His uncle, Beverly Tucker, was thirty years ago public printer and a well known editor and politician. His grandfather, Henry St.

Ebenezer Rock wood Hoar, of the senator, was attorney antler Grant, and also served in Here are three statesmen in one ly father and two sous. Ou the ma- side Geonee Frisbie and Ebenezer Jtoetwood Hoar are grandsons of Roger by aide in the seunte chamber sit Hoar and Sherman, the latter di- jTectly descended from the Shermans of xiaw Kpgland. Roer Sherman, a native Massachusetts settled in Connecticut, where he worked as a shoemaker, with an -open book before him on the bench. lie was a member of the First congress, sijrncd the Declaration of Independence and became a senator.

One of his grandsons was Charles R. Sherman, who migrated to Ohio in 1S10 and became judge of the su-jsreme court of that state. Three sons were born to him. Ose, Charles T. Sherman, became United States district judge la Ohio.

Another is lien. William IV comseh Sherman, and the third John $herman, the veteran senator who sits by "the side of bis distant relative, George Fris ids Hoar. By another curious coincidence Senator Evarts, of New York, sits within arm's Teach of Senators Hoar and Sherman. Mr. Erarts was the son of Jeremiah Kvarts.

a lawyer and writer of note in Boston, and on his mother's side was a graudsou of he ams Roger Sherman mentioned above whose Statue stands in Statuary hall. Of the senator from New York me ol New York's greatest senator, fiasco Conkling. Mr. Conk ling's father, was a member of congress and minister to Mexico, and his brother, Frederick was a member of congress. In the Thirty-seTenth congress botalioscoe Conk-iUng and bis brother were members.

Senator Don Cameron, who sits near by Soar and Sherman, married a daughter of Judge Charles T. Sherman Senator Cameron's father was the famous Simon Cam ron. who was four time elected to the Senate, and who was succeeded by his sjd. Don Cameron's chum is Senator Butler, of South Carolina. Senator Butir studied law with his uncle, Andrew Pickens Butler, who was for fifteen years a senator from that state.

Another of the ir seut Senator Butler's uncles was William Butler, who served in congress and who mar- Vied a sister of Oliver Uasard of tsvu asswsw le Of the Posts of Ormiai of Ireland Revolution he was a major in a British regiment in Boston, but afterward became a citizen of this country, and a Ke-publican instead of a royalist. He was lalegate to the first congress, signed the constitution, and was a senator in congress mt the same time Roger Sherman was. Moreover, the two men were good friends. Pierce M. Butler, son of Pierce Butler, was gallant general in the Mexican war, falling at Cherubusco.

Thus the Butler fam-fty at South Carolina has produced three United States aerators. The Butlers and Hw Pickenses are intermarried. Three of he Pickenses hare been in congress, and It was a Pickens who demanded the stir-Sander of Fort Sumter by Maj. Anderson. Senator Barbour, of Virginia, comes from a family of statesmen.

Hi- grandfa-sher was speaker of the house of representatives three-quarters of a century uk-i, and two other members of his family served in congress. Perhaps the most renmrkahlf case of family statesmanship is that of the Bayards, of Delaware. James A. Bayard was senator from to 1S13. hu son, sjl IT tlsjuid.

II is father, Cadwalader was in congress six or eight years from Wisconsin. His uncle, Israel. was for ten years a member of congress from Maim, and afterward governor of that state. Another uncle, Elihu spelling his namewith a final was In congress fourteen years from Illinois, finally becoming by his long experience the father of the house.

He was afterward the American minister to Paris during the ran eo-Prussian war. His son, Hempstead Washburn is ambitious to Erne to congress from Chicago, where he held several Important local offices. Senator Allison, of Iowa, traces his descent directly from the Allisons of Pennsylvania. Jamas Allison was a member of the Eighteenth and nineteenth congresses. His brother Robert was a member one term and his son John two terms.

One of the most remarkable families of i this country has ever known i the DssstHTs, of Pennsylvania. Dan te Ha1seaef Berks county, was a mem-fcer ol the Fine, Second, Third and Fourth niigiieeri He then removed to Maryland, pad was elected member of the Seventh and Bgnth congresses.

Startling Discovery. 1 be iliscovory by the Inhabitants of a locality hitherto unvisitod by the pestilent scourge of fever and ague, that it exists in their very loidf-t.

is decidedly startling. Such discoveries are wade at every season, in every part of toe Union. Subsequently, when it is ascertained, ns it invariably is at such times, through the valuable experience of some one who has benefitted and cured, that Hos-tetter's Hitters is a therougaiy efficacious eradicator of the malarial poison, and a means of fortifying the system against a feeling of more security and tranquility n-iuiis throughout the whole neighborhood, besides the febrile forms of malarial disease, dumb ague aud ague c.ikc are removed by the potent action olthe Bitters, to which science Ji.no 4 ves its sanction as a remedy for aeum-n'tstn. dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint debility, kidnev troubles, and all diseases Impairing the organs of digestion aad PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE. Hamld Atmosphere Favor Transmission of Typhoid fever Germs.

To determine the relation between the humidity of the atmosphere and the transmission of the typhoid bacillus a physician recently e.verimented as follows: A current of dry nir completely devoid of germs was conducted through vessel containing a beef broth culture of the bacillus, and into a second vessel containing steril-ized l)eef broth. The, second vessel remained steril. The result was the same when a dry at mospheric current was passed over pumice stone saturated with a culture of the typhoid laeilhis. When moist air wm niuisefl hroueb the same vessels a very different reeult whs obtained. The sterile beef broth culture was found, after the lapse of a quarter of an hour, to be thickly planted with the bacilli.

In nature, says the medical journal which reports the foregoing, this state of humidity is supplied by mi- or fog, and statistics show an increase of typhoid fevei in r.iris durirg the months of Octoler, November, December and January. The rupst general inode of propagation of ty- fever is by the contamination of the -oil or water, but there are cases in which ir is manifested by pulmonary localization, The germ may penetrate into the bronchial system in spite of every means of defense possessed by the organism. I Cracked Ice in the Sick Room. Finely cracked ice administered in a tea-spoonful of champagne or brandy has been the rallying point for many a sinking patient; or tii! ice finely crushed, so that it simply melts away tiie mouth, trickling down he throat rarherthan lie- i ing swallowed as a draught, is a most use- ful stimulant. People who take cracked ice get the stimulus of ice upon the nerves of thu mouth and tongue, and not Hooding by i water of the feeble throat and stomach.

The uses of cracked ice in cholera cases are familiar to some. It is possible that I with hot water bays at the feet, hot mush poultices on the stomach and a constant diet of cracked ire no further treatiiietii might lie needed to complete a euro. The lA'dgor. i One Theory Almtit lleaiH unci 11 ruin it. Dr.

Starr, of london. says ihat it is im- possible to draw any conclusion from the -size or shajie of th? head as to the extent or surfnee of the and so as to the. mental capacity. It is ahsurd to judge of the brain surface by either the size of the head or the extent of the superficial irregular surface which is covered by he skull, without taking into consideration the number of folds or the depth of a little brain with many folds may really, when spread out. have a Juries surface than a largo brain with few shallow! folds." Phrenologists, will probably dispute this theory.

A New Remedy for Seasickness. Dr. C. W. Hamilton, of the British navy, writes that he is found the seed of the kola (sterculia acuminata) a most css-f ul remedy in seasickness.

From one-iialf to oue dram of the st ed was slowly chewed, and in about half an hour th. distressing symptoms of the malady gradually dis-apjeared. The writer had never found any drug to act as well as this, and he believes that further trials win prove it to lie hii i effectual rennily tor kin's Chloroform nntl Ilenrt Aflcetlnn.

Among the latest is a "heart" dinner udven to six teen young people. The table Was heait. shaped and covered with pink ov. w-hic-h as laid line wdiite linen wii a heart, shaped lace medalliim in he -en: t'jion the medallion was a figure of ('upid in white marble. On eit her side were two large hearts of pink roses transfixed with silver arrows which fa-tencd them to the table.

1'piTi the cards of pink satin, decorated with band painted Cupids, were laid favors tiiiurce hearts and line silver chains for the girls and beautiful little moonstone hearts, mounted on silver pins, for the men. A moonlight lat parade has leen tho most noticeable of recent cntcrtuinmenTs. The romautie wiudim; river, picturesque, but too narrow to l' ursiiid, w.is lighted up by lanterns and carefully watched bonfires alotiic the whole route, and each bout, differently decorated, was illuminated by electric: lights arranged in rows upon arches. Flowers and ribbons and fancy costumes added also to the decorative effect. One of the most conspicuous boats was the Neapolitan fishing boat, the occu- pants of which wore the well kuown dress of the fisherman and tisherwoman of the country.

On reaching a certain jioiut up. the river lauding was effected, a supper was served mid dancing indulged in till after mtduujht. "Darn ing iu the barn" was written on 300 invitations sent out by a society woman not long ago from her home in the coun-try. The barn, which has just been built, I was charmingly decorated. Fleet ric lights and pink shudc gave out a soft radiance, The dancing was in the barn, which is an i immense room.

The carriage house was used for supper. The stalls, in which small tables were set for those who cared to use them at supper time, were hw with oak leaves carefully tacked down and illuminated with rows of Japanese hin-tcrns, all pink and green. It was a "costume" party, but only simple materials were used for the dresses. A notable part of the entertainment was tho opening procession headed by the host and hostess, which was in reality a sort of stately march or dance, like the 'polounise' of the Middle Ages, and served as the opening dance or prologue to the ball. There were many beautiful costumes notwithstanding the restrictions as to material, among them some dresses of the Iouis XV and XVI periods, capitally gotten up and gracefully worn.

Several flower cost times from a recent ballet were very loveiy. The Art of Leaving. When Mine, de Stael visited Weimer with the avowed intention of intellectually capturing the literary lions of the day-Goethe and Schiller she made one fatal intake; she stayed to long.
