THEY LEFT THE G. A. r,
Ex-Governor John NJ. Palmer and Gen
McCIernand.

Ex-Governor John NJ. Palmer and Gen.
McClenand.
Two prominent men have lately left
the Grand Army Of the Republic on the
ground that the organization has too
much to do with politics; these arc Gen.
John NJ. Palmer and Gen. John A. Nc
Clernand.
Gen. Palmer has figured as governor
Of the state Of Illinois, and was candi.
date on the Democratic ticket for this
office this year. Gen. McClernand since
the war has not figured prominently in
any capacity.
Gen. Palmer halls from Shelbyville,
which is on tho confines of that portion
of Illinois called Egypt, the homo of
Logan, the region which, when tho civil
war came on, never knew whether it
was northern or southern territory. Gen.
Palmer had good record in tho army,
and has ever since been prominent in the
political arena in Illinois.

rangement for tho agents Of compet-

the result apparently being satisfactory
to all concerned.

ton ON prices. I presume this Is tho
only branch Of business In which this Ia
likely to happen. 1t Is possible in ours
mainly for the reason that oil styles and
purchases are made away In advance Of

Social LILO Of Ancient Egyptians.


Guests who were invited TO private
house rode thither In their chariots or in
sedan chairs carried by thek: servants,
and like those now used In India and
elsewhere. II tho day was hot the cha
riot or sedan chair was furnished with an
umbrella 10 keep Off tho sun. An
Egyptian gentleman ofton drove his own
chariot, but servants attended him to
help him TO alight and to take charge OF
his team and chariot. While they wera
awaiting tho announcement Of dinner
music was provided, and the principal
features Of tho house wero pointed out
to tho guests and, as with us, good man
ners constrained them TO praise all they
saw, and especially any curios shown TO
them. If visitors desired to wash their
feet or hands before dinner, servants at
tended on them, and in palaces tho water
pitcher and basin were Of gold. Serv-
ants also, as sign OF welcome, poured
from an alabaster or metal box sweet
ointment upon tho heads Of tho visitors
and brought garlands OF flowers. TO
each guest was also given lotus flower,
which he held In his hand whilo he re-
mained In the hosts house. Wine was
then brought round and both ladies and
men partook Of it, using cups of gold,
silver or porcelain. Tho poor contented
themselves with cups OF carthenware or
Of some cheap metal.
While tho guests wero being enter
tanned with music and dancing, dinner
was being prepared, the meats Including
beef, goats flesh and venison; while
ducks, geese, teal, quail and other birds
were also provided. Mutton was not
eaten. Great quantities Of fish and veg
stables were also served, tho feast being
exceedingly plentiful, and tho dishes
worry various. Each dish was placed In
the center Of the table, and the guests
dipped pieces Of bread into it. When
the host gave tho sign, 1t was removed,
and another introduced. The poor could
not, of course, secure such abundance as
this, but lived largely on vegetables,
milk, cheese and fruit. At later period
the Egyptians love of the table seems to
have increased, SO that tho mode of life
OF the higher classes was described as
ever luxurious and even protligate.--A.
lnkersley in San Francisco Chronicle.

A Frcnohman.s pi.h.of snai,s.

Tho snail is to American eyes nause-
ating, slimy creature, and tho thought Of
eating one makes ones gorge rise. Not
so, however. to tho FTcnchman, who
looks upon this proverbially slow trav-
eler as the most delicious morscl that tho
epicurean can roll beneath his tongue.
Ho has not In mind tho American snail
that draws his length along the stone
wall and Is Of small size, but his gigantic
brother that abounds In certain parts Of
Franco and England and feeds OF the
tender cabbage plant. Tho process that
leads to his presence on the table is in.
teresting and peculiarly French. In the
first place ho Is immersed In water
and scrubbed, then no Is covered with
salt until all his slime is withdrawn;
next he is bathed agein In salt water,
then he is left for some timo In q solution
made from all tho appetizing herbs and
spices. Tho cooking Is the next process,
and with vino and one Of those mysteri-
GUS sauces known only to the chef Fran
caisc, he is served. The Parisian first
views tho dish lovingly. and then, rails
ing tho shell to his lips, he closes his
eyes and gently draws into his mouth
the succulent morsel, leaving tho shell
empty. To tho novice the idea is revolt
ing, but after tho first trial--oh my!--

They have been having gay time at

Europe such affairs arc usually en-
ivened by the reception Of royalties who
attend them, and in the present instance
Barcelona was thrown into flutter by
the presence of the infanta Of Spain and
her sister, the wife Of Prince Louis Fer
dinand of Bavaria. Balls followed. ono
after another, at which the people of
Barcelona strove to do the royal guest all
honor.
The exposition buildings are in the

which is the main building, is in semi
circular form with naves like elongated
triangles. AL countries are represented,
some handsomely, others meagerly. Bel

wines and silks, Spain and Italy make

The United States division Is famous for
the fine appearance Of the apartment

meagerness Of its exhibit. Congress ap-
propriated 5000, 900 for the exhibition, so
that the decorations of tho United States

GEN. M'CLERNAND.

The civil war found Gen. McClernand
about so years old, a lawyer, an editor and
politician; indeed, he had been a con-
gresham. He was with Grant at Bel
mont and Fort Donelson, and after
wards participated in the battle of Shiloh.
In 1868 he was appointed to lead certain
troops down the Mississippi river, and
relieved Gen. Sherman of his command
at Vicksburg. Gen. Grant not relishing
McClernand's acts, when a sufficient rea-
son occurred, relieved himrof his COM
mand and sent him to Springfield. This
was in July, 1868. McClernand resigned
in 1854 IS.

: sssy-His Lass Day..
John Bright has been the lifelong
friend Of America and American insti-
tptions. During the civil war he stood
almost alone amongst the leading men Of
England In his advocacy of the cause Of
the Union, and his speeches delivered on
that subject are the finest of all his ora
torical achievements. 1t Is little more
than twenty years ago since I first heard
him speak, in his native town, Rochdale,
and the man, the subject and the occa-
sion would have been forever impressed
on my memory even II had not the
privilege afforded me, at later period,
Of knowing him personally and meeting
him occasionally in society and Of talk
ing with him In the house of commons
and elsewhere on those subjects in
which, as members Of parliament, we
were both interested. This was the first
great speech ever heard and he the
first great speaker. was only boy at
the time, just beginning the study Of
politics. ! listened to the great orator
with breathless attention, and remem-
Der that at a point In his address, when
the large audience was hushed In deep
silence, hanging on every wort:, at
tractcd more attention than was good
for me by giving o single cheer to o
sentiment which struck me at the time
as one eminently just and praiseworthy:
"Ihe nation must now seize the scepter,
which for the last 200 years has been
welded by classw said Mr.. Bright, and

responding enthusiastically to this patrf-

election of Mr.. Bright's brother, Jacob,
Mr.. Bright himself had represented
Manchester, but was defeated some years
before by local jealousies and chiefly
through the influence Of Mr.. Potter, a
leader of the Liberal party in that city
and father Of the present member for
Rochdale, who is also the honorary
secretary of the Golden club. The
Liberals of Rochdale met to celebrate
the Manchester victory, and Mr.. Bright's
speech was devoted to vindication of
Liberal policy, as expressed in the well
known watchwords Of the party-Peace,
Retrenchment and Reform. l had read
many of his speeches before l had an
opportunity Of hearing him, and from
their style and contents, so robust and
uncompromising, SO full Of concentrated
passion, so whitening in their invective,
80 scornful and denunciatory towards
all oppression and wrong, expected his
oratory would be characterized by a
singular energy and that his gesticula-
ton would be as forcible and expressive
as his words. was surprised to find,
on the contrary, that his manner was
remarkably quiet, and that his gestures
were very few, and these of the simplest
description. He relied almost entirely
on the tones of his magnificent voice and
their appropriate modulation for the
adequate expression of those passages
which were charged with peculiar en-
phasis or strong emotion.i The effect on

expressed frequently aroused applause
which shook the ~rafters. Gen. Miner
followed in a brief speech in which. with
out set phrase, he spoke of the interest
he naturally felt in Cheyenne, and ex-
pressed a hope hat the feeling between
citizens and civilians which was already
cordial would be intensified. On his part
nothing would be left undone to encour-
& and stimulate this feeling. The
speech was applauded to the echo.
Ex-Governor Warren responded TO the
toast Wyoming" and it is needless
to add did the subject complete justice.
George Washington was the topic
assigned to Chief Justice Maginnis. He
treated the subject from a cheerful after
dinner standpoint which added much
relish to 1t.
"The Press was responded to by L. "A.
Slack of the Sun, who spoke of the joys
of the editors heart at the frequent
belligerent appearance of the irate sub
scriber.
On the subject of railroads General
Superintendent Dickinson was e~loquently
silent.
Gen. Miner was entirely at home when
he arose to respond to the toast of THE
Ladies'" 1t is seldom that the subject is
heard treated more approximately or elo-
q~uently.
The more formal part of the reception
being over, dancing was resumed with
enthusiasm. The whole affair was a
charming success, and if Gen. Miner was
as well pleased with his new acquaint-
ances as they were with him there is GER
tairly cause for mutual satisfaction.
