Bloody Dicks maiden name was

a half ago he was approached by some
very bad men indeed. and while tempo

said they wanted ''Bloody's' blarsted

The Tale Of the Sewing Machine.

The romantic tale of the sewing machine
has been often told, but it deserves repetition.
1t runs something like this: Thirt y-six years
ago Isaac VI. Singer, then youn., mechanic
of inventive genius, through the suggestion Of
q friend examined one Of those rude attempts
at sewin-s machine construction which was on
exhibition la Boston. 1t was an utter failure.
Young Singers quick eye saw IL fault, AMI
he thought that he detected "A remedy. He
drew a design, which he submitted to his
friend Bat there was no money with which
to BULL the model, and the young mans
heart sank. Finally ono friend lent him $40
and another offered him the Use Of his
machinery and tools and worlsnsn. Days
with little food and nights withou, sleep this
tirelcss worker toiled.
At last the model was completed and its day
of trial came. 1t failed. Sick at heart, lie
brooded over it until midnight, wheh with ons
faithful companion-all the rest hal deserted
him--he started, almost desperate, for his
home Wearicd and disconsolate, .ile two
rested on pile of boards and take over tho
failure, when his comrade said: "fhs loose
loops of thread are all upon the upper side Of
the cloth" Tho young inventor say the
trouble in twinkling, and together they re-
entered the deserted workshop, q little tension
screw was tishtened, and for the frs Inc in

Queen Victoria had not been long upon the
throne beforc the path Of duty l,rl her to tho
house Of lords. The parliamentary officials
in June Of 1857, dealing with tine earliest
bills that received tho royal asscnt, betrayed
in several instances BY their monotoning Of
"I.e Roi lie veult" and ~his majesty" how much
the ancient formulas had become par, Of their
being. They soon, however, became accus-
toned 10 the young queen, since her accession
to the throne was during . political crisis
While William Nv lay in state awaiting burial
at Windsor the country was excited by pre-
parations for general election.
II so happened, therefore, that before the
queen reigned month she made her first visit
to parliament. The occasion was u proroga-
ton, and the royal message laid on the table
OF both houses on the day Succeeding tho
proclamation Of the queen stated tina, it was
exlsiieft, in the judgment of her INA jesty,
that no new measure beyond such as tho
public service rendered absolutely necessary

as for the first time she delivered "A royal
speech In the house Of lords, together with
every inci'len; IL the ceremonial, has leen

have read that the queen wore white satin
robe decorated with jewels aui gcll, the
Garter on her arm. and mantel of crimson

lords was crowded with rank nni fashion
Twice the trun,lets sounded a false alarm,
and the peers, peeresscs, and great ones of
church and state whispered TO each other that
the queens self-possession had given way in

At the third fanfare the royal provision
entered, and it was then seen tina: though the
queens face was flushed, and she SEEMED

found refuge and defense, may be, and will
be, perpetuated for all time to come if the
people but remain true to the high standard
of patriotism that was set up by the Revolu-
tionary fathers and saved from dishonor by
the men Of the Union army, that put down
rebellion and saved the country from disrup-
ton.
The need of the age and of the future, so
long as it shall be esteemed desirable that the
American Union should be preserved intact,
is, patriots to defend it against all assaults
men who love their country better than they
do their lives In civil life we must have
men who are not afraid nor averse to doing
their whole duty in politics, as in the private
walks of life. The best men are just the men
wanted at the caucus and at the polls. There
is no room for men too nice to 60 to the front
when it comes time to select those who shall
discharge public duties Nor should gag be
put in the mouth of any honest man for any
reason whatever nor can anything be
placed between him and the fullest
discharge of his duty as citizen without
harm to him and to the country of which he
is citizen. To afford support to these there
must be a just and generous people to see to it
that everything is done that should be done to
strengthen and uphold those delegated to rule
or to fight the battles of the country. A re-
public can no more afford to be mean than can
an individual. To have tall men we must
have magnanimous government To have
patriotic men there must be quick apprecia-
ton of patriotic deeds and a never-dying graf
itude for sacrifices that can never be overpaid.
Had the Rebellion succeeded, the country
would have been bankrupted for a century
and shorn of its glory forever. 1t will not do
to grow weary of attesting gratitude in less
than a quarter of century. A grander
day of reminder no people ever had since the
world has left its impress on history. It is
hard to say which of its treble events is supe-
rior to the other. That was fateful day in
Philadelphia when the few heroic men APP
pended their signatures to document as dar
ingas was ever penned by the hand of man.
1t was no less momentous a day at Gettys-
burg, when the issue was whether the war
should be carried to the doors Of the homes of
the Union. And it certainly was no less mo-
mentous day when the long contested fight
at Vicksburg terminated in favor of the great
commander, who has gone to his reward since
the last national anniversary was celebrated.
Let us dwell on these things to-day; let us cell
citrate the anniversary in a manner fitting

Washington Letter in Chicago News.
When Mrs. Kate Sprague's (nee Chasej father
died, poor man, although he had filed such
high places, he did not own burial lot and a
Washington banker and Ex-Governor OF the Dis
trict, Henry d. Cooke. offered resting place for
tho great jurist in the Cooke burial plot in Oak
Hill Cemetery. There was the Chief-justice
buried, with no stone TO mark the grave and no
care taken of the mound except what the owner
etf the lot chose to give it. After some years
friends of the dead Chief Justice, hearing OF this,
united and bought plain granite monument
shipped TO Washington, but got lost or the way.
A long time afterward 1t was found boxed up in
warehouse. where it had lain unnoticed and un-
claimed. Then other friends of the Chief Justice,
unwilling to appeal to Mrs. Sprague, paid out OF
their own pockets the small cost Of putting the
stone in place This is the way the Ghiaf Justice
got q tombstone.

that is their DUE injustice should not be done
to others as worthy of praise
And, also, it will not do for the defenders of
the evangelists &c esssume that they and their
methods cannot be questioned. One of the
strangest things in the world is to hear Sam
Jones, full Of the severest structures upon the
church and the every day preachers, singing
them with his sharp thrusts, and berating
their ineficiency, and the next day to hear
him complaining because he has been criti-
cised. It is an odd exhibition of the unchar-
itableness of human nature at its BEST to see
people sitting under Jones's severe castiga-
tions of people, applauding his words to the
echo, and then hear them, day after abusing
some one else because he may have dared
to call in question the propriety of
ing was more intolerant and intolerable,
almost, than Mr.. Jones's constant and repeat
ed attacks upon the churches while here; yet
when one of our city pastors, in obedience to
an imposed task, spoke in righteous and truth
full words of the church, the admirers of
Jones fall to abusing him like very drab.
What DIR. Mcleod said in Tomlinson Hall on
last Sunday night was the sober, gospel truth.
It was needful that it be said, and it is honor
able to him that he had the Christian courage
and manhood to say it at the time he did, and
under the circumstances. Phenomena like
Jones, and tae Salvation Army, and Sisters
Woodworth and Mershom, must need come
into the religious world as phenomena come
into the intellectual and material world, but
not many sensible people will be misled into
the belief that deluges are of more value than
the early and the latter rains, because they
make more noise and attract more attention.

The charity associations of Eastern cities
have already begun to carry out the plan
adopted several years ago of sending poor chill
dren into the country where they may enjoy
the benefits of pure air and pure fare and
escape the sitting atmosphere of their own
homes for few dAysat least. Arrangements
are made with farmers to take the little ones
and care for them for certain time. A small
amount is paid for their board where necessary,
but as rule the country people, even those
of small means, decline remuneration and
gladly contribute their assistance towards put
ting new life and health into the youngsters.
Something of this same sort might be
undertaken by the kindergarten associations of
this town. indianapolis is regarded by many
as partaking largely of the qualities of a coun-
try town, and day in the woods is certainly
not such an unattainable luxury as in some
places; but if l, 200 children and their mothers
can be found to welcome the opportunity af-
forded by the 'fresh-ai fund" picnic to spend
few hours among green fields, there must
be many among the number who would profit
them might, at least, be given brief outing
and there would doubtless be no lack of CO.
operation in the furtherance of such project
on the part of the benevolently disposed.

that Mr.. Garland was afflicted with SO overpow-
ering an appetite for Intoxicating beverages that
he was obliged in selfdefense, to arrest the dan
ger of having wine offered him. The latest yer.
sion Of the motive supposed to actuate him is,
that on entering public life he decided that par
ticipation in social pleasures and faithful atten-
tion to his duties as public man, were incom-
patible, and he thereuuon made VOW to abstain
from the distractions of fashionable dinners, re-
ceptions and the like One or the other of these
