COALITION IN THE SOUTH.
Experience has demonstrated the
power ot coalition in the south. It is
in this way more than any other that
the issues and prejudices engender al
between the sections by the war will be
obliterated and put beyond the reach
of possible future recall. Those who
wishjwell for the country ; those who
are interested in its future prosperity,
look to see the day that the memory of
the wafaud its prejudices and bicker
logs will be at an end and these United
States will stand-united in sentiment
and feeling as they are in name, in one
harmonious union. To briog about this
state of things should be the aim of
every well wisher ol thej nation. The
gradual, allying with the Republican
party. j of liberal men throughput the
south will serye to weaken and even
tually to break down the opposition -to
the Republican measures of peace and
conciliation between the sections and

The time is rapidly neariog when the

The Democratic party has rarely
lacked a sufficiency of fine phrases and
patriotic sentiments. Especially is this
true when seeking votes. Wheu 'con
fident ofits h'oid on power; however, it
drops th tiresome niesk of hypocrisy,
and reveals its sinister nature with bru
tal frankness; -
1 Nor can the occasional nomination
of a good man change the nature of the
party. The best man in the Nation at the
head of its ticket tickets in every state
and county ia the country composed of
exemplary men, can ho more altar its
nature than the Ethiopian can change
his skin or? the leopard his spots.
" The reason lies much deeper than a
mere difference between two classes of
men who look at questions from differ
ent points of view. .4
The two parties represent the work
ings of long years ot the principle of
natural selection in politics.
Ever since its formation the Demo

cruits among those who prefer hate and

It has made it the party that stole

produced a panic under Pierce and Bu

of slavery and the .enfranchisement of
the negro: that by midnight violence
and open day murder has torn the bal

pudiation in Virginia; and Tennessee,
seething corruption in Georgia and
Alabama, miasmatic illiteracy in Ken

lawlessness in Missouri.

rhil. Sheriaan's Saddle.
"Look here, Mr. Sheridan, I don't
see how 'you can give this saddle up.
It seems to me that if one of my boys
had played such a great part in ;the
war. and had made such a famous ride
on this saddle as Phil did no money
would buy it of me,"
"Well, captain, Til tell ypu how
that is," said the old gentleman, quick
ly and proudly enough. "I did feal
mighty proud and glad when I heard
that my Phil was doing his duty so
nobly. But I never cared about his
promotions, nor about any of the fine
stories or that poem about his ride. It
would have hurt me terribly to have
T" i. I
known that my boy had skulked or
played the coward, or shunned any J
dttty;but it never mattered to me
whether
people lionized him or not.
As for
bis old hats and clothes and
swords and that old saddle. I don't
care any thing about them. The black
mare was a good animal as long as she
lasted; but if you want her old saddle,
why iust take it along. -You're wel-
come to it. ,
"This is the' way," concluded Cap
tain Greiner, ,f that I came into pos
session of Gen. 1 Sheridan's saddle, and

here now, for I saw it again this sum
mer over at the G. A. R. reunion, at
Zmeaville. But I shouldered the old
saddle and marched ofL I couldn't
help but think that, after all the old
man was right. The only concern any
soldier's friends ever ought to have is
as to whether he is doing his whole
duty. The tinsel and fame amount to

the religious and semi-religious bodies
that are sonuinerous in this country,
and I reproduce its principal points for
the benefit of auy who are seeking for a
new religion. The motto of tho Cos

is to join all meu and women into one
family, in which the principle cf equal!

(that is, love of the human race) is the
predominate one, and the moral and
material welfare of all the sole aim and
purpose." TheCosmista are enjoined
to act as follows: To give one another
encouragement and aid, both material
and moral To cultivate all their fa
culties. To contemplate all makind
as brethren. To.be courteous and for
bearing to each and all Topractice
charity vnthout publicity or ostenta
tion; I There is nothing very new in
these ideas, but they show how dissat

His Brother had the Ice.
"Now," said the drummer number

number two, unstrapping his valise; 1
"And my brother has some ice," said
drummer number three; "he's in the
baggage car, , I'll just jump in and get
some," and he did.
The toddy was brewed and re-brew

one, the supply of sugar aeemed . inex

made as many visits to the baggage
car as the occasion demanded.
However juit as they were all feel

a farewell drink, number three return

he remarked, "but the baggage man
says if I take any more ice off my bro
