THE ARMY.

II the Nez Perces braves in Ihaho could only
next fall and scalp the democratic members
who voted to reduce the army and tie the
hands of the war department, they would
earn a vote of thanks from the nation-Jour-
nal.
The radical party will never forgive the
democratic house of representatives for re
fusing the appropriation of money to cruelty
sovereign states. The administration of
Grant-the most infamous one that ever
cursed the country-used the army to up
hold thieves and destroy states rather than
to protect our frontier settlements. Had it
been, last summer, within sustaining dis
lance of Custer that brave man and his fol-
lowers would not have been massacred.
But Grant wanted it to sustain Wells and his
thieving associates on the Louisiana return
ing board while they stole the presidency
from the people. He wanted it to protect
Stearns and his radical associates on the
Florida returning board while they fraud
ulently set aside the verdict of the people of
that state. He wanted it to over
awe the representatives of the people
at Washington and compel them
to acquiesce in the counting in of
Hayes by the president of the senate. Had
it not been. for the army Wells and Ander-
son and their negro pals would never have
dared to reverse the will of the people of
Louisiana and give the electoral vote of that
state to Hayes. Had it not been for the
army Stearns and his carpetbag associates
would not have risked their necks by count
ing in the Hayes electors in Florida. Had
it not been for the army Grant and Chandler
and their co-conspirators would never have
devised the plan to rob the people Of their
choice for president through the manipula-
tons of the president of the senate. The
people owe a deep debt OF gratitude to the
democratic members of the last congress for
refusing to appropriate money for their
further enslavement. Had not congress re-
fused the army money without STIMULATING
that it should not be longer used to destroy
liberty and throttle states, the carpet-bagger
Chamberlain would now be the acting gov
ernor of South Carolina instead of practicing
law in New York, and the rough and brutal

First, let your cellars be large, well venti

above the level of the ground The breath
of life in furnace-heated houses depends
literally on the air OF the cellar, unless there
be hue for fresh air extending from the
furnace out of doors (never the case in cheap,
snowy houses The air of the whole house
is sucked through this narrow and often un-
clean apartment, the care of which is
usually intrusted 10 ignorant servants. We
have spoken in a previous number of the
malaria engendered by massing quantities
of vegetables in the cellars as is the practice
in farm-houses during the winter. The
lining of stone or cement not only prevents
dampness but is absolutely necessary in
streets through which the sewers pass, as a
protection from rats Terriers ferrets, traps
or poison are feeble defenses against the
legions which swarm in nightly from a
neighboring culvert. Next TO the cellars
comes the kitchen. which should be large,
airy and sunny. To take no higher ground,
conveniences in this department are a
polite investment which pays a
full interest of capital, especially
to the housekeeper who does not
live in a large city. Stationary tubs, closets
beneath the dressers for -four, dry groceries,
spices, ETC., will be likely to tempt INTO he

Differed and handled The people win not
forget how they were swindled out of the
fruits of a hard-earned victory, AMI the rec
objection of it will nerve them IN their eff
forts to defeat those who did 1t. We say the
people, for there are many DIen who voted
the republican ticket last fen who love fair
play and honest dealings. and these men
will help with their votes to drive from
power the party which filized perjury and
fraud in the theft Of t'ae presidency. Had
the will of the people been respected and
their verdict at the uolls not been set aside,
Samuel j. Tilden would now be president
and the present occupant of the white house
be at Columbus signing notarial commission )
and pardoning convicts- This fact will
cause many of those who voted for Hayes to
turn their backs upon a party which has
proved itself ready and willing to accept
success at the hands OF villains and per-
jurers.
1t is not now the time to speculate upon
who shall be the recipient of senatorial hon.
ors if the democracy succeed in carrying the
next legislature. Whoever he may be,
the country will have cause to rejoice
that he will take the place of one whose
senatorial life has brought nothing but evil
upon the country. As ambitious as Luci-
fer, as bloodthirsty as Marat, and as unscru-
pulous as Bacon, the acts of the present re-
publican senator from Indiana have been a
source Of unmixed evil to the country. The
day he leaves public life and sinks into the
retirement which surely awaits him ought
to be day of thanksgiving and rejoicing in
Indiana. He has ruled his party as with a
rod of iron, and through his party has been
able to impress his policy and his hates
had for its object the peace and paci-
cation of the country ever had
his support, but every proposition
to shackle a vanquished people and intensi-
fly the hate against them commanded his
best efforts and talents. Whoever may sue
coed him will be an improvement, but it is
to be hoped that it will be some one who, by
his commanding talents and earnest efforts
in the cause of peace and fraternity, can by
contrast bring out in its blacklist colors the
senatorial woI1 of Morton. Neither must
his labors in the stealing of the presidency
be forgotten. His handiwork on the joint
commission proved him an adept in politi-
cal thievery, even if further proof were
wanting. To most persons the apportion-
ment laws of the state would be sufficient
evidence upon the subject, but his action on
the joint commission was piling "Pelion on
'Ossa" He must and will be beaten next
year. if the democracy of Indiana does it,

A Turkish Butcher and the Dogs.

Along comes hideous burden, born by q
miserable and much enduring horse, whose
load is hidden by aghastly, blood stained

Pera with stock of goats flesh and Cara

planks on either side form both the shop
front and the block, on which the uninvit-

shops in Pera which furnish the tables of
the better classes with excellent meat, the
beef coming principally from Odessa, but
the wandering meatman is the purveyor of
humble households, who patronize also the
trade of another individual somewhat in
the same line of business, the ''djighirdji,"

Fashions in Lingerie, Etc.

Plain deep cuffs Of double black Grape
with collars to match are worn by
widows. Plated frills of black crepe
isse with the same at the wrist, or else
cuffs, are worn for all other first deep
mourning; but these are only worn a
short time, as the preference now is for
white about the neck and wrists. Large
white cuffs Of very sheer organdy have
hem or facing an inch wide stitched on,
and are fastened by thread buttons;
these are worn outside the sleeves. There
are more dressy cuffs made of three rows
of revers edged with futed footing, and
held by black ribbon bow. Breakfast
caps for widows have large crowns and
plated frills of organdy muslin, with
wide band of black basket woven ribbon
around the crown. More dressy caps for
widows are fiat pieces for the top of the
head made entirely of widows ruches of
crimped white tarlatan, with four strings
of narrow black ribbon tied under the
back hair. Squares and pointed Mary
Stuart coiffures are made OF revers,
footing or organdy, with ruches; black
bow is laid on top; some have wide,
white muslin strings tied behind. Black
stockings are now most used by ladies in
mourning. Balmoral skirts are of black
twilled wool or of fine felt, trimmed with
single knife-plaiting. Undressed kid
gloves are liked because they have no
luster. and, moreover, are less expensive
than dressed kid. -Harper's Bazor.

The Consul Who Can't SPELL.

An amusing incident is said to have
occurred in the Cabinet meeting when
Secretary Evarts mentioned the fact that
Emory P. Beauchamp, of Terre Haute,
was urged by many of the Indiana dele
cation in Congress for the Belgian mis-
sion. Mr.. Beauchamp is at present
Consul at Cologne. His application has
been pressed very earnestly, and many
dispatches from prominent citizens of
Indiana have been received, urging his
appointment. The Washington Repub-
hcan newspapers have also been loud in
his praise. Secretary Evarts spoke of
him at the Cabinet meeting as a gentle
man from Secretary Thompson's town,
and inquired of the Secretary after his
neighbor. At this point Postmaster
General Key said he would like to tell
a little story he had heard illustrating
Mr.. Beauchamp's fitness for q position
under Mr.. Evarts' department. It ap-
pears that year ago My. Beauchamp
addressed some touching letters to
young American lady travelling abroad.
In one of them he made tender of his
whole heart, which he wrote "Hole
hart, " and the rest of his epistle cor
responded throughout with this sample
of his photography. AT this statement
there was general laugh. Mr.. Evarts
turned the joke on Secretary Thompson
at the expense of his neighbor. Mr..
Thompson defended himself when asked
if they had many candidates of this high
standard in his town by declaring that
it had always been rather surprising
that Mr.. Beauchamp was ever appointed
Consul, and that it continues to be
surprise to his townsmen that Mr.. Evarts
keeps him in. After the Cabinet meet
ing Mr.. Beauchamp called on Secretary
Thompson TO inquire how his case
looked, and he was advised by him to
pack up and leave for Cologne at once,
and be thankful if he succeeded in keep
ing his position there Washington

A River that Does Not Give Up Its Dead.

The Colorado river (not our Texas,
Colorado is noted for ''swirls, " so called.
They occur everywhere, but only at
high stages of water. A bubble rises
from the bottom and breaks with a
slight sound on the surface. The water
at the point begins rotary motion, SO
small that an inverted tea-cup might
cover it. Larger and larger grows the
circle, till surface of forty feet in diana
eter is in motion, spinning round fun
nel-shaped hole in the center, two or
three feet across at the top, and coming
to point in the depths below. Often a
large tree floating down the stream is
caught, and it's foremost end thrust up
in the air twenty or thirty feet, while
the other passes underneath-the ex-
posed end to be slowly drawn down
again, and to disappear. Three sol
diers-deserters from Camp Mohave-
passing through the ravine in skiff,
Immediately below the fork, suffered
their craft to run into a swirl. One Of
the crew, at the first intimation of dan
ger, threw himself overheard, beyond
the charmed circle, and, as he swan
away, he turned his head and saw the
boat spin round until, one end being
drawn into the vortex aud the other up
heaved in the air, it slowly sank as it

river, it's human freight to be seen no
more; for the Colorado river does not
give up it's dead-no corpses lodge on
its shores. -Ho71tSV5Iie Item.

How Webster Slaughtered the Romans,

Webster, as Secretary of State under
Harrison, had worrisome time about
the Presidents inaugural message. He
wrote one out himself, and endeavored
to make Harrison accept it, but that
worthy was obdurate; he had prepared
his own and was determined to read it.
Webster told his friend Harvey that he
was annoyed because the message was,
according to his judgment and taste. so
inappropriate. It entered largely into
Roman history, and had a great deal to
say about the States of antiquity and the
Roman proconsuls and various matters
of that kind. Indeed, the word "pro-
consul . was repeated in it great many
times. When he found, says Mr.. Har-
vey, that the President was bent upon
using his own inaugural, Mr.. Webster
said that his desire was to modify it, for.
as it then stood, he said, it had no more
to do with the affairs of the American
Government and people than q chapter
in the Koran. Gen. Harrison rather re-
luctantly consented to let him take it,
Mr.. Webster spent portion Of the next
day in modifying the message. Mrs.
Seaton remarked to him, when he came
home rather late that day, that he looked
fatigued and worried. Said she. CT

"You would think that something had

A japanese Rip Van Wrinkle.

The Japanese have the story of Rip
Van Wrinkle in another form. A young
man fishing in boat ON the ocean was
invited by the goddess of the sea to her
home beneath the waves. After .hree
days he desired to see his old father and
mother. On parting, she gave him a
golden casket and key, but begged
him never to open it. At the village
where he lived all was changed, and he
could get no trace of his parents until
an aged woman recollected having heard
of their names. He found their graves
100 years old. Thinking that three days
could not have made such change, and
that he was under spell, he opened the
casket. A white vapor rose, and under
it's influence the young man fell to the
ground. His hair turned gray, his form
lost it's youth, and in few moments he
died of old age.
