Prevalent Harrl,on.

In President Harrison the Republican
party has n candidate for whom neither
apology nor defense is required. His
record as a soldier, as IL legislator and
as President is known of all men, and
the more it is studied the more admir-
able it appears. The President has
been the soul of his own administration.
However able his lie%utenants. he has
been the commander-in-chief; and the
stamp of Harrison is on all the great
achievements that II marked his
three years of government. The two
features of President Harrison's pres
ent term that will take rank among the
great events of this generation are the
enactment of the Mckinley law and the
%outspokcn and aggressive assertion of
with Great Britain and with Chilli.
prompted by a patriotism that knew
no guide save the honor and interests OF
the United States, President Harrison
was as rcsolutc i'm dealing with power
fIl England as with the South American
republic. The ultimatum which the
President sent to Chilli, when that ma
zion refused to give satisfaction for the
murder OF American sailors and the in
suit to the American uniform, was no
more positive i'll tone thar the final
notice to Lord Salisbury ON the subject
of Behring Sea. The result is that the
American flag and the American name
are regarded everywhere with greater
respect than before President Harrison
assumed tho reins of Office. England
has receded from her menacing position
and has agreed to arbitration, and
neither Chill nor any other state will
insult the flag or do willful harm t o
citizens Of the United States in the
future.
President Harrison has performed his
part in directing tho internal affairs of
the country with eminent sagacity. He
gave hearty approval of the Mckinley
law. The same Unborn Americanism
which led him to assert American rights
against foreign arrogance. jealousy and
hostility made the President a firm adj

Tho Man with the wax r ce..

A French medical journal tells of a
remarkable surgical operation, per-
formed upon a certain Joseph Moreau,
a soldier in the army of the North,
whose eyes, nose, teeth, and lower
Jaw and, indeed, his whole face was
shot away by a she'll in the battle OF
Bapaume, January, 1871. Although
he was left on the field for dead, he
managed to stagger to a neighboring
village, where he was cared for by the
doctors. Later on n of the most
distinguished surgeons of the day APP
piled to the head, which was left al
most without human semblance,
a wax mask so clevcrly adapted to the
healthy portion of the skin as to APP
pear quite continuous with it. This
mask, as the years have passed. has
become firmly attached to the head,
the skin having grown around the
edges. and has permitted the unfor-
tunatc wearer to appear less an OBJ
Ject of repulsion to his fellow men.
Moreau has now got quite used to
breathing through the false nostrils,
and by the help of an artificial jaw
worked by a portion of the original
bone, he is able to eat comfortably
and masticatc the toughest kind of
food.
His voice has rcgained its natural
quality and the sense of smell has
come back to him with even more
than natural acuteness. OF course,
he sees nothing through the false
eyes which look out from his waxen
features with a CLASSY stare, but it is
long since he has acquired the peace
of mind with which blind men are SO
often blessed, and in all the canton
of Landredies, where he lives there is
not a happier man or n more fond
of telling and listening to a good
story than he who is known as the
"Man with the Wax Face" He lives
modestly on his pension, and adds to
his resources by the sale of a little
pamphlet giving a scientific account
of his wonderful cure.

The Best sunshine,


All sunshine is delightful, but the
best of all kinds is sunshine in the
home-the sunshine of a loving,
cheerful spirit. Better even than
the sunlight and warmth of Heaven
is that Of a cheerful face, having, as
it does, a kind and cheerful heart.
No one understands it, or fails to feel
Its influence. A bright eve, an UNI
clouded brow, q loving word, all tell
of peace, Joy and delight in the pleas
ure of others. One glance at such a
face has lifted the mists and shadows
from many a heavy heart, and scat
tered the fogs from many a burdened
spirit. A bright, warm. cheerful
face inside the home will drive away

is favored, with all dollars, whether Of

The purity and freedom OF the ballot

American citizens in certain Southern
States denounced. The development of

the building up of the navy are strongly
supported. The Monroe doctrine is re-
affirmed and the control of the Nicaragua

The proper restriction of immigration by

She e,ould Run.

She Could Hun.
The Rev. III. w. Picrson, ID. d.,
was for many years q travelling agent
of the American Bible Society in the
Southwest. For a part Of that time
he rode u horse of which he was Justly
proud, and of which he speaks again
and again, always in terms of eulOgy,
in his volume Of "reminiscences, s.In
the Brush" One night he arrived at
a celebrated watering place. A four
horse stage-coach drove up at the
same time, and DR.. Pierson noticed
the eyes Of the driver and the passen-
gers fixed admiringly upon his
"Jenny." The colporteur entered
the hotel, registered his name-with-
out pretlx-.and went to the wash
room. AS he finished his additions
and stood wiping his face, the stage
driver burst into the room with great
excitement.
"Mr. Person." he said, "will you
allow your horse to run? The money
is up, and we'll have a race if you'll
only say the word"
AS he spoke he shook in the agents
face a mass of bank-bills drawn
through his fingers after the manner
of gamblers in those parts.
Mr.. PiersOn was startled to hear
his name pronounced in this way by a
stranger, but bethought himself at
once of the hotel register. Just then
Il servant appeared with his saddle
bags, waiting to show him to his
room, and with al abrupt, emphatic
'sNo. sir" he turned away.
In due time the supper-bell rang,
and Mr.. Pierson stepped out of his
room upon the piazza. There he en-
countered a gentleman who at once
approached him pleasantly and said:
81 hope, SIR" you will reconsider
your decision, and allow your mare to
run. l have made a bet that she can
!outrun anything here, and the money
lis up. Allow me to say that l am an
old Virginian, and a judge Of horses,
and if you will let her run / am sure
to win"
BY this time the Bible Society's
agent had recovered his self-pos-
session. He bowed politely to his
Nirginian friend, and said:
sDo you think, sir, it will do for a
Presbyterian clergyman to commence
horse-racing so soon after reaching
the Springs?"
Now it was the other mans turn
to be tlustered. He did not say a
word, and DIR. Pierson went in to
supper. When he came out again,
the stranger made up to him in the
most respectful manner.
"Allow me to speak to you again,
sir. l wish to apologize. l beg your
pardon, sir. / assure you, sir, that
nothing would induce me knowingly
to insult a clergyman"
Or. Pierson made some ood-natured
reply. and thought nothing more
about the matter.
The next winter. in passing through
another part of the country. he
stopped at Il blacksmith shop to get a
shoe frightened.
s'Wasn't you at the Springs last
summer with this mare:?" said the
blacksmith.
The doctor answered in the atfirma-
tive.
WELL" said the blacksmith, pat
ting the mares neck and looking into
vacancy with IA pleased expression, as
if he were living over again some
pleasant scene, '.they got her out,
preacher, and her. anyway"
Then, as If to make the matter all
right with the owner, he looked up
into his face with a smile and an en-
phatic nod as he added, "And,
preacher. she beat, she did. He won
his money!"
