John Sherman is the model dema-
gogue of the United States, and the
popular understanding of his character
is tribute to American intelligence
About year ago he made trip
through the Southern States in the in
terest of his Presidential ambition.
His Nashville speech created sensa-
ton because of the unusual sentiments
he expressed. He advocated an era of
peace, he had words of praise for the
heroes Of the Confederacy, and paid
tribute to tho motives that inspired
the Southerners to secede. A month
later he appeared at Springfield, ILL.,,
and feeling that the death Of Logan
gave him an opportunity to pre-empt
Logan's following by adopting Logan's
sentiments, he gave forth sweeping
denurciation OF the sentiments he had
espouscd afew weeks before. This is
but . solitary example Of John Sher-
mans ability TO swap positions when
it suits his purpose. He is every thing
at all times and backs and fills in order
to catch the ebb and flow of the tide of
public sentiment-Sk Louis Repub-
HcGu.

THE LITTLE GRAVE.

There's spot on the hillside far away,
Where in summer the grass grows green;
Where. beneath rustling elm trees shade, ,
moss-covered stone is seen
It's quiet and unfrequented spot,
solitude lone and wild;
Yet-somebody's hopes arc buried there
IT'S the grave of q little child.
In winter alas that messy stone
Is hid meath shroud Of snow;
But around IL, in springtime, fresh and sweet
The daisies and vioiets grow;
And DER IL the summer breezes blow,
With fragrance soft and mild,
And the aptumn's dead leaves thickly strew
That grave Of little child
And every year there's a redbreast comes,
When the month Of May ia nigh,
And builds her nest in this quiet spot
Mid the elm trees branches high;
With her melody sweet by the hour she trills,
As II By the scene beguiled;
Perhaps-who knowsf It's an angel comes
To the grave of that little child.
Yes. somebody's hopes lie buried there,
Some mother Is weeping In vain.
For. though years may come and years may 90,
Twill never come back again,
Yet blessed are those who die in youth.
Tho pure and the undefifed;
Some road to Heaven, peychance, runs through
That grave Of . little child

Although the burrowins vertebrates |

Although the burrowing vertebrates
operate most vigorously in the forest
covered regions, they also exercise =
certain influence on the open country.
The moles. which work only here and
there in the forest, are conspicuous
agents in overturning the soil in the
erased regions. Still, as this group is
peculiarly limited in its distribution and
rarely pcnetrates to more than four or
five inches below the surface. it exercises
a relatively small effect. The field
mice are more potent agents in effect
ing the character of the soil. Their
dwelling-chambers are at cOnsidcra-
BILE depth below the surface, and in
forming them, they bring certain
amount of matter to the open air.
Moreover, the remains of their food. as
well as their excremcnts. are important
contributions to the organic matter OF
the soil. Insects in their larval stage
exercise less effect in the open field
than in the forest-covered regions; still
they are not to be left out of account in
considering the process of soil-making
in such areas. In Europe the rabbit,
which has habit of burrowing to a
considerable depth. and in certain dis
tricts west of the Mississippi, the prairie
dogs overturn the soil on the areas they
occupy with considerable rapidity. Still
as the number of these creatures in any
given district is not great, their influ-
ence is mostly exercised in very local
way.
The foregoing considerations make it
tolerably clear that our ants are, in
some districts. by far the most impor-
tant agents in overturning the soil and
in commingling the superficial organic
matter with the mineral material of
which it is composed. Although on a
field of certain class, those which are
of clayey nature. the earth-worms
are probably more efficient soilmakers
than the ants, this latter group appears
to be, at least in the eastern part of
North America. on the whole, by far
the most effective in the preparation Of
the soil for the needs of plants. They
do not, it is true, take the soil into their
bodies. and thus disintegrate it. as the
earth-worms do, but they accomplish
what is perhaps the more important
task of rapidly overturning the soil
material. as well within the forests rs
in the open fields, wherever tina. mate
rial is of sandy nature. Popular

An Orgenixaet0n hitting the Bluo and the
Gray In Harmony.
A new thing in organizations of vet
Grams of the war is the Independents
Army and Navy Veterans Association.
The object of this association is ITO
maintain perfect union among its
members, to establish harmony and
discipline, to insure tranquility, to
promote the object of reconciliation
between the blue and the gray veter-
ans of 1865. TO maintain true allegi-
ance to the United States Government
and answering respect for and fidel-
ity to the constitution and laws of the
land and 10 encourage the spread Of
universal liberty. equal rights and
justice to all men,
The representative Of this associa-
ton in this city is Phil Sheridan Post
No. l. Before adopting this name a
letter was sent to the General stating
the object of the association and ask
ing permission to use his name. The
General. in his reply granting the re-
quest. stated that he fully approved
the objects of the new organization.
The post was accordingly formed. and
adopted rules and regulations. Here
are two of them.
Comrades should enjoy themselves
with innocent mirth, treating one an
other according to their ability, but
avoiding all excuses or forcing any
comrade to eat or drink beyond his
inclinations, or hindering him from
going when occasion calls him, or do
ing or saying any thing offensive, or
that may forbid. or any free and easy
conversation. for that would blast our
harmony and defeat our laudable
purposes: therefore, no private inter-
ests may be brought within our doors.
tar less any quarrels about religion or
nations. we being only brothers and
comrades of the universal religion
above mentioned. Kindreds we are
also of all nations, tongues and Lam
guages, and we are resolved against all
politics as what never yet conduced to
the welfare of any order nor ever will. +"
Comrades entering our post as
members must lay aside all hatred and
malice in regard to the past issues; yes,
every thing that may incite our blue
and gray veterans to disharmony; we
must fight prejudice in all its forms;
in fact every thing that may hinder
the forwarding Of the pure and sim
cere spirit Of our institution. Friend

The Highest Bidders.

Rhode Island during the recent
campaign was literally drcnched in
corrupt methods. The Republicans
had more money than the Democrats
and they used it more freely. They
knocked the hoops off the ''bar'l'' in
the public square and bought votes at
any price. proclaiming in one instance
at least that they were in the field to
WIN, and would give five dollars more
for vote than the Democrats wosld.
no matter what price the Democrats
offered. The State was an auction
block and the campaign was as vi
ciously conducted as that of Sprague
in 1861. In such q match. of course,
