An Old MANS Work.

literary and musical production from one of its
old-time readers, Mr.. N. K. Hosea, of Bartle,
Ind. 1t is the manuscript for a Republican cam
paign song book. and is one of the carefullest
works of the kind that ever came under our OBJ
servation. It is neatly and accurately written
on foclscap paper. but one side of the leaf being
used, the author evidently respecting that law of
the printing Office that will not countenance any
thing written on both sides of the sheet. The
author of this work, for it is a very formidable
one. covering no less then 152 pages, is a man
sixty three years of age. But despite his years
it is apparent that he has retained much of the
fire and eloquence of his younger days, and he
has done work here that would reflect great
credit upon any man. In all these pages there

touching on the reasons or influences bringing
about their marriage. That IL 10 q happy union
no one can doubt. There is no overdemonstra-
ton of affection, but 1t exists and is genuine.
Mrs. Douglass's father has never been recon
ciled TO her marriage. but her mother and sis
tiers. who were deeply grieved at the time, have
recently visited her. Her uncle's family.
who have resided here for some
years, have not forgiven her, and
hold no intercourse with her in any way. It is
said that when they 90 to Europe her father will
come to Washington to visit his brother. but
that while his daughter and her husband are
here he will not come. Perhaps it 10 not strange
that Douglass should have wished to marry this
woman, somewhat his equal Intellectually. She
is an attractive woman. On the other hand,
Mrs. Douglass is very much in love with her
husband. That she admires and is proud of him
is plain to be seen. She is not a woman of I'M
pulses, but one of strong, sustained character,
and, so far from ever regretting the step which
led her to marry Douglass. she Is rather growing
happier and more satisfied, as she seems the
more sure of her affection for him. OF course.
she could never have doubted his love for her.

the ages; but there Ia much that Is excellent,
much that Is little less than marvellous, when
the age Of the writer is taken into considera-
ton. The tunes, sixty-two in number, are all
written out In the quaint, old-fashioned sebuck-
wheat notes, such as were in use a generation
ago. The simple work Of writing these out, for
many of them cover two and more pages each,
must have been very great. Accompanying the
music are original words. sometimes as many az
ten or a dozen stanzas to each tune, and not
unfrequently several songs to each tune. Mr..
Hosea does not claim that all the music is
original-in truth a great portion of it is made
up of well-remembered tunes, familiar to the
older generation. Some Of these he has modi-
fed to suit the character of the accompanying
verse, and some are used as they were
written. Singers of fifty years and up
ward will find many old favorites, among
them, such as .'Old Dan Tucker" 'Auld Lang
Syne," "Coms Along Joe, /" s'Corn-cracker y Rae
coon,1 Haul Away" "Philo," "Rowdydow,"
s'Mahone." Victory .'Green Gulf" "Rasp-
berry" s'Kazad" and Liberty Trse," the last
being written by Tom Paine, and first published
in 1775. The idea of Mr.. Hosea is to have this
book published for use in Republican campaigns.
It would doubtless stir up the blood of a good
many old-time Republicans, at the recollection OF
the campaigns of long ago. The publication OF
such a work, however, is not possible by the Jour
nal, and If published at all must be put in print
by some firm equipped with the necessary mate
rails for such work. But whether published or
not. it should be carefully preserved by the rela-
tives and friends of the author. 1t Ia something
that they will never have occasion to be ashamed

the finest men | ever saw was a coachman in
his prime, who. to save a woman from the jaws
of the wolf, engaged in an epic struggle with the
rabid animal. / did not know what his anteced-
ents were when he entered, and was SO struck
with his quietly resolute air and lordly carriage
that l asked whether he was also a noble
man in difficult circumstances. He saw the
wolf on the woman, and went up TO seize 1t by
the scruf of the neck, knowing that if he did so
it would relax its hold to turn on him. lie
meant to hold it in such a way that it could not
bite him until he or somebody else could kill the
brute, but it was too quick for him and caught
him by the left arm. He seized the neck with
the right hand and, getting astride on the wolf,
pressed it down with all his weight on the
ground and then got a knee firmly on its loirs.
When the brave Moujik coachman, with his left
arm all the time in the mad VOLTS mouth. was
kneeling on the animal, he saw a Ratchet and

rabid adversary should perish, and, making q
supreme effort, got it between his knees, with
which he held the body tight, threw himself for

and with the left hand inflicted such a blow on
the neck and shoulders as to cleave the body in

he did not seem to know he was worthy OF any

Some of the writer's for newspapers having, Ia
commenting upon Miss Cleveland's visit to the
theater with Miss Van Vechten and without O
male escort, appeared to DO ignorant of the facs
that this has long been a practice with Washing
ton ladies. IL becomes proper to mention that q
number of matrons in high social position in
Washington have for some years been in the
habit of going to the theater and elsewhere with
young ladies, unattended by gentlemen. Last
spring one party for the opera was composed en-
tirely of ladies, a married lady and several young
girls. and the opera occurring at a theater where
a request is made regularly on the programme
that the audience promenade been acts the
young girls in couples walked about during the
entr'actes.
The wife of the late Senator Charles Sumner
during the time she was married to him, used TO-
take one or more other ladies with her to the
theater and have no male escort at such times.
Twenty years ago Mrs. John Sherman, wife of
Senator Sherman, expressed surprise when q
widow from Louisville, KY, told her that she
and her daughter had not attended a party to
which Mrs. Sherman had invited them because
they had no escort, and Mrs. Sherman said she
never though of waiting for her husband to es-
cort her aud his niece ian elder sister of Mrs.

do so, so she and Miss Sherman went everywhere
alone together.
A lady entirely alone, or two ladies together,
are often seen as late as 10 or Ii o'clock at night
on the streets in the most frequented parts of
Washington, and gentlemen of high position,
who are very careful of their wives and dangh-
ters, never object to their going about in the
thickly-settled and most respectable parts of
the city at night alone. The only instances OF
respectable women being molested in any way

PRISON STATISTICS.

The Atlanta Constitution, in view of the
soon to meet in that city, develops some very
interesting facts in connection with the SUBJ
iect of criminals and criminal laws, with
reference to the treatment of men condemned
to Imprisonment. It has discovered from
some source that the ratio Of c~onvicts has
steadily increased during the pasta very
deplorable fact to contemplate. In 1850,
according to the Constitution, there were
6,737 prisoners in confinement in the United
States, the ratio being one criminal in every
3,442 inhabitants. In 1860 the prisoners
numbered Is, 0S6, or one in every 1,647. In
1870 the number had risen to 1901, and the
ratio was one in 1,021. In 1880 the number
Of criminals reached a total of SO, 258, and
the ratio was one convict to every 836 free
men. These are astounding figures, and must
greatly surprise the believer in the progress
of mankind to a better condition. Super
fcially they indicate that there is o steady
tendency to worse things. Unless some turn
In the tide is effected, the inevitable result
would seem to be that ultimately the greater
part of humanity viii be behind the walls of
prisons, while the demand will be for enough
men to guard them. Without ~disputing the
trustworthiness of the figures given, it is i'm
possible to believe that the human family is
steadily growing more wicked and vicious.
Such a thing cannot be admitted without
callenging the integrity and advantages of
higher civilization. If the refnements and
the higher education that have done SO much
to polish society have only served to gid a
rotten condition Of the moral nature Of man.
then Is the philosophy of the world badly at
fault, and new bearings viii have to be taken
and q new course pursued. There is some
explanation Of this seeming reflection on the
condition of society. To discover what it is
and to improve the moral makeup of mankind
