FINANCIAL CONVALESCENCE
GRADUALLY GETTING DOWN TO HARD
PAN-WILL WE KNOW A HEALTHY
BASIS WHEN WE SEE IT!

II. ". r. in Cincinnati Commercial.
Next year will be hard one. 1t will
be worse than this, as this is worse than
last, and last was worse than the one be-
fore. We have not reached bottom; and
after we get there, those who look for an
immediate upward bound will be mis-
taken. We shall remain at the bottom
some time, and become acquainted with
depth of business misery to which the
past two years have been only introduc-
tory If this is not SO, then there is no
punishment for waste, extravaganza and
all the accumulated and heaped-up tinau-
clal sins of the past seventeen years. But
we know that there is. We know that
"the law of compensation" is eXacting
and that there must be replacement of
the wealth destroyed during the war and
a cessation of the public and private ex-
travagance engendered by the war per-
lod, The hard times now upon as were
due in 1865, and heaven only knows how
much better off we would have been had
the "panic" come then, and saved us the
habits of waste and extravaganza which |
we as a people learned too well between
1865 and 1873. Oh, those disastrous eight
years. This generation will not live to /
see out of the evils that these years have |
brought upon us. And yet some people |
believe that after a brief period of |
panic ana depression, such as Is now
upon us, we shall be out, having replaced |
the wealth consumed during the war and |
sunk in worthless railroads since the war,
and having cured ourselves of the bane-
full habits of waste and extravaganza en-
gendered by those Intoxicating years! |
They will live to see the mistake. And !
after we get fairly "out" and upon a
healthy basis the contrast will be so great |
as compared with the "fiush times" after
the war period that most people will call |
it depression still and not health. The
query comes up, Has not the war and in
tiation period spoiled us for the enjoy
ment of sound, healthy business basis?
Shall we know 1t when we've got 1t?
Shall we not be looking to the future for
relief from what is really permanent
thing? The man who has accustomed
himself to sixteen drinks of strong
whisky every day for sixteen years is
somewhat disqualified for the enjoyment
of light and pleasant wine in modera-
Jion. When we get to the "healthy
basis" that all look forward to with a
great longing l fear that we shall think
It very dull-in fact, fiat, stale and unproti-
5able, and every little while somebody
will arise and call for "more money"

A HERO'S DEATH.
THE PEACEFUL CLOSE OF STONE
WALL JACKSUN'S GREAT
CAREER.

Col. Kyd Douglass in the Phila. Weekly
Times.
The death of General Jackson was
characteristic in its singularity. At night
when the battle had ended, just as he had
achieved what he believed to be the most
! successful movement of his career, he,
whom the enemy began to believe both
}invulnerable and invincible, fell at the
hands of his own people. 1t is needless
to repeat the painful story of his wound
| ing and death. At first it was not believ-
| ed his wounds were mortal, andthe army
thought, in the language of General Lee,
"Jackson will not-he cannot die" But
it was written. Pneumonia lent its fear
ful aid to the enemy, and on Sunday af-
ternoon he closed his eyes and smiled at
his own spoken dream--'Let us cross
over the river and rest under the shade of
the trees" The dream thus spoken is
yet unbroken and his soul went out to
heaven, uplifted by sighs and prayers,
rising that hour, from altar and cloister,
all over the South for his recovery.
On Friday, the 10Th of May, 1868, his
body was taken for burial to his home in
Lexington. He had not been there since
he left it, two years before, at the begin
ming of the war. Only two years, and
yet how like a romance is the simple story
of his growth in fame. And now he lies
buried, as he directed, Gin the Valley of
Virginia." and among the people he loved
SO we'll. 1t were better so. He could
not save the South, and it was merciful
that he should perish first The tender
memory he left behind him in the army,
and the stern sense of duty he bequeathed
his soldiers, will be told by this little in
cident with which close this unworthy
sketch. The army of Lee was on its
march to Gettysburg, and the command
ing general had given strict orders for its
discipline in Pennsylvania. An officer
riding to camp from ChambeIsburg, late
at night, was halted by the outposts.-
Having neither pass nor countersign, in
his dilemma he bethought himself of an
old pass in his pocket-book signed by
General jackson, whose recent death
hung like a cloud over the army. He
found it and handed it with confidence to
the sentinel. The trusty fellow m&naged
to read it by the light Of match, and as
he did so he seemed to linger and hesitate
over the signature. And then, as the
light went out, he handed it back, and
looking up toward the stars beyond, he
said, sadly and firmly, "Captain, you can
go to heaven on that paper, but you can't
pass this post"

iEXTRAVIGANT REPORTS FROM THE

EAIhANlphNI REPOkTS FROM THE
'"' WHITE MOUNTAINS.
A despatch from Milan, n. H., is as
follows:-
The resident and surrounding popula-
ton hereabouts is greatly exercised over
the recent discovery III the town of en-
-ormous gold and other valuable mineral
deposits. The eXtravagaut reports which
have gone forth have brought hther
many experienced miners aud prospec-
tors; and so extensive has been the rush
that the Grand Trunk Railway has estab-
lished regular station at the point of
aurlferous discovery which is about a
hundred miles from Portland, Me-, and
only dozen miles from the famous sum
mer resort Of Gorham, n. II.
"The discovery was accidentally made
few days since by Mr.. Fogg on farm
which he had owned upwards twenty
years. He sold out the whole tract at a
fabulous sum to III X. Flagler, of Boston.
That there is millions in it" is believed
by everybody here, and the assays which
have been made warrant the opinion
that this country is rich in gold and other
valuables. The vein which has been dis
covered is about eighteen feet in width,
with well-defined walls, running north
east and southwest, and extending for
over mile. The lode contains copper
and lead, carrying gold and silver very
rich, the ore being clean and solid from
wall to wall. A blast put in few days
ago and throwing ten tons assayed as
high as $3.50 and $500 per ton, fifty per
cent. of the mineral product being copper,
twenty per cent. each of gold and lead,
and ten per cent of silver.
"Pending the excitement Mr., Flagler
is undecided whether he will work the
whole mine himself or dispose of portion
Of 1t. In any event the new Ell Dorado
romises to bring this heretofore seclud-
ed section prominently before the county,
and the rural residents are getting ready
for the anticipated reproduction of the
scenes Of early mining life in California"

THE FLORIDA RETURNING
.i.. BOARD. tt.

! 81 Notwithsta the protest of the bes
c tizens OF Dakota, Hayes has determined
TO appoint DR.. Cowgirl, a member of the
Returning Board of Florida, to be Mar
shal OF that Territory. AS an excuse fol-
this barefaced piece of carpet baggsm, in
transplanting venal partisan from one
extreme of the Union to the other, it is
| alleged that Cowgirl is ostracised at home
and cannot live satisfactorily among the
people he outraged.
This is the reason given by the Fraudu.
lent President for paying debt contract
red by his agents for falsifying the returns
Of Florida! The Returning Board con.
sisted OF two Republicans and oneDemo-
crat. Cowgirl held the vote of the State
in his hand with full knowledge that
1t had been fairly cast for Tilden. He
volunteered the strongest assurances of
an Intention to act uprightly, and many
Democrats who had confidence in his
character and who supposed they knew
him well, believed he would redeem
these pledges.
After the agents of Zach Chandler ap-
peared on the ground, and were supple
mented by the confidential friends of
DdlU
OFF with the mission to France, the indi-
cations of bargain and sale began to
crop out on the surface. All the cores
pondence from Tallahassee made plain
that Florida was to be treated on the
Louisiana plan, and by a preconcered
arrangement, which was disclosed in the
kilograms to Governor Stearns, chief
party to the iniquity, since appointed
by Hayes on the Commission to Ar
kansas.
The vote was stolen by the board, and,
of course by the completely Of Cowgill
The Supreme Court of the State, with
Republican majority, ordered recount
under certain prescribed conditions, which
Cowgirl and his confederate violated in
order to count in Hayes by monstrous
fraud. To do this they included the vote
Of Clay county, which they themselves !
had previously excluded as illegally and
falsely returned. They stopped at moth
ing to secure for Hayes the three electoral
votes which the people had given TO
Tilden by more than a thousand ma
jority,
In all these proceedings Cowgirl PLAYED
the foulest part, because he had occupied
" icoPSNIauiC pooltlOIi III Ullt community
and was trusted. The consideration that
changed him is not now known. but it
cannot be always concealed. Truth like
murder Will out sooner or later. After
the action of the Supreme Court of the
State, the investigation of the House, ,and
the ilnal review OF the returns, there
could be but one conclusion as TO the
villainy practised by the Florida Return
ing Board.

The old fellow has gone; the best alma
He went out as quietly as if he was nobody in
particular but when he reaches the shades
where old years congregate his predecessors
will glover enviously at him if anything of
earthly nature adheres to them. To have
given the world. the Centennial Exhibition,
the Servian war, the Belknap trial, the Wag-
ner marvel at Baireuth, the Brooklyn fire
and the mysterious returning boards are
achievements any one Of which would justify
humdrum years in shaking shadowy fists at
their own prosaic natal stars. But tho late
lamented &c did all this and yet found
time to bring us back silver change and Boss
Tweed. He ran the unvafying course OF
true greatness, for during his lifetime he
was soundly cursed for his own faults and
those of every one else beside, while now
that he is gone his virtues enlarge as rapidly
as the bank balance of New York gas COM
pany He did not seem exactly in o millen-
NAL humor. nor did he leave things
in shape for his successor to inaug-
urate the era Of easy money, pure
politics, personal honesty, the legitimate
drama and the endurable opera but he dug
the graves of hosts of humbugs and saw to it
that the corpses were ready. Reviewing his
own career, he may be pardoned if he draws
his misty robe proudly about him and stands
aloof from the common herd of years. Like
n great man in retirement, he can afford to
look patronizingly and pityingly down at
the callow fellows who succeed him and try
to fill his tremendous shoes. He is gone,
but not forgotten. His earthly grave is in the
hearts of the people, and while over it may
sound sad signs and drop bitter tears, it will
be kept green by many tender remem-
brance and merry heart throb.
