While others slept. his little camp fire was burning. md often in the long viz ils of the night have seen tall form walking up and down by that fire. sherman himself slept but little. He did not seem to need sleep. and I have known him to stay but two hours in bed many night. Tn later years a slight asthma made such sleep impos- sible for him. After the war when l was at his home fin St. Louis. he sell dom retired till l2 or o'clock. It was often as late. too. on this march.
 It was a singularly impressive sight to see his solitary figure walking there by the nickering camp fire while the army slept. If gun went off some where in the distance, of if an unusual noise was heard. he would instantly call one of us to so and find out what 1t meant. He paid small attention to ap- pearances; to dress almost none.

PARTISAN PRAYING,

Non-partisan praying is thought to
 be the proper thing at political conven- lions where any praying is deemed de- sirable. It is considered all right to ask the Lord to bless and save the country,
 but 1t is not considered all right to ask the Lord to bless and save the country through the medium of any particular party, notwithstanding the fact that the platform of the party and the howlers and heelers who stand on that plat form expressly declare that the coun-
 try can be blessed and saved in no other way than by the success of the party. So when minister invited
 to pray at and for a political conven- tion makes a prayer which plainly shows his hope that he who moves in mysterious way his wonders to per- form will confound the enemies of the country who belong to the party
 not represented at the convention, such
 praying is considered wanting in taste and in the true spirit of prayer. We don't certainly know why this should be
 so, for political parties are always the representatives of great moral ideas,
 and their success involves the progress of those ideas. It appears, therefore,
 that minister who thoroughly be-
 lieves in the great moral ideas of
 party may be doing a natural and com mendable thing when he asks that those ideas may receive token of divine ap- proyal in the shape of victory. So the Israelites were wont to pray when they thought it necessary for them to bring the Hivites low. and they saw no 'im- propriety in it. But nowadays when good Republicans meet to lay plans, to kick the stuffing out of the wicked Democrats or the good Democrats meet to lay plans for performing the same kindly act for the wicked Republicans the prayers offered must be non-parti- san. Can it be that those who ask that their political cause be prayed for are not fully persuaded of it's righteousness and that t,lose who do the praying are not c'car in their minds that the party p'e.forms and the party howlers and heelers mean ali4they say?

TIE nEPrRLICAS CONVENTION.

THE KEPTHIft" EON NVENTIcN.
 Ire Republican State convention is to be held on inc 18th of September in Hartford. This arrangement will not. of course. suit everybody. No arrange ment that could be made would. But it Is well enough. The campaign will bc long enough. and there Is no fault to be fairly found with Hartford as the place for holding the convention.
 There Is one other thing that ought to be done, and that Is to allow the convention 10 really do the work 1t will ostensib!y be called together to do. It should be allowed to pick out the candidates that will be put before the people There should he a full and fair discussion of the situation before the convention meets. and what other dis cussion Is needed should be had when it meets. But there should be no attempt by any of those who call themselves the leaders of the party to drive or trick the convention into ratifying any plan that may have been made in the back room or front room Of some political club or in any other place. A few men should not be allowed this year to pick out the candidate for governor for purposes of their own, and with the in- tent to profit by the scheme. And few men should not be allowed to pick out the rest of the ticket so as to make their gubernatorial puppet secure. We have heard of recent secret meeting to start boom for one of the candi- dates. If, as a result of that meeting, boom is started 1t ought to die or be killed. We think 1t will die or be killed. The people this year are in no humor to accept lobby candidate. They are equally, we believe, opposed to being driven or tricked into accepting can didate nominated for private, personal diu uHp<tll lloliSdilS dlAuiliouo lSdooIlo.
 Let the convention nominate the can didate for governor this year, and hay ing done that important work let it se- lect the rest of the nominees. Let it assert that those who may pose as man agers of the party are not its bosses. The Republicans of Connecticut expect to be abundantIy successful this year. There is no reason why they should have their success used to put money into the pockets of the lobby or to put more power and more office into the hand of few men who have already had far more from the Republican rarty than they have ever deserved or earned. It is a good year for clean, honest, progressive Republicanism. The coming convention should see to it that its work is clean. honest and truly pa triotic It should not do the work of the lobby, and it should not be bossed by managers who in seeking the great est good of the greatest number make the greatest number number one.

in daily circle of suffering, because she thought there was no relief.
 Her suffering was caused by female weakness in its worst forms. She had pain in her back and loins, great fatigue from walking, leucorrhea, local inflammation, and a frequent desire to urinate.
 All this time relief was close at hand, and she had only to accept it with the others Every druggist had it.
 Lydia E. Pinkhom's Vegetable Com pound cured her of all weakness and dis ease, and she is now different woman. This woman is Mrs. Walter Wilcox, of 736 West Street, who advises all women who suffer so from female weaknesses to try it and be cured.
