A HISTORIC MYSTERY.
The National; Hotel :Pnisoiling Twenty
Years Ago.
Washington Correspondence Chicago Times.
Among the more prominent of the Na?
tional's Late arrivals are Senator Ben.
Hill and wife, of Georgia. They occu?
py the suit of rooms known as the presi?
dential parlors. If the walls had tongues
they might discourse of people prominent
in the past, and, perchance, tell tales of
private life never suspicioned. But the
tall mantel looks blank under its modern
ornament, the brass mountings of the
fender reflect new faces, the heavy cur?
tains shut in the secrets never voiced,
and in the room sits a little, dark-eyed,
prim woman, and a blue-eyed man "from
away down South in Georgia," a man
mild as May, velvety, and unassuming
as a field dandelion. These rooms where
Senator Hill now lives, on that fatal
fourth of March, which witnessed Buch?
anan's inauguration, were occupied by
the new President. Twelve hundred
guests were crowded in the house. In
the evening nearly all were seized by
similar symptoms of poisoning, and
thirty or more died. The dead bodies
lay In rows in the parlors, the sick and
dying were moaning in the halls; a
gioom hung over the city, and extended
to distant homes, from whence had come
guests to witness the inauguration. The
house had just previous to this been en?
tirely refurnished. It was the grand
hotel of the capital, and built in a style
of magnificence rare in those times. The
hotel poisoning is remembered with
horror by old people, but many of the
younger ones have never heard of it.
The affair was investigated and the house
examined. No positive clue has ever
been found. Some said defective drain?
age, some poisoned rats in the wells,
some that the sugar was poisoned to ruin
the business of the hotel. It is generally,
I think, believed now that the poison was
mineral poison, and was in the sugar?
for the reason that persons not stopping
at the house, who took fancy drinks at
the bar, were also seized by cramps.
Doubtless the new President's death was
meditated, but Mr. Buchanan never
touched sugar, nor ate it in anything, so
that he almost alone escaped the peril.
Some of those beside his Excellency, who
escaped, have been interrogated, and all
those whose address could be found after
the lapse of years, replied that they did
not partake of sugar, even in coffee.
The house was closed, the splendid fur?
niture was sold at auction. For years the
hotel was uninhabited. People looked
at the barred windows something as vis?
itors now pause befoie Ford's theatre,
where President Lincoln was assassin?
ated. Strangers stood in front of it and
related to each other sad incidents of the
inexplicable death which had overtaken
thirty persons in a night. Twenty years
ago, a gentleman from New Hampshire,
visiting in Washington, asked to go
through the house. People had been
afraid to enter the walls alter the panic.
The gentlemen, upon examination, ira
. mediately leased the building, threw open
the windows, had the house cleansed, one
hundred and fifty loads of dirt taken from
the cellar, put one hundred thousand
dollars worth of furniture in the hotel,
and was called crazy by his friends. In 1
December every corner was filled by j
guests, and the qnaint, low rooms, where
had danced the belles of a quarter of a
century before, were again filled with life
and beauty.
Why Jacob Wept after Kissing Rachel.
The following are the "opinions of the
English press" upon the subject of the
text which tells us that Jacob kissed Ka?
chel, and lifted up his voice and wept:
If Rachel was a pretty girl, and'kept 1
her face clean, we can't see what Jacob
had to.cry about.?Daily Telegraph. . \
How do you know but that she slapped
his face for him ??Ladies' Treasury.
Weeping is often produced by excessive
happiness; it might have been so in Ja?
cob's case.?Nordwick's Science Gossip.
The cause of Jacob's weeping was the
refusal of Rachel to allow him to kiss her
again.?Noncomformist.
It is our opinion Jacob wept because
he had not kissed Rachel before, and he
wept for the time lost.?City Press.
The fellow wept because the girl did
not kiss him.?Pall Mall Gazette.
Jacob wept because Rachel told him to
"do it twice more," and he was afraid.?
Methodist Recorder.
Jacob cried because Rachel threatened
to tell her mamma.?Sunday Gazette.
He wept because there was only one
Rachel to kiss.?Clerkemoell News.
He wept for joy because it tasted so
good.?Jewish Chronicle.
We reckon Jacob cried because Rachel
had been eating onions.?British Stand?
ard.
Our opinion is that Jacob wept because
he found- after all "it was not what i% was
cracked up to be."?New Haland Exam?
iner.
A mistake, not his eyes but his mouth
watered.?Ladies' Chronicle.
He thought it was a fast color, but
wept because the paint came off.?Fine
Art Gazette.
He remembered he was her uncle, and
recollected what the prayer book says.?
Church Journal.
He was a fool, and did not know what
was good for himself.? Englishwoman's
Advertiser.
He knew there was a time to weep?it
had come, and he dared not put it off.?
Methodist News.
He thought she might have a big
brother.?Sporting Chronicle.
Because there was no time for another.
?Express.
When he lifted up his voice he found
it was heavy, and he could not get it so
high as he expected.?Musical Notes.
He tried to impose on her feelings, be?
cause he wanted her to lend him five
shillings.?Baptist Guide.
How to get Rich.?A practical farmer
being asked what the farmers most need?
ed to increase the value of their lands,
crops and herds, replied: "They want
just what the merchants, the manufactur?
ers and the mechanics want, just what
the railroad men, the lumber men, and
the mining men want, they want labor,
capital and brains. There is not a farmer
in the State but will stand an application
of this trio?work, money and tnought."
We asked him again, what simple and
easy methods he would recommend to
the farmers from which they could get
the quickest returns, and he replied:
"First, I would recommend that every
cow in the State be crossed by a thorough?
bred bull. I calculate that would add
$1,500,000 to the wealth of the State in
two years, and that would double the
cattle of the State in four years. Second,
I would cross every breeding ewe in the
State with a thoroughbred ram of ap?
proved pedigree, and I calculate that
would add one pound of wool to every
shearing in two years, besides improving
the flocks in many respects. You can
. calculate the gain yourself. Third, I
would have every farmer select his seeds
of every grain, especially of wheat and
corn?that is to pick out the best and
- discard the inferior. The profit would
be immense, for there is no telling how
much can be gained by the selection of
seeds."
Now here are three things within the
? reach of almost every farmer. They re?
quire a little money, some work and a
good deal of nerve and will power. Was
the old man right? Let every farmer
adopt these precceptsand then contradict
them?if he can.
? What next? Before the war the
fashionable styles in ladies' dresses re?
minded us of an umbrella hoisted. Now
they remind us of an umbrella let down
and buttoned.
? The heathen are organizing foreign
missions for the conversion of Christians.
The Hindus of the sacred City of Benares
have founded a society for the propaga?
tion of Brahminism among the Christians
of Australia. An eminent Brahmin of
the name of Suradschi, a man of great
authority, has recently been visiting some
of the English colonies, and while trav?
eling in Australia, was appalled and
rrieved at the fearful prevalence of
irunkenness among the Christians. On
returning to India he called together a
number of thoughtful Brahmins, to whom
he communicated bis glowing zeal to do
something for the salvation of their de?
graded fellow-men and fellow-subjects in
Australia. The only perfect remedy, he
considered, would be the conversion of
these Christians to a better and purer
faith. A large sum was collected for the
pious and benevolent enterprise, and
some of the Brahmins declared their wil?
lingness to devote themselves to the work,
and to spend and be speut in this humane
and holy cause. Suradschi is now en?
gaged in translating fitting passages from
the Vedas into the English tongue for the
use of the missionaries.
? The Carolina Spartan urges that
both the rogue and roguery should be
made odious, and that stealing should be
proportionately punished. It urges the
Legislature to enact some law that will
malce thieves dread the consequence of
crimes, which they now do not do. It
points out that stealing is a degraded
crime which should be visited by a de?
grading punishmsnt, and evidently leans
strongly to the whipping post.

WATCHES! JEWELRY!
ROMAINE GOLD, so extensively worn in Paris, was first discovered in 1870, by the celebrated
French chemist, M?ns. D. BeLainge, who manufacture! it into jewelry, and for live years
sold it to the leading jewelers of Paris lor Solid Gold. In 1875, when his secret became known,
ten of the manufacturing jewelers established a stock company, with a capital of $1(1,000,000 for the
purpose of manufacturing ROMAINE GOLD JEWELY AND WATCHES. With this immense
capital, and the aid of improved machinery they are enabled to produce alt the latest patterns of
jewelry at less than one-tenth the cost of .Solid (iold, and of a quality and color which makes it
impossible even for experts to detect it from the genuine.
We have secured the exclusive agency of the United States and Canada, f-r the sale
of all goods manufactured from this metal, and in order to introduce them in the most speedy
manner, have put up assorted sample lots as given below, which we will sell at one-tenth the

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable altcratives--Stillingia,Man
drakc,Yellow Dock?with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alterative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and conniptions which
develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con?
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other alterative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

To All Whom It may Concern:
Iwould urge upon those who have neg?
lected to settle with me heretofore that
they should do so now. The Notes and Ac?
counts are now in my hands for collection,
and 1 am authorized to pay the highest
prices for all kinds of produce in settlement
thereof. You have certainly delayed pay?
ing me long enough, and caused enough
trouble already; and now, while you still
have the privilege of making a fair settle?
ment with me, come and do so, and you
will avoid the trouble that will certainly
result from any other course. The time is
very short in which 1 can oiler you any in?
