Mr.. Wright was strong and energetic man,

the world, and his "reminiscences m de his
conversation a pleasure. He distinctly re.

Donough's fleet was built, and remembered
hearing the booming of the cannon from the
battle OF Plattsburg, in which his father took
part. His clearness.of mind was retained
almost perfectly until the last two weeks OF
his life. During the months illness from old
age he was truly patient and was tendery
cared for by his child rem and an excellent
nurse.
On account of the storm the funeral was
postponed from Monday until Tue sday, Feb.

o'clock. All of the immediate family vera
present, except Mrs. Westfall Rev. c. y.

ELI PERKINS DOWN SOUTH.
Gets Strange Admissions from q
Dyed in the Wool Democrat.

The other day, says the Louisville
Commercial, Eli Perkins was introduc-

wool Kentucky Democrat. The judge

and the grand old Kentuckian has al
ways been looked up to as high
priest of 'befo the wah Democracy"
Perkins was introduced by an old
Democrat, and Judge Scott supposed
that Eli was Democrat too, and he
became confidential with him at once
How are we Democrats getting
along judge?" asked Eli in a confiden-
| tial tone.
The judge looked at Eli a moment to
see if he really wanted information
about the party, and slowly remarked: :
well, sir, we are getting on very
well financially, but politically we are
running behind; yes, I'm afraid we are
| running behind"
What causes this?" asked Eli.
We'll, SIR" said the judge sadly, Il

"Well, what is the matter, them"
"Why, these good times have knock

"Yes, that will be very nice" said
Mrs. Kerens. "Will you show me how
