Wheelers trength is his well-known
conservatism in relation to the South.
He was thdauthor of what has be-
come famots under his name as the
wheeler Compromise" whereby the
hostile factons in Louisiana were
conciliatedland a condition of peace
and competitive good feeling was
brought ou from what threatened a
new civil var. This Cancellation
was brought about by Mr.. Wheeler's
personal adivity and judgement, and
his final adjustment of affairs We're
conceded d all sides to have been
judicious, Dir, end honorable. 1t
will be renem bered that the state Of
things was chaotic, that parties were
implacable, land the whole country
seriously disturbed. Mr.. Wheeler's
efforts resulted in the permanent es-
tablishmens of the Kellogg State
Government, and the reorganization
of the State Legislature on basis
representing the honest popular
vote as nearly as might be. All
parties in louisiana and the entire
American people have reason to be
grateful to Mr.. Wheeler for his her.
culean labors and judicial fairness in
that CONTROVERSY.

TIE testimony of S. ]. Conkling,
duplicating +. w. Reyes in the
whisky frauds at Milwaukee, may
not be sufficient to convict the Boss,
but in the minds of Republicans here
Always it is sufficiently damaging to
him to render his continuance at the
head Of the Central Committee dan
gerous to the Republican cause in
the;approaching campaign. The good
of the party requires that some other
name should be substituted for his
as chairman, and the members of the
Committee should accomplish it
with as little delay as possible. In
these days it is important that those
at the head of the party should be
not only innocent before the lar, but
above the possibility of Suspicion.

our PLATFORM.

The National Republican Conven-
ton certainly achieved victory in
it's platform, the intelligence, hon
esty, and vigor of which will do
more to assist the party to victory
than mere pro tolD,o utterances US
ually do. 1t is a credit to the gem
tlemen who wrote it, credit to the
Convention which adopted it, and a
credit to the party which indorses it.
1t is declaration of principles to
which evs@y patriotic citizen must
subscribe, and it may be referred to
with pride and advantage through
out the entire national contest. The

The Sultan's Suicide.

The official report on the cause of the
death OF the late ex-sultan of Turkey,
signed by nineteen physicians of all ma
tionalities, contains the following state
ment: Upon being summoned by the
sultan to ascertain the cause of the death
of Abdul Aziz Khan, we found the body
lying on a mattress. All parts of the
body were cold and bloodless, except
that the outside was covered with coagu-
lated blood. The body was not rigid.
The eyes and mouth were partially
open. Limpid streaks of blood were
upon the arms and legs. The veins and
cubital artery below the bend of the left
arm were cut. only the small veins OF
the right arm we're cut; the arteries were
intact. We were shown pair of very
sharp and blood stained scissors, and
were told that Abdul Aziz himself in
ficted the above described wounds
Herewith. We are unanimously of the
opinion that death resulted from hemor,
rhage OF the vessels of the arms, and
the scissors might produce the wounds.
Lastly, the direction and nature of the
wounds, and the instrument which is
said to have produced them, caused us
to come to the conclusion that the case
is one of suicide.

A Country School.
Pretty and pale and tired

Pretty and pale and tired
She sits in her stiff backed chair,
While tho blazing summer sun
Shines in on her soft brown hair,
And the tiny brook without,
That she hears through the open door
Mocks with it's murmur cool
Hard bench and dusty floor.
1t seems such an endless round
Grammar and A, B, G;
The blackboard and the sums
The stupid geography
When from teacher to little Jem
Not one of them cares straw,
Whether John is in any lease
Or Kansas in Omaha
But Jemmy's bare broE n feet
Are aching to wade in the stream,
Where the trout to his Turing bait
Shall leap with quick bright gleam
And his teachers blue eyes stray
To the flowers on the desk hard by,
Till her thoughts have followed her eyes
With half-unconscious sigh.
Her heart outruns the clock,
AS she smells their faint sweet scent !;
But when have time and heart
Their measure in unison blent
For time will haste or lag,
Like your shadow on the grass,
That fingers far behind,
Or flies when you fain would pass.
Have patience, restless Jem,
The stream and the fish will wait
And patience, tired blue eyes
Down the winding road by the gate,
Under the willow shade,
Stands some one with fresher flowers
So turn to your books again,
And keep love for the after hours.

Sleep Is the Best Stimulant.

The best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak TO carry any
thing through is to go to bed and sleep
for week if he can. This is the only
recuperation of brain power, the only
actual recuperation of brain force; be-
cause, during sleep, the brain is in a
state Of rest, in condition to receive
and appropriate Particles of nutriment
from the blood, which take the place of
those which have been consumed or in
previous labor, since the very act of
thinking consumes or burns up solid
particles, as every turn of the wheel or
screw of the splendid steamer is the
result of consumption by fire of the fuel
in the furnace. The supply of con-
sumed brain substance can only be had
from the nutritive particles in the blood,
which were obtained from the food
eaten previously; and the brain is SO
constituted that it can best receive and
appropriate to itself those nutritive
particles during a state of rest, of quiet,
and stiffness of sleep. Mere stimulants
supply nothing in themselves they goad
the brain, and force it to q greater con
sumption of its substance, until thai
substance has been Sc exhausted tha
there is not power enough left to receive
a supply, just as men are so near deatf
by thirst and starvation that there is no
power enoughleft to swallow anything
and all is over. ..l. -..s,r.. :.
