TO be regretted that the charges were
made. to.trouble Mr.. Webster's spirit
and sour his heart s.
MFR. Webster often sought consolation
in his troubles from the grand old
poetry of the Hebrew, Bible, which
awakened peaceful echoes in his own
poetic soul. His chosen .'cronyh in his
latter years, though much, younger
than Mr.. Webster, was Charles March,
New Hampshire man. Well-edu-
Gated, polished by travel and free from
pecuniary hamper, March was a most
delightful companion; and his wit. keen

Fletcher Webster was also a great ia
vorite with his father, for he possessed
what Charles Lever called 1.-THE lost art
OF conversation" Sometimes when
Mr.. Websters path had been crossed.
and he was as black as night. March
and Fletcher would. by humorous
repartees and witticisms, drive the
clouds away. and gradually force
him into conversation, which would
soon become enlivened by 1.-THE inex-
tinguishable laughter of the gods. :"
One of the most memorable instances of
his Imagination and his resignation IVES
afforded by his parting words to tie

on the night of the nomination of Gen
eral Scott. they disturbed his slumbers
by their call upon him to rejoice them
at the prostration of his lifelong hopes
Rising superior to the office-holding
crowd and to the occasion, the noble
soul of the "Expounder of the Constr

high thoughts, while scornfully looking

That Mr.. Webster felt keenly the at

eulogizing him. 1t has bsen well said

that veil to swear that those sins were

troubled by the attitude taken by many
Massachusetts men, some of whom now
seek to loudly eulogize him. He lost

the lids of his dark eyes were lived, and
he was evidently debilitated and in
firm. At times he would be apparently
unconscious of those around him; then
he would rally, and would display his
wonderful conversational qualities. Yet
it was evident to those who knew him
best that he was q broken-hearted man,

in the twenty-four hours is about the
usual allowance for fast-wolkine
horses, with twelve to eighteen pounds

them the quantity is seldom limited.
Much, however, depends upon the al
lowance of grain. When given uncut
hay should be shaken before feeding.
As to giving cut hay without ground
feed to mix with it, it is not absolutely
necessary to grind feed By mixing cut
liay with whole grain, the masticatiou
of the hay is better insured. Many

eat it. Safety takes place before the

For old horses, having bad teeth, and

Grants majority in Vermont was nearly
thirty-ope thousand, Gsraeld's majority was
26,036. That state holds its September cleo
ton to-day, aud the most sanguine Republi-
can does moi care to speak of more than
twenty thousand majority. Col. Plngrce,
who is at the head of the state ticket has two
advantages that will tend to keep up the flg-
ures he is not the moss back, ring candidate
and he is personally popular. a great effort
has been made by the Blaine men and the
Green Mountain state has reverbrated with
shouts OF Blaine orators, but il is reported
from all shades of opinion that no success has
heeu attained in arousing interest, much
less enthusiasm. There is a sturdy
determination on the part OF many Repuhli-
cans 10 let the October ticket severely alone
for tae reason that as they do not propose to
vote fox Blaine they viii not give him the
benefit OF a vote in September.
Their att,tude, as expressed ny the resolu-
tions Of the Independent convention held
August 2lst, is 70 withhold conntensnce from
the party that is crowded with the Robosons,
the Bclknaps, the Refers, Dorseys and
blaine, such being tue men that the grand
old party to-day delights 10 honor. These
Republicans recall With pride the glorious
achievements Of the Republican party under
the leadership Of i.incolL and Seward, Sum
uer, Chase aud Wilson, but cannot shut their
ewes TO the reckless extravaganza and whole
sale corruption which has characterised the
later days Of the party, and will not support
men who are not known to be open and de-
termined enemies OF the present disreputablc
spells system.
This body Of Republicans with much en-
phasis declared that in the selection of James
q. Blaine as the Republican standard bearer
they recognize the triumph of the worst
element Of the party and, "believing that
his official record mas plainly proved his I'M
fitness for the high position FOR which he has
hecn nominated. We hereby P'oIge 10 him oar
htGty aud ;lferi5je oEpostiioa'' This IS bold
and ontspoken, and comes from body OF
men VINO woald not so speak without cause
and without meaning what they say. The
position thus taken is impEegaable and none
of the Blaine papers have had the courage to
attack it. These sentiments are shared by
hundreds % thousands Of Republicans
throughout the country.
This sentiment will, in number OF states,
bear more decisive fruit thau in Vermont,

Whatever may be the majority iu Vermont

the countries of the globe, coincident with the
near proximity of three great planets TO the
sun The seven years of plenty, and the
seven years of famine in Egypt, in Joseph's
time, he attributes TO these coincide noes.
In 542 of the christian era, pestilence
prevailed in which the dead were compared
to the sands of the sea. In 543 Asia aud Eu-
rope were ravaged, 10, 600 day dying in
Constantinople After a subsistence, it re
commenced in 55S and ravaged every locali-
ty of Europe, Asia and Africa. The eoinci-
dences were that Uranus came to perehilion
in 58s, Saturn 54s, Jupiter and Neptune in
564. In the fourteenth century the plague
again depopulated the earth, The coinci-
dences were that the planets were in perlhelion
as follows: Uranus in 1873, Jupiter in 1882,
Saturn, 1884, and Neptune in 1888. In the
sixteenth century the perihelion occurred In
1916, 1853, and 1861, with the same results
of widespread mortality. Nearly every one
OF the great epidemics for 2, 500 years, says
Mr.. Duncan, has come surprisingly coin
cident to the passage of Jupiter through the
third electrical node, every 1779-100 years.
The popular idea has been that cholera comes

mately does come at thsee periods is YER
flied, and must be the effect OF some general
cause.
The human mind is too limited TO solve
these mysteries of creation. Nothing but an
infinite capacity can compass and compre-
heud them, poor human conjecture can
alone be rcsorted to, and that at best leaves
US in doubt and darkness Mr. Duncan
wrote in 1887 ''The passage Of Jupiter
through SO degree node on October 81, 1852,
viii be an incident Of great interest, as prob
ably the date of remarkable phenomena and
meteorological events" To this coincident
disturbance he does attribute, in the fall of
1882, "the most remarkable weather known
to human memory, the prevalence for six
weeks OF summer weather like our July and
August, and extending through October into
November" MIR. Duncan concludes his
disquisition with an intimation of unusual
occurrences TO be looked for next year He
says: eve know that certain phenomena
the heat of lSS2-did come in October aud
November, 1882. We will see what may oc-
cur when the perihelion OF Saturn occurs in
close proximity to the passage of Jupiter
through the heliocentric longitude of electric
intensity again in July, 1885" OF the great
magnetic and electrical forces, that impel
and balance in illimitable space, worlds and
systems, we know but little, and can know
but little here. 1t is theme and a study,

Especial Telegram to the Globel
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 1.-The game between
the Milwaukee and Winona teams this after
noon did not attract a very large crowd, but
those present were treated to an unusually
fine exhibition of ball playing. The Winouas
are all strong fielders, and with good bat
terry would win as many games as any of
their competitors. Baldwin and Falch oc-
cupied the points for the local team, and
their work was excellent, Baldwin's repeated
Gne stops eliciting applause. Moynahan's
fielding was one of the main features Of the
game, his one-handed catch of a liner
being among the finest PLAYS ever made on
the ground. Griffin and Baldwin as usual
did well at the bat, each scoring a single and
a twO-bagger. McGunnigle pitched for the
visitors during the first seven innings, and
considering his lack of practice did good
work. Donahue's catching was creditahle
The fielding OF the Milwaukee team was
nearly perfect, the only error being a low
throw by Sexton. The Milwaukees made the
first run in the third inning, when Porter
went to first on called balls, injuring his
ankle in the effort Baldwin then ran for
him and dashed home on Falch's base hit.
Griffin's tSo-bagger, Moynahan's out and an
error by Brewer gave the MilwaLkees another
run in the fourth Inning. Migrants muff of
BeheIs high fly, daring base running by the
feet MiIwaukeean and Moynahan's single
and Baldwin's two-bagger yielded two more
runs in the sixth. The Winonas failed to get
a man 20 the plate in safety, the nearest ap-
d.
out while attempting to score. The score is
rs follows:
