FAITHFUL JOHN SHERMAN.
The Grand Old Leaders Devotion to r,
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 dete -mination to take the
stump for Foraker an evidence that
the Senator is still an earnest aspirant
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
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-
Ican 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, If living, be seventy when the
President chosen in that year takes
ONCE, 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 pavement

General sarnum's Bravery.

General Henry A. Barnum, Of New
York, lately received from the War
Department a medal of honor for dis
tinguished conduct in action in the late
war. At Gaines Mills his gallantry
was commended by his superior Off
GERS. At Malvern Hill. in the autumn
of 1862. while leading his regiment in
an attack, he was shot through the
body and left for dead on the field. The
following spring he was mustered out
of the service, the two years for which
he enlisted having expired. He imme-
diately re-entered the service. raising
the One Hundred and Forty-ninth
New York Volunteers. During the
military operations following the battle
of Chickamauga, including the famous
battle above the clouds" of Lookout
Mountain and the hot fight at Mission
airy Ridge, Colonel Barnum's regiment,
the One Hundred and Forty-ninth New
York, captured five rebel flags out of a
total of eleven taken in action at Chatta-
nooga. Its commander, who still carried
an open bullet-hole through his body
from the wound received at Malvern
Hill, was shot through the sword arm
under the towering crest of Lookout
Mountain. General Geo. A. Thomas
attention was directed to the One Hun
dred and Forty-ninth by reason of
these facts, and having assured himself
of Colonel Barnum's great personal
bravery in the battles at Chattanooga,
he. by special order, conferred upon
Colonel Barnum the highest honor in
his power by selecting him to carry the
captured flags to Washington and de-
liver them to the Acknowledgement

lutionizing the equipment of its cars and
making them superior 10 anything of the
kind In the world One of the greatest i'm
p-ovements is the lighting Of the cars with
gas. The New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad Company is also ecuipping
Its passenger coaches with gas. About one
hundred OF them running out Of New York
City have been so equipped. The gas is COM
pressed in a cylinder under each car, and
one filing of a cylinder will last the round
trip between New York and Chicago. The
gas is made from petroleum, and furnishes

Referring to Shallenberger's Antidote for

of Faith would say, that he gave this med
icine a personal trial, and was speedily
cured OF an unpleasant intermittent Fever.
He then recommended 1t to F. ]. Tiefen-
braun, 1915 Papin street, and to police OH
GER Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both OF
whom were cured by it of chills and fever
OF several years standing. Recently his
wife, after fever of several days dura-
ton, took a single dose and was perfectly
cured. In view of these remarkable cures,
and remembering how much money is spent
for quinine, 50 little to be depended upon,
and often so injurious, we can only wish
that Shallenberger's AntiGote would come
into general use.

thought he had won, as the finish,
being opposite the club house. could not
be seen, and it was only when mo. 10"
went up that the crowd was sure as to the
winner. Then winners and losers alike
joined in cheers for the victor and his
lucky pilot who made his way back to the
Jockeys room surrounded by his friends
and fellow jockeys, all eager to extend
their warmest congratulations
The twenty-three starters assembled in
the paddock before the race and received
the finishing touches before at least a
thousand anxious betters. When the last
