1t was not long after this that he said to his
private secretary, Judge Noah. now one of the
Oldest and best known correspondents In Wash
ington: II wish to prepare an address to my
constituents arraigning this administration,
and want you to help me-" Judge Noah be-
gan work, and scholarly address was drawn
up, arraigning the administration and calling
attention to the neglect that had been accorded
Alabama and her senior Senator. Senator
Spencer believed that, in justice to himself, he
should circulate something of this character,
because the people of Alabama were unable to
understand why their leader was so lacking in
influence with the administration. Spencer
was great friend of Charles Sumner, then a
Senator of the United States, anG he took this
address, when it was completed, and called
upon Sumner to submit it to him. Sumner
read it over very carefully, and in second in
terview. short time afterward, he told SEN
ator Spencer that he thought that it was too
personal in its tone, that 1t betrayed too much
rancor. He offered to prepare a statement to
be submitted for it which he thought would be
more effective Senator Spencer consented to
this, and the paper was left in Mr. Summers
hands. The whole question remained in sus-
pense for some time. 1t was about this time
that President Grant conceived the idea Of an
nexing San Domingo. ENJOYS were appointed
to negotiate its annexation, and scheme was
drawn up, to which the Government of San
Domingo assented, and which needed only the
approval of the Senate.

THE fact that Adiutant General Hastings

THEAfac that Adjutant General Hastings
ordered back the Pittsburg militia last
week is considered by the New York Tribune
to be "a splendid vindication of the civic
spirit OF the American people" and to show
that ''the capacity of our people for self
protection without military aid was never
illustrated under more trying circum-
stances" Possibly so; but does not the ad-
ditional fact that the militia was called out
again within forty-eight hours of the time
when the Adjutant General ordered it back,
show that the civic spirit perceived the
necessity while the official head was working
the idea through its covering of red tape?

THE esteemed Philadelphia Press says
that Canada will find sign up in Behring's
Sea reading, "Private Property. No Tres

express itself distinctly as to the question
whether it is either profitable or creditable
to this country to assert that an ocean as
large as the North Atlantic is the private
property of corporate monopoly.

DEATHS OF A DAY.
Leonard Svett.

CHICAGO, June 9.-Leonard SWEET died Saturday
afternoon at his home in this city. Mr.. SWEET was
of the old residents of Chicago, and for years
had been prominent member of the bar. He
made the nomination speech for Abraham Lin
coin for President in 1860, and performed the same
service for Judge Walter @. Gresham in 1888.
SWEET had been sufferer from brfght's disease
for some time past but notwithstanding this and
his advanced age, death was almost unexpected.
He was preparing to leave Monday on an Euro
pean trip, and only last night his stalwart figure
attracted attention on the streets while he was out
for stroll with his wife.

Not Difficult Mt All,

From the New York Graphic.1
A sly fellow caught party Of friends nap
ping in the Astor House rotunda Tuesday
night. He offered to bet cigars for all hands
that he could eat 100 fried eggs in five minutes
after they were placed before him. The bet
was accepted, and the fellow paralyzed them
all by ordering shad roe with bacon. 1t is un-
necessary to add that he won.

THE effect of the condition Of things at
Johnstown in causing the suicide of a
private in the Fourteenth Regiment, is a
sad one. The sight of so much destruction
and suffering must be very depressing; and
1t requires powerfully optimistic mind to
be able to say, like Governor Beaver, that
the case is not as bad as he supposed it to be.

EuFEE lf EHTlR'E Hll1,
A Story of Adventure,

And from our perusal of the Manuscript We have
no hesitation in declaring that the story will be
enjoyed by all classes of readers. Their SYM
pathies will be at once aroused in the characters
first introduced to their notice, and in the cir
cumstances attending a lamentable catas-
trophe which breaks up a happy household in
grief and despair. The hero of the story,
broken hearted and despairing fees to the
Cape, determined if possible to lose his life in
battle. He joins the Cape Mounted Rifles and
in active service finds the best solace for his
detected spirits. Romance is again infused
into his life by his success in rescuing from
the Kafirs young and beautiful lady, whom
he gallantly bears on horseback beyond reach
of their spears.
From this point the story takes up novel and
startling developments The hero's affairs in
the old country are adjusted by surprising
discovery, and The Curse of Carne's Hold" is
brought to happy and satisfactory conclusion.

The admission of Colonel Eugene Field,

Self Sacrifice.

Father Damien, who has been devuting
himself to the lcpers exiled at Molokai, in the
Sandwich Island group, is actually giving his
life to them. He is thus described by priest
who is his assistant: "Leprosy has done its
work-in turns, at his ears, his eyes, nose,
throat, his hands and his lungs. The poor
father is completely disfgured; his voice is
almost extinct. Fortunately he has yet the
use of his hands, which great number of
other people have lost; and also that his feet
are not yet falling to pieces as happens to SC
many here. He is yet SO useful, so necessary,
and that for many things. He has under his
charge over 100 leper orphans. This in itself
is not light burden, there being no one to
help US but leper boys; besides, the numbe,
increases every week. The father has also
begun about a month after my arrivaD to
build new church thirty by seventy feet,
forty feet of which is of stone, and the rest of
wood. We have only one mason, white
leper, an Irishman. Father Damien is the
head carpenter, and his helpers are two or
three leper boys. Although am not leper,
could not leave here to go to any other of
these islands without u proper certificate
from the board of health. But | have nc
wish to 60 anywhere My mission is here,
and here III remain" Doubtless this priest
will lie In the same grave which is destined
for Father Damien. York Sun.
