A Bit of Ingersollian Repartee.

GeN. Sheridan also told me that when
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll was making
speeches during the campaign of 1868,
it was generally conceded rumor that
he was to receive $4,000 for canvassing
the New England states. He was adj
dressing big crowd at Putnam, Conn,
one night, praising Grant and Wilson
and advocating republican principles,
when an old farmer interrupted him
with the remark:
You get $4,000 for lying about the
democratic party"
The brilliant orator instantly retort-
ed: IF l am earning $4,000, am not
fool. But you are making fool of
yourself in this meeting, and you are
not making a cent"

How Grant Showed HIS Gratitude.

The statue of Gen. Rawlins, who was
chief of staff of Gen. Grant, stands on
Pennsylvania avenue near the corner
of Ninth street. where it was erected
by his comrades of the Grand Army of
the Tennessee. The body of the great
soldier, the earnest patriot, the true
friend, was laid to rest in Congress
sional cemetery several years ago.
Gen. Grant paid the funeral expenses
of Gen. Rawlfns out of his own pocket
and bought the lot in Congressional
cemetery where the body lies. as Gen.
Rawlins left his family entirely with
out means, Mrs. Rawlins remarked
shortly after and moved west, and Is
now in good circumstances When it
was discovered that Gen. Grant had
borne the funeral expenses fund was
raised to reimburse him, but he re-
fused to accept it, and the money went
to pay for the monument which now
stands over the grave.
This generosity on the part of Gen
Grant is not surprising to those who
are familiar with the facts of unwrit-
ten history. Gen. Rawlins was not a
military genius, but he was the friend
and master of Grant when that mill
tary genius needed both friend and
master. But for his faithful friend
Rawlins the career of Grant would
have come to an untimely end on ac-
count of his abnormal appetite for
strong drink. Gen. Rawlins saved
Grant from the demon of alcohol: and
Grant saved the country from dismem-
berment.

TANMASr is defeated. The nominal
majority of 10000 usually polled by
that organization in New York city
has been obiiterated. and an opposition
non-partisaD majority of 1000 to A.
600 has been piled up. making the net
opposition gain more than 100. 600.
Never since 1871, the year in which the
revelations concerning the operations
Of the Tweed gang were made. has
there been such an opposition arraved
against Tammany. and the returns
show that severe blow has been
struck at the foundation Of the most

Mrs. Lincoln's EccentrlcIty.

One of the dearest and sweetest old
ladies in Washington to-day was at one
time the gayest of all the gay butter
flies of fashion. She narrates incl
dents of the wartime, some of which
are worthy of record for permanent
place in the history of our country.
She said that at the funeral of
Col Baker, the Oregon ex-senator who
was killed at Balls Bluff, the wife of
President Lincoln wore a lilac silk
dress, with lilac silk bonnet and gloves
to match. OF course such a brilliant
costume worn by the wife of the presi-
dent to the funeral of so distinguished
maa attracted universal attention
and universal condemnation. A lady
friend of Mrs. Lincoln called at the
white house with the kindest intent to
advise her of the improperly of dress
ing in such startling manner. and in
the vestibule of the white house Mrs.
Lincoln met her and exclaimed:
Il am so glad you have come. / am
just as mad as can be. Mrs. Critten-
Gen has Just been here to demonstrate
with me for wearing my lilac suit to
Col Bakers funeral ! wonder IL the
women of Washington expect me to
mIIffie myself up in mourning for every
soldier killed in this great war" The
lady here said: But, Mrs. Lincoln. do
you not think black more suitable to
wear at funeral because there is Q
great war in the nation?'' 'sNo. I
don't / want the women to mind
their own business intend to wear
what please" SMITH ID. Fry.

WHAT with the indiscriminate dis

employment of grossly incompetent

frauds on the ballot box as practiced
by hired thugs in what may be termed

state of mind has been engendered
among the better elements of both re-

SOME CAPITAL STORIES.
Squads Of Children Visit the Cap-
itol Every Day.
How Clever Campaign Speaker Faced
she Horps of a Dilemma-John Aliens
Encounter with Weary Raggles-
Grants Gratitude.
Especial Washington Letter. |

W
One of tire recent orders of Superin-
tendent Powell, of the public schools
of this city, is to the effect that each OF
the teachers in the lower grades of the
schools shall visit the capitol building,
either during or after school hours, to
point out and explain to the children
the architectural beauties Of the build
ing. AS consequence Of this order it
is familiar sight to daily see the
| teachers leading their pupils about the
capitol in columns of twos, the boys in
one company and the girls in another.
| The teachers tell to them all an inter
esting story about each object that
comes before their eyes. They take
the little ones all over both wings OF
the building and out into the rotunda,
and explain the different pictures
which there hang on the walls. They
also take them into the congressional
library, and some of them go up into
the galleries of the house and senate
and explain the intricate and difficult
proceedings on the floor.
Indeed, as | was passing the other
day overheard one of the teachers In
quiring as to how to get down into the
crypt of the capitol, and saying that
she thought there would be objects
down there of interest to the children.
We can hardly imagine her taking the
little ones down there and frightening
them nearly to death. That would be
an interesting place If she wanted
them to see the tomb which was orig
inally intended to receive the body Of
George Washington.
Anyone who knovA the character
istics of American children will read
lily realize what difficult task the
teachers in the district have on their
hands when they undertake to show
their schools of 40 or so little ones |
through SO large and difficult laby- |
rinth as the capitol building. Most |
of the teachers do not like the order, |
claiming that nothing is accomplished
by trying to explain to little child-en
what is hard for older people to UNDER
stand; but, fortunately for them, they
are each enabled, by the courtesies Of
the capitol guides and other employees.
to get over the ground and accomplish
the task in one afternoon.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction TO millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it IS perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you viii not
accept any substitute If offered.

JAPAN. in spite of her mistakes,

institutions are enlightened her laws,
drawn up by European jurists, are
equal to the best we know. and thew

The enormous influence which the
ruler of the mighty Russian empire
must exercise upon international rela-
tions in Europe naturally causes the
probable intentions of Alexander's sue
cessor to be eagerly discussed. 1t is
reaSsuring to learn, on high authority
from St Petersburg. that Russia's for
eign policy will remain unaltered.
Should any changes be made. as seems
not improbable, in view of the new

THE drought of the past summer is
one of the subjects of interest before
the agricultural department, which adj
vises farmers in what are called the
HUMID regions to make a beginning
with irrigation on small scale by
damming small streams and utilizing
springs. The experiment stations will
do something in this direction next
season, and it is more than likely that
the results will be important
