DEFAMING THE DEAD.

70 This is what Republican paper says:
The true story of the last confederate council
of war shows very plainly that JEFFERSON
DAVIS was anxious to prolong the war when
such a course meant only further sacrifice of
life on the part of his people to crafty his per-
Sonal vanity and spitefulnesS.
That is near enough for sheet which,
like the viper, lives only that it may sting;
but what are the facts? One of the con-
federate generals found it necessary to
protest against President DAVIS constantly
pardoning deserters from the army after
he (the general) had sentenced them to
death, claiming that such frequentexerc
of clemency was destroying the morale of
the army by encouraging desertion. There
was nothing in that indicative of desire
to sacrifice life and crafty personal vanity,
surely, and spitefulness does not appear
at all.
1t is stated of Mr.. DAVIS that when a
complaint was made against any one of his
slaves, he had the accused tried by jury
of his peers-that is, negroes-and what
ever penalty they found was inflicted.
The disposition mapped out in the fore
going extract is surely not discernible in
such government.
Mr.. DAVIS custodian at Fortress Mon
roe became greatly attached to his dis
tinguished though unwilling guest, and
credits him with being man of IN
common information, having not merely
superficial but general and thorough
knowledge of history, geography,
astronomy, law and some phases
of theology, coupled with facility
of expression, an intellectually Of scope
and an affability of temperament, rarely
blended in one man, especially in the west
ern hemisphere. That kind of people are
not usually ungenerous, which is a prere
quisite to spitefulness and the disposition to
wantonly take life or property, and the
possession of so many rare gifts is more
likely than otherwise to elevate the
possessor above the plane upon which van
ity is either desideratum or factor.
Instead of speaking as well as they can
of the dead, some of the Republican press
seem disposed to be little meaner and
more ghoulish than ever as relates to the
departed chieftain Of the confederacy.

BOUNDING THE HEBREWS.

The sons of Israel have of late genera
tions, and we might say centuries, been
afflicted variously. 1t has seemed to be
the case that all sections of every com
munity where the Aryan races prevail
have felt it to be part of their calling if
not their duty to contemn and treat with the
most supreme disdain the Jew and his
descendants. A point was recently made by
the New York Dramatic Mirror with refer
ence to the stereotyped stage edition of the
Hebrew, in which it said among other
things that that race, from ancient times
until now, has been held up to ridicule and
SANDER on the stage. The miracle play of
the middle ages was not a worse offender
in this respect than is the dramatic en-
tainment of to-day. With characteristic
patience the Jewish element in the public
than which, it may be said, the theatre
has no more intelligent or liberal class of
patrens-have long endured these jibes and
insults without protest. But now, we are
glad to say, strong sentiment is spread
| ing, not only among the libelled race, but
also-and this is more signifcant-among
Christians, which is destined to blot out of
existence q feature that has disgraced
many modern dramas.
The same authority-which certainly
knows whereof it speaks whenever it
speaks upon matters pertaining to its call
ing-states with equal aptitude that the
stage owes much to the Jew, although the
latter owes little to the stage. RACHEL,
BERNHARDT and SoNNoNTHAL are trio
among many illustrious players given to
the world by that prosecuted race, while in
the veins of KEAN, the Booths and other
great actors coursed strain of Jewish
blood. 1t is in no spirit of tolerance that
| the stage must do justice to the Hebrew
character. 1t is a right which every friend
of the theatre, whatever his race or ma
tionality, should insist upon.
1t has remained for an organization in
this city, which prides itself upon it's
''caste," its exalted tone, its elevated tenn
permanent and its altogether lofty stand
ing, to give the Hebrew citizen the latest
and most contemptuous, as well as con-
temptible blow, by refusing to admit re-
spectacle and upright Jews to its inner
circle. The reason for this is not stated, but
undoubtedly it is because the Mormonpho-
bia with which the club is surcharged has
become so rank and ar-spreading that the
concern cannot now tolerate any form of
organized religious sentiment But it is
quite probable that those whom they cast
out and set aside can get along in some
way; at least it is hardly to be presumed
that there will be any begging for recon
| eidarotion

lows
GOVERNOR THOMAS, OF Utah, has scheme
for destroying the political power of the Nor
mons in Utah that has the attraction OF novelty
His proposition is that about half the county
officers" in that troublesome territory ''should
be appointed by Federal authorities" instead OF
elected, and apparently that these should in
clude all the offices that are worth having on
account of the salaries. Whether this would
break the political power of the Mormons" or
not, it would enable the President to heal some
OF the wounds he has made in the distribution OF
patronage. We may doubt whether the tone OF
official life in Utah would be raised by this de-
vice. The localsGentile politician does not com
mand the unbounded confidence Of his coun-
trymen, and neither would it be commanded by
the sort of politician who would be attracted
from another part of the country by the offer of
a county office to take up his residence in Utah.
The new office holders would be theoretically
homogeneous, but it is open to question whether
in any other particular they would be preferable
TO the present incumbents of the Offices, who
are elected 10 them by their neighbors.

THE KEMMLER CASE.

After all the legal procrastinations and
delays, KEMMLER, the New York murderer
of his mistress, must at last 60 to the
other shore by means of electricity. The
supreme court general term of that state
has decided that that method of execution
is not cruel, and the decision ends the
matter Nothing can now save the con-
demned from his novel taking off but the
interposition of Governor HILL, and as he
is somewhat noted for not interfering in
such cases, the chances are that science
and called justice will get in their work
hand in hand together.
1t is all wrong in one sense, for the
reason that man inherently pos
sesses only the right against his fellow
man of protection and in protec-
ting himself or those who may properly be
under his care, death may be inflicted
if necessary; but after the mischief
has been wrought and to destroy the de-
stroyer will bring nothing back, to take
his life is simply TO rely upon the vindic-
tiveness of the barbarous ages and to fall
back upon that disposition in man which
too often prompts him to resort to the
Mosaic code-an eye for an eye and a tooth
for tooth. When our better civilization
and more comprehensive culture have full
sway, the gallows and all other life taking
structures will be abolished, and some
thing more exquisite and yet more humane
be adopted-solitary confinement for life
with an unknown burial place at death for
instance. This is about as far as we have
a right to go, for the decalogue says, "Thou
shalt rot kill" Besides, the certainty of
such punishment as herein suggested
would deter a dozen where the prevailing
methods do not hold one in restraint.
Since KEMMLER has to die at the hands
of the law, doubtless the scientific plan is
the best one, although the possibility of
failure in the procedure imparts an air of
cruelty which is harsh and grating to
sensitive and cultivated people.

IN JAPANESE COSTUME.
The Countess Oyana Receives at Home Il
the Old Native Dresses.

The Countess Oyana Receives at Home In
the Old Native Dresses.
The Countess Oyana, wife of the
japanese Minister of War, is one of the
few ladies of the court circle at Toxic
who receive at their own homes in the
native costume which European fashions
are so fast driving out of the land of the
Mikado. The Countess prefers the COM
Portable and picturesque japanese dress
to the foreign costumes which the court
has adopted, land this in spite of the fact
that she is one of the first Japanese
women educated in America, having
graduated at Vassar in 1882, the only
woman of her race who has received the
baccalaureate degree. Stematz Yama-
kawa, as she was known before her mar
riage, spent about ten years in this
country, coming with the Japanese en-
bassy in 1872, and returning so thorough
ly Americanized that she had almost
forgotten her own language. She is re-
membered by her college mates as an
exceedingly attractive girl, pretty -
even to American eyes-tall, graceful
and we'll formed. The return to her
native country was to her something Of
an ordeal. She came here girl OF
twelve, adopted the Christian religion
and the customs and habits OF
thought of Western civilization and
went back a manageable woman of
twenty-five with the knowledge that
her parents would Immediately find a
husband for her, very possibly one not
at all in sympathy with her ideas. Fort
unately the chosen spouse was the
Count Iwao Oyana, who was himself ed
ucated in France, and as whose wife she
has taken immediate rank in social and
philanthropic circles in Toxic. A num-
Der of Japanese women have since come
to this country as students and several
are here now. Miss Shige Nagai entered
the Vassar School of Music in 1878, and
made a love match with Lieutenant
Uric, of the japanese navy, who was
educated by his government at our
Naval Academy at Annapolis, and first
met his piquant oOuntrywoman at a
Vassar fete to which number of An
napolis youth were invited. The we'd
ding was agreed upon before either re-
turned home. One of the festivities
attendant on the marriage in Toxic was
the amateur presentation of ''The Mer-
chant of Venice" before the court and
Mikado. Miss Ume Tsuda studied at
the Archer Institute in Washington,
and is now teaching in Toxic in the
Peeresses' School for Japanese Noble
women.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

Let Children Have Pet Dogs.

'Do you know" says doctor, chat
young dog is the healthiest thing in the
world to bring up young child with? L
don't mean that the dog shall actually
sleep with the child, but be with it con-
tinually-be played and romped with.
There is something in the mere healthy
animalism of the dog which goes to make
the child healthy. For dog can catch
every disease from a child, and just by
being about can often decrease the vio-
lence of an attack-take off some of the
disease, you know. But a child never
takes disease from dog. OF course
the dog should be accommodated to the
infant. A delicate baby should not be
with rough and vigorous young dog.
Nor should healthy and hearty child
have too small companion puppy. To
carry out this principle still further, a
dog is of great benefit in a consumptive's
room. For one in the early stages of
that disease the constant presence of a
dog is the best thing / know of."-Chi-

Medical properties of Vegetables.

Spinach has direct effect upon the
kidneys. The common dandelion, used
as green's, is excellent for the same
trouble. Asparagus purges the blood.
Celery acts admirably upon the nervous
system, and is cure for rheumatism and
neuralgia. Tomatoes act upon the liver.
Beets and turnips are excellent appe-
Tiers. Lettuce and cucumbers are cool

Onions, garlic, leeks, olives and shalots,
all of which are similar, possesses me-
dicinal virtues of marked character,

the consequent increase of the saliva
and the gastric juice promoting diges-
