colidillolS or JuVGnllc humanity, re.
gurdless of race, color or previous
condition, otc., and have known my
grandmothor to care for tho comfort
OF h"r little waiting m; id, at Il sacri,
lico Of her personal convenience, that
no modern reconstructed damo would
dream Of practicing for ono Of her
hired servants.
Her perfect sincerity and truthful
ness wore accompanied by an cx.
quisito refinement Of nature and
manner, and these combined to form
L" character never produced by the
social conditions of our fin. de- sicclc
period.
Hcr sweet, palo faco was SINGULAR
~ FREQ from tho wrinkles that arc
moro often traced by life's pctty
cares than by its great trials, and
there wero but fow whito threads in
her dark brown hair.
According to modern standards.
her education was detective, but iy-
norant as shc was Of 'olosics, mutho-
MATES and foreign languages, sho
proved her ability to copc success
fully with tho problems of life, as
they confronted hcr, and tho duties
of her position could not have been
moro admirably performed by any
modern graduate Of Girton of Vas
sar.
When tho end e her long life was
reached her dvmcanor, under sadly
altered circumstances, was marked
by tho samo dignity and composure
that had always characterized it.
Tho advance Of tho Federal army
forced her, with many others of us,
to take refuge in the "up country"
whore, by tho way, our welcome was
by no means the cordial, rratcrnal
ono we had right to expect, and
there, in miscral country tavern
deprived Of her accustomed Injuries,
and provided with the commoncst
convcnicnccs and the poorcs, fare,
she lived without murmur or com.
plant. But her health puvo way,
and sho became the prcy Of low
fovor which completely sappcd her
strength, already impaired by trou-
bio and privation. During tho whole
course of her life sho had preserved
untouched her early religious fuith.
The higher criticism, with it's drcary
nc&atlons and uncertainties, were
alike unknown to her; and whom, at
tho last dread summons, size ontcrcd
tho dark valley, tho firm faith of her
childhood proved a very roal rod and
staff" Of comfort to her soul. During
hor final hour, without fear or ap-
prehcnsion, she lay, facing tho grim
foe, whose approach sho clearly be-
held, with courage rs real and
heroic as that which was, oven then,
being manifested by our grey clad
soldiers on tho bloo! dyed battle
folds of far, of Virginia.

from Washington several days ago,

another gold Democratic ticket in the
field next year. No such movement
is known among Democrats and no
such action is expected 80 got tho
support of any considerable number
of Democrats, because they all know
that it is not being instigated by the
Democrats, but by Republicans,
whose only object is to draw support
away from the regular Democratic
ticket. A number of Democrats who
took part in organizing the Palmer
and Buckner movement, have since
acknowledged their mistakes and
their regret, and expressed their in

likely to be freely used to bring
about such Il condition, there is abso-
lntely nothing in sight at this time
to Indicate the nomination of a gold
Democratic ticket next year.
There is much shaking aud quak-

no other department. of the govern

MIR. Root has been chosen to preside,
but the clique is powerful aud Sec
rotary Root may find himself unable
to overthrow the Algerites. If he is
wise, he will get Gen. Miles on his

sons who thought they had every
thing fixed to secure valuable Porto

Representative Griffith, who rep
resents the Indiana district which
sent the late Judge Holman to Con-
gress for SO many years, said Of poll
tics in his State, and he knows: "In-
diana will send to the Democratic
National convention n solid Bryan
delegation. The mon who were for
Mr.. Bryan and the Chicago platform,
in 1893, have not weakened in their
faith regarding either. I am one of
those who believe in the indestructi.
bility of the principles of Democracy,
and though the party may suffer
temporary defeat, it is suro to regain
ascendency, for it represents better
than any other political organization,
tho true interests of the people. The
predominant issue in 1900 is very
apt to be war upon the position than
their opponents. The voters of the
country cannot be deluded by anti
trust declarations of tho Republican
convention. see nothing in the
situation that is discouraging to
Democrats, but on the contrary much
that betokens a winning campaign."
