also, to let you know that Vegetiue is the best
Iliedicine I ever saw for (hillis, Shakes, Fever

1873, which left, hitn with hip-Joint, disease.
My son sufferedt a great, dual of pain, all or the

ing but cry. The doctors did not help him a
irtlcle, he could not lift his foot. froin the
floor, he could not Move without, crutches. I
read your advertlsemlent, in the Louisville
Courier-Journal, that, VegetInc was a great
Blood Puritler and Blood Food. I trie< one
bottle which was a great beneit. Hfa kept on
with the medicine. gradually gaining. lie has
taken eighteen bottles In all, and he is
complete iy restored to health, walks wIt:hout

I cheerfully recommend Vegetlne for such
complaints. I think it is the greatest in idlline

INCIDENT S IN THE JrLI'1"E lEON.
AL XANDL"'ll If, S TL'PILN'S.
His First Appearance In Court- -Merit
Recognizod Under P'cullar Ciro.im
stances--Ilow Ho Came Near Being
President in the Campaingn of 1800.
From the Ne York Sl.r.
The ex-Vice-President of the
Confederate States has been so often
mentioned in the various roninis
cences, that some account of him,
with additional ance:dotes, may not
be out of place. His ancestors were
English, and his grandfather, a gen
tleman by birth, adhered to the
fortunes of the Chevalier Edward
(called the Pretender), and was
thorofore, opposed to the Iouso of
Hanover, of which family George
III. cauto. This ancestor came to
America during the Indian and
French wars, and served under
General Braddock, near Fort Du
quesue. lie served, still later, under
Colonel (afterward President) Wash
ington. This first Stephens resided
in Pennsylvania during the war of
independence, and was the friend of
Stephen Hopkins, the Quaker signer
of the Declaration of Independence.
In 1795 the Stephens family set
tied on Kettle Crook, in Georgia,
and removed to the prescnt home -
stead in 1.805. The father of Alex
ander H1. Stephens dio. on the 7th
of May, 1826. while the latter was in
his teens. His mother, Margaret
Grier, was a cousin 'to Justice Grier,
of the United States Supremo Court,
and sister to the once f:mod author
of the Grier 8outhiern A lmanact.
When Alexander H. Stephens
began the practice of law, there was
a shoe factory in the pleasant vil
lage of Crawfordville, his present
home, and the negro workmen par
took of their coffee and bread and
bacon, in the sun at the front door.
One day as Stephens walked past
very rapidly, as was his wont,. one of
them suspended his tin cup near his
lips, and said loud enough for the
young n:an to hear, "Who is that
little fellow that walks by hero so
fast of mornings ?" A second re
plied, "Why, man, tvit's a lawyer."
The third thought ho saw
the point of a fine j.>ke, and burst
into the loudest negro "yah I yah 1
yah !" with, "A lawyer ! A lawyer,
you say! Now dat's too good-yah,
yah, yah 1"
The next week was term time, and
that same laughing negro found
himself in peril of the whipping p:st
for stealing loather. It was young
Stephens who was appoin ted by the
court to defend him, and, although
the proof was clear, Stephens
quashed the indictment on a legal
flaw. The black now said with it
bow of humble reverence : "Sah,
when I didn't know you, I thought
you was the littloat man I ever seed;
but now I knows you, you looks
big as a pine tree." That poor
negro, and IL poorer' white woman,
whose child was saved by Stephens
by means of the'writ of habeas cor
pus from.the oppressions of ab cruel
family to whom she had bound out,
were tihe first on earth to see his
re.al gro.itness.
M~r. Stephens waIs once a candi,
date for the ministry of the Presby
terian echurch, and still professes to
be a member of that commIunioni.
This fact may seem somewhat
L.range to Northern people whio
possess copies of his ch-llenges to
Governor Herschel V. Joh)nson and
Senator B3enj. H. Hill to mortal
combat, and who know of a boo0k
that sayeth :"N o murderer hath
eternal life abiding in him." Those
eminent grentloemn delined to be0
shot at, p)osibly oin the ground
that Stephens is aL lath wvho can
scarcely make a shadow without an
over coat, an d that if ho turned side..
ways hie wvould be invisible.
When he wvas a boy, starting to
Athens, Ga, to be examined for
the freshman class, he was too poor
to ride in the stage, and wvalked
the fifty-odd miles, carrying his
change of clothing. on his back5
swung to a stick. A faimily then
owned a fine plantation and count4'y
house in Greene county1 and he
stopped at the gate hot and dusty
with his walk, to ask for a drink of
water. The kind lady gave him a
glass to drink from, and instead of
treating him as a tramp, asked him
in to stay all night, thus maiking
him her guest,
A little baby that he took up in
his arms. became very fond of him.
The next cday a fazm wagon helped
him, aome distac on hi way, and
a luncheon of cold chicken and broad
and butter was his only repast until
ho arrived at the college. Many
years after tho poor boy h' d won
the first honors of his university,
had boon in the Logislature, had
been the means of building the
groatest railroad in the South, and
had become at last the leader of the
Whig party in Congress and owner
of a thousand acres of land. It was
then that a poor widow, Mrs.
Parkes, cane into his library at
Iiberty 1Hall, Imding a pretty little
girl by t.he bn1.1i, and told him that
by rcason of t to lax habit of her
hut1Sban1d in nov(e,r taking receipts,
her whole estate, worth nearly a
quarter of a million of dollars, had
been seized by )retolded claimants.
She had no money, but offered him
one-half of the property to save it
for her. lIe took the case, and, by
great labor and research, won it for
her. She came to thank and pay
him, and lie said : "Do you remuen
ber a poor lad whom you kept all
night, when on his way to school ?"
She did not at first, but soon said:
"Oh, yes, I do ; for he was so fond
of the bab,. This i: she with tme.
Do you know her ?" "Yes," he
said ; "I am the poor boy, and now
I pay my bill. You do not owe me
anything, for I still owe you my
love."'
When little Mary Parke's married
h 'r part of the property was
$80,000. Each of her two sisters
also had as much. Mr. Stephens'
p:atrimolny had been $444. On this
lie graduated, and began the study
of law on the 26th of May, 1834.
Ie refused an offer of $1,500 a
year with a partner, but lived on
six dollars a month, blacked his
own boots, groomed his own horse
(atfter he had one), and made his
own pies, and, also, imido $100 the
fest year.
Mr. Stephens tolls, with great
glee, a story of his 1irst going to
court. It was indisponsablo that a
lawyer should enter a town horse
ick, at least, and le owned no
horse. His uncle-Aaron W. Grier
-lived half way on the road to the
town of Washington, but considera
bly off the road. Ho walked there,
carrying his saddle-bags and bor,
rowed a horse. He rode, however,
a less distance than ho had walkod
to procure tho horse. To make his
entrance the more impressive he
dismounted in a pine thicket, out.,
side of town, and after washing his
face in a stream, aid dusting his
shoes, he pult on a clean pair of
whito cotton pantaloons, starched
t) resemble the white linen worn by
Suthorn gentlemen. Thus, fresh
and clean, he mado his entry. He
dacs not say that the court was
much impressed by his display,
but he does say that in leaving
town he undressed in the same
thicket and put on his soiled
clothes for the weary starlight walk
home after ho should return the
hot oi.
The great statesman has had to
bear the consequences through his
whole life of a slight form and
boyish look, but these deficiences
have had mostly only an amusing
and sometimes an agreeable effect.
In the earlier part of his career a
great commercial convention of
nmany States was hold at Charleston,
S. (., and Mr. Stephens having been
asked to make the great speech of
the occasion, consenited to do so'
His fame had already extended
beyond the country in which lie
lhved, and expectation was greatly
excited at his arrival. To avoid the
crowds at the hotels he had asked
two merchants, who were of the
p trty, to engzage him r'ooms at the
hotol whore they were to st.op, and
in due time lie arrived v it ithem.
Theli lady who kept the house, ini
great excitement, was engaged in
looking out for her guest, who was
of as mruchi conseguence as a Presi
(lent, but she was not in the least
aware that he had come. In t.ld
meantime the tired statestaan had
thrown himself on a lounge for the
purlpose of replose, and his twvo
friends stood near him.' The lady
bustled in, and seeing, as she supy
posed4 a country lad who come in to
see thme sights and hear Stephens,
actually occupying the .best place,
and his shioes also on the sofa, she
said, with great kindness bub some
firmness, "My son, you should let
tihe gentlemen have the best. place,
but put your foot on' the floor, for
we ares trying to keep thin,gs nice
for the great Mrs Stepyhens.'
When onie of thu. laughimdg iner
chants pointed to 'Te smiling boy,
with his wonderful eyes1 and said1
"This is the Hon. Alexander H.
Stephens, p>ada'n," aind he arose and
gave her hus hand, t'b~e expression of
