A HARD OLD PARTY.

Look by Contraries ut the Thirty
Years Republican Record.
Tough old party, isn't it? just look
at its history.
Born over thirty years ago, in two
or three different places
Was in favor of the extension Of
slavery, which National evil the Demo
Gratis abolished in 1868
Was in favor of States rights as
taught by that staunch old Abolition
ist, John c.. Calhoun, of South Caro-
lima.
Advocated secession as a constitu-
tional right and slavery as divine
institution.
Fired on Fort Sumter in April, 1861.
and kept at it until the rebel Demo-
Gratis in command surrendered.
Look at the vast armies of Repub-
licans that fought for the establish
ment of Southern Confederacy, tue
perpetuity of human slavery, the
supremacy Of the State and free
trade.
Count the thousands of Republicans
who surrendered to General Lee at
Appomattox and were permitted by
the jeff Davis Unionists to retain
their side-arms and ride their mules to
their loved ones at home.
Go through the reconstruction peri
cd and see how the Republicans re-
sisted every attempt to restore the
Union. to amend the constitution and
to ameliorate the condition of the
slaves freed by the Democrats.
We have omitted to speak of the
resolution adopted by the Republican
National convention in 1864, declar-
ing the war failure and demanding
the cessation of hostilities, but you all
remember that .-...
You remember. too, how the Repub-
licans opposed the resumption of specie
payments and how bitterly they
fought all propositions looking to the
restoration of the Nations credit.
How they inaugurated the Ku-Klux-
Khan and spread terror all over the
country by their deeds of violence.
How ugly they felt when the Ma
tion's credit was restored by the DEM
ocrats and our Government bonds were
in demand at big premium.
How the Republicans opposed the
Homestead law. and the granting Of
pensions to disabled Union soldiers.
How they tried to abolish protection
and adopt section OF the Constitution
OF the Confederate States of America
as to the fixed policy of the country.
Tough old record, isn't it?-Detroit
Tribune.

A Brief But Thrilling Romance Of West

They stood by the crest Of the hill over

nificent stream beneath whose placid breast
the bones of noble De Soto for centuries
have rested. ''She had cheeks like cher

The threatening clouds of afternoon had ST
lently stolen away, shepherded by the low
unwilling winds. Fleecy vaporous abysms
Of beauty, like coGuettish hands, were
raised, waved before the face of the silvery
moon, then dropped or brushed aside like
dew before rising sun. He stood silent
and forbidding of aspect, while she shrunk
from him as a frightened dove in tn;
presence of a bowling storm. Presently no
spoke: .. .
"Wlhelmina, we have been in America

love and faithfulness imprinted upon my
lips. Your father, your mother, and the
whole village witnessed our plighte6 troth
upon the green. You babe me goodbye,
and wept upon my bosom. No one was ig-
norant of our love. YOU have learned the
language and the customs of the new
world. You have labored and saved.

have been married when met you at Cas-
tie Garden, but you refused to be DOVER
less bride. Why do you longer say me nay,
and refuse to name day for our wedding.
Tell me tonight, or yonder river shall en-
tomb me forever"
Like the sough of the winter winds
through the leafless boughs Of the entranced
trees her sobs rended the twilight air. Her
breast heaved like the bIllowy crests of
ocean. She gasped:
Darling Fritz, mine own Fritz. There is a
yawning chasm between us which you can
not see. Think Of me as one unworthy of
your love. Forget me after this night and
write my name among the dead. We shall
never more meet. Give me one last, long,
lingering kiss, as we used to kiss In the
beautiful Bingen on the Rhine; and then
we must part, never to meet again. lean

will be buried with me. We shall never
wed. Kiss me, Fritz, and kiss me good
bye"
His quivering lips give token of the grief
he'd fain conceal, but into his outstretched
arms she falls and lies weeping upon his
breast as he presses her to his heart and
clings lovingly, but with awe, upon her eyes,
cheeks, mouth and neck. He rains down kiss
IS as from a Calling gun. They smother. be-
wilder, enthral her. She forgets her sor-
rows and the woeful fate upon her. All is
over. She is his, and he is hers. The spell
is broken, as many spell has been broken
before, by OSCILLATION. The Chicago drummer
who gave her the glass diamonds is in the
consomme. His cake is dough. She did
not elope with Adolphus. He had con-
scented to that last meeting between Will
helmina and Fritz, the baker; and he lost.
Fritz triumphed. Kisses are worth
royal flush Of promised air castles every
time. Happy Fritz Disappointed Adolphus.

and outlandish place! Where were those
Johnnies, any way!
That there had been some egregious mis-
take somewhere began to dawn on US
plainly, for there was not a rebel soldier in
the vicinity, nor no signs of recent camp
as we could see
A groan of disappointment and exasper
ated ambition ran over the regiment, and
the soldiers began to indulge in some very
warm portions of the English vocabulary
pretty freely. That they were ''mad' would
be putting it mild, for some at least.
''Crab Orchard" the dispatch had said;
there was no mistake about that, and it
came from Thomas, too. Well, this was the
place, surely; but who was able to go fur
Their and clear up the mystery and answer
the dozens of irate and vexed Questions!
Turner'S face grew two shades blacker
than the night, and elongated dreadfully.
''The devilr' exclaimed he. ''This is war,
now, isn't it'll A dozen French duels sim
mered down till there isn't even the coffee
left amounts to more than this"
I'D like to bayonet the dumbed idiot that
has fooled u.s. To my mind General Thomas
hadn't a thing to do with that dispatch.
Some dod-gasted butternut has clipped in
and given US this goats milk business"
But tuning, of course, did no good; there
was nothing to do but remain where we
were for the rest of the night, and lop
down to sleep and forget our disappoint-
ment or anathematize the wee sma' hours
just as we chose.
The next morning Burt Ferris, the wit OF
our company, noticing the glum, silent
Turner looking daggers at the innocent
Orchard" said: "Jack, had vision last
night"
''Fhe dickens you did," returned our
story. teller; 'what dye seel"
II dreamed" said Ferris, looking around
to see how many Of the boys were listen

the rebel General and his men lay on the
mountain above laughing in their sleeves tc
see the victims of their strategy so obedi
ent.
OF course, nothing was easier, when the
way was thus clear, than to come down and
march through Danville and go on their
way rejoicing.
Ever after that when any thing disap-
pointed, or some plan prove abortive, we
christened it "another Crab Orchard fight"
But Burt's vision had come to stay; and
in time, when Turner's wounded pride had
healed, he laughed as heartily as any one
over getting his "thumb on the enemy.''

Gath's Last Picnic.

When George Alfred Townsend bought
his country place on South Mountain, and
built his house upon it, he ruined q picnic.
ing place which had been used by the PEG.
pie Of the surrounding country for many
years. Some farmers came to him in the
summer Of 1885 and asked permission to
have private and selec: picnic on those
grounds. The distinguished journalist
readily gave permission, and the evening
was named. Invitations were sent to about
twenty-five persons, but when it became
known that the affair was to occur, every
laborer, farmland and tough in the vicin-
age invited himself. Beer bottles, water.
melons, whisky TASKS and other devices
for exhilarant pleasure were carried iu
pockets and baskets. There was a terrific
time at that festival. 1t extended into the
small hours of night, and the grounds were
filter for hog-wallow the next morning
than for the shaded lawn of q retired and
retiring literateur. The following Sunday
local preacher scored Cath unmerci-
fully from his pulpit, calling him a '.wins
bibber, drunkard and teacher Of
bacchanalisn revelry." There was no
newspaper published at "Gsplsnd," and
"Gath" was unable to get even with the
churchman. But he allows no more select
picnics on those grounds.

FAITHFUL JOHN SHERMAN.
The Grand Old Leaders Devotion to Re.
publican Principles.

The Grand Old Leaders Devotion to Re-
publican Principles.
Some Democratic party leaders find.
or pretend that they find, in John
Sherman's determination to take the
stump for Foraker an evidence that
the Senator is still an earnest asplrant
for the Presidency. Sherman. accord
ing to these individuals. hopes to con-
euer all opposition to himself in his
State by this course, and obtain the
honest and hearty support Of his
neighbors in his ambition. The infer
ence to be drawn, and designed to be
drawn, from this reasoning is that the
Senator, if he imagined that the
future held no higher political honors
for him than those which he has al
ready received, would take no part in
the canvass, and manifest not the
slightest concern in the fortunes of
the ticket OF his party.
All this is seriously unjust to Mr..
Sherman. During the forty -one years
which have passed since the day when
he was made one of the secretaries of
the Wing convention which nominal
ed Zachary Taylor for the Presidency
he has loyalty. earnestly and ably
supported his party in every emer-
gency which has arisen. He has done
this, too, in recent years. in the face
of temptations to resent the secret
perfidy of associates indebted to him
for political favors. In every can
vass which has occurred in his State
since he first entered public life he has
freely and earnestly aided his party
on the stump when he or the party
leaders believed such aid was needed,
although in the latter part of this
period he has met with more disap-
pointments than any other conspicu-
Gus publicist since Daniel Webster.
Nobody can tell whom the Repub-
lican National convention Of 1892 will
nominate. but the chances, at this dis
lance in time from the event, seem to
be decidedly against Sherman's selec-
ton. Age alone will probably rule
him out of the list of possibilities, as
he will, il living, be seventy when the
President chosen in that year takes
Office, or two years older than William
Henry Harrison, the most aged Of our
Presidents, was at his Inauguration.
This reflection will carry to tens Of
thousands Of persons all the force and
poignancy Of personal bereavement
