Showed How His Fields Were Won.


The grand annual shouldering of clutches
ard showing of how fields were won at Port
land reminds the historian of an occurrence
at a similar reunion at Chicago few years
ago. There was sort of a competition
among the veterans that year in the matter
Of wounds, and Colonel Ricksby, we'll
known Chicago lawyer and semi-poiticisn,
who had really been brave soldier, though
be lacked the soldierly quality of modesty,
distanced all competitors by appearing at
the banquet in suit Of clothes with sper-
lures cut through them exactly correspond
ing with all the wounds he had received in
the service. As he had had the good for
tune, for public man, to be shot full Of
holes and recover, he presented an exceed.
ing.y perforated appearance at the banquet
ing board. Here" he remarked in his
voluble way, pointing to one OF his grievous
rents, II was wounded at Pittsburg Land
ing, This cut represents bayonet thrust
at Yicksburg A piece of shell, exploded
az Port Hudson, cut through here, etc,
etc.
A veteran from the country ventured to
ask the Colonel whether shot had ever
struck him in the Jaw, and the rebel fire at
Fort Wagner wasn't any more whitening
than the look thst Rickaby gave him.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

satOry viii have greater vent to-day
for many years past. The change in
nistraiion will revive the old Demo-
sslic custom Of speschifying and making
the eagle scream. With repeated Repubh-
can successes the old fashioned It'll of July
celebrations appeared to lose their popular
ity. They were too commonplace and
Democratic; there was q ssmeness aud
simplicity about them which did
not suit the quick progress Of the modern
era 90 often heard and praised as the won
derful growth of the country under RePub-
lican rule. But the people are tired of the
new tangled ways of celebrating the Fourth,
and as they determined after quarter Of
century's trial to change the party in power,
40 thex,sklnk of other ways Of celebrating
the current Independence day.
\ An the thoughts which food toe mind on
is day are not the haPpiest. There are
Ary conclusive evidences that although
is the greatest country on earth, with
prandest and most bene6eent govern
at. there is nevertheless a great deal OF
Iery existing, for want otwock BY the
,eand sinew of the land. There Is great
0nation in business, mills and workshops

LIANT competitors. 1t is told
r6rt wheat crop and long
hard winter have had much to do with
this condition of things Nodoubt they have,
but there are many other and deeper
causes Of longer duration that are at the
bottom of il. Politics, so far as the tariff
concerned, is not the cause either to any
Great degree. Politics, in so far as con-

Ex-SENAroR THURMAN is reported as say
ing last Thursday, these words:
II do not think any safe President would
make changes in Office more rapidly than
Mr.. CLEVELAND has done. 1t matters not
whether the administration be popular or not,
30 long as it is right and honest"
There is no Democrat who will gsiussy
NJ. THUBNAS's Democracy, nor will any one
hsye the temerity 10 assert, be would do or
thy aught that would diminish the influence
err the party. He is not candidate for
fesce, and therefore his judgment is no
corped by any personal interest. In the
rsht of this noble old Democrats remarks,
Ought not our impetuous Democracy KEEP
their spurs away from the TANKS of the id
ministration2 1t Is Just four months
to-day since Democrat was
inaugursted President. 1t re-
quired q month to look around and
get acquainted with his duties. At least
another month was taken up With inroduc-
tons, hand shaking, congratulations and,
to Q very large extent, useless Ginning.
In the remaining two months over 1000
changes in Office have taken place, and yet
so carefully have they been made that
scarce ripple of excitement has occurred,
and what is best Of all the effective
SIS Of the Government for good has
increased Offices are being re-
, ws and Consolidated; reforms and inyes-
me are being inaugursted; thieVery
;sbd skufduggery are being unearthsd and
The interests of the people generally are be-
ing looked after as they have not been for
many year.
Let US all then, on this intensely patri-
otic day, rehsbiHtsts our minds with good
old Democratic thoughts OF selfsbnegation
and reform, ard with all our might and
main hold up the administration and shout
three times three and tiger for GROVER

Se|f-AdjustIng . no Position

The White Mountain Hammock Chair
differs from all other stationary or reclining
chairs in that it is better, stronger and simp-
Ter, is adapted to the house, lawn, porch or
camp, and is just chuck full of quiet COM
fort and blessed rest. Is far superior to the
hammock in every way, and can be put up
20 SIS to be always in the shade.
By its peculiar construction it is balanced
in all positions, requiring no fastenings to
Seep it in place. The foot-rest can be
quickly and easily adjusted to suit the short
est or tallest persons The seat is made OF
strong canvas, fitting perfectly the entire
length, without drawing the clothing tightly
around the body, thus making it much
cooler than q hammock; while the annoy
snce of catching buttons, tearing down the
ladies' hair, or in any way displaying the
limbs is avoided.
