CoNFEDERATEs' DISABILITIES.
Mr. Herbert's Sill to Make 1t FOssi-
BILE for Southern Soldiers to Serve
the Union.

Mr. Herbert,s Bill to Make 1t FOssi-
bic for Southern Soldiers to Serve
the Union.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA bill has been
introduced by Congressman Herbert, of
Alabama, to remove the disabilities of ex-
Confederate soldiers and to make them eli
gible for appointment in the army or navy
of the United States. Mr.. Herbert's bill is
a good one. and his advocacy of it is able,
sincere and honest. He says that because
of the Cutting affair in Texas large num-
bers of the eX-Confederate soldiers in Ala
bama became SO angry and earnest in their
Indignation with Mexico that they wanted
to organize troops for the service, in the
event of war with Mexico. That Dire w
their attention to the fact that they could
not serve the United States in the capacity
of either soldier or sailor This brought
the subject to the attention of Mr.. Herbert,
and he introduced his bill for the patriotic
purpose of obviating any such difficulty in
the future. He said:
.Now, in case of war with foreign power
the government would be very glad to avail
herself of all the eX-COnfederates. Their
experience would be of great benefit, for
they would add trained officers to 10th the
army and navy. To pass this bill after a
war had been declared would be necessity
ard would then be considered by the South
as an act of eXpediency. If, on the con-
trary, the bill should become law in time
Of peace it would be accepted as gracious
act well worthy of forgving nation and
would. l believe go far toward healing the
still ranking sores and animosites that lie
hidden by force of human nature in the
heart of many southerner."

NOT A CANDIDATE.
Gov. Lees Sensible Advice to the
Democrats of Virginia.

RICHMOND, Dec. 12.-Gov. Lee denies
that he is candidate for the United States
senate, to succeed Senator Malone. He
says: Il have never written or spoken
one word to any one in reference to the
next United States senator from Virginia.
nor have [ been informed of any action on
the part of any friends with any such pur-
pose in view. If the Virginia Democrats
are wise they will begin at once to repair
their fences in order to secure majority of
the next house of delegates (the senate will
be Democratlc), instead of specializing so
far in advance on prospective senatOrships.
For, unless they are more active and vigi-
liant in some parts of the state than they
were at the recent congressional elections,
the party will not have United States SEN
atorship to beStOw upon any one"

Mrs. CIeveIand's Bust.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The bust of
Mrs. Cleveland is being sold in the lobies
of the capitol. An ,Italianized Yankee of
the name of Milicid has made mould from
the photographs of Mrs. Cleveland, frem
which he is producing statuettes to the
number of several hundred daily. He
charges $3.50 apiece for them, and the
sales are considerable The bust of Mr..
Cleveland has been sold for year past,
and as work of art is far superior to that
which has now been made of Mrs. Cleve-
land. 1t is wretched counterfeit of the
mistress of the White hJuse, but probably
is slightly better as work of art than JOS
eph Keppler's cOlored sketch of her, which
was only little bit better than the photo
graphs made of Mrs. Cleveland last sum-
mer by the leading photographer on Penn
sylvania avenue.

Sawyer as a Eric h maker.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Sawyer
is not going into the brickmaking business
so much as he seems to be. Not very long
ago he assisted friend of his. who was en-
gagged in the brickmaking business in Alex
andria in the generous way for which the
senator is noted. and financial embarrasS-
ment having come upon the concern the
senator has turned round and made himself
still more generous by buying out the busi-
ness and giving it some of his personal
attention. He goes down to Alexandria
every other day, and probably with his
well-known business habits the gentleman
whom he is assisting will come out all right.

Wants Indemnity.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Col. Burchard,
of Wisconsin, is present in Washington to
prosecute before congress the claim of his
state to indemnity for swamp lands sold by
the government The bill prepared to cover
this question last winter only got as far as
a favorable report from the house commit
tee on public lands. and was not considered
by either the house or senate. Col. Burchard
SAYS that he shall do the best he can to
secure the passage of the bill this session,
but cannot express much hope Of success.
because the general opinion seems to be that
only the most important matters of leglsla-
ton will be taken up. and that the appro-
priation bills will occupy the greater portion
of the session.

Senator Vance Ma kes a Hit.

DpGCIdI
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-The recent lee
ture of Senator Vance. of North Carolina,
concerning the political Feeling and Sen
timent at the South During the War" eX-
cites universal cOmmendation among his
fellow senators. The people of Boston,
before whom it was delivered in fremont
Temple, have sent the senator handsome
testimonial of their appreciation and re-
gard. Cool-headed Senator John Sherman,
who never compliments anybody except
members of the Sherman family, says:
did not know that Vance could go to Bos-
ton and talk an hour without making some
sort of enmity for himself. He did much
better than any of US could have done should
we enter the South as lecture field.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-It has been re-
Gently alleged that the health of the presi-
dent is critical. and that he is liable to at
tacks of apOplexy and paralysis. A cele-
brated physician has said. privately, to his
friends. that he considered the president
subject to such attacks, and his confidential
opinion has given rise to comment and some
excitement. At the executive mansion,
however. they say that Mr.. Cleveland's
health is constantly improving, but that he
is now obliged to take certain amount of
exercise daily in order to maintain his nor
NAL health and strength. He receives
great number of callers on public business
daily and looks as strong and vigorous as

Dancing at the white House.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-It is denied at
the White house that Mrs. Cleveland in
tends using the celebrated East room for
dancing parties during the season. One of
the officials of the navy department also
says:
The government does not pay the Marine
band for waltz music at the White house. If
Mrs. Cleveland uses it for that purpose she
ought to pay the musicians just as others do
who receive their services at night. Many OF
them are making extra money In the orches-
ira at the theaters. Those musicians do not
belong to the social end OF the government.

erected four million-dollar state house
caught fire early this morning and the en-
tire structure was soon filled with dense

$40. 900 or less. The fire originated in

Lauetry and Gebhard.

New York Letter to Philadelphia Record.
l am told by those who profess to know,
that Frederick Gebhard really intends to
marry Mrs. Langtry. That fact that Mr.
Langtry has done nothing to make himself
himself obnoxious stands rather in the way
of divorce. But, of course. it is only a
temporary obstacle. Some charge can al
ways be trumped up, if it should be only
incompatioility of temper. Certainly Mr.
Gebhard has been devoted to Mrs Langtry
for good many years, and perhaps she
would do well to reward his devotion.
