Waving the Bloody Shirt

The bloody shirt revival all along
the line is but another evidence OF the
panic among the leaders Of the Repub-
lican party. They are frantically
searching for an tissue" which may
give them some hope of regaining the
Presidency. 1t is only little while
since the Republican politicians pro-
fessed to believe that they had found
such an issue in the tariff question.
They thought to create panic by
raising false cry Of "free trade. !"
But as time goes ON it becomes more
and more evident that the public. and
especially the working-men, are not
as easily scared that way Us they were
once. It is made palmer every day
that tho masses Of the people sustain
the Democratic policy Of making the
needed reduction Of revenue by taking
off. as far Do possible. tho taxes on the
peoples necessaries. Apparently the
Republican leaders realize that thew
can not get another President out Of
the fres-trade scare, and In their des-
perntion they are casting about for
another "issue." There Is nothing
left but that threadbare fraud, the
bloody shirt. But necessity knows no
law, and in the absence Of any thing
settsr the bloody shirt must again
serve to cover the Republican nakeds
ness. - R0stoH Globe

INSANE PATIENTS.
An Interestiug Chat With an Experience
ASYLUM Nurse,


Asylum Nurse.
The treatment of patients in an in
sane asylum is radically different from
the mental pictures that are drawn by
the families of those who have been so
unfortunate as to require restraining.
After the first few days the patient
oyercomes the horror that imagination
attaches to mad houses, and through
his wandering intellect there comes a
CLEAN of light that makes him content
ed with his surroundings. Thus he be-
comes tractable. and the physicians
and trained attendants can quickly
grasp his case, exposing the vulnerable
points of his character, which are said
to control the patient in his lucid
moments. OF course, where men or
women are seized by a paroxysm. in
citing them to destruction of them
selves or to damage property, there is
only one alternative they must be
rendered helpless, so that in those
violent moods they can do no harm.
Patients become very much attached
to special nurses, and this feeling is
fostered by the physicians, as it denotes
an awakening of the mental energies
and renders the insane person more sus-
ceptible. You would he surprised to
see slender little Sister of Charity at
st. Vincent's Asylum enter the room
of a patient who had torn his bedding
into shreds. smashed the fow pieces Of
furniture in his room and chased the
male attendants like an infuriated
beast. 1t was my first experience Of
the kind, and l expected to see the poor
little thing torn to pieces by the mad
man. was deceived. The Sister
seemed to exercise spell over the big
strapping fellow. who weighed over
two hundred pounds and stood six feet
in his stockings. She spoke in the same
way that a mother would address cross
child, told him he was very foolish,
that he wasn't doing right. and that
until he was ready to behave himself
she would have to punish him by put
ting ON the Jacket and "muff," two
of the worst devices In an insanse asy-
lum. That man could have crushed the
brave little woman to jelly without
making an effort, but he began crying
oyer the scolding and submitted. No
man, priest. doctor or attendant could
have approached him, and no other Sis
ter could have controlled him. These
singular attachments must bo Of mes.

ABOUT CROcUsES.
Their Intimate Connection with tho sa
from of COlnncrce.

Their Intimate Connection with tho saf-
from of Commerce.
None of our yellow crocuses are of
ElIopean origin; they come to us from
the East, and appear to be compara-
lively recent importations. "Cloth of
Gold" for instance, is native of
Turkey and the Crimea, while the
original home of the large yellow cro-
Gus is Asia Minor. Many other kinds
have no doubt been produced by the
ingenuity of the Dutch gardeners,
always skillful in their treatment of
bulbs. The chief interest of the crocus
lies. however, in the fact of its con-
nection with the saffron of commerce.
Twice in the course of history this lat
ter drug has enjoyed popularity
which seems strange to us-orce under
the Greeks and Romans and again in
Europe during the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries. Saffron itself is moth
ing more than the dried stignas of a
certain purple crocus which blossoms in
the autumn. 1t seems originally to
have heen brought from the East. It's
name in any case is Eastern. being, it is
said. merely change of the Arabic
word zattaran. The Greeks and the
Romans. it is true. knew nothing OF
this name, but always used the term
crocus for saffron. The undoubted
fact. however, Of its having, on its re.
appearances in Europe. been inn
ported from the East. confirms the
tradition or notion of its Orienta
origin. 1t was, strangely enough. the
scent which formed its chief attraction
for the ancients. They regarded it al
the most delicious OF perfumes, and en-
deaypred to Introduce 1t on every pos
sible occasion. The iloors Of their hall,
and mansions. as also Of their theaters
were strewed with it, and Pliny in one
place recommends that the saffron
should be bruised. in order the better
to diffuse its fragrance. Its flavor was
also greatly appreciated. and Beck
mann says that "in the oldest work oil
cookery which has been handed dowr
10 us, and which is ascribed to Apicius
IL appears that saffron was as much
employed in seasoning dishes as for ,
perfume. - Chansber's Journal.

But they say we ought not to speak un-
kindly Of the dead. and 80 / will say
no moro about Ingalls,. He committed
suicide and Blackburn buried him. and
Henry Grady preached his funeral, and
so we will let him rest. The Southern
ers are a strange people anyhow. They
get mad quick, and will fight but they
get over It just as quick and make
friends l got mad with a man once,
and he got mad with me about some
thing, and we aid not speak for three
months; and one night we happened
to meet in hotel in New York, and
the same emotion took possession OF
us both at the same time, and we went
right up to each other, and he said:
"God bless you, Major, I am glad to
see YOU" and I said as much to him,
and VIC made it all up and never got
mad any more. But Iknowfolks who
have poison bags right under their
eyes. and they carry their hatred for
years and years. 1t is constitutional
and they can't help it. Now, If In
gals were to come down here and
show kindly, brotherly feeling, our
people would forget and forgive every
SANDER he ever uttered. Why, old
Tecumseh come down here some
years ago, and our people toted him
around in carriage and wined him
and dined him, but we are not going
to do it any more, for he went back
and abused us and told lies on Hamp-
ton. They may fool us once or twice,
but they can't fool us three times. =

INGALLS, EXPLANATION.
An Argument More from the Stomac
tlt Than the Brains.


Senator ingalls, explains his assault
upon General Hancock and General
Mcclellan rs follows:
EVERY man OF intelligence knows that my
alluson to Hancock and Mcclellan were not as
soldiers, but rs Democratic candidates for tho
Presidency. AS such they were allies Of the
Confedcracy us Grover Cleveland is, and as
every Democrat must be who aspires to that
office, because he must be elected by the 1853
votes Of the solid South, which is US much an
aggressive and potential force In our politics
as IL was in 1880"
A most lame and impotent conclu-
sion. Under the words "every man
of intelligence " this Senatorial Theirs
ties seeks to hide the malignant out
burst of his bad temper and virulence
That vast multitude whom Ingalls,
would class as people wanting irtelli-
gence are unable to separate Hancock
at Gettysburg from Hancock the Dem
ocratic candidate for President.
There are men. too. "who think all
the world is drunk when they are
giddy." Senator ingalls, is of this
class. He argues more from his
stomach than his brains at times. His
Incorporate and unjust abuse Of dead
heroes who risked all where he risked
nothing for this Union was without
justification, born of distempered and
unhealthy organization, utterly mex
cusable except upon the ground that
Peter took when, like ingalls,, h. tried
to back out of bad break in denying
his Lord and Master. There was a lie
out in both cases, and the less said
about it the better. - Chicago Times

FIRST-CLASS SEEDS.
Why Farmers Should Under No Circum-
stances Use Others.

Why Farmers should Under No Circunl-
stances Use Others.
Few farmers give enough attention
to the proper selection of seed The
price is of little Importance provided
one gets just what he wants. pure, true
to name and of good terminating force.
Take cabbage seed for instance. Every
year there are aSres of cabbage stumps
set and the seed put on the market
which is comparatively worthless. The
seed should be grown from cabbage
heads carefully selected in the fall;
those which least resemble the true
type of the variety should be cast aside
and sold, only the true stock being
kept for resetting for seed
No farmer who proposes to grow
onions for market should buy seed that
he knows nothing about. Price is no
object. Ii. onion seed is selling at one
dollar per pound, and some grower has
by careful selection, hand shelling, etc.,
produced seed that is really worth
twice as much by the labor and care
bestowed on it, ought he not TO ask two

Many seeds that go through dealers

seed. the terminating power OF which
has been destroyed by heat SO that
they will not como up and expose the
fraud. The farmer wonders why his
seed did not come up well, but does

sPAlN's QUEEN REGENT.
Daily Life of an Interesting Member {
Europe's Royalty.

EurOpo'S hOyalCys
Queen Regent Christina is an early
riser. and, after her bath, she takes q
simple morning breakfast with tea.
Then she sees to her children and often
is present at their breakfast. The rest
of the morning is given up to public
business and listening to what her Min
listers may have to say in their daily
audience. At one she lunches, some-
times alone and sometimes with the
Infanta Isabel. who lives in the palace.
After lunch, if she is not hindered by
audiences, the Regent goes out for u
couple of hours of recreation. Whom
she returns, the little King and Prin-
cesses Join their mother in her own
room, and she reads and writes whilst
they play around her. Then her
Majesty dresses for dinner. which takes
place at eight o'clock in the large din
ing-room. hung with rare tapestries.
The royal table is very large, even
when there are no guests, for, besides
the Infanta Isabel. Queen Isabella,
when in Madrid, dimes with her
daughter-in-law, as also the ladies and
lords in waiting, the aides-de-camp,
the chaplain. the commander of the
halberdiers. and several palace officials
and dignitaries.
At table, the Queen likes everybody
to converse freely, and she joins in the
conversation, taking care to address
all her guests in turn After dinner all
assemble in Her Majesty's drawing
room and whist tables or chess are set
out for those that care to play. Tho
Infanta often withdraws early in order
to go to the opera. but the Queen re-
mains with her guests until eleven
o'clock.
There is often music on these occa-
sions. Great singers are invited to the
palace, and they say that nothing can
be more pleasant and h0melike than
the Queens drawing room.
