer and High streets, in Boston, where he rr sided until his final removal tb Marshfield, tie close of his life. He had a At an date. toward the close of his gieat passion for silver emertainment given by him to Gov. Poindexter, in 1832, in his own house in Boston, the display of plate some­ what surprised some of his friends from State street, who mumbled among themselves amout "the loss of interest." In 1851 the late William Appleton stopped on his way to Washington in Philadelphia, and while there Mr. Bailey, a silversmith, asked him to come over to his shop and look at a silver service Mr. Webster bad recently ordered. Mr. Appleton went over, admired the plate very much, and asked the price. He was told $1,500. Mr. Appleton said Mr. Webster might afford to pay it, but he could not. Mr. Webster and Mr. Clayton,of Dela­ ware, were both members of the old Fed­ eral party, and both, subsequently, dis­ tinguished members of the Whig party. But from some cause, not now remem­ bered, Mr. Webster conceived, at an early period of their acquaintance, a strong aversion to Mr. Clayton. One day when Mr. Clayton was Secretary of State, Mr. Webster paid a visit to his native village in New Hampshire. In the parlor of the village tavern he received his old friends and those of his father. A gentleman inquired of him what was thought of Mr. Clayton in Washington. Mr. Webster made no response. The gentleman repeated the question, "Mr. Webster, what is the reputation of the Secretary of State in Washington ?" The reply came like a flash of lightning: " Mangum says he's the greatest liar in the United States!" Senator Toombs was very violent in his language, and in the early months of 1861, at the dining table of a friend, at which Gen. Scott was also a guest, he said: "If the Star of the West had been sunk in Charleston harbor by the South Carolina shot, I wish that the man who sent troops on her to rein­ force Fort Moultrie could have been on board." "Sir," roared Gen. Scott, "do you wish to insult me," and made for the Georgian to strike him, but others m f ur fared. The week after the battle of Bull Run, Senator Breckinridge, who had retained his seat, made an appeal for a cessation of hostilities, speaking elo­ quently of the horrors of war, the cost of maintaining armies, the dangers of military despotism, and the impossibil­ ity of ever subjugating the South. He peace with from the event of the grtat battle near Manassaji he drew an augury of defeat to theeanae of the Government on fu­ ture battlefields. Senator Baker was on the floor of the Senate for the first time in many days, having just come to Washington with his California regiment whom he had been busily engaged in organising in Philadelphia and elsewhere, and at whose head he fell. The white-haired but vigorous and active Senator lis­ tened attentively to the sentiments and predictions of Breckinridge, pacing the Senate flour back and forth with his eyes fastened on him, and now and then chafing with visible impatience to re­ ply. At length Breckinridge ceased, and Baker took the floor and proceeded, with a skilful and' unsparing hand, dissect the sophist y and falshood of the treason that litid just been uttered. "Sir," said he, in conclusion, "it is not a question of men or of money. All the money, all the men, are, in our judgment, well beetowed in such a cause. When we give them, wo know their value. Knowing their value well, we give them with the more pride and the more joy. But how could we re­ treat? How could we make peace? Upon what terms? Where in to be your boundary line? Where the end of the principles we shall have to give up? What will become of public lib­ erties? What of past glories? What of future hopes? Shall we sink into the insignificance of the grave--a de­ graded, defeated, emasculated people, frightened by the results of one battle, and scared at the visions raised by the imagination of the Senator from Ken­ tucky upon the floor? No. sir! a thou­ sand times no, sir! We will rally the people--the loyal people of the whole country. They will pour forth their treasure, their money, their men, with­ out stint, without measure. Shall one battle determine t\ie fate of empire, or a dozen ? the loss of one thousaud men or twenty thousand, or one hundred millions or five hundred millions of dollars? In & year's peace, in ten years, at most, of peaceful progress, we can restore them all. There will be some graves reeking with blood, wa­ tered by the t ears of aflection. There will be some privation; there will be some loss of luxury; there will be some­ what more need for labor to procure the necessaries of life. When that is said, all is said. If we have the coun­ try, the w hole country, the Union, the Constitution--free government--with these there will return all the blessings of well-ordered civilization; the path of Ihe country will be a career of great­ ness and of glory, such as, in the olden time, our fathers saw in tin dim vi­ sions of years yet to come, and such as would have been ours now, to-day, if it had not been for the treason for which the Senator too often seeks to apolo­ gize." The orator took his seat after this impassioned appeal, little dream­ ing that he would be one of the first to fulfil his own prophecy. Some of the German oflioers in Blinker's division, in the early days of the war, quarrelled among themselves, and one of them, a wealthy New York brewer, seriously made an offer of $10,- 000 if a Colonel obnoxious to him could be removed. This reminded Thad. Stevens of a wealhty German who had enlisted in a volunteer company which was sent, under General Macpherson, in 1794, against the Pennsylvania in­ surgents. It fell to his lot one night to be stationed sentinel over a baggage wagon. The weather was cold, raw, stormy, and wet This set the senti­ nel musing. After remaining on his post for half sn hour, he was heard esll- mg lustily: "Corporal of der Guartz! Corporal of der Gnartzi!" The cor­ poral came, and inquired what was wanting. Koch wished to be relieved for a few minutes, having something to say to General Macpherson. He was gratified, and in a few minutes stood in the presence of the General. "Well, Mr. Koch, what is your pleasure?" asked Macpherson. " \Vhy, General, I wish to know what may be der value of dat wagon over whioh I am shent nel ?" "How should I know, Kocli?" "Well, something approximate--not to be bar- ticular." "A thousand dollars, per­ haps." "Very well. General Macpher­ son, I writo a scheck for der money, and den I will go to bets" (bed). Colonel Baker's death after receiving a mortal wound in the battle of Ball's Bluff, was sincerely mourned in the Senate and in the army, for all knew that his double capacity of soldier and statesman was doing eminent service in contributing to infuse more vigor and efficiency into the conduct of the war. Colonel Baker was a brave man by im­ pulse, and a scholarly one by educa­ tion. He possessed an ardent tempera­ ment, which prompted him to exertion and activity. He was nervous if not employed, and the intensest labor was ever to him the most attractive. He chose his position of Colonel of a re­ giment rather than General of a brigade, which was repeatedly offered him and declined, in order to carry out his fixed design of rendering the utmost immediate and practical service to his country in the war. Active, zealous, and untiring, he infused the energy of his temperament into the men under his command. Colonel Baker's remains were es­ corted to the Congressional Cemetery by three regiments, attended by the President, the members of the cabinet, several judges of the Supreme Court, the lieutenant-general x»f the army and a throng of military officers of every rank, followed by a large concourse of citizens, iu carriages and on foot. This imposing oortage moved slowly up Pennsylvania avenue and past the Capitol, to the sound of mournful fun­ eral dirges. Tho cold October sky looked frowningly on, and the autumn wind sighed drearily through the trees, mingling with the muffled roll of drums and the solemn wail of troml»ones, as the long procession, with its waving emblems of grief blackening all the road, wound slowly on its way from the city of the living to the city of the dead. ^ _ JCPITER made a lottery in heaven, to which mortals as well as gods were al­ lowed to have tickets.

Dr. James A. Steuart, one of the most emi­ nent physicians in the South, and Health CommtisiODer of this city, bad analysed a newly discovered article, and certified offi­ cially, not only to its effloaoj but to the fact that it replaced old-time preparations of a similar character which, analyses bad proved, w ere adulterated and poisonous. The Medi­ cal and Chirurgpcal Faoulty, of which he is a member, held that he had violated tho code of medical ethics, and mueh public interest was aroused because of the or nfldence felt both in his professional standing and official ' integrity. It was argued that to thus place a limita­ tion on the acts of aphyalcian, and especially of a health officer, was opposed to the spirit of thca^e: that such reasoning might have been logical enough when it was to the inter­ est of rulers or societies to invest themselves with a supernatural halo, but now, when thought should be free and untrammelqd, such things savored of barbarism. It was the duty of a physician, especially of a health oO.ccr. to condemn publicly any remedy wh ich ho knew to be injurious but it was not right to say that he should be debarred from testijbring to the merits of anything which he kneiPto l e good. If this were so, the world would not receive the benent of half the dis­ coveries made in art or science. Thus the peoole argued, while the faculty threatened expulsion and talked of time-honored cus­ toms, ethics, professional courtesy, and tra­ ditions. • Out the matter soon assumed anew and surprising phase. A few days afterwards a cert fleate appeared in the daily papers bear­ ing the autograph signatures of Gov­ ernor McLane, Attorney General Roberts, Mayor Latrobe. City Postmaster Adreon, chiefs of State and municipal departments. Judges and Clerks of Courts, Federal officials and Congressmen, emphatically endorsing the action of tho Health Commissioner, and concurring in his opinion as to the efticady of th > remedy, asserting that they did so from personal experience with It and practical tests and observations. There could be no gainsaying such evi­ dence as this, but. as if to cap the climax, shortly afterwards there appeared another certificate with autograph signatures of leading practicing physicians from all parts of the Stats. Including the physicians of all the leading hospitals, the physician to the City Fire Department, the port physician, vaccine physician, and resident physicians of infirm­ aries, all endorsing the discovery and statins that it had been tested by them in hos­ pitals and private practice for weeks with wonderful curative effect, and that analy­ sis had shown no trace of opiates or poisons, prevalent in other cough mixtures. They further stated that they had been induced to take this step in view of the many hurtful preparations which contained narcotics and poisons, and of the danger consequent < n their use. The remedy in question is Red Star Cough Cure. Such a conclusive answer as this to the narrow arguments of the few, arrayed public sentiment on the side of the Health Commissioners, and it 1s signitlcant that Dr. Steuart has since been appointed to oflice by the Mayor i'or a third term, and has had his appointment unanimously confirmed by the City Council. Owmu- to the high professional reputation of the gentlemen who endorsed his action, as well as the enviable standing of the owners of the remedy, Tho Charles A. Vogeler Company, of this elly, wide-spread interest lias already been created in tho subject, not only here, but in Philadelphia, Washington and other neighboring cities. The feeling is generally expressed by professional men that Ked Star Cough Cure, on account of its freedom from narcotics and poisons, inaugurates a most deBirabie new depar­ ture in medicine. This is tho pronounc­ ed opinion of authorities like Dr. Faw- cett, who has been for thirty-three years resident physician of the I'nion Protestant Infirmary, in this city, and Prof. John J. Cald­ well. M. D., member of medical societies of Baltimore, New York, and Brooklyn, and with a long experience in civil and military hospitals. Both of these gentlemen, together with no less than fifty other practicing phy­ sicians of Maryland, have publicly put them­ selves on record as to the evil of narcotic medicines, and the consequent value and Im­ portance of tho new discovery referred to. It is conceded that public opinion has com­ pletely vindicated Dr. Steuart in his actlen, and that in his whole course be was actuated simply by an earnest desire to benefit the community at large. Fashions In iihosts. Of course, ghosts, like all else, have had to submit to a process of evolution in order to be adapted to their present environment. The ghost of the nine­ teenth is very unlike the ghost of the sixteenth century. For one thing, ghosto are no longer limited in their hours of "walking." They have considerably more liberty, as is only natural in these days. They are no more bound at cock crow to "shrink in haste away, and van­ ish from our sight." They no longer, "in habit as they lived," "with solemn m a r c h g o s l o w l y a n d s t a t e l y b y a n d they no longer restrict their appear­ ance to great occasions, when weighty words of warning or advice are needful. The modern ghost has been devel­ oped into a much less substantial and a much less reasonable being than its an­ cestors. It is sometimes reduced to a mere voice, or even to a message con veyed without a voice, or to a shadowy hand or dim vision floating vaguely in the air at a dark seance. And too often for their ghostly reputation's sake the communications made by these pseudo- ghosts are inanely foolish, pointless, and useless. The robust, matter-of-fact old-fashioned ghosts who haunted coun­ try houses and country lanes, and scared the children and maid servants, and terrified all the villagers with guilty co u sciences are hopelessly out of date. The lovely lady who wandered up and down lonely corridors perpetually wringing her hands--the bleeding body carrying its own ghastly head--all the murdered victims "shaking their gory locks," or stalking solemnly as the ghost of "buried Denmark"--most ma- jestical of ghosts until his message was delivered--are fast vanishing, even from the Chiistmas stories. Instead of these old friends we have now a bewildering and provoking tribe of apparitions, only half real ghost and half idea. We have spiritualistic man­ ifestations, new and occult powers and mysteries enough, but all supposed to be scientifically explicable. Now a nat­ ural and commonplace explanation is the ruin of a good ghost story. When we have tnrned down the lights and prepared for a delightful thrill of hor­ ror, one does not want one's ghost to be exnlained away; one feels cheated when thS "true ghost story" is only an ac­ count of a flashy apparition, which comes in a stupid kind of wqr to an­ nounce its own death; and one feels positively injured when it is explained by a scientific description of brain waves and transmitted consciousness. Ghosts, we sadly fear, have had their day--or night. N ow that they are so carefully discussed they will certainly die out. For discussion destroys cred­ ulity, and when no one believes any more in ghosts no one will ever again see a ghost--London Globe. The Lapse of Morals. In any given time just about such a number of car-axles will break down, just so many buildings will be burned, just so many good men will go wrong.

"What are you buying now?" asked Ned Stevenson of Andrew Powell, on meeting the latter in Bell's jewelry store. "I am looking for some present to give my wife on her birthday.

I have never failed to make my wife a present on her birthday every year for twenty- five years, and I am not out a cent thus far. "How do yon manage it?" "It is very simple. After we were married, when her birthday came around I gave her a twenty dollar gojid piece. When my birthday came around she gave me the twenty dollar piece back, and we have kept that up ever since, and neither of us is out a cent." --Texas Siflings. ; different person.--Chicago -Tribune. The Reputation of a Standard Arfidn Is seldom injured by aurroptltioos rivalry. Imitators of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have not only lost money by attempting underhand competition with It, but have actually con­ tributed to enhance tha estimation in which the genuine medicine in held. The public at large has for many years been acquainted with the ear marks that distinguish the real from the spurious, and cannot be persuaded that other articles sold in a somewhat similar guise are equally good. Fever and aiiuc, constipa­ tion, dyspepsia, and liver complaint nre not curable by cheap local bittevs, eye-openers, and tonics, but the fact is too well proven and too generally known to admit of conscientious dis­ pute, that for these and other maladies the treat household medicine is a safe and thorough rem­ edy. Not ouly in the United States, but in Mexico, South America, and the West Indies, its merits are widely reco . nized and its reputa­ tion too firmly established to be shaken. Belles Drinking on the Sly. Do you know the latest filling for alleged smelling bottles? Brandy! At all events, I saw one that was thus utilized as a flask. It was carried by as chipper a young thing as ever you saw. She sat next to me. I noticed that she once put it to her mouth instead of her nose, and that she sucked in plaee of sniffing. Instantly a gill--or say two fingers--of the contents disappeared like a baby dining from a nursing bot­ tle. Then she demurely transferred the nozzle from below her upper lip to above it, and pretended to be refresh­ ing herself by means of the smell. But the odor, as I couldn't help knowing, was brandy. Nobody could deny, any­ how, that she took a "snifter."--Cin­ cinnati Enquirer.

He refers to ths entire Western and Southern ooontry to bear him testimony to ths troth of the assertion that in no oase whatever will it ML to euro if the direc­ tions are atriotly fallowed and oarried ont. In a great many eases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fiuni- liei have been eared by a single bottle, with a perftot restoration of the general health. Xt is, however, prudent, and in every case more oertain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been eheoked, more especially in diffloult and long-standing cases. Usu­ ally this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, reanire a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonio, a single doce of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY TILLS will be suf­ ficient.
