Hyde Park, Mass., Feb. 13, 1S76. Mr. H. B. Stevens: Jrar.Slr: About ten year9 ago my health failed through the depleting effects ol dyspepsia; nearly a year later I was attacked by typhoid-fever in Its worst Jorm. It settled In my back, nnd took the form of a large deep-seated abscess, which was fif teen months In gathering. I had two surgical op erations by the be--t skill In the State, hut received no permanent cure. I suffered great pain at times. and was. constat! tlyweikened by a profuse discharge lulso lost small plec.es of bone at different times. Matters ran on tints about seven years, till May, 1S7-1. when a friond recommended me to go to your oflice. nnd talk with you of the virtue of VEGE TINE I did so. and by your kindness passed through your manufactory, noting the ingredients, i. by which your remedy is produced. By what I nw and heard 1 gained some confi dence In VEGKTINE. I commenced taking It soon after, but felt worse from ItafffVcts : tiil 1 persevered, and soon felt it was benefitting me In other respects. Yet I did not sue the results I desired till I had taken it faithfully for a little more than a year, when the dilliculty in the back was cured: and for nine months I have enjoyed the best of health. I have in that time gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before hi my life, and I was nevermore nble to perform labor than now. During the past tew weeks I had n scrofulous swelling as large as my first gatheron iii.oiherpart of my bodv. I took VKtJETINE faithfully. and it removed it level with the surface In a month. I think Isiiould have been cured of my main tronblesooner if I had taken larger doses, after having become accustom ed to Its effects. Let your patrons troublel with scrofula or kidney diseases understand that it takf s time tocu recti ron ic diseases: and. if they will patiently take VEGE TINE. It will, in my judgment, cure them. With great obligations I am. Yours very truly, (I.W.AIANSFIELD, Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Churen. VEGETINE PREPABED BY H. E. STEVlNSjBOSTON, MASS. Vegetine is Sold by all Druggists. T J.

No other city except Rome gives it self up so completely to the intoxicat ing pleasures and excesses of the car nival season as does Madrid. During this annual period the people resign all labor and devote themselves sj'ste matically to the greatest fieedora, oft eu over-stepping the bounds of pro priety, and becoming forgetful of pelf respect. But the carnival period is accepted as being sufficient excuse for nearly any imprudence short of mur der. It is to give the reader a picture of an occurrence at Madrid during the carnival thut wo have taken up our pen. The circumstance which we shall relate transpired but a few years ago. It never became very publio, but was whispered about among the courts of Kurope, and we believe fin ally got into the newspapers of Lon don and Paris. As we have said, it was during the carnival season, and one of the most distinguished ladies of the court gave a masked ball, to which all the privi leged class of citizens and people of rank, including the several embassies, were invited. The Spaniards are pro verbially hospitable, and on suub oc casions each member of the embassies is permitted to invite any of his coun trymen who may chance to be in the city. Our fellow countryman, Bayard Taylor, one of the most extensive travelers of the day, chanced at the I time to be in Madrid, and. as was cus tomary, receiveu an in viiiuoti to tne masked ball to which we refer. It has been more than hinted, also, that it was through Mr. Taylor that the facts of the following romantic story got first whispered about. But cer tain it is that Mr. Taylor, or any member of the American embassy can verify the facts. General Arieta was as well known in Madrid a few years since as the Duke of Wellington wad in London. The occasion of the masked bail re ferred to was of marked display. Ev en royalty was present in disguise, though that was nothing remarkable, the queen having long before sacrific ed tho respect of her subjects by Ma sons so public and so brazen as to be disgusting. We speak of the mother of the present youthful king, 'the ball was long after remembered as the most splendid social affair which had occurred in the Caatiliau capital for many a It-ng year. General Arieta had partaken rather freely of charapague, but not enough to more than stimulate him to a con cert pitch ; he was too old a cam paigner loget under stimulus. A pretty orange girl pretty at least in figure, for as to her face, like the rest of the ladies, she was masked was observed to pay special attention to the old soldier. The general could not but observe with amorous eyes the exquisite little feet and beautiful ly formed limbs, which a somewhat short skirt served to display, nor did he fail to observe the delicately round ed outlines of this young girl's figure, her dainty waist and beautiful throat and neck. Indeed, he was quite tak eu by storm, and was prepared tostrike his flag at the first summons to sur render. On her part, the orange girl danced with General Arieta, hung upon his arm, chatted volubly with him, and, in short, quite appropriated and charmed the old soldier. No Span iard was ever known to get too much of the waltz, so General Arieta kept on in dizzy delight, with his arm en circling his little oraugegirl's waist. "Alas!" sighed the General, as the two sought the retirement of a con servatory leading out of the dancing hall, "I am absolutely miserable." "And why, pray?" "Because I shall be obliged to leave you so soon." "Leave me?1' "Yes, I have to tike my.carriage by midnight." "Why so early?" "To attend a cabinet meeting." "Where?" "At the palace of Aranquez." "That is some distance." "True " "Add you are notafraid of brigands upon -the road ?" asked the orange girl. "Oh, no, my little queen, I have no WM "I suppose yon are so well armed." THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1878. "On the the contrary, I take no weapons with me." "Ah ! you are so brave, you sol diers." t "You will meet me at another time?" "Perhaps," was her r.roh reply. "But promise me." "Where?" And then the two drew near to gether upon the seat, and there was some low and confitientinl conversa tion, no doubt to the entire satisfac tion of both parties. The market! flirtation of the gener al with the 'young orange girl wa9 not unobserved by the assembled fashion and rauk of the city, and. when the two separated a few moments later, the old soldier was compelled to run the gauntlet of mauy a sarcastic re mark. His carriage oame at last, and, en tering it, he started at once to fulfill his appointment. It was a clear, bright night ; the moon was full and serene in its effect. The general looked out as he left the city gatei and started upon the road, then settled himself into nu easy po sition, hoping to catch a nap by the way.. He was soon dreaming of the bewitching eyes that had been beam ing upon him through the mask of the orange girl. Suddenly his ears were saluted by a loud peremptory direction : "Haiti" At which the vehiole as suddenly came to a stand-still. He was hardly sufficiently awake to ask himself what all this signified, or how any one dared to interfere with a person of his rank upon the road, when the door of the vehicle was thrown open and a couple of brigands, armed to the teeth, jumped into the carriage in the most unceremonious manner. The general was too-much amazed to make or attempt any resistance. "What means this insult?" de manded General Arieta. "Don't use harsh words general," said one of tho brigands, while the other, putting his head out of the car-riase-window, gave the word for the vehicle to drive on. "Now, general," said he who was evidently captain of his fellows, "You are my prisoner." "So it seems; but what is your ob ject" "Answer ray questions faithfully nnd-trulyand I shall not put you to any great inconvenience." "But suppose I decline?" "My advice to you is not to try it." "Why not?" "Because we should slit your ears and nose in a manner which would make you a human curiosity to your fiiends and the public," was the cool reply. The general saw it would be useless to contend with these men. He knew how literally they often car ried out their threats, when they held a prisoner for ransom, and he shud dered literally, though a brave man, at the idea of being personally maim ed for life, as they threatened. The carriage, in the meantime, was moving along at a smart pace. "Whither are you conducting me?" asked the queen's officer. "You will be informed by and by," was the reply. "But I have an important appoint ment." "What do you suppose we care for that?" "You will be made to suffer for this." "First catch your hare," said the robber chief. "Take what you desire of my per sonal property, hut I beg you will not detain me," said ttie Geueral. "Well," said he who had .acted as spokesman, "you may give me that signet ring, general." "Nay, anything but that." "It suits my fancy, and, indeed, it is all I require of your personal ef fects." "I will give 3ou a note for a hun dred pesos, rather." "It will not auswer ; I require the ring." "Strange!" "Do you think so?'' "It's intrinsic vulue is not half the sum." "True, but it is a signet ring." The General reluctantly handed his ring to the robber, saying : "Let our interview be brief, for you detain me from a cabinet meeting of importance." "Exactly ; and now, General, what question in politics is'up that should demand a cabinet meeting at so unus ual au hour?" "That is the queen's business." "Undoubtedly, but you have not answered me, and until you doj be sure you lose time." It seemed of no use to try to avoid the inquiries of the curious brigand. And then commenced aseries of in terrogatories which showed remark able intelligence on the robber's part, and to which the General responded frankly and truthfully. He' was forc ed to retail all the court gossip, to tell who wa9 in favor with the queen, and who was under the ban of her dis pleasure. At last, after the General had been absolutely pumped dry of all the in formation he was capable of impart ing, and without robbing him of any other property save the signet ring, the carriage was ordered to stop. The two brigands stepped out, aniTwereat once joined by one who had mounted the box be9ide the driver. The two robbers bade the General "good morn log," and immediately disappeared. The author of this frolic, the beau tiful orange girl of the masked ball, the dashing brleand chief who stop ped the General's coach, and who. while seated beside him extorted agre:ttness. We do indeed know with dozen court spcrets, and stole his slg- net ring, was none other thun Eu genia, then Countess of Montijo, and now the ex-empress of France.

That year shall kings and lords be slain. And many other people near them ; A dry Summer that year shall be. All that are born therein you'll see They shall be strong and covetous.

Senator Paddock's eulogy on the la mented Morton delivered on tho 17th inst., was pronounced by the Chicago jfWouneand Cincinnati Gazette corres pondents the mo3t notablo delivered by any western man. We take pride in laj'ing it before our readers, who will, we are sure, take equal pleasure in perusiug it: Mr. Paddock. Mr. President, in behalf of the people of tho great trans Missouri country, whom In part I have the honor to represent upon this floor, whose interests Senator Morton al ways advocated and defended, whose earnest, faithful friend he always was, I beg to add my poor, brief word of eulogy to those which have already been po fitly, so eloquently spoken here to-day- I never Baw Senator Morton rise to address the senate during our brief service together here when I was not oppressed by the fear that it might bo his last effort in tli is Chamber. Indeed he appeared to me as one standing ever in the very shadow of the up lifted hand of the angel of death ready and waiting for the always impend ing, the always expected blow. He rose from his chair with great difficul ty, and often undoubtedly with much pain. Frequently while speaking. he was compelled, from sheer physical exhaustion, to resume his Beat; and some of the greatest efforts of bis life were made while sitting in yonder ciiair. A les3 determined spirit would have succumbed to so serious a physi cal derangement; but his great intel lect seemed to become clearer, bright er, more vigorous, his iron will to strengthen, IiIb moral courage to in crease, as his physical organism be came weaker from the attacks of the insidious disease that was slowly but surely undermining it. I have seen the mighty oak, with its giant bole symmetrical and strong, with Its wealth of graceful limbs, with its glory of leaf and shade forming, all in all, one of the high est types of blended power and beauty in nature a very monarch among his fellows, to whom they seemed to mute ly bow, as if with acknowledgment of primaoy. Afterward I have seen this wonder of the forest which nature had so lavishly expended her forces to upbuild, and which had during many generations withstood the as saults of the angry tempests, gaining in each struggle iucreased develop ment and strength suddenly rent and riven, a deepened wound upon its noble trunk pointing out the lightning's tiack ; and yet its umbrag eous canopy of limb and leaf appear ed, if possible, more perfect, more beautiful than ever. I cannot tell perhaps no one but the great Creator himself will ever know whether there may not have been specially imparted to it, through Bomo Dryad medium, something of that force of will from the source of all power which gave to that charred and brok en and wounded trunk the needed strength to draw from the fruitful soil the sustaining elements necessary to the continuance of its great life. A few years later I have found the stupendous-growth of nature a blasted, withered thing. A second bolt from Jove's awful hand bad descended and robbed it forever of life aud strength and beauty ; for the very last time it had "flung down its green glories to battle with the winter'sstorm." In respect of its inherent strength, it's remarkable development.its super lative power and endurance at the maturity of its growth, en titling it to superior rank among its fellows as well as in its final blight and decay, this wonderful creation of nature wa9 apt ly illustrative of the great life of the deceased senator before whose open grave to-day we mourn. To him there was given a mental aud physical or ganism with each faculty, each force so carefully, so perfectly adjusted to every other, the whole constituting a man-hood of such symmetry and strength and power that in any sphere of life must have commanded for him superior station among his fellows. Endowments so 'rare were his that of their own force, by their own momentum, they impelled him to the fore-front, to intellectual primacy, to leadership; and this position 'once secured was easily held through that instinctive concession of precedence which the masses of men always make to the possessor of such faculties. As the oak grew broader and stronger from its tempest conflicts, so did this nobie manhood broaden and'strength- en in tho encounters Incident to a life VOL. 22. T 0. 32. of leadership among men. Those of us who were with Senator Morton here did kuow and appreciate him, and well now can we testify to his what god-like manfulues?, with what self-revprence, with what self-control, with what power of will he did de port and. maintain himself after a great part of the force of hl3 physical nature hal been blasted by an invisi ble blow from, that mysterious power which, at will, sends the shaft that strikes to death the forest oak, or the eliock that palsies the body of a leader of men. We, Bir, do well remember that with nil this blight upon his physical powers, the great Senator bore an In tellectual lance to the very last day of his career in thin Chamber whioh no adversary ever dispised, or was over eager to measure. Often during the period of my service here have I seen the whole Senate filled with admira tion of him, when, after many days, perhaps weeks, of continuous debate on some -important question in which be had constantly participated, and when the eudurance of even the very strongest had been greatly overtaxed, he rose, and with no external evid ence of weariness , restated reviewed all the arguments of perhaps a dozen adversaries iu thediscussion.and with one great masterful overpowering pre sentation of the law and the facts in the case answered them all at once, leaving his opponents if not utterly overcome, at least convinced the case had been greatly damaged by the blows of an intellectual giant, and hia j own party colleagues satisfied that the Bubjuct had been exhausted and no further effort on their part would be necessary or useful. When "the fuIK river of his speech came down" upon an opposing disputant with its richly laden argosies of fact and pre cedentof thought, philosophy aud logic if his opponent himself, -was not a master in debate he "was sure to be ovewhelmed, for only such an one could stand at all against the al most resistless current of his argu ment. Mr. President, this was Senator Morton as yon and I and all of us knew him ; but, sir, there was a good deal of him beyond all this which none of us ever did or ever can exact ly know. The silent iuner life the unspoken thoughts the heart strug gles of this great man in bid continued conflict with the disease wich, first by a sudden and terrible, but only parti ally successful blow and afterward by Insidious approaches, waged un ceasing war aguinst his physical na tureif they could be fully written out would make such a page of eulogy as alone would secure for him the moat enduring immortality. But they will never be fully known until that great day when all the secrets of the heart shall be laid bare; they went down with him into the grave into the grave did I say, sir? No, they went along with that brave spirit of which they were begotten to be pres ent as witnesses at the great fiual ac counting, to vouch for the proper use of the wonderful powers so generous ly loaned him from the common store upon which the drafts of mortals are honored as they are worthy as they have need. Mr. President, who of us ha9 not now iu his memory, photographed" there ineffkeably, that sad, thoughtful but resolute face,as through the corri dors and into this chamber, borne in his chair by two stalwart men, he came to his great daily service ? The noisy throng in the passages became silent and gave1 way at his approach with the same instinctive reverence that greets thegallant soldier who has borne a distinguished part in a memo rable batcle when afterward he is brought from the field weary, worn wounded, aud dying.. The doors flew open before him always as If by mag ic, and party spirit could at no time run so high as to cause to be withheld from him when he entered here the most cordial, tho most sincere, the most respectful greeting" from every senator present. And who of us will forget the charming heartiness of his greeting, kindliness and geniality to ward all, the lowliest equally with the highest? But, Mr. President, Senator Morton has gone. His voice will never again be heard in this chamber. His great spirit, hia noble example,- his valued precepts, will remain for our guidance but we shall see him no more here for ever. At length the deatli shaft struck him full and strong, and be fell to rise no more. O, What a fall was thert, my countrymen! Then I, and yoa, and all of us fell down. One of the bravest and truest and strongest ; one for whose voice the na tion listened in the hour of peril ; one to whosejudgment the people defer red when the country was in trouble and in distress; a patriot, a practical statesman, a man of work, a man of immortal deeds, a kindly generous man, withal, is gone. Let the nation let all the people mourn ! The Rev. Henry Ward Beecherwas interviewed at Boston on tbe ques tion of endless punishment. Hedoes not regard the position recently as sumed by him on this question as sev ering him from the Congregational denomination. He holds that no doctrine is fundamental except that which is fundamental to the forma tion of the christian character, and that a man should be at liberty to set aside a doctrine that is simply funda- mental to a system. He rejects doo- trlnes which be bol laves thousands of OFFICIAL paper' of thecoukttv Calvinistio ministers now in commu nion with orthodox cbnrcbes reject. In restating bis views on the question of endless punishment- he divides the orthodox into two classes, one of. whioh holds the belief that probation does not oeasn with death. These ppople teach that men will suffer as long as the sin, but they do not feel at liberty to say that men will sin for ever. They hold that Hie New Test ament teaches no such doctrine as that men' will continue to si i forever who go out from this lire impenitent. To this olass Mr. Beeoher declares that ho belongs, and ho claims that the whole drift of the sermon so much talked about, as well as tho whole drift of his nature, was "to magnify, and not minify, moral in fluences; to present to the hearts of' men a more glorious and not a ieaa ! in fluential view of the divine natuie and divine administrations."
