A Satisfactory Explanation.

Strict discipline was maintained during
the time the soldiers from the interior were here
at Mardi Gras. A commissioned officer took
private soldier who could hardly stand severely TO
task for being intoxicated but the latter denied
the allegation.

How False and Yet How Fair ~

1t is marvellous to contemplate the
changes that time and circumstance work
in the spirit and conduct of men, and
especially of Democrats. Four short
months ago the Morey letter, a base
forgery, appeared, and was indorsed by
every Democratic journal in the land as
genuine, and by none more zealously
than by the Democratic organ at the Ma
tional Capital. Then General Garfield
was the candidate of his party for the
presidency, and then he was as vile as
epithet and denunciation could make
him. There was no measure to the ac-
cusations, traductions, and calumnies that
were heaped upon him to smirch his
name and blacken his character as
man and statesman The changes
were rung Oh all the various calumnies

a Glass Dress.

The ladies will be interested In the
news that glass dress is being made for Fanny
Davenport in Pittsburg 1t will be full toilet
evening suit, and the process Of making is such as
to give the work the appearance of fine French
satin, only that it is much more brilliant. The
dress will have long train of woven glass, and it
will be elaborately trimmed with glass lace. To
make what is called the glass cloth, from which
this suit will be made, the glass is first spun into
fine threads and then woven. There is nothing to
compare with the progress of this age.

Last Tuesday the man who fired the
first shot at the first battle of Bull Run died at
Estellville, Scott County, Va. This was Captain
then Lieutenant-George S. Davidson, who at the
battle was an officer of Lathams (confederate)
Battery. Last Wednesday the man who with his
own hand pulled the lanyard of the gun which
sent the first shot whizzing into the confederate
ranks that day died of his own act at Presidio.

unhappy end has so puzzled and shocked his host

But thousand temptations beset me;
And I've thought as the dear little rubies you
raised,
How delicious twould be if you'd let me-
Then be not so angry for what have done,
Nor say that you have sworn TO forget me;
They were buds of temptation too p0uting TO shun
And thought that you could hot but let me.
When your lips with whisper came close to my
cheek,
oh! think how bewitching they met me;
And, plain as the eyes of Venus could speak,
Your eyes seemed to say you would let fne.

ad Rbit,aa. Now how everything is
changed. The people declared General
Garfield President, and but trife over
two weeks ago they inaugurated him as
their Chief Magistrate. and now his ira
ducers begin to sound the low notes of a
hymn of praise to his many excellencies
and virtues. One might be led to think,
if there was no record to the contrary,
that the Democrats had been stalwart
supporters of General Garfield for the
presidency. The journals and people on
that side now bow low before him, and
have understanding phrases, bordering
upon praise, for his name when he is en-
tering upon the threshold of power.
Why this syren song? This is the
same James A. Garfield who ran for the
presidency and was reviled by these
would-be sycophants of the hour during
that campaign as man has never been
before in eighteen centuries? What is
the meaning, then, of this sudden change
of tune? Garfield is unchanged. If he
was vile when candidate he is vile still.
He has undergone no political or moral
regeneration known to history since he
was declared the popular choice for Presi-
dent. Is not this dawning era of Demo-
cratic adulation the frank confession on
their part that they have been, during
the past six months, the most shameless
| and abandoned of calumniators? If their
| fiattery is sincere now they substantially
admit that they were the most men
dacious of all men when they opened the
| fiood-gates of traduction upon him as a
candidate
What is the purpose of this fresh hymn
ingof the praises of the President by DEM
ocratic lips? Do they scent the viands of
patronage, and approach the Republican
feasting chamber with songs of praise in
the hope of sharing some of the crumbs
that may fall from the Republican board ?
If so, the President cannot be captured
in that way, nor will he waste the patron
age of his administration to reward such
hollow sycophancy, and these gentle sere-
naders, with theirhypocriticalm ministrelsy,
may as well pass on, for there are no Re-
publican pennies to jingle in their greasy
caps. They are wasting both their music
and their fragrance. They should move
right on.

The Bonapartist Empire in Colombia.
A dispatch from Panama to the New

A dispatch from Panama to the New
York World, dated March s. says:
| On March 4 an attack was made on one of the
engineers ofthe canal company, Mr.. Wander Putte.
at Paradise by four armed men Of different nation
alities but it was frustrated by some Jamaica men,
who were badly hurt in the melee. Mr.. Wander
| Putte was supposed to have large sum of money
| in his possession One of the robbers was cap
| tured. This is not the only case in which en-
ployees of the canal company have been seriously
| menaced. few days ago a large party of men
| went from Aspinwall to Empire, and surrounding
the dwellings of the employees used threats and
| Intimidation and were only restrained from open
violence by the determined attitude of the gentle
men in charge of the section.
Before the arrival of NJ. de Lesseps
party on the Isthmus, some two months
ago, there was no Empire" known on
that part of the globe. The French are
proverbial for their bons mots. The canal
adventures, all Bonapartists, were broken
down and impecunious until NJ. de Les
seps filled their pockets with his scheme,
which only few persons in this country
fully comprehend.
These enterprising chepaliers have, it
seems, already founded an empire on
the Isthmus of Panama Will it be sup
ported by the French Republic? Will it
be protected by French soldiers against
earned men of different nationalities,"
who seem to think they have claim on
the supposed "plunder that NJ. de Lesseps
has secured in France and sent to found
an 'empire p" Surely it should be pro-
tected against marauders; and it is hoped
its seat is sufficiently high up on the hills
not to be washed into the sea by
the seething floods of the Chagres
before the arrival of NJ. de Lesseps,
which it is announced will be
in the coming June. Will all the Bona
partists flock thither in detachments and
build up an empire such as Napoleon
Ill dreamed of Establishing in Nicaragua
when imprisoned in the fortress of Ham,
after his essay in France, supported by
an eagle that could not be made to soar? ?
Will Mr.. Thompson inform the public
whether this new empire" has been
established with his knowledge and con-
sent? This word empire" is intended
by NJ. de Lesseps to mean more than
might be supposed. Supported by Mr..
Thompson, whose presumed position in
this country enabled him to obtain money
from the ignorant people in France,
armed with the blessing of the Pope, NJ.
de Lesseps now proposes to lay the cor
ner-stone of an empire on the Isthmus of
Panama!

Ben Hill on the Old Dominion's No
bIest and Greatest.

Ben Hill, in his recent magniloQuent
display in the Senate, exclaimed:
81 say to the Senator from Virginia [Mahone
that neither Jefferson nor Madison nor Henry nor
Washington nor LEIGH nor Tucker nor any of
the long list of great men that Virginia has pro-
dueed, ever accepted a commission to represent
one party and came here and represented another"
Historical truth is not one of the COM
manding attributes of the grandiloquent
Georgian.
True, Jefferson, as Vice-President of
United States, presided over the Senate,
but he was not Senator. Nor was mad
ison, nor Henry, nor Washington, nor
Tucker" Consequently a contrast of
their course in the Senate with that of
the naughty Malone is enthusiastically
inexact. Now how about Leigh-Ben-
jamin Watkins Leigh? He was, in the
ancient times of which the illustrious
Georgian MARBLES, a Senator from Vir-
ginia. His q ashes" are among the bluest,
the purest in their patrician origin and
affiliations, embalmed in the Old Domin-
ions grand ash heap! He entered the
United States Senate in February, 1884.
The Washington Globe, in its issue of Oc-
tober 5, 1884, declares:
Mr.. Leigh did in effect surrender the first mo-
ment he crossed the threshold of the Senate Cham
Der last winter the constitutional principles of his
State and his own, as now avowed. He joined the
party of the bank i'll the Senate, labored indus
triOusly with it throughout the session, supported
every measure proposed by the bank leaders to
break down the administration and the party op-
In fhah hanl md aylta into oil
of and acted throughout with that coalition which
looks to the presidency the success of which every
body knows will be followed by the re-establfsh-
ment of the bank.
Of course, this is sad. very sad, from
the housekeeping Georgian's stilted
standpoint. 1t would furnish for Malone,
even if guilty, as charged by Hill, pre-
cedent, directly in point, in one whom
the latter indorses as one of :" the noblest
and greatest!" Leigh was returned to
the Senate. But let us draw the curtain
over the painful scene. For the present
it is enough that the indignant Geor-
gian ambassadors vindication of the Old
Dominion's immortal ash heap is mixed.
Malone has not been annihilated. The
illuminated Georgian has erred in sup
posing that none of the "noblest and
greatest of the past" ever had the indie
pendence and the manliness to revolt
against tyranny founded in arrogance
and usurpation, and supported in bigotry
and fraud!
But Hill, like Walpole, treats all history
as lie. tits his grand, strong point. A
new dominion-new blood, an advancing
civilization, new ideas, and liberal
minded, independent men-may sup
plant the regime of the old, but for him the
"ashes in its bosom" will slumber" all
the same.
