With the exception of two
years, years productive of dis
tress, hunger, bankruptcy and
panic, the destiny of the nation
has been partially or entirely un-
der the control of the republican
party ever since the Inauguration
of Abraham Lincoln in 1861.
During these forty years the
country has advanced by leaps
and bounds in population, wealth,
material, social and intellectual
development. The trans Missis-
sippi region has been converted
from buffalo ranges to imperial
states, bridges have been thrown
across mighty rivers, railways
have been built over the noun

been created, schools without
number have been built, colleges

there is one constitutional argu-

there are a dozen against aban-

Mirrors in lighthouses.

The use of mirrors for rejecting
lighthouses in England is of recent
date, and although the idea was not,
like certain other great discoveries,
suggested by the falling Of an apple,
nor the dissection of a frog, it owes its
origin to a circumstance almost as triv-
ial, which is as follows: At 4 meeting
OF the Society of Mathematicians at
Liverpool, one of the members pro-
posed to lay a wager that he would
read a paragraph Of newspaper at
ten yards distance with the light Of a
farthing candle. The wager was laid,
and the proposer covered the inside Of
a wooden dish with pieces Of looking
glass fastened in with glazier's putty,
placed his reflector behind the candle,
and won the wager. One of the CON-
pany marked this experiment with a
plilosophic eye. This was Captain
Hutchison, the dockmaster. With him
originated those rejecting lighthouses
in Liverpool which were erected in

His wonderful self-control saved the
life of Quantrell, the guerilla, on more
than one occasion, but the narrowest
escape he ever had was at Danville,
Ky. He and his men reached that
town one morning disguised as Fed
eral scouts and were regarded by the
populace as Unionists. They stayed in
town several hours. A young Federal
lieutenant who was visiting in Danville
recognized the guerilla and determined
to kill him. The lieutenant procured a
carblne and followed Quantrell into a
saloon, where the latter called for a
drink. Just as he reached over the bar
railing TO take up glass, he glanced
into the big mirror against the wall and
noticed the Federal lieutenant enter
i~g with the carbine ready to fire.
Quantrell very cOOlly set the glass
down, turned about and faced his pur-
suer. The carbine had by this time
been brought to the shoulder of the
lieutenant, Its muzzle was within three
feet of the guerilla's breast. and the eye
which looked down the shining barrel
was keen and cool. Quantrell dared
not make a false move, and he was
pOwerless to protect himself by force.
His heavy Overcoat was buttoned up to
his chin, making the pistols buckled at
his waist useless. He gazed at the
lieutenant very complacently for
brief period, smiled, and said:

LAnciarni. the Roman archaeOlOgiSt.
has discovered that it was the custom
In old Rome to lay the corner stone of
public building with elaborate cere-
monies, and he cites proof that this
was n universal practice in the ancient
world. At the laying of the corner
stone when the capitol of Rome was re-
built q procession of yestal virgins
rObed in white surrounded the stone
water. a prayer to the gods followed
and then The magistrates, priests, sena-
tors and knights laid hold of the ropes
and moved the mighty stone to its
proper position. In 4 hollow cut in the
stone were placed ingots of gold. silver
and other metals which had not been
melted in any furnace. With the Jews
the corner stone was considered an en-
blem of power. and they also perform
ed ceremonies at its laying. In mediae-
val times the rite was taken up by the
Order Of Free MasOnS. ana has by them
been brought down to modern days.
The Masonic ceremony of laying cor
ner stone is symbOlical. The form Of
the stone, square OH the surface and
perfect cube; its place. ut the north
east corner Of the structure; the testing
it with n square level and plumb, and
the pouring Of libatiOns of corn. wine
and oil over it-all have their hidden
meaning. The custom Of laying the
corner stone with ceremonies is usually
observed at the commencement of any
public building, when coins of the cur
rent year. newspapers and important
documents are placed within the stone
to serve as valuable historical relics
when the building shall be destroyed.

From time to time newspapers tell Of
the flags which floated over the varying
fortunes of the Southern COnfederacy,
and of the time and circumstances sur

designs offered and rejected. One of
them clings to my memory. think it
was in the early part of '63 that COM

vertised for designs for new flag.
Hope deferred had made the heart of
one Confederate infantryman sick; he
had in vain waited for the expected rec
ognition Of the Southern Confederacy
by European powers. He expressed his
feelings by sending in as design for
the new flag an Indian padding his
own canoe, under which was this mot

When the Latter Could Not Get q
Hangman.
When the court martial that Don
Alessandro O'Reilly, the second Span
ish governor of Louisiana, in 1863, had
organized brought in a verdict of death
against Lafreniere and six Of his com.
panions as the leaders of the Louisiana
reyolutiOnists against the authority Of
Spain, to which country Louis Nv. Of
France had ceded the colony, O'Reilly
sought in vain among whites and
blacks in Louisiana for man who
would perform the abhorrcnt work of
serving as hangman at the execution
Ony. says the New Orleans Picayune,
would answer the call. IL this emer-
gency O'Reilly was compelled TO as
sign the congenial task of slaughter
ing the helpless creoles and Frenchmen
to regular Spanish soldiers whom he
had brought with him from Spain. and.
instead Of being hanged, Lafreniere
and the others were shot to death by
a platoon Of grenadiers in q space OF
ground near the site Of the present
United States mint in New Orleans.
which at that time was in the rear of
the military garrison OF the post.
The failure Of O'Reilly TO secure a
hangman in the case Of these unfortu-
nate men recalled to old French resi-
dents Of New Orleans of that day the
story of Jeannot, an Afri-
can slave Of the Mississippi Company,
or Company of the West, which fifty
years previously had control Of the col
ony Of Louisiana under charter
granted by the Regent of Orleans. The
offered JeannOt his freedom
on condition that he would act as hang
man Of the colony. Jeannot appeared
to agree to the proposition, but he af-
repaired to n secluded place
and cut of his right arm with hatch
ct. BY this self-infiicted mutilatiOn
JeannOt avoided the repulsive duties of
hangman Of the colony, but he also lost
his opportunity for freedom. However.
the agents of the company. not know
ing in what way to utilize Jeannot as
4 laborer. appointed him as overseer of
all the slaves belonging to it. Poor
JeannOt was rewarded for his sense
Of humanity and conscientiousness by
the respect and esteem of
Ill the inhabitants of the colony during
the rest Of his life.
