Judge Bedford was in reminiscent mood yes

story after story concerning public men and
events. extending over a period of forty years
In his experience as a politician. he has met all
the principal men of the country from Lincoln
and Dou glas to the preSe mt time and his memory
of events is vivid as though they occurred
yesterday. In speaking of war times, he said
that many of the most interesting facts con-
nected with that period were not known to the
public Tor years afterwards.
How many people know" inquired he, that
the prolonged two years mainly be-
cause the Rothschilds had S. 900 900 invested in
tobacco plants in the south! Yet such is proven
vestment had been secured the confederacy
went to pieces. Another interesting bit of
secret history is the correspondence passing
between Lincoln and Gen. Meade before and
after the battle of Gettysburg. Lincoln wrote
Meade saying that God had put Lees army into
his hands and that the government would be
satisfied with nothing short of the annihilauion
of the invaders After the smoke at Gettysburg
had died away and Lee was Sullenly retreating
toward the Potomac. Gen. Meade sent his resig-
nation to the President. Lincoln rer lied What

THE visit of the Russian feet to the harbor
of New York at a critical period of the war vas
also referred to by the Judge. England was
upon the verge of declaring in favor of the con
federacy. No sooner had this intelligence
reached the ears of the Czar of Russia than he
dispatched a naval squadron TO this side of the
Atlantic with sealed instructions, which were
not to be opened until the vessel anchored in
the New York harbor. Tho instructions were

In the death of Sir Richard Burton. writes
Eug re Field to the Chicago Neus, literature
has lost learned. indefatigabIe and valuable
contributor. take it for granted that before
ths date the local press has given fully the
history OF his long and useful career, yet
cannot forbear utting down the outlines of
bis life. He was born at Oxford in 1921, the
son OF a colonel: he was educated for the
church, but rebelled against that profession
and secured a commission In the Indian army.
Here he served nineteen years, half of which
period he was in active service. He had pas
sion for the study of language, and duly be-
came great lnguist acquiring q thorough
knowledge of eight Oriental languages, and be-
tongue. In 1884 Burton began his
explorations in Africa and continued
them for several years, suffering them
TO be int rupted only by a patriotic service IN
the Crimean war. In 1872 he was appointed
Consul at Trieste, and this post he held at the
time of his death. Wherever he went he ex-
plored and studied. the result being invariably
book of learning and of interest, the number
of his volumes reaching thirty. He conceived
and executed the design of trans atng literally
into English those famous tales known as the
Arabian Knights Entertainments. This
work he performed grandly. It will stand an
imperishable monument to his erudition his
patience and his audacity. The scandal caused
by the publication of these unexpurgatel booas
was tremendous. while regretting the decided
coarseness of the Arabic, said he, none the
less do consider it my duty to translate it word
for word as an honest contribution to folklore
to Arabism and to the art and mystery of trans
lation"
Lady Burton is a remarkable woman; for
thirty years she has been her husbands loyal
companion and con cientious servitor, assisting
him to a degree in his literary labors. IL was

Then Wen Save Better Times.

Such high-haa1ei lawlessnsss as charsc-
tsrized the last congress does more 20 N
settle the condition Of business throughout
the country than any other agency could
do. Such examples Of interruptions psrti-
san recklsssness and Incorporate threats Of
radical legislation, prompted chiefly by
sectional malice, keep commerce continu-
ally disturbed and capital inundated.
What the country most needs just now is
fair and equita de laws 50 far as possible I'M
partially drawn for the advantage Of the
whole country, irrespective Of geographical
position.
IRE than that, however, the country
needs a good long season Of rest. 1t needs
TO be let alone. When a tariff that is at all
just has once been fixed upon. it should be
allowed to stand. Disturbing trade does
more harm in general than slight differences
that are sometimes made 10 laws. Com
mercs of a profitable character IS usually
based upon long-running contracts
formed on the general conditions Of cost
Of production and supply and demand
as fixed at the time when sucl agreements
are made. When these conditions are radi-
cally altered by legislation they affect the
commercial and industrial world so ma
terially and dsastrously as to disarrange
existing relations, and entail great loss upon
all interests involved. Commerce is thus
paralyzed, aud capital is rendered con-
tinually apprehensiye.
Nothing could have more da maging
effect upon business than the incessant
pprehengon of hostile legislation. For
TINS reason, il for no other, our local and
general legislators should invari bly, be
conservative men of unquestioned character
and integrity, who can be relied upon TO
protect all Legitimate enterprises alike, aud
not succumb TO corrupt persuasion, SO TO
express it, TO favor those who could not
acquire the advantages they desire on their
own actual merits.
Confidence in the wisdom and integrity
of the men who make our laws has more
effect upon commercial aud industrial pros
perity than any other influence. 1t infuses
courage into capital and inspires industry
with enterprise aud feeling OF safety,
Therefore when we are once safely rid Of
the radical disturbing elements in congress
that have 50 demoralIZed the commerce of
the county by their rtc6less partisan legis-
lation, emanating from mere malignity
and desire for party advantages. the
magnificent majority Of capable represen-
tatives that the people have elected, will
protect all OF the material interests That
have lately been made to suffer, aud then
Wen have better times. Not before.

Pernicioua Pictures.

Lawsuits are frequently entered into
upon the most frivolous pretexts of late
years. But one recently started in st.
Louis, although of rather novel char .cter,
certainly appears to be based upon princi-
pie Of simple justice that has been alto
gether too long ignored with perfect i'm
uu iity.
This particular case in point is suit for
S3O,00O damages, begun in the name of
Helen s. kumsey. the 6-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Mary P. Rumsey. She brings suit
by her mother, as guardian, against Julius
c. Strauss, well-Snown photographer.
Mrs. Rumsey alleges in her child's petition
that by misrepresenta ion and fraud
Strauss obtained photograph of her lit
tie daughter. which he afterward exhibited
at the exposition and il the show window
at his place of business in opposition to her
wishes, and in defiance of her proteStations,
as an advertisement for a brand Of cha n =
payne. She says he took three pictures, the
first of which was made to represent little
girl in boys costume, with her face glow
ing with animation, and holding q wine
glass. catching wine as it spurted from a
bottle made TO appear about her hight.
Across the bottle was label, on which was
printed Anticipation" In the second pict-
ure the child was male to represent the
little girl standing with her back to the
same bottle, with an appearance
| of dru ken glee, a~d labeled
"Exhilaration." In the third picture the
little child is made to appear in the same
costume, but standing with her back to the
wine bottle, au expression of remorss de-
! picted on her face. At her feet lies the
broken wine glass, and the label reads:
"Expiation.n
Mr.. Strauss claims that the lady stood by
and consented to have the pictures taken,
and that sue only wants to force him to pay
"A ROYALTY. She denies that she had any idea
what the pictures were to be used for, and
that her object is to prevent use of them
for such purpose.
| IL the mothers statements are true. her
efforts are directed to very laudable pur-
pose, in which she can but command the
sympathy of all decent people These
bacchanahan pictures are not art. The
are simply vulgar and dsbaslng They have
been carried entirely too far 1t is high
time to stop. To put little child's pictu :.
to such base use is especially iniqui-
tous, to say nothing of the question of vo-
htion a-d personal rights.
