THERE is an Indian tribe in California con-

guage will cease to be spoken.
THE water in the Great Lakes is now the
lowest it has been in forty years. Shipping
is crippled by it. What makes it high or
low is question the experts have not yet
been able to solve.
The town of Cereal Springs, in William
son County, ILL.,, appears TO have had a most
phenomenal growth. Its population now is
seven thousand, yet only four years ago
there was not house on the stretch of
cornstallls and timber that occupied the
present site of the town.
THERE has recently been discovered in
Southern Kentucky very fine grade of
onyx. Heretofore onyx has been found only
in Mexico. The mineral is extensively used
for decorative purposes. and the discovery
of it in the United States will tend to cheap
en- it and extend its use
RECENT storm on the Maine coast
washed hundreds of Holsters ashore at
York Most of the large ones were dead,
having been crushed by the waves. Ono
citizen picked up one hundred and fifty small
live ones in a few minutes. Such an occur

THERE is said to be a blind jeweler in
Bradford, Pa, who IS able TO repair jewelry
and watches entirely through his sense of

he had become proficient workman, and
then, by cultivating the sensibility of his

most remarkable instance.

THE NEW GENERATION.
Intelligent Citizens Who Fully Understand

Intelligent Citizens Who Fully Understand
the EnOrmity of DislOyaIty.
One Of the truly good and wise mug
wump organs declares that the great
civil war by which the Union was pre-
served and slavery abolished has come
to be "Only matter of history, like
the Mexican war, or the war of 1872"
and that the generation now upon the
stage "takes no interest in disputes as
to the attitude of public men toward
it. The statement is a preposterous
one. 1t is true that the war in ques-
ton ended over Il quarter of a century
ago, and that large proportion of
the present voters have no personal
recollection of its trials and sacrifices.
But it is not true that these new voters
are careless of its meaning and in
different regarding the actions of men
who were in public life at that time
and who still seek political power and
honor. The young men who are thus
accused of lukewarmness with respect
to a conflict in which their fathers
fought and died have II very vivid
sense of the Importance of that menu
orable struggle. They know what OPP
position to the Union cause implied
as well as if the battles had taken
place within the last four years. Their
knowledge of the matter has not been
CLEANED from books alone. but from
the mouths of eye-witnesses as well,
and under conditions of the most
grave and impressive character.
These voters of new generation
al specially quick TO remember and
to understand the enOrmity to Copper
headism. The story of the conduct of
Northern Democrats like Voorhees, is
not mere matter of history to them.
but a thing of distinct and practical
interest. They are able to realize how
LOYAL men felt when Lincoln was de-
nounced aud the Union soldiers
illuminated by Democratic orators;
and they feel the same way to-day
when those orators brazenly assume
the right to be accepted rs patriots. in
spite of those offenses. Ii is idle to
suppose that the sons of the veterans

freed the slaves are ready TO concede
that il makes no difference if man
was a COpperhead when to be a
Copperhead was to be infinitely more
wicked and despicable than an out
and-out Confederate. They do care
where man stood at that time, and
what kind of n record he made for pres
ent reading. The sentiment of
contempt for those who discouraged
enlistments, rejoiced over rebel vic
tories. and Knocked the sufferings
of women and children is as
strong with them as it was with their
fathers. They can not be induced TO
think that it is proper to take an I'M
concerned view of such facts simply
because they did not have personal
cognizanee of them. These facts have
passed into history. To be sure-ever-
lastingly black with shame aud infamy;
but does that not signify that the pres
ent generation is incapable Of appre-
ciating them. or disinclined to give
them positive and earnest attention.
