DR.. w. G. Kibbe, in Abbeviile. La,
at 1890 A. NJ. Saturday, February 20,
1892. Miss MARY Lou KIBBE, aged "a
years and z months.
'.The birds are silent in the trees,
With grief, each wild flower drops its
head,
THE butterflies have furled their wings,
For Nature whispers-She is deadT
death loves a shining MARK but the
dread Archer never sped fatal shaft at
one brighter oil purer than that which
has just severed all that was spiritual
from its earthly home in the lovely form
of MARY Lou KIBBE.
It is always sad to witness the grief
of fond loving parents and kindred at
the departure from homes loving circle
of some dear member, and we can well
understand the void and heart-aches
that such a departure creates therein,
but greater, indeed, must be the loss
that causes an entire community to
bow down in grief and sorrow and gives
vent to such lamentations, as bowed
down, and arose from this community,
when it was whispered in awe struck
and bated breath that the gentle pure
spirit of Mary Lou Kibbe had flown to
its Heavenly Home. Words are made
quate and pen too feeble to tell of the
many kind, loving acts that endeared
this noble, beautiful maiden to all with
whom she came in contact. Young and
OLD, all knew her but to love her. Her
thoughts were always with the friends
of her childh God and when distance
separated her from her home and COM
panions, even though surrounded by
Natures glorious beauties, she pinned
for her Southland home, as a Gagged
bird does for the free air of Heaven
and was meier SO happy S or the day
of her return to loving kindred and
friends. When absent from midst,
she left nothing undone that would en-
dear her to absent friends; our joys,
our griefs were shared by her with US.
When the ozark Angep entered the
home of the writer, and bore from
thence one of our darlings, the kindest,
most sympathetic letter was received
from far California, and the loving
hand that penned it, the gentle, noble
mind that formed the kind thoughts
that spoke with such loving condolences
to the grief stricken parents with such
womanly feeling to the mother, was
that of Mary Lou Kibbe. 1t was such
acts as this that the affections Of this
community were won by her, who loved
to do them. To her grief stricken pa
rents, sisters and brothers, no words
can assuage the grief caused by her
departure, and Time the great allevia-
tor of pain will be able to reconcile
them to her loss, only because it brings
them nearer to that journey that will
reunite them with her who has "gone
BEFORE but it must console them to
know that the earthly life of their dar-
ling was such that she was beloved by
all and that a whole people grieve with
them in their hour Of sorrow.
A consolation it must be, to them, to
know that their loved one realized that
she would soon be with her Heavenly
Father, for with the words II am going
home on her lips, her bright pure

SAM JONES knows Tammany. In a

went to hell in a body, they would knock
the devil on the head and elect their own
devil and run the place to suit them
selves. Tammany shows this disposition
with reference to the national democracy
1t is determined that its prejudices shall
have more weight in conventions than
the availability of any candidate or the
wishes of the majority of the party. Com
ing from a state denominated pivotal"
treachery toward the nominee on the
part of the organization may prove fatal
TO his success. This is the source of
Iammany's strength and it never fails to
hint at this poEer held in reserve.

EMPEROR WILLIAM continues to be
restlessly active in his attempt to form
combinations apparently for the peace of
Europe, but really to prevent France
from forming any alliance which would
give her prestige in European saffaIrs.
His latest move is to bring the car and
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria to-
gether in the hope that the latter might
induce the ear to look with less friendly
eye on alliance with France. With Rus
STA disinclined to form an alliance with
France, Germany could safely pursue
any European policy its interests might
dictate. Emperor William may be Eighty
at times but he is a shrewd and farseeing
politician.

Fortunately the convention rejected the

Henry Watterson characterized as a
'monstrosity" and which he said made
him wonder whether he was in a repub-
lican or democratic convention. The
utterancs of the platform now is clear,
concise and nnequivocal, thanks TO Wat

hoped that the delegates from this state

THERE were 1872 federal officers dele
gates to the Minneapolis convention. all
for Harrison. 1t is said 1000 Office hold
ers were present as shouters. This was
formidable array and explains in part
the strength shown by the President.
One cannot fail to contrast the action of
Harrison with that of Arthur under sim
liar circumstances. There were office
holders in the convention which defeated
Arthur but many of them were working
against the man whose official bread they
ate. Arthur was a spokesman in the gem
eral estimation: HARRISON is a civil SER
vice reformer. But some of the Pres.
dents official family did not hesitate to
intiame the ardor of the office-holders at
Minneapolis by assurances that their
services would be remembered
