AN OLD WAR HORSE.
Confederate Charger That Reached
the Age OF Thirty-Three Years.

A Confederate Charger That Reached
the Age OF Thirty-Three Years.
There recently died on the farm of
Colonel Craighill, near the City of
Lynchburg, Va, horse that enjoyed
the supposed distinction of being the
only survivor in the South of the cavalry
steeds of the civil war. He had reached
the age of thirty-three years, but almost
up to his last hour, at the very time that
he had fallen into extreme decrepitude,
it is said that his spirit would at once
revive at the sound of cannon or mus
kerry, or the strains of martial music,
although SO long a period had passed
since he had gone into battle. His
original owner, having been member
of the famous StOnewall Brigade. had
christened him 'Old Jack" after the
immortal Stonewall, and the old horse
seems to have been worthy of the name
he bore, which was the familiar title
that the soldiers of jackson gave to
their great commander. ''Old Jack" re-
ceived two wounds in the various
charges in which he took part, but
neither could have been very severe, as
he had vigor enough left to live to
very advanced age for horse. From
the hour that the war ended, he had
been required to perform only very
light service, it being very properly
thought that no heavy burdens should
be imposed on an animal that had so
distinguished history. Upon his death
his owner gave him honorable burial,
and we understand proposes erecting a
suitable monument over his grave

SUBLIMATED IDIOCY.
Governor CampbelI'st Idea Regarding
BrIce's Senatorial Purchase.

Governor Campbell'ss Idea Regarding
BrIce's Senatorial Purchase.
Either Governor Campbell, of Ohio,
has lost what head he once had or he
has sublimated idiot for a private sec
rotary. That person was commissioned
to deliver Mr.. Calvin Brice's credentials
as Senator from Ohio, and according to
newspaper reports he delivered them,
not to Mr.. Brice, who is the Senator
elect by purchase, but to Mr.. Brice's
wife, and accompanied the presentation
with burst of oratory which-whether
it was his own or his employer's-wss
about the slushiest bit of rhetorical
balderdash imaginable. This is it:
Your distinguished husband has passed IN
scathed through the valley Of the shadow"
politically speaking. The campaign which has
Just terminated was perhaps the crisis Of his
political career. We therefore all rejoice with
you that the shafts of SANDER and malice aimed
at him during an exciting canvass have fallen
harmless at his feet leaving him with an I'M
sullied record and a spotless name. In the eyes
of the people the battle through which he has
gone has but served to cause the sterling quail
ties of mind and heart to stand out in holder
relief 1 congratulate you, madam on the hap
pleased to present you with this certificate of
your husbands election to the exalted position
Of United States Senator from Ohio
Besides being silly, this speech is full
of untruth- Mr.. Brice did not pass
unscathed-" There were no ''shafts of
SANDER and malice aimed at him" He
canvassed for his own election in way
that was unbecomlng, and honest news
papers said so. He claimed and got his
election solely as a reward for his lib
eral expenditures of money in cam
paigns, and his election was a triumph
Of Piutocracy over Democracy. Natur-
ally the independent press presented
the facts and protested against them in
the hope of saving the Democratic party
from the shame and the harm of send
ing q man to the Senate because Of his
money and without reference to his
brains
If Governor Campbell is responsible
for his secretary's silly and untruthful
speech he has discredited himself at the
outset of his service. Why should he,
Democratic representative of the people,
abase himself before this millionaire

GALLANT OLD SHERMAN.
How He Was interviewed and Kissed by a
Strange Young Woman.

How He Was Interviewed and Kissed by
Strange Young Woman.
Colonel L. N. Dayton, of Cincinnati,
who recently visited in Detroit, was
General Sherman's Acknowledgement
during the Atlanta campaign and on the
famous march to the sea. After the war
he received a commission as Captain
of cavalry in the regular army and was
detailed at General Sherman's headquar-
tiers, resigning in 1870.
Colonel Dayton has natural delicacy
about making the little peculiarities of
the brusque old General, with whom he
was so long associated, subject of con-
versation. but admitted while here the
authenticity of an incident which is re-
lated as happening the last year of the
war.
General Sherman was travelling to st.
Louis, with Colonel Dayton as his only
companion. The General had drawn
the cape of his big overcoat up over his
head one night and was endeavoring to
catch few winks of sleep, when the
train stopped for a few moments at
station. Colonel Dayton had got of the
train to stretch his legs in little prom
enade wheH a woman approached him on
the platform
You're a military man, aren't you?"
she asked.
''Yes." said the Colonel
please tell me what car General
Sherman is in, will you?"
1.-The brakeman there will tell you"
he said. wishing to shift the response
bility for disturbing the General By a
sign the brakeman was made TO under
stand that it would be all right and he
gave the desired information. The
woman entered the car designated,
walked to where the General was, and
began pulling at the cape over his head.
''Is it General Sherman
Eyes, madam" gasped the awakened
warrior.
General Sherman, l felt that 1 must
see you. wanted to look at you and
talk with you. had three brothers in
your army. in the Fifteenth Corps. Two
of them will never come back"
The General Strengthened up in a
minute and his eyes got little moist
He would have done any thing for her
after that. Three brothers in his COM
mand and two killed! He sat there and
talked with her with such courtly dig
nifty that, encouraged, a crowd of women
and girls, the companions of the sister
of the three soldiers, crowded into the
car. No one would have suspected that
his nap had been spoiled. The woman
who had awakened him was young and
by no means unattractive in appearance.
His color deepened as the train prepared
to pull out.
General is it's it-true," she asked,
hesitatingly, what they say about
your kissing the women wherever you

ca. RRrcE.s PURCHASE
n Is Burning Shame to Ohio and . Re-
proach to the Nation.

There are certain ludicrous elements
In the case of Colonel Brice which the
press'of the country is quick to grasp,
but the matter can not be disposed of
by the use of ridicule alone. 1t has a
serious side and demands grave treat
ment Colonel Brice is not a fit man
for Senator, to begin with. He has
never served the State or the country
in any public capacity. His acquaint-
ance with political economy is of the
most superficial character. He has had
no training or experience to qualify him
for the duties of such an exalted po-
sition. Blu. fdr his money he would
never have been thought of in connec-
ton with the Office. With his money
he was able to thrust aside candidates
of known ability and integrity and to
secure great honor by paying for it as
he would have bought a piece of prop
erty. This is burning shame to Ohio,
and it is also a reproach to the Nation.
A performance of that sort should not
be possible anywhere in this country,
and least of all in State so rich in her
record of worthy names and creditable
services. All of the States suffer when
one of them thus humiliates and dis
graces herself
This man Brice is no stranger to the
American people. They have had oc-
casion to note certain business proceed
ings on his part which were little bet
ter than Matchmaking jobs, and which
should have ruled him out of all decent
commercial society. But they saw most
of him in the last Presidential campaign.
He was the chief manager of the Demo
cratic canvass, selected at the special
instance of Grover Cleveland. His rela-
tions with the candidate of his party
for the highest Office in the country
were of the most intimate character.
They were in daily consultation, plan
ming and striving together for the sue
cess which the intelligence and patriot
ism of the people did not permit them
to achieve. 1t is we'll known that they
are still fast friends and fellow-con-
spirators in politics. Colonel Brice goes
to the Senate Endorsed and recommend
ed by Mr.. Cleveland. In SO far as the
latter's ambition for a denomination can
be promoted by the man who acted as
his manager in 1888, the service will be
rendered. The political and personal
friendship of the two men will not be
disturbed by the scandalOus transaction
at Columbus. Mr.. Cleveland will not
have word to say in criticism of Colonel
Brice's corrupt method of obtaining the
Senatorship; he has probably already
sent his warm congratulations to that
individual The country will hardly
fail to take account of the significant
relationship between these prominent
Democratic statesmen and reformers,
and to watch their future operations
with particular interest-St. Louis

Another South Carolina Murder.

The last week of 1889 closed with the
lynching of eight negroes in Barnwen
County, S. C. The first week OF 1890
witnessed another lynching in the same
county, the victim being a young negro
who had committed q pity theft in
the house of another negro. He had
been arrested by the inmates of the
house, who were taking him to the
nearest justice, when a white man took
him away from his captors, tied him to
tree and deliberately SHOT him. The
Governor, as usual, has offered reward
for the apprehension of the bloody
butcher, and, as usual, no one is making
any effort to earn it, though the muir
derer is we'll known 1t is only one
more ''nigger" out of the way, but some
day the blood of these murdered negroes
will CRY from the ground for vengeance
against the State which allows itself to
be disgraced by these repeated outrages
and brutalities. Chicago Tribune
