A descendant of Thomas Jefferson
thus protests against the removal of his
remains from Monticello: More than a
century ago two earnest and enthusiastic
young men of genius and devoted
friends, Thomas Jefferson and Dabney
Carr, sought the solitude of the wooded
sides of then unnamed little mountain,
and week after week of their college va.

certain oak. So attached did they be,
come to the spot that o mutual promise
was made that tLeone who died first
should be buried by the other at the
foot of this fsyorite tree. Carr died
young. Jefferson, who was away at the
time of his friends death, found HIM al
ready buried on his return, but, true to
his promise, removed his body, and
placed 1t at the foot of me tree, whose
arms now stretch over the graves Of the
two friends. undivided in death as they
were in life.

Leavenworth Times: The wool clip
of the current year promises to be the
largest ever grown in this country,
Sheep raisers have suffered less than the
usual loss, owing to the open winter,
and the stock as general thing are in
excellent condition, and likely to yield a
larger percentage of desirable wool.
The backward spring has delayed shear
ing, but has not injured the clip. Inthe
face of the expected large supply, how.
ever, growers are asking prices in many
instances higher than last year; and
though eastern markets have recently
hardened slightly, some grades Of wool
can still be bought lower on the sea
board than in the interior.

II has been its boast that IL marches
in solid column. The boast has bcca
true enough since the time when the
Democracy cast out forever the little
body OF Free-soilers, with whom lay the
seeds of the national future. Up To that
time the Democratic party was party
of ideas, of conscience, OF Individual
~, But when for merely party advant-
age it sold itself to the slave power, and
pueits own interests before those of the
nation it lost its hold upon all that was
blessed in its own past. From being the
party which resisted restriction and
privilege, which enacted universal suf
frage, which threw open the country and
its citizenship 10 all from other lands,
it became the party of privilege, restric-
ton and oppression, whose very exist
ence it staked, for time. on the perpet.
uation of African slavery, The later
history of the party is little more than
the epilogue TO the moral tragedy OF
1S44-60. The oldest of all American par,
ties has become the one most distrusted
by every man who is tree to choose where
his vote shall fall. Ills the party which
always can be trusted to blunder, which
has become morally impotent to rise
above mere partisan fealtY or to perform
