Every day brings the conclusive proof
that radical reaction is taking place in the
Republican party. Perhaps no city in the
Union has exhibited more radical and de-
termined Abolition front than Chicago :;
and yet even here, public opinion is rapid y
and certainly wheeling round to the right
The position which has been assumed by
the Times on the Union and the necessity
of subordinatng all other questions to that
Of preserving it, has not only received I'M
mense stimulus from the demonstrations
made by our conservative business men,
but was fully and substantially endorsed by
Gov. Banks at the Briggs House.
We find, also, that our views Of the
rights Of the South in the territories, and
OF the true law that is to govern the slavery
question in them, arc directly and fully sus-
tanned by the ablest and most distinguished
Republican of Chicago. WIN. B. Ogden,
in his late speech to the merchants, who
surrounded him at his residence, declares
emphatically that the Republican party
have committed great mistake, and that
unless that mistake is fully and promptly
corrected, the Union is lost. lie declares
that the South have equal rights in the ter.

past the North have had the decided ad-
vantage. lie admits that no action Of Con-
gress can in fact affect the establishment Of
slavery, and argues that the whole question
will of necessity be settled by the laws Of
race and of nature. This is precisely the
truth; and we are glad that Mr.. Ogden, at
this late hour even, takes such stand. 1t
is only to be regretted that such men failed
to perceive their mistake until the most ter.
rible disaster has overtaken the country
Let US be thankful, however, that even now
truth is beginning to triumph. Chicago

CHARLES SuMNER.--On the 4th of July,
1908, Charles p. Sumner, father Of the
present Senator from Massachusetts,, deliv-
cred an grafton before the Young Republi-
cans Of Boston, in which occurs the follow
ing passage:
There is indeed no diversity of interest
between the people of the North and the
people Of the South; and they are no friends
to either ,oAo endedvor to stimulate and en-
bitter the ono against the other. What If
the sons Of Massachusetts, rank high on the
roll of revolutionary fame? The wisdom
and heroism for which they have been dis
tinguishcd, will never permit them to in
dulge in inglorious boast. The independ-
ence and liberty we possess are the result
Of joint counsels and joint efforts---of COM
mon dangers, suff,rings. and success; and

the United States, aud the frolicsome
Palmettoes threatened to cut up some Of

found this awkward fact suddenly star

chiva'ric Governor waxed wroth, and ap
piled to President Fillmore for explana'

Mr.. President. no one will dispute our
forefathers' maxim that the common safe
ty of all is the safety Of each of the States.
While :hey remain united, the Federal
Government combines all the materials
and all tue forces of the several States;
organizes their defenses ON one general
principle; hatmoniaes and assimilates them
with one system; watches for them with
asihgle eye. which it turns in all direc-
tions. and moves all agents under the
control Of one executive head. A nation

Give the Children Fresh Air.

Some parents make the great mistake
of keeping their children indoors du-
ring cold weather. Such a practice is
pernicious in many respects. 1t enfee-
bles the bodies OF children and renders
them peculiarly liable to be attacked by
colds and coughs. a child should have
it's feet well shod with socks and boots,
its body we'll wrapped in warm clothing,
its head and ears securely protected from
the cold, and then let loose to play in
the keen bracing winter air. By this
means its body will become robust, and
its spirits be kept bright and cheerful;
whereas, if a child be shut up in the
house, it will become fretful and fever
ish, and perhaps wind up with severe
attack Of illness.

COULD NOT CALL HER MOTHER.
BY CAROLINE.

l could not call her mother,
The stranger when she came,
l could not give another
That loved and cherished name.
For my mother was an angel,
AS thought of her on high,
And none could fill the vacant place
She left when called to die.
l could not call her mother,
Tho she took her sacred place,
For it was not her sweet voice,
Or her kind and loving face.
l could not call her mother,
For unbidden tears would start
To think that 1 thus early
With my mother had to part.
l could not call her mother,
Tho she came to US with love,
AS if sent by the angel
That watched US from above.
But she made our home more happy,
And we grew to love her more,
For her sympathy and kindness,
Which we longed for before.
Tho she cannot fill the vacant spot,
Left by our mother DEAR
Yet by kindness and affection
She has dried many tear.
And I now feel the blessing
That unto US was given:
A mother here below to love,
And one to love in heaven.

MODERN ARMS AND HOW TO USE
THEM.

The Scientific american give de-
scription of the arms used in modern
warfare from which we copy the follow
ing, which will be of interest at this
time
The great essentials of modern in
fantry tactics are quick and steady move
ments, combined with rapid and accu-
rate rifle shooting. A complete revolu-
ton has been effected in the army
Exercises in Europe, in ten years; few Of
our soldiery seem to be aware of the fact
Every soldier and citizen should now
make himself acquainted with field ex-
ercises, by shooting at targets at various
distances, from 200 up to 1900 yards,
while performing rapid evolutions. All
our citizen soldiers require considerab BILE
severe drilling in the field, so as to be-
come quick and accurate marksmen.-
The first thing necessary for soldier is
a trusty rifle 1t should be easily and
conveniently charged, and its fire should
be certain and effective. 1t should be
capable Of destroying an enemy at the
distance of 1900 yards with its bullet
and it should be effective in hand to-
hand combat with a sword or bayonet
attached to it. A soldier should, there
fore, know what lis rife can do, and
what he can do with it, at certain dis
tances. If he is ignorant Of these, let
him be taught before sending him to
FIGHT.

RAISING THUNDER WITH THE WAX
WORK,

The following is letter written by
Artemus Ward, from the seclusion in
the bosom of his family, and contains a
touching "reminiscences of former chen
ber:"
Hear in the buzzum of my family /
am enjoyin myself at peas with awl
mankind, and the wimmin folks hike
wise. l go down to the village occa-
shunly and take little old ri for the
stummicks saik, but I avoid spurious

ever seen me iatoxikated but onct, and

ed inter the hawl during the mite and
aboozed my wax WORK shamefully. l
didn't observ the outrajus transacshun
UNTIL the next evening, when the peple

dommenst for to holler and larf in

what's up? Sez they, them's great wax
WORK, old man. immejitly looked up
to where my wax WORK was, and my
blood biles It's think of the site which
met my gaze. [ hope to be dodrab-
bertid if them afoursed raskals hadn't
gone and put an old kaved in hat onter
George Washington's he'd, and shuved
short clay pipe inter his mouth. His
nose they had painted red, and his trow-
sis legs they had shuved inside of his
butes.
My wax flyer of Napoleon Boneypart
was likewise maltreated, his sword was
dangling tween his legs, his cooked hat
was drawn clean down over his ize, and
he was placed in stoopin posishun
zactly as tho he was drunk as a billed
owl. General Taylor was standin on his
he'd, and Wingfeld Scots cote tales was
pinned over his head, and his trowsis was
completely torn orr hisself. My wax
work representa- the Lords last supper
was likewise aboozed. Three Of the
Postels was under the table, and two of
them had on old tar powlin hats and
raggid pee jackets and ware smokin
pipes. Judas Iskarriott had ona cooked
hat and was apparently drinkin at bot
til of whisky sot before him. This ere
spectercal was too much for me. |
closed the show and then drowned my
sorrers in the hoWin bole
Probly lie rite you agin before take
my departure on the summer campane.
