Senator Hawley is sixty-two and has
just become a daddy for the first time.
The senator is a clever fellow, and
would be a democrat If 1t were not for
his war prejudices, 30 correct are his
ideas upon most subjects. We trust
his little daughter will be a great CON-
fort to him when Connecticut's vote is
no longer misrespresented in the senate
even by so mild a republican as he, and
when the senator is enjoying the dolce
far aiente which he would SO aimiably
adorn.

The Globe. democrat must be lrOnl-
cal when it says, "the republican party
will soon resume control of national
affairs, and proceed to create a navy
which will be a credit to the country"
When the republican party went out OF
power after a tenure of twentv-three
years its typical naval vessel was the
Tallapoosa, which was sunk by coming
into collision with a coal barge. That
party worse than threw away $75 ,0OO,-
600 in useless repairs of old hulks, and
spent altogether over $500, 0OO, 0Oo OH a
navy, which when it let go did not
have one single vessel that could cope
with even a thlrd-class English, French,
Italian, or even Chinese man of war.
Mr.. Cleveland's administration has
laid the foundation for a good navy and
with it's usual cheek the republican
party will claim the credit that belongs
to him. AS the old farmer arose and

Fatal Carslessness.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 25.-
There was sad end of a honeymoon
this afternoon, when John Price, a
young blacksmith, accidentally shot
himself in the presence of his bride of
three weeks. He had come from Stock
tor, where his mother lives. and was
spending few days here with his wife.
They arose, late this morning, and
Price took out his pistol and proposed
to clean it. lie handled it so reckless
ly that his wife begged him to put it
away.
''Oh, know how to handle a pistol"
was his reply, which had hardly passed
his lips before the report sounded and
bullet crashed through his left eye,
tearing away the eyeball. The screams
of tie terrified woman brought the pO-
lice. Price was found lying on the bed
blood pouring from the cavity where
his eye had been. He was removed to
the hospital, where even the hardened
attendants were affected by the tears
and piteous cries of the young wife.
who was told that her husband could
only live few hours. Price is of SUI
perb physique, and gained some noto-
riety by fighting last February heavy
| weight pugilist known as the Port
Costa Giant.'' Price was good work
man and industrious. His old mother
depended on hun for support.

THE DEAD AT WckseuRe.

A newspaper correspondents OF the time
writes Of the dead who had fallen in one Of
the most desperate OF the Union assaults on
Vicksburg:
''They lay in all positions. some with
musket grasped as though still contending;
others with the cartridge in the fingers just
ready to put the deadly charge where it
might meet the foe. All ferocity had gone.
"a remarkably sweet and youthful face
YVES that of rebel boy. Scarce is, and as r
as maiden, with quite small hands, he had
long hair of the pale golden hue that auburn
changes TO when much in the sun, and curl
ing at the ends. He had on a shirt of coarse
white cotton, and brown trousers, well worn,
while upon his feet were women's shoes of
about the size known as 'fours.' Too deli
cate was his frame for war, perhaps some
mothers idol. His left side was torn by a
she'll, his left shoulder shattered.
''Two man who had caught at fig tree to
assist them up steep embanknent lay dead
at its foot; the branch at which they caught
was still in their grasp.
SIN one trench lay two grasping the same
weapon, friend and foe. On the faces OF
both Was the calm that follows sleep In
some places the dead were piled literally like
sacks of grain,
