THE SAME CANTEEN.

StAuAE O<AN
There are bonds Of all sorts in this world of
ours,
Fetters of friendship and tics of flowers,
And true-lover's knots l ween;
The girl and the boy are bound by a kiss.
But there's never a bond, old friend, like
We have drunk from the same canteen!
1t was sometimes water and sometimes milk,
And sometimes apple,jack as fine as silk,
But whatever the tipple has been,
We shared it together. in bane or bliss,
And warm to you, friend, when l think of
this
We have drunk from the same canteen.
The rich and the great sit down to dine,
And they quaff to each other in sparkling
vine,
From glasses of crystal aad green;
But guess IN their golden potations they
miss
The warmth Of regard to be found in this
We have drunk from tho same canteen.
We have shared our blankets and tent to-
gether,
And have marched and fought in all kinds
OF weather,
And hungry and full we have been;
Had days of battle and days of rest,
But this memory l cling to and love the
We have drunk from the same caItecG
For, when wounded lay on the outer slope,
With my blocd iiowiHg fast and but little
hope
Upon which my faint spirit could lcan
Oh, then, l remember, you crawled to my
side,
And, bleeding SO fast it seemed both must
have died,
We drank from The same cantcen.

A Stalwart Senator.
New York Times.

The epithet +" stalwart," which has
passed into the political jargon of the
day, best describes the character OF
Senator Chandler, whose death has
just now startled the Republic. What
ever distinguishes so-called
"stalwart" Republican distinguished
him. There never was time, since
the bi,th of the Republican party,
when he was not conspicuous as a
fierce hater of every form of oppres-
sion: an open and outspokeD foe Of
treason against the Republic, and a
champion of the measures which, in
his opinion, were designed to ex
tirpate the evils that were the last
vestiges of slavery and rebellion. 1t
was impossible THAT 1, public nan So
positive in character, and 50 intense
II his aversions, should escape
calumny and misrepresentation. The
portrait of Zachariah Chandler as
d,awu by his enemies, many of
which he had, would be gross carica-
ture. So unsparing IL critic, SO good
Il hater, aud SO formidable an
antagonist as Senator Chandler was,
must needs have aroused bitter
animosities which survive him, In
deed, it may ''e truly said Of Senator
Chandler that his integrity was with
out flaw. During long and busy
public ca,eer, in which he was
necessarily exposed to many tempta
tions, and enticed by the opportunities
which offer illgotten gains to public
men, his honesty has never been
impugned. Senator and Cabinet Min
lister during period when the acts OF
Government officers were subjected
to tercest scrutiny, not a
shadow of suspicion has ever
been breathed upon his per-
sonal honesty. Aud when he was un-
expectedly called to the head of de-
partment of the Government which in
times past had been prolific Of scan
dals, he disappointed his political ad
versaries by conducting an admins
tration Of affairs which was business.

reproach. Surely such life us thi:

of men. His successes were due tt
his great intellectual abilities, nn-
flinching courage, and unwaverine
hostility to every appearance Q
sham or deceit. He was useful t.
the Republic as stalwart champion
of justice to all men, and defende
of the integrity Of his country
Though some of his political metllod
may not have been the best an.
wisest, his large public services en-
title him to lasting honor. And whe:
the acerbities and heat Of the polite
Of this time shall have passed away
we do not doubt that the name Q
Zachariah Chandler will hold al
honorable place in American history

The Ha'rheye says "All that the
American navy needs is some boats.
1t has plenty of water.'' The Secre-
tary of the Navy certainly can not see
things in the Ha,rkeye light. He ended
the Mississippi river recruiting
service on the Wachuse.t because lie
could not make an eighteen feet draft
boat go over u seven foot sand bar.
This was demonstrated by actual ex-
pertinent, and it was fonrd there was
too much navy for the stage Of water.

'Tis told an Eastern monarch, great
From triumphs won, returned il state
Aud made IL grand parade;
And at her lattice'l window high,
To watch the gorgeous train pass by,
There sat a lovely maid.
Eager to see, she pressed the sash.
The slight frame broke with sudden crash
And tell into the street.
a splinter struck a gallant knight,
He upward glanced; there met his sight
The little maiden sweet.
She hlushed; he smiled; you know the rest
My tale you have already guessed,
The end OF course is plain.
The maid, confused, drew back from view
The knight passed on, amidst his crew.
They never met again.

LESSON OF SUBMISSION.
q pilgrim bound TO Mecca quite away his
sandals wore,
And on the deserts sand blistering his feet
grew very sore.
To let me suffer thus, great Allah is not
kind nor just,
While in his service confront the painful
heat and dust"
He murmured in complaining tone, and in
this temper came
To where around the Caaba pilgrims knelt
of every name,
And there he saw, while pity and remorse
his bosom beat,
A pilgrim who not only wanted shoes, but
also feet.

wish to explain my relation to and
connection with an anonymous sheet
that Is being circulated throughout this
Senatorial D.strict-denominat by
one writer Of the ENrERPRIsE signed X
as being devilish, diabolical and Demo-
cratic-by Mr.. Horr in his statement as
being an infamous sheet written by q
coward.
1 am not before the people for Office,
bu: am ready to meet all the acts OF
my life as a private citizen, and any
tests that may be called to pass through
shall attest whether am q coward or
not. That part of the circular called
the s'dairyman's dream" No. 2,
wrote, but with no intention of ever
having it published. l did read the
manuscript TO several parties.
1t was finally surreptitiously taken
from my desk and afterwards appeared
In print In connection with statement
of the Miner, Parker & Co. failure, and
has been widely circulated as a cam
paign document against Mr.. Horr. I
had nothing to do with the printing of
the dream or the statement. 1 have
voted the Republican ticket ever since
the party was organized-the "Gre-ley
stampede" not excepted-and II live
until next October, expect to vote the
Republican ticket again.

No man can be brave who considers
pain to be the greatest evil Of life; nor
temperate who considers pleasure to be
the highest good.
No man will excel in hjs profession If
he thinks himself above 1t; and COM

where commerce is not respected.
1t is the type of eternal truth, that
the souls armor is uever we'll set to the

A gentleman relating to his little
four-year-old son the Sad story of the
abduction of Charlie Ross, said, "Those
naughty men coaxed him to 60 with

haps, ice-cream; and then they carried
him off where he may never see his
poor papa and mamma again" The lit
tie fellow was silent and thoughtful for
q moment,-.hen looking up with sor-
rOwful expression, and In plaintive
tone, said, Sand papa, didn't they give
him any ice-cream?" On another oc-
casion, the little fellow hearing his
mamma say she must send for loaf of
bread, said, "why, msrau,a, I can GO"
''Oh no. my DEAR" she replied, "they
have so many kinda, you wouldn't
know which to get." s'why mamma! OF

licited 1t for publication. 1 knew also,
that the writer, Influenced by kindly

Fannie Davenport's black eye
Last summer Fannie Davenport brought
home from California, among other
trophies, very handsome century
plant. This rare exotic she attended
with all the lavish care she expends
upon all her numerous pets. One af-
ternoon, just before preparing for the
theatre. in the early part Of the present
season, she was watering her plant and
examining Its buds-for 1t had just be-
gun to put forth Its centennial blossoms
when by an accident her right eye
came In violent collision with it. The
blow was sudden and sharp, and the
luckless beauty had, within FIVE min
utea, to lament the possession of black
eye. Her file de chambre happened to
have applied once before, to bruise on
her arm, some of Giles Liniment To-
dide Ammonia, which is said to be .
specific for all such unsightly contu-
sions. The second application removed
the swelling and discoloration in halt
