John A. Logan took his seat as the sue
cessor Of Governor Oglesby He he'd been
absent from the Senate two wears, and re-
turned with the renewed Endorsement Of the
great State which he had faithfully served in
war and in peace He had been in Con-
gress before the rebellion. He was first
a candidate for the House of Representa-
iIves IN the wear Of the famous contest be-
tween Lincoln and Douglas, and was par
usan supporter and personal friend of the
latter. He changed his political relations
when he found himself summoned TO the
held in defence Of the Union Gen Logan's
services at that time were peculiarly impor-
tant. He lived in tina, section of Illinois
whose inhabitants were mainly people Of
Southern blood, and whose natural sym-
pathies might have led them into mischiev-
Gus ways but for his stimulating example
and efforts. The Missouri border was near
them on one side. the Kentucky border on
another, and if the Southern Ilinoissns had
been betrayed, in any degree, into dis
loyal course the military operations Of the
government In that section would have been
greatly embarrassed. Gen Logan did not
escape without Misrepresentation at that
critical time. but the impartial judgment of
ms countrymen has long since indicated
his course as one of exceptional courage
and devoted patriotism. His military ca
reer was brilliant and successful and his
subsequent course 10 Congress enlarged his
reputation. Indeed no man in the country
has combined military and legislative ca
reer with the degree of success in both which

The Latest Society Whim.

" The latest craze which has struck
the Washington belle is the carrying
Of canes. A few weeks ago young
leader in society returned from En-
gland, and the next day she surprised
her friends by appearing on the streets
with cane. 1t wasn't the Ordinary
dude cane, but a nice little stick with a
shepherd S crook of hammered silver.
Sometimes she swung it and at other
times she struck the ground with a
sharp rap. There is no question that
this created a sensation, but there is a
great deal Of difference of opinion as
to whether the craze will strike in OF
not So far not more than half dozen
girls have mustered up courage enough
to appear on the street with canes.
The probabilities are that the craze
will not extend to that point where il
will seriously interfere with the ordi-
nary everyday happiness of the mod
ern dude. = Washington Letter. ,..

Subsection to moods is tho mark Of q
deteriorating morality. There is no
baser servitude than that Of the man
whose caprices are his master, and a
nation composed of such men could not
long preserve its liberties. This is a
truth that the young must lay to heart
1t will be sorry day for this world,
and all the people in it, when every
body makes his moods hismasters, aud
does nothing butwhat he is inclined to
do. The need Of training the will to
the performance Of work that is dis
tasteful; of making the impulses serve
instead Of allowing them to rule tho
higher reason; of subjugating the
moods instead Of being subjugatd by
them, lies at the very foundation Of
character. 1t is possible to learn to
fix the wandering thought, to compel
tho reluctant mental energy, to conse.
crate the power upon the performance
of q task to which there is no inclina.
tion. Until this victory has been
gained, life holds no sure promise; the
achievement Of this conquest is the
condition of future success. No mat
