THE MAYORALTY.

Whatever change may be made in the
laws relating to Springfield, the fact will
remain that we must have good, strong,
unexceptionsl man as the Republican can
didate for the mayorslty. The GLOBE
REPUBLIC has no candidate, and will make
no discrimination in favor Of any one Of
the men who have been mentioned But
we must urge that good man shall be
nominated, man who can be elected, and
BY the usual Republican majority-the ma
jority of the fall, and not of the spring.
1t would be q poor compliment and a
worse favor to nominate a man who will
be quite sure, or even likely, to be beaten.
There are three or four men named who
would have no opposition, except from the
Democrats. There are as many others,
the selection of either of whom would
bring out a third candidate, to aid the
Democrats in beating him. We do not need
to particulsrize. Intelligent men, who are
careful observers, and have good memories,
will know from which class to select the
winning candidate, and which he is.
And it will be understood that much
more caution and care must be taken in
selecting candidates id the spring than in
the fall, as we shall not have the active
cooperation of general canvass to as.
sist us in our local election. A good
clean, complete Republican victory in
April would give US an impulse tha,
would be felt in October.
We hope that our Springfield Republi,
cans will look beyond the supposed inter
ests of individuals to the promotion of the
interests Of the general public, as well as
to those Of the Republican party of Ohio
and of the country.

CushiOn-Stumng.

In the rear of small harness shop in
. New Jersey village. the other day, the
proprietor was making q humping
noise and raising big dust by pound
ing with a whip-stock heap Of curly
black hair. which he had taken out Of
an old carriage cushion.
What are you pounding that hair
for?" was asked when he stopped to
get breath and wipe the moisture
from his for head with q red cotton
handkerchief.
ut is not hair" said the man.
what is it then?"
"A mixture OF marsh grass, moss,
and cocoanut fiber. Good imitation,
though, isn't it? You see. hair is a
first-class article for stuffing mattress
es, cushions, etc, bat it is expensive.
1t is clipped from the tails and names
of horses, dead and alive, from the tails
of cattle, from the bellies Of hogs. and
from the human head. 1t is twisted in
to ropes to make it kinky, and when
the kink is set it is used 10 stuff the
cushion. 1t costs o lot Of money, even
when freely mixed with short hair.
Most pcople prefer a genuine hair cush-
ion at so cents, to q genuine hair cush-
ion at IS. So the manufacturers ac-
ccmmodated them with this mixture.
Sometimes fine split whale-bone is put
in the mixture, and sometimes. though
not often, it is diluted little With hair.
The stuff costs from $40 to S25 a ton.
1t packs with use, but the cover Of the
cheap cushion wears out about as soon.
We can make a new cover and then use
the old filing over again by whipping
it with slender whip to liven it up.
There is no money in such stuff for any
one who handles it, but we've got to
meet the demand "-New York Sun.

A Wartime Incident.

The following good story on Kew: Dr.
Bartlett, of the New York Avenue fres-
byterian church, is printed here, says
Washington dispatch to me Cf'c''''o''
Commercial Gazette:
just about the close OF the war,
when greenbacks were abundant ana
entertainments in demand at points
where large numbers OF troops were
stationed, Rev DIR. Bartlett, who was
then lecturing, received telegram
from someone at Cairo, ILL.,, asking his
terms for a lecture. Five hundred
dollars and expenses. answered. the
doctor. hoping to get rid OF the annoy
ance and danger of so long trip.
Name your own time; terms satisfac-
.ory,' was quickly wired back. So in
due season the doctor started to NIL his
engagement. He was to speak on Fri
day evening. but owing to several acci-
dents common in those days, he did not
reach his destination till late Saturday
night. He was most cordially well
coined by the chairman Of the lecture
committee, whom he found to be an en-
terprising sutler. Apologizing for his
non-appearance, he was told tMat Mon
day night would do quite as well. His
host asked him if he could not preach a
sermon on Sunday evening. The doc
tor said he would deliver one of his lee
lures on the GLORY and Shame of Lam
guage.' appropriate to the occasion. To
his astonishment he found Sunday
morning that he was advertised in an
extra bulletin to deliver his grandest
and most eloquent lecture that evening
at 81 per ticket He expostulated. but
in vain. He was told that he must
keep his promise.
Expecting to find small audience
at such large tariff he was surprised
with a crowded house, and four major
generals on a front seat. 1t was all
clear gain for the sutler, who had sold
tickets ahead for the regular lecture.
and used the Sunday-night service to
take in the army Of contractors, officers,
and others then thronging Cairo. who
were willing to pay almost any price
for an evenings entertainment.
~ hey treated me like prince, said
the doctor. ..but never preached Sun
day night before or since where tickets
of admission were paid for. The sutler
got ahead of me, and came out with
several hundred dollars profit"

Senator Garland's speech.

Augustus H. Garland was born In
Tennessee in 1882. His looks are not
strikingly impressive. His frame tall,
we'll built. compact, surmounted with
well-rounded head; bushy black hair;
face clean shaven; his mouth firm set,
but pleasant. solemn one moment and
twitching the next with some nascent
drollery; brown eyes, small, frank and
piercing; kindly withal, but changing
rapidly from earnest to quizzical; in
movement, easy and self-possessed; in
debate, clear, cool, fair, driving directly
by strong logic to the end in view. The
senate does not contain q more uni
versal student or a more restless wag.
A guilty conscience keeps him always
on the lookout for some terrible retalia-
ton, and it is red-letter day in the
senate when this bitter is bit.
On one occasion, when an important
measure was before the senate, Mr..
Garland delivered q careful and ex-
haustive speech, to which close atten-
ton was given. About ten minutes af-
ter he had finished, and. metaphorical-
ly speaking, 'his brow bound with
victorious wreaths," Don Cameron
went over to the Arkansas Senator'S
side of the chamber and said:
Garland, when are you going to
speak on this question? Iwant to hear
you"
Good Lordr' remarked the surprised
senator; '.why 1 just got through. Where
were youP'
About five minutes later Mr.. Whyte,
of Maryland. who had not been in the
senate during the speech. had the job
put up on him, and asked the same
question in good faith.
"Why, Just finished. Whyte, con-
suit the Record in the morning"
Another five minutes passed, and
then Butler, of South Carolina, another
sleepless wag. went meekly up to Gar
land and asked him when he was going
to speak to the bill. Considering the
source of this last inquiry. the remark
was in the nature of an eye-opener.
and Mr.. Garland tartly replied:
If you have any more OF 'em, But
Ter, bring them on in body; it saves
time Washington Post.

dedicated to a dear, old motherJ
My mothers old face. it is wrinkled and wan
And the bloom Of its beauty has hed,
As left but the leaf that clings to the tree,
When its riossoms are withered and dead;
But the love that illumes the scars OF the
years,
UndimEied in its beauty and light
10 true as the star that follows the sun.
To brighten the dusk of the night.
The love of the world. may shine as the wing,
OF the butterfly slipping the flower,
To vanish away when the honey is dry,
And the wine of its nectar is sour;
But the love that is shrined in motherhoods
heart.
Knows nothing of death or decay,
As the gold that endures when the clods OF the
mine,
Are trampled In astes and clay.
NV mothers old face, II is wrinkled and wan,
But what with its worth can comparer
Or rival the love unfailing and true
In its setting of wrinkle and care:
60 fade As II may In the Winter of years,
And droop in the drifts Of the snow;
In the gardens of God will blossom again,
The rose that was gathered below.

Brewster, the man who went into The
Mascot Office in New Orleans to wit
ness Of his friends Gaming of the editor, is
dead. Houston. the said friend, tells one
story about the affray, and Osmond, the
editor, another; but they both agree that
The Mascot sanctum was inconveniently
full Of pistol-practice for a few seconds,
and that the two gentlemen who had called
to interview the editor went away quite
Immediately; and one, the late Brewster,
was taken to the hospital. There is great
deal of sensation in New Orleans about
this last killing; and the citizens, every
one with gun nesting under his coat
tail, deplore the murderous reputation the
city is acquiring.

Mr. Alfonso What s-his-name, Of Spain,
has been shaken into some prominence by
earthquakes. He had been an obscure
young man of fashion about Madrid; but,
when he found that his people" were
agitated by movements of the earth, and
many of them killed, he saw his oppor,
tunity. He got on the royal train Of cars
and went and exposed himself to an
earthquake, as Humbert did to the cholera
in Naples, giving Ibis people" to under
stand that he would 90 dowI with them, if
need be. And it has made hero of the

Phelan denies that he said he was an
Ingersoll man. He says that, when he
was lying bleeding on the pavement some
one OF the unsympathizing spectators sug-
gested that Ingersoll should be sent for to
administer the dying consolation. 1t WAS
a Fenian's brutality. Phelan declares
that he does not believe in lngersoll, but
that, when he arrived at the hospital, he
sent for priest and received the extreme
JUNCTION. So the anti-Hades Bob can not
be complimented on any connection of his
doctrine with the butchery in O'Donovan

The Reverend Heber Newton, of All
Souls Episcopal Church, New York,
preached surprising sermon on the good
and evil OF Ingersoll last Sunday. He
said among other shocking things: Let
me frankly own to you that believe Mr..
Ingersoll, in his rough attacks on religion,
is doing real service to the cause of en-
hghtened religion" And he showed how
in this striking way:
"Let US he glad that so doughty foe as
this great Goliath of the Philstines walks
up and down before the armies OF Jehovah
ridIculing their feehleness; ior we may thus
be aroused To make civilization the Christian
society which it is in name, but which it is
not in fact"

The Cleveland Leader is emphatically
opposed to painless death for murderers,
such as suggested by the recommendation
of the Governor OF New York. 1t main
tains that the physical pain Of death is the
element in the punishment which deters
brutal men from the crime Why, then,
not return to the practice of burning ?
Roast a murderer to death by slow Ere.
This would deter more than choking would.

bloodthirsty as it pretends. Come, come,
death is a pretty severe punishment, with

here has been candid enough TO say that the
ratification OF the Nicaragua treaty would be
halt a million to him. And he is not one of
the biggest bags lii this Washing
ton Letter.
This is the kind of friends that have
dragged Grant down to what he is. That
is the principal reason we want Grant re-
tired from his friends just as soon as it
can be done. Let this retirement be made
as soon as possible, and then let Grant
