OF Chattanooga, Tenn, writes, that he was
seriously afflicted with severe cold that
settled on his lungs; had tried many
remedies without benefit. Being induced
to try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Com

use of few bottles. Since which time he
has used it in his family for all Coughs
and Colds with best results. This is the
experience of thousands whose lives have

Speaking OF the combination for
aggressive work OF the four most brilliant
political leaders in New York-Platt, !,
Miller. Depew and Hiscock-a New
York correspondent writes:
1t is this powerful combination OF
strong, sble and brilliant men that in.
spires every New York republican with
hope and gives every thoughtful demo-
cratic leader grave concern. Repabli.
cans in other states need take no stock
in the report that New York is hope
lessly democratic and given up by the
republicans. Mr.. Depew will work as
he has never worked before, and his elo-
quent tongue will be heard all over the
state. Thomas O. Platt. whose work Tor
Garfield in New York City in 1880 saved
the state to the republicans, will again
be in charge OF tho CANVASS in this city.
He confidently expects that Cleveland
will get 20 900 less majority in New
York City and Brooklyn than in 1884.
The frisnds Of Arthur in these cities
who would not work for Blaine with
any heart are all in line for Harrison.
The Butler vote, which would have gone
TO Blaine and elected him four years ago
had Butler Withdrawn, is certain to 20
for Harrison. Batler's followers were
all protectionists, and this year there is
every evidence that they are more firmly
set against Cleveland than ever. Huch

General Sheridan.


reputation he had achieved as an able cap
tain. The most stupendous war of history
gave him opportunity for that conspicuous
usefulness which is the basis of enduring
fame. He was equal to the opportunity.
Tremendous energy, evinced in rapidly Of
movement, led people to think OF him super
fcially as of dashing and brilliant rather
than thoughtful aud solid soldier But no
commander was more palnstaking and In
dustrious; none relied less on mere chance.
He knew accurately the number and position
of his adversary; he made exhaustive study
of the topography Of the country In which he
was operating, aud in conflict gave his own
soldiers every advantage foresight could gain
for them. The capacity of captain is never
fully tested until he is intrusted with an in
dependent command. Until he entered upon
the campaign in the Shenandoah Sheridan
had Invariably operated under the immediate
eye Of n superior. In the Shenandoah lie was
left to his own resources. In that valley long
familiar to him Early had achieved success
after success. He knew the country, he en-
joyed the sympathy of its inhabitants, he had
the prestige Of repeated victories. The duty
of closing that valley to his repeated incnr-
sions, always disasterous to the union arms,
was assigned to Sheridan. Winning battle
after battle he made quick and thorough work
Of the campaign. AS soldier Early never
again entered the Shenandoah. Driven
thence by the reckless energy Of Sheridan he
shared in the succeeding spring the fate Of
Lee. In that famous campaign Sheridan
demonstrated the genius of captain who
could plan as well AS execute
II there had never been war Sheridan
would not have been an illustrious but he
would have been useful soldier. Thorough
ness always characterized his discharge of q
duty As he himself has explained when
speaking with fellow-soldiers his ambition
ALWAYS was to do well that which he had to
do. He was a second lieutenant and as such
did his utmost to succeed. He was quarter
master and spared no pains to make the best
possible quartermaster. He was gratifed
when promoted to q colonelcy OF volunteers
and commanded a regiment with thorough
ness. Thus through all gradations leading,
ultimately, to the generalship 1t Is true that
bis success would not have been rs great had
he not enjoyed the favor and confidence of
General Grant, who shOwered promotions up
on him, but it was likewise true that the road
TO the commanders favor was gained by
merit. Sheridan won his spurs.
Naturally combatiye, Sheridan-trained at
West Point-was essentially a soldier. He
had no liking for civil employment. He had
no capacity for money-gettng. The man was
fitted to the career He achieved everything
soldier could hope and leaves an honered
name.-Ch1eago Times.

Pralsing the Queen.

Queen Victoria Is not ornamental as a
queen, but as sovereign she certainly com
Enands respect and she is unparalleled in her
Jealous anxiety to aggrandize the family Of
which she is the chief and increase the pres
tige Of her country. She has been called "a
louis XII. in petticoats, a MachlaVelli in
corsets. She has more than once outwitted
Bismarck and caused to pale before her frown
che Emperor William Of glorious memory"
Perhaps she is all Of this, and perhaps again
she is not, but one thing is certain, when rea-
sons OF state and policy are not an obstacle,
she dissembles none Of her sentiments; she
never dissimulates, but speaks out her mind
freely, without care for what others NAV
think, all Of which is charming when one
happens to be a favorite, and not nearly so
nice when one is not SO, as poor lady Flora
Hastings found to her cost when Victoria was
merely girl. However, in any case, this
peculiarly has Its adyantage-friends and

pect, and can shape their course accordingly
