What has the protective tariff done for
this country in the past thirty years;
The nited States has grown to have the
largest internal and external commerce OF
any nation on the globe, and has developed
into the greatest manufacturing country IN
the world. Shall we now stand by pohcy
which has done all this for us, or shall We
abandon it, and throw away what we have
gained during all these Years and have made
our country the greatest and most respected
country on the face of the globe: But
while the Republican party might
we'll rest upon its laurels ii has
no purpose of 80 doing. 1t is a progressive
party. There never has been moment of
its history in the past'when ii has not been
abreast of the times, and ii still proposes to
20 on. II is not party that predicts pow
erty and calamity--it believes in progress,
in protection to American Industries and
American labor and it predicts the success
If these principles at the polls on the sth
of November next The great destiny of
this country governed by Republican prn-
cples has but just begun, and its future is
bright with new prosperity and a richer de-
yelopment of all our industries.

"And were you in it?" Yes, answered
the veteran; "sy company lost its first
man today--twenty-eight years ago"
slow was he killed." "lIe was shot by
one OF our company" came the uner-
pocted reply. "The fact is we were
frightened by the movements OF the
enemy. He was playing Dixie and
the Bonnie Blue Flag 80 near to us
that we could distinctly hear him, when
suddenly there was an alarm and every
man in my regiment shot off his gun.
That created a terrible racket, and /
who had never bpen under firo-sup-
posed that we were attacked by the
whole rebel army. In the midst Of
my confusion heard the voice Of the
colonel Of my regiment shouting:
Cease firing, menN Then, finally
when the firing had ceased discovered
that one poor fellow was dead. He had
been shot through the back by rear
rank man. and the duty deyolved On
me OF writing to his family and giving

THIS WAS QUICK WORK.
A Railroad Locomotive Was Built and
Finished In Ten Hours.

Who would think, to look at big
railway locomotive that il could by
any possibility br put together in less
than one day? London EHginerriag
described in detail the accomplishment
of such feat. Ii was done at the
Stratford works Of the Great Eastern
Railway OF England The locomotive
was "A standard freight locomotive Of
the SIN-coupled type, weighing more
than thirty-seveu tons. and able to
haul load of 500 tons From the
driving OF the first rivet TO the APP
plication of the final coat of varniSh.
the work occupied less than ten hoursl
The fastest piece Of work oi this kind
previously on record was the erection
in 1883, at the Altoona works of the
Pennsylvania Railway Company, OF a
freight locomotive of the four-cuupled
type in sixteen hours and fifteen min
utes. 1t is said, however, that the
two eases are not properly comparable
For he Pennsylvania engine the
frames had already been erected, with
all their cross connections the cyliu-
ders fixed, the motion parts set, aud
the croSs-head, weigh-bar and other
parts put in place.
In the recent work mt Stratford. ON
the other hand, absolutely not stroke
Of the work ef erection had been be-
gun. The various parts of the loco
motive, as made TO standard guage
and dimensions, were gathered to-
gether, but not a rivet was in place,
nor We're any two pieces put together
The start was made at nine o'clock
in the morning, and eleven minutes
afterward the first rivet was put into
the frames, The cylinders were set
and fixed in one hour and seventeen
minutes. Four hours and seventeen
minutes from the start the boiler was
in place, and all hour and twenty min
utes later the engine was wheeled.
The wheels were supplied Just as
they left the shops, and the eccentric
sheaves had to he fixed, and the axle
boxes, connecting-rod and coupling
rod brasscs fitted by the erectors
Eight hours and twenty-five minutes
from the start the valve setting was
completed and the painting OF the
engine was begun fifteen minutes
later. In nine hours and forty-seyen
minutes from the start the engine and
tender were completed in every de-
tail.
One hundred aud thirty-seven men
were employed, divided rs follows:
On the engine, eighty-tive, of whom
thirty-nine were filters; two were
smiths, aud forty-iour were boiler
makers, riyet boys, etc. On the tender
were employed tifty-two, namely, six
teen filters, sixteen boler-makers and
twenty laborers.
The work was done in seven hours
of one day and two hours and forty
seven minutes Of the following fore
noon. The locomotive was put into
regular work on the day it was COM
pleted, and has been running contin-
uously since.
The average time for building an
engine and tender IS eight days.

Extravaganza in Old Times.

Speaking of the extravaganza of
women in our day, Marie de Medicis
had gown sown with $4,000 pearls
and 5000 diamonds. and her example
was followed by lesser personages, who
eheerfully expended more than their
incomes on gowns so laden with pre-
e'ous stones that their wesrers could
scarcely move about in them Nine.
de Montespan, the beauty who reigned
at the court of Louis XIV, wore at one
great court festival "a gown of gold on

with certain gold which makes the

Mourning Colors.

Black is the aim ost universal mourn
ing color in Europe, but there are few
exceptions. For instance, in Russia
black is never used for covering cot
fins, the cloth being Of a pink shade
when the deceased Is child or young
person, a crimson color for women,
and brown for widows. Italians do
not use black cloth, white being used
IN the case Of child and purple vel
vet in the case Of adults.
