THE STANDING ARMY.

Up to 1860, we, as a nation, throve
nightly. We grew TO be II great,
ovcrshadowiDg power. but not thro'
force or despotism. We became a
mighty people, with a standing army
costing but a few millions Of dollars
per year.
Things have changed. To-day,
after four years of peace, it is pro.
posed to keep up standing army
of 10000 men, at a cost OF $1,000
per year for each SOldier-a tax OF
$50. 600. We are not a people
who require a standing armed force
in our midst. We maintain our
government by opinion. We need
no 4O.O50 hired drones, to live life
of lazineSS at an expense of $50,
O00,0 to the working men This
military force is the idea of the
mongrelS and of Grant, who is a
professional soldier.
Soldiers are the remnants of the
barbaric ages. We do not need
them today. The national idea is
wealth creating. We want indus
try; we want peace; we can afford
no such despotic burden as stand
ing army of 10000 men at cGst of
$50, ,OO0, 900.
Science. art, knowledge, refinement
and commerce all withcr at the first
SpCck of war. Soldiers are clements
of carnage, anarchy. chaos, brutality
of all kinds. Human progress means
permanent peace, and simple gov
eminent, based, not on the might of
the sword, but the mild influence of
Il healthy public opinion. We want

an impoverished country, whose pov-

SENSIBLE TO THE LAsT.-It has long
been observed by medical writers that
death is frequently preceded by insanity,
a fact which has occasioned the remark
that i. was not astonishing, for every
body knew that when folks get madder,
they were about to die. This reminds US
Of a case which occurred many years ago
in Philadelphia court, wherein a pret-
ty young widow was in danger Of losing
two thirds Of her husbands estate-his
relatives grounding their claim on the al
legged insanity of the defunct. 1t may be
as well to premise that the presiding
Judge was not only conyi,ial, but also
very gallant.
What were your husbands last
words ," inquired the attorney,
The pretty widow bIashed, and looking
down, replied: I'D rather not tell.'
But. indeed, you must. ma'am.-
Your claim may be decided by it,"
Sill blushing the widow declined to
eli.
AT last a direct appeal from the bench
elected the information.
"He said, Kiss me Polly, and open
that other bottle OF Champagne" "
We know not whether it was admira-
ton for the deceased husband or the liv-
ing wife that inspired the judge at this in
stant, but he at once cried out with all the
Of conviction, Sensible to

that we may receive the victory in
all these States, except Iowa-and
even in that our friends are not

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS.
ASPECT OF POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN THE

From the Detroit Press,
The signs of the times are auspi-
cious. Never, in the history of polit.
ical contests, have the indications
thus early been so favorable to the
Democracy of the country as today.
In whatever direction we turn, the
voice of. hope and words of cheer
greet us. The people already begin
to take courage for the future. Dem
ocratic gatherings everywhere are
large and enthusiastic, while Radical
ones are small and spiritless. The
whole party seems Smitten with the
weight of guilt which is upon its

Throughout the South the Union
sentiments of the people are gaining

daily organizing meetings in num-

aged with the hope that, notwith-

of the Congressional Quirks, Gam
