dining car are great innovations
upon the pilgrim outfit Of generation

stopped that mad tide of fear and
changed it into consummate, grand
strength and resolve, and in two short
hours had this tremendous army again
with its face to the foe.
"Then came the matchless power of
the man and the grand result. In a
few hours we had Early flying into the
swamp and 10, 900 rebel prisoners. This
result was obtainable by reason of that
mans getting there ON time because
he had horse that could bring him
there.
A few days afterward was placed

Lieutenant belonging to the Twenty

General Stuart, as usual, greatly ex-
posed his own person on horseback, by
riding out Of the wood into the open
field, and / felt it my duty to say to
him that, in my opinion, he was not in
his proper place, as in few minutes
the whole fire Of the enemy would be
concentrated upon him, says writer
in the Youths Companion. But he
was in a very bad humor, and an
swered CURLY, that il this place seemed
likely to become too hot for me, / was
at liberty to leave it: whereupon u
made response that since my duty at
tached me to this side, no place could
be too hot for me where he chose to go.
Nevertheless changed my position,
and cautiously brought large tree, in
front of which had been standing,
between myself and the enemy. In
an instant the firing began, and three
bullets struck the tree at just the
height to show that, had I remained
where ! was, they would certainly have
gone through my body. Looking at
Stuart, saw him pass his hand
quickly across his face, and even at
that serious moment I could not help
laughing heartily when / discovered
that one OF. the numberless bullets
that had been whistling around him
had cut off half of his beloved mus
tache as neatly as it could have been
done by the hand of an experienced
barber.

What is the matter with brother
Sowden 7 He found himself voting
alone with the Republicans in the House
In favor of the diBrSs tax bill. lie had
had some Democratic company fer a
week !; and the House had consequently
been able to do nothing, the mass of the
Democratic members refusing to agree
to the bill. Mr.. Sowden's Democratic
company left him in obedience to the de-
cision of the Democratic caucus but he
would not move, having promised him
sci to stick till the crack of doom.
We are inclined to think that the crack
has come for brother Sowden and that
his constituents will not return him again
to Congress. We are sorry, because he
has been generally sound and sensible
man. IT his judgment had been good
about the direct tax bill, he might have
successfully defended before his con-
stituents his persistency in stick
ing to 1t. Constituents like representa-
tives who stick when they are right but
such representatives need to be sure that
they are SO. TIE direct tax bill, in pro-
posiDg to pay back tax paid by the
Northern states during the first year of
the war, cannot be defended as measure
Of justice, without holding that all the
taxes paid by the North during the war
should be repaid which Mr.. Sowden
would hardly claim.

The Power Of Quay.


It is surprising and amusing to Demo-
Gratis to note that when Senator quay
comes and goes he is followed by a great
crowd OF Republican small fry politi-
clans, who nearly tread on the great
mans heels in their efforts to overtake
and have audience with him. Recently
Quay returned from Florida. At once
the publication of the fact was made,
and 1t caused as much excitement among
the politicians of Republican faith as
might be expected to follow the home
coming OF the emperor Of Germany to
Charlottenburg.
Whence this mans power comes OF
how he holds 1t Is surprising to Demo
Gratis who have been in the habit OF
owning their political consciences. The
ramifcation Of Quay's power through
the state is seen even in the local contes,
for Congress, where his name Is used tC
call spirits from the vasty deep to play
havoc with the chances of one or Other
Of the local candidates. Cooper smiles
serenely after an interview with Quay
and feels that his calling and election tc
the Republican state committee are now
made sure. All roads lead to Quay il
Pennsylvania.
Nothing go illustrates the boss-ridder
element in the Republican party of Penn
sylvsnia as the complete political domin
ion which the junior senator from thi
state now exercises. 1t probably exist
nowhere else in the country, and is onl
possible In Pennsylvania because her
the Republican party leaders have de
generated into mere aggregation o
place-hunters.

The IBaifenbergs,

1t is a curious spectacle that royalty
affords to-day. A brace Of Battenbergs
have set them all by the ears by the sim
pie and ancient plan Of independent and
bold proceedings in the matrimonial line.
These princes were Of no great account
as such stock is valued, but there is
something charmiDgly attractive in the
confident assurance with which Henry
and Alexander have undertaken to
scramble up among the thrones and
sceptres, the one by alliance with CON-
mercial and naval England and the other
by aspiring to the hand of princess of
martial Germany. With the exception
OF Queen Victoria, the crowned heads
give unanimous shake of disapproval
and disgust at their presumption, and
though the eminent abilities Of Alexan.
der seem to make his case rather stronger
than that Of his brother when suing for
the hand Of Beatrice, crowned heads
don't take such Jrifles into consideration.
A car far gone in hereditary insanity
could marry any princess in Europe with

ferred to, but for brace OF square
headed German princelets to presume to
cut out the heirs apparent Of various
thrones by marrying members Of the
proudest royal houses in all Europe is a
breath taking state Of things. II Is now
reported that Alexander has consented
to wait little while; and all things con-
sidered this is wise, for by it he will gain
popular sympathy for himself and friends,
Ind to persist in the face Of the threats
Of Bismarck and the fear of trouble with
Russia would be to show disregard for
the welfare of Germany that could not
be easily atoned for. Besides he
. has found the support of his brother s
mother-in-law rather damaging in its ef-
feet upon the people Of Germany, with
whom he will probably he identified in
the future, whatever happens in Bulgaria.
They are not very enthusiastic in their
admiration for the old lady who has en-.
livened the monotoDy Of royal life by the
publication Of "Life in the Highlands, -
and other books equally remarkable.

AProhahlA lResuIi.

Senator Conklipg's illness, from which
he now seems likely TO recover, as every
one is pleased to believe, will have very
good effect upon his political condition,
IL he survives with sufficient physical
and mental yigor TO make 1t available.
1t will strongly tend TO wash away from
him political animosities, and II his
period of convalescence lasts until near
the time of the Chicago convention, 1t
may serve to call TO him the Republican
presidential nomination, which is now
wandering around disconsolately seeking
q head upon which to repose. The Re.
publican party is in the condition well
known to the Democratic party in the
past it obviously needs TO nominate
its most available candidate the
chances of election being against It.
A man who has been in It's foremost
rank, and of whom everybody is saying
nothing but good now and to whom
everyone is feeling kindly, because Of his
suffering ard danger, would seemingly
make strong candidate for the party

the asperity and fixing the devotion OF

fective man; and is quite likely to re
store him to politics, even though 1t does
not call to him the Republican presiden
tial nomination. Doubtless, he will bt
for some time an invalid and probably
he will need to deny himself the severe
professional labor that he has been
practising. To man of his temperament
the only way to moderate his labor will
be to withdraw entirely from the severe
duties of the law and take up the less ex
citing work OF statesmanship.

A FAIR specimen Of senatorial wisdom
Ii the passage OF bill granting right OF
way through the Grow Indian reservation
to the Billings, Clark's Fork and Cook
City railroad. This company and another
known 10 the Rocky Fork company, were
rivals In the last Congress for this privilege
and the latter was successful because the
other bill did not reach confederation In
both houses. 1t was understood that the
successful road would be built, and II both
bills had passed probably q ombination
would have been effected before work was
begun, because they run parallel for SO
miles OF their 120 mile length, and have the
same object, namely, the opening of coal
fields near the Yellowstone Park. The
Rocky Fork company went right to work
and have graded and bridged 40 miles
ready for the rails, when the other com pany
which they supposed was dead, comes be-
fore Congress with a request for permis-
sion to build a parallel line. Result, their
stock falls with their credit, aud having
tied up their capital In the road they can
hardly buy rails or pay for the com pletion
OF their enterprise. No ono believes that
both the roads will be built, and the whole
thing is evidently a scheme to drive the
Rocky Fork people deal for the beneiit
OF their rivals.
The Senate passed tho bill by 20 to 10,
there being 32 absent and number Of
pairs. Now the Billings road need not be
pushed and the other hardly will TO until
its owners buy peace with stock or In some
other way. They can hardly afford to let
their property remain unpIoductive, and
the other men who have expended little or
nothing can make their own terms. II
both bills had passed the same Congress,
there would not be injustice, but In this
case the wrong seems clear and the cry O.
opposing monopoly hypocriticsl. If this
short road ever exhibited tendencies TO
monopoly it would be easy enough to build
another, and others will reach these coal
fields Ia due time
