A PALTRY ISSUE.

Hon. Chaunccy +. Black, chairman
of the National Democratic Clubs,
does not think the free silver Is the
paramount issue, indeed, he terms 1t
"a comparatively paltry question.
In recent able and patriotic letter
this staunch Democrat said.
"Therc should be no separation on
such issues, (the silver issueh and
concludes: Shall we wreck the great
party of constitutional government,
and expose ourself to the untold mis-
cries Of centralized prodigal and cor
rupt government, taxing the masses
for the classes, upon comparatively
paltry question OF coinage? The
spirit of the silver Democrats, South
and West, shows that no such result
is possible, and they may be assured
that their Northern and Eastern
brethren are equally loyal to the great
cause of free government, which the
Democracy has had IN charge for more
than o hundred years.

CUTTING PEAR BLIGHT.

Mr.. Waite, of the department Of
agriculture at Washington, has been
making special study OF this disease
and concludes that the proper time
to cut out the parts is in the fall,
after all growth has stopped. With
the cessation Of growth In the tree
there is corresponding checking OF
the spread Of the disease, so that by
waiting until fall, or winter one is
more certain to get all OF the diseased
parts than would be possible when
the bacteria are actively at the work
in the summer or growing season.
In the cutting out, always cut of
the branches several inches below
where 1t appears diseased, to insure
the destruction Of all the bacteria.
The general opinion has been that the
disease enters the trees through the
blossom, and Mr.. Waite promises us
a detail account Of the trouble In a
bulletin soon to be issued from Wash
ington; send for this.

THF ERA or GOOD FEELING.

Since the cruel war is ended
And the cause is lost and won,
The Southman has hung up his sword,
And the Northman turned his gun
Into reaping hooks and plowsharcs,
While now peace is lowering DER;
What's the use Of all this fruitless,
Idle talk forever more?
Do they think wen never learn it?
Let's have peace cOnfound it. durn it..
Thirty years has peace hung over
All our Northern, southern graves;
Thirty years have met in friendship,
All our Southern, Northern braves.
While the White winged peace Of commerce
Hovers over all our land,
Bringing all in close Communion
With beauty that is grand,
Didn't both sides grundly earn 1t?
This same peace? Confound it, durn 1t.
Do you think all this advancement
Was matter of mere chance?
Don't you think we partly owe it
To the bullet and the lance?
Didn't Mason's stone-wall vanish
When we found who were our foes?
Do you think it would have crumbled
Had we not all come to blows2
Parted? Never! We would spurn 1t;
Well have peace, confound 1t, durn it.
What we want is rest and quiet,
Oh, ye Of the "silver tongue"
What we need most Is protection"
From the speechifying lung,
Give us these and we'll go forward,
TIL we reach our nations goal,
When our frame will be-echoed
Round the earth from pole to pole,
Then we may perhaps discern 1t,
Well have peace, confound 1t, durn 1t.

CONFEDERATE HEROES.

At reunion of the Sixth Tennes-
see Infantry, held at Knoxville last
Monday, Ex-Governor Fairchild, Of
Wisconsin, was an invited guest and
one of the speakers. He contrasted,
in eloquent and graphic terms, the
conditions under which the armies OF
the two sections fought, and gave
hearty and well deserved tribute to
the soldiers of the South, who, amid
privation and hardships, from the be-
ginning to the end OF the war, heroic
ally fought for their cause and endur-
ed with patient fortitude the trials,
vicissitudes and suffering Of the four
dreary years. Many of our own peo-
pie do not fully realize the heroic
qualities, the manly fortitude, exhibi-
ted by the Confederate soldiers, and
to them we commend the following
eloquent tribute Of Ex-Governor Fair
child:
Il never bowed my head more re-
verently that to the East Tennesseans
who so gallantly fought for their flag
We of the North knew nothing of
what it costs to be loyal. Why, we
slept on beds Of roses and lived on the
fat of the land. TO be loyal! We
were merely following the crowd. II
we had stayed at home we would have
been ashamed and|hooted at"
"When we fought we always had
rations, loaded wagons followed US
with provisions; in front were always
pickets to warn us any danger; clothes
to cover US at night; no stones to cut
our feet, shod as they were with good
shoes, but we were all well cared
for.
But you, how many knew where tho
next meal was coming; where were
your wagons loaded with provision;
did you know where next danger
would assail you, were there not some
among you. who have known the chills
OF frosty nights; have you not noticed
foot prints Of blood, as you watched
some of your commands marching
over the sharp stones? All, we in our
far a way Northern homes little knew
how you suffered; we little realize
what it costs to be loyal to our flag in
the South. Again bow In honor to
you and hail you as heroes, bearing
well your titles.
'"But while you may have suffered;
did you not have some fun? Can't
you remember how you once cracked
Jokes around the camp fires? Tonight
the fun would dispel the gloom Of yes
terday and tomorrow, perhaps before
tho break Of day, you would be fight
ing. Fighting! Aye, maybe ere IL
ended, your brother lay dead at your
feet; perhaps a ball pierced your side
and you looked to Heayeurand cried
out for God to protect a. shield your
wife and little ones.

Winter Night Sport.

A peanut hunt is lots of fun for an
evening party. The hostess hides pea
nuts in all sorts of queer places about
the room, sometimes putting two or
three nuts in the same place Then she
provides each Of her little guests with
little basket tied with gay ribbons, and

the finds are compared. The one who
has the largest number wins the first

COLLEGE EDUCATION.

Rev. DR.. CHARLES +. THwING of the
Western Reserve University mas started
q discussion through the fraternity of
colleges by advising that the leading
universities increase their tuition fees to
$500. with view to thus contributing
TO solution OF the problem OF
making more widely available a
college education. The points that
the cost of college education
is constantly increasing from year to
year. At the same time with tho amaz-
ing development of the public school
system in its higher branches more
young men are today anxious to have
the advantages of a college education
than ever before. DR.. THwINGs idea is
that, as tuition actually costs the col
feges more thHn they charge for it,
they would be justified in raising
the present price--$i10 to $3.50 we be-
lieve--to $500. The many who are
abundantly able to pay would cheerfully
pay the increased charge and thus would
more of its funds be released to the
university for larger assistance to
worthy students who are unable to in
dulge in college education. The price,
$500 would be perfectly fair, as that rep
resents about the actual cost of tuition
to the college, it is said. Those
who are able to pay would thus secure
their education on a strictly business
basis while the colleges would be able to
more widely assist those who need as
sistance.
We suppose DIR. THwING has con-
sidered this subject pretty carefully but
query, suggesting criticism of his
plan, that Immediately comes to mind,
is: What, under his proposition. would
be the situation of the tremendous army
of students who are, today, just able,
without assistance but with nothing 10
spare, to pay the modest tuition fee?
And are not these the principal body of
students?

turns. are not receiving this rear the interest

q Last Uun. that day the Brit
ish fleet was repu'sed in the attempt
to reduce Fort st. Philip, the strong
hold in the defense of the Mississippi
and the real key to Louisiana. On the
9th Of January three British warships
and two bomb vessels had anchored
just out Of range of the guns and
opened q cannonade, which they kept
up for the space of nine days, during
which time over 1000 heavy shells,
besides round and grape shot and now
itzer shells, struck the fort. The slender
garrison of $50 men suffered the most
terrible hardships, living nearly week
exposed To the winter storms without
shelter, but under the leadership OF
their commandant, hero of the Jack
sonian stamp, Major w. II. Overton,
they held out manfully, and on the
night of the 7th succeeded in bringing
a heavy mortar, mounted in the fort,
to bear on the British ships. The fire
from this gun, even in the darkness,
proved so destructive that at daylight
the English fleet ran from under and
gave up tho task of forcing the Missis.

A BIRD IN THE BUSH.
Judic Choiict Says It Is Worth Two ON
the Head.

English journals tell us that the council
of the Selborne society have again thought
1t desirable TO protest against the slaugh-
ter Of birds for the purpose Of obtaining
feathers for employment as trimmings In
millinery. There Is no gainsaying the
statements that the members Of the council
have mado, They assert that the cruelty
which is caused by the use of feathers is
appalling The destruction of bird life Is
much greater than Is generally imagined.
1t is not merely that the bird bearing the
feathers is shot down and killed, q prac-
tice which some persons might argue is
not more cruel than shooting the bird for
the food Of man, but 1t should be remem-
bered that as the plumage Is always
brightest and most beautiful during the
brceding season 1t Is then that tho birds
are chiefly killed, and consequently their
young are left TO perish miserably by slow
starvation In their nests. This is partiou-
