From the Ottawa Journal, Nov. 8, 1891.
Republicans claim to be the sole
friends Of the old soldier. They talk
about copperhead Democrats and rebel
brigadiers, and wish It understood that
man or party who would support such
personages in preference to q union SOL
der, would be very reprehensible man
or party. Let's see. Who supported
John Lamb for office? The Republicans,
didn't they? What is John Lambs his
tory? Was he an old soldier? His
friends say he was not. His biography
in the Kansas biographies makes no
mention of any such thing as the war.
People who claim to know all about him
say that during the war he was what was
then known as a cOpperhesd-a Demo
crat who was opposed to carrying on the
war. More than this, we are told on
good authority that two years ago Re-
publicans in this township who voted for
him against Hanes, went to him after the
election and asked him to do as scores Of
his neighbors had done and as all good
citizens should do-sign petition ia
vorlng q service pension law. What was
the result? Did he sign It? No. He
said he did not believe in any such law
and would sign no petition for It. Now
then this is the man the Republicans of
this county have elected to immediately
step into the Office of county treasurer.
Who was the man the Peoples party had
pltted against him? Was he man too
cowardly or too reasonable to 60 into
war? No. Is he q man who tells you
he does not believe in the pension bust
ness? No; he is a pensloner himself.
He is an old soldier. He was one Of the
historic band In the bloody fray at Ala
toons, and has stood on as many and as
red southern battle fields as any other
man in the county. But the poor, con
temptible, lying Republicans, who make
such furious pretensionS to fondness fol

Democrats to helpA stay-st-hOme copper.

Mrs. Diggs at Redwood on the 9th
was grand success in every way. The
Jerry Simpson meeting Of the 14th took
the old parties by surprise. The Re-
publlcans were badly scared. They sent
for Sherman, rallied all their forces,
billed the whole country, advertised him
through the county papers, and got out
about the same number that we had for
the Simpson meeting. Sherman found it
necessary to bring Senator Allen, of
Washington, with him to meet the great
throngs In the little villages Of Union
county. Sherman waved the "bloody
shirt" at Redwood most vigorously. II
had been pre-arranged that Hon. ]. L.
Cameron, of Union county, should take
that part, but owing to the presence Of
Senator Allen, Sherman had to do the
Haunting lest Cameron would not get his
full share Of the work In. But Hon. (?)
J.L. Cameron got his work in on Mar
riott, the Peoples candidate for repre-
sentative, by saying that 1t was under

vote for the Democratic nominee for

just how President Harrison Is paid
perhaps one man in hundred knows.
1t is taken for granted, though, that
the President gets his hands on his
salary in some way and spends it very
much after the fashion OF other men,
says the Washington Post.
The statutes OF the United States
fix the salary OF the President and
other public officials. Mr.. Harrison
is entitled to 100000 year, and is
supposed to be paid quarterly, In
fact he is not. ..
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Crounse has charge of the payment of
salaries and once month he sends to

addressed to the secretary Of the
treasury in these words. please

of benjamin Harrison, president OF

and held accountable under the follow
ing head OF appropriations" The . c.
ton Of the statute is quoted and the
document signed by the assistant Sec
rotary.
The warrant for this amount Is then
issued and recorded in the proper
books, when it is sent to Treasurer
Nebeker who issues his draft on the
United States treasury in favor of the
president. This draft is no different
from any other, save that it is in the
name OF the president alone. II the
chief magistrate is in the city, it is
sent to the white house by special
messenger and delivered TO the presi-

There Is no monthly accounting
kept with the President or Vice Pres
ident, as with other officials. but at the
close of his term final settlement is
made between the Treasury Depart

Proctor as commissioners to mark the
lines OF battle of the different regi-

OF any information which the
Survivors of regiments or bat
teries participating in that action can
give them as to the whereabouts on
the field Of the different commands on
the night OF September IL, 1862. Both
union and confederate soldiers are
asked to furnish any data which will
aid the commissioners in their work,
for they intend to make it as complete
as possible. The last congress appro-
priated $4,000 for this purpose, and
the commissioners met In Washing ton
last week for the first time, and have
mapped out plan on which to work.

Hernhardt in Australia.

Sarah Bernhard has arrived at Sgd
ney and has been received with ex-
traordinary honors says the Pail Mall
Gazette. The mayor went 10 meet
her and an official pronounced a dis
course" Tragedy queens have their
privileges, and the discourse was fol-
lowed by an official reception. The
harbor was decorated as If for a re-
gatta. and the town was Illuminated
at night. In the discourse the mayor
called Sarah "la divine" and
during the reception the goddess
was interviewed just like an ordinary
mortal. The points Of great import
ance to the collector OF Bernhard
gossip may be taken as established by
this Sydney visit. One hps reference
to the outside of Sarah's head, the
other to the inside, and both show
the varium ct muttabile quality OF the
woman. 1t is hard to say which is
the more important of the two; she
has changed her complexion-and
her hair. In Paris, London, New
York and Chicago she was blonde.
The portraits that have preceded her
to Sydney and reused general enthu-
siasm in that capital have represented
her with golden locks.
But the tedium OF the voyage from
one hemisphere TO the other had to be
beguiled. The great actress had
leisure to think about great SUBJ
ject and one fine day she dyed her
hair new tint and altered her COM
plexion to suit the change, and so
our golden-haired Sarah lands at
Sydney a brunei. So much for that
part OF the head usually called the
outside. The other detail deals with
opinions. Sarah was rather political
in France and very political in Hol-
land. In Australia she seems to have
ceased to be political and to have
commenced to be polite. The inter-
viewer asked her whether she was
not republican and she replied that
she left such matters to men.

Lnnytry i'm California.

There are incidents of Langtry's
visits to California which are OF in

published. 1t has been said, and with
truth. no doubt that she old many
shrewd things in the way of adFertis-
ing. At one time she rented a house
somewhere out in the Mission and
tried to make everybody believe she
intended TO remain here until gath
cred to her fathers, when she would
be laid away In an elaborate vault
in Laurel Hill cemetery or some
other city of the dead.
But it was all myth. Then she
bought some ground over in Nevada,
had hole dug in it and called it the
Langtry Mine. Sam Davis, we'll
known newspaper man, says he sold
her the ground for 5000. She was in
the statue scene of Galatea in "Pyg-
malion and Galatea," and during the
scene Davis was in the wings. She
dare not move a muscle. He said
in low voice: Ills it bargain for

remained still, and when the Lily
came out afterward she was SO taken
with the originality OF the scheme
that she paid the money over at once.

Not Unlikely.

ut is not unbelief that makes any
man strong. Not by the shutting out
of anything, not by the shutting out a
lie, does power come. 1t cannot come
by any negative. It must be positive.
Deny the falsehood with all your
power and voice. That is your duty.
But that does not make you strong. 1t
only makes you ready to be strong.
Having turned the lie out Of doors, you
throw these same doors open TO the
truth. Then strength will come pour
ing In. 1t has always been through
men OF belief, not unbelief, that
power from God has poured into man.
IL is not the discriminating critic, but
he whose beating, throbbing lie
offers itself a channel for the divine

For one long hour we held that front

on the broad of his back with d
ghastly wound IN the side---the other
right across his Breast with his left
arm and shoulder torn away. There
was an odor OF burning cloth as we
stood over the bodies, and not know
ing whether the poor fellows were
dead or wounded we rolled the first
one off and found his jacket on tire
over his chest. The shirt beneath
was burning also. and it was in strip
ping the garments Off that we made
the discovery. 1t was young
woman about 20 years of age, her hair
cut short and her face and hands brown
with tan.
On making our report the body was
ordered to be carried to the rear, but
before this could be done our whole
line was pressed back, and none of us
ever saw 1t again. Regiments, COM
panys and squads were so mixed up
on that field that we could not tell to
what command she belonged. Tho

Philadelphia after her earliest years.
Her education included the mastery
of Italian, French, Spanish and
Hebrew. She had been a musical
student and further illustrates her YER

stenography, and architecture. She
has three children, to whom the let
