What to Say About the BABY,

The average man is apt to feel a lit
tie at a loss when a fond father or
mother holds up before him a mite of a
red-faced baby. Something must be
said, Of course, and, if possible, some
thing pretty. Well, here is a list Of
remarks, compiled by a benevolent on
tributor to an English magazine, any
one of which will do in such an emer.
gency, if nothing more original suc-
gests itself:
isn't he sweet! He looks just like
your
II think he is going to look like his
fatherw
"Oh, what dear little fingers! Do let
me see his dear little toes!"
"Isn't he large"
isn't he a tiny darlingw
"How bright he seemsw
Did you ever see such a sweet little
"lsn'the just toosweet for anythinrm
"The dear little darling! | never
saw so young a baby look so intelli-
CENT?
do, please, let me hold him inst a
minute"
The first of the above remarks has
the advantage of killing two birds with
one stone, so to speak. The last is put
forth with some isgivings. Awkward
bachelors are advised to think twice be-
fore making use Of it-youth'7 Com.

THE VETERANS MARCH.

Greatest Demonstration Ever Made by the
survivors-One Hundred Thousand Per-
sons Cheer the spectacle-How the Great
Procession Was Formed sponsors and
Their Maids of Honor-Soenes About the
Exposition Grounds.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. June 24.-The
seventh annual reunion of the United
Confederate veterans, which began or
Tuesday last, closed to-day with a
parade, which was the greatest dem
o~nstration ever made by the survivors
Of the c~onfederacy. There were $4,000
strangers in the city, and the process
sion that passed through the leading
streets was witnessed by fully 100, 600
persons. From Broad street, where
the parade formed, to Market street,
the public square, Deaderick. Summer,
Church, Spruce and back to Broad
street and Belmont avenue, where it
disbanded, were masses of humanity,
who cheered the veterans and their
leaders, the ardor Of the occasion not
being dampened by rain that fell for a
short time while the procession was
moving. Notwithstanding the shower,
but few veterans dropped out OF ranks
until the parade had passed the corner
Of Broad and Walnut streets, and had
been viewed by over nine-tenths Of the
crowd.
Business houses and residences were
decorated with the Stars and Stripes,
confederate flags and bunting, and the
scene was an inspiring one. The ap-
pearancc of Gen. John b. Gordon was
everywhere the signal for applause.
Thousands Of persons shook hands with
the veterans, and the sponsors and
maids of honor as they passed along in
their carriages witnessed only barred
heads on either side. As the bands
played the crowds cheered and hats and
handkerchiefs were waved. Capt. j. II.
Clack, chief Of police of this city, and
Capt. Mcdonald, chief of police of
Memphis, rode at the head of the pro-
cession, accompanied by a mounted de-
tail of officers.
The First regiment band, of Tennes-
see, on foot, preceded Gen. W. H. jack
son, OF Nashville, the chief marshal,
and his staff, and Immediately after
them came Gen. Gordon and staff, the
Savannah hussars, Gen. Vaughn and
staff, of Tennessee; the executive COM
mittee Of 81 in carriages; Troop A, con-
federatc veterans, and a company Of 10
young women dressed to represent o
confederate flag. Following them were

Barring out any difficulties aris-
ing under the American constitu-
ton, and some will probably arise,
there is no reason why the great
Republic cannot find way to wise
" govern these Islands. Its way
may not be our way, and in the ev-
ent of annexation, there will be
some bowling about it. But we
shall take the bitter with the sweet.

proceedings, and the sentiment cf
the community is that we keep the
question under the tables" More
over, the American Statesman
must settle the question for them
selves. But is Is now, however,
coming to the front in Congress.
The Nation quotes from the
Gazette and then states It's poiut,
that the United States has hereto
fore only annexed communities
capable of self-government and it
correctly cites the various terri
torial law on the subject of the vet
ing franchise. Then, it says, the
committee of the Hawaiian Senate
reported that good government
cannot be permanently maintained
in these Islands, without an assist
ance from without" 1t asks how
can you admit Hawaii, if it cannot
govern itself! 1t continues: "The
theory of our Government from
the ordinances of 1877 down, has
been that the expansion of the
United States was to be solely by
the addition of self-governing com
munities to self-governing com
munities.'
The Nation is ignorant of the
political history of its own people.
In the first place they deliberately
struck out self-government by the
negro. Next, in the annexation OF
Texas, populated with Mexican
"greasers; in the annexation OF
California, with its entire popula-
ton of ''greasers;" in the annexa-
ton of the entire Gadsden pur-
chase, with a vast majority Of
"greasers;;" III the annexation OF
Alaska, with nine-tenths of its pop
ulation made up of Indians, they
announced no such principles what
ever. The present exclusion OF
New Mexico from Statehood is
done On the ground of the low char
acter of the "greaser" population,
but the territory was annexed. So
the Nation plainly contradicts Am
erican history. The United States
wanted additional territory and
took it, without any discussion of
the principles of self-government.
Perhaps the Nation is able to point
to some record regarding Alaska,
which will disclose this principle.
These territories were governed,
not always wisely or well, until
they became capable of self-govern-
ment, such as it is.
The Nation hates annexation,
and it offers any reason, good,
bad and Indifferent, in opposition
to it. 1t proposes to put as many
difficulties in the way of it, as it
can contrive to discover. 1t is the
spirit of the old darby in Charles
