The following article, taken trom the Sedalia Bazoo, is evidently trom the gitted pen of Maj. John N. Ed- wards: lf there is such a_ thing this world as a man renewing his youth surely this maa Tilden has. At least such is the unbroken testimony of those who have seen, him Jately —friends, foes, carping journalists, individious critics, and all that grea: multitude of politicians in addition, who revel in mediocrity, whe rejoice when agiant is ham-strung, and who have no more delightful occu- pation than that which enables ther to watch a great mind struggling in the darkness ot a paralytic stroke. and a great nature brought suddenly low bya visitation from the Almighty Himself. Many and many are the so called political lea lers who have wanted the grasses to grow ove! Tilden’s grave, grow lush and rank. these halt dezen years and more. Why? Because he was collessal. He Stood asa pillar ot guianite ansaid make-shitts, pliable caucuses, ebse- quious conventiens and a whole gen- eration of shams and subtertuges. He never made terms with his con- science. Convictions with him meant principles, and to deny the one was to betray and put to deatl the other. When he took the party’ helm in 1876, the old democratic ship was well nigh stranded. Tix repes, the sails, and the rigging were gone. All the pirates and the wreck- ers of the gréat political deep wer swarming to its attack. The raven ous breakers were here, the insati- able lee-shore was yonder. What was left ot the crew was mutinous and illy equipped. Oyer head the sky was all laden and chill. The boldest who believed in’ the craf scarcely hoped tor a sheltering haven ora land locked harbor. Lookin, out frem the darkness and over « waste of waters, somtimes they saw the old hulk still dritting and dritt- ing, and sometimes they saw nothing at all save the foam on the cut-throa rocks lying in mighty ambush in mic ocean. One day there was a roar of can- non, and the noise of a mghty mul tituade cheering. Tilden had chored the cratt broadside on, whil asingle glance revealed the fact what before had been wormeaten, ramshackled, and stormtwisted, was as sightly a cratt as ever carried an admiral into the thick of Abeukir Bay or Trafalgar. Tilden had serv eddemecracy and put Grantism the sword torever- That he did not admimster the of- fice atter he had won it m the most memorable struggle of the century. wasno fault of his. His friends slew him. ‘Traiters in his ewn par- tayed himtohis death. Local ex- eigencies here and there in some of the pre-consul states rose upon and mastered the demands ot a great na- ienal principle. South Carolina fot mere than violated censtitution, and Leuisiana was content to sacri- fice her democratic clecters, so only the carpet baggers whe were prey- ing upon her y'tals could be mace to fly north torshelter. But the work had beendone. The deniocracy had found a leader who knew how to taise the dead ; to make slightly with flesh a hideous skeleton; back viger te shrunken limbs: give back courage to the fluttering | m an to heart: to wake the stagnant air of | Perpetual overthrew with some ttan- the giad bleed leap and thrill as though an-_ ie bugle calls; to make to give! to! ther Jackson hand come to resurect i his veterans: to organize every where and te fight the fight which could on- | 25 Am /| ly end in victory. Because he did all this, med.ocri- ty turned savagely upon Tilden and | hunted him into private life. The | Cossacks of the press made him j blind, deaf, dunb, paralyzed, impo- | tent, imbecile, a chattering oid man. | inarticulate in senillity, and up to his | armpits in 2 well dug grave. And now he has | youth and energies ence more | the shadows which were supposed t encompass him, a born leader an the coming presidential nominee o the democracy tor 1884. Surely th. band of God isin all this. Surely that Providence which notes the fal of every sparrow means to make th: decency and the self-respect of the democretic party go back to wher they can be purified. And this cat be done by « reindorsement and re-election of Samuel J. Tilden. A- long as the electoral commission in famy of 1877 remains excused anc condoned, the requirements of jus tice demand health, strength anc great personal vigor for Samuel J Milden. his from renewed i Texas Farmer whoStands Nearl_ Enght Feet High.

The bodies were hacked nd gashed—hands and arms seve red, brains beaten eut—c.ildren lung into the camp fire, and the -pectacle was one to live in memery vhen all else had been forgotten. The fiends had fimshed their work ‘fbutchery before we were near nough to open fire, and it was poor onsolation to saye the wagons. Vhile all the bodies were yet warn, :te had departed tram each and ev- ry one. We were collecting them aa heap, to make ready for burial, vhen a sudden wail startled every- ‘ody. : ~Ow—ow—ow—ow!”’ came the ound, and each man looked in the ir aboye and on the ground below. “That ’ere noise purceeds froma aby, or1’m not the father of thir- :en children back in Ohio!’’ ex- laimed Jackson as he made tor the earest wagon. their He was right; down besidea chest Imest smothered under bed quilts. as a vear-old boy baby, but alas! vhen he was handed out we found hat he had been fatally wounded by bullet. Jackson sat down on the \rass and chirped to him and rocked im te and fro, while the rest of us .o doubt looked on in wonder and ioubt, but ma quarter of an hour he baby was dead.

He threw up ais hands, gasped once or twice, and chen settled back with such a smile on his tace as babies wearwhen they are sweet. Old Jackson was crying iuke a child and some of them hid behind the wagens. It was a long time betore the old man arese, laid the httle bedy down ameng the prai- tie flowers. and huskily whisper- ed; ‘We'll bury him by hisself.

The first great improvement—the substitution of springs for weights— was in 1560. The earliest springs were not coiled’ but only straight pieces ot steel. Early watches had only one hand, and being wound up twice aday they could not be expect- ed to keep the time nearer than fifteen or twenty minutes in twilve hours. the dials were of silver and brass, the cases had no crystals. but opened at the back and front and were four to five inches in diameter.
