JONAS SPEECH.
The men who brought
on the war have re-
tired from public life,
and the actors of to-
day are young men
born either during or
since the war, and
could not have par
ticipated in the re-
bellion. 1T has been
also charged that there
were rebel brigadiers
in Congress who adj
vocated secession and
disloyalty, but | affirm
that no man in Con-
gress to- day was a
leader or actor at this
tune, for many of them
were boys or IL OF 20

NOW GEN. HANCOCK LEADS THE REBEL
against the very men who fought them
by his side. Applause. He is now
supporting and maintaining the very
principles against which he fought.
Why, sir, Wade Hampton tells you that
they down south are fighting for the very
principles for which Lee and Jackson
fought. Applause. And yet he is
going for Hancock. Therefore Hancock
must be fighting for the very principles
for which Lee and Jackson fought.
Applause. All, my count1ymen,

Hancock marches. [ don't like the
company he keeps. He may be like
poor dog Tray, caught in bad company,

The Democratic party in olden times
was patriotic party, but it has support

country would go to dissolution and de-
cay, now the Democratic party is the
party of the solid south and the purlieus

Now let me try and draw
THE LINE OF DEMARCATION
between the great political organizations.
I told you I would divide the line be-
tween these parties, and Judge them by
what they have done. What has the
Democratic party done in the last twenty
years that should induce any man to
vote for them; what measures has it pro-
posed? When the war broke out the
Democratic party-the south, which was
the head and body of the dog which went
into the rebellion-waged war against
the country. What did the Democratic
party do during the war that induces you
to attach yourself to it? Although
thousands of patriotic Democrats en-
tered into the war; fought nobly and did
their duty calamity, and God forbid that
I should take laurel from their brow.
yet in 1868 in Ohio they nominated as
candidate for governor Clement l.. Val
landigham, man who endeavored to
disturb and cause a civil war in that
state. They supported the Knights of
the Golden Circle in Indiana, and but for

ceeded in preparing of burnt paper a

two hundred years ago in Courland

quite stir among the learned. The
first, however, found its explanation
and solution in paper that storm had
taken from wrecked ship; the other
in remnants of burnt bank-notes. That
Mahommed had not the slightest pre-
sentiment Of the immense quantity of

and wastes, is clearly shown by the law
he laid down in his Koran, obliging the
orthodox Turk to pick up even the
smaller pieces of paper, for the name
of Allah might be written upon
it. A German proverb says: "Paper
is full of patience"--and it is indeed a.
very pliable and flexible and patient
subject in the great empire of industry
and fashion.

Welded LOHe...A True Incident.

"Make the bed easy, Mr.. b." said
old Uncle Abe to the undertaken, who,
was preparing the coffin for his aged
wife. "Make the bed soft and easy,
for her old bones are tender and soft,
and a hard bed will hurt them" He.
forgot for q moment-that old, gray
haired man-that she was dead; that,
the old bones had done aching forever.
Sixty-four years had she walked by his
side, true and loving wife. Sixty-four
years! just think of it in this age of
divorce. Sixty-four years had they
dwelt under the same sorrows of life;
together mourned over the coffin of
their first born; together rejoiced in
the prosperity of their sons and daugh-
ters, and now she has left him alone.
No wonder he forgot. Her loving
hands had so long cared for him, for
he had been the feebler of the two.
Until death do us part" said the
marriage service that had united them
so many years ago. Death had parted
them, but the love still survived. Ten
derly had he cared for her all these
years, and now tenderly did he watch
the making of the last bed of this still
loved wife. He had bravely breasted
the storm of life with her by his side,
but now that she was gone he could not
live, and in few days they laid him by
her side.-Ne1O Orleans PicayN3ae.

The Armenian proverb says: Only
he who can read belongs to the human
race. If this would be true, what kind
of human beings must there have been
several thousand years ago; in what
miserable condition must the human
race have been, especially when we
consider the means and vehicles Of
which it then could dispose. For stone
and wax tablets, Runic wands and
leaves very naturally excluded every
possibility of a general use and knowi-
edge of written characters. We do not
agree, however, with the Armenian
saying, but must acknowledge that,
with such means at disposal, the prog
ress of the human race in the ability
of reading and writing must neoessari-
ly have been a very slow one. If the
time Of whole century was required
to advance from the prints on yellow
ish blotting paper, to the highly fur
nished products of the printing press
of to-day, how extended must have
