That blessed time has come when
weakly constitutional men whose ply
sique does not allow them to do manu-
al labor, gather about the side walks
and swing themselves off into space
BY the impetus given by a pain of
48 pound dumb-bells.
The division in ideas, sentiment
and tendencies between the class of
leaders to whom Reagan. Hill, and
Kershaw belong, and those with whom
the Brown and Walkers train, and of
whom the frantic appeal is an organ,
is clearly marked and thorough. In
itself it is promising crack in the
solidity of the South.--Detroit 7ri-

MIR. Holman, yelling on the floor
of the House from one end of the ses-
sion to another for economy, is an i'm
prsssive figure Mr.. Holman, in the
bowels of the Capitol, slyly Thanking

Already tho Turks have drawn
heavily on our shops for arms and am
munitien, and the Russian armies are
in great part armed with guns of Amer
lean manufacture. But the waste OF
war will give the tide of regular sup
plies an enormous force. The demand
for breadstuffs, preserved meat, whisk y
clothing, as well as the regular supply
of ammunitions, will fill the pockets
of our farmers with money and set our
mills and workshops in motion IN.
