SONGS
8 ngi That Have Moved Nations
Who Wrote Them and " hat In

OF The Battle Hymn of the Re
public" 1t is sung to the tn re of
John Brown" and commences,
Mine eyes have seen the glory Of
the coming of the Lord" Mrs.
love wrote it early II morning
and it is said that she penned the
lines with her ewes shut. The
night before, she had been out rid
ing in the country near Washing
ton aud her party had narrow
" escaped being captured BY a
troop of Confcderates. As they
came into Washington they sang
John Brown. Body and the
tune kept ringing in Mrs. llowc'S
head all night. When she aw"ke
before daylight sI," began to make
verses of it. and in the fear that
she would forget them she wrote
Ehem off, according to a habit she
2lxd formed &C. ave her eyes, with
out looking at the paper. Mrs.
Howe is still living, and she ranks
amonv the leaders of the womans
rights movement.
Speaking of John Browns
Body" the tune itself is nj old
Methodist camp-ineeting tune, and
tie words were adapted to it by a
gles club of Boston in 1861. 1t
was first published at Charlestown,
Mass. Capt. James Greenleaf, an
Nrganist of the Harvard Church,
set the notes tor music, and Il Mas
sAchusetts regiment made them trrt
noted by singing them at Fort
Warren in 1861.
The author Of maryland, My
Maryland" lives in Washington,
and you may see him ~ the press
galleries of Congress alw ost any
day during the session. He writes
gossiPy letters 20 the Augusta
Chronicle. His name is James r.
Randall. and he is q modcst-iook-
ing. dark-comnlexiorel mat OF
about forty. He must have been
very young when lie wrote that
beautiful poem. His ideas are
broader now, and he is as liberal
in his views as any member OF the
gallery.
"Amcrica" was written by The
Rev. Samuel Francis Smith in
1883, and 1t was first sung in Bos-
ron on the Fourth of July of that
year. Like the battle Hymn OF
the Republic" it was inspired by a
great tune. viz God save Il c
King. THIS tune is in use in near
" every country, anil it has be'n

song at a sitting. He is now a

Oliver Wendell Holmes.
John Howard Payne's "IIome

A CURIOUS TREE.
How the Natives of Madagascar
Make Their Houses of Leaves.
[From Harper's Young People.]

How the Natives of Madagascar
Make Their Houses of Leaves.
[From Hsrper's Young People.]
There is tree in Madagascar Of
which the natives make their houses
What of that7 Well, it is not any
thing extraordinary, is it? We have
several kinds of trees in this country
any one Of which can be used fol-
making houses too.
But then it is principally of the
leaves of this Madagascar tree that the
houses are built, and that is odd. In.
deed, before we have told all about
this tree it will be seen that there are
few trees in the world half so wonder
full as it is. ua
When it is growing it looks like 8
gigantic palm-leaf fan. The trunk is
bare to the top, from which the enor,
nous leaves spring. These leaves dc
not branch out in every direction, but
stand up side by side, SO that they
form half-circle, and give the fan-like
appearance.
It is the middle rib Of the great lea
that is used for making walls and par
titions of. The ribs are twined to.
gether very much as willow is with
us in basket-making. The part o.
the leaf that Is left after taking the rit
! out is used for thatching the roof with
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1885-05-07

OF course such ahouse is not very
grand one.
The good tree has not done all il
can yet however. The native of
Madagascar likes to have his house
carpetsd, and so ne applies to his tree.
He strips of, the bark in one great
piece. Stretches it out, beats it With
round stones, and dries il, and, behold,
a thick soft carpet as wide as four
breadths of Brussels carpet and from
twenty to thirty feet long.
Still the work of the good tree is
not exhausted. There comes long.
hot and very dry season every year in
that part of the world and the wells
refuse to give any water. Then the
tree is ready, and the thsnkfal man
goes to it with his spear he makes a
hole at the base OF one of the great
leaves, and out 'spouts stream of
fresh, pure, and almost ice-cold water.
Each leaf has about quart to yield
aud no matter how hot or dry the
weather, it never fails.
But even yet the good tree has a
service to perform. When the dry
season comes around the houses very
naturally become dry too, and then
they take FIRE very easily OF course
there are no fire engines there, nor any
pumps even, and so fire might easily
spread and burn down a whole village
if there were not always at hand ar
extinguisher of some sort. There
stands the tree with its leaves charged
with water, and when fire occurs
the men run and tear off the leaves
and with them beat the burning house
The water runs out and the fire yields
There then, is tree which gives t.
man, his house, his carpet, his foun
tain of pure water, and his fire extin
guisher. The botanical name OF thi
friend of man is Uuania specsoea; tn
common name is Travellers Tree
and foolish name it's, too, for it i
more tree for the native than for tn
traveller.

Quaint Dresses for Children.
Boston Transcript

For children's clothes there is scarce.
ly any change in style. The smaller
the child the longer skirts it wears,
until the merest toddler wear gowns
cut to their feet. Yokes are largely
employed, with wide sashes of the
material, in wash goods, tying around
the entire waist or only across the
back. Instead of the usual high neck
the summer dresses for little girls are
cut out rounding and half low, while
the short puffed sieve makes a simple
finish to the frill around the neck.
Older girls wear vests and yokes set
in of tucked muslin or ready-made
embroidery in white, or else the mat
erial itself outlined in the gingham or
striped pattern with a few rows in
contrasting color Of easy "briar stitch
ing" Strawberry colored cottondress
es, instead Of the Turkey red, have
white yokes and the back hanging full
like an apron, while there is belt in
the front only Other dresses o.
Chambray gingham are cut like
yoke apron, except that in each side
panel is outlined Of Hamburg stitched
on so as to form continuing lattice
or trellis work, that is the inserting il
laid on in q number of diamond
shaped squares, showing the materia
in the center. The same idea is car
ried out for wooden dresses in velve
ribbon or broad Hercules braid.
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1885-05-07

Quaint little peasant dresses have
white sleeves as well as guimpe, or
neck piece of embroidery or tucked
muslin. Wbei plain null is used,
which is very beautiful, it is simply
gathered in to as much ful'ness as the
binding will hold. 1t is finished with
q rufie, which lies down fat around
the neck, and in the same way back
upon the sleeve. The tendencies are
to shorten waists, fuller skirts and
tha Dutch styles of the little "Sir
Joshus" subjects. Some Of he little
waists are even cut mot point, with a
straight ruffle, by way OF overskirt,
gathered in at the waist with the dress
skirt. The all-over embroidered
flouncings, which come very wide and
have their own finish at the bottom
edge, can be used for both white skirts,
at the piece that comes off of the upper
one may be used for yokes or sleeves.
Tucked main sock is another fsvorite
material, solid colored ginghams,
Chambrsys, and al the solid colored
percales in dark blues and reds are
used, and can be combined with sashes
and bows of plain gingham or white
embroidery.
Genuine long-sleeved pinafores,
with yokes, have come in again ii
London, and are sold by the firms who
make the most expensive clothes fol
children. India silks are used fol
them, and also the traditional brown
Holland.

THE CLOVER TEA CURE.
How Gen. Grant Received Help in His
Affections.

A special to the Chicago Times from
Omaha on the 9th says United States
Senator Stanford, of California, ac-
companied by his wife and niece, spent
to day in Omaha and left for San
Francisco. In regard to Gen. Grant.
whom he has been endeavoring to in
duce to accept an invitation to go to
California, he said that he had left the
General last Thursday night, and that
his condition was then more hopeful
than at any time during his illness
He was more vigorous in body and
mind, and seemed in fair way to get
we'll with proper treatment. Senator
Stanford was unable to say whether
Gen. Grant would come to California,
as there was a great deal of opposition
to his taking such long trip, as it
was thought he could not stand it.
But If he could possibly make the
journey everything would be done to
induce him to come.
The cure of Gen. Grant is attributed
by Senator Stanford to the use OF clo-
yer tea for the past three or four
weeks. Among the numerous letters
received by Mrs Grant suggesting
various remedies clover tea was urged
by the majority of writer's, and this So
influenced her that she finally insisted
on giving it trail at once. The doc.
tors said they had no objections
although they had no faith in i,
whatever. They gave it trial of
one week or ten days and then drop
ped it. Mrs Grant and the family
however, continued to give 1t to the
General without the knowledge of the
doctors, and have kept it up ever
since. His improvement was notice,
able from the time he began taking it
Senator Stanford had friend ma
med Bishop who some years ago had
cancer break out in three different
places on his face and neck. The
best physicians in the country treated
him, but failed to do him any good
Finally an old doctor of Jersey City
recommended clover tea as purifier
of blood and possible remedy for can
cerous diseases. Bishop tried 1t, an(
was cured. Stanford rays that Gen
Grant told him that at three differen
times he would have died had not tn
doctor been present to revive him will
stimulants. Stanford himself wa
present one time when Grant was un
conscious for FIVE minutes, and a
another time when he nearly strangle'
to death. "He certainly has had som
very close calls" said Senator Stan
ford.

Don't Give it Up So.

"Oh! if I had only known that in

simple cold in the head may develop
into chronic catarrh." Well, it isn't
too late, for Ely's Cream Balm will cure
catarrh, even after the sufferers life has
become a burden to him, and he a

radical and thoroughly scientific ca

LONDON, Feb. 26.-In the House of Lords
this evening debate was resumed upon Lord
Salisbury's motion for vote of censure of
governments Egyptian policy. Earl Gran
vile, Minister of Foreign Affairs, declared
that whoever Is To hold Khartoum must
guarantee to suppress FL Madhi. 1t was not
necessary, however. that England should as
sumo this work of pacIfying the Soudan. If
England had power To carry out the work,
she should have the opportunity. Lord
NOrthbrook, FIRST Lord of Admiralty, de-
clined to answer a question calling for a
definition of the future government, which
ii was proposed TO secure for the Soudan.
In the House of Commons, speaking upon
Sir Stafford Northcote's motion of censure,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt. Home Secre-
tary. defined the Minister'S intentions re-
specting the evacuation of the Soudan by
stating that Gordon having persisted, the
only fitting manner To accomplish an hon
orable withdrawal of garrisons would be for
military forces first to recapture khartoum,
and crush FL Mahdi. He declared that if
the, Conservatives were in control of the
| Government, they could do no more than
this. Ironical laughter greeted this part of
the Secretary's remarks.

Give Him a Medal.

The two champion skaters of Muskegon
finished their engagement at the Division
street rink last evensng. The gentlemen are
average skaters and their performances have
given general satisfaction. After they had
finished their exhibition the floor was clear
ed and Master Eddie Smith, one of Grand
Rapids amateurs, gave an exhibition which
called forth the admiration and applause of
the entire audience, and put to shame the
efforts of the Muskegon champions. Mr..
Smith performs all the most difficult feats
easily and gracefully, and is aperfect marvel
upon skates. With perhaps one or two ex-
ceptions his exhibition last evening surpass-
ed any heretofore given in the city.
