A letter recently appeared in the AL
bany Argus, written by a leading demos
GRAFT, which gives the following solution OF
the recent defeat Of the democratic party:
"Q.) Our fanatical crusade against
the federal election, laws and federal laws
permitting the presence of troops at the
polls. (2.) Our failure to espouse with
earnestness the cause of the southern
laborers. Tt is notorious that their politi-
cal rights are outraged and their political
weight neutralized by violence and fraud
in some of the states. 81 Our low tone Of
sediment in regard to the supreme author,
ity of the constitution. We hesitated to
recognize the sovereignty of the United
States within their constitutional sphere.
AZ Our apparent connivance at southern
sectionalism. This species OF sectionalism
is an evident and portentous reality. TO-
Our abject and stupid seryitude to party
usages. (e.) Our unhallowed alliance
with the financial folly and political heresy
of greenbackism. (7.) Our dastardly
treachery to the canse Of civil service re,
form. s
Here are seven distinct indictments of the
democratic party, coming from one who
! is himself a. democrat and probably. did
what he could to help the party at the last
election. They come in the form of con-
fessions, every one of which is true. This
democratic confessor has not slandered his
party, but simply stated the facts. It is
not at all surprising that the people should
have rejected party so heavily freighted
with political iniquities and heresies. Its
alliance with greenbackism was enough to
secure its defeat. Its relation to the VIC
lence, political prescription, and election
frauds practiced in the southern states is
of itself enough to blast its claims to the
support of voters who believein fair play
and equal rights. The campaign on the
part of the democrats, was largely QUE Of
| simple SANDER, and if was closed, to the
disgust of all decent people, by the infam-
Gus Morey letter, which even democrats
now admit to be gross forgery, The
party deserved the rebuke it has received.

A Holstein peasant, uninstructedc in
microscopical research, and not possessing
the requisite instruments of precision, has
devised for himself new test for the
presence of trichin@ in pork. When he
killed pig he was careful to send a por-
tlon Of tia ham Or sausage-to his
pastor, and then waited the consequences
lof fourteen days. If his pastor remained
nea5hy, then he felt perfectly easy in his
a1,na, and well assured that his pig full
niled the requisite conditions of sound
ness OF 1ooo, proceeded to dispose of it &C.
cordlngly In his own family. This ingen-
lous method of research has not been con-
sidered satisfactory by the district physi-
cian.- British Medical ournal.

James Watson Webbs Reminiscen-
ces of Aaron Burr.

To correspondent of the Indianapolis
Journal, who called on him recently, James
Watson Webb gave some interesting
"reminiscences of Aaron Burr: 81 knew
him." said Webb Gle was brave soldier
in the revolutionary war. He succeeded
nv father as aide on General Putnam's
staff after he battle of Bunker Hill. Burr
was a selfish scoundrel. l met hum often
during his last years. He used to urge
M atthew L. Davis to write his burr 81
life, but he added only on one condition
you know what that isl Davis turned
to me and explained that Burr wouldn't
permit his life to be written unless the
biographer would agree to tell The truth
about Washington, by which Burr meant
abuse him and deny him any great quail
ties, either as man, soldier or states
man.. Davis would never consent to this.
4 won't do it, he ssaid to Burr in my
presence. 'Then you shan't write my
life!' responded Burr. The fact is, Burr
appoint him minister to France in 1895,
when his party in the senate unanimously
recommend him for the distinguished
brilliant New Yorker, whose various quail

the feeling was naturally reciprocal.
During the last year of his life, when he
was eighty-one, Burr withdrew the condi-
ton, but then he could not talk much,
and Davis materials were too meagre.
Send for Webb and Verplank,' said Burr.
We went to his bedside. You two write
out all the questions you can think Of
about my life,' said Burr, and then come
here and read them and will answer
them.' We did SO, and the answers formed
the basis of Davis biography-which
was very partial, like Parton's, and not
half true. .
"One day the doctor told Burr he would
not live till morning. Burr turned his
eyes toward us and said: He's an intern
al old fool Open that bureau drawer.
1t was sopened. DO you see letter son
that box? Verplank took up the dainty
missive. 1T is from lady, said the
dying gallant, saud she says she will call
on me tomorrow. Anybody who thinks
will die with such an appointment as that
on hand doesn't know Colonel BurrP T"
''How did Burr get living at the last?'
asked.
He was supported by friends for years
He pretended to practice law, but he
never practiced much. He had nonsense
of honor in money matters. He woulc
borrow fifty dollars on one corner anG
distribute it to anybody who wanted 1t or
the next corner"

Henry was asked, How many boys
are there in your clasp He said: tIf
yon multiply the number Of Jacobs sons
by the number of times which the Israel
ties compassed Jericho and add to the
product the number of measures of bailey
which Boaz gave Ruth, divide this by the
number of Humans sons, subtract the
number of each kind of clean beasts that
went into the ark, multiply by the number
of men that went to seek Elijah after he
was taken to heaven; subtract from this
Joseph's age at the time he stood before
Pharaoh, add the number of stones it
David's bag when he killed Goliath, SUBJ
tract the number of furlongs that Bethany
was distant from jerusalem, divide by the
number of lanchors cast out when Paul
was shipwrecked, subtract the number of
persons saved in the ark; end the remain.

The meeting of the Dairymen's Board
of trade at the Chardon House, on Satur-
day last, as we learn by the published
report, was fairly well attended. several
new members were received. The Sec
retary writes. s'Judge Smith made some
practical and suggestive remarks on the
necessity of an organization for the pro-
lection of the interests of the daIrymen,
and the advantages that will result to
them if the Board is a success. The Sec
retary stated that he had received let
ter from party at Atlanta, Georgia, who
had read of the organization OF the Board
and who desired to make arrangements
for the purchase of 300 lbs. OF butter each
week during the season. After the trans
action of business tending to the more
perfect working of the Board, there was
an exchange of views. This will be an
important feature of the meetings, and
thus the members will profit by the eX-
perience and advice of each other. Ar
latest market reports from various parts
of the County previous to each meeting.
One great obj jectiOn of the Board is to Sc
cure to it's members the same knowledge
OF the markets as is possessed by the
buyers. When this is done the selling of
cheese will not be mere guess work, as is
now largely the case. The next meeting
of the Board will be held on Saturday,
May 18th. Once more we urge upon the
factory and dairymen the Importance of
attending the meetings OF the Board, and
earnestly laboring to make it a success
with hearty cooperation on the part OF
all concerned, we fully believe the Board
will prove of great benefit to the dairy in :
