LEAF TORN FROM SOLDIERS DIARY.


June %, 1862, there was lull in
the strife The battle had waged all
day, and the weary and wounded lay
down with the dead and dying to snatch
moments repose, if haply they might.

may not be the best term to use. Bat,

The pain in my temples, the parched
condition of my throat, and the inces-

gether with the memory of an incident
Of the morning, made me sick with a
nervous dread. For once in my life

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.

Democratic victories always comes
when they DO not count. The Demo-
Gratis happened 10 elect a Governor in
Rhode Island last election and haven't
got over rubbing their hands with glee
since then. Ex-Gov. II. w. Ladd, of
that State, says that Rhode Island is
not Democratic. These are his words;
"While it is true the Democrats elect
ed a Governor of our State at the last
election, | do not believe there is a ma
jority OF Democrats. The Republicans
we're apathetlc, and did not turn out.
But in the Congressional fight in the
two districts | think both of the Repub-
hcan candidates will be elected.
Although an off year the people
have been considerably stirred up by
the Republican victory IN Maine, and 1t
will have the effect of bringing out q
full vote, predict. Then Mr.. Blaine's S
stand IN favor of reciprocity has met
with the approval of large majority OF
the Republicans in the State. They see
the Secretary OF State has hit the nail
on the head and that what he saws is
sound aud feasible. Mr.. Blaine's letter
TO Senator Frye and Editor Clapp, of
Boston. have iully explained his views
aud our people are with him. We
would like to have reciprocity with the
South American countries on equal
terms, but not when the advantage is
all for them and against us. These live
questions before the country Will arouse
the Republicans everywhere ana ] think
will insure Republican victories"
Ths Democracy has also claimed the
result IN Vermont, or at least a half vic.
tory. Here is what Congressman J. w.
Stewart of that state has to say:
at was one of those things that may
be expected n an off year. The Re-
publicans were not united, and at least
II 900 remained at home and did not
vote. There we're two candidates for
the nomination of governor before the
Republican convention, and the one
who was defeated was quite popular
This, no doubt, had some effect in
checking the enthusiasm IN our party
aud caused an inharmonious feeling
But the Democrats need not coun;
upon Vermont as n Democratic state.
'In a national election the regular
large Republican majority will be gwen
The Democrats were simply assisted by
circumstances and not by their own in,
herent and supposed growing strength.
The Republicans, however, elected
their governor by n majority not a:
large as usual"
II is the old story of Republicans
working of little differences among
themselves At elections that donot have
any particular significance. No Dem
ocrstic victory. that was predicted
upon Republican "oH year" rcversei
has ever yet developed.

A LETTER FROM STANLEY
"The End Crowns the work"

Stanley's experiences n the gloom of
the painless African wildernesses have
had a wonderful effect in developing
the spiritual side of his nature. His re-
lance upon divine power was one Of
the most striking things conveyed IN
the letters that brought the earliest
news the success of his mission.
Much OF the same tone characterizes

it is clear that the general idea of a
Congressman's qualifications must be
revised. Brains, honesty, knowledge
of public affairs, patriotism may be
very desirable things in private life,
but it IS evident that big feet, the art of
boxing, full vocabulary Of foul IAN

regard for all decency and honor will
carry man to the front n Congress" "
