"Marse Henry" Conies Home.
( \Vorld-Herald. )
The greatest and most delight
ful of all the great and delightful
Kentucky colonels , Henry \Vat-
terson of the Locisville Courier-
Journal , has returned , again , to
the Bryan fold. We are always
glad to see him back. His setting
forth is ever an omen of intcrost-
ing times ahead , and his coming
home as surely marks the joyous
beginning of a season of demo
cratic harmony and , brotherly love. \
'Colonel Watterson returns this
time , full panoplied in shining
i
democratic habiliments , astride a i
noble charger of sable hue , and !
bearing on the crupper behind
him , tight clasping his ample
waist , the Star-Eyed Goddess of
Reform. And he proposes to de
vote dark horse and goddess as
well as himself to the faithful ser
vice of "the man from Nebraska"
henceforth till after the next elec
tion !
Welcome home , Marse Henry ,
welcome home ! Never was such
a happy family as democracy will
be , now that the erring prodigal
has returned. There have been
other wandering but well-loved
sons of democracy , and they , too ,
are coming home on the heels of
their brilliant and distinguished
leader. In the democratic house
hold -there is room for all. After
the feasting and the rejoicing the
hosts of the party of Jeli'erson and
Jackson and Tilden and Bryan
will be ready to take the field once
more , with every gap filled , pre
senting a solid and united front
to the enemy such as has not been
seen since the day we quit electing
democratic presidents.
Colonel Watterson's homecoming
ing message will commend itself ,
for its sound good sense , to other
democrats who , like he , have
wandered afield. He yields none
of his differences with Mr. Bryan ,
but for the nonce he is ready to
forget them for the " sak'e of the
ideas on which they both agree.
Mr. Bryan , he says , will surely be
the next democratic candidate.
"Personally , he asserts , Mr. Bry
an is wholjy agreeable and accept
able , " and then he goes on to give
this sensible democratic advice ,
which the World-Herald
i - com-
i mends to all democrats every-
i where :
t
"It cannot be denied that Mr.
i Bryan has made a steadfast light ,
that he is a clean , typical American
!
can , that his following is compact
j and enthusiastic and that even
I among the masses of the republi
cans he is well considered and well
j liked , all of which may besetdown
as so many political assets at a
time when the public mind is sn
unfixed and variable , party lines
and discipline so loose , and the
popular mood and tense so im
pressionable.
" 'The winter which is upon us
holds out few encouragements to
the lowly and the poor. The
"stringency" through which we
have been passing may bo fairly
described asaiichman's "panic. "
It has chiefly affected the great
corporations , the banks arid the
trusts. The whole strength und
all the resources of the govern
ment have been put forth to res
cue the party in power from dis
aster. The administration has only
saved itself by subterfuge and
evasion. The president's popu
larity has been stretched to its
utmost tension. What will hap
pen if the banking and business
flurry is succeeded by a yet worse
depression among tbe work people
it is not hard to conceive , and , if
the season of plenty which we
have enjoyed yields to the period
ical season of famine long over
due the excess of confidence of
the republicans will give place to
mourning.

ily from one party to the other ,
triumphantly electing Mr. Cleve
land , who up to that time had no
chance whatever of election.
"The practical and sensible
thing for democrats to do now is
to close ranks and keep step to
the drum-beats of desting which
announce the third coming of the
man from Nebraska. It is idle
further to dispute his leardership.
If he wins , all will be forgiven ;
if he loses , may the Lord have
mercy upon him. The Courier-
Journal has in the past had no re
serves and has done its duty as it
saw it. As to the future , casting
never a lingering look behind , it
will do its hornswaggledest

The Dahlmau democracy
club held their first annual
banquet Saturday night in
Omaha at the auditorium in
honor of W. J. Bryan.
Nearly 6,000 people were in
attendance and cheered
heartiiy and enthusiastical
ly speeches and toasts thru-
out the evening * . It was the
biggest banquet ever given
in the state and nothing like
it has before been seen in
the history of Nebraska de
mocracy. T h e Sunday
World-Herald adds :
It was not only the biggest ban
quet ever given in the state , but
it saw among its enthused and
demonstrative auditors republi
cans to the number of more than
a thousand. It furnished prompt
corroboration of the statement of
Mr. Bryan , when he said , "I am
having some remarkable banquets.
Last night in a city of 15,000 people
ple , there were 690 guests who sat
at the table at § 2 a plate , and over
100 of them were republicans. "
Last night at the tables were
seated 1,212 democrats who par
took of the "dollar dinner. " And
democrats they were last night ,
every one of them , both in feeling
and in manifestation of approval ,
fiough there were many who have
been labelled republicans from
their earliest memory. .
So it was through the boxes and
through the packed galleries , re
publicans elbowing with demo
crats , and all feeling exceedingly
twin-like. There were hundreds
of ladies in the audience , republi
can , too , if you please , and they
were fired with same enthusiasm
that pervaded every nook and
corner of the vast auditorium.
Politicians there were of all
parties , but it was not a gathering
of the kind to which they had been
accustomed. More than one of
them was led to comment that it
was not like the old kind of a
demonstration , but that it "seemed
somehow more like a gathering of
the real people. "
His Profession.
lu the midst of our tea drinking in
the little Parisian restaurant , says
Miss Bet ha ui-Ed wards in an aecount
of * Home Life In France , " a gentlc-
maniy individual wearing a tall hat
and frock eoat entered and. after a
short colloquy with the young master ,
passed out.
"You would never guess that gentle
man's errand. " Marcel said , smiling ,
as he reseated himself at the tea table.
"lie looked to me like a rather dis
tinguished customer. ' ' I replied. "Some
government functionary on half payer
or an owner of bonds. "
Marcel smiled again.
"That well dressed gentleman , then ,
supplies us Aviih toothpicks , which his
wife makes at home , lie calls once a
month and takes our orders. I dare
say he and his wife between them
make from -VO to J8 a week and con
trive to keep up appearances on that
sum. It is an instance of what one
calls 'gilded po\erty."f

Terrapin. I
Terrapin begin flying about the mid-
flle of May and hatch in about thirty
days. The female terrapin scratches
n hole in the sand with her fore paws ,
flcposits her eggs , from thirteen to
nineteen , in it and then covers them
up and leaves the heat of the sun on
the sand to hatch out the young terra
pins. They are not much bigger when
hatched than a man's thumb nail and
arc as soft as dough. They crawl
nrouud pretty lively and begin to hunt
for their food , consisting of small lish ,
crabs , etc. The Orst summer they are
Quite small , and about the first to the
middle of November thogo into their
winter quarters. These" consist of
some soft mudhole .in the marsh oren
on the bottom of some stream. Ilere
they sleep until about the middle of
April or later , when they come out and
nre of quite respectable size , say four
Inches in breadth. The next year they
are six inches and the third seven
inches in breadth. It is undoubtedly
while the terrapin slumbers in the
mud that he acquires the peculiar
qualities for which we admirehim. .
It is the only flesh known which ouo

A corresioncicnt who saw the noted

for the Manchester Guardian : "It was
a sad and a strong face that we saw ,
one might almost have said a grim
face , but that there was nothing of
hardness in it , a face which must have
inspired both respect and affection in
! all who met him. Yet as the little ,
