The Last Shot

The Pest DiSpdtch seems 10 have finally
taken long farewell Of the democratic
party. In a leading editorial the other
day il said
After ali ii is not violation Of the pro-
prieties OF the English language TO speak
OF the democratic party as a " putrid fem
iniscence- 1t seems To belong to past
era, and Its leaders-ii such a tile is ap-
piicable to the shrivelled manikins who
flourish their batons at the head of the
scra.gy columns-are determined that the
organization shall never be brought
abreast Of the times. The party has had
no general and harmonious principles
since the war period. On questions Of
tariff, finance and social economy there is
as much difference between the democrat
Of Massachusetts and he democrat of the
Missouri plains as there is between the
reindeer OF LarlaHd and the antelope of
the Rocky Mountains. There is nothing
about the partyto attract young men Just
entering into their majority. 1t lacks
sigor, purpcse and elasticity Two
thirds of the followers vote the ticket as
mere matter Of habit, ami it is only
question of time when physical decay Will
reduce the organization to the dimensions
OF 4 ship wrecked crew. The so-eaIled
leaders are generally men OF wealth who
play into the hands OF capitalists, monop-
olls,s and other enenies Of tie people.
The party mad control of the law-making
power OF the government for SIX Years and
did nothing but provoke contempt. 1t
did not reform the civil service in any
particular, it di1 Not revise the tariff, IT
did not reform the electoral system-it
did nothing that was demanded by the
people. When the party fairly, honestly
and Overwhelmingly elected its President
Ill 1876, it lacked the nerve TO complete
the victory, and from that day there has
been marked marasmus, causing disgust
and nausea. The republican party has no
principles and many rascals, but it can
llre on the blunders of democracy The
fear of The savage democratic horde keeps
the organization together, Just as the
foot-sore and fainting French soldiers in
Egypt were Kept IN column by the fugi
tive Mamelukes lowering on the out
skirts. The question arises, is it possible
10 put new blood in the democratic party,
and is II possible TO provide the old thing
VITA new dress of principles as antigua
ted persons are fitted out with artificial
teeth

After Many Years.

In the latter part of 1868, while Gene
raj Steel WAS commander OF the post at
Little Rock, Missoirian named Robert
II. Crowley, Of Prices command, was
captured somewhere below the city, and
brought here as prisoner Of war and
confined temporarily in the state house
From here Crowley was taken to Camp
Chase. where he remained to the close of
the war. Mr.. Crowley, NOW al old man,
recently arrived in this city. Going to
the state house here, he searched for
time among the Railways, and finally took
A hundred dollar bill from hole IN the
wall
"When | was prisoner here, said
the old man. 81 secrcted 500 bill in
the crevice in the wall | knew 1t was
impossible for me 10 keep my money
through my prison campaign, and |
thought by hiding it / might, in after
Years, come and find it. After | was
liberated went to my home in Missouri,
where resumed my business of farming.
At times ! was very hard pushed for
money, but | did not one think of the
500 bill which | secreted during the war.
About a week ago, while sitting with my
family after the days work had been ac-
complished, and while was wondering
how I could raise $50 with which to pay
debt, l happened to think /of the 500 bill.
I don't know why 1 thought Of i and. in
fact, cannot tell for the life of me why
ever should have forgotten it, but did
both forget and remember it The recol-
lection Of hiding the money seemed ike a
dream. At the time when was pris-
oner was veal and worn out. 4 hund-
red dollar bill was not VERY large piece
of money l did not hide it carefully.
bat seeing an opportunity 10 hide the bill
which believed could not much longer
secrete about me, | seized the oppor-
tunity. Today, when l went to the
state house and found the money, l was
moved by an mdescribable emotion. As
| took the bill from its hiding place a
food oi recollections poured over me.
For a moment ! could see the hungry
faces around me / could see the ragged
forms, and could hear the half -plaintlve
and half-revengful voices around me.
felt fer a moment as | must have felt
when l placed the money it lis hiding
place and, upon my word, although l
had eaten hearty dinner, | felt for a
time as though | could eat a roasted
mule

A Great Mistake.

One OF the greatest blunders that
farmer ever commits in his orchard is the
cutting off the large lower limbs of his
trees Yet it would APPEAR that no mis-
take a farmer commits Is more common,
As it is certain that none can be more
harmful to the trees. BIG limbs cut off
near the body OF the tree leave large
scar that never heals over, and Of course
decay begins, and the rot eais into the
very heart of the trees This is great
wrong against nature which she never for
gives. Vet how common it is al over the
country t. see orchards thus mutilated.
The plea is. the farmer wants to ploW up
the bodies OF the trees, and the lower
limbs as they droop over are III the way
and must be removed This Is another
radical mistake the farmer mJkeS. The
ground shaded by full grown bearing
fruit tree, IS not tit for much else, and Is
sufficiently taxed to furnish snstenance to
the tree. II is unwise to try aud make
crnr Of fruit and crop of corn, etc, on
she SAME ground. 4 few trees, occnpying
the same plat of ground, IL prrned in a
sensible way and properly cared for, will
yield larger amount Of nice fruit than a
much larger number N the corn fields
with the larger lower limbs chopped OFF
The lower branches of tree are the more
productive. Don't lcp them of. Don't
plant your crchard IN the cum field, bat
give It pet piece Of land all 10 itself, and
Let the limbs grow and depend from side
to side unharmed by the ruthless ax-
Prune little with the pocketknife every
year from the start, but never leave a
wound so large that it viii not readily
heal over. Prune back, thin out but
never disturb a limb with AK or saw

Denver has a choice morsel OF scandal
wherewith 10 resale herself. The wife
1t Gov. Tabor, the bonauza king. has
fled petition for separate maintenance,
in which she charges him with various
transgressions, intending adultery. What
lends more interest 10 the matter is the
fact that Gov. Tabor has just entered the
race for the senatorial sweepstakes, and is
making vigorous canvass. But it is not
at all probable that the accusations
brought by Mrs Tabor will weaken the
chances OF the governor in the senatorial
struggle According TO the established
code OF morals in Colorado, adultery is a
venial ofense. Ii is one Of the fayorite
recreations of the statesmen and money
kings OF the Centennial state. They
freely admit their transgressions in this
liLe, and unanimously charge 1t to the eli
mate. The legislators who will have the
election OF the senator will hardly Law
much stress upon Gov. Tabor's alleged
lndiscretiOns, although they may make
them prete1t for charging a little more

In speaking of the great elephant re-
Gently brought from England. the \. Y.
Tribune OF a recent date says: Jumbo
Was introduced to two of his fellow cap
.ives yesterday morning. Guarded by
Newman and Scott and trailing massive
chain attached to his hind leg, he vas led
out upon the track of the lIippodrome,
The doors leading to the menaserie were
throsn open and Gypsy and Prince, two
Of the largest ct the herd of twen.y-onA
elephants, were led in. Mr.. Barnum,
the keepers and few attendants curious
ly watched the meeting When the ele-
plants eanshi sishi of each other they
breathed hard. elevated their ears and
Shisked their tails Gypsy and Prince
appeared dumfounded at the monster be-
fore them, Jumbo trumPeted joyfuily and
showed himself inclined TO be sociable
He approached the others, and, putting
ont his long trunk, affectionately caressed
them They responded in Ike manner.
The three trunks encircled one another
like huge boa constructors writ hing in
mid air. Jumbo's eyes glistened and his
tail wagged with satisfaction Then
Gypsy and Prince were started around
the track Jumbo was reluctant to be
left alone, and, turning of his own ac-
cord, trotted after them. They quick |
enei their pace, and his columnar legs
rose and fell with Increased rapidity.
Behind him he dragged the great chain |
without seeming to notice its weight. He !
was led around the track five or six times,
occasionally casting curious glances at the
netting and gymnastic apparatus above
the rings, but evincinS no Signs of fear.
Then the other elephants, after parting
caress from Jumbo's trunk, were driven
back into the menagerie, and he was led
to his quarters.
At the afternoon performance Jumbo
was in SO good condition tha, he Was al
lowed to make his first public appearance
on the track. Queen and the baby were
led out FIRST. Then Jumbo was uniast-
ened and willingly followed them. He
evidently looked down upon the baby
With scorn, for he did not vouchsafe the
little qnadruped the slightest notice.
But Queen he evidently regards with in
terest. He fyndled her with his trunk
and appeared inclined 10 begin fi!rta-
ton The advent oi Jumbo's towering
form on the track created sensation
among the audience People closely
watched HIM, half expecting some exclt

the gardens as quietly as the meekest ale

TIE s. F. Oronic'e says the New York
Times has revived the silly argument that
the Chinese bill will prove imperative,
should it become law, because the SIX
Companies would Immediately organize
an immigration from the East Indian and
Australian colonies Of Great Britain OF
Chinese who have become British sub
jects. As large part OF Australia has a
Law practically excluding the Mongolian,
the absurdity Of this idea must be mani
fest. New South Wales manages TO pre-
vent the Chinese from entering without
English interference. The mother coun-
try would not find it a very healthy task
TO assist in subyerting an American law
on this point.

THE city Of Lucknow, India, is IT.
nowned for the poli:ensss ef its people,
exceeding, it would seem, that of the
French, who are generally regarded as
the politest people in the world. A cor
respondent, writing from the spot, gives
a ludicraus illustration Of the extent to
which the natives carry their ideas of
courtesy. Two native gentlemen, on
their way TO the railway station, accident
aIly fell into ditch. One would sup
pose that both would have been on their
feet in twinkling; but no, the law OF
politeness interfered, and one said to the
other "When your Honor rises then
may l get up." "No. your Honor
should get up first replied the other
sNever how could take precedence of
your Honor And thus the contest
went on for an hour, it is said, because
neither gentleman would consent TO vio-
late the laws of good breeding.
