FCEMLSCENCES OF PUBLIC HEN. BY BKH: PEBLET POOBE. ¥ #ea. Belknap was the greato*<*ite- ent at Washington in the summer of 876, and the question then came up. fhat was to become of him? The im­ peachment proved a failure. Carpentey r ':$|or the defense and Lord for the pros- , ^cution made their mark; the former jt^kould have been more impressive had Ahere been less effort at wit and humor. , It is not remembered that these are ele- fnents generally introduced into trial's pf such a character and before such ̂ tribunal. Neither Burke nor Sheridan jn the great impeachment case of War- ten Hastings (and their efforts cn that ion would, without other tran- endent claims, have immortalized 1 hair tnemory) indulged in either, and there • were some elements in the Belknap case that gave it an air of solemnity and pathos that the other lacked. The bar­ gain made by Marsh with the first wife; - the huckstering and business matters growing out of it, talked about and dis­ missed over her coffin; the marriage of the Secretary soon after with the sister of the then dead wife; the frequent and enormous sums paid by Marsh to him; the ominous hints whispered about the ysterious interviews at the Arlington: he hurried exposure; the frantic efforts avoid it; the malignant gratification shown by th=i Marshes--"we built the foundation on which they grew; we'll hnrl them from it into a quicksand from which they will never emerge"; the ad­ missions of guilt made by the unhappy Secretary at a moment when, as it had been suggested, he was contemplating suicide; the imprisonment in his own house; the watch set upon him to pre­ vent his escape: the measured tread of sentries before his door; their style of living; the fact of their appearance at a large dinner party at the Freemans' mansion, adjoining the Arlington (where the very day after, the testimony of the Marshes was taken), when their haggard looks and nervous manners excited gen­ eral comment, which was not entirely silenced by their early departure on the plea of indisposition; the first effort at manliness on the part of the fallen Sec­ retary, begging that the women might be spared, and he alone be allowed to assume the responsibility; the after­ thought, as evidenced by the insinua­ tions and vague statements made by counsel in the course of his argument, that it might by possibility happen that the Secretary would allbw the respon­ sibility to be placed where it was gen­ erally understood it, in ]>art, at least, belonged, no matter at what sacrifice to •• his dignity and feelings; his appearance one day at a Cabinet meeting and the next day held as a prisoner in the dock of the Police Court, waiting for five long hours the appearance of friends to bail him out; all these presented elements of such a character ns to give the case a singular and sad peculiarity, which we look for in vain in that of any other known to our records of criminal juris­ prudence. Nor was all this palliated in any way by the conduct and manner of the alleged criminal. He saw the point and smiled sympathetically at every effort of his counsel to be witty and amusing, while another party at home claimed sympathy from her friends by the strange announcement that, "it was such a shame that the politicians should be allowed to proseciAe such a man as Gen. B. in such a manner; the Presi­ dent ought to interfere and prevent it !" The Freedmen's Bureau played an important part in the great drama of reconstruction. Gen. Howard, its head, one of the best and bravest of men, wa> deficient in executive ability, and had but a superficial insight into character. The consequence was that about one- third of the subordinate officers of the bureau were kind-hearted but inefficient, and another third were adventurers, who were, to use an army phrase, "on the make." They demanded money for the negotiation of labor contracts between the planters and their former slaves, and they pocketed percentages on their dis­ bursements. The chief defect in the organization of the bureau was . that it was neither wholly civil nor wholly military, and as such the army had pretty much the same contempt for it that it had for the Christian and sani­ tary commissions, and complied with its requisitions even more grudgingly. They had for their care the white sol­ diers, while the bureau lobked after the negroes, whom the arn^y regarded with little sympathy. "v* George Washington, when President of the United States, made some invest­ ments in real estate in the city which bore his name, then being laid out in the woods. He purchased two lots in s^u we 634, north of the Capitol (on which the elongated buildings of Admiral Wilkes stand), for $968, although he says in a note to his wife: "But in this price I was favored, on condition that I should build two brick houses, three stories high each. Without this reduction, the • selling price of those lots would have cost me about $1,350. These lots, with the buildings thereon, when completed, will stand me in $15,000 at least." George Washington also belonged to a "real estate pool," that purchased a large quantity of land on the eastern branch, which they hoped to make a commercial quarter of the metropolis. Washington owned lots Nos. 5, 12, 14, and 15, the last three water lots in square 667, containing together 34,438 square feet. These he described as "ad- vantagepusly situated, and valued at 12 cents the square foot." President Lincoln, before he issued his Emancipation Proclamation, was be­ set by a swarm of arrogant Republican Congressmen, who assumed to be his providentially anointed teachers, but he avoided making an abrupt issue with them, and with hy» quaint, unfailing humor parried their fiercest importunity Wendell Pliillips, who called to see him soon after denouncing him in a public speech as the "slave-hound of Illinois," was sent away reconciled and submis­ sive to the Executive's policy, though, personally, Mr. Lincoln avoided taking him by the hand. There was nothing heard from Phillips after that about the Illinois slave-hound, but he told the other radicals that Lincoln's position was really one of great difficulty, and ho was doing the best he could. "Ah! Mr. Phillips, you have a great deal to say, what do you want?" was the question with which the tall backwoodsman, who •was President of the United States, probed the scholarly radical of Boston, who was talkative in proportion as he WW irresponsible, to the quick. Mme. Greville. "In her days of "maidenhood," says the New York Commercial Advertiser, referring to Mme. Greville, "she was a teacher in a Russian family; her father, a native of Normandy, was for years a professor in the University of Peters­ burg, whose feminine head was, like so many Slavs, eccentric, tyrannical, and cruel. This 'lady' ordered Madamoi- tlie forme}.', Hying into a rage, declared that if she did not obey her instantly she would have her flogged by her seris. The teacher replied with perfect composure: 'Have it done thoroughly then, madame; for, if I die not under the lash, I will proclaim your savagery to all the world.' The petticoated des­ pot hesitated, and the teacher, who felt her danger in a place so remote, lost no tiBre iaJlying from the place." selle Fie office, w atury hich to perform some menial she refused, whereupon The Pretty Baby. "Isn't he a pretty baby, John ? See. just look at liim," and the mother holds up the tiny creature to papa, who kisses and fondles him lovingly. j "Yes, Kate, he is a pretty babyf but Tom was a pretty baby, too, you Re­ member." , "Yes, Tom was a pretty baby--evenr- l»ody said so," and she . glances across the room at a sunny-faced 4-year old, "but Willie is not like Tom. Willie's, hair is light and his eyes," looking wist­ fully into the baby's face, "are dark, and so deep, that when I look in them I am almost afraid, they have such a far-awpy light, tliey seem to see something we cannot." , "Oh, nonsense! don't think of that. He'll grow up to be a fine fellow. But, Kate, I wouldn't think so much altoui him, he's a dear, good, little fellow, but I wouldn't worship him, it isn't right." "As if I could help it," the mother says, reproachfully, pressing the slight form closer and looking into the dark even yearningly. A month passes away, and one day they stand beside a small, white casket, within which the pretty babv is sleep­ ing. Ah, the mother's eyes were sharp, and when friends said. "What beautiful bright eyes he has," she saw the far­ away look and knew it as the light that never was on land or sea. - "Oh, John, John!" she moaned, "I knew lie wasn't long for this world. I could see it in his eves. Oh, mv prettv baby!" "" i "Yes, dear, you were right," says papa, and there is a quiver in the firm voice; "if it had pleased God to have left him w ith us we would have cared for him the best we could, but we mhst give him up, for it is His will, and He knows what is best for us." "Yes, I know it." and she stoops and cuts a tiny wisp of hair from the baby's head. "Oh, John, you said I wor­ shiped him. I did, oh, I did, and, God forgive me, I can't be sorry for' it now,he was such a dear, pretty baby." Years pass on. Otlvgr babies are born. They are all pretty babies, every one who sees them savs thnt, but none are like the baby with the far-away look. As they grow up they love to gather around mother's chair, and she never tires telling of the dark-eved baby who went to live with God. And, when with childish curiosity they open the Bible to look at the pictures, and find between the leaves a tiny wisp of hair tied with a white satin-ribbon, they touch it reverently and whisper beneath their breath: "The pretty baby." > Years still pass on. The children grow to be sturdy men and women, and as the mother watches them she some­ times thinks. "If he hail lived he would have been such a beautiful man," and then she smiles and is glad that in Heaven there is no time, and no matter how the others may change he is still the pretty babv. One day they gather around her bed, and looking in each other's face mourn­ fully whisper: "She is dying." She stretches her thin hand toward the table on which the ' old Bible rests, and they say: "The baby's hair." They place it in her hand. She kisses it tenderly t and a bright light conies into the dim old eyes, and they say: "What does she see?" She smiles and w hispers: "The.prettv baby." They place the wisp of hair on her breast and fold thejwrinkled hands upon it, and tenderly lav her by tli9 side of the pretty baby.--M. Quad. The Colored Sexton. The sexton of a Baptist Church in a large Western city was a good colored brother, who rarely took part in tin- social religious meetings of the society; but when lie did, all present held th« ir breath, for it was well known that someone was to l>e "hit on the head," and great amusement was in store for the others. On this particular occa sion the subject of the prayer meeting was "Christian Humility." Mr. Bas- com, one of the wealthiest church m?m bers, while leaning on his gold-headed cane and toying with his elegant watch chain, concluded his remarks, with great affectation of humility, by saying: "If I ever should be so favored as to reach heaven at. all, it seems to me that place in the most remote section, the most obscure corner, of that blissful re­ gion would be infinitely more than deserve. And when the call comes to roe to 'go up higher,'it seems to me shall feel like putting my hand upon my mouth, and my mouth in the dust, arid crying out, 'Unclean! unclean!' " When he was seated, the colored brother rose in the rear of the room, and slowly advancing, faced the audi: ence, and thus addressed them: "Brud- ders an' sisters, when T hears de angel Gabri'l blow de trumpet a-callin' me home, 'pears to me 111 be so powerful glad I'll just call out, 'Hoi' on dar, Ga­ bri'l ; I hears de trumpet, an' I's comin' mighty quick!'

THE cypress of Santa del Tule, in the Mexican State of Oaxaca, is said to be the oldest living thing upon the globe, which is a proposition somewhat diffi­ cult to prove. Humboldt speaks of it in 1851 as measuring thirty-four feet in diameter, 146 feet in circumference, and 280 feet between the two extremes. A WOJTDFRFCL and little-known flowei has been on exhibition at the Philadel­ phia Horticultural Society's rooms. It is called the moon flower, and bloome in the evening.

To PRESERVE buds of flowers a cor respondent of London Garden says "Gather the buds when nearly ready tc open, and seal up the end of the stall with sealing wax; wrap the bud in tis­ sue paper, and put in a tin box per fectly air tight.

The patients have the advantages of the a year for a pew goods merchant, and connts himself for tunate in having a pair of good strong legs. For one of his leg* he has a peculiar re­ gard, as he came near losing it through rheumatism. Athlophoros saved it for him, however, and for that invaluable remedy he no# cherishes an almost equal regard. The story is well told by Mr. Schrock in his own words: "During the Spring of 1884 I was strick­ en with rheumatism in its very worst form, and was confined to my bed entirely help­ less for about four weeks. My leg pained me so intopely that I could not let it rest on the bed without some support. So I had a pulley attached from the ceiling and to that a sling was fastened. I could rest my leg in this, changing the height, and in that manner I managed to obtain some little relief. During the four weeks I lay in bed I tried many remedies without avail. Final­ ly I made a change and employed physi - cians. They tried their very best to give me relief, but could not. Instead of get­ ting better, I was growing worse. j "My doctor finally decided that it would be necessary to make an incision in my , thigh, and if there was not a marked im- j proveraent in my condition from that op- j e rat ion, that amputation of my leg would 1 be required. This, as you may well imag- j ine, discouraged and disheartened me be­ yond measure. About this time my wife noticed in a Richmond, Iud., paper, for j which we subscribe, the name of a personal . friend who had been cured by the use of Althophoros. She called my attention to it, ana I said at once. 'Get a bottle and try it.' She bought a bottle, the doctor was discharged and we began using it immedi­ ately. I experienced great relief iu the first few doses. In two days after I began with the medicine I was in my store attending to my business, and I have not been troubled with rheumatism since." "How much Athlophoros did you use for ; this remarkable cure, Mr. Schrock?" "About one and a third bottles. The re- maining two-thirds of a bottle is still un­ used at my house." "Don't you think it was a very quick cure for BO bad a case?" was asked. "I certainly thiuk it not only quick," an­ swered Mr. Schrock, "but wonderful, and I feel that I cannot say too much for Athlo­ phoros. I never let an opportunity pass when I can recommend it, as it surely did everything for me." Mr. Schrock is now in the best of health, and considers himself a living example of what Athlophoros can do for those whom rheumatism has brought even to death's door.

LIEUTENANT WISSMAN'R report of hi exploration of the Kasai River (in Cen tral Africa) is decidedly interesting. I ,is a noble stream, he says, "in sonu places 3,000 'yards wide." It flows int< the Congo at a point nearly 400 mile: .b?lo\v where Mr. Stanley supposed i did. His progress was repeatedly'^ im. peded by the "thousands of hippopofam 'bathing in the river bed." At one tim» he sailed for twenty-four hours at i stretch between two howling mobs o cannibals thronging the river bank oi either side. The women seemed evei more ferocious than the men. Finally they put off for him in canoes, beating their breasts and throwing spears. Tin light lasted six hours, and hundreds o: the natives, women as well as men, wer» killed before they abandoned the at tack.

Yet in how many instances do we see this truth admitted iu theory,ignored in practice. The reasou that HosteIter's Stomach Bitters is suc­ cessful in so many cases, with which remedies previously tried were inadequate to cope, is at­ tributable to the fact that it is a medicine which reaches and removes the causes of the various maladies to which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver complaint, gout, rheuma­ tism, disorder of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it.
