have Democratic Administration -
said he, 81 notice that the tendency
of society is more aristocratic than
ever" Another replied, "Of course
it is. The genuine democracy of
the country went out of power last
March. Nine-tenths of the Repub-
lican voters are too democratic to
belong to the Democratic party. All
that was anti-republican in official
society here during the last twenty
four years of Republican rule, has
been copied this year with exagger-
ated emphasis"
Attorney General Garland, of Pan
Electric fame, is credited with fur
nishing the Jeffersonian simplicity
for the Administration, while Sec
rotary Whitney furnishes the mag.
nificence. Mr.. Garland abiures state
dinners, and has said that he will
never! no, neverl wear a swallow
tail coat. Mr.. Whitney il the dude
of the Cabinet, and is wealthy. He
delights in display and is never tired
of adding to the rich collection of
artistic belongings with which his
residence here is furnished. He
bought $4,000 worth of bric-a-brac
frorc one New York dealer alone.
The Secretaries of State and War,
Bayard and Endicott, furnish the
blue blood of the Cabinet, each
coming from ancestral lines of pill
grim and cavalier. They are both
dignified in person, of comfortable
fortunes, and born aristocrats. No
one would ever think of approach
ing these gentlemen with Pan-Elec-
trio to obtain the influence of their
exalted positions to give it intrinsic
value, and neither of these gentle.
men would appear on an evening
social occasion without swallow tails.

GENERAL HANCOCK died a poor
man, but he left the rich lagacy to
his family and his countrymen of a
spotless name. Such a patriot in
his dying hour should ever feel that
he may safely trust his dear ones
Immediately dependent upou him to
the care of the American people, and
should never be disappointed. What
the Nation or the generous public
chooses to give will not be charity,
but small payment Of the great
obligation due to a gallant and faith
full soldier at all times and every
where prompt in the performance of
duty.

Obituary..

HoBsoN. Mary f. Sawyer wife of Hon.
s. ID. Hobson, died at her home in East
Brighton on the evening of December 8,
1886. She was too well known to need
many words of comtnendation now. She
lives in the hearts of those who knew her
best. Being strongly attached to home and
loved ones, she made an heroic struggle to
overcome disease, and though unable, in
death she was victor. She was in the full
est sense helpmeet. Interested in all ma
terial concerns of her husband, she was
safe and able adviser. Great difficulties
only nerved to greater effort. She honored
the name of mother, living TO see all her
children openly serving God, Food and
raiment were incidents of this life, mind
and soul culture developing of the eternal
life. Her interest was not confined to her
own family. She loved the church of Christ
the Sunday school, in which she was many
years a teacher, and every Christian activ
ity. Her home was a Christian home,
her influence a Christian influence Pos
sessing decided character, more than ordi-
nary powers, strong will she consecrated
all to her Master, thus becoming greatly
useful in sustaining and encouraging all
that was elevating and ennobing. Such
wives such mothers, such Christians mag
Nifty their position, bless humanity and
honor God. Her example cannot fail to be
an inspiration to many and her influence
must long be felt among those who knew
her. While sorely bereaved, her husband
and children have only bright memories,
and can look forward with glad anticipa-
tions. May all that was noblest in her life
be reproduced in the lives of her children.
The church, the community mourns with
those who mourn, yet rejoices in her tri-
umphS

veyor and decided to erect the slide in
the locality POLITICALLY called Butcher
Run on the east side Of East Liberty
street St nearly lly,r,p opposite , the residence
once and the slide will be opened to the
public next week, with the formal opening
on New Years day. 1t will be about sixty
feet high, with pleasant waiting-room at
the top, and the whole slide will be lighted
each evening, when open, by two thousand
candle-power arc lights. Tobogganing is
the most exhilarating, and to many the
most fascinating, of winter sports, and it is
certainly one of the most healthfu. The
new slide cannot fail to make pleasant
many of the short winter afternoons and
long winter evenings and we believe that it
will be literally patronized.
Soon after two o'clock yesterday after
noon smoke was discovered issuing from
the roof of the block on the sonth side of
East State street just east of the old Free
man building, owned by ID. w. Dudley and
divided into five tenements of two stories
each. The first of these, beginning at the
westerly end, was rented by Henry Sever
ance, the next by Mrs. Addie Alexander,
the third by Mrs. Lucretia Ramsdell. the
fourth by w. ID. Smith and the fifth by +. A.

roof in the Severance tenement and prob
ably caught from the chimney in some way.

results of an application of Berlin water.
