called dull and slow has, by honest
purposes and inflexible will, enlight-
ened by nothing more luminous than
plain, good sense-the offspring of
everyday eXperience-conferred in
estlmable blessings upon his kind,
whist the history Of the world is full
OF examples of curses brought by
brllliancy corrupt and genius misap-
pied. Mr.. Cleveland is a plain, so
Der man. There is nothing dramatic
or sensational about him. He has
not, like so many politicians, a long
conscience and short memory. His
mates and loves are few, positive and
Sincere. He has shown himself
abundantly able to say mo-" and
yet, as | have seen him, no man has
a livelier wish to crafty the wishes
OF others. He wants to do the right
thing and the kindly thing, and there
is not the smallest doubt that since
his election he has been inspired by
the truest spirit of justice and the
most conscientious sense of duty,
equally loyal TO his great place and
party, asking no favOr5 and looking
to his work to vindicate itself.
Very great forbearance and a pa
tent temper should be extended by
the public to such public servant.
He selected his political advisers by
the rules of fitness, and he has inspir-
ed them with his own business. like
spirit. The departments are in hands
most uniform and methOdical. In
every one of them there circuIates
the atmosphere of the workshop. To
say nothing about practical benefits
and utilitarian performance and
promise. all this has moral value
incalculabIe. 1t is, in itself, sort of
democracy, and much needed sort
at that.
The attack of Mr.. Eustis upon
the administration seems to me
equally unjust and unwise. AS long
as senators and representative insist
upon sharing the patronage of the
government, they should he willing
to share its responsibilities.
This administration is trying to do
its duty. Beset on all sides by com.
plications. and badgered day in and
out by opportunities, it has kept its
temper passing well, and has made
no more mistakes than are common
to newcomers in office, and not so
many as might have been expected"

Pleasant weather, after an unusu-
ally cold snap.
Health again restored in the neigh
hood.
Quite a number of persons attend
ing court.
We feel the effect of business de-
preston here in the country as well
as in towns and cities.
Farmers are making unusual efforts
to raise larger crops per acre, by more
thorough cultivation, and more ex-
tensive use of fertilizers. The past
dry season and the severe and long
continued winter has stripped us of
provender, and left much of the stock
in poor condition, so Il greater effort
on the part of farmers to brace up
against those emergencies is in place.
Mr.. NJ. MaItingly takes the lead in
large horses. which he has lately pur-
chased.
Smith & Calls are alive in the mer-
camille business, and know what the
farmers need.

Working on His Book.

New YORK, May 4.-Gen. Grant
has been at work on his book to-day,
He is feeling about as strong and
cheerful as yesterday and passed a
fairly good night. DIR. Douglas will
not return until this evening.
At the Baptist pastors meeting to-
day, in discussing an essay which had
been read, entitled "Modern Faith
Cures" Rev. DR.. Patton said that he
thought General Grant an example
of faith cure, and spoke of it as the
result of the prayers of the people of
this country for the preservation of
his life.

The English Soldier.

Under the existing system soldier
in the British army is provided by
the State with a uniform, including
boots, renewed periodically, but he is
often required to pay out of his own
pocket for a new pair Of trousers,
serge frock, or forage cap, While it is
evident that his two pair of boots an.
nually are not sufficient, and the cost
of additional boots and repairs to
those he possesses is betrayed by the
man himself. He also, on enlistment,
is furnished with free kit of neces.
saries, comprising under-clothing,
knife, fork, and spoon, backing,
brushes, braces, razor, towels, soap
etc. This kit he has to keep up at
his own expense. 1t is plain from the
above that the soldier is not clothed
by the State. The result of this ar.
rangement is constantly recurring
stoppages, which often leave the sol.
dier with only Id. day pocket mon-
ey, cause great irritation and diScOn-
tent, and are fruitful causes of deser-
ton. Neither is he fed by the State,
for all he obtains in the shape OF
rations is 1 pound bread and : pound
meat daily. The balance, in the shape
of groceries, vegetables. milk, ETC., is
betrayed out of the messing fund, for
which 4d. day is stopped from his
pay. In addition he is charged with
washing at I'd. day, haircutting Id.
month, and barrack damages, for
which he is lucky if he gets off at Id.
month. If he belongs to the library
the subscription is Sd. month. We
indOrse Sir Frederick RObinsOn's re-
commentator that whatever sum is
called pay should he free of stOppageS,
so that the soldier may know exactly
how he stands, and the captain and
colOr-sergeant be relieved of much
clerical work and me.consuming ac-
counts. AS the most careful infantry

cumstances. clear I'd. a day, it would

sum, and for the State to defray all
charges connected with the items
above mentioned, unless, of course,
in cases of carelessneSs and waste.

The banquet given by the Cleveland and
Hendricks Club of Benwood, over the river,
last Thursday night was attended by quite
a large crowd of Democrats and their
friends. The banquet.hall was nicely dec
grated with the stars and stripes and the
Benwood brass band played some lively airs,
and when the crowd bad gathered in the
hall the "Star Spangled Banner" and "Hail
Columbia" were sung with q spirit that en-.
iveued the occasion still more, and when
the banquet table was surrounded, and the,
efinking of glasses begun to various toasts,
among them THE old guard that never fall
tered in the face of defeat" the scene resem-
bled that of the Children of Israel emery
ing from the wilderness, so full was their
cup Of Joy. An elegant ball was in progress
at this time. and LaRoche's superb music,
BY seven pieces, added still more merriment
to the occasion and the dance of Joy was
continued until st. Jackson's Day in 1885
was among those of the past but memo
rles Of the great battle of New Orleans were
still recounted By the older ones in pleasant
groups that seemed to indicate that Joy was
