A Blood-Stained Leaf.

One of the most peculiar and at the
same time interesting relics of the war
is in the possession of j. b. Mann, a
resident of Randolph county, Ill. 1t
consists of leaf, upon which dark
stains are plainly visible. The day
after the battle of Atlanta, July %,
1864, Mr.. Mann visited the field and was
shown the spot where Gen. j. b. Nc
Pherson fell, pierced by bullet from
the enemy's gun. The leaves of a small
shrub, upon which Gen. Mcpherson
fell, were dyed with the blood of the
brave commander. Mr.. Mann was
greatly impressed with the scene, and
plucked several of the blood-stained
leaves, which he sent home in letter.
The leaves are remarkably we'll pre-
served, and the blood stains are plainly
visible after 81 years. Mr.. Mann is
proud of the relic, and he and his SOL
dier friends review the experiences OF
army life with great relish as their
memories are called back to the excit.
ing times of the early '60's by the blood
stains on leaf.-St. Louis Republic.

SOME FANCY STITCHES.
They VIII Not Strain the Eyes Like Genu-
ine Embroidery.

Inc Embroidery.
Embroidery is difficult art and one
which it is not always advisable to learn.
Girls with weak eyes should be content
with simple fancy work, which, if done
neatly, will give pleasure, and will not
strain the eyes like the elaborate details
of genuine embroidery.
There is n secret in producing good
outline leaf. 1t is this: Begin always
at the stem end and work toward the tip.
The stitches should be reversed, that is,
should slant in opposite directions on
the two sides of the leaf. Take any

HARRISON on CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

In none of his papers upon This
Country of Ours has eN-President
Harrison delivered. himself with such
vehemcnce and emphasis as he has i'll
the one in the March Ladies' Home
journal, The President Duties"
Besides commeding one Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands acts. and censuring Ambassa-
doris for making political speeches. he
talks of Presidential appointments in
most feeling and an almost pathetic
way. Upon the latter theme. in giving
endorsement to Civil Service Reform.
he says: I'm spite of all the difficulties
that beset the question of removals and
appointments it must he conceded that
much progress i'll the direction of
betterment ofthe service has been made.
The Civil Service Rules have removed
a large number of minor officers in the
Department. at Washington, and in the
postal and other services, from the
scramble of politics. and have given the
President, the Cabinet officers and the
Members of Congress great relief: but
to office the President
finds the most eXacting. mrelenting
and diStracting Of his duties. In the
nature Of things he begins to make
enemies from the start. and has no way
Of escape-it is fate, and to sensitive
man involves much distress of mind.
His only support is i'll the good opinion
Of those who chiefly care that the public
business shall be we'll done. and are not
disturbed by the consideration whether
this man or that man is doing it: but
he hears very little directly from this
class. No President can conduct a
successful ADMINISTRATION without the
support of Congress. and this matter
of appointments. do what he will often
weakens that support. 1t is for him
always Il sort of compromise between
his ideal and the best attainabc thing"

This brought Huntington to bay. and

DvINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE.

The question of Il new registration
in the counties is giving the democrat
ic Senators considerable anxiety. The
election bill. as far as it has gone. pro-
yides for a new registration in 1896 and
each eighth year thereafter. The dem
ocrats are convinced that the republic
cans will carry the State the year there
is a new registration in the counties,
and the question for them to decide, as
some think, is which would be the worse
to lose it at presidential OF a State
election. 1t is argued that the negroes
will register at all hazards as often as
NAV be necessary. while there are thou
sands of white citizens who are slow to
take the trouble to travel anywhere
from one to twenty-five miles for this
purpose. This would give the repub-
licanS Il vast advantage.
1t is now conceded that the State.
upon straight party vote. Is very
close. and it will take but little to throw
the balance to the republicans. Some
of the Senators think it will he best to
take the risk at the presidential elec-
ton, while others want to delay it to
the following year. One gentleman
remarked that if the democrats lose the
State on the presidency the party ST.
premacv will be seriously impaired.
1t is urged further that there is no
necessity for new registration i'll the
counties. as the books are kept clean
and repeating and false personation is
impossible Therefore. it is considered
imprudent to run the risk of losing the
State when no existing abuses nor con-
ditions demand new registration. AS
to the city there is no contention and
an annual registration is conceded.
The democratic Senators held CON
ference Tuesday evening and discussed
various questions and came to the fol
lowing conclusions:
First-To 90 into the election of
treasurer and to make no further delay.
Second-To non-concur i'll the House
amendment to the Bruce civii-service
bill and ask for conference.
Third-To proceed to the enactment
of the Herring re-aSseSSment bill with
out delay.
Fourth-To amend the election law
so that no new registration of voters
shall be required in the counties. and
that there shall he new registration
in Baltimore city in 1897 and after that
annually. no new registration being re-
Quired this year.

THE PROPER TINE

When the most benefit is to he derived
from good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the
tired body, weakened organs and ner-
vous system yearn for Il building-up
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring weather
and, in fact, delay giving attention to
their physical condition so long that
long siege of sickness is inevitable. TO
rid the system Of the impurities accu-
mulated during the winter season. to
purify the blood and to invigorate the
whole system, there is nothing equal
to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don't put it

people. They tell the story.
