A Iessof,

The lesson of Gen. Grants death ought
not to be lost on the Democratic press Of
the South in the future. Lincoln was de-
nonnced as an 'sapen and sstyrant, y and
yet his death called forth the deepest SYM
pathy from the South because it was be-
lieved friend had departed. Grant was
stigmatized as sot, brute, butcher, an
ignoramus and everything that was vile
and repulsive, notwithstanding his gen.
erous terms to the soldiers Of the fallen
Confederacy at Appomattox. He is now
canonized as hero, a patriot, great SOL
dier and statesman, calling forth the most
tender and pathetic tributes to his worth
| from the very pens which villified him.
| Garfield was branded as a thief and liar
| before his election, but when the assas-
SINS bullet ended his career and robbed
him of his power, his great virtues of head
and heart formed the theme of unstinted
eulogiums and his death the occasion of
the deepest and tenderest sympathy
These instances ought to teach the great
mass of the people of the South how false
the Democratic party leaders have been.
To support either of these great men for
the highest position in the government
was considered treason to the South, and as
such it was denounced. Those who dared
vote for either of them were bounded
down as though they were wild beasts
ostracised in their social relations and pro-
scribed in their business pointed at with
the sfnger of scorn and marked as pha-
triahs in society.
But now their praises are on all mems
lips. The South vies with the North in
its tributes Of admiration and affection for
the 'sSilent'Man, who lies cold in death at
Mt. McGregor, as it has done before in it's
eulogies on Lincoln and Garfield. There is
enough in these references to teach the
people how wicked it IS to denounce people
because of political differences and how
chary they ought to be OF listening to
and needing the TRADES of party leaders,
The people Of Virginia are now about en-
tering upon an important political contest.
It will occasion excitement and feeling,
no doubt, but when the Democratic
press commences it's foul defamation of
the Republican candidates, let the people
recall the walls of wrath that were poured
out upon Lincoln, Grant and Garfield, and
learn from it the great wrong that is per-
petrated in villifying men because of po-
| litical differences. 1t is true the candi-
dates do not move in the exalted sphere
that did the three dead Presidents, but
their characters are as dear to them and to
theirs, and as much entitled to justice as
were the great men who have rolled down
their brilliant pathways to the tomb.

In front Of the telegraph Office at Stock
bridge, Mass, there is Il large elm tree,
which is the home OF three red squirrels. 4
little girl who is employed in the office comes
ont a number of times a day and knocks on
the trunk OF the great tree, at the same time
making a whirring noise Us squirrels do.
Instantly three squirrels came out Of the
tree, and, running down the trunk they take
the nuts she has in her hand for Them and
go up to place where the branches divide.
Then they sit upon the landing while they
crack and eat them.
1.-TWO of them are very tame she told us,
"but one is rather wild yet.
After the tame ones had been fed, she
pointed up to one of the topmost boughs,
where the "wld one" sat, looking down very
wistfully The little girl kept knocking with
the nut and whrring like squirrel. Soon
the littla creature timidly began To come
down from its high tower, hating and de-
batting every now and then as 1t came nearer
and nearer to the upliftaI nut. At last it
made one quick bound, snatchod the nut
and was off to place Of safety again.

THE New York papers have full re-
ports of the investigation of charges of
fatal cruelty to a sailor named Jansen.
He was repeatedly beaten in the most
brutal manner by the mate of the ship
j. +. Chapman" When too sick to sit
up he was dashed in the rigging and made
to do lookout duty, dying soon after he
was taken down. The queer thing about
it is that this happened on an American
ship, flying the stars and stripes, There
are not many ships sailing under that
flag, and if this is n fair sample, perhaps
it is no wonder.

inaccuracy. Mr.. Arthur is under the i'm,
preston that Washington city was the
seat of government at the time of the

The city had been founded but the seat
of government was still at Philadelphia
