WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

A number Of prominent
Democrats who recognize
the danger which confronts
the party in Kentucky and
Maryland. because Of the
existenre OF factions in the
party. are quietly but encr-
getirally working to bring
those factions together in
both States, and they are
hopeful of success. Ofcourse
every body knows that with
the party united Kentucky
and Maryland are as reli-
ably democratic as they have
been at any time during the
last 25 years. But it is
equally well known that if
the factional fight now go.
lag ON among the Democrats
in both States IL kept mp un-
til election day the Repuhli-
cans will stand a good cha nee
to carry them both. To
have those States go Rapul,-
lican this year would b. Il
party calamity that would
jpopardize the election of a
Democratic President next
year, notwithstanding the
bright prospects Of the par
ty. This calamity the gen
tlemen engaged in this move
inpnt wish to prevent. They
are not working either for or
against Senator's Blackburn
and German, hut for the ben.
eff of the democratic party.
They believe that the Cor
man democrats, the anti
German democrats, the
Blackburn 1pmO crafts and
the anti Blackburn demo-
rrats, are all alike solicitous
for the success of the nation
al democratic party, and up
on thsltbe they based their
hope of succeeding inputting
an end to the factional strife
In both states. 1t would be
impolitic to say ut thus time

done or what they propose
doing, besides, it would be a
viola tiOn of confidence.

OBITUARY.

vi {. and M larry A. Mil
Ter, born Sept. II 1869 and
died June goth 1895.
In early life she became a
christian and joined the M.
e. Church south, at Union,
and was, in the true sense of
the'term: an humble and de-
Won't christian. She especially
loved. and was pnnctnal to
attend, both the Church and
Sunday School, and though
young, she was an active wor
ker in both. Her early pi-ty,
cheerful obedience, and sweet
disposition was a great com
fort to her parents and had
a strong influence upon the
entire family.
After the death OF her ia
ther she seemed to take upon
herself the responsibility that
rested upon him ascounselor
with her mother in providing
for the family, teaching the
children, giving instructions
both for their spiritual and
temporal welfare. She shared
with her mother all the bur-
dens of home; in her troubles
and belea vements, and after
the death of her sister Belle.
was a motherly aunt to the
babe she lett behind. She TX
pressed Il desire to live to
train the child and the falni-
ly as we'll as the mother, had
learned to rely upon her as
an advisor and companion.
But alas ! about twoyears
after the death Of her father,
consumption began to prey
upon her system, and from
the first she had but little
hope OF recovery. She talked
freely of her strong faith in
God and OF the sweet com.
forts Of religion, and. was de-
Siroas to live to promote His
glory or to die to promote
His glory as pleased Him
best.
Among many Others who
visited her during her illness
were her pastor. Rev. N. e.
Combs, and brother A. Ro-
ten, and these brethren be-
lieve that they received more
christian comfort and encOur
agcmenu than they possibly
could have given her.
About two weeks before her
death, while ut the home of
her brother John she asked
brother Rotten to sing the
song "I:;, almost at home"
While he was singing she be,
came very happy and shout
ed with IL strong voice, and
for some time, the praises of
God. At the very moment
she began shouting her mo-
ther went to her and they EN-
braced each other. They talk
ed freely of the joys of the
home circle before it was bro
ken and OF "the happy reun
ion that would be after while
She then called for her broth
er John and admonished him
and plead with him to pre-
pare to meet her in heaven.
She next called for her broth
er Charlie and said: "Chnrlie,
you are a good boy and it
won't be long until we meet
in heaven" D." He responded
ed: 81 will not be six months

SENSATIONS OF STARVING.
Observations Made by n Man who
Had Gone a Week without Food.

For the first two days through which
a strong and healthy man is doomed to
exist upon nothing. his sufferings are
perhaps more acute than in the remain
ing stages; he feels an inordinate, I'M
speakable craving at the stomach night
and day The mind runs upon beef. bread
and other substances; but still, in great
measure, the body retains its strength.
on the third and fourth days. but es-
pecially on the fourth. this incessant crav-
ing gives place to a sinking and weakness
of the stomach, accompanied by nausea.
The unfortunate sufferer still desires food,
but with loss of strength he loses that
eager craving which is felt in the earlier
stages
Should he chance to obtain morsel or
two of food, he swallows it with a wolfsh
avidity; but five minutes afterward his
sufferings are more intense than ever. He
feels as if he had swallowed a living lob
ster, which is clawing and feeding upon
the very foundation of his existence.
on the fifth day his cheeks suddenly ap-
pear hollow and sunken, his body attenu-
ated, his color is ashy pale and his eyes
wild, CLASSY and cannibalistic. The diff
ferent parts of the system now war with
each other. The stomach calls upon the
legs to go with it in quest of food; the legs,
from weakness, refuse.
The sixth day brings with it increased
suffering, although the pangs of hunger
are lost in an overpowering languor and
sickness. The head becomes giddy; the
ghosts of well remem bered dinners pass
in hideous professions through the mind.
The seventh day comes, bringing in
creasing lassitude and further prostra-
ton of strength. The arms hang listless-
ly, the legs drag heavily. The desire for
food is still left, to a degree, but it mus
be brought, not sought. The miserable
remnant of life which still hangs to the
sufferer is a burden almost too grievous
10 be borne; yet his inherent love of ex-
istence induces a desire to preserve il II it
can be saved without a tax on bodily ex-
ertion
The mind wanders. At one moment he
thinks his weary limbs cannot sustain
him a mile the next he Is endowed with
unnatural strength, and If there be a GER
tainty of relief before him. dashes brave
~ and strongly forward wondering
whence proceeds his new and sudden i'm

BIRDS LIKE TO TRAVEL.
Why They Annually Leave Our

Why They Annually Leave Our
Northern Climates and Fly south.
Why do the birds fit southwark each
autumn and return again with every
spring? No one knows, but science. in
the person of Prof. Wang, the eminent
Austrian ornithologist, has just disclosed
that the usual f1ippant answer to this
question, Because they like to travel"
is not far out of the way, after ALL
In a lecture that Prof. Wang recently
delivered at Vienna he gave some ex-
tremely interesting details regarding
the migrations of birds, all of which MI
grations resemble one another in two
respects: They follow the most direct
line southwark. and are made with al
most incredible rapidly Numerous OBJ
servations have been made at Heligo-
land, which is the principal hating
place of birds of passage from nothern
countries, and in Egypt, which is the
Wlnler nome or many, and these obser-
Vations have established some facts hith-
erto unknown. The bluebirds trav-
erse the 400 nautical miles which sep
afate Egypt from Heligoland in a single
night which is at the rate of more
than forty geographical miles per hour.
Inc swallows speed is over two and
Q omen miles per minute, or nearly three
times that of the fastest railway train.
Even the younger birds. six or eight weeks
journey.
Prof Wang asks himself what is the
impulse which causes the birds, after
the orooding and moulting season Is
3Ser 70 quit our northern climate. he
does think it is fear of cold-for many
species quite as delicate as those which
migrate southwark easily Withstand the
rlsors OF the winter, but that they have
an irresistible humor for travelling. This
