NEw YORK, April Cit is now
known that Frelinghuysen's mind is seri.
ously affected. A gentleman who held a
| Government position under Arthur and
who saw Frelinghuysen very frequently
in Washington, said to World reporter
last night: Il believe Frelinghuysen is
suffering from mental arrangement pro-
| duced to great extent by chagrin and
disappointment. At the close of his adj
ministration he was placed in very un-
enviable position. He never was warm
advocate of Blaine, although consistent
Republican, and the Blaine organs, bit
terly exasperated at the defeat of their
candidate, and ready to vent their spleen
upon any one who did not follow their
leader, were unsparing in their criticisms.
Frelinghuysen is sensitive man, al
though apparently reserved and austere,
and these thrusts, coming as they did
from Republican newspapers, hurt his
feelings very much. | think they af-
fected his mind, which was weary and
worn, and finally resulted in his utter
prostration."

men, and the purest of patriots. To this
Mr.. Davis responded, urging all to be
good and true citizens of our common
country, to cherish sentiments worthy of
citizens of a Republican Government and
genuine Republican institutions, and to
see to it that those principles are founded
in Justice and that the truth of history be
preserved, whether written for schools or

THE OLD SLAVE BELL.
IN. o. Democrat


The liberty bell, SO often apostro-
phized by orators, has its antithesis in
the Louisiana exhibit in the Government
building. This is the old ''slave bell
that for many years called to work the
l50 slaves on the Fontainbleu sugar plan
tation. This plantation was one OF those
princely domains of the earlier planters
of Louisiana. 1t fronted Oh Lake Pom
chartrain, having water frontage OF
nine miles. The original proprietor Of
the Fontainbleu plantation was NJ. Ber-
nard de Marigny, loyal French settler
of Louisiana, who, on the occasion of the
visit of Louis Philippe to this country,
entertained him right royalty at his plan
tation, and was in turn received by his
imperial guest at the court of France
with distinguished honors.
The bell was cast in 1926, and tradi.
ton says that Mr.. Marigpy standing
over the large cauldron filled with molten
metal, dropped therein 1000 Spanish
silver dollars to give the bell clear and
silvery tone. Three French inscriptions
are on the bell. At the top is the legend
"T'apparticusa Monsieur Bernard de
Marigny," while other inscriptions speci-
fly the time and place of founding.
One striking point of resemblance be-
tween the "slave bell' and the Liberty
Bell is the fact that each has assure on
the side. Concerning the assure in the
slave bell pretty legend is related. The
bell stood in the center of the plantation
and was pealed to summon the force Of
slaves to and from their work. Early in
the morning its changing reused the
tenants of the quarters to their daily
tasks, and at eventide its silvery notes
| were borne on the soft breezes to the
most distant corners of the great planta-
ton.
At the sound OF its evening peal the
army of blacks, worn by their days la.
Dor, would come trooping bacl; to the
rows of cabins that formed their quar-.
tiers. A right welcome sound it was to
those dusky toilers, and they learned tc
love the bell and to repeat tales of its
wondrous purity of tone and far.reaching
sound. 1t is a tradition cherished by
these former slaves who daily obeyed the
bells behest that on that morning wher
Lincoln proclaimed emancipation and
freedom for all the bell fell from its lofty
pedestal and rent that fissure in its side
which now silences it. Its power gone
with none to obey its behests, the bel
chose perpetual silence to impotent peal
ing, and now is but mute memorial o
a bygone power.

the corral. On surveying the scene she
saw four mountain lions, and without q
moments hesitation attacked them with
an AK. Two of the lions jumped the cor

ward her and after the goats. She dealt
one blow with an ak, laying its back oper

morning fifty of the valuable goats were
found dead and thirty were wounded

No sooner has one Senatorial
election been disi esed ofin this State
than the wires are laid for another.
This is way we have in Nevada.
The Eureka Leader says
Nevada. ought to add one to the
Republican majority in the United
States Senate at the next election.
There is great danger that the fine
ness Of the party in strong Re
publican State like Nevada will
give the Democratic party the con-
troll Of the Senate which has always
in the past been the bulwark OF
Republicanism. The Democratic
candidate has already been select
ed, and the next duty of the Re
publicans of the State is to select
some man who can retire him to
his California home. MIR. Fairs
neat little speech to the serenaders
the other night, which was pre-
faced In the style Of Mark Anthony
at Caesars funeral by proclaiming
himself no orator, was his introduc-
ton as candidate for reelection.
Smooth as that little speech was,
Uncle Jimmy has something in
fnitely smoother and it behooves
those who have the keeping Of the
Republican party in hand to see to
it that some one is selected who can
down the present incumbent"
The smooth something alluded
to by the Leader is probably the
gold pieces in the Senator's sack.
It is generally reported that John
Mackay will back Daggett in the
race against Fair, and that Daggctt
vii, also be assisted by Jones. G.

man also backed by Mackay and
Jones. Stevenson, however, has
enough money to make fight on
his own hook irrespective of any
body's backing.
Of course the people generally
shrink from a sack fight, we mean
the people who are running for the
Office, but we suppose if Providence
so wills it, the voS PopaH portion Of
the community can stand it.
