All Saints Day!!

daux, dedicated to care and atteu
ton, paid by the living, to the 81
lent homes Ut the beloved and re-
vered dead. On Sunday st. 10
seph's Cemetery WAS, all day long,
visited by the friends ofthose whose
mortal remains were at rest Within
that enclosure, and lovely flowers,
handsome. bouquets, beautiful i'm
mortelIes and other evidences of at
lection aud devotion were carefully
displayed gu the tombs and graves
OF the dead, but not forgotten.
The entire cemetery had been
handsomely cleaned. the marks of
decay, on many tombs, were care
fully repaired, and the sunken
graves refilled aud resounded.
Never was st. Johns Cemetery
so chastefully ana handsomely pre-
pared, and decorated as it was on
last Sunday.
Nothing that love and affection
could devise was left undone to
prove that the dead were not tor
gotten by the survivors, who now
occupy the places in society once so
we'll filed by those whose memo
ries remain a precious legacy.
This custom of dedicating one
day in the year to the memory of
the dead is one that should be cher
ished and practised by all civilized
people. 1t is, of itself, an evidence
of civilization.
No people who do not revere the
virtues, and memories of their an
cestors can be a prosperous and
happy nation. Let the idea once
prevail that man will be forgotten,
as soon as life becomes extinct, and
he will sink to the level of the
brute, whilst the hope, warmed by
a laudable ambition of being 1e
membered by posterity, arouses in
mans bosom u desire to leave. for
that posterity, a lame untarnished
and unspotted.
On Sunday morning, in St.
Cemetery we saw IA little ten
year Old girl, busily gathering moss
and flowers with which to decorate
and embellish the tomb OF her ia
Their, whom she can barely renem
Der. How beautiful and lovely she
appeared AL alone, she was bust
ly engaged in her pious work with
no one to suggest or dictate, but
when she finished her task, no tomb
was more handsomely decorated.
With these affectionate proofs of
and amid those lovely
decorations, were also marks of de
cay aud oblivion. Here and there
were venerable tombs, and vaults
into decay, graves that had
sunk to the level of the soil, cover
ed with sod, leaving nothing to in
dicate their location; silent facts
that point to decay and forgetful
ness. Once the Wondering bodies
had friends to remember
them, now all like themselves are
passed away forever, or removed TO
other and distant homes.

will rage more bitterly than ever, but
late advices indicate that for the
present there is very general dispo-
sition to preserve order and unity
and to make the task of the widowed

perpetuated in the election held in

democratic candidate, and elects all

The Servians who ruthlessly in
vaded Bulgaria have met with a sue
cession of disasters. They were
driven back into their own territory
and defeated several times in the
open field. Prince Alexander Of
Bulgaria followed up his military
successes by invading Servia at the
head of fifty thousand troops, and
compelled King Milan to sue for
peace. The first proposal of the
latter for an armstioe was rejected,
on the ground that Bulgaria had not
received any request from the Pow
ers to suspend hostilities. Recently
! however, an armstice was concluded
between seryia and Bulgaria through
the mediation of Turkey, Austria
and Russia. 1t appears that Aus
tria, finding herself unsupported by
the other Powers, had previously
given Servia warning of the conse.
quences Of persisting in its demand
for the rectifcation of its frontier
The armstice means humiliation TO
the Servians and the ultimate depos
ition of their king. On the othe
hand, the Bulgarians will deriv
hardly more than moral adyantag
from their successes, for they cal
only obtain territorial accessions b.
the consent of the Powers, and Their
is little prospect of sucii consent be

The sudden ending of the British
war on Burmah by the submission of
Theebaw aud ., occupation of
Mandalay can occasion no surprise.
Even if the Burmese were possessed
of any deep sense of loyalty and
patriotism, they were absurdly i'll
prepared to repel the attack of a
welI-disciplined force such as com
prised the British army of invasion.
An English visitor to Mandelay, who
witnessed a review of the flower of
the Burmese army in 1880, gives an
account of them which shows how
preposterous it would be to expect
prolonged resistance from them.
They carried half a dozen different
kinds OF muskets, most of them muz-
zle leaders, and some of them old
flint muskets. Their cannons were

There has been considerable spec
ulation in regard to the choice of a
President of the Senate of the United
States. Among those most promi-
nently mentioned are senator's Ed
munds, Logan and Sherman. With
out doubt Senator Edmunds might
fill the place better than Logan, so
far as parliamentary experience and
ability are concerned, and in case of
the death of the President make q
worthy successor, but the probabili-
ties are that Logan or Sherman will
receive the appointment. There are
many who think that courtesy, on ac-
count of Logan's miss of the Vice
Presidency by less than 1900 votes
last year, would offer him the place
made vacant by Mr.. Hendrick' S
death, while the great West is will
ing to carry the honors into the re-
gion beyond the Eastern or Middle
states. Sherman is a stronger man
than Logan, but possibly not quite as
popular. If Edmunds cannot have
the place We should like to see Lo-
gan honored by it.
Later: A republican caucus has
heen held and Senator Logan put il
nomination, but he declines the hon.
or. Senator Edmunds is said to have
nominated Gen. Logan.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The 49th congress assemblies next
Monday, and like its predecessor
will consist of republican senate,
and democratic house of represen-
tatiyes. In the senate the republic
cans have both senators from
eighteen northern states, and one
from each of the states-Indiana,
Nevada, New jersey and Ohio. The
two senators from Virginia will gen
orally act with the republicans, thus
virtually making q majority of eight
for the party opposed to the admin
istration. The senate in special
session last March made up its com
mites, but failed to elect president
pro tenapore, as the late Vice-Presi-
dent Hendricks did not leave the
chair vacant during that time. The
recent death of the vice president,
therefore, leaves the line Of presi-
Dental succession incomplete, and
the senator chosen as president
will stand next in order to the pres1-
dent, and upon him will devoIve ex-
ecutive duties in case of Mr.. Cleve-
lands death or disability. The choice
will undoubtedly fall upon one of
these senators, Logan, Sherman, OF
Edmunds. The democrats will cast
a vote for Senator Harris of Tenne-
see. and 1t is intimated will after
wards vote for Mr.. Edmunds if
necessary to elect him. The house
has yet to organize itself. OF its

ated from So. Hanover college in
that state it 1870; studied law at
Chambersburg, Pa, removed TO In
diana and rapidly rose to nigh dis

he was elected to the state legisla-
ture; in 1851 was elected to Con-
gress; in 1858 he was appointed
commissioner Of the general land Of
flee by President Pierce. In 1860 he
ran for governor of indiana against
Henry S. Lane and was defeated. In
1863 he was elected to the United
States Senate; he was distinguished
in the Senate as an able debater and
served with marked ability in the
committee on claims, judiciary and
public lands. After leaving the Sen
ate in 1869 he practiced law with
great success in indianapolis until
1872, when he was elected governor
of Indiana by a majority of 1148.
He was a prominent candidate for the
presidency before the democratic ma
tional convention in 1868 and again
iii 1872. He was nominated for vice
president by his party in 1875; and
