sketch of Gen. LOgan's Lite.

John Alexander Logan was of Scotch Irish
descent. His father, who was a physician,
emigrated to this country from Ireland and
settled in the State of Maryland, subsequent
" removing to Kentucky, then to Missouri,
and finally to Illinois. His mother was Miss
Elizabeth Jenkins. a native of Tennessee.
John Alexander Logan was born Feb. 9, 1924
in Jackson county, Illinois. His boyhood
was spent on farm and he was brought up
to hard work. The public schools in his
neishborhood we're poor and little was to be
got from them, but young Logan had the good
fortune to have competent private tutor dur
ing part of his boyhood, which somewhat
made up for his lack of school privileges.
When the Mexican war broke out young Lo-
gan enlisted as private and was afterwards
chosen as second lieutenant of one of the
companies of his regiment, which was the
First Illinois. Subsequently he was detached
to act as quartermaster.
After the war was over. aud he had return

Grant and Logan were fast friends for
twenty four years. One of our exchanges

Democratic Loss of OppOrs

PHILADELPHIA, June 2l.-The
Press says editorially: The Demo
cratic party leaders have again lost
the opportunity and shown their
inability to reform the tariff. 1t
must be done by the Republicans
when it is done. The Republicans
will go before the people this Fall
with the Morrison bill pending.
The issue with the people will be,
do you want tits sort of Tariff
bill which destroys certain agricul-
tural interests and revises no de-
fects of the law, or do you want
the Irregularities of the tariff care
fully corrected with fairness to all
interests? After haying repeatedly
failed, are the people likely to trust
the Democratic party again?

PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY.

Manning and Cleveland are built the
same way. They look so much alike that
they are often taken for each other, and
they were known at Albany as the two
Dromios. Manning's sickness has called
attention to the condition of the presi-
dent, and to his habits of life. Cleveland
works all the time, and takes very little
rest. He rises early, dresses, washes, and
shaves himself, and then sits down to
read the newspapers until breakfast
time. Between and he has his break
fast, and he eats moderately. After break
fast he does not exercise at all, but goes
Immediately to his office, and sits down 10
work. He looks over his private letters,
and answers such of these as can not be
ntrusted to others. He does not use
stenographer, but pushes the pen himself,
turning off sheet after sheet of smooth
manuscript as fast us his fat hand can
travel over the paper. Before he is
through with these his time for pub
gin to come. Many of these
are prominent and influential, and the
president has to think well how he treats
them. Each has a different story TO tell,
and different subject to discuss. The
president InlHu Is On COHtiuuOuS hlrHiu,
and such strain as would set wild the
ordinary thinker. At IL O'Clock there
will be hundred offceseekers ready to
call upon him, and every other morning
questions of state policy are to be dis
cussed in the cabinet At O'Clock the pre-
sident leaves his Office and rushes down
to lunch He eats like Wall street bro
ker, and then after five minutes of shaking
hands with the visiting throng in the east
room, he rushes back into his office and
pounds away until nearly nightfall. Now
and then he takes ride in the afternoon,
and he did do this regularly for time.
He has his dinner early, and after II goes
back to his office and works away far into
the night. He does not go out to recep-
tions or dinners. He spends little time
calling upon his democratic friends, and
you do not hear of leading statesmen
going up to the White House and having
a jolly evening with the president, as has
been the custom in days past. 1t would
be better for the country if Cleveland
were married. His wife would get him
away from his work, and there would be
less danger of his breaking down.
