Garfield and Lincoln.

When General Garfield was on his
way to Washington to he Inaugural
ted as President of the United States,
John b.. a Well-knOwn public man
from AShtabula, boarded the train,
He had been one of GarfieId's pupils
when the latter taught in a little log
school house in the back woods, As
the teacher boarded with Mr.. BIS
mother, they had been more intimate
than is usual with masterand scholar,
Many significant stories were told
when they met which illustrated the
hard struggles of the future President
III his youth. One was that, on some
occasion he was invited to country
party, but on the very day it was to
take place he split at the knee one
leg of his trousers. He had but one
| pair of very coarse Jeans, and no
money to buy another. Garfield had
set his heart on going to the merry
making, ard was bitterly disappoint-
ed.
"You 90 to bed," said his hostess,
land let me see what | can do"
The teacher obpypd, and in an hour
received his trousers so neatly darned
that it was impossible to find where
they had been broken. He thanked
her so earnestly that the good woman
cried out:
"Neyer mind, Mr.. Garfield! When
you're a great man in the Ohio Leg
islature, nObOdy'll ask how many
pairs of trousers you had when you
taught up here in the Reserve ~
This little incident recalls story
told of our other martyred President.
In 1880, travelling pedler came one
evening to cabin in Illinois and
asked the farmers wife if he could
stay at the house all night.
1--WE can feed your beast" was the
answer, "but we cannot lodge you
unless you are willing to sleep with
the hired man."
Lets have look at him first"
said the pedler.
The woman pointed to the side of
the house, where a lank, six-foot
man, in ragged but clean clothes,
was stretched on the grass reading
book. "He'll do" said the stranger.
The "hired man" was Abraham
Lincoln.

Mr.. BLANK, l cannot become your
wife. You are in earnest, 1 know,
and you are wealthy and of good

piness in your hands,"
The Hon. Mr.. Blank -"But YOU
will surely tell me your reason. 1t
must be based on some mistake"
She.-"It is not ; l arm a good
reader of character, and | know from
the hard lines around your lips that
you have not one particle of true,

You do not even pet your pretty dog,

The Hon. Mr.. Blank-"Dogs are
not human beings"
She-"Well. then, to speak of hu-
man beings. AS long as l haye

much as look at a child"
The Hon. Mr.. Blank-"I will take

APPLES AS FOOD.-A raw, mellow
apple is digested in All hour AMI
half, while boiled cabbage requires
five hours, The most healthy dessert
that Can be placed on the table is a
baked apple. If eaten frequently at
breakfast with coarse bread and but
ter, without meat or flesh of any
kind, it has an admirable effect upon
the general system, often removing
constipation, correcting acidities and
cooling off febrile conditions more
etftctually than the most approved
medicines. If families could be in
duced to substitute them for pies,
cakes and sweetmeats, with which
they are frequently stuffed, there
would be diminuti0n in the total
sum of doctors bills in a single year
sufficient to lay in stock of this de-
Iici0us fruit for the whole seasons
use.

A Campaign of Suppression.

A Campaign of Suppression.
The accusation that Blaine was in
1pireh by corrupt motives in writing
| the MulIigan letters has not been
urged with more malice or more Wig
or than the additional charge that in
| reading them in the House of Repre-
NentatiVe3 he produced only such as
he pleased, and suppressed those that
were the most compromising to his
reputation. This alledged suppress
sion has been held forth as a most
heinous offence ana is affording con-
vincing proof of his corrupt charact-
er. But it was promptly denied by
Mr.. Blaine, and his very denial was
selzed upon as furnishing fresh proof
of his WickednesS. But here we have
Messrs. MulIigan and Fisher produc-
ing the very letters which it was
charged he had suppressed. The
suppression charge was the pillar up
on which the entire MulIigan letters
scandal depended for its chief sup
port, and with it fails the entire fab.
ric. The whole question was one of
motive. and the alleged suppression
was the only outward reliable eyf
dence.
Under the circumstances of the
present canvass the Democratic party
might be expected to feel rather re-
luctant to bring such charge against
the opposition. Why, suppression is
| the very cornerstone and foundation
OF the Democratic campaign. Every
effort has been made, every precau-
ton taken, to keep from public know
ledge the policy which will be pursu-
ed by the Democratic party with ref
erpnce to the problem upon which
the prosperity and future Of this
country depend. They haYe selected

they thought had no distinctive views
with reference to national politics,
or, if he did, had never given expires.
! sion to them. They have tried to
frame thir platform so that their rep
resentatives might claim in pr0tec
tlonistS district, that the party would
adopt protectionists policy, and in
free-irade sections that would urge
revenue reform. The statement
made by one of the cOnfidents of the
paity's secrets that the Democratic
candidate for president had express
ed himSeffor free trade has met with
the most violent denunciatiOns by
the Clevelandite organs. They do
not dare to deny that Mr.. CleyeIand
is free trader, but merely urge that
he has not said he is one.
Certainly, this il a vesy discredita
BILE confession to make, and if the
| party were one of principles it would
not adopt such cowarlIy course. If
| Mr. Cleveland is free-trader, the
people, whose confidence he asks,
ought to know it !; if he is not free
trader, they ought to know it. The
entire body Of voters will continue
to believe in the truth of Mr.. Nell
sons statement, made "from person.
al knOWledged, that Mr.. Cleveland
is an aggressive free trader until the
Democratic nominee comes forward
] and denies that he is a free trader.
Such disingenuouS suhterfuges as that
he "did not say so" will only tend 20
confirm the suspicion. If he has not
said whether he is free-trader or a
protecti0niSt, he ought to express
himself at once. He has no right to
suppress this information.-B Bait.

The Chief Mourns.

Watterson, the wild grasshopper-eat-
ing Modoc of the late Confederacy, is
on his way toward civilization, but he
has not got much farther than to ex-
change the breach-clout for the good
tailoring and the scalping-knife for
rhetorical SANDER. Editing a country
paper in the little village OF Louisville,
which has population about equal to
one OF the wards of Chicago, Philadel-
phia or New York, he reminds one of
the blacksmiths of the petty hamlet
into which one of the knights of Ar
thurs Round Table rode, and who were
so intent upon their hammerng that
they could not look up from their horse
nails even to see hero. The impress
sion made upon the nights mind was
that they were g set us boorish ours,
who m!stook the rabble of their small
burg for the roar of the great world.
This is the kind of egotistical imitation
which aiflicts people who, like Waiter
son, put so much vigor and heat into
their hammering that they haven't time
to learn anything new.
What Watterson is laboring to do IS
to carry the States Of Kentucky and
Texas Tor the Democratic party. He
has some sort of ill-defined impression
that If the Democratic platform is not
brought down to the standard Of polit-
ical economy held by Daniel Boone,
the James brothers, Kit Carson, Peck s
bad boy, and the late Confederacy
there will be an uprising in the blue
grass region which will sweep the great
State of Kentucky out of the Demo
cratic party, and will lead to the forma-
ton Of new party to be made up OF
fence cutters, moonshiners, kuklux,
golden circles, roustabouts, overseers,
and free-traders. Laboring under this
fear, it is natural that Chief Watterson
should whoop with unusual vigor when
he sees the elements of civilization,
progress and safety triumph within the
ranks of the Democratic party.
Watterson hates q factory or roll
ing-mill as Piute or Texan cattle
herder objects to q fence. What he de-
mands for the imperial State of Ken
lucky is the proud privilege of raising
horses for export to the markets of the
world, there to be sold to such foreign
peoples as can afford to ride on horse
back. He hopes never TO see the
mountains of Kentucky fretted by q
miners shaft nor her blue skies anC
pure air polluted by the smoke of tho
iron furnace or made resonant with the
jar OF the power-loom. Hence, when q
minority of the Democratic party vote
to resume and continue those magnili
cent industries by which, according tC
Gladstone, America is now ''passins
England with the stride of giant, y
Chief Watterson betakes him in hi
grief to q warm and sunny layer of dir
in front of his rude wigwam and there
Indian-like, smokes the pipe of humilia
ton, and savagely bites in two the flea
of his chagrin. For Watterson is |
great brave, a very remarkable chief
with great big jaw. Mournfully h
smokes, and says: "Randall mucl
traitor; Eaton big coward; Convers
Z heap bad; no good Iniuns left now bu
/ Watterson, Jeif Davis and Hurd." So
one by one the aborigines disappear
from the land, partly by whisky, bu
largely through sadness. Chicago Int

Tie COpiah Report.

Persons who are in the habit Of ask
ing where Congress gets authority TO
investigate political murders in Missis-
sippi are referred to the report Of the ma
iority OF the Senate Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections in the Copiah af-
fair for an answer. The five eminent
lawyers who sign this report have no
difficulty in finding constitutional au-
thority Tor inquiring into the method Of
conducting elections in the South, nor
do they hesitate TO point out the rene
dy which the Constitution provides.
Mississippi has seven representatives
in Congress; II only her white popula,
ton were included in the basis OF repre-
sentation, she would have but three.
Her political power in the House OF
Representatives is more than doubled
by reason of the enfranchisement OF her
colored population. II these people
are not permitted to vote, then they
ought not 20 be- counted in the appor-
tionment Of Representatives. The argu-
ment OF the Committee upon this point
Is unanswerable, and they maintain that
il Is not merely discretionary matter
with Congress TO reduce the representa-
ton, as provided for In the fourteenth
amendment, but that 1t Is solemn duty.
The enumeration Of oolored people
as part Of the voting population gives
the South forty-four additional mem-
bers Of Congress and forty-four addi-
tional Electoral votes. The vote In the
House on the tariff question abundantly
illustrates how the political power de-
rived from the enfranchisement Of the
negroes Is used. Where would Mr..
Morrison have been without the South
ern Democrats who represent Republic
an DistriotsP The report Of tho COM
mittee very pertinently suggests that
these added votes ''would have been
sufficient 10 have changed the whole
course OF our history In the past, and
are not unlikelyto TO determine 1t in the
future" $50 ta
The Committee report the facts con-
cerning the Copiah County murder sub
stantially as heretofore published. They
find that conspiracy existed In that
county TO prevent the Republicans from
voting, and the murder OF Matthews
was committed in pursuance Of that
conspiracy. Although these crimes
were committed at State election, the
effect Of them is TO intmidate voters
and keep them away from the polls
when members Of Congress and Presi,
dental Electors arc chosen. The gem
eral conclusion arrived at by tho Com
mittee Is that the Democrats Of the
South can not be permitted to double
their political power by fraud or force.

I may here, by-the-way, correct the
commonly-accepted version Of q popu-
lar story. We are told that when Ma.
rie Antoinette was informed Of q famine
in the neighborhood Of the Tyrol, and
Of the starving Of some Of the peasants
there, she replied: II would rather eat
pie-crust (soine Of the story-tellers say
'pastry') than starve." Thereupon the
courtiers giggled at tho ignorance Of
the pampered Princess who supposed
that starving peasants had such an al
tentative food as pastry. The igno.
rance, however, was all on the side Of
the courtiers and those who repeat the
story in Its ordinary form. The Prin-
cess was the only person in the court
who really understood the habits Of the
peasants of the particular district In
question. They cook their meat, chiefly
young veal, by rolling II in q kind Of
dough made Of sawdust, mixed with as
little coarse -four as will hold Il togeth-
or; then place this In an oven orin wood
embers until the dough is hardened TO a
tough crust, and tho meat is raised
throughout to the cooking-point Marie
Antoinette said that she would rather
eat croutins than starve, knowing that
these croutins, or meat-pie crusts, were
given to tho pigs; that the pigs digested
them, and were nourished by them In
