 Bloomingdale, where he passed the re. maining fifty-six years of his existence.
 At no time was he violent, and he was generally allowed to go and come at will. He imagined the asylum to be his pri. vate property, and received guests with grave and lofty politeness. He dressed elegantly, and made it point to attend all the funerals in the neighborhood. Before the war many rich families had their country houses near Bloomingdale, and with all of them the count was on cordial terms He made speciality of New Years calls. "Then, says one who knew him, it was a revelation of grace to see the count enter drawing room. No Chesterfield ever bowed more elo- quently,"
 The tiftieth anniversary of Fosters residence at the asylum was celebrated by grand ball. The count led the dance and shone as social leader. From his entrance until just before his death he kept voluminous diary. He had an annuity, and was extremly exact in set ting his accounts with the asylum. At the last he conversed sensibly, and passed away regretted by all who knew him. His body was inferred at Jamaica, l.. L

tered out, despite his gallantry and in- telligence. At Fort Donelson he received four wounds and lay for some months thereafter in Federal hospital at St. Louis. Immediately on recovering and securing an exchange he joined Bragg's army and shared its glory and privations until the close of the struggle. Then he returned to Louisville, resumed work as a printer and in time rose to the position of dramatic editor of The Courier-Jour- nal. His interest in military matters never Jagged, and for long time he held a captaincy in the Louisville Le- zion, crack militia organization. He was member of the Presbyterian church and of several secret societies. At his funeral there was a great gather ing of old soldiers and citizens, for, as one acquaintance put it, 'there was no more popular newspaper man in Louis vile"

A Real Saving Farmer.

There is farmer in Massachusetts who got his corn husked this fall with out cost. Last spring he sowed quan- tity of red corn in his field among the yellow, and then incidentally mentioned the fact to some of the male pupils of a neighboring high school. At once they solicited the privilege of husking his corn and furnishing the refreshments besides, and he granted both. The young people had good time and found enough red ears to satisfy them.-Phila- delphia Ledger.

MANUEL GANIMARA.

Downham Market, England, a general who wore the blue has just been ad- vanced to an important position and q private who wore the gray has been laid to rest with all the observances by which surviving comrades testify their respect to one who battled by their side through long and fiercely contested struggle.
 Manuel Ganimara marched to Mos COW with Napoleon nearly fourscore years ago. He was a vigorous lad of seventeen at that time, and his youth and strength stood him in good stead during the terrible retreat that followed. He remained soldier of France until after the event of Waterloo and even yet retains his admiration for the great captain in whose ranks he fought. On the return of the Bourbons he removed to England, married there, and has been resident of Norfolk county ever since. As is often the case with the very old, the memories of early experiences are ex- tremely vivid, and he delights to gather his great at-grandchildren about him and tell tales of the stirring days when he was "Boney's soldier"

GENERAL CHENILLE M. DODGE.
 1t is distinction of no small impor- tauce that recently came to General Grenville NJ. Dodge, of Council Bluffs, Ia. At the meeting in Chicago the So- ciety of the Army of the Tennessee elected him president to succeed the late General William Tecumseh Sherman. He was born at Oanvers. Mass, in 1881 and was graduated from military school when twenty years of age. He lived in the west at the breaking out of the war, and soon after the fall of sum. ter recruited the Fourth Iowa volun- teers. He went to the front as colonel of the regiment. He became brigadier general in March, 1862, did valiant serv- ice at Vicksburg, was made major gen. eral in 1864 and led the Sixteenth corps up to the time when Atlanta was cap tured. During the operations about that city he received severe wounds that in capactated him for further duty in the field.

WEARING GLASSES

IL is a trite observation that a very
large proportion of the public school
children of PROVIDENCE are obliged to
wear glasses. Those who are inclined
10 be jocular ascribe this TO subtle
etheric influences waited from Boston
way, but in our serious moments we
must seek some other explanation. It
cannot be overwork, for this bane of
careless systems is pretty well avoided in
PROVIDENCE schools. There is probably
less home study here than in many
cities, like New York and Brooklyn.
where much less satisfactory results are
reached and the two hour nooning is
blessed privilege to young humanity.
One predisposing cause of short sight
is the STOPPING habit which so many
children have. When the head is
dropped upon the chest, the blood YES
sells in the front of tho neck are pressed
against the collar-too often from
parental vanity, tight and stiffly
starched-the veins are congested, the
face becomes hot, the eyes inAamed.
Another difficulty is the internal
character Of the copies in the writing
books, and the more OF TESS successful
efforts Of the children TO copy them.
Why in the name OF common sense is il
that children are taught TO write after
what are called the shaded" models--so
light on the up strokes that a microscope
is needed TO see, and expanding on the
down strokes into a meaningless lakelet

THE PARADE.

Do You know there is TO be parade
of Republicans tonight? Yes, but
you're not going? You're the man
with whom the News would like a
quiet word.
This parade is evidently going to be
a big thing. Chairman White and
Marshal Walker and Chief Warfield
have worked on it like beavers, and
they are men whose work tells. The
parade is intended TO show folks that
there are just few Republicans in
these parts.
Don't belong to any club? Well, in
the first place, that's your own fault,
aud in the second place You can prob
ably fit in somewhere.
You're lame or sick and can't walk
We're sorry, but that doesn't let you
out. Decorate your house and set all
the gas jets blazing, if you're on the line
of march, and if you aren't hobble
around TO the house of some friend who
is, and yell like Piute when anybody
calls for three cheers for anything.
You see, this is going TO be the biggest
thing in four years, and you simply
can't afford not tc be in it.
March, decorate, look on-do some
thing according to your opportunities.
1t takes numbers TO make thing of
this kind go, and everyone counts.

it? All the better, since it will be the

A HINT AND A PROPHECY

There is an article in the current Cen
tury that ought to obtain wide circula-
tion in more popular mediums, in the
papers that are generally read by work
ingmen. 1t is entitled, "Plain Words
to Workingmen." and is written by
zone of them"
1t discusses with plainness of speech
and entire frankness many things that
vitally interest workingmen, but we
can refer to but one sentence near the
end of the article that seems to contain
the gist of tfA that HES in the way of the
attainment by the workingmen of all
that the reasonable among them can
consistently hope for at present. 1t is
this: Let us be as deserving of our
rights as we have been noisy over our
wrongs"
With few notable exceptions the
wrongs of workingmen have been pro-
claimed to the world through brazen-
mouthed trumpets in tones OF defiance.
Society in general has been arraigned
for the limitations of labor. The organ.
lied bodies of workingmen have not
been as fortunate in their leaders and
advisers as their friends, who would
like to aid them, could wish. They
have been duped and i'll advised and
made to believe that buster and force
would serve them in field only to be
conquered by patience, evidence and
clear and temperate argument.
The cause of labor is very near to the
hearts Of most intelligent people, be-
cause it is apparent that in the improve
ment of the condition of the mass of the
people rests the hope of the world.
This wise workingman who writes
such good counsel to his fellows says:
"The chances are in our favor if we are
but wise enough so to see them, and are
not so loose-hngered as to let them
slip"
Truer and wiser words were never
spoken. 1t is the most hopeful sign of
the times that workingmen are listen
ing with more respect and earnestness
to such counsels. II is not to be doubt
ed that they will eventually prevail
with the great body of intelligent people
in America, and that the wortingmen
will insist upon the same distinction
between reasonable reform and rowdy
ism as prevails in all well-ordered
society, and must prevail if we'll l-ordered
society is to exist.

CLEvELAND's NEW FAITH.

Cleveland is proving entirely worthy
of the new alliance he has made with
Tammany Hall by adopting such of the
Tammany methods as tend to lower
manhood and cheaper politics.
His speech in New York last night is
a good specimen of the new departure
taken by the apostle of political purity
of the Pecksniffian variety.
He congratulated himself that there
had been such accessions to the Demo-
cratic party from the ranks of "our OPP
ponents," and then he launched into a
TRADE of abuse and assertion regarding
the desperate and disreputable meth
DDS that confront u.s." He says that
the Republicans "have appealed to their
passions and prejudices through the
distribution Of the most impudent lies
concerning the record and action of our
party and its candidates"
There is nothing in the speech to sub
stantiate this claim, though the changes
are rung upon it to the end. What Mr..
Cleveland refers to can, therefore, only
be surmised.
The ''impudent lies" may be the ref
erences that have been made to his
shirking of plain duty when the South
seeded from the Union by sending a
substitute to the war, or they may be
some of the revelations concerning his
public life and acts that have so low
cred him in the esteem of just men.
Whatever they are, he neither specifies
nor denies them.
1t will scarcely serve Mr.. Cleveland
to shout that ''impudent lies" are being
told sbout him. It is not true, and
every intelligent man who has kept
himself posted during the campaign
knows it is not true.
If there has ever been a public man
subjected to the ordeal of pr esidential
campaign and candidacy who has been
treated with consideration that
amounts to excessive good nature by
his opponents that man is Grover Cleve-
land. His past offers temptations to
the man who insists upon coupling pri-
vate character with politics which re-
quire great magnanimity and regard
for decency to withstand.
Yet Mr.. Cleveland is allowed to veil
his past from the public gaze because
the good sense of the American people
insists that that past is his own and not
the public's.
We can conceive of no public man
who has less to complain of with re-
spect to his treatment by his political
opponents than Mr.. Cleveland, and
none who has less excuse for such a
speech as he delivered last night than
he
