Gen. Sheridan After Gravelotte.

The headquarters now became the scene ot much hustle, dispatches announcing the vic tory being sent in all directions. The first one transmitted was to the queen, the king directing Count Bismarck to prepare it for his signature; then followed others of a more official character, and while these matters were being attended to I thought would ride into the village to find, if possible, some water for my horse. Just as I entered the chief street, however, was suddenly halted by squad of soldiers, who, taking me for a French officer (my coat and forage cap re- sembling those of the French), leveled their pieces at me. They were greatly excited, so much so indeed that 1 thought my hour had come, for they could not understand Eng
 fish, and I could not speak German, and dared not utter explanations in French. For tunately a few disconnected German words came to me in the emergency. With these managed to delay my execution, and one of the party ventured to come up to examine the Suspect" more closely. The first thing he did was to take off my cap, and looking it over carefully his eyes rested on the three stars above the visor, and pointing to them he emphatically pronounced me French.
 Then, of course, they all became excited again, more so than before even, for they thought I was trying to practice a ruse, and question whether should have lived to recount the adventure had not an officer be- longing to the kings headquarters been pass ing by just then, when, hearing the threat enings and imprecations, he rode up to learn the cause of the hubbub and immediately recognized and released me- When he told my wrathy captors who was, they were much mortified, of course, and made the most profuse apologies, promising that no such mistake should occur again, and so on; but not feeling wholly treasured, for my uni form was still liable to mislead, I was careful to ireturn to headquarters in company with my deliverer. There I related what had oc- cured, and after good laugh all round, the king provided me with Q pass which he said would preclude any such mishap in the fl- ture and would also permit me to go wher- ever pleased-a favor rarely bestowed. = Gen Sheridan in Scribner's Magazine

DEMOCRACY WILL TRIUMPH.

Whether or not defeat in the recent election would have meant disruption to the republican party, it is quite certain that the democracy will survive. The grand old party of Jefferson and Jackson, like the brave spirits of the old guard, may be defeated but it never surrenders. It will be on deck four years hence, strong and determined and courageous as ever, and the lessons of the late struggle will teach it the way to victory.
 The history of the democracy should be sn inspiration to its members. In 1872. when Horace Greeley was pitted against President Grant, the democratic party was, to all appearances, utterly and com pletely demoralized. In that election Greeley got but forty-two electoral votes, yet only fours later the party gathered it. self together and elected Samuel J. Tilden ulently seated in his stead. In 1880 the party was beaten and four years later it was victorious. The defeat of last month will imbue the party with stronger courage and a greater determination to gather it. self together, and already the signs point to better organization four years hence Hardly has the smoke of the conflict dieo away when the ranks are closing up, anC from all parts of the country and all ele ments of the party there come declaration of the determination to go on with tn, fight The revenue reform merchant. of New York speak with the same viev as the conservative democratic organ o Georgia; from the rocked-ribbed coast O Maine to the golden strands of California from the curving bays of New York to tn sunny slopes of Texas, the land is ring ing with the glorious democratic purpos to retrieve it's losses in 1899. No demo crat is cast down, none is utterly disheart ened, but like the brave Lawrence who's ringing words inspired his brave sailo boys every true democrat will be firm anG valiant in his determination never to giv up the ship.
 The democracy cannot die. Its princi ples are eternally right, its mission will b co-extensive with the life of our institu tions. The democracy will survive all de feats, for it's mission is to contend eternall against monopoly, corruption, fraud an injustice. It will fight, as it has alway done, as vigorously in opposi ton as when in power. Thi glorious old party that maintaine its integrity and its organization in tn dark days of the civil war, that never los heart during twenty-four years of exclu sion from power and from office, will re main as proudly and as vigorously as eve the party of Jefferson and Jackson, Q Marcy, Wright and Tilden. Its futur will surpass it's past, and with the de

- PREsDENT-ELECT HARRISON will proba- ply not allow himself to lose much sleep over the discovery by a Virginia crank of a meteorological omen that he will not survive his term in the white house. He has figured out that it showed on the 18th of November in the year when Genera Harrisons grandfather was elected to the presidency. It showed on November 19 in the year when Taylor and Garfield were respectively elected president. Not one of those men lived to complete his official term, whence the Virginia crank reasons that, as it showed on the 18th of last month, General Harrison must die before his of ficial term shall have been completed

CANADA is excited over the reported possibility of Cardinal Archbishop Tcs- chereau of Quebec becoming Pope Leo's successor as the head of the Catholic church. One MT Vidal. who has recently returned from Italy, announces that there is consensus of opinion among the cardinals that the next pope must not be an Italian. Cardinal Gibbons, he main tains, though the choice of many of the cardinals, would not be available owing to his representing democracy. Cardinal Taschereau would be available and would be regarded specially strong as being an English subject and yet one whom France would accept as Frenchman. This is in teresting, but it is not at all likely. The next pope will not be from America.

In other years my visions day by day Were fraught with finest fancies, such as throns The wondrous pages of immortal song; Through primrose paths of poesy I'd stray. The throstle's note, the robins roundelay. Upon the ambient air a-ling'r ring long, Stirred in me such rapture, deep and strong, could but bow to their enchanting sway.

THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy 8 Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our landa No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and a few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.
