SA"NihuaNA NVuueitlhlsl
This country has had enough of
civil war. 1t does not want any more,
and it will not have it. 1t is folly to
talk of resorting to arms in case CON
gress should, under the forms of law,
decide that the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency had been elected.
1t is hoped the majority OF one or the
other of the candidates will be so
large that no question as to the legal.
ity Of his election can arise. But if
it should be questioned, congress will
have to decide the matter, as the
laws now stand, and it is wild and
wicked to talk of a resort to war to
upset the decision. If the decision
shall be wrong, it can be peacefully
righted il four years.

Almost everybody knows of the honr but

wheat yielded either much less in quality,
or else so much of the bran got into the tiour
in its manufacture that It's color was mtoier-
ably dark The wheat wonl,i be ground an1

this would sell more particularly for food for
horses Now the best Of fiour, and the most
expensive, Is made of this very refuse ol the
oId-fashioned process. 1t all came ont of
the discover, OF way to draw ont the bran
Under the new process the wheat Is ground
about as before The first result IS an ordl-
nary -four sold for expectation. Then the
remainder Is taken and put upon great hurl-

The result of the discovery OF he process
has been to make the poor spring wheat OF

valuable kind Of gram, and to make the for

IN Ihere was splendid castle in Spain.

And the builders mark that the castle bora
was eighteen-eighty set over the door.
The park was adorned with stalwart trees
WITH tops that waved in the popular breeze
Ana many confederate brigadiers
From spreading limbs were hanging in tiers
The steps were formed of tie bones Of the slain
dug up for the purpose by James G.. Blaine
Ine gate which opened and shut at his will.
Was the gate of the prison at Andersonville
ihe curtains were made Of gauzy tissue,
Now known as the Latest Southern Issue.
And the tapestried walls displayed with skill
Inc aoieSt work of the Outrage Mill
\ terrible banner of cardinal hue
Replaced the flag Of the red. white and blue.
The walls Were cemented with sectional hate
And the biggest room hid Chair of STATE.
But although the castle grew arain.

A Skeleton, some were heard Ia saw.
In secret closet was hid away.
The skeletons bones were made OF stock.
And it bore the brand of Little Rock.
And though 1t was carefully hound with fetters.
1t held III its hand the Mulligan Letters.
Now, many would never wonder "a al
If that airy castle should fade OF fall
In the sun and storm Of the next campaign.
To the great disgust of James G. Blame.
