This instrument is especially designed for the per-
fect application of
DR. saca's CATARRH REMEDY. J .
It is the only form of instrument yct invented
with which fluid medicine can be carried high up
and perfectly applied to nu parts ot’_tllc utlected nasal
usages, and the chambers or cavities COlllllllllllL’ilt-
u" therewith, ill which sores and ulcers frequently
exist, and from which the comrrhul discharge gelle-
rnlly proceeds. The want of success on trcutlug
Catarrh heretofore has arisen largely from thcumpoa-
cibility of applying remedies to these cavities and
chambers by any of the ordlpary methods. ‘ This
obstacle in the way of effecting cures ls enhrcly
overcome by the invention of the Douche. In usm
Ibis instrument. the Fluid is carried by its own weigh .
(no snuitlng, forcing or pumping being required,) up one
nostril ill a full gently flowing stream to the highest
portion of the nasal passages, passes into and 'lIlOf-
pughlyclcunses all the tubes and chambers connected
herewith, and flows out of the opposite nostril. Its use

I left the honest Africa‘u'and' proceeded
slowly toward the tavern. ’ When I'entered
Jenkins was ‘not there, and lint day”: on
a bench to wait for him. At any other time
I should have felt-on interest in watching
the various persons present,andliatening to
their rough cbuversaliou. bell was too full
of my own thoughts itrobserve what was
passing around: me. At length Jenkins
came. With a mute gesture lie signified his
wish that I should follow him. and l arose
and left’the house in'his company. , ,
"I have seen Watson, the" fellow that I
spoke of," said he, “he-has'becn sly-for
some time, and when I told him wha'i'you'
had said, he was anxious enough to get of.
We had got a bone in readiness for~ any
emergency, and I let Tom havehim now,
and he has started for the west within the
last hour. He said he should not stop short
of Illinois. So he’s disposed of.‘ But come,
let’s be moving." "‘
"What do you intend to do 2” I inquired,
as we walkedrtoward fbe'Bridg‘e.
“I’ll look out for myself, I reckon.” was
the reply, “here this‘wgy, we do'n’t want to
cross the'Bridge." ‘ ' “I ' ’
We turned into the-ulreet-lhat went north-
ward, and approached the old house.
“Here’s where ive caught the chap," said
Jenkins, “we. go "in her-eh” and V in a few
moments we entered the apartment where
he and Watson had arrangcd'lheir plan, and
which I h'uve previously described.
“Sit down," said Jenkins, after he had
lighted a candle, and-pointing to a chair, “I’ll
be back shortly,” and be left the room, by
an inner door that apparently opened upon
a stair-case.
I listened to his footsteps as he ascended
to the second story. Then for a time all
was silent. At length I heard him return-
ing, and a sound as if some one accompa-
nied him. There was the mailing of a dress
on the stairs. I started, my heart lhrobbed
violently, and with difficulty I mastered my
emotion, as he re-entered the room, leading
a. female form by his side. It was Ellen,
but she was sadly changed. Herfacc was
swollen as if with weeping. But there was
a compression of her lips, and a slight shade
upon " her brow that spoke of determined
resolution. ‘
“Remember your promise, bliss,” said her
conductor, roughly ; “if your hands are left
free,.und the bandage removed from your
month, you are not to scream. or call for as-
sistance.” _
“1. will keep it,” she murmured in so
mouruful'a tone that the blood ' .thrilled
through my whole frame, and my heart
burned to destroy on the spot him who had
wrought so cruel a change. <.
“New, Mark.” said be, turning; to me,
“this is the girl; I know that I can take
care 0fmyselfi-but-what to do with-her, I.
can'ttcll. ' She's a :fierce’lhtl‘e vixen, and
I’m half afraid of her myself.” _ . .
While he - spoke, Ellen unklintoa chair
by the table-andbowed her face upon her
hands. . _Z
“I didn’t burdly'knowwhat I'mcaut lodo
myself, when I fibrougktti-her- here,” con-
tinued Jenkins, “and since she’s been here,
I’ve hardly spoken to hex-twice. I She’s been

for I had thought of taking“ her 10in

He gwt‘s’interrupled'by a‘fcnrml shriek,
from Ellen, who sprang from her seat dud.
clinging to‘ his arm-looked up into his face
imploriu‘gly explaining: » V _ .
“Dead I did you say it Who, when, Harry
dead it, 0h ! his .100 much I” and she fell,
half swooning, at his feet. _
“Furies! girl, stop your screaming,” said
he. angrily. “Here, Mark. hold her, while I
get some water,” and he left" the room
hastily.- , v ..
.“Ell'en !. dear, dear Ellen,” said I. raising
her in my arms, “Harry is not dead ; look
in my face," and I lifted the tarpaulin from
my forehead. ,
She looked up wildly for a moment. .
“It is his voice,” said she;- then as her
eyes met mine she flung her arms frauticly
about :my neck. “It is. itia indeed him.
Oh! Harry, what a terrible drenm'l have
bad I” '
“Be calm, Ellen,” said I, “remember I am
in disguise, you must not know me,” and I
replaced my hat.
As I did so, Jenkins entered with a glass
of water in his hand. '
“She has rcc‘cvercd,” said ‘I, as I placed
her again inher seat ; “you shouldn’t.lluve
mentioned the fellow at all."
Ellen again concealed her face with her
hands, while I spoke. ‘ ‘
“Devil ! I didn't think of it,” said he,“.but
lo coulinh‘eJ can’t. take her to New York
now, and-I must hide myself. I shall leave
the girliwith you. You can carry her off,
or take her back to old Harding. as you
think fif.‘ He supposes that she has eloped,
and us for me, why I will take care of my-
self." ' _ , ' ' .
While he was speakinnge had taken a
candle from the mantle-piece nudplaced it
upon the table. As he concluded. hestruck
his foot' apparently accidentally against a
chair. stumbled forward against me, and in
recovering himself knocked my but from my
head. I instantly struck the door-violently
with the stick, whichI still held in my
‘ hand.
. cumsn v1.
.The moment that the eyes of Jenkins
by the slouching hat,hc raised himsell up
with a fierce shout, exclaiming :
“D—n you ! I suspected you all the
while. Now take that for your folly.”
I saw his uplifted hand and a gleaming
me nudthe blow, one arm: clinging about
my neck, the other raised imploriugiy
toward the murderer. The weapon descend-
ed, piercing her side, and she sunk, with a
convulsive sob and shiver,into my arms,
while the blood slowly trickled from the
fatal wound. _
It was the work ofan instant, and even-as
it was taking place, the outer door of the
momwasburst open with .‘ violent-shock,
and Juke‘leaped info the apartment, ex—_
claiming : ‘ -
“Where is he, Mr. Lovell ? Lord I only
show him to me." '

hearth. - “Nay, keep ofi ! ~ Come not nears

“Keep all, I tell you,” said J cnkius strik-

fist, that the negro reeled backward and
would have fallen had. he not caught at:

“I do not'msb to escape.” continued Jen-
kins, “nay I would not if I could ; but you
mm! hear me through before you capture

meant even you no harm, Lovell} but you}

from here, I slew » wilfully another. fairer
than she, and whom I loved better than my
own life, and she has haunted me ever since.

doubly damned here and hereafter. I am

horror. “0 1 my 6— i there she is. How
pale her face is, and the long hair all wet

'yes,_beckon. beckon. But, stop 1 come not
this way; I will come to you, thus ;" and
ateppin forward he drove the knife forcibly
into his own breast, and fell heavily to the
floor.
The African sprang forward to prevent
the deed,»but it was done too quicklyfor
him to be of. any avail, and turning to me,
as he supported the head of the suicide, and
endeavored to staunch the blood, he ex-
claimed: ‘
“Mr. Lovell, what shall be done 2”
l was kneeling on the floor in speechless
anguish, sustaining the form of Ellen, whose
icy hands and broken respiration belokened
that life was fast ebbing from her, and as the
negro spake, I looked at him vacaufly for a
moment, and then murmuring 'half inaudi-
bly‘, “a. physician," resumed my now useless
attentions to the dying girl.
.“A physician i” said Jake, “yes, I'll go,
that man will never do any one harm
again," and he left the house.
, And I was there alone with the murderer
and his victim, both of them so soon to pass
from this earth and its sufferings forever.
The former lay where he had fallen, the
knife still grasped in his ucrveless hand.
The vital spark was not yet extinguished.
audat times he gasped out broken sen-
tences that showed his. mind was wander-
mg.
Of a sudden Ellen opened her eyes and
breathed my name. ,
“I am here, dear Ellen,” said I. bending
over her, “would to God that Icould die

“Oh i no, Harry, no," said she, in a low
tone, “better, farhettcr as it is. - lam happy,
now, to die in your arms and for your sake.“
“Ellen ! Ellen l” I exclaimed, ‘let us not
talk of dying; you cannot, must not die.
Apbysician will be here soon; bear up till
then. I will not survive you.”
She shook her head faintly.
“I am dying, Harry, I know it, but it ter-
rifiea me not. Yet it seems strange too; so
young,und- but a little while ago so mu of
happiness. Do you remember, Harry, when
we last walked together, it was the very
evening I was brought hither-l” she stopped,
and a shudder ran through her frame, then
in a tone that sank almost to a whisper, she
continued. “I was’very sad.you recollect.
and even then anticipated my fate, and you
tried .to persuade me otherwise. 011! Harry,
.it will be as pleasant here when I am gone
as it is now, will it not if Not for you,Harry,
-I did not mean that; but the sky will be as
bright, and the fields as green, and the birds
alt-musical when I can neither see or hear.
Well, be it 30. Remember me when I am

where the weary are at rest. There’s a
pleasant sound about those words, Hurry,
“where the weary are at rest.” Her voice
grew fainter. “Where are you, Harry, I
cannot see you, dear Harry—I am. going—
.where—the weary are at rest." _
A slight, half audible gush,and the gentle
spirit fled to the God who gave it.

' I know not how long I knelt there, before
Jake refurned,.and with him Dr. Mattocks.
I stirred not when they entered, and though
I heard their words. I did not look up or
move from my position.
“There, Doctor-{Wald the negro, “look
there."
The physician said not a word but step-
ping forward endeavored to raise the girl
from my arms.
“Away !” said I, looking at him fiercely,
“I will.nof part with her again."
“Mr; Lovell l” said he, in a kind rtone,
“have you forgotten me l”
“-You i Doctor, is it you it Oh 1 Doctor,
save her I"
He bent over the body and placed his
hand on the cold brow. and then shaking
his head mournfully turned away to the
wounded man.
“Don’t trouble yourself about me, Doctor,"
said be, struggling for utterance, “I‘m as
good as gone, but there are ten thousand
fiends around me, Doctor, drive ”um off, if
you can.”
The physician knelt by the side of the
guilty wrelch and examined the wound,
then, as be bound it up, he said :
“I will, do whatIcuu for you,b'ut you
cannot live an hour.” -

licly bruited abroad could do no good,‘
though it might do harm. Jenkins we can,

‘Do as you sc_em beat, Dr..’ said I ‘I can
give no counsel or assistance now.’
“Well, then, Jake, go up to Mr. Harding's
at once; tell him that I wish to see him
immediately, and lead him hither.’
‘I will, sir,’ said the negro, as he depart-
ed. During his absence, Irelated the whole
story to the kind-hearted physician, as well
as I was. able, and as I finished, he said—
'I‘know‘.lllat all consolation is unavailing
now, Mr. Lovell, and [will not attempt it;

I replied not, and we remained silent till
we heard the sound of footsteps at the door,
and Mr; Harding followed by Jake, entered
the room.
Ellen’s father was a man but little ad-
vanced beyond the prime of life, with a
somewhat imposing figure, and a heart - that»
quailed not before any dificnlty or adver-
sity. ,
‘Be a man now Mr. Harding,’ said the
physician, stepping between him and the
lifeless form of his child.

recorded ; and‘as be finished, .Mr. Harding,’
turned to me, and taking me by the hand,

My story is ended, and I have only. to tell
the subsequent fate of the various actors» in,

the public result of that last night’s occur-

The burden of th'gtjlisséiulls‘ ' upon 'Prcsi- ,

and weakest criticisms ever preferred
against any President; and yet as much
noise is made over them as if the authors
thereof» really believed they had discovered
somethinguupreccdcntcd and heinovififiii his

mountain of lies, never retracting but con-
tinuing to add to the score. Among other
dseudful things of which the President has
been guilty, they say be is absent from dul y.
The Tribune, speaking for if not by the pen
of Mr. Greeley, figures. up to a cent .how
much the President is-paid‘ per day, and
holds him up to public condemnation be-
cause he doesnot spend every day of the
bot summer-haiku in the city of Wash-
ington. . '
Now what is fherejusl,‘ or-fuir. or reason.
able in this carping? Do the people of the
United States wish to confine their President
to the desk'like a clerk, and dock his pay
for every day's absence! Our peopledo
not entertain suchsmnll ideas, and few con-
verts to Greeley will be made by the sort of
attacks the Tribune is indulging in. Sup-
poscPresident Grant, like other gentlemen,
passes a few weeks at the seaside or among
the hills of northern New York and New
England; who begrudges him the enjoy-
ment, the recreation thorn the protracted la-
borof-a. long winter session of Congress?
Surely not the people. He, is constantly in
telegraphic communication with the depart
ments, and if his presence is needed a click
of, the telegraph and :1.ch hours’ ride on
fast trains bring-him lolhe- capital. Where,
then, is the harm in hiayt'akiug a run tofhe
seashore and the inherent! the wood?
Gen. Grant is not the first Presulent who
has taken advantage of the recesses of Con-
green to recuperale his health and make
journeys about the country. George Wash-
ington has ever been regarded as the model
of acouscienlions public servant, but even
Ito-did not deem it inconsistent with his
duty as President to leave the seat of the
governfitent. A careful examination of the
record shows that in the first year (ten
months) of his administration '1789, he was
abscnl'six' weeks, and among other places
spent a part of- his time at Newport. Dur-
ing 1790 he was absent nearly two months,
most of the time at Menu: Vernon, and in
those days itlook ten or twelve days for a
letter to reach him, and as long for: an an-
swer to be: returned. In 1791 he left Phila-
delphia in the latter part- of March, aud‘did
notzreturn till near the middle of July, hav-
inggmade a trip through the south, going us
far as Savannah. Much of the time it was
notekuown where hewas-and many letters
failed to reach- him in consequence. Al-
though he was absent over four months dur-
ing: I701, the next year he made several
visits to Mount Vernon, being away, in all
over three months. And so it was all
his Country" making frequent visits to his
borne and remaining for weeks. at a time.
On one occasion a foreign minister had to
seek him there to present his credential-I.
On another occasion he issued an im-
portant proclamation from Mount Vernon,
and as J efi'erson was secretary of State, and
he, ice, at home, the President sent the
paper to him by express, as it would take
but six days longer to have it thus properly
verified! John,~ Adams spent much of his
timeiat his home in Quincy, although it re-
quired'cigbt days for letters to reach him
from-'- Philadelphia. One year he left in.
March and did not return till early in No-
vember. Jefferson made frequent visits to.
Monticello, and Jackson traveled in New
England, and'to his home in Tennessee.
But that! these cases the disadvantage was
in comparison for greater. than at the pres-
eut day. Traveling was then on horseback,
and the mail service wasslow and irregular.
Now we move on the lightning express, and

Long {Branch or with his friends at Ulica he

earlier Presidents, do not apply at the. was
out day. Think of the President being ab-
‘acnt from the seal of government, and no
one there, even, knew of his whereabouts
except that he was journeying in a certain
section of the countryl And yet - that was
the case when Washington made his South-
ern tour. Beyond the fact that he was at
the South, no one knew where to look for
him or where to direct letters to him for

such, excellent examples, for he is thus
much moralikely to retain his health and

man will regret'thcfew days or weeks of

Not long since,a Greeley politician in
North Carolina, was trying to pursuudc a
company of ncgrocs to go and hear Mr.
Doolittle. He told them they were slaves
to prejudices. just as formerly they were
slaves to their masters. One of the negrocs
answeried, “We doesn’t know dal, sub. but
we does know dut we can’t be lied up and
whipped any more; daf our wives and chil-
dren can’t be sold away from us. and (lat
we has;the money we cams; and (lat we
knows ‘dat the 'publican pally done git all
dut.und we'se goin’ to vote de 'publicau
ticket”. The Southern politician,‘howcvcr,
was no; to be bluli'ed in- this manner; but
immediately asked the colored voter what
better Republican he could find in the whole
country than Mr. Greeley, who had been
such a friend to the slave, and such an. ad-
vocate of freedom. But the black man firm-
lv heldzhis ground. His only answer was,

Alexandrina-d Cairo. f
Alexander and Napoleon made predic-
tions concerning the town of Alexandria.
The second said it was to be; place of the
highest political and commercial import-
open; the first that it was to be, the capitol
of the world. The'predicfionu, remaining
so far unverified, imply that these warrior.

the foundation of their future gunmen.

He was-well filled to deal with this pmplo.
During his rule the country reached the
height of its prosperity. lle extended 'flt
privileges to all who would settle in lex-
undria, whether Jews or Greeks, which
drew crowds to the place. quder ha
auspices arose the Tower of Pharosaud the
magnificent temple of Senpis. He founded
an academy of learned men,,who devoted .
themselves to the study of whilosophy and
other sciences. For their use, he made 0
collection of choice books, which grew :
under his successors to 700,000 volume:
All books that he couldlay hands on were
sciz‘edund copied. the transcript reluvned to
the owner, and the original placcd‘vui the
library. If these book: had not becn’fbun-
