Sixteen Lost, One Saved.

At public dinner given to General
Harrison when he was a candidate for
the Office of president of the United
States, one of the guests rather con-
spicuOusly "drank to his health" The
general pledged his toast by drinking
water. Another gentleman offered a
toast and said, General, will you favor
me by drinking a glass of wine 7" The
general in a very gentlemanly way
begged to be excused. He was again
urged to join in glass Of wine. This
was too much. He rose from his seat
and said, in the most dignified manner !:
Gentlemen, l have twice refused
to partake of that wine-cup. 1 hope
that will be sufficient. Though you
press the matter ever so much, not a
drop shall pass my lips. l made a re-
solve when started in life that would
avoid strons drink. That VOW L have
never broken. l am of a class of IL
young men who graduated at college
together. The other 10 members of
my class now fill drunkard's graves
and all from the perniciOus habit of
wine-drinking. | owe all my health,
my happiness and prosperity to that
Would you urge me to
break it now fn

How the Battle was Won.

Chauncy M. Depew told the follow
ing story in New York city recently:
"In my early career, before became
interested in my wife, and would not
look at any other girl, or before she
knew me we'll enough to be jealous of
the other girls, [ went out one evening
to call upon the prettiest young lady
in the village. When 1 got there l
found young man from New York
with Crony 81 Lent suit, and with
all the latest metropolitan stories and
graces, and 1 knew that as a simple
countryman was gone. l looked at
Mr.. Fifth Avenue with animosity, and
Mr.. Fifth Avenue looked at me with
contempt. Subsequently her father
came in to meet Mr.. Fifth Avenue, and
then remembered that the old cap
tain had a theory showing how Napo-
leon might have won the battle of
Waterloo. He had told it to me hun
dred times, and L said, Captain, Mr..
Fifth Avenue never heard how We'll
lington mil ht have been defeated at
Waterloo and Mr.. Fifth Avenue, not
knowing what was in store for him,
asked the captain to tell the story.
had two of the most delightful hours 1
had ever passed in my life up to that
time with the young lady in the back
room, and when L came out Mr.. Fifth
Avenue lay paralyzed on the sofa and
the captain had just gotten down to
the charge of Marshal Ney and the I'm
perial Guard"

The Best Soldier in the World.

Gen. Sheridan's forthcoming memoirs
promise to be of special interest in
view of the great generals sickness.
"Tom" Murphy, whom Grant made
collector of the port of New York, has
related that when, about the time of
the Franco Prussian war, he asked
Grant at Long Branch whom he would
put in command of great army, say
SOC, 900 men, should it become neces-
sary, the General without hesitating a
second, said, SHERIDAN" Next to
Sheridan, Grant would choose either
Miles or Mckenzie, and after putting
away at his cigar for two or three min
utes, he decided on Mckenzie. In a
conversation about five years ago, says
Murphy
81 said to him General, is there a
better soldier in Europe today than
our Sheridan 2
"He thought for minute or two,
putting away at his Havana and then
said: "No there isn't better soldier in
the world than Phil Sheridan
"He resumed smoking and the half
dozen persons who were in the room
with us kept silent. Once again the
cigar came from his lips to be held by
his fingers, and he said, as if to reiter-
ate his former remark: THE world
never saw better soldier than Phil
Sheridan

best and most successful business men
have ever known never open their
mails on Sunday. If there ever was a
necessity for Sunday mail service, it
ceased with the telegram. IF there
ever was necessity for moving per-
ishable articles on Sunday, it has been
removed by the refrigerator car. 1
don't care now, however, to anticipate
what excuses railroad managers may
make for Sabbath dissertation. Before
now have challenged them to justify
their management. When that chal-
lenge is accepted, believe it can be
successfully met by men of practical
experience.

Ringing Words from a Railroad Man.

Rev. w. F. Crafts, who is a we'll
known advocate of stricter Sunday
laws, received recently from Gen. A.
S. Diven, prominent and experienced
railroad manager in New York state, a
letter to be used in a legislative hear
ing on the Sunday question. The ex-
tract we make coming from such a
source, is highly significant, and rep
resents, we believe, the attitude of
many railroad men. We find it in the
New York Mail and Express:
There is no valid excuse for railroad
traffic on Sunday, either for mails, pas
sengers or freights. Our great marts
of trade are closed. Our banks are
closed. The stock exchanges are clos
ed. The factories, great and small, are
closed. Legislative halls are closed.
Courts are closed. And in the name
of all that is good, why should not traf-
fic on our railroads rest with all the
other business activities None of the
great interests referred to are paral-
yzed by resting one day in seven, nor
would any follow the suspension of
railroad traffic. Is the transmission of
mails on Sunday necessityf The

Out to Stay.
iSpPinQfeld Rep Hblicdn, Ind.


The only man who could convince
the Blaine managers that their candi-
date will not accept a presidential
nomination from the republican party
this year has written letter to which
even they must yield. Mr.. Blaine
speaks for himself, and, in a way that
cuts straight across the plans of men
who threatened the very life of the
party, bids the plotters cease their Ia
bOrs. In no event will Mr.. Blaine
permit his name to come before the
Chicago convention. He is out to stay
and the party cannot have his services
for the asking. This last letter to
Whitelaw Reid is sent to head-quar-
ters, and is decisive.

COMMENTS ON BLAINE'S LETTER.

COMMENTS ON BLAINE'S LETTER.
Rare Example of Self Sacrifice.
Neao York Press, Rep.
Mr.. Blaine, in thus absolutely with
draw lg from the canvass at a time
when his nomination was almost a
matter of certainty, affords u truly rare
example of self-sacrifice in the interest
of party harmony.
Uses n Great Many Words.
Nes0 York Times, Ind.
1t certainly seems needful for Mr..
Blaine to use great many words to
say he will not under any circumstan-
ces take the nomination, and we fear
that there are still some of his follow
ers who will refuse to take even this
declaration as final, but it is nearly
impossible that the convention should
not so take it. The process of "draft-
ing" Mr.. Blaine into the party service
would seem to be now completely i'm
practicable.
Emphasizes His Reluctance.
Rutland Herald Rep.
His letter to Mr.. Reid emphasizes
his reluctance under any circumstan-
ces to enter the lists again, even in re-
Spouse to the united call of his party ;
and the reason he assigns why he could
not accept the nomination illustrates
his delicate sense of honor. Again Mr..
Blaine shows himself free from the
slightest suspicion of self-seeking and
his last letter not only illustrates anew
the whole-hearted patriotism and de-
votion to his party that are among Mr..
Blaine's greatest qualities, but it rails
es him even above the high position
he already held in the esteem of his
party, as citizen, patriot and man.
Notable Craftsmanship.
Nea0 York Herald, Ind.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Blaine, which
he now rebukes his narrow minded
and feather-headed friends by repeat
ing and confirming, was notable states
manship. In this, more than in any
other act in his brilliant and varied ca
reer, he shows Il calmer judgment than
his followers. Mr.. Blaine's withdrawal
means the dissolution of his personal
party, and he will hardly, in cam
paign where so many of his friends
have an interest, care to take personal
sides.
Unwise Friends Made it Necessary.
Burlington Free Press, Rep.
LII ought nOG W have Uc6u noCc5SdTy
for Mr.. Blaine to write his letter of
May IL to Mr.. Reid. 1t cannot but be
to some extent humiliating to him, to
be obliged to say to the American peo-
pie that he meant what he said, when
he wrote before. That humiliation has
been brought upon him by unwise and
excessively devoted friends. Had it
been his enemies alone who declared
that his former letter meant nothing
that it was simply bid for more pres
sure to be put upon him, so that he
should be compelled to accept what he
seemed to put away from him, he
could have preserved a dignified ST.
lence. But so many of his friends have
been acting on theory, similar in eff
feet if not in spirit, that Mr.. Blaine had
been obliged to say that his words had
no double sense and that he could not
accept the nomination if it was to come
to him.
