"Where They're At. y

Using the above bit OF slang as a head
ing TO its article, the New York sun says
that If the Mugwumps. Cuckoos, and
tariff smashers want to know where they
are. 1t will let a veteran Of Their kind
tell them. This veteran is strangely
enough. the Richmond Dispatch, which
does not by any means admit hat II
has gone astray. On the contrary, the
Dispatch seems 10 be the Presidents
'organ," so to speak. The Suns sati-
rical article was called forth by the
publication in the Dispatch Of the follow
ing extract from the tariff resolution
approved by Mr.. Cleveland in 1892 and
reported by the Platform Committee Of
the Chicago convention. Mr.. Cleveland
said:
1--WE reiterate the of~t-repeated doctrines
OF the Democratic party that when Gus
tom-house taxation is levied upon arti-
cles of any kind produced in this country.
the difference between the cost Of labor
here and labor abroad. when such a differ
ence exists. fully measures any possible
benefits TO labor
Our comment was as follows:
I'VE take 1t that everybody recognizes
Mr.. Cleveland as the head of the Demo-
cratic party. II he is not its head II has
no head. SO the members Of the United
States Senate who govern their action
by the rules laid down by him must be
recognized as sound in the faith OF the
Democratic party. and learners at the
feet of our Gamaliel. the President OF
the United States"
And the Suns criticism Of our comment
reads as follows:
80 there they are, in the ditch where
good denunciators OF protection go when
they agree that protection is a good
thing. Let them ring their arms In cir
conference Of their beloved Gamaliel
and be happy.
w offer respectfully for their contem-
plation a theme in the nature OF a para
doX: II after the tariff plank OF i@2
Grover Cleveland is now the read of the
Democratic party, the Democratic party
has no head"
A roads lead to Rome" and all the
Suns peppery paragraphs have reference
to Mr.. Cleveland. Its hostility to him is
marvellous. Day in and day out. he is
belabored by our brilliant contemporary.
However, as Mr.. Lincoln said Of being
scolded by his wife. 1T pleases her and
does not hurt me- so Mr.. Cleveland nav
say of our New York contemporary's de-
mandatory articles-"they please the Sun
and do not hurt me-" Mr.. Cleveland. in
a word. is in a 'bomb-proor'-that is to
say, he does not intend to run again for
President. and cannot be induced TO do
so by the denunciations Of his enemies
nor by the laudations of his friends,

DIR. Joe S. Fall, who will be remem-
bered by many old Mississippiahs now
residing in Texas, as the editor Of the
Vicksburg Sentinel moro than a third
of a century ago, died at the home OF
his daughter, Mrs. Harry Boyer, at
Switzerland, Fla, few days ago, at
the advanced age Of 88 years. OF the
five editors of the Vicksburg Sentinel,
DIR. Fall was the only one who was not
killed in duel. lie had many on
counters and fought TWO duels ON the
famous duelling ground on tho penin-
sula opposite the Historic City, In one
of which he was severely wounded.
Charles Dickens, In his "Ameriean
Notes." makes mention Of one OF these
duels. Dir. p. ii. Fall, Of this city, is a
son of the late DR.. FalL-Housion
(Tex.) Post, Oct. 80.
Possibly some Of our old citizens
may remember the gentleman referred
10 in the foregoing paragraph. Early
IN the SOS one Of the editors aud pub
fishers of the old @Mississippian" at
Jackson was a Mr. Fall. The paper
was then published by Price q Fall,
aud we believe they were succeeded
by the late Major Barksdale. We do
do not remember TO have ever read Of
DR.. Fall as one of the editors OF the
Vicksburg Sentinel, although that pa
per's tragic history is no doubt cor
rectly stated by the Houston paper
Vicksburg Post.

''The habit Of great men in the mat
ter of sleep forms an interesting sub
ject of inquiry" said Mr.. E. w. Jacobs,
Of Boston, in the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, "and / believe such an inquiry
would show that those who have made
the greatest mark on the worlds his
tory have always taken IL In abun-
dance. There is a popular belief that
Napoleon took only four or five hours

grown out Of the desire Of his admirers

others, he differed from his fellows. As
q matter OF fact, it was impossible TO
tell exactly how long he slumbered, but
It Is certain that, like the great gem
erals in our own civil war, he availed
himself Of every opportunity to seek
the greatest OF all means Of relief from
fatigue. Even when considering his
plans on the occasion Of the greatest
event Of his military career, the battle
OF Waterloo, the hour left him before
the decisive moment arrived was occu-
pied with a snooze, which he took with
deliberation, after giving instructions
TO one of his aides TO arouse him at the
given time. So great, indeed, was his
love Of a nap that his most trusted COM
panions In arms always showed re-
gard for his feelings on the subject by
never disturbing him. Napoleon's case
Is only that Of most military heroes and
Of most great men. Gladstone rarely
takes less than seven hours sleep.

effort in the house Of commons he nl-

Some have difficulty In establishing
the abdominal breathing, especially
those who have been In the habit OF
breathing entirely from the chest But
when tho clothing no longer forms M
obstruction, this will gradually right

asserts Itself more readily when one Is
lying down, therefore that position is
recommended for the daily practice,
which should be persistent, but also
very gentle. Do not allow yourself 10

not to make the lungs ache. If one
deep breath brings WEAKNESS or dizzi-

again when fully rested. The upper
