A Democratic Record.
Homebody asked the Little Rock
Democrat to point out what the Demo
crats have accomplished in the three
v earK which they have had charge of
the Government, and that paper re
plies as follows:
1. It has restored more than 100,000,-
<k»o acres of unearned land grants to the
public domain for the benefit of poor
M'ttlcrs.
2. It has paid nearly $200,000,000 of
the public debt, and at the same time
paid more money for pensions than ev
er paid before in the same time.
The expenses of the Government
have been reduced about $15,000,000.
4. Hordes of lazy* incompetent and
ageless officials have been dispensed
with.
It has broken up Indian rings,
land rings and tradership rings that
nourished till the Democratic party
'tune into power.
0. It has established business meth
ods and strict economy for jobbery and
wasteful extravagance.
7. It has given the lie to the charge
that Democracy if entrusted with pow
er would “put the negroes back in
slavery njid pension the Confederate,
soldiers.”
. S, It has done more in three years to
curb the racapity of corporations than
f he Republican party did in a quarter
of a. century.
!). The Democratic party repealed
the odious and unjust tdhure of office
act.
10. A Democratic Congress passed
an act forbidding the ownership of land
by aliens.
11. A Democratic Congress instituted
a searching inquiry into the affairs and
management of the Pacific railroads
an investigation which lias already ac
complished much good.
12. The Democrats reduced the fees
on postal money orders and extended
the benefits of the free delivery sys
tem.
18. A Democratic Congress ordered
the adjustment of railroad land grants,
14. A Democratic Congress passed
an act authorizing the issue of small
silver certificates—a matter great ad
vantage to the people.
15. A Democratic Congress passed
the act settling the succession to the
Presidency, and also the act regulating
the counting of the electoral vote.
There could be no more important acts,
10. A Democratic Congress passed
an act forbidding the use of convict la
bor upon all Government works. A just
and wise act.
And to this may be added the Inter-
State bill.
All this has been done by Democrats
inside of three years. And we assuie
our correspondent that this is only
part of the “splendid record” made by
tiie Democratic party within.that time,
It is not safe to fool around a Demo
cratic newspaper. They are all loaded.
tired, wasted arms lay helpless by his
side, and he forgot his prattling words,
and could only moan and suffer, pa
tiently hut hopelessly, as is the way
With children.
And he cried no more.
But one night when it rode high in the
heavens and washed every tree and hill
top and unsightly scene with a baptism
of silver, he saw it through the win
dow, beyond the light of the niglit-lamp,
and the solemn faces of the watchers.
And, sitting up among the white pil
lows, he lifted the weak and weary
baby hands, and, stretching them to
ward the window, cried in his old way.
“I ’ant the moon! I ’ant the moon!
Dear baby! the moon is shining on his
grave to-night.
And lie has long ago learned the
heavenly geography and ceased to
stretch out empty, yearning arms, or to
“’ant the moon.”
How the Sultan Lives.
Epoch.
Abdul Hamid lives in Oriental seclu
sion. He is an inveterate smoker, and
shows his European taste by smoking
cigarettes, instead of Turkish pipes,
His palace surpasses in beauty and
magnificence the rich descriptions in
the Arabian Nights.- Passing through
a marvelously beautiful gate of green
and gold, halls, chambers and apart
incuts succeed one another, each and
•dl displaying an airy grace and un
dreamed of splendor. The Hall of
Jewels contains a dazzling collection of
rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and other
precious stones, heaped in large basins
while diamonds of great size and pearls
of rare loveliness are as plentiful as
green peas in June. While the Sultan
lives in all the magnificene of Eastern
luxury, the people are wretchedly poor.
Beggars infest the streets of Constan
tinople by day, and thieves by night
Sind as tiie city is miserably lighted,
oiid the police very indifferent, the
robbers have every opportunity, to ply
their vocation with success and impuni
ty. The salary of the police is nomi
nally $0 a month, but as even this small
amount is seldom paid, they divide the
plunder with the thieves. The im
mense army of cooks, attendants, and
others required to keep up the Sultan’s
large household is a constant drain up
on the people. Abdul Hamid’ $ person
al expenses are 60,000,000 francs ($12,-

Bazaine’s Mexican Daughter.
Cor. St. Louis Republican.
Among the loveliest of all the lo\ ely
daughters of the tropics is Eugenie Ba-
zaine, daughter of the French exile,
Marshal Bazaine. But you will ask
how did Marshal Bazaine’s daughter
find a home in the Mexican capital. It
is a romantic story. Marshal Bazaine
was the representative of Napoleon III
when the latter espoused the cause of
Maximilian, aspirant to the throne ox
Mexico, and lie came to Mexico and
marshaled the French troops as a rep
resentative of the French Emperor, in
the interest of the Austrian Duke, until
his star began to wane. Bazaine be
came owner of a palatial residence,
and he levied tribute off the richest ha
ciendas.
While in Mexico he became enam
ored of a Miss de la Pena, a lovely
girl, and ere returning to France left a
boy and girl, babies, fi'uits of a lawful
marriage. As a French exile he is now
in Spain, where his Mexican son is also
an officer in the army, but his Mexican
wife and daughter are living here in a
quiet way on the north side of the Ale-
mada. His possessions were naturally
confiscated by Juarez and the Liberal
party, so that the income of the wife
and daughter does not afford them op
portunities for extravagant display.
.The Mexican Government, however,
has generously allowed them to retain
a home; but, though a fine substantial
residence, a stranger would ask in pass
ing an explanation of the gloom that
seems to surround and overshadow it,
Miss Bazaine is one of the prettiest girls
in. Mexico. She is about 19 years old,
and, being the daughter of a Mexican
mother and French father, possesses
tlxe united charms of both races.
View of Great Salt Lake.
Jennie June in Demorest s Monthly.
The first view of Great Salt lake is of
a silver mirror with arms, in the midst
of an immense plain. Only the silver

vast expanse of flat, marshy land. "V\ e

fact, I was very greatly disappointed
with the first glimpse of Salt Lake City,
This isnatural where one’s expectations

not equal to its reputation. There was

hacks, the strangers beseiged by vocif

early settlers, after months of struggle
and warfare with cold and fatigue and
weariness, had we penetrated rocky
canyons, forded rivers and marched
over interminable wildernesses of salt

plain would indeed have been a marvel;
but we had been whirled hither between
a day and a night and were disappoint

pictured and so much like other places.
Where were the “streams of the liv

“Southerners and Northerners,” says
the New York Herald, “are one people
with a mighty future before them, and
there is no earthly reason for sectional
irritation. Northern capital and South
ern enterprises are being hitched to the
same team to draw wealth out of the
ground. And when we are engaged in
the honest rivalries of business the man
who tries to set the people’s teeth on
edge and stir up strife where no cause
for strife exists is neither American nor
patriot. He is a Jacobin politician who
would sell his country at auction and
pocket the proceeds.”

After all that can he said against this
country, and we regret that there are
some who thoughtlessly indulge in such
pastime, this fact remains: Any man
who works steadily and judiciously and
spends economically, can accumulate
money, get a home and live independ

and he can live well, educate his cliil-

We have many farmers who are doing
this, and they are the happiest men we

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
goodnature. ,
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of order. . „ , , , ,
Greasv food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many otliei things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green’s August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming^ this sad
business and making the American peo
ple so healthy that they can enjoy th
meals and be happy. .

There was once a child who, like
Daniel O’Connel, the great statesman,
cried for the moon. He had everything
that the world can give. Young friends,
rich toys, all the good things- of life,
but whenever Ins nurse carried him to
the window, when he was sleepless or
fretful, and he saw the pretty, round
silver moon, lie would cry for it.
Perhaps he was older than the other
Babies, or had stronger visual intelli
