ROMANCE OF Woodworking

Golden Wedding.
The fourth year of my residence at

event - the golden wedding" or
fftieth anniversary OF the marriage of
the Comte and Comtesse de Tascher de
la Pagerie, which was CELEBRATED at
Baden-Baden in the presence of all
their children and grandchildren.
A curious circumstance occurred on
this occasion which is worthy of men,

Tascher had lost, many years before,
her wedding-ring, to her great dis
tress, and it had never been found.
Shortly before the festivities of the
golden wedding, the duchess Of Hamil.

to Empress Josephine. To be re-

carefully and entirely forgotten it.
The duchess of Hamilton, seeing the

The Democratic party must not

question must be met squarcly and
fairly. There are two many men

more than eighty years. Simply
demand restoration of the law
that was repealed in 1873 SO that
gold and silver shall he treated a.
like under the law. There is never
any Injustice in doing right: good
principles are the best policy and
old-fash-iOned Democratic none
tary and tariff principles are good
enough. Let us resurrect them,
stand by them, stand on them, stand
for them and then the people will
stand by the Democratic party
There are some Democrats who
believe in the gold standard; there
are many who believe in the double
standard. From principle, from
practice and from policy the Amer
lean standard is the best standard
and it is u good, old standard to
fight under. It is far better for
Democrats than the English stan
dard, and the sooner the leaders of
the Democratic party come to this
conclusion the sooner will the par
