7hursday. Dec. 10, 1886.

The Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette and its fifteen candle power
imitator, the Logan Republican
Gazette, are playing the bowling
dervish act, over the appointment
of a man named Dabney, as an Ex-
amiuer Of pension claims. 1t is as
serted that Dabney was rebel and
an Andersonville prison guard
The facts are that when the war
closed Dabney was only fourteen
years of age, and if he did "guard
duty" at all, it was in the capacity
of water boy to the poor prisoners.
Whilst the little boy was engaged
in this gentle service, LOngstreet
end Key were leading the flower OF
the South in savage conflict, max
Ing Antietam and Gettysburg a
slaughter yard for the tens of thous-
ands Of the bravest of the Union
soldiers. About this time1 Mosby
was shooting prisoners captured in
his guerilla raids. The lofty Reb-
els became Republicans and got
high and honarea positions, and be-
came shining saints in tho Republi.
can column.
The boy Dabney has not yet be-
came O Republican. Hence the
hiss and howl.

Death OF a Good Old Woman

We publish from the gently gildee

Of Mrs. BIoomer, of Chapel Hill.
1t may be lpdulgcd us, in these

best women wo ever knew. She
was motherly. Gentle rs a child, firm
in principle, 1ndulgsnt. ruling her

with womanly tenderness and Chris

Long years ago. when the bloom
and yigor of youth possessed spirits

favored, as We thought, sun-Iand of
st. Jose3h's, st. PatricK's, st. Rose,
and St, Dominics, a cluster as 1t

cur presumption exceeded the line
of politeness, We abandoned the
Lochinvar schemes, and felt glad |
that the Duffys and Thompsons and |
others of their kith, didn't send Ills
home in ambulances.
But whenever..it happened that We
got into trouble with the long-ar

was always our refuge.

NO SPORTS.
Washington Corr. Cleveland Leader.

President Cleveland is the only pres ident in our history who seems to have no amusements whatever. George Washington was noted for his muscular development He was fond of Humping, and to the last day of his life kept pack of hounds for hunting. He could dance upon occasions and he was careful enough of his health to go to bed every night at ten o'clock. Jefferson was q great horseback rider, and he rode throughout the country about Washing ton daily during his presidency. He usually spent two hours in the saddle, and was fond of mixing with his fellows At his home at Monticello hepaid great attention to farming, and he often walked about the streets of Washington while in the White House
 When Cleveland was inaugurated, the press was full of wonder at his getting up for breakfast at eight o'clock in the morning, and the whole nation pattcd him on the back for it. as it were, Still Washington got up at daybrcak, and Jefferson crtwled out as soon as the light struck his chamber John Adams who Was as fat proportionately as Cleveland k, used tot kc a walk from the White House around the capitol be- fore his breakfast. which by the way he took as early aS Clcvcland and his son John Quincy Adams was wont to go down to the Potomac and take a swim before hc ate his morning meal Both of the AdaluseS were great walkers, and while John Quincy Adams was presi- dent he used to walk out to the race course, two miles from here. and back again whenever any great sport was on hand Andrew Jackson was hard worker but he was democratic fellow, and he liked horse-racing, cock fighting, and Il good, social smoke He often attended the cock fights on the Wash ington heights above Sixteenth street, and at one of the great races of the days of his presidency hr had horse of hi, own admitted in the name of his pri- vate secretary Major DonrlSon. Presi- dent Harrison Was Il great walker, and he did much of his own marketing dur ing his short stay in the White House. He would get up and go to market be- fore breakfast and though he was an old man he often went about without an overcfat. Frank Pierce was another great horseback rlder, and he was acCus- toned to gallop through the streets of Washington at midnight on fine blooded steed
 Buchanan Was great beau socially, and Il" did some walking. Lincoln drove about somewhat, and 1t was not uncommon to see him on the streets here. He liked the theatre, amt box was always reserved for him. Grant walked up and down the broad pave ment in front of the White House for an hour or two every morning, and his love of horses and driving amounted to Il passion. He was not aVcrSc to having fellows call upon him in the evening and he partook of much social enjoy ment. Hayes reign was great one so- cially and Arthur kept his house filled with guests, and took long drive into the country daily

Barnum He, too, loves the good things of this life One afternoon the two were sitting to- gether on the hotel veranda. Barnum was spinning one of the yarns for which he is famous He broke of suddenly in the middle of his story with the remark
 Say, Phmbus, why don't you ever serve pigs feet for breakfast?
 Because they're not fit to eat, lacon- ically replied Mir PhTbus.
 They re not, eh? I'll cure you ofthat belief Got cook you can trust?'
 Several of them. responded the astonished Phu.bus.

 The cook followed instructions. and the next day Mir PhWhus took break fast with Mr and Mrs. Barnum and the friend who tells the story Mr. PhTbus ate of them, and ate heartily. They just touched his taste, and supplied a long felt want When the pigs feet had disappeared MT. Phubus comment was Say, Barnum, that s food lit for king
