The Old Subscriber.

He came wearily up the sanctum steps
yesterday afternoon, and turning up the
waste basket upside down sat down upon
it with sigh that might have been cut
into tOrnadOes and whirlwinds enough
to go around half dozen agricultural
cOunties.-He had a weary look about
him, as though he had been trying to die
and couldn't find doctor. His coat was
ragged and patched here and there with
prosperous and elannish community of
cookie burs. His boots, water proof
variety, were so arranged that if you
stuck them in the river the water would
run out faster than it would run in. We
asked how he Jared, and he glanced
savagely at Kansas paper among our
exchanges, before he answered sadly:
well, pretty miserably, thank ye. Ye
see, times come in pretty hard. and it
was pretty hard slidn' to get along. l
either just had to sell the six dogs, or
cut down the expenses in some way, and
so stopped the paper. i missed it pow
erfully bad the first few weeks, then /
kind O. got used to it. Borrowed it once
an while here and there, but folks
didn't apper to want to lend their papers,
and so / finally lost sightOf it altogether.
Then trouble begun right on. The first
thing | knew was arrested and fined
twenty dollars for violating the game
law.-YOp see the thing had changed a
little and / didn't know nothing about
it, but the judge said as how ignorance
wasn't no excuse in these days when the
State was 50 full Of papers that you
couldn't fire stone out window with
out hittin' an editor. Then in a week |
was arrested and fined twenty dollars
for violating the fishery law, and when
begged and said didn't know nothing
about it, the judge asked me where was
raised, and remitted me two dollars of
the fine for me to take the paper with.
But kinder thO't / couldn't get in any
more scrapes and / sOrter hung on to the
two dollars. In about three DAYS after,
| was took up again and fined four dol
lars and costs for hunting on Sunday
an hope | may die il knew it was
Sunday, an l had to sell the gun to get
out Of the jug. Then a fellow came
along and bought every grain of corn /
had in the crib for six cents less than /
found next day it was worth in the
market; then lost two of the best COWS
you ever saw, and they was took and
advertised, and all the time was huntin'
all over the whole country for 'em, and
when l found 'em at last the costs was
morn the cows was worth. The taxes
came due, an didn't know it, an the
farm was sold, an l had big costs to pay
before knowed a word about it, and
every week since stopped the paper I've
paid out more money to keep out Of
trouble than would keep me in news
paper all my days. Put my name on the

Beautiful Angels Of Dreamland.
BY OLA REED M'CHRIsTIR,

Beautiful angels of dreamlandi
That fit by my side in the night,
Soothing to rest by your visions
And filling my heart with delight;
Calling with magical sweetness,
In accents of melody rare,
Dreams of my far-away loved ones
And banishing sorrow and care.
Beautiful angels of dreamland!
Oh, sweet is your mission below;
From the pert, spoiled child of fashion
To the felOn's cell you go,
Teaching the one to be lOwly
And strive for spirit of love;
Teaching the other to humbly
Pray for home above.
Beautiful angels of dreamlandi
Where is your home in the day?
When the clear morning is dawning
Where do you swiftly stray?
With the gentle dew of heaven
You alight when evening comes,
And then with it in the morning
You soar again to your homes.

IncondiiionaI Surrender.

The back-down of the Democrats in re-
spect to two of the bills which they as
serted their determination to insist upon
''to the bitter end" is now complete.
They have passed the Legislative Ap-
preparation bill without any of the po-
litical conditions originally demanded so
stubbornly as to render necessary an ex-
ira session and a subsequent veto. In
fact, the bill was put into such shape
that no Republican voted against it, and
the twenty-five negative votes were
all cast by "last ditch" Democrats. 1t
will be- understood by the country that
this unconditional surrender by the ma
jOrity of the Democrats was not more
meritorious than that of the rebels at
Fort Donelson. The "last ditch" leaders
were those who originally controlled the
Democratic caucus, caused the extra ses-
sion and committed the party to the
plan of coercing the Executive or stop
ping the wheels of Government. Then
the extremists had large majority OF
the Democrats with them, and the entire
party consented to be ruled by the eau
Gus. But the successive vetoes, coming
like solid shot from the White House,
and the strong expression of popular in
dignatiOn, finally drove portion of the
Democrats to mutiny against the rule of
the caucus. 1t became certain that their
votes would be cast against its revolu-
tionary programme, and in sufficient
number, with the Republican votes, to
insure the passage of proper appropria-
tion bills. Then the majority made a
virtue of necessity. 1t resolved to back
down, and sent committee to explore

The Crushed Seremader.

Young Bilkins went to serenade his
girl on Van Ness avenue. The amateur
orchestra, of which he was q member,
had hardly squelched out the first two
bars of "COme Where My Love lies
Dreaming" when the second story win
dow went up and old Boggs, Amelia's
father, stuck his head out and remark
ed:
as there no way of compromising this
thing?"
"What-w-what? gasped young
Bilkins.
Il say, can't. we make some arrange
ment to get out of this matter. How

"Why-this-this Is serenade," ex-
claimed Bilking.
Exactly; so / see. Now, Suppose
were to stand the beer and car-fare all
round, wouldn't you go out in the sub
urbs somewhere and work of the rest OF
it in front of some deaf and dumb asy-
lum or other?"
"Well, I'm blowedr calculated the
crushed lover.

Boggs, "hung on to that big trombone"

fed Bilkins, and the disguised band
walked sadly on. scornfully ignoring
Boggs' parting injunctions to reform
and lead better lives after the thing

the ground, and to discover some path
by which the party could crawl out. The
Legislative bill, as it was passed by the
House. was one product of this explora-
ton; and the fact that all the Republi-
cans voted for it, while twenty-five
Democrats voted against it, is proof that
the cOercive add revolutionary plan has,
in that particular, been completely de
feated
The proceedings as to the Army bill
were still more discreditable to the
Democrats. The bill originally passed,
as the Presidents veto showed, was in
tended to deprive the Government of all
power to employ its military force in
enforcing its election laws, or in sus-
tanning its officials in the prevention of
fraud or violence at the polls. This was
the measure which the Democratic eau
Gus solemnly resolved to insist upon as a
condition of the further support of the
Army. When the majority found that
it could not hold itself together in the
attempt to coerce the Executive, the
committee of exploration framed bill
which merely prohibits the use of troops
"as police at the polls" Inasmuch as
no Republican of any sort or shade has
ever desired to have single soldier en-
plOyed in that way, the bill was satisfac-
tory to the Republicans of the House,
and they moved to pass it Immediately
But the measure does not seem to be
equally satisfactory to the Democrats,
though they did not dare to permit a
direct vote upon it without further la
boring with the stubborn brethren. Ac-
cordingly, nearly all the Democrats voted
to adjourn, while every Republican ex-
cept two voted in favor of immediate
action upon the bill.
In the end, the Army bill will also
pass without any feature of a coersive
character. Then there will remain only
the appropriations for judicial expenses,
which the committee of exploration has
embodied III separate bill with pro-
visions designed to prevent the employ
ment of supervisors and the enforce
ment of the election laws, which bill the
House passed. The votes in the House
show the majority deliberately intend to
refuse an appropriation required by laws
still unrepealed. If the Senate persists
in this refusal, the President will have
good reason for sending the bill back
for correction. In the end it will be dis
covered whether members of Congress
have any right to disobey laws which
they cannot repeal. The majority has
heard enough of public opinion to be-
come sick of the coercive and revolu-
tionary policy to which it originally re-
sorted, but it ought to be held to the
rack until its abandonment of that
course is complete and unequivecal.-N.

Mr.. Foster made neat point on the
Democrats in his serenade speech at Co
lumbus few days ago. Speaking Of
the hailabaloo in the Democratic Con-
yention over the one negro delegate, he
said: Zone thing that our Democratic
friends for many years abhorred above
all others was the niggers. Why, when
we undertook to put the colored man in
the field and make soldier Of him, our
Democratic friends said: That won't ila.
Our white soldiers won't stand 1t, and
besides that he smells 80 badly he viii
never make soldier What woa-
drous difference, what a wOndrous ef-
feet it has upon the smell of the eolorei
man to have his vote for the Democrat
ic ticket. 1t puriies at once"

know, had to be killed because he insist

A WRITER in the Cincinnati Enquir-
er who signs himself Republican Sol

had with several other Republican SOL
diers, and the conclusion is that they
will all vote for Ewing and Rice. Now,
it is as clear as the MONDAY sun that
this fellow is fraud. Republican SOL
diers! Bah! There are no such men,
and never were. All of the Union SOL
diers were Democrats. Jim Steedman
says so; and isn't he man of truth :?
A million of Democrats wore the Union
blue. General Ewing says SO; and will
any man dare assert that Ewing can tell
a lie? Can any Democrat tell lie?
And was not Ewing born Democrat,
and have not all of his ancestors been
Democrats for several centuries 20. S.

About "The Dunkards.,

N. Y. Tribune.
During last week the Dunkards, or as
they now call themselves, German
Baptists, held their national annual con-
ference, choosing, very wisely in this hot
weather, the beautiful valley of the She
nandOah, in which to meet. Rocking
ham County, Va, is just now fair as
the garden of the Lord, with rich wheat
fields, fruit orchards and country lanes
white and rosy with dOgwood and sweet
brier. The Dunkards have settled on
farms or built their quiet villages all
through this fertile valley, stretching up
and down, choosing .shrewdly the rich
bottOm-lands which lie between the Al
leghanies of Pennsylvania, Maryland
and East Tennessee. Wherever they go
they carry thrift, peace and plenty with
them. They are usually skilful farmers
and dairymen, are as close and honest in
dealing as the Quakers, refuse like them
to fight or take an oath, and wear, also, a
dress given up by the rest of the world 4
century ago. The men, with their pa
triarchal boards, buttOnless coats, and
wide-rimmed hats, and the women in
their prim chocOlate-eolored gowns with
dainty white lawn caps and crossed neck
handkerchiefs, are picturesque feature
of the mountains in West Virginia and
Maryland.
This quaint, ancient sect has increased
slowly but steadily in numbers and
wealth during the last few years. The
attendance at the conference last week
was reckoned at nine thousand. The
leading preachers of the denomination
were present. Temporary houses were
erected, and the whole affair took the
semblance of gigantic devotional pic
mic or camp-meeting, though the staid
gravity of the worshippers made it more
sober and reverent than the ordinary
camp-meeting usually is. In one mark
ed respect these German Baptists differ
from other sects. Their clergymen re-
ceive no salaries, supporting themselves,
like st. Paul, by the labor of their own
hands. The gospel is with them free
gift. The religious body known in Mary
land and the West as the Omish is a
branch of this church, differing but in
trivial matters from the parent stem.
Like the Dunkards, they are a peaeeable,
hardworking, God-fearing people.
