JEEE. DAVIS.
Democratic Success Followed by Demo-
cratic Eulogy of MIR. Davis.

Democratic Success Followed by Demo-
cratic Euiogy of MIR. Davis.
The success of the Democratic party
in the recent Presidential election is
promptly followed by Democratic
culogies of jeff. Davis by Democratic
leaders from Democratic States in the
United States Senate. The real senti-
ment of the Democratic party was
partly disclosed by these speeches.
They tolerate Union Generals like Gen
eral Shcrman; but they honor and
venerate JEFF. Davis.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, said he
had "kind feelings toward General
Sherman" but he believed, "as the
overwhelming majority of the Southern
people believed, that jeff Davis was
true and loyal TO the cause he espoused
as ever was wife to husband, or de-
voted to the God he worshippcd. ~ JEFF,
Davis lived "among II people who
honored him" He pictured General
Sherman as man to whom he could
accord a certain respect; but jeff
Davis was man "honored and be-
loved by millions.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, had
nothing to say against General Shcr-
man. Apparently he was willing to
extend to General Sherman and the
loyal men of the North the charity of
silence and forgiveness; but he de-
clared that jeff Davis was "beloved
by millions of people"
Senator George, of Mississippi had
nothing to say against General Sher-
man and the loyal North; but he had
mo fear that the verdict of history
would be adverse to the honor or
patriotism of Jefferson Davis"
Senator Lamar ''would not impugn
General Sherman's veracity' is,
he wouldn't denounce General Shcr-
man as liar-"bnt no man should in
his presence call Jefferson Davis q
traitor without his responding with u
stern and emphatic dcnial." He had
"respect for General Sherman's Mill
tary sagacity;" but he Uamar) had
been throughout "ihc friend OF Mr..
Davis"
| And so on. The whole tone of the
debate, ON the Democratic side, was
that of generous condescension and
Willingness to forgive the Republican
! North on the part of the Democratic
South; but on the ground that the leader
of the rebellion be regarded as an hon
ored hero and patriot, beloved by mill
ions; while the leaders OF the war waged
by the Republican party against Demo-
cratic secession and the Democratic
doctrine OF State sovereignty might be
worthy OF respect, in spite of their 10.
ing wrong; but that was all they de-
served or should receive. DelfoR IoS!.

A Conscientious Reporter.


Ills a breach of confidence for q
member or an officer Of the Senate to
disclose the transactions of a secret ses-
sion. until the removal of the injunc-
ton Of secrecy by formal resolution Of
that body Still, newspaper correspond
ents generally manage to find them out,
in some way. So well known was their
accomplishment in this direction that
Senators would oftentimes go to the re-
porters for information as to what had
been done in secret session, instead of
the reporters to the Senatorsl Once, q
Senator, going to the Senate rather
late in The afternoon, met q cor
respondent coming from the Capitol.
The law-maker asked what was being
done in the Senate. 10, nothing i'm
portant, was the answer. "They have
just gone out of executive session and
are now discussing The subject they had
up yesterday" The Senator was evil
IDENTIFY interested in some nomination or
other business, and so he persisted and
asked the correspondent what action
had been taken in executive session.
The newspaper man coolly eyed the
Senator for few moments, and then
cautiously remarked: "Well, you Con-
gressmen are getting to be such free
takers, / think I'd better not tell you'll

A SAD OCCURRENCE,
An Unexpected Breaking Down Revealing
tho Danger Hanging Over Many
ri I IN n


A cely-dressed gentleman was walking
along fremont street, in Boston, few days
since. and without any warning fell upon
the sidewalk in a state of insensibility. he
was placed in an ambulance and sent to the
hospital, where, upon examination, 1t was
found that he had not been overcome by the
heat, but that, although in apparently perfect
health, his system had become so reduced in
tone that nature was forced to give way. Such
cases arc becoming alarmingly common OF
late, and to such an extent as to demand seri-
ons attention and Investigation. People have
slight headaches, but consider them as moth
Ing. A tired feeling they attribute to the
weather. Occasional pains are thought to be
only colds. But without any special cause
many people becomes undermined unknown
even to the people themselves, and il is only
when some sudden giving way and breaking
down occurs that they realize the grave danger
they are in.
One of the most important things for sus.
tanning life and energy is albumen, and yet II
must be taken into the system IN proper form
and quantity. How best TO do this has been q
study with scientific men for many years, and
1t has always been a vexcd question. Professor
Rose, one of the leading chemists OF America,
has succeeded not only, in preparing an admir-
able form of albumen, bat in actually subject
ing 1t to the digesting process, so that 1t is
ready at once to become incorporated into the
system. This is called Peptonized Bee, and,
the form OF Hoptonic. We venture TO say
there is no preparation of modern times that
contains so much that is strengthening, invig-
Grating and beneficial as Hoptonic. For over
worked men, delicate women and sickly chill
dren, il comes not only as q tonic, but as a food
1t revives the life that is mt low ebb.
There is no season OF the year when the vital
forces of life do not require 10 be most care
fully guarded Stimulants are injurious; adul-
teratci ard badly prepared food clogs the sys-
tenn without nourishing; but albumen not only
Eustsins life, but adds a vigor and force that
are supply wonderful. Few men and fewer
women realize how great discovery this Hop
tonic is; but it is gratifying TO know that
thousands are understanding il. and taking
advantage Of the opportunities offered by the
look for grand results from It's use in the
renewed life and activity OF the American PEG

Hints About Horses.

Bad driving will often fatally injure
a horse in few miles; while skillful
driving would make the journey in
less time and leave the horse as fresh
as when he started. Drive slow when
the animal is full of food and water,
but after the muscles are limbered and
the system emptied, increase the speed.
Then check up and let the horse cool off
before stopping, and there will be less
danger of taking cold and of stiff mus.
cles and less necessity for rubbing down
and make good time on level ground and
on moderate descents. Never keep
the same gait and speed for long
time. for change Of gait is equivalent
to rest.
Never ride a horse without first
making his acquaintance and securing
his good will. Go to his head, speak
kind, pat him, look him in the eyes.
whether you are q friend or foe, he
will judge by your voice, your eye and
your breath. Horses Judge a man as
quickly as man does a horse. Feed
and water abundantly at night after
work and the animal has had time tc
rest and cool off. Feed moderat ely in
the morning or before work. Partha,
ms and Arabs prepare their horses fol-
hard drives by fasting rather than
feasting. More horses are injured by
hard driving on a full stomach thar
by any other process. Never let horse
eat or drink much when it is hot from
work. Study your horse, treat it &C
cording to its nature, make it you
friend, and it will do better and safer
service.

the soldier did not know his majesty by

Two Hundred Millions.

Mr.. Vanderbilt was worth 5000, 600.
900. If we say that he was worth $780,
900, 900, or 81, 900, 900, 900 do we get a
perceptibly different impression about
the bulk OF his fortune2 Most people do
not. To the average mind the concep-
ton Of enormous wealth is much the
same whether it be recEoned in hundreds
of millions or in vigintillions. The
human mind cannot grasp these great
sums or clearly appreciate the difference
between one hundred millions and two
hundred millions.
Let us try and describe Mr.. Wander
bilt's great fortune in terms of linear,
square, and cubic measurement ard Of
weight. Everybody understands these
terms, and they make q definite impress

standard silver dollars it would present
such features as this:
Put lengthwfo dollar after dollar, i,
would stretch distance of 4,672 miles,
making d silver streak from New YorB
across the ocean to Liverpool.
Piled up, dollar on dollar, it would
reach a height OF $50 miles.
Laid fiat on the ground, the dollar!
would cover a space of nearly sixt!
ceres.
The weight of this mass of silver
would be 7,160 tons.
To transport it would require 35S cars
carrying twenty tons each (this is tn,
capacity of the strongest freight cars

and half long.
On ordinary grades it would require
twelve locomotives to haul this train
On roads Of steep grades and sharl
curves, fifteen or twenty locomotive!
would be needed.
In one dollar bills this two-hundred
million dollar fortune would assume
