q The Richmond Wing, indignant at the re-
peated perversions of history, conclusively proves
that Lee did not surrender his sword to Grant,
and that, therefore, Grant did not magnani-
mousy return it to him. 1t is time these SLAM
ders upon the noble Confederate dead ceased.
Everybody knows that Lee did not surrender to
Grant, but that Grant surrendered to Lee.

V Hayes policy seems to be constantly
strengthening the good feeling North aud South,
among all classes except the Democratic leaders
and papers, and the Satanic press. These are
worried about two things: the fear that Hayes is
hopelsssly splitting the Republican party, and
the astounding discovery that the appointment
of Mr.. Key is the 6rst practical triumph of the
object sought by the rebellion. The New York
Sun has discovered the latter, and is really in a
bad way over it. OF course, the fact that the
people of the South are becoming satisfied, and
that the prospects for the Democracy to use them
as tools are becoming simmer every day, has
nothing to do with this great solicitude.

A CoNrRAsr.-Last week, within forty-eight
hours of each other, two Kansas editors died
one in his bed, and the other in his boots-and
nearly every Kansas paper issued during the
week, contained comments upon both events.
1t is interesting to compare them. For one, We
find sincere heartfelt regrets at the loss of an
honest, pure, and upright man, whose having
lived benefited the community and mankind in
general, and whose death was mourned by all
who knew him. For the other, We find regret
that be mot snch an end whose labors were
directed toward disseminating slander, and
whose living gave nothing to the world but dis
sension and strife All could have wished him .
better fate, but all were prepared to hear of his
taking off at any day. Such was the difference
between R. B. Taylor and J. Clarke Swayze.

appointed Secretary of the Navy. was not the
Same man who was known, some years ago, as
Wilson Thompson. Not exactly. That was a
horse of altogether a different color. Wilson
Thompson was political preacher, in the days
whom the Democracy did not have such a horror
of preachers IN politics. He was a Baptist
preacher, but preferred making Democratic stump
speeches. His range was south eastern Ohio and
south western Indiana-the Miami and White
water Valleys. He was at the height of his
fame about the time of the memorable campaign
of 1910 and he never seemed to recover from
the avalanche that overwhelmed Martin Van
Buren,. He was the subject of geod many jokes
by the Wing papers In speaking of his politi-
cal performances, he was usually associated with
DIR. Duncan and Moses Dawson. Duncan, o
Democratic Congressman from Cincinnati; Daw-
son, Democratic editor of Cincinnati, and Will
son Thompson, above described, were the three
Democratic big guns Of that region, in the cam
paign of 1s4o. Thompson, We believe, has been
dead for for many years, a. also have DR.. Alex

How to Get HydrOphObia.

Prof. Alvergna5, of Hartford, Conn.,,
was bitten by d cur on the night of
April 80. The wounds were washed
with carbolic acid and cauterized with
nitric acid. The morbid tendency of
human sympathy was never more strik-
ingly illustrated. His friends and neigh
bors seemed determined to drive him
into hydrophobia. It was foregone
conclusion with them; they told him
what to do they suggested modes of
treatment and remedies; they talked to
him about it; they wrote letters to him
they stoutly maintained that he would
eventually be attacked with the disease
and must be prepared for the worst. He
read medical treatises on the subject
he became nervous and excitable; last
Monday he complained of feeling un-
we'll, took vapor bath and experienced
a difficulty in swallowing; he grew
rapidly worse; on Tuesday night he at
tempted to strike the physicians who
were bending over him; the bare men
ton of water threw him into convul-
sions, although he could tolerate ice
placed in a cloth over his lips, and
could swallow the water oozing from it;
and on Thursday morning he died.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
IL VIII Take n Number of Years to Fully
AccOmDIiSh 1t.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
who has spent some time in Washington talk
ing with the President and members of the
Cabinet gives this Interpretation of the sort
of civil service reform the administration is
attempting: 1.-The President does not believe
the civil service reform, as contemplated, can
be carried out in any short time, or even
in one Presidents term II the people APP
prove of it they must continue to elect Presi-
dents who will work at it. The country has
grown so large, so many are the places to be
filled that the vacancies arising from natural
causes alone are almost sufficient to take
up the time of an administration. If a
sweeping change should be made, it is not in
human wisdom to appointsat once as good an
average set of men as those displaced, for the
incumbents at any given time are the result
of sitting process which has been going on
for years. What is hoped for is that the APP
pointments may be so distributed in time that,
each commission running four years. the va
cancies may occur regularly, about the same
number each month"; except as varied by
death or dishonesty, during the term of the
next President. The competitive examina-
tions will be applied strictly in Washington,
and, to some extent, elsewhere among depart
ment subordinates; but it is understood that
there is large class OF appointments outside
of Washington to whom such methods can
have no application whatever

No country on earth, says the GAINESVILLE

that of Hall county, Ga. We have the mag
netic ranging from sixty per cent to ninety

made on Wahoo of vast body Of the anhy-
drous sesqui-oxide of iron, which yields
seventy per cent.
"A curious fact, which may probably be
explained by the extreme depression of bust
ness In England, is shown by the French GUS
toms tables recently published. This is that
the exports Of the cheaper French wines to
England during the first quarter of the pres
emit year were between three and four times
as great as during the corresponding period
of 1876, while the exports of wine in bottles
considerably diminished. The people of Eng
land, it will be seen from this, are consuming
cheaper brands OF wine this year than last.
