a ST. Louis correspondent of the

gives the following description of his
appearance:
He Is a tab, gray haired, bearded
and mustached man without any APP

person. He has precisely the appear
:lnce of 4 plain unpretending Missouri
farmer, wearing a suit of cloth clothes
made about ten or twenty years ago,
but kept through all these years as n
"Sanday-go-to-meeting- suit" His hat
was the worst part of his garb-an
e5d, dilapidated, low-crowned, mouse
colared wool hat, that would not sell
for moRe than a dime at an auction
sale .ef cast eff clotking- His moves
ment was a swinging, awkward unim-
perial gait. Ny vision of his Majesty
has taken all the poetic IDEAS of impe-
rial grandeur out of me. i shall new
er read or hear of imperial robes,
imperial crown" and "every inch a
king" without thinkingof Dom Pedro,
with his old coat and dilapidated hat.

We agree with the Courier-Journal
in its financial position as expressed be-
low, if we cannot ON other points.
Let US not split our party on this vex-
ed question, but all go TO work to win
an overwhelming victory in NOvem>
Der.
As matters stand we can not perfect
or carry out any scheme of our own.
The whole question will have to be
RELOCATED to the future, ard ought TO
be relegated to the Congressional dis,
tricts. Assuredly it is unwise in us to
wrangle over it on the heels of a presi-
Dental contest in which the question
is not so much what sort of money we
shall use as what sort of government
shall we have. We want to beat the
Radicals first, and settle the finances
afterward. In cooking a rabbit, the
first principle is to catch the rabbit.
The Democrats can do nothing until
they get the power, and they ought
not TO bind themselves too tightly in
advance.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1876-06-01

The following, which we clip from
the Nashville American, is fine food
for thought. Our people may grum-
bic about hard times and radical rule,
but the only way to gain true indie
pendence is to 60 to work and raise
everything at home which we have
been buying in the Northwest and
then manufacture everything we can
at home. Do this and the South will
be more independent than she would
have been had she succeeded in the
late war. Indeed, if she had done
this for ten years before the war, she
could hardly have been conquered at
all.
The little dispatch from Galveston

Texas has been in the habit of getting

get all their supplies of food and i'm
plement> from Northern States. The
new departure in the South, TO raise
slnd manufacture these essentials at
heme, is quietly working a commercial
Eevolurion in the Mississippi Valley.
The good practice is already spread
ing over the South like contagion.
1t means mixed crops and commercial
independence. When it becomes gen.
cr;ll in the great staple producing re-
gion, IT will stop an enormous drain
of money from our section. 1t will

no argument on theimmigration ques-
ton more potent and practical. The
Withdrawal of this enormous patron

Northwestern people. The sack of

of the inevitable, hut it is not without

not Sunday, conteDding that the lat
ter was pagan name. did not seem
to be aware that Sunday and the Sab
bath are twovery different things. The
Sabbath is the seventh day of the week,
and its observance was enjoined under
the Old Dispensation. But with the
New Dispensation the old Sabbath
passed away. The first day of the
week was observed, not as the Sabbath,
but in cotnmemoration Of Christ.
1t was the Lords Day, a thing of
purely Christian establishment, and
to-day it depends for authority on the
custom ofthe earliest Christians as
described in the Acts of the Apostles.
If the religious denominations dislike
the term Sunday because of its pagan
association, then call the day the
Lords Day, for which there is fnll au-
thority.

THE STANDARD.


There IN name so sweet, so dear,
That could never write IL here,
Where careless eyes perchance might sec
The name loved one gave TO me;
A little name, one simple word,
Soft as the twitter of bird,
Brooding above her tiny nest
But, Oh IL Is the dearest, best;
And softly I'll that name repeat
Until my heart shall cease TO beat.
There is q little, plaintive song,
My heart repeats the whole day long,
i heard it once at days decline,
Low breath'd by lips close pressed to mine.
i would not that a careless ear
Should catch the song love 10 hear;
So my hearts throbbings come and go
AS TO myself breathe IL low;
Soul-music holy, glad and deep,
Within my heart of hearts keep.
There is a heart so warm and true,
And eyes of pure and tender hue;
i know full well need not fear
What fate may bring, IL they are near.
o, fond, true faith, on which rest,
And own myself so richly blest!
o faithful friend, for whom yearn,
And count the hours till they return;
The name, the song, the heart 4 own,
keep for thee, and thee alone!
