tide of bribery ftjwmade in the New
York Legislators a few days ago.
The clerks of the two honses had reeeived
free passes from the railroads
roads of the State for the members,
and as their names were called oat
these lawmakers noblushiDgfy walked
up to the clerk's desk and took the
bribes. Its a misfortane that the
people in every State haven't the
courage to vote against every seeker
after public office who will not pledge
himself to accept no favors from
corporations. The States all allow
mileage, and it is simple dishonesty
to accept it and free passes also. Th6
point is, howfever, that lawmakers
should accept what the law gives
them, but in every instance decline
* ,
free passes from railroads. .

r-V The Washington correspondent of I
the Augusta Chronicle gives the following
as the words of Senator
Hampton: ''There is nothing Qrover
Cleveland wonld not do to perpetuate
the Democratic party in power. If
his resignation of the Presidency
would accomplish such an object, be

Mrs. Bayard, the wife of the Secretary
of State, died Sunday. She
had been an invalid for some years,
bat the immediate cause of her death
was congestion of the brain, brought

Bayard was a most estimable lady.
The Secretary of State and his family
will receive the earnest sympathy of
all the people in their sad bereavement.
The story is related through the
prestf of a Connecticut infantry company
in the late war which is claimed
- to be without a parallel. The company
it is said had no less than 12
pairs of brothers in its ranks. This
county sent a company to the front
with 25- Gnnters' in it, all more or
less related, and every man was a
"fiddler." They were members of
Company I, 20th South Carolina
Regiment
Second Comptroller MajDard has
been examining the accounts of the
Signal Service and Weather Bareau
of the War Department and has discovered
hundred of thousands of dollars
in unauthorized expenditures of
that department while it was nnder
charge of Gen. William B. Hagen.
The investigation is not jet com*pleted
and it is said fatore relatione
will vastly increase the amoat so far
discovered.
Dr. D. E. Salmon in a paper read
before the New York Health Association
that the yearly losses in hogs in
the West by cholera amounted to
thirty million dollars. He farther
stated that that the carcases of cholera
hogs were sometimes left to pntrify,
sometimes thrown into streams that
famished drinking water to towns,
and sometimes were tnrned into
lard. We can imagine what becomes
of the lard. We suppose we have
eaten oar share of it.
&The probability that Frank Hard
the eminent free-trader, of the
Toledo, Ohio, District will regain his
seat in Congress which is now temporarily
occupied by Bomeis through
JRepablicaa fraud and bribery, seems j
-} * . .? ( .
to create almost as much consternation
among the protection Democrats
as it does among the Republicans
who wish to snstaio the Ohio swindle.
The Democratic protectionists, however,
will hardly go to the extent of
joining with the Republicans in order
to keep Hurd out.
President Cleveland said to a
correspondent of the Boston Herald:
"What I understand by civil service
reform, as I am oarrying it out, is
that the office-holders shall be
divorced from polities while they fill
their positions under this Govern'
ment. That, rtrfe I have meant to
stand by. I have tried to be true to
my own pledges and the pledges of
my party. We both promised to
divorce the offices of the country '
from being used for party service.
I have held to my promise, and I
mean to bold to it."
Too often parents regard children
as burdens to be borne as lightly as
possible. They forget that injustioe,
harshness and neglect leave marks
that are never erased. ,. Mistakes
which parents make with regard to
their children can hardly ever be
remedied. If in the pursuit, or the
gratification, of their appetites and.
ambition, oarents leave their children
unloved or uncared for, they cannot
reasonably expect their children's
love and care in their old age. Children
need love and restraint, the
gnidanee of strong hands and wise
heads and surroundings that tend to
lead them always toward that which
is pare, good and elevatiDg. In their
parents they should see virtnes, not
faults, things to admire and imitate,
not things to be shunned and
ashamed of.

[From Our Regular Correspondent.!
January 29 th, 1886.
The United Stains Senate devoted
a day, this week, to obitaary eloqaence
in ihemory of the late Vice
President Hendricks. The occasion
drew a large crowd to the capitol.
For the first time this session since
the opening day, every seat in every
gallery of the Chamber was occupied
with the exceptions of the small gallery
reserved for the Diplomatic
Corps, and at every door and place
of approach was gathered a group of
spectators.
On the floor of the Senate every
Senator who was ?o the eity was in
his seat, an attentive and respectfal
listener. Settees and chairs were
provided for Members of the House
and other privileged and distinguished
people who were entitled
to the floor. Over both Houses of
Congress the National colors floated
at half mast; over the Senate for Mr.
Hendricks, and over -the House for
Representative Rankin, of Wis., who
had died the day before.
Both of the Ind. Senators, Harrison
and Voorbees, paid glowing
tributes to the dead statesman, that
of Senator Vdorbees being especially
striking and free from the trite forms
of expression common on such
occasions. Otber Republican Senators
besides Harrison, among them
Evarts, Sherman and Spooner testified
to the uniform courtesy and
integrity of Mr. Hendricks, and
above all to bis devotion to the
principles of his party. .
Mr. Spooner being the new Senator
from Wis., this faneral oration was
his maiden effort in the Senate. He
Baid Mr. Hendricks was heart and
soul a Democrat, ^ who believed
thoroughly in his party and in its
principals. "He was no 'trimmer'
in politics'7 continued ne, "ana inaeea,
I'think if he might give direction to
onr words to-day be wonld bid us
to eay of him that he was a "partisan"
Democrat. He rightly thought that
politics should be a mater of conviction,
and that every man of firm political
faith owed it to himself and to
his country to be a partisan to the
extent of laboring earnestly in all
honest ways to promote the principles
in which he believes.
Senator Yoorhees mentioned. that
eloquence in the forum and in the
sacred desk had paid its richest
tributes to the exalted abilities and
stainless character of the deceased.
The tolling bell, the mournful dirge,
the solemn minute gnn, the mighty
multitude of moaners, had all
attended the funeral of Thomas A.
Hendricks, and had borne witness to
the deep love and grief with which
he was lowered to his' last Testing
place. All the honors dae to the
dead had been paidjby the Chief
and by titer
QDrestrained affection of: the people.
"In the Senate however," said be,
"we may not be silent, even though
the cup of honor to his memory be
overflowing. Here, on this brilliantly
lighted stage, be fulfilled his last
official engagement, and closed his
commanding , pnblio career. . Vest,
Ransom, Hampton - and Saulsbory
were the other Democratic Senators
who paid tributes to Mr. Hendricks.
On Tuesday of next week the House
of Representatives will devote itself
to similar eulogies in his memory.
Tho TTnnaA ndinnrniu? immndiatalv
upon Ibe formal announcement of
Representative Ranking death. This
was, of coarse, the proper thing to do
in the absence of any rale requiring
different action. It ooald not have
made an invidious distinction. Bat
the country is indignant that Congress
should waste time nnder every
possible pretext, and it is high time
for the adoption of some plan
whereby respected may be shown for
the memories of deceased Congressmen
withont interrupting public
business. Announcements of deaths,
should be made at the close of a
daily session, and either Sunday or
evening sessions should be held for
eulogies. A reform of this kind has
been presented in the Hous^ and
' will come up soon for discussions.
Representative Rankin came to
Washington in a dying! condition.
He had an intense desire to take his
seat in Congress again and be sworn
in with the rest of the members,
saying he must accomplish this, if he
died the next minute. On the opening
day of the session, by a soper[
natural effort of the will, he dressed
I
and went to the Capitol, took the
oath, and drew his seat, making
while he did so, some reckless remarks
about his approaching death.
It was too severe a tax upon his
strength, however, and he was taken
to his home which he never left
agaiD. He occupied rooms in a
bonse adjoining tbe residence of
Postmaster General Vilas. When
negotiating for his winter qnarters
here, the latid-Iady asked him if he
wanted the rooms for tbe winter.
"Yes," he replied, deliberately, "I
will agree to keep them for the
winter, or as long as I live; but rent
stops the day I am bnried." D.
A mole which Qoeen Goran,' a
colored boy abont 16 years old, was
riding to mill last Satarday, became
frightened Dear Mr. J. A, Dreher's,
ia the Fork, aDd throwing tbo boy,
ran away with Goran's foot fastened
io the stirnp. He was dragged
some distance and killed. His
aotrils were torn ont and he was
otherwise maDgled.
