The life of politician is some

THIS life of politician IS some
times a hard one. 1t is an impossl-
bility for party to keep down the
ambition of some of its members to
climb higher than its leaders are
willing to accord, and then comes
discord, faction fights and some
times desertion from the ranks
Such state of affairs now exists in
the democratic ranks Of New York
State. Just as an annoying and trou-
blesome faction of the New York
Democracy had disbanded its or
ganization and come within the
party camp, and all were happy over
the prospect Of peace and harmony
in the ranks through one Presi-
dental campaign, there occurs
another split which threatens dis
turbance throughout the coming
contest. Governor Hill hears the
bee buzzing in his bonnet, and he
cannot resist the refrain. The Gov
ernor has made successful executive
of his State, as his predecessor did,
and now, like his predecessor, he
wants to try his hand as President.
Furthermore, he cannot wait. Four
years hence will not do The nomi-
nation is to be made soon, and
Governor Hill is going to try for
it at all hazards. The State Cen
trail Committee, recently in session
in Albany, after vainly struggling to
agree upon a man for a member of
the national committee, adjourned,
leaving New York unreprcsented
in the central organization Of the
national Democracy. The commit
tee was evenly divided, one half
favoring a Cleveland man the other
half Hill champion Indeed.
New York is a close State, pivo-
tai a State, and it will not do to
have discord in IFS ranks. Without
New York the chances of the demo-
cratic nominee will be exceedingly
doubtful. Hence, if Governor HILL
shall permit his ambition to con-
troll his action to the extent of try
ing to divide the party and lose
New York State, he might as well
abandon hope of future preferment,
for the democracy is not in the
habit of trusting those who strive
against it. Everything points to
President Cleveland's nomination,
and if Governor Hill is wise he will
fall into the pro ,ession and not try
to break the ranks.

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool. and free from dam
druff, and the body in a healthful
condition. The great popularity OF
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use OF Ayers Hair Vigor. IL

four nails dropped OF at one time. Her limbs

several years she did net leave her bed. Her
weight was reduced from rs TO 90 lbs. Perhaps
some faint idea OF her condition can be cleaned
from the fact that three pounds Of Cosmoline or

Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: 4" For years, l was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal a bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair

A similar result attended the use OF
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
H. Bedloe, of Burlington, VT, Mrs. j. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me, and numerous
others.
The loss Of hair may be owing TO i'm
purity of the blood or arrangement OF
the stomach and liver, in which case,
n course of Ayers SarsapariIla or OF
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
Nigor, may be necessary to give health
and tone TO all the functions of the

too strongly urged that none OF these
remedies can do much good without

sTONEWALL JACKSON.

Lieut.. FeeHey CorrOborated by Artilleryman.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Having read
in the issue OF your valuable paper under date
of Nov. g. an article headed "Stonewall jack
son." by Lieut.. NJ. Feeney, sd n. Y, which |
consider to be the most correct account yet
given of the death of that noted rebel COM
mandeT, l beg leave to add few lines of cor
roboration.
At the time 1 was engaged with a section
two pieces of Battery II, 1st Art, o. s. A,
under command of Lieut.. Justin Z. Dimmick,
On the road.
1t was right at the mouth of one of these
pieces that one Of the officers Lieut.. Feeney
speaks OF being captured. was taken. remem-
Der distinctly that this captured officer was
mounted Oil a young white mare, afterwards
ridden at Gettysburg by Capt. c, P. Eakin, and
that his side-2rms consisted OF a finely-en-
graved revolver and sword of English make.
1t was this officer who made the remark: " My
God. you are firing on your own men," This
was about 10 o. m. This officer was taken
prisoner by Lieut. Dimmick III person.
l have every reason TO believe that the Off
Ger wounded at that time was Stonewall Jack
son, and that lie was shot by either some one
from the I'D n. Y, 1st Mass. or Battery II, LIST
Z. s. Art. The part taken by Battery ii IN
that affair, and in the action preceding and
subsequent to it, has never received proper
consideration, aud /, the last survivor of that
section OF the battery, il justice to myself and
comrades, but especially our noble commander,
J. E. Dimmick, take the liberty now, at this
late date, of laying the case before you as wit
messed by myself
Personally l took an active part in the en-
gagemeut, and when Lieut. Dimmick called
for a volunteer to bring up more ammunition,
], at great personal risk, succeeded in bringing
up two caissons which were parked in the
rear OF the Chancellor House, for which act
Lieut.. Dimmick gave me much commentator
and hopes of future reward; but Lieut.. DIM
mick was not spared to redeem his promise,
foT before the close Of the action, in striving
to save one of those pieces, after losing every
driver and cannoneer, he himself was mortally
wounded. Thus was lost TO the service one of
its best and brayest officers, and who, no doubt,
had his life been spared, would have risen
to high rank. Hoping you will give Battery
II a shot in this much disputed case, l viii
close by thanking Lieut.. Feeney for his honest
and correct account Of the battle.-EDwIN E.

in the West And so it happened that small
portion Of the American people have ever since
.lsbored under the cruelly-false conception that
in some way the campaign of Chickamauga was
failure, and that RosecraBs, who never lost
battle during his entire career, had in some
way fallen short of the requirements of able
Generaiship.
1t is with the hope of contributing my mite
toward removing this false impression that |
have concluded to give this long past converse
ton to the public. 1t shows, perhaps as moth
ing else could SO conclusively show, the impress

battle of Chickamauga and the fall of Chatta-
nooga. 1t shows that they knew what and who
hurt them, even If we didn't know.

work still remained in pulling that structure
down. its fate, in the opinion of the most
thoughtful Confederates themselves, was def
