IFrOm his Speech Of March . lss4
Some of the most pathetic sights have
ever witnessed in my life l saw when the
advancing armies of the Union were
brought in contact with the slave popula-
ton of the South. Aged colored men,
slaves from their mothers womb, came in
to our camp as into cities of refuge. l
have seen old men past the meridian of life,
yes, well on toward its end, after hard
days work in the company kitchen, lying
prone upon the ground before the camp
fire, with spelling books in cheir hands,
painfully trying to fasten in their memories
the names and outlines of the letters of the
| alphabet

ON CLEVELAND AND THE MUGwUMPs

The President of the United States re-
peatedly put himself under the pledge, not
simply in his public utterances but in pri
vate letters, voluntarily written, in favor
of such policy. 1t went through all the
land to those Republicans in office who had
fragment, small or large, of legal term
to serve that if they discharged their duties
faithfully and honestly they would not be
disturbed in serving out the remainder of
term. 1t has turned out that it was a de-
ceptive feast 10 those invited. 1t was almost
as full of deception and as fatal in its results
as some of those feasts of old story to
which men were invited for purpose of as
sassuation.

The museum in Neuchatel Is an unu-
ually interesting one, and the traveller
does not experience that sensation of
WEAKNESS which is often felt in visits to
similar places. One room is filled with
animals, stuffed of course, which are
found in the higher Alps, many of which
are now extinct. Wolves, white and
brown bears, foxes, white hares, chamois
steinbocks, all are there, most beautifully
stuffed and preserved. l have said that
some of these animals are no longer to
be found in the mountains, but it would
have been more correct to nave stated
that they have retreated before the civil
izing hand of man, for it is believed that
bears, and certainly wolves, are to be
found OF the higher peaks, where no foot
of Alpine climber has penetrated.
In the next room are the models of the
lake houses and the curious relics of the
ages of stone and bronze which have been
found imbedded in the mud and slime Mt
the bottom of the lake. The date of
these remains cannot be- determined.
Opinions differ, but all agree on one
point-that they certainly existed before
the time of Julius Caesar. Tho houses
were c~leverly built On four iron rods
sunk deeply in the mud at the bottom of
the lake and supporting a kind of plat
form, on which the hut rested, and the
inhabitants reached the shore by means
of canoe made of followed trees. The
reason apparently of their choosing the
lake as a dwelling place was to protect
themselves from the numbers of wild and
fierce animals with which the country
wa infested. Indeed it is evident that
it was then little more han q vast marsh
or morass.
In the samer room with the models are
some grotesque ornaments worn by the
woman and some equally extraordinary
weapons worn by the men. In another
room ara the skulls Of some of these an
cierft beings. Very fiat and receding are
they, and the inspection goes far TO
strengthen ones belief in Darwin's
theory that their possible ancestors may
have been an ape like tribe.
There is no national costume worn by
the Neuchatel peasantry now, but in
many Of the cottages you may see old
pictures, roughly but brightly colored,
representing the dress worn in days long
gone by. A delightful excursion Is by
the little lake steamer as far as Morat, q
quaint old world town about three hours
distance from Neuchatel. Hero are
funny old streets, narrow and furnished
with arcades built of stone, under which
are the oldest little shops imaginable

LOOKING TO THE WEST.
Post Office Appropriation Bill
Passed by the House.
THE Mail Service of the West
Discussed,
And a More Efficient Service
Urged.
Passed the House.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The house
to-day went into a committee of the whole
on the post Office appropriation bill.
On motion of Blount the appropriation
for the naval messenger service was in
creased from 100000 to $3.50, 900.
Perkins of Kansas, speaking of the
verbal amendment, again entered a com
plant of the West against the inefficient
mail service, which, he as asserted, was now
being given to that section. He had read
extracts from various letters and papers
received by him in support Of his asser-
tons.
Toolo of Montana and Voorhees, of
Washington Territory voiced the wishes
of the people of the territories for a
more efficient mail service than they were
now receiving.
Cannon Of Illinois attributed the in
efficiency of the service in the West not
TO the lack of sufficient appropriations,
but to the fact that competent men have
been discharged and incompetent persons
put in their places.
Blount said the record would disclose
the fact that the changes in the railway
mail service had been gradual and to-day
the rate of merit was higher than it ever
had been before.
Lymes of Colorado criticised the post
Office department for inadequate MANAGE
ment of the star route service. He de-
clared they had been deceived about the
matter. He wanted the responsibility
placed where it belonged, and was satis-
fed that it should rest upon the back of
the ''%picayunish second assistant postmas-
ter general.
After further desultory debate, the
committee rose, and the bill passed.

Fever and ague, bilious remittent, dumb

were thundcrs of applause. He was pre-
sented by DIR. Smith, moderator of the
Northern assembly. DIR. Bullock, as rep
r~esentative of the Southern assembly.
made a brief but eloquent address. He
cordially reciprocated the fraternal senti-
ment of the brethren from the North, and
said that whatever might be the final dis
position of the question of organic union,
there was no feeling of alienation or pre-
iudice or want of faith in the doctrines of
their sister assembly. There was no OBJ
stacle that he knew of to fraternity and
fellowship.
A great audience also crowded Horti-

ceived with extreme warmth.
