GEN. JUB4L A. EARLY.
Senator Daniels address on His Valley
Campaign.

Senator Daniel, in touching upon the
personal qualities Of General Early, said
Let me say something ere say good.
night of some personal characteristics
Early's courage was supreme. Never did
mortal breast hold braver soul nor one
more firmly set. 1t is as natural to die
as it is to be born, and as natural TO fear, as
it is to live, or love, or hate, and many OF
the bravest men that ever lived have been
exercised by apprehensions that caused
their hearts to thrill aud their frames to
quake. Early had that supreme courage
that shrinks before no responsibility and
that dared with composure to face defeat
and disaster for his country. Whatever
pangs may have stirred lis secret breast
we're never disclosed in outward manifes-
tation. His hand never quivered, his
face never changed when he launched the
thunderbolts of war or received Its rude
shocks, and if ever be took account Of
danger or death, or misfortune, or blame,
or shame, it was uailer left behind the
mask of his impassive countenance be
tween him and his Maker"
Of General Early's intellectual ebarac
ter Senator Daniel said
early was man of great intellectual
gifts. His grasp was broad and strong
and comprehensive, his mind solid rather
than brilliant. He knew men and he
knew things and he was an acute and dis
eliminating Judge. He attained eminence
at the bar, not by eloquence, but by rare
Judgment aud indefatigable persistence.
He was not a student in the sense of reg
ular and continuous application, but
whatever he undertook he mastered. His
memory was the most accurate and Teten-
tive that have ever Known. Whatever
he once kuew he always remembered
Whatever he attempted he never let 60,
and whatever he did was thoroughly done.
It was said of Wellington that had be not
been a great soldier, he might have been
a great enanoier and such were Early's
abilities, fine judgment and force Of char
acter that he would have succeeded in any
great business or any great profession
He would have been as successful in pol
itics as in any other field, for the multi
tude, though often deceived by the dema-
gogue who kisses away bis hand in cour-
tesy,' is always ready to pay tribute to the
hero when it Is sure it has found him. 1t

Tvs who can rule and dare not lie In
social circles of friendship, when care was
laid aside, Early was an exceedingly at
tractive companion and his company was
much sought. His conversation was en-
tertaining, mellowed by genial ssuse Of
humor, sparkling With the sailles OF wit
and shining with thoughts and reminis
/ cenees of wisdom. Among ladies be wa

Oregon's Bold bandits.

John w. Schultz, President of the
First National Bank of Hillsboro, Ore.
was held up on Il country road recently
by four masked men. They took him
to clump of brush by the roadside
and having bound him, secured the
keys to the bank and compelled him tc
give them the combination TO the vault
Two of the men started for the bank
while the others remained ON guard
over Mr.. Schultz. The two men re.
turned and said they could not get int
the vault and that Mr. Schultz had giver
them the wrong combination After
considerable parlcying and many
threats they started with Mr.. Schultz
for town, but when the outskirts of
the town were reached they turned
him loose and disappeared. There is
evidence that the robbers had been t.
the bank, but got nothing.

This was I'm the days when the code

loungers at this hotel was u gambler
who was known as the most desperate
man in the city and the most expert
dnellist with either sword or pistol in
the South. No one had ever dared TO
question his courage. and even the other
gamblers feared him. The man was
well known ut all the resorts in New
Orleans. Chatterton's friends took
pains to point out the gambler to him
aud warn him against giving the black
leg any pretense for challenge. Chat
terton assured his friends that II chal-
lenge We're issued it would be through
no fault of his and dismissed the sub
Ject without showing excitement. The
two men were not thrown together all
of that day until near supper time.
Then, rs they both entered the big din
ing-room, Chatterton brushed lightly
against the gambler. The latter glanc-
ed sharply at Chatterton, but said moth

supper passed over serenely. and the
guests scattered out over the house.

half dozen friends and watched a

him, bearing a small silver tray. on
