fall of 1914, to Mantua, when the
township was almost an unbroken

spent with her son in Cleveland, where
che was the recipient OF all the care

rendered with that cheerfulness,
which is prompted by filial love aud
affection. Her activity and industry,
her fortitude and patience in enduring
privations, her honesty of purpose and
purity of heart, and her exemplary
christian character will long be remem-
bered by those whs knew her in the
of life.
She retained an uncommon activity

Mantua Station became the center of
attraction during couple of days of
last week. All the world had been
invited to come and compete for pre-
miums with the Stationites, in the ex-
hibition of eminent roosters, demure
pullets and chickens of every degree,
together with ancient turkeys, fancy
geese and ducks and pigeons, and pet
stool, of every description. Accord
lngly, from everydirection, the coops
and cages could be seen, converging
towards Folger's Block, until like
Noah's Ark it was filled with birds
and beasts, whose horrid notes and
unearthly cries, soon made the place

confounded" reigned supreme. Three
rooms were crowded with cages ;more
than $50 in all; and their occupants
seemed to take special delight in ex-
pressing their joy and satisfaction at
such congress as was then and there
assembled. Amid the din and confu-
sion of such ajargon of sounds, could
be heard the loud and earnest voices
of poultry fsncier's from far and near,
extolling the merits of their favorite
birds, weighing and comparing, critic
ally noting all spots, specks and Jaws,
tracing pedigrees and determining
strains of blood, with as much care
and serious deliberation, as if the fate
Of an empire depended upon the de-
cision reached, in the case of that par

The law existing at the time of the
making of contract or agreement al.
ways forms part of such contract ,un-
less expressly excluded by the parties.
When our present National debt, as
well as the obligations of states, mu-
inequalities, corporations and individ.
ual were created, silver was by law the
standard and measure of value, and
greenbacks were lawful tender; but
at the demand of the public creditor
the faith of the government to the
debtors was utterly dissegarded and
by the act of its reputation the peo-
pie were robbed Of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars that the amount might
be transferred to the Golfers of the
coupon-cutters. According to the
doctrine of the bullionists there is no
obligation to keep sacred the faith of
the GoverRm ent to the debtor classes.

is seriously threatened by Secretary
Evarts, who alleges it is almost USE
less to send any more appointments
to the Senate for confirmation, since
the late conduct Of the Senate in re-
gard to the New York appointments,
as the Senate has thereby refused to
confirm any but the those whom the
extreme radicals choose to dictate.
Mr.. Evarts, in conversation with us,
however toned down only slightly
the above by saying, that where there
was urgent necessity of an officer he
might make an appointment, but the
Cabinet had pretty generally reached
conclusion to make no more nomina-
tions. Should this conclusion prevail
it will play hobbs with a good MANY

The discussion in the House over
our Mexican border troubles indicated
very emphatically that the war spirit
in that body is at very low ebb at
present, every disposition being dis
played to create no useless popular
alarm. While the ideas advanced
from both sides OF the House, was
mild and peaceful, still there was no
feeling evidenced to refuse the people

why should it not be? lis views up
