Some Democratic Wisdom.
Philadelphia Times.


Tho logic of the statesmen-that the Presi-
dent should prove himself liar.
-Funnier things have happened than Roscoe
Conkling's return to leadership would be-
Somehow nobody has remarked for some time
that Grover Cleveland is bossed by anybody else.
If New York has any bigger men than Conk-
ing she skilfully manage to keep them well con-
cealed.
If the Democratic organs could pull the
Cleveland administration down, what profit would
the Democracy gain
Democratic sneers at the Mugwump attitude
on the Sterling question direct filings at Pres
ident Cleveland, but the organs either do not
know it or else they can't remember.
"A Denver paper has discovered that the de-
feat of Mr.. Blaines man, Davenport, has sent
Blaine stock booming in New York. So unique
a discovery as this should be patented before cold
weather comes.
The proposition to revise the rules OF the
House of Representatives that they will retard
legislation less does not seem to meet with I'M
mixed enthusiasm. A good many people love the
House rules for the legislation they have retarded
Senator Camden, of West Virginia, said the
other day that in year from now President
Cleveland would be very popular among Demo-
Gratis. The Senator says the administration Will
not be attacked by Senator Eustis and that the
persons who look forward to an exciting session
of Congress will certainly be disappointed.

MS~Alfonso, King of Spain, died at Madrid,
on the morning of the 25th inst, of consumption.
He was born November 2Sth, 1857, and had there
fore nearly completed his 2Sth year. He was
married in the 21st year of his age to Princess
Mercedes, the third daughter of the Duke of Mont
pensier. She was cousin of the young King,
and the match was purely love affair. Mercedes
only lived few months after her marriage
Alfonso was married again on the 10th of Novem-
Der, 1879, to Princess Marie Christina, daughter
of the late Archduke Charles of Austria. He
leaves two children, girls, aged five and one year,
respectively. The oldest child now becomes Queen
of Spain.

re- Many of the old railroads in the South in
existence in 1880 have been purchased since by
syndicates and vastly improved and extended so
as to develop new territory or make new connec-
tions. Besides this, however, many millions of
dollars have been expended in building new roads,
and wonderful impetus has been given to the
development of the resources of the South. The
increase in mileage alone in five years has been
1923 miles. The smallest increase of any State
has been in Acknowledgements miles-and
South Carolina comes next in smalness with 1876
miles. Virginia shows an increase of 1914 miles,
which is exceeded by ouIy two States-Texas and
Arkansas.

Why the Soldiers Loved Mcclellan.

Worcester Spy.
Taking leave of the Army of the Potomac, in
November, 1862, General Mcclellan with his staff
rode rapidly along the front of the army drawn
nm in line to greet their commander for the last
time. As the brilliant group swept by, the regl-
mental colors of the Fifteenth Massachusetts,
caught his attention. They had been out in
many a shower of lead and had suffered especially
at Antetam. Only few rags futtered from the
shattered staff, which was patched with band OF
tin rudely nailed on whore it had been broken by
a shot No other color, in that part OF the line
at least, was so badly torn. Riding rapidly, Nc,
Clelan had passed the regiment before he could
check his horse but then he wheeled, returned,
and halting, saiuted the colors, pathetic symbol
of valor and sacrifice, by slowly raising his cap.
The thunder of cheers that acknowledged this act
of gracious courtesy revealed of the secrets OF
McClellans popularity with his army.

NS~In an article on the closeness of the popu-
lar vote in national elections the New York Sun
says that Gin 1880 Garfield carried nineteen States
and Hancock nineteen, though the former had
majority of ffty-nine in the Electoral College,
On the popular vote his majority was 9,464 over
Hancock, in an aggregate of S,S99,36S. In 1884
Cleveland carried twenty States and Blaine egh-
teen, though the former had majority of thirty
seven in the Electoral College. On the popular
vote Cleveand's majority was 62,6S3 in an aggre-
gate of 9,759,351 cast for the two candidates.
These figures well worth preserving as they
show remarkable state of facts bearing upon the
popular vote of the country in late Presidential
contests.

@D>C. A. Thorpe and J. A. White, both OF
Cecil county, Md, were found dead in the Rose
House, north Gay street, Baltimore, on Monday
morning last. They secured room in the hotel
about IL o'clock on Sunday night and the servant
who showed them up charged them particularly
to be careful to turn off the gas before they retired
Instead of doing as directed it is supposed they
blew the gas out and the result was both were
suffocated. Thorpe was about Is years of age and
assisted his mother in conducting hotel in
Frenchtown. White was % and was engaged in
the business of duck shooting on the Susquehanna.
Deaths from this cause have become distressingly
frequent lately and it is quite time that hotel pro-
prietors should introduce some plan to protect
their careless guests against such accidents.

rs Persons who decry the value of the tree
planting as a means of repairing our damaged
forests and saving our diminishing rivers are COM
mended to statistics relating to this subject sent
from Germany by Mr.. Harper, United States
Consul there. 1t is shown that since 1876, less
than ten years ago, there has been an increase of
1872 $40 acres forest in Germany, result brought
about by replanting common and waste land
Surely there is encouragement here even for those
who care nothing for posterity and hesitate to
plant trees because they fear they will never live
to enjoy the shade.

Another of queen victoria's vagaries.

Tie independent.
By order of Queen Victoria, the rooms of the
house in which the Prince Consort died have re-
manned absolutely undisturbed since that event.
Lately visitor, who was admitted to it, described
the suite as kept dim, dusty and musty, with an
overpowering atmosphere of closeness and mel
ancboly. The dust was nearly an inch thick on
the Princes writing desk; half-used quill was
living crosswise where it had fallen from his hand
or its rack there were several articles about, a
paper-weight, book, and to the right, near the
abandoned quill, little carved frame, and in this
frame the youthful Victoria painted by Winter
halter, picture that was always by the Prince
Consort's side. When this sanctum was vacated
for ever no one dared to touch it or even the
smallest object in the room.
