Grant, assistant secre­ tary of war under President Harrison, now lives in Washington, and has left official life. He tells an interesting story of what he saw at Cedar Creek, where-- in command of Getty's division of the Fifth Corps--his headquarters were on a hill, and he witnessed the most exciting part of Sheridan's ride. "The point I o«*!opied," said Gen. Grant, in telling the story, "gave me a view of the road over which Sheridan came for the distance of about a mile and a half. A cloud of dust told of his approach. He was mounted on a magnificent horse and had distan­ ced the members of bis' staff, who were strung out in a long line behind him. But close at the heels of Sheridan's horse rode his orderly, a little fellow, scarcely more than a boy. His animal was small, and how he managed to keep up with his chief the entire distance is somethi-jg remark­ able, particularly in view of the fact that the fine mount of tbe staff officers did ndt enable them to get close to Sheridan during the entire twenty miles. "Sheri­ dan dashed along past our cheering men and making a quick turn, rode through a break in my division, the little orderly right at his heels. Then, with another quick turn, he brought his horse to a standstill, The orderly turned with him and baited almost simultaneously with the general, at the proper distance be­ hind. A general cheer went up from those who saw the incident, and I think our men shouted as much for the little orderly as they did for Sheridan. I have never been able to ascertain who that orderly was, and I have never seen pub­ lished any mention of his plucky ride. He, too, should have his Buchanan Keid." HINDOO CHILD-MARRIAGES. A Brahmin's Daughter Mast Marry V«y Early or Her Reputation Suffer*. The Brahmin has to get his daughter married before she attains puberty. This custom has crept into religion. The Hindoo religion strictly forbids single life for woman or man; especial­ ly must the woman be married. Hence there are no old maids in India. Some­ times one nay meet an old "cranky" bachelor, who has remained unmarried because he was too poor to marry, or because his character was not good; trat even these are seldom found except in the lower classes. If a man is not married at the latest by his twenty- uiiii y eiu uitf reputation suiters. It is a belief that those who have a son go to Heaven, when the son, after the death of his parents, performs the spir­ itual rites. However this may be, whether they go to Heaven or not, this severe rule tends to a strict cultivation of home life. Owing to this rale, if a Brahmin's daughter attains puberty before mar­ riage the father is disgraced; he loses his caste and no one will marry the girl. Thus when a poor man has more than one daughter it is a misfortune for him. The Hindoo father himself has to find out a suitable husband for his daughter, so he goes to a gentle­ man who has a son. He first makes in­ quiries about the family, the property, the health and education of the boy. Then he asks the father of the boy to marry his son to his daughter. The father of the boy asks for dowry, and the amount of this is fixed according to the means of the man who asks for it and not of the man who gives it; that Is to say, if the father of the boy is very rich he asks thousands of dollars. Hence the Hindoo father of a girl has to spend much for the marriage of his daughter, for he always wishes to see her married into a rich family. A PATRIOT'S PKTTICOAT. And Bow I* Helped to Drive Off the Brit­ ish Soldiers. In a letter to the New York Times David S. Turner, of New Dorp, S. I., says: "During the war of 1812, when Commodore Hardy attacked Stoning- ton, the people there had no military defense except one old cannon which had been used for firing salutes. At .Groton, on the bank of tbe Thames, opposite to New London, lived Mrs. Bailey in her own house, in the full vigor of womanhood and patriotism for her country, who, learning of the attack, immediately mounted her horse and started for that place to take part in the affray. Upon her arrival there the fight to prevent the landing of the Hardy force had already commenced, in which the old cannon was play* ing a conspicuous part, but soon it was found that the old gun must be given up for want of cartridges or ma­ terial to make them. It was at this critical moment that Mrs. Bailey ar­ rived, and, upon understanding the matter, gave instant notice that she could supply the needful, and then and there stripped off her flannel petticoat, which was soon worked into cartridges. The old gun was kept at work, and Commodore Hardy's force went back to the fleet to report progress. "When Gen. Jackson was president and made his tour through New Eng­ land he crossed the river at New Lon­ don, made a cttll upon Mrs. Bailey at hcF Grotou uOuie ttuu ga ve iici a cur- dial handshaking and his hearty con­ gratulation upon her courageous and patriotic action upon the occasion of th* battle of Stonington." IN NO DANGER. Thla Te^ng Man's Head Woald Kever Get Bald. ̂ A barber out on New York avenue was cutting the long, curling, profuse locks of a young man, who has some pretensions to being literary and occa­ sionally poses before his friends as a great genius, says the Washington Post. With a supercilious smile and words that could be heard all over the room the young man inquired: "Say. barber, what makes a man grow bald?" The barber snapped his scissors once or twice and ran the comb through his beard. "Well," he answered, slowly, "if a man has got lots of brains and is a deep thinker he generally gets bald. That, they say, leads to it every time." Several of the customers looked at the young man's luxuriant crop and smiled rather bruouly. Tiie yuuug man, however, did not exactly see the joke. So pretty soon, when the barber was running his fingers over the curly locks, he tempted fate again. "Say," he asked, "do you think my hair will come out and I'll get bald?" The man of the scissors* paused re­ flectively, and then, in a tone like he was delivering a judicial decision, an­ nounced: "No; I don't think you stand in any danger of getting bald." Then the crowd laughed and the bar­ ber looked surprised. WHEN "SCAB" DATES FROM. Buy your clothing at the "new sched­ ule" prices at Perry & Owen's^ $20 suits now $ 15. f 18 suits now $14.

The Word Haa Been In Dae Maee the Tear ISO®. The first tiihe the word "scab" is known to have been used in its present sense by union men was in 1809. Al­ though in 1817 several shipbuilders struck at Medford, Mass., for a contin­ uous rum supply, not till 1891 did strikes become frequent. Thirteen hun­ dred persons were idle at J?all River for six months in 1850. The railroad strike of 1886, whic^ be­ gan in St. Louis, May 5, will<*l£ng' be •remembered for its magnitude. A union man had been discharged by the Missouri, Pacific road, ana4n#p3£chan- ics and shopmen struck. This was the nominal cause. Texas, Louisiana, Mis­ souri, Kansas and Arkansas were largely affected, and governors of these states issued proclamations. Preceding this came the memorable strike of 1877 with its immense deatrue- tion of life and property. The four great New York trunk lines were in the hands of the strikers from first to last. The riots of Chicago and St. TO ILLINOIS FRENCHMEN. Manifesto of the Executive Committee the French Republican Ciah, To THE FRENCH-SPEAK I SG VOTERS IN TQI , STATS OP ILLISOIS--Countrymen; For MAIIY years the democratic party has asserted thai all American citizens, born in Canada, and of French uescent. belong by rights to tbe demo­ cratic party. This is absolutely false; but a falsehood has sometimes the appearance ot truth whea constantly brought to light. To prove that those assertions were wrong false altogether, several French-speaking re­ publicans organized a club in 18C2, composed ot French-speaking republican citizens only. Since then the club has greatly prospered, ia spite of the defeat of the party and obstruo- tions from their adversariea One clnb waa regularly incorporated according to the laws of the state of Illinois, August, 27,18M, an«' wesd, up our nag and goon the battle fleM with the confidence of a glorious victory. Before the last great battles take place ni' think it our duty to give our political optadoa to the eight thousand French voter* at Chi­ cago as well as to all French citizens of Tin. Dois: We are partisans of the eaoaoBdnl doctrine of protection, as adopted by the re­ publican party in the United States of Amec* lea. "We maintain that the prosperity of oar country from 1861 to 1892 is due to the wise leg­ islation of the republican Congress, We he* lieve that all articles which cannot be naao* factured in this country, except lllOliM, should be admitted free of duty, and that en all imports coming into competition with the products of American labor there should he duties levied equal to the difference betweea wages abroad and at home. We assert that the prices of manufactured articles in «»% country and of general consumption have beea reduced under the operations of the tariff aet of 1890, known as the "McKinlev BUL" We are entirely opposed to the policy Ot "free trade," which has brought ruin, poverty, discredit and bankruptcy in this country fa 1816,1837, 1851, 1857. and at last in 1893 and MM> We denounce the democratic party, the prmj dent, Grover Cleveland, and the "Wilson bin.'* as many capital evils which afflict and ruin *1^ American people, and ask from every coat* mon sense citizen, who Is not t^ound to say , party by any private interests, to vote * ail candidates who either support tha dem­ ocratic party, the administration ot Graver Cleveland or. has helped to manufacture the "Wilson bill." We assert that the tariff bill, known aa the "Wilson bill," is a contract with England, by Which the happiness, prosperity high ; Iwages of the - American laborers have beea 'Sold to the manufacturers of London, Liver­ pool and Sheffield. We denounce Grover Cleveland for ignoring the right that every.natioafcas to adopt its ova form of government, whenhe reinstated on the throne Ltliuokalani, queen of the Sandwich Islands. We favor bimetallism, and we condemn the Fifty-third congress with its democratic ma­ jority in adopting the gold as the only standard money of the country. We are opposed to trusts tending to control the markets and the workingmen's wispes. We ask lor a wise legisiatiou to pteveai mendicants and criminals from foreign coun­ tries to infest the United States. We demand the liberty of conscience, ot speech and of press, and we energetically eba- demn all fanatics who deny to others the rights which thev claim for themselves. We accord to every American citizen tha right to cast his ballot, free and unrestricted at all elections, and we demand severe legfada* tion to punish whoever would interfere la tha free exercise of this sovereign right, gaaraa* teed to all American citizens by the conatita- tion. We vigorously denounce the inhnm»n oofe* rage perpetrated on American citlsesa for political reasons In certain states In the onion. Ever mindful that several thousands at Freneh Canadians enlisted in the army of the north to defend the union during the war at secession, we favor all measures passed under different republican administrate is to help the old invalid soldiers as well as i^e widows and orphans of those who sacrificed their H*ea to save the nation. We favor aii laws tending to better the poet? ' tion of our farmers and to bring them happi­ ness and prosperity. The above are the political principles of tha French Speaking Republican Club of Illinois. All of our countrymen who are in favor of programme are invited to come and give names at the "Headquarters," 150 Bine T _1 avenue, opened every day, or at Frederich'a hall, 208 Blue Island avenue, every second Sua* day of each month at two o'clock p. m. Ileadqcu&rters. The headquarters of the French Speaking Republican Club of Illinois are located at IS# Blue Island avenue, and are opened to the public every day from 10 a. m. to 10 p. ok All French citizens will flnd documents tor the campaign, have all the informations con­ cerning the naturalization ana registration* and lists of all voters for eaeh ward In tha city, the date of all political meetings either French or English. We keep in file several ef the large daily; papers of Chicago, and all French papers in the country. We give free cards for final naturalization papers every day in the week. Registration. The law concerning the registration of tolai; is changed. According to the new law, yoa must register every two years instead of every four years as before. Then, this year to vote at the next elections of November you mast register your name on the list at the poll aad precinct where vou reside.
