out from Washington that he had
failed in an attempt to secure his

pleaded and couNed that the nominal

he never raised bis finger to get his

RICHMOND VA, March 15.-The
old Confederate battle flag at the
Southern Soldiers Home was at
half-post to day out of respect to
I" Old Sorrel," Stonewall Jackson's
war horse, who died this morning
at six o'clock. Many of the old
soldiers watched him tenderly dur
ing the night, and were with him
when he died. Old Sorrelr was
thirty-two years of age, wounded
twice during the war, and was the
last surviving horse of the Confed.
crate army. A taxidermist was at
once set to work upon him, and Will
stnff and mount the hide, which will
be placed in the Soldiers Home.
The animal, after Jackson's death.
was placed at the Virginia Military
Institute, and no one was allowed
to ride him. He was taken to the
New Orleans Exposition, and al
though kindly cared for by the sol
diers at the Home. it is thought that
the trip fatally injured him.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

With the Beer Gardens, Nihilis-
tic Parades, Communistic Mobs,
Collegiate Singing Matches, Prize
Contests, Moonlight Lynching Elk
cursions, Executive and Senate
Sparring Rounds, Baltimore Mayor
and Council Fights, with which the
daily press abounds in graphic ac-
counts, this enlightened and chris
tianized civilization is fast approach
ing a cannibal era or Spanish Bull
Fight and Roman Gladiatorialreign.
1t is certainly time for the Amer.
lean people to frown upon these in
creasingly cruel sports, when the
lightweight collegiates punish each
other so badly with gloves in the
presence of large and fashionable
audience of ladies and gentlemen
as to cause the dear ones to faint
away at the sight. This is sad
commentary on our humanity. On
this ground Of reasoning the scien
lists evolution theory may yet rest
on cats and dogs.

HOW 1T WOULD WORK:

The tangled web of tariff revision
can be tangled up great deal more
than it is already if the tariff peo
pie turn out in force and insist on
being heard. The Neac York Iri-
bune has been showing up some OF
the inconsistencies of the Morrison
bill, so far as 1t aims to reduce du-
ties. The alteration of the duty on
sugar will not restrict its importa-
ton a pound, but simply change the
grade of the sugar-the polariscOpe
test.
Take the ore matter. Suppose
ore was made free. The simple
minded free trader imagines, or is
supposed to imagine that ore would
be 20 cents per ton cheaper. Ore
would simply advance that much at
primary sources of supply.
Mr.. Morrison would help foreign
producers largely, and small part
of American consumers little, but
would throw away revenue of $780,
600, would drive from employment
great number of miners in Eas-
tern States, and would compel others
to work at starvation wages or to
oec Uurlr pluurs taken by imported
foreign miners. Does he really think
that would help the country as a
whole Iron.

In the last issue of BrddstreetS is
an article upon the industrial STU
alton, in which, after stating that
the number of strikes at the centers,
East and West, is far in excess OF
the record at any previous time, a
detailed estimate is made of the
numbers now unemployed as com.
pared with a year and quarter
ago. when similar estimate was
published. 1t is noted that through
out the South east of the Mississippi
andin the Northwest there is a mark
ed freedom from complications be-
tween employees and employers, but
in other parts of the country there
are many strikes and boycotts on a
large scale, and BradStreet's CON-
putes the number now on strike
east OF the Rocky Mountains at not
less than $1,000 as against 1850 in
December, 1884. Classifying the
strikes, it makes the total of strik-
ing bituminous coal miners 21,4S0 /:
textile workers, 1880; boot and
shoe employees, 4,O7G; nail workers,
1000, and railroad men in the South
west 5000. This indicates very
serious condition of affairs, and I'M
questionably the situation is in sew
eral respects serious one.-Ameri-

CINCINNATI. March 1S.-A short
time ago Esquire Bo1rman, of Avon
dale, subui b of Cincinnati, lost a
suit involving $500. This so pre-.
ed upon the mind of his wife that it
is supposed she became deranged.
This morning Mr.. Bohrman heard a
noise IN his wite'S bedroom, in which
his two sons also slept, and attemp.
ted to enter, bnt found the door
loo k e d. Everything becoming
still he did not at once force an en-
trance, but when he did get into the
room he found his wife dead, with
her throat cut with a razor; his son
Albert, fourteen years old, also dead,
with bis throat cut, and another son,
Arthur, severely ifnot fatally wound
ed by blow on the head with a
hammer. Arthur was able to say
that his mother came to him some
time in the night and told him to go
to sleep; that he did fall to sleep,
and was awakened by a blow on
his head. He ran to the door and
found it locked. He tried to remove
the lock, but she struck him again.
Then he heard his father at the
door, but could give no alarm, and
then his mother killed herself.

Caricatures of American sneech

A celebrated English reader once
asked me to go and hear him read, as he
wanted to hear the candid opinion of an
American on his methods of initiating
the American vernacular at his public
entertainments. / have some experience
of the manner in which the people of
this planet receive candid opinions, and
so I candidly refused and candidly gave

made him the more persistent and so at
last / weakly consented.
spent an hour and half of agony.
After it was over told him with the
candidness he had desired that his Amer
can limitations were by all odds the most
villainous, hbelous caricatures of Ameri-
can speech that it had ever been my evil
fortune to listen to. He said, quite
good-naturedly, that he had long sus-
pected it, but that he did not intend to
change the style, as the people of Eng
land expected that sort of thing, and of
course he merely supplied a public de-
mand.-Cor. Detroit Free Press.

VIM. Higgins, who died on
Sunday last at Tamaqua, Pa, in his
eighty-sixth year, was not only the
Oldest resident of that place, but the
first locomotive engine fireman in
America. In 1881 the Little Schayl-
kill Railroad Company purchased
three locomotives in London, and
they were brought to Tamaqua to
take the place of the horses used on
their road between that point and
the canal at Port Clinton. George
Main and John Bower accompan-
led the engines to this country and
put them in running order. Mr..
Higgins, a miner, was transferred
to the first engine put in order, the
Comet, to act as fireman. Robert
Burt, who was also working in the
mines OF the company, was made
engineer. The names of the other
engines were the Tamaqua and the
Catawissa.

Labor troubles are increasin

Labor troubles are increasing
everywhere, and affect all kinds of
trade. Their actions are assuming
system and unity of purpose, which
give strength in object and &C
complishment. Abandoning force,
the cause of labor has gained to its
side the sympathy of the public and
the protection of the law. No doubt
but that labor is oppressed and I'M
derpaid by great corporations, but
there are honest employers who can.
not pay higher wages the way times
are, and the difficulty of doing a
money business. Fairminded labor
and honest capital under such cir
cumstances should come to be best
terms possible for the benefit of
both. A good idea would be to APP
point a joint committee to call upon
the administration in search of the
"good times, high wages and plenty
of work" promised, but which were
lost, strayed or stolen; also to call
upon the free.traders for their pan.

rosy stump speakers and false-tuned
party organs Of last fall, and look up
unredeemed pledges and promises
forgotten. Better get things straight
now, for future reference.
