Ifen?niscenee of Kaync and Webster.
Hon. Henry S. Foote devotes one of his re?
miniscences, now in course of publication, to
Senator Robert S". Haytie, of this State, giving
an account of the way in which, as described
by himself, he overcame the habit of stammer?
ing in youth, and adding a graceful tribute by
him to his old antagonist, Daniel-Webster. Mr.
Foot? writes:
Gen. Hayne was of medium stature, well
dazzling, and of a ligt
tenance wore a very mi'd and benignant ex?
pression^ His face was cleanly shaven, and he
was elegantly but unostentatiously attired. His
manners were marked with a graceful and win?
ning affability which I have never seen sur?
passed I asked him how he bad been able to
acquire such, wondrous facility of expression,
aha'sttch remarkable capacity for keeping alive
the in Lerest of his audience. He answered my
queries without any false modesty, and without
a particle of vulgar 'egotism, very nearly in
these words: "You give me credit for much
facility of expressioh, and for having;sncce?s-:
fully ^cultivated to some extent the graces of
rhetorics- display. I shall surprise you, I do
not doubt, when I tell you that at sixteen
years of age I was an awkward) stammering
boy. I desired to become a lawyer, and was
assiduously preparing myself for the legal pro?
fession. A youth more ambitious of oratorical
distinction than I was I am sure has never
lived. But my friends and relatives all joined
in urging me to give up the hope of future re?
nown as a speaker, and to devote myself to
some other calling better adapted to the slen
defness of my faculties. They told me that it
was absurd ana ridiculous in one who stuttered
so abominably to think of becoming even a
tolerable pleader of causes. This mortified me
mualvbut I did desist from the struggle in
which I had so zealously enlisted. I thought
much of the difUculties of a similar kind which
Demosthenes was reported to have encountered,
and-of the successful efforts made.by him to
overcome them. I essayed to find out all the
i mysteries which belonged to our complex vocal
organ. I labored from hour to hour, and from
minute to minute, to ascertain the precise na?
ture of those particular impediments to a clear
and easy articulation under which I was suffer?
ing. I . pondered this subject by day, and it
was with!me the prompter of many a painful
and of many a pleasing dream. At length tbe
light broke in upon me. I found that I had
never before learned to talk; that I bad been
auSered all my life to jabber confused and un
telligible sounds. I learned at. last that to
speak, in the true sense of the word, w? to ar?
ticulate distinct, vocables; that the order of my
temperament was such, as well as my ambition,
to communicate ideas to the mind of others;
that I had heretofore unduly hurried my sylla
bto Ubgii jgkch other, or rather, tried to do so,
so-thavthe-vocaT* ab u^dV became Inextricably
intermingled and hopelessly indistinct, and
that every fresh effort had involved me in
greater and greater embarrassments. I came
at last to-ftberconclueicn that, the first step I
had to take in; order to. acquire the complete
control p^rnV voice was to put my own feelings
under the strictest discipline, to habituate my?
self to sober thought, and to learn the indis?
pensable art of keeping the fervent sensibilities
with which I was endowed under thorough
command; 'and after X' had done these things
in an effectual manner it would then be indis?
pensable that I should strive to enunciate each
syllable that I bad to utter clearly and emphat?
ically before attempting to emit a succeeding^
one, ana so on unt? the whole sentence, whether
long or short, should have passed from my lips.
By pursuing this coarse rigidly for a consider?
able period of time, I hoped that at last I
might accomplish the great object that L was
seeking to attain,, and that I" should become
able to speak fluently and without pain, either
to myself or to others. I practiced constantly
upon these ideas, and if I now speak with ease,
as you seem to think, I am indebted for-my
power in this respect to the labors which I
have just described. This is so certainly tbe
caao that I assure yon wer?: I even now to at?
tempt to-express-myself in tbe rapid manner
which has become so common of late among
young men of fiery temperament and of on
chastened moral organism, I should inevitably
stutter just as.disgustingly as I did forty years
ago."'
After this, interesting recital had closed, I
ventured to refer to the great oratorical con?
test between himself and Mr. Webster, in the
national Senate, now nearly half a century
ago. and asked him .what he thought of Mr.
Webster's powers as . a speaker. He at ouce
answered that he supposed him, upon the
whole, to be the most consummate orator of
cither ancient or modern times; that his abili?
ty as a reasoner, .he was confident, had .never
been exceeded; that his imagination was as
fertile and vigorous as that of Milton or Ho?
mer; that his. humor was both exquisite and
abundant; that his knowledge was unlimited;
that he hod the most happy command of his
temper at all times, and that on certain great
occasions he had excelled all the speakers that
had ever lived, not excepting either Domos
thenes or Cicero. I then esked him what he
thought of Webster's manner. He replied that
it was always grand and impressive, that he
had never heard him utter a word in a careless
er vulgar style; that he seemed never to forget
his own dignity, or to be unmindful of the
character and feelings of others, and that, when
thoroughly excited, the sublime grandeur of
his thoughts and language derived great addi?
tional potency from his noble and soul-moving
enunciation, andQiis few but impressive ges?
tures. I then said to him: ''But Gen. Hayne,
every one in the South admired your speeches
on the occasion to which you have been refer?
ring more than they did those of Mr. Webster,
ana it is said that Gen. Jackson was' so much
delighted with the first of your speeches in the
Senate that he had it printed on satin for dis?
tribution among Iii-? friends at a distance. Was
this so?". To which he replied: ,"I believe this 1
to have been true; the people of the South
feneially approved of my speech, because they
elieved that I had been defending in it their
own loctil interests and honor. Gen. Jackson
admired it because he thought that I had suc?
cessfully vindicated the Democratic cause, to
the support of which his own life had been de?
voted. But you know that in a few months
thereafter, when our nullification experiment
had' developed its gigantic proportions, and af?
ter the memorable contest had occurred in the
Senate between Mr. Calhoun and my ancient
antagonist, Mr. Webster, Gen. Jackson became
so great an admirer of the Senator from Massa?
chusetts that he thought, seriously of making
him Chisf Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States upon the decease of the venera?
ble Mauhall. ?-'Be assured,sir/'-he continued,
"I never for one momeut have thought of com?
paring that speech of mine, made in direct as
sailment of Mr. Webster and the old Federal
party of old, and to the defence of whieh I had
thought proper to challenge him, to his great
and unequalled speech in reply thereto; though
it is certain that for a day or two it seemed by
many that I had come off victor in the contest."
A Mystery in Maryland.
~ Late cne afternoon in the summer of 1867,
while an eastern bound train of the Cumber?
land and Pennsylvania Railroad was passing at
Lonaconing Station, Md., one of the passengers
Coming i.board was a- thickly-veiled, handsome?
ly dressed lady, who, with an< infant in her
arms, stopped abruptly, just after entering a
car^a?f'Enough suddenly remembering sonie^
thiny-Jefc; behind, and- hastily requested the
nearest inatron to hold the child while she re?
turned to the platform for a moment. The re?
quest wai made so quickly that the person to
whom it was addressed had no time for nega?
tive consideration, and, catching some hurried
remark > bout a handkerchief dropped, took the
babe to her arms while its owner darted sup
posably to recover her missing property. Al?
most simultaneously with the incident the lo?
comotive of the belated train gave a sharp
whistle and 'off started the cars with a swift
jerk,'peremptorily separating the two adult
parties to the infantile transfer. The lady thus
summarily left in charge of the human mite
was Mn. Goodrich, of Ocean, Cumberland
county, on her way home from a friendly visit,
and' before she could bring her bewildered
senses down to a consecutive comprehension of
her embarrassing predicament the train was too
far from Lonaconing for any practicable at?
tempt to.restore the veiled lady's treasure. She
informed the conductor of her dilemma, and at
each succeeding station expected a telegram
from the bereaved parent; but, as the couduc
tor professed himself unable to do anything in
the matter, and no teleg .-ams came, the kind
matron finally decided to take the baby home
with her, and thence institute the proper
measures for its restoration. But not in her
home, any more than while on the cars, was
. Mrs. Goodrich able to discover what had become
of the veiled stranger. Inquiries at Lonacon?
ing, and all along the railroad-cither way,
brought uo tidings nor trace of the mysterious
momentary passenger, and at last the humane
family in Ocean adopted the juvenile imposi?
tion as a foster-relative, and rejoiced in the ac
Siisitioo. Nearly six years have elapsed since
en: in that time several supplies of hand?
some clothing and monied enclosures have
come anonymously and by secret agencies to
the Goodrich home for the child; but, until a
very recent event,"not a hint has been gained
of the little one's origin and true name. Some
days ago the family had their first revelation
on the la iter subject from a well known and
wealthy citizen of Lonaconing, who, to their
mingled amazement and grief, claims the waif
of the railroad train as his grandchild, and de?
mands custody of the same. In their .attach?
ment to tae youthful,charge, now a very pretty,
interesting member of the nousehold, the Good
riches refuse to acknowledge the claims of the
old gentleman?whose name is given by the
Cumberls nd News as Rittenour?until he has
accounted circumstantially for the incident of
the cars ia 1867, and given such proof of the
child's birth and parental relationship as shall
substantiate his own demand. This, it is un?
derstood, be declines doing; or, at any rate, he
has chosen to enforce his alleged right in the
-matter by process of law. The suit, to be tried
soon in Cumberland, is credited by rumor with
the possibilities of a complicated and romantic
revelation of family history, involving a court?
ship not attended by parental approval, a clan-'
destine marriage, a young wife and mother
reaping the bitter fruits of filial disobedience,
an infant consigned to the hands of strangers
rather.than to be left within reach of its Own
lather, and a final return of a heart-broken
widow to her old home, with tears of contrition
for the past, and confession of her child's long
exile. All this may be shown, or it may not.
At any rate, the known facts, as recited above,
assure a story of domestic mysteries for which
those who are aware of the coming trial will
look with much interest and it can scarcely be
doubted that some notably drama scenes in so?
cial life must have prefaced the strange episode
of the car?. ? ??
Cold F . ;et.?Much discomfort and no small
amount of sickness are attributed to habitual
coldness of the feet. There are few hygienic
precepts more important than the first clause
ofthat which Bays, "Keep the feet warm and
the head cool." The large supply of blood?
vessels to ;he brain, and the remote position of
the feet from, the centre of circulation, show
why the head is so liable to be oppressed with
accumulated blood, and the feet bo chilled by
its deprivation. Habitual coldness of the feet
means congestion of the brain and other inter?
nal organs thus unbalancing the whole circu?
lation, and injdring every organ of the body.
-To prev( nt cold feet have youf shoes or boots
of thick, firm leather, water-proof, and be sure
that they are not tight. A very tight-fitting
boot or she e radiates the heat as fast as the cir?
culation can provide it. If the boot or shoe is
large enough to admit of a good supply of air
around the foot, the temperature will be much
more easily maintained. Tight stockings and
tight garte -s are also among causes of cold feet.
But when the feet are cold at bed time, in spite
of exercise, artificial heat should be resorted to.
No one stould retire to bed with cold feet
without some provision to warm them. A hot
brick, wrapped in several folds of cloth'will
I keep them warm nearly all night, as will bot?
tles of hot water or bags of sand. These are
better than heated flannel, because they are
more rete'nl ive of heat. But if you are obliged
to go to bed with cold feet, do not draw them
up to the b xly; extend yourself at full length,
and exercise the lower extremities by rubbing
the feet together and pressing them alternately
against the footboard, as though, you were
walking. In due time they will become warm, if
you have blood enough to do it. To cure hab?
itual cold fret, hold them for five minutes in
warm water as warm as can be borne without
discomfort, and then dip them in moderately
cool water i'or half a minute and wipe dry. It
is useful. a;so, to follow the foot-bath with a
brisk walk or active friction. This should be
repeated caoh evening at bed time.
? An experienced husband in Lafayette,
Ind., sent two switches home to his wife from
whom she was to make a selection, but before
doihg it he changed the tags, putting the twen?
ty-five dollar one on the ten dollar switch and
vice versa. After a critical examination by her?
self and lady friends, the choice fell upon that
labelled twtnty-five dollars, and she decided to
keep it, notwithstanding the husband's plain?
tive protest that he could not afford to pay out
more than ten dollars for such an article.
?? A correspondent writes that, to allay the
morbid thirst common to this season, a small
pebble stonu held in the mouth will accumulate
saliva in su'ncient quantities to fully supply all

Jefferson Davis Apologises under a Chal?
lenge.
This gentleman," when a member of the Uni?
ted States Senate, was a great sufferer from a
painful disease which deprived him for some
time of the use of his eyes and reduced him to
a condition of great debility and nervous irri?
tability. The mental vigor and spirit of the
man would not, however, permit him to abaent
himself from his place in the Senate. He was,
therefore, always in his seat during the sitting
of the Senate, to which he would be led by his
wife, but in a conditiou that excited the pro?
found, sympathy of all who observed him. In
the debates which arose in the Senate he was
always a close listener, and never failed to take
a part when the subject invited the expression
of his views and was one in which he took an
iuterest. Naturally of a quick temper, always
earnest and zealous, and not disciplined by the
long practice and experience at the bar, in
which most of the Senators had graduated, Mr.
Davis was frequently provoked in the warmth
of discussion to language of a passionate and
violent character, which his cooler adversaries
would turn to advantage, or make the occasion
for placing him in the apparent position of an
unprovoked aggress*. But when restored to
calmness and reflection, Mr. Davis quickly
discovered, and always promptly recognized his
error, and invariably volunteered atonement
thetefor or yielded it when demanded of him.
I Now, it happened on one occasion in a de?
bate in the Senate, thai Mr. Davis selected our
own distinguished Senator, J. P. Benjamin, as
the object of one of his wrathful and menac?
ing explosions, and hurled at him an offensive
and personal insult. Mr. Benjamin made no
reply in the Senate, but sent a prompt demand
for an apology or the satisfaction of a gentle?
man. Mr. Davis replied that he would deliver
the answer to this demand in the Senate. Ac?
cordingly the next day he appeased in that
august body and as soon as he could obtain the
floor, arose and addressed the President in one
of the noblest aid most touching amends ever
made by a proud and brave man. The purport
of it was that a naturally irritable temper had
not been improved by a military life and train?
ing; and inexperience in civil debate, and that
when to these deficiences was added a feeble
and depressed physical condition, he felt that
claims upon his brother Senators for some in?
dulgence and forbearance for exhibitions of
irritability and acerbity, such as he had dis?
played to the honorable Senator from Louisi?
ana, on the day before.
. But it was indeed a great solace and relief
to him when tho opportunity was afforded him
thus promptly to acknowledge his error and
weakness, and to express to the honorable Sen?
ator his sincere norrow and full withdrawal of
the offensive remarks in which he had indulged.
These words, delivered in the peculiar, earn?
est and melancholy tones of Mr. Davis, pro?
duced a thrili through the whole Senate, and
when the two Senators advanced and cordially
shook hands, the faces of all the Senators
were lighted up with an expresssion of cordial
sympathy and admiration of the high bear?
ing and magnanimity of the heroic Mississip
pian.
The Art of Making Money.?One great
cause of the poverty of the present day is the
failure of many people to appreciate small
things. They eay if they cannot have large
sums they will iaot have anything. They do
not realize how x daily addition, be it ever so
small, will make a large sum. If the young
men and women of to-day will only begin, and
begin now, to save a little from their earnings,
and invest it in some savings bank, and weekly
or monthly add to their mite, they will wear a
happy smile of content and independence when
they reach middle life. Not only the pile itself
will increase, but the ability and desire to in?
crease it will soon grow. Let the clerk and
tradesman, laborer and artisan, make now and
at once a beginning. Store np some of your
force and vigor for future contingency.
Let parents teach their children to begin
early to save. Begin at the foundation head to
control the strewn of extravagance, and then
work will be easy to choose between pov?
erty and riches. Let our youth go on in fbe
way of extravagance for fifteen years to come,
as they have for fifty years.past, and we shall
have a nation of beggars with a moneyed aris?
tocracy. , Let a generation of such as save in
small sums 'be reared, and we shall be free
from want. Do not be ambitious for extrava?
gant fortunes, bat seek that which it is the du?
ty of every man to obtain?independence and
a comfortable home. Wealth in sufficient
abundance is within the reach of all. It can
be had by only one process?saving.
Not Ready to Die.?The following is no
fabrication of an irreverent secular journal,
but from the orthodox Memphis Pretbyterian :
"Traveling in his buggy alone, not long ago,
in going to one of his appointments, one of our
good brethren in the Presbytery of Memphis
overtook a 'foot pad/ with his carpet-bag in
his hand. With the politeness for which he is
noted, he asked the pedestrian (an entire-stran?
ger) if he would not take a seat in the buggy
until, at least,, they had crossed the mud and
mire. The invitation was readily accepted,
and the conversation for a time was free and
easy, about thing} ordinary and general. Pres?
ently, however, the good brother, with a view
to make the conversation profitable, asked the
stranger 'if he was ready to die.' Not knowing
the character of the person who had invited
?him to a seat witHh him, and misapprehending
his meaning and suspecting foul play, he wait?
ed not to reply, but, sprang from the buggy
immediately and run for Tile through slush
and water. The clerical brother, wishing to
assure the stranger that he meant no harm,
called to him at the top of his voice to stopI
Bat this only hastened his speed, and, like a
scared hare, he ran until beyond hearing and
sight. In his "hiisty flight he left his carpet
sack, which our brother uow has in his posses?
sion, being the richer for his faithfulness by
the addition of a course shirt, a pair of thread-1
bare trousers, and a little 'backer.' "
Death of a Noted Man.?George'N. San?
ders died at his residence in New York recent-,
ly, of heart disease, in the 62nd year of his
age. Mr. Sanders was born in Lexington, Ky.,
February 21,1812. His grandfather, Colonel
George Nicholas, 'for whom he was named, is
known as the proposer of the Kentucky resolu?
tions and the adoption by Virginia of the
Federal Constitution against the opposition of
Patrick Henry. His father, Lewis Sanders,
was a man of much repute in the West. Mr.
Sanders's own entrance to political life was at
the organization of the first mass-meeting in
favor of the annexation of Texas, He was
Consul at London under Pierce, and Navy
Agent at New York under Buchanan. When
Douglas was a Presidential candidate Mr. San?
ders was his strong; adherent and friend. His
sympathies and efibrts were for the South all
through the war, and near its close he, with
Horace Greeley, attempted to bring about
those peace negoti itions at Niagara which Mr.
Lincoln avoided. Since that time Mr. Sanders
has been out of active political life. He was
widely known, and gained by his generous dis?
position and social character many personal
friends among his most direct political oppo?
nents. _
? Long Branch correspondent says that, at
one of the principal hotels is a lady so careful
of her complexion, which is said to bo remark
ablo in many respects, that she never leaves
her room during the day, and has all her meals
brought to her. She remains in a darkened
room all day long, .gloomy and de3olate, fearing
that the sun, shining through, may freckle her
face or turn it to a healthy brown. Every night
she comes out radiantly beautiful, the gas-ligbi
giving a soft glow to her fair cheek. She has
spent time at her toilette, and she moves grand?
ly about among the crowds in the corridors, in
the parlors, and on the piazza for half an hour,
and then she goes to her room and stays there
for another twenty-tour hours. t
Hie Best Hope of the Intemperate.
Years ago a distinguished advocate of tem?
perance, who had spent many years in the
work, and whose long experience gave great
. weight to his opinion, publicly declared that
"he had never known a confirmed drunkard to
be entirely reclaimed except by the grace of j
God." Temporary amendment was not unusual,
but final and complete emancipation from this
eyil was only secured when there was an evi?
dent change of heart as well as of outwdrd
conduct. Extended observation in many places
and for long periods of time by candid wit?
nesses, confirms this view. Habits are tyrani
cal. Alcoholic disease requires medical treat?
ment. But the moral and religious difficulties
of intemperance demand a sovereign cure
which shall go down to the roots of the dread?
ful thing. Appetite, depraved by excess and
restrained for a time often overpowers resolu?
tions, vows, and pledges, like a stream that has
been damned up and then swelled by a great
rain until it overflows its banks and breaks
down the barriers. Reformed inebriates know
what it is to fight this fiend which rages within
at the very sight or smell of liquor with de?
moniac fury. It is just here that ordinary re?
straints give way, moral sentiment is power?
less, and'only the preserving grace .of God in
the heart is mightier than the foe.
As a rule, we believe that no men are more
thoroughly'convinced of their own inability to
deliver and to keep themselves in the evil day
than the hapless victims of intemperance who
are trying to reform. They need to have this |
truth kept before them, with kindly encourage?
ments to seek help from Him who is "mighty
to save And almighty to redeem" them. We
have known some very striking cases of recov?
ery whose thoroughness and permanence can
be attributed only to the power of religious prin?
ciple, after all other attempts at a reformation
failed. Indeed, this article has been prepared
in the light of just such an example, with the
hope that it may meet the eyes of some unfor?
tunate drunkard, and the Christian friends who
are trying to help a helpless one out of the ruin
into which he lias been plunged. Inebriate
asylums are doing a wonderful work by the
various methods of treating their patients. But
medicine, regimen, seclusion from the outer
world for a time, mental diversion, and all
other resources of professional experience, are
comparatively inefficient without those moral
and religious safeguards which experience has
proved to be essential to a perfect cure. ?

a slender youth, and he did it "You're the

me a chaw."
? "I hope, Mrs. Giles," said a lady who was
canvassing for a choir at the village church,
"you will persuade your husband to join us. I
am told he has a sonorous voice." "A snorous
voice, marm?" said Mrs. Giles. "Ah, you
should hear it comin' out of his nose when he's

and stuck the candle in what he thought was a

sand, and?as it was nothing else but sand,
nothing happened.
