sentiment is strong, and where the Con-

Germany is TO begin the year 1900 with
new Civil Code, which three commits
sions Of German jurists have been Mt
work thirty years constructing, and
which the Reiohstag has recently adopt
ed Germany is now living under mix
ture of legal systems, Roman law being
the basis of the legal usages which gov
ern the larger portion of the people, but
in sections there are the French code of
1904, aud the codes of several minor prov
iDoes. The dominant Characteristic of
the new code il the stress it lays upon
the obligations of property to the com
munity, this being particularly observa-
BILE i'll the provisions limiting the author
ity Of the landlord over the tenant. Civil
marriages are made compulsory; and
divorce is made more difficult. It is
probable that this code, constructed by
the nation which has today the greatest
military power and the greatest uniyer-
stiles in Europe will have a long and
lasting influence, as have had the Roman
C0de and the Code Napoleon.

NOW AND IN 1879.

The position Of Senator Teller before
often brought 80 mind the candidacy Of
Horace Greeley. and many have accepted
the two cases as pal allel. But after all
the only points of similarity are found in
the fact that Mr.. Teller, like Mr.. Gree
ley, has been Republican. The situa-
ton of 1872 was hardly the result of the
tendency of any great issue. General
Grants administration had affronted
many men in his own party; and the
discontinued element were headed by no
less man than Charles Sumner The
Dem ocratic party, which had been lying
prone from the division and discredit
which the war had brought upon it,
were quick to grasp at this Republican
discomfort as q means of regaining pow
er and credit. As early as 1870 in Mis-
sourI part of the Republicans in that
State had united with the Democrats and
carried the State; and two years later
this movement resulted in the calling Of
the Liberal Republican convention i A
1872, at which Horacs Greeley was nomi-
mated after quite contest in the conven-
tion with Charles Francis Adams, of
Massachusetts. The Democrats thought
they saw an opportunity in the Repu bill
can division. Tennessee Democrats en-
dursed Greeley, and other States fol-
lowed. until the body of Greeley dele
gates became SO large as to defy all the
efforts of the small body of straight-outs,
led by Bayard. of Delaware, to prevent
the folly. The election brought one of
tho most calamitous defeats that the
Democracy ever knew. Out of $40 cleo.
toral votes, Grant received 286. OF the
popular vote Grant got 3, 597, 1872, and
Greeley 2, 1874, 1875.
The Democracy could not be brought
up to an enthusiastic support of Greeley.

there should be a silver as well as q

the possibility that the election may be

Among the coming novelties will be
sleeves with enormous p1ffs at the ell

Passementerie jacket fronts are
among the novelties. They are to he
used with firm materials, and are sewed
10 fronts made Of the dress fabric.
"A faYorite trimming is made Of ruff

This is used as shoulder tuffles, to out

Short jackets and box coats are in
almost universal use. They are double

when the Horse Mails Come In.

Now then When finally at last the
boys at the confluence of the streams
had spoke on election day, and the
horse mails come in from the four cor
ners of the grand old state of Georgy, 10
and behold the prohibition candidate
had took Trip up the shaggy fork of
Salt Creek, whilst the democratic can
didate was still in the saddle with spurs
on both feet.
Consequentially Maj. Gafney he lost.
whilst Wick Hudman win the pile. IT
was jest as natural like and easy as
Leatin two pair, queens up, with three
ices and pair of tens.
But the major he was dead game
He never flinched nor flickered. Him
and Wick they met up together and
went to town the next day. And l went
along with them. The major ard Vicl;
they proceeded at oncst to change their
breath as reglar and frequent as they
could convenient, and in little or no
time the major he was tanked up to the
general ratio of six bits in the dollar.
Along in the shank of the evenin-
to the general establishment of all the
people that didn't know the mainest
facts in the case-Maj. Gafney showed
up in public as happy as a sunfower
and as mellow as May pop. And then
presently, accordin to his melancholy
understandin with Wick, he went forth
and raised a rucus and had a genuine
street fight with free niger.
One thing 1 am bound to say in rA
CARDS to the major-he was whole
team and holy terror when he oncst
got ripe and mellow, with his fightin
clothes on. And to the best of my rec.
objection when we left town that evenin
there was one colored voter in Georgy
which looked like he mought of rode u
thrashin machine through a hurricane.
Now, as for me, didn't have nothin
to do with the case, only I helt the
stakes and remained over and tarried
around there in Georgy long enough
to see for certain which way the cat
would jump. 1t suited me all right for
Vick's man to win the race. But 9th.
erwise / did hade mortal bad to see the
major lose the wager. 1t would look
strange enough to see Wick Hudman
dress up and go to church and play
good for one time. But it was whole
lot worse to see the major timber up
and come down so low as to have a rale,
genuine street fight with free mig
ger.
