Samuel Smith of Baltimore, Mr. Sfls- bee of Salem, and Mr. Dudley of Al­ bany. The latter, who was the son of the royal collector at Newport, Rhode Island, in 1775, spent several years of his early life in the East Indies. On his return to America he took up his residence in Albany, where he married Hiss Blandina Bleecker, an ;;nnt of Mrs. Horatio Seymour, and a quired a large fortune. After his death, without children, Mrs. Dudley founded in his honor and for the benefit of science the Dudley Observatory, the most magniti- •eently endowed of any similar institu­ tion this side of the Rocky Mountains. In politics Mr. Dudley, notwithstanding his Tory ancestry and his federalism, was a Democrat and a stanch adherent of the Albany regency. In person he was one of the noblest looking men of the day, of very dark complexion, em­ browned by the East India sun, chiselled features, and the unmistakable air of the well-born and the well-bred. Gen. Smith, the hero of Mud Bank in the Revolution, was a gentleman of great dignity. He had been a member of the House in 1795, a' Senator for ipany years, and often elected to the Presidency of the Senate. He was high authority iri that body, and in all matters pertaining to commerce, having been, at an early period of his career, 6tte of the most distinguished merchants in the Uaited States, the head of the great mercantile houses of Smith, Hedlins & McBlair, and Smith & Bu­ chanan. He was an able debater, and frequently addressed the Senate. Like many other handsome old men, the General was very sensitive on the poiht of personal vigor. One day, during the session of 1832, when the compromise tariff bill was under discussion, Mr. Clay alluded to his own increasing age, wfch the remark that "he was getting ojd." The day affcer, Gen. Smith began a speech on the bill as follows t "I make no apology for approaching age." This was regarded as a fling at Mr. Clay, who in liis three days' speech soon after­ wards gave the General a Rowland for his Oliver. After Mr. Clay had concluded, Gen. Smith rose and said "he was sorry to find he had unintentionally offended the honorable gentleman from Ken­ tucky. In referring to the vigorous age he himself enjoyed, he had not sup­ posed he should give offense to others "•who complained of the infirmities of age. The gentleman from Kentucky • was the last one who should take the remark as disparaging to his vigor and personal appearance, for when that gentleman spoke to us of his age, he heard a young lady near lrim exclaim: 'Old, whv, I think he is mighty pretty?'" Mr. Clay in reply said "he placed a high valuo on the compliment of which the honorable Senator was the channel of communication, and he the more valued it as he did not recollect more than once before in his life to have re­ ceived a similar compliment. He was happy to find the honorable gentleman disclaimed the system of proscription, and he would, with his approbation, hereafter cite hifc authority in opposi­ tion to it. * * * The gentleman's appeal to his acts in '95 is perfectly safe; for, old as I am, my knowledge of his course does not extend back that far. sHe would take the period the gentleman named, since 1822. It comes then to this: The honarable gentleman was in favor of protecting manufactures, but he had turned--I need not use the word--he had abandoned manufactures. Thus ^ , "Old politicians chew on visions past, % And totter on business to the last." ; • Mr. Smith--The last allusion is un­ worthy of the gentleman. Totter, sir, I totter! Although twenty years older than the gentleman I can yet stand firm, and am able to correct his errors. I could take a view of the gentleman's raurse which would show how incon­ sistent he has been. Mr. Clay ex­ claimed: "Take it, sir, take it; I dare you!" [Cries of "Order."] "No, sir," said Mr. Smith, "I will not take it; I will not so far disregard what is due to the dignity of the Senate." The Senate then adjourned, and thus ended this Sassage-at«arms between the hero of Ind Bank and Henry Clay of Kentucky. Gen. Smith at this time was 80 and Mr. Clay about 55 years of age. Mr. Silsbee, the other merchant of the Senate, was noted for his commer- ~eitff*s«ga<utv, his sound financial judg­ ment, and the enormous length of his nose. On his first appearance in the Senate Chamber Thomas Lane, the celebrated wit, who had lounged into the gallery from his residence on New Jersey Avenue, exclaimed: "The nose .. have it this time, by Jove!" Mr. Silsbee was John Quincy Adams' financial agent and manager for fifty years. Bv judicious investments he accumulated for that gentleman, in­ clusive of the $200,000 he inherited from his father, the large estate of half a million. Among other army 'contractors- of high 8ud low degree at or about Wash­ ington was one who had purchased, as the highest bidder, the dead horses of the Army of the Potomac, for which he paid $1.76 each, delivered at his "estab­ lishment. " They averaged, in the winter, fifty a day, and were thus dis­ posed of: First, the shoes were pulled C(ff; then the hoofs were cut off: then the manes and tails Were sheared. The animal was then skinned, the carcass was boiled that fhe tallow might be ex­ tracted, the best of the bones were sold for knife-handles, and the remainder to be ground up for fertilizers. The total result was that these different parts of the dead nag were worth, when pre­ pared for market, at least $25 a head, and the profits of the contractor were consequently very large. Judge David Key, of Tennessee, who was Presidtnt - Hiiyes' Postmaster- General after he had served a short term in the Senate, told a good story of a man in the mountain region of his State, who was a stereotype candidate for local offices of all descriptions, but who would never give a decided opinion npon any question. On one occasion, when he was a candidate for the posi­ tion of sheriff, there was great excite­ ment on the enforcement of a school tax. He addressed quite a gathering at a muster, but evaded the only question that the audience wanted to hear al>oiit, and just as he was closing, a fellow shouted: "Tell jis about the school tax. Are you for it, or are vou not?" The crowd cheered, and the orator, thus pressed for a declaration of opinion, said: "Gentlemen, you have a right to ask for an answer. I have no conceal­ ment to make. I am a frank man, and to you I say in all frankness, if it is r. good thing I am for it, and if it is a bad thing I am agin it." •- GLUE.--In order to render glne in sol- able in water, even hot water, it is only , wben dissolving glue for use, to add a little potassium bichromate tc the water and expose the glued part to the light. The proportion of bichro­ mate will vary with circumstances; but for most purposes, about one-fiftieth of the amount of glue will suffice. Hie Grandest Sight on the Plains. I had camped near the forks of tile Platte, and was aroused just atdavlight by footsteps around me. After listening for a moment I felt sure that they were the footsteps of horses. They seemed to be circling around me--not at a can­ ter--not at a trot, but at a moderate walk. It was well that .1 had secured my horse in a thorough manner, for I never saw him so excited.. He tugged and pulled at his lariat, stood up on his hind legs, neighed and snorted mid pawed and pranced, and it was his action that gave me a clue to the identity of my visitors. They were wild horses. ' •' Had they been Indian ponies my trained horse would have remained as dumb and silent as a post. Indeed, In­ dians would not have approached me, in that manner. I remained very quiet, hoping the horses would remain in sight until day­ light should give me a good view of them. I had to wait for a full hour, but when the light grew strong the spec­ tacle was one to make a man's blood tingle. The circle liad been enlarged until it was half a mile across, and my little camp was the center. Every horse, and there were 12(5 of them, stood with his head to this center, and sol­ diers could not have taken positions on the skirmish line in more precise order. I pitied mv own animal. He stood with the lariat drawn taut and trembled in every limb, and he was as wet with sweat as if I had galloped him twenty miles, I realized how he must long to break away and join the wild rovers and forever end his drudgery. I dared not rise to my feet for fear of alarming the drove, but, nevertheless, I ha<l a clear view of each horse. Most of them were magnificent animals. Manes do%n on their shoulders find tails on the grass. They were of various colors, and they ranged in age from the yearling colt up to the veterans prob­ ably twenty years old. The bays pre­ dominated, but every color was present. We had been observing each other about ten minutes, when a jet black stallion , who was the leader of the herd, gave a snort, threw up his heels into the air and broke off at a gallop, followed by the drove in a single file. They ran in a true circle, and they made the circuit five times before stopping. Then, at another signal from the leader, the circle broke and the horses wheeled into a long, single line, or "company front." Troop horses could not have done better. I thought at first the line meant to charge me, but at a signal it made a left wheel and galloped straight off on the plain for a mile. Then it broke, assumed the shape of a triangle and re- tunwvl. When the leader was within pistol-shot he wheeled out and the horses formed in a square, with the four ycarliu^s in the center. They galloped off for a mile or so, broke again and re­ turned in two ranks. I had an almost irresistible desire to kill the leader with a bullet. Indeed, I reached for my rifle with that intent, but then earno the reflection that it would be little short of murder. Such another perfect horse I had never seen. His black coat shone like silk, his limbs and body were perfection, and he had the speed and bottom of a race horse. Not a halt was made for a full hour, anf then it was only preparatory to taking a swift departure. The last maneuver was a circle at a slow trot, and each horse whinnied in a coaxing manner to my own steed. Poor Selim! He strug gled in the most frantic mauner to break loose, and when finding all his efforts of no avail he threw himself down on the grass and actually groaned his dis­ appointment. I rose up then and waved my blanket. Instead of rushing off in affright as 1 expected, the leader of the band delib­ erately approached me a few rods and stood and snorted and pawed as if send­ ing forth a challenge. Then I set up a shouting, waved the blanket some more, aiul he took his place at the head, formed the band at "company front," and they went off at a gallop and main­ tained it as long as I could see the wav­ ing line.--If.

"Twii of t^ie toes of- my buried leg overlap eiw;h other and pain me dread­ fully," said the wife of Jacob Berean of Marlboro, Massachusetts. The leg had been amputated and buried one month.

THIS is the season for gathering French truffles, and the truffle-growing districts ^ between the Alps and the Rhone are very busv, the single depart­ ment of Vaucluse yielding nearly half a million dollars' worth iu a good vear. The finest, however, come from teri- gord. Truffles are often adulterated and "jockeyed." Hollow places are filled with clay, or several small ones made to appear as a single large one. In Paris, even, imitation truffles are made of potatoes coated with earth from the Perigord district, or pale* ones blackened with oak dves. How to Sleep Well. | fu sleeping much depends on secur­ ing a comfortable position. Lying on! the back would seem to give the mosf ( ease, but general experience and prac- • tiee prove that it does not, and it is I liable to some definite objections. In a ; weakly s>ate of the heart and blood : vessels, and in certain morbid conditions , of the brain, the blood seems to gravi­ tate to the back of the head, and to pro- j duce troublesome dreams. Persons who ! have contracted chests, and who have 1 had pleurisy and retain adhesions of the : lungs, do not sleep well on the back. ; Nearly all who are inclined to snore dc so in that position. For these and othei j reasons it is, therefore, better to lie ox | the side, and in lung diseases to lie or th'e weak side, so as to leave the health^ lung free to expand. It is well U ' choose the right side, Wcause. wher I the body is thus placed, the food gravi tates more easily out of the stomacl : into the intestines. Sleeping with the ! arm thrown over the head is to be dep- ; recated; but this position is often as : sumed during sleep, because circula­ tion is then free in the extremities and the head and neck and the musclef j in the chest are drawn up and fixed Irv ' the shoulders, and thus expansion ol ; the thorax is easy. The chief objec- , tions to this position are that it creates The Indian Canal-Villager' in Mexico. For half a mile on either side, of the grand canal, the country is threaded with a j>erfect network of smallei canals, which lead away the water foi irrigation purposes. Each little garden plot is an island, and it is impossible tc go anywhere except in a canoe. A stranger would lose himself at once ir this labyrinth of water courses, but the native glides in and out. and conies and goes, in his little skiff, happy in his na­ tive element, and filling the canals and shaded water courses with life and ani­ mation. The scene on the grand canal in the early morning is picturesque and full ol interest. From a hundred side stream? suddenly appear crafts of all descrip­ tions, loaded down to the water's edge with vegetables and flowers. An In­ dian with a single paddle sits in flit stern of each canoe, and propels if swiftly and skillfully along thr-mgli the myriad crafts toward the city. This.per­ son is often a woman, and her blacli hair floats out liehind Iter as she beiufo over her {Middle, and her white teeth flash as she laughs and answers mer­ rily to the hails of her companions ir the other boat«. Sometimes, if the ca­ noe is a large one, the vegetable mar takes his whole family on board, and hilew he stands up in the stern and paddles his craft along, his spouse sitf forward and uurses her dusky litth ones, or arranges the vegetables and flowers for market. On feast days and flower festivals the scene is full ol beauty. Every Indian twines a wreath alxmt his hat, the women aud chil­ dren deck themselves with flowers, and | the fleet comes down the stream witb j its occupants singing, and--on the large I 1 >oat,s- dancing the jarabe at the bows. | The jarabe, more familiarly known as the fandango, is the favorite danct I of the native Mexicans. A man and a i woman stand opposite to each other-- < or if the women are scarce, the men pair off--and danc?, or rather stamp, a kind of smothered shuffle, which it neither clog-dance nor reel. The dan­ cers do not need much space to execute it successfully, and hence the large, flat- bottomed freight boats, which ply be­ tween the city and Clialco, afford ample accommodation for their simple revels. The music on these occasions is usually a harp and a bandolon, the latter being an instrument much like the guitar, with twelve metal strings, and the dan­ cers generally chime in with theii voices, making a wild chorus, which, once heard, can never be forgotten. There can be nothing more picturesque than a fleet of these noisy, flower- decked l>oat-people out for a feast-day lark.--Overland Monthly. THI sftamtuoF mam. Elysium was the name given by the an­ cient Greeks to the resting place of the righteous dead, where they should enjoy eternal peace and happiness. None but the pure in heart, the truthful and gener­ ous could tread the asphodel meadows of the Elysian fields, audit was aland of ever­ lasting delight. When, therefore, Mrs. Kate Sherman, of Streator. 111., said re­ cently that she had been in Elysium, though of course she spoke figuratively, it argued that some great good fortune and joy had oome to her. And such, indeed, fras the truth. Mxa. Sherman tells how it was in this way: "I have suffered from inflammatory rheumatism for more than thirty years. Heretofore the pain would succumb to the application of hot wet flannel, but at my last attack circumstances had conspired to aggravate the disease, and I became help­ less. My hands and feet wore swollen enormously, and I suffered almost mortal agony. My physician bought me a l>ottle of Athlophoros. After taking the third dose I was in Elysium, aud was free from pain.

Before she commenced taking it she could not wait, fhe w as so badly afflicted with rheumatism, but she was soon able to walk. She sleeps well. Mr. John Hews, our neighlvor, was very badly off with the rheumatism last winter, and was not able to work or even to pet out of his room. 0ne Iwjttle of Athlouhoios cured him. butf he hup tij keep it by him to take when he feels liis -old iHlliculties." Another clergyman, tUo Rev. C. Hartley, of Huntley, 111., giw ? this as his ex­ perience with the renredy: "For six months I suffered severely from - an attack of rheumatism. A friend sent me a notice of several reliable cures effect­ ed by Athlophoros. J procured tbe medi­ cine, and less than one bottle completely cured me, and I have not had the least indi­ cation of a return of the painful disease. I have recommended it to othersVand results similar to those in my own case have fol­ lowed. I regard Athlophoros as invalu­ able." A. M. Blakney, who lives at the corner of Union and Green streets. Decatur, 111., only confirms the general testimony to the value of Athlophoros when he says: "During the past winter I was stricken with a very severe attack »f rheumatism--a disease with which I had been afflicted for several years--and was rendered almost helpless, aud confined to my bed. I tried various medicines, and was prescribed for by physicians with no avail. Finally I was induced by my druggist to^ry Athlophoros. I was relieved and cured so quickly that words could not tell my surprise. I do not hesitate in recommending it to any on® Buffering with that most painful complaint, rheumatism."

The experience of many years, has but too clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of quinine and other drugs to effectually com bat the progress of" intermittent, congestive, and bilious remittent fevers; while, on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters--a medicine congenial to the frailest constitution, and derived from purely liotanic sources--affords a reliable safeguard against malarial disease, and arrests it when developed.
