The Mexican Presidential election

N. W. Fitzgerald, the suspended
Washington pension attorney, baa
dismissed bis libel suits against the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat and the

because It Is no libel to tell the truth?
Senator Allison, of Iowa, has no
opposition In his own party for re
election, aud will therefore have a

good majority on Joint ballot He has
served eight years in the house and
twelve years in the senate.
We understand that Chaffee, of Col
orailo, says that Grant, Blaine aud
Conkllng have come together upon
the following agreement: Blaine to be
President; Grant, Secretary of State;
Conkllng, in his old position In the
Senate. We only hope that such a
scheme may succeed.
It Is claimed that Ul tine's fine Ital
ian hand la .discovered lu making
Chicago the place for holding the Re
publican National Convention. Blaine
and Logan are recorded as having
joined hands lu this matter against
Arthur the President perferrlngeltli

Grnkkal Mackenzie, commander
of the Department of Texas, has been
temporarily relieved of command on
account of nervous prostration, which
disturbed the afT-irs of the depart

Scholleld. The condition of General
Mackenzie causes grave apprehension
of friends.
The Union Paciricaud the Missouri
Pacific have paid Into the Slate Treas
ury the respective Uxn ajnlmt them
for the support of the Railroad Com
mission. Speaking through their
respective attorneys they say that al
though they believe the law to be un
constitutional, they advise the pay
ments as best showing the jieople of
Kansas the wish on their part to avoid
antagonisms, and also because it mat
he cheaper to pay It than beat It In the
courts. The railroads are acting very
sensibly at last.
The Manhattan NationalUt is told
that the report that Gov. fit. John I?
to remove to Olathe and become a can

true. TheAVitofKiWdisapprove nfliiM
candidacy, saying that It would be not
only Injurious to hluuelf, but to the
Republican party an. I the causf of
prohibition beeides. The following U
the JfatlonatUt't protest :
For the Governor, personally, such
a step would be a blunder. To decide
so early to re-enter the political arena.
at the bottom of the ladder, would be
a humiliating confession of his polit
leal prostration, and such a demon
stration that his lunging for office Is so
strong as to utterly blind his judgment
as to cause many or uis remaining
friends to give him up. By a policy of
"masterly inactivity," so far as oiuce
seeking is concerned, and n continu
ance of his labors in the temperance
cause, he would retain ail of his idd,
besides making multitudes of new
friends, while the number and bitter
ness of his enemies would sKadlly di
minish. A change for the better is
already noticeable.but if the Governor
does not convince other aspirants that
he Is not in their way, the old animos
ities will be revived and intensified.
The Republican party would, of
course, be injured by such a contest,
there is already too much division
and heartburning. The wise heads
are puzzling over the problem of how
to restore a better state of feeling
without lowering the standard; and
the re-entry of the ex-Covernor as an
efflce seeker would seriously compli
cate matters.

The vertical feed Is used only in
the Dayim Sewing Machine. No
others have the right to use this feed.
By this new feed-method, all manner
of sewing Is done perfectly without
basting, and there can be no "fulling"
of the goods, either above or below.
Both upper and under piles of goods
are always carried together, as the
vertical feed works equally on both,
instead of only on the bottom piece,
as is the case with the old under
feed, as used In all other machines.
This new feed does not stop at seams,
but steps evenly over them. It Is
mainly thts new feed invention that
places the "Davis" so far ahead of all
other machines.
A LONG LOST BOOK.
A Bible Found Upon s Battle Field About
To Be Restored to Its Former
Owair.
From the Doboqae lews Uersld.
Mr. James Plaister, the well-known
Insurance agent of this city, while
a passenger on the steamship Furnes
sla on his return from England a few
weeks ago. became acquainted with a
gentleman and fellow passeoger who
produced a book with an interesting
history. The gentleman was one MaJ
R. W. MUlsaps, of St Louis, Mo., and
during the late war be was major of a
Georgia regiment At the battle of
Ressaca, Georgia, after the union
troops were driven from the battle
field, the major picked up a knapsack
an I discovered among other contents
a Bible, bearing the following Inscrip
tion: '.'Henry Casey, presented by
M. H. H., Lake Zurich, Lake county,
Illinois." On another page of the
great book was the following: "Henry
Casey, drum major, Fifteenth Illinois
Infantry, Second brigade, Fourth di
vision. Seventeenth army corp."
The major said be bad kept the
book for the past twenty years In
the hopes that be might be able BOtne
day!, to call upon the owner and pre
sent It to him, but inasmuch as Mr
Plaister was going near the place
where the owner resided at the time
of the war, he suggested that Mr.
Plaister take the book and endeavor
to restore it to the former owner. Mr
Plaister promised to do so, and when
on his way home went to Lake Zurich,
which is thirty miles north of Chi
cago, but failed to And the gentleman.
He was Informed however, that Mr.
Casey had been a former respected
resident of the place, hut at present
was living at Belolt, Mitchell, county,
Kan. Mr. Plaister addressed a letter
to Mr. Casey, informing him of the
facts above mentioned, and as soon as
be hears from the gentleman he will
forward the long-lost book, a keep
sake which Its former owner wilt un
doubtly prize as lougas he lives.
Mr. Casey Is an old friend of Mr. A.
E Ransom of this city.
JEALOUSY AND ITS FRUIT.
While the ever zealous citizens of
ofSalina havo found an extra preAV
ure of business, because of Increasing
prosperity, the "Enemy of all" has
found some, who, not having busi
ness enough of their own, were ready
to do bis bidding. In proof whereof
we cito the following letter mailed
from Topeka to the P. M. at North
Adams, Mass , with these directions :
"P. M. please dollver to parties
named within " The letter was dated
at Sallna, Kansas, Aug. 9th, 1SS3, and
runs thus:
"Mr. Sampson, it is advertised that
you oiler to assist the .lev. A. M
Stewart to build a Baptist church.
The fact Is they have a good, comfort

and pabllcand at jajtime has it failed

necessity. David Wke."
"For reference I refer yoa to A. M.
Claflln, F. Goodnow, H. Davis, O. P.

the services of artlsk of the first rank
and to have the designs especially
adapted to the requirements of art
students. Every branch of art
painting, embroidery, glass staining,

in the selection of the designs, so that
all art workers will find them of
the greatest possible value.

The case of Gen. Mackenzie, U. 8.
A., who was last week temporarily
relieved of the command of the de
partment of Texas, is one replete with
pathos. Only a few weeks ago the
announcement was made of hk in
tended marriage during the Christ
mas holidays, and thk was speedily
followed by a statement that hfs
mind bad become unbalanced and
that he labored at times under the
most painful hallucinations. To the
latter fact was due the order for his
relief of the command.
Some very curiously worded adver-
tlsemenk creep Into the newspapers
now and then. Here, for Instance,
are three amusing examples of com
position which an English traveller
says he read In one Issue of a London
paper: "Lost. A camera brooch,
representing Venus and Adonis whilst
walking In Sandy Mount, on 8unday
last." "Wanted A nurse for an in
fant between twenty-five & thirty, a
member of the Church of Engknd &
without followers." "Mrs. and Miss
May have left-oiT clothing of every

The Atlantic Monthly for December,
16S3, contained tbe following : "The
explanation of the proverbial saving
about 'Hobson's choice' Is given by
Steele In the Spectator, No. 609." The
passage referred to is thus: "Tobias
Hobson was the first man in England
that let out hackney horses.
When a man came for a horse he was
let into the stable) where there was a
great choice, but Hobson obliged him
to take the horse which stood nearest
ta tbe stable door; so that every cus
tomer was alike well served, accoid
ingto bk chance, from whence It be
came a proverb, when what ought to
be your election was forced upon you,
to say, 'Hobson's choice."
Senator Cameron, in a letter re
ceived by a friend, stated that be is
now stopping at the Hotel Wagram.
Paris, and that bk health k so good
that lie expects to remain there for tho
remainder of tho winter. Early in
the spring he will return to; the United
States and, If possible, resume hk
public duties In the Senate. Mr. Cam
eron refers very pleasantly to his trip
and says that In l'ark he Is strongly
reminded of America by the cordial
ity of the )eople with whom he had
been brought In contact Hk health
is absolutely restored and he has been
enabled to dispense altogether with
the services of a physician.
There was a time whenNathanla P.
Banks was one of the most prominent
figures in American politics, and his
name was kBown far and wide In con
nection with big movemenk In history
He served as Congressman, Governor,
Speaker of the House, and General In
me army; and then all at once he
droped out of public notice almost as
completely as If be had never been
heard of. A few days ago he was
reappointed Marshal of Massachusetts,
an office he has held for four years
past; and they say of him that be is
uow simply a broken-down old man,
very poor, and dependent upon hk
salary for a living. The vanity of
