THE VETERANS LAST SONG.
I ana standing on the summit OF q century OF

I am standing on the summit OF a century Of
years.
That hath measured the life OF our nation
And ] see adown the mountain q food Of
blood and tears.
That was shed for our country's salvation,
And see q mighty Legion VINO for the ma
tons life,
Went forth in young manhool's fresh glory:
And ! see a mighty Legion who persisted in
the strife.
Now sleeping in garments stiff and CORY.
CHORUS.
And we're roin- soon to meet them in that
blvouac of the soul,
AS the shadows around US Civin, warning
And 1 want to see my comrades, when the
anrels call the roll,
All ready for inspection in the mornin,
We were boys when we enlisted and these
wrinkled brows were fair.
And our eyes we're undimmed in their vision:
And the 'froStS" that never melt had not
gathered on our hair.
And our step had not lost its precision
But the years have built their terraces on
every comrades brow,
And axe makes our weary limbs quiyer.
And the '~.frosts'' are fallin thick and we're
on the double quick
To the camp that is over the river.
But tho the veterans vanish their children
still remain.
The deeds of their fathers to cherish:
And the cause for which we battled our chill
dren will maintain,
And the foes of our banner shall perish:
For we batJled not in vain if still that banner
waves,
Thro' ages our nation adjoining
And loyal hands shall plant it mid the flowers
upon our graves,
Till the grand reville IN the morning

A Secret.

Mullica Hill Observer: An under,
taker at Red Key claims thai he has
secured a secret from an old hermit
which promises to revolutionize the art
of embalming. He learned it Of an
aged man who lived in the mountains
of West Virginia, in alonely cabin, and
residents of the neighborhood believed
him insane and that his house was
haunted. A visit to the hermit's cabin
was paid by the undertaken and a
friend. The floors of the two lower
rooms of the cabin were carpeted with
tn. finest rugs made from the skins OF
animals and preserved by the hermit.
The rugs consisted of the skins of cats,
coons, snakes, frogs, minks, etc. The
skins were perfectly preserved, and
were as natural as if just taken from
the animal. Upstairs were three bodies
which the hermit said he had obtained
many years ago. They looked as if
death had come but yesterday. The
hermit also had bodies Of different ami
mails, all looking as. natural as life.
The first experiment with the fluid will
be made in a medical college in Balti-

 All these signs are significant; they are encouraging and they prove that the faith that has been pinned to Phoenix has been we'll founded. There was never time during the past six years when the merchants of this city could look forward with greater confidence to a great fall trade.
 The summer trade has surpassed the most sanguine expectations and has surprised even the most hopeful. The fall buoyancy will be doubly buoyant, being as it will be the climax of an un. usually successful summer season and the precursor of still more hopeful winter.

FINANCIERlNG.

DEMOCRATIC FINANCIERlNG.
 The Democratic idea is that there would not be deficit in the National treasury if there were no pensions to pay. That is unique argument with which to bolster up the Democratic ad- ministration. The pensions are as much a debt. and just as necessary to be provided for, as the money paid for the support of the army or navy. Un- der the Repu blican administrations mil lions of dollars were paid for pensions, yet there was no deficit every month instead the National debt was regularly reduced every month.
 If there were no salaries to pay, if there was no army and no navy to maintain, if the postoffice department was abandoned, the government would be able to save money under the new tariff. The malicious manner in which the Democratic oracles insist upon de. claring that the pension list is respon- sible for the monthly deficit and the in creasing debt condemns the apologists for the administration in the minds of every thoughtful citizen. The pensions have to be paid, and that account ought to have been taken into consideration when the new revenue scheme was er- ranged. The Democrats dare not deliberately propose to repudiate the pension debt, although that is just what their whining at this time means.
 ''It is suggested to note," says one writer, 'that the amount paid for pen sions in August was $12, ,302, 3449" Of course it is suggestive, as showing the debt of honor which the National gov ernment has assumed, and which it ought to pay without murmur. That debt was paid every month by the Re. publican administrations, yet there was no deficit and no IT millions upon mil. lions of dollars borrowed. The customs revenues were made adequate to the de- mands of the country. The last and only Democratic congress since the war played the mischief with the revenues of the country, and now the Democrats exclaim that if the country did not have to pay the pensions everything would be lovely.
 The administration has shown a re- markable incapacity for dealing with the financial problem. and every month an effort is made to hold back the pay ment of bills due, in order to make as good showing as possible in the monthly reports. For instance, during August the daily payments varied from $2, ,944, ,000. on August 5, to $314.OOO on August 3l. The average daily amount paid out was about $1, ,4O0,0 ,000, and this continued until August 23. when the the amount expended was 1866, ,OOO. Then there was gradual scaling down each day until the last day of the month was reached.
 No one believes that the figures of the daily expenditures made public repre- sent the actual sum which ought to have been paid out. The result of that sort of bookkeeping only means post ponement oi the evil day. The final day of reckoning for the Democratic blunderers and incapables will come, and the spacious plea that the pension roll was responsible for the miserable showing will avail nothing. The voters are not to be thus fooled.
