seplius. the learned anil trustworthy Jew
ish historian, relates the appearance of
chariots containing armed men that
traversed the clouds and spread round
the cities, as if to inclose them. Ho gives
this on the testimony of eyewitnesses
then filing. History abounds in similar
tales. Even our grandfathers could re
late some of these signs lunl portents
which were to bo seen in the skv during
tho long years of the American Revolu
tion. Home of tlieso were, no doubt,
epidemic delusions; others were simply
exhibitions of the aurora borealis, which
was then but little known to tho few in
habitants of tho country. Sir Walter
Scott makes the following very sensible
remarks ou such apparitions:
“A powerful bcliof has frequently per
formed on tho battle plain what bus been
seen in darkness and solitude. Those
who were upon tho borders of tho spirit
world, or were engaged in sending their
fellows into those regions of darkness,
believed they saw the apparitions of those
whom their religion associated with such
scenes. It is not surprising that in tho
midst of a doubtful battle, of violence, of
noise and confusion inseparable from
such a situation, tho warriors should
think they beheld gods and saints.”
It is every way probable that tho fear
of what might be about to happen had
much to do with the appearances of tho
gods of mythology in earlier times and
tho holy saints in lator years, when our
ancestors met to try their fortunes in
kattle. Religious enthusiasm is, of
course, to be rocognizod as the molding
power which gave tho idea shape, but
fear undoubtedly disordered the senses
until such lnillicinations becuine possible.
Tho crusades wero specially remarkable
for this kind of plienomona. In the
thickest of the fight, at the battle of An
tioch, tho crusaders saw St. Goorge, St.
Demetrius and St. Theodosius como to
their aid.
Epidemic cholera is undoubtedly an
j infectious disease, caused by the growth
i and development of enormous numbers

I grow, produce a deadly poison, which

i tho question for fright to produce tho
[ special microbe of Asiatic cholera, but it
i is u matter of common observation in
! every epidemic of this diseaso that those

1 tion, and it is well known that the ehol-
i era microbe can do no damage while the

Editors Union Recorder:
The time for the meeting of the
Democratic nominating convention
being fixed on Juno 5th, makes it two
weeks before the Republican conven
tion meets. This date was not agreed
upon without a struggle, for there is
an element in the party, which though
small and diminishing, still believes
in waiting for the Republicans to
make the issue. Tile majority of tho
party, however, think that the issue
has already been fully set forth by
the President’s message to Congress
and that no other platform is needed
to make tho fight on.
This is the aggressive element,
those who oarry the elections; and
the present aggressive condition of
the party will rouse their enthusiasm
to an unusual pitch, will make them
think of the many national victories
won by the party in ante-bellum days.
The selection of the great metropolis
of tlie Southwest, St. Louis, as tho
place of meeting was the very best
that could have been iiiude.

Quite a number of republican pa
pers have been foolish enough to
charge Pension Commissioner Black
with having shown favoritism in al
lowing the amounts of pensions to
soldiers living in democratic states.
A table has been issued by the Pen
sion Office, showing the average pen
sion paid each soldier in each State
and Territory. It shows that the
largest average amounts are paid to
soldiers who are residents of the
States and Territories which have al
ways given republican majorities.

The worst squelched man in the
House is Mr. Boutelle, ■ f Maine, the
gentleman who recently got rampant
over the proposition to return the

their original owners, and who want-
.ed the Secretary of War to furnish
the House with a detailed statement
of everything lie knew about these
Hags. That statement lias reached
the House. Tlmt is what squelched
Boutelle. It contained more informa
tion than he wanted. It Showed that
the democratic administration had
taken much better care of the flags
than the republicans ever did, and
further that not a confederate flag,
with one exception, and that was
loaned to ho returned, had ever left
tin- possession of the war department
under this administration.
The negotiation of the Fisheries
treaty would alone of itself he a suffi

for more than a hundred years, and
many attempts have been made at
settlement, hut none 30 favorable to

Mr. Mills, Chairman of the House
Committee on Ways and Means says
that Revenue reform is making rapid

Why Do Men Shave!
tOmnibus Uppit ri ionsoribvs Xotus.l
In the days of the Bible patriarchs,
prophets and psalmists there was not
n razor or razor strap from “Dan to
Berslieba.” And later on the Huns,
and Goths and Vandals and Tartar
clans, among the latter the Lombardi
(longbeards) never saw a razor or had
any implement for cutting the hair
from the face. It was left for the
modern gentleman to dispense with
a God-given ornament to the human
face diviue. Aud wlial a barbarous
race this shaving fashion has begotl
The modern beau who lias the small
est crop of hairou his face is’the in
persistent patron the barber bus.
Whether he does so ter express his dis
gust at the hair on thd face orfto stir
the roots and improve the soil, he
knows.
Tho beau of tlie American Woods,
armed with rifle, adorned with his
ear-rings, bracelets, lip jewels, nose
rings, braided linir und colored feath
ers. embroidered moccasons. blanket
and headed belt and hear gf-ease Is
"dressed to kill” the fiat nosed fe
males of the wigwam; but the city
beau is content to appear before his
Dulcineawlth a face smoother than
her own and a smell of hay rum ri
valing a hogstye. This is polish, so
to speak—a visible sign to distinguish
the courtier from tho savage—a mark
of civilization. Well, muyhe, God
made a man without feathers to dis
tinguish him from a goose. The Ba
boon and Oiirnng-Outaiig have, if
any slight heardsand they are not to
he considered types of manly beauty.
Man only is a shaving animal, and
the razor perforce was introduced as a
substitute for quick lime.
It may be said by tho shavers that
Adam had no heard before his fall,
p.nd that the consequent beard that
appeared on the face of his sons was
part of the curse. Grant it—perhaps
if Eve had had Adam’s heard to play
with, there wouldn’t have been any
fall at all, and the Devil would have
been as lonesome to-day as he was
when he climbed the tree of knowl
edge. It may he contended by the
shavers that the fair sex repel the
contact of a swinish beard, with the
downy cheek of beauty—maybe so,
hut it is too ticklish a part of our
subject to discuss.
Shaving is a small evil compared
with barbers breath and barbers
tongues, and contagion of a tramp’s
infections is not altogether lovely.
But to our first question: Why do
men shave? I put the question in all
soberness, aud am entitled to a sober
answer. Probably about as sensible
a solution of the problem as cau be
found Is, that when u fellow tries it
once, he ‘hones’ for it ever after
