clare the refusal to be arevolu-

a'emocrats reply that the act I'M

De appointed has been declared
constitutional, yet Congress has
clearly the right to make or
withhold appropriations for them
and thus expresses its opinion
that they ought or ought not to
be appointed. Unqnestfonal,ly
the Democrats are right in this,
and with equal certainty they are
right IN Withholding the money.
The only argument against
their course is that of Garfield
and the rest and that consists in
making faces and bringing up
the bloody shirt. If Mr.. Nc
Mahon and the rest have the
courage of their convictions they
will pass the bill as it now is,
providing payment for marshals
and general deputies, and omit

they probably VIII do, and that
will settle one vexed question.

the following account cf a very
singular incident:
Mary Vaughan, who has been
insane for twenty odd years, died
last Saturday at the residence Of
her brother, S. s.. Vaughan, in
this placer. The cause of her
death is rather q singular, cir
cumstance. She had been in her
usual health, which VAS good,
until last Thursday night, or
Friday morning, when she COM
Iplained Of being quite sick, suf-
fering severely with her stomach.
Soon after she was found to be
sick. Mrs. Vaughan discovered
that she had tern one. of her cal
leo dresses into pieces, tearing it
into very small pieces, Of which
only a small portion could be
found. When asked what she
had done with it, she replied that
she had eaten it. She said that
she felt sick on Thursday night
and thought that by eating hel
dress it would make feel better
She had previously been in the
habit Of tearing her clothing into
pieces, but had never before beer
known to eat them, except OF
one occasion, she tore up and ate
part Of her cotton stocking. DR.

bushwhackers cllming the fence TO take
position on the highway. Melrose calm
ly viewed their situation, and finally
said:
(" We will charge them Fall In be-
hind me and there will lie less danger.
Draw your sabre and strike hard ~
The other dared not try IL, though he
was brave man. He therefore kept
his place as the scout dashed forward.
Melrose rode straight at the men with
drawn sabre, and the volley they fired
went over him. He struck the line,
sabred a man as he passed, and soon re-
Joined the column. His companion was
never heard again, probably being MUIR
dered In cold blood.
In 1864 Melrose and three other fora
gers were captured in the Shenandoah
valley, taken to a small encampment,
and the four placed in a log house under
guard until their cases could be disposed
of. They talked the situation over, aud
the bravest of them could see no hope
of escape. Melrose quietly listened to
their discouraging remarks, and as qui-
etly replied that he wonld be inside of
the Union lines before midnight. There
was a circle of sentinels around the
building, which had no door. The SEN
tinels paced within six feet of the
building, and the one in front could see
the prisoners through the doorway.
Melrose said that If all would rush to-
gether the sentinels would be confused,
and either hold their fire or fire wild.
The three men had participated in more
than twenty battles, and were known as
brave fellows, but here they wanted
nerve, and nerve was what they hadn't
got.
"Very well-I will go alone ~ was
the quiet announcement, and as night
came on Melrose was ready. Standing
in the doorway, he asked the sentinel
what time 1t was.
"You git back thar, or I'll shoot i"
was the prompt reply.
" Yes-Pm going right back ~ said
the scout, and he dashed upon the man,
hit him stunning blow and made for
the woods. He had to run across an
open field in full sight of camp, and,
though it was dusk, he could be seen
quite plainly for half the distance.
More than fifty shots were fired at him,
and then pursuit began, but he reached
the woods and made his escape.

Must We Give up the Bird.

GEORGE w. PECK, in his Fourth of
" July grafton at La Crosse, said
1t has been noticed that thus far have
made no allusion TO the American eagle,
the national trade mark, patent applied
for, but it is not that do not appreciate
the position that species of poultry
occupies on these occasions. The poet
alluding to the eagle says:
Bird of the broad and fieeting wind,
Thy home is high in heaven.
This is too true He is high old
bird, and the committee that selected
the eagle as a national emblem should
have been arrested for disorderly con-
duct. o great bird You live on mice.
You soar aloft on pinions airy, until
you see poor little mouse with one leg
broke, and then you swoop down like a
ward constable and run him in. You
are nice old bird for trade mark, for
nation of heroes, you old coward. You
sit on rock and watch u peasant wom-
an hanging out clothes, and when she
goes in the house to turn the clothes
wringer you great bird, emblem of
freedom, you representative of the land
of the free and the home of the brave,
you swoop down ON the plantation and
crush your talons in the quiverihg flesh
of her little baby, take him to your
home high in heaven, and pick his In
nocent little eyes out. The bird that
should have been selected as the emblem
of our country, the bird of patience,
perseverance and the bird of terror when
aroused, is the mule. There is no bird
that combines more virtues to the square
foot than the mule. With the mule
emblazoned on our banners, we should
be terror to our foe. We are nation
of uncomplaining hard workers. We
mean to do the fair thing by everybody
We plod along doing as we would be
done by. So does the mule. We as q
nation are slow to anger. So is the
mule. AS a nation we occasionally
stick our ears forward and fan flies off
our forehead. So does the mule. But
when any nation sticks spurs into our
flanks and tickles our heels with straw
we come down stiff-legged in front, our
ears look to the beautiful beyond, our
voice Is cut loose, and Is still for war,
and our subsequent end plays the snare
drum on any thing that gets in reach of
us, and strikes terror to the hearts of all
tyrants. So does the mule.

all intoxicating drinks for their breth-
ern's sake, II not for their own ;--if
they did not make this cheap and bene-
flclal sacrifice, yet at least, In order that
the next generation may be partially
delivered from that which is the bitter
curse of this, they would train up their
children, when any fermented liquor is
set before them, to say with the children
of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, "We
drink 1t not, for our father commanded
us, saying, Drink 1t not" Oh, what
a generation would that be, how healthy,
how wealthy, how clear of intellect,
how strong of arm, how fertile In re-
sources, how rich in hope, to which
drink would be unknown.

A Brave Trooper.

A DETROIT paper, talking of " nerve,"
n recalls among two or three cases
that of Jno. Melrose, a trooper in the
Sixth Michigan cavalry. He was an
under-seized, quiet-looking man, and he
had that wonderful nerve which not
three other men in the whole brigade
possessed. While acting as scout in
the Shenandoah valley he was one day
eating dinner at farm house, when in
walken seven Confederate soldiers. They
knew him for a Union scout, and he
knew them for Confederates. A brave
man would have made a rush or had a
fight. Melrose simply looked up as
they filed in, smiled over his fix, and
called out:
Say, old woman, put on more din
ner here, and we'll all have square
meal together"
You are my prisoner ~ said the SER
geant of the squad as he advanced.
Yes, L know it, but I'll pay for a
dinner for you and your men just the
same Sit right down and make your
selves at home"
His nerve upset the soldiers, and after
moment they took seats at the table,
forming complete circle around the
board. AS soon as they began to eat he
began TO think of escape. 1t was sum-
mer, and the window behind him and
ten feet away was open. If he stood up
all eyes would be fixed on him, and any
excuse to leave the room was not to be
thought of.
The meal was about half finished, and
captors and captive were chatting away
when Melrose suddenly flung himself
backward, upset his chair, and bounded
through the window. The soldiers ran
out and fired at and pursued him, but
he made good his escape.
In the Luray valley, just before the
affair known as Woodstock races, Mel
rose and his companion fell out of ranks
to forage. After securing a supply of
meat they pushed on after the column,
and were riding at a gallop when five
bushwhackers, well mounted, came out
of the cross-road about twenty rods
ahead of them.
. We are dead men," said the scouts
companion as they came to halt.
Looking back, they saw four more

Grateful Women.

None receive so much benefit, and
none are SO profoundly grateful and
show such an interest in recommending
Hop Bitters as women. 1t is the only
remedy peculiarly adopted to the many
ills the sex is almost universally subject
to. Chills and fever, indignation or de-
ranged liver. Constant or periodical
sick headaches, weakness in the back or
kidney, pain in the shoulders and differ
ent parts of the body, feeling of las
situde and despondency, are all readily
remov ed by these Bitters. IA 1t
