themselves. Dan stood for' a moment after receiving the Congratulations of all present, hardly knowing what to gay, when Mrs. Donovan appeared to his relief, inviting the boys in. After being seated and exchangin a few courtesies, a very loud rap was heard at the parlor door, Dan ,in his hospitable way, hastened forward to enquire What the intruders wanted. lie, had hardly reached the door, when it opened, and in rushed the ladies of the delegation. Everybody presesnt seemed to be in the best of spirits, the evening was mostly spent in talking of bygone days. About 0 o’clock Father Wilkens appeared to extend his best wishes and parti ipate in the festivities, but was pressed into service by the C. B. L. boys, who had purchased a beautiful tea sel for the occasion, and Father Wilkeys, in a j rvial way, made the presentation speech, which was responded to by Mr. Donovan, thanking his friends for the truly great surprise, after which th y all repaired to the dining room, where tables were laden with all the delecasies of the season, and everyone did justice to the occasion. Coon Brake said, Oh, mine, Oh, mine, this beats all.

Dan says it on the quiet that ne never had so-inany hugs -and- kis -es in tlie same length of time in his whole life. A Repiy. EditoT Democrat:—-Will yog allow me a little space in your paper?. My at tention has been called to the following in the Decatur Journal of recent date: “At a wheat threshing the other day, no| far from Decstur, two ex-soldiers <?f Demqcratic-. taith, expressed very strongly their intentions not to vote for Cleveland and Stevenson on account of the fornser’s pension vetoes Whereupon P. D. Fristoe, who fought rebels with his mouth at.home, replied to the two soldier boys by saying: “The Northern soldiers want the whole earth and a -pbtafo.patch outside.” That is democratic talk and that is democratic sentiment. How do you like it, boys?” That’s real purty, ain’t it?—truly Ashy with the H left out. I dislike to notice anything this nose-rag might say of me personally, and should not on the present occasion,' were it not that the writer at tempts to make political capital out of:ernark asserted to have been made by rite. Whether or not, I made use of the language ascribed to me. I cannot dis tinctly cail to mind and therefore cannot affirm nor deny, but if I did, I only voiced the substance of an observation made to me within the last six months by a prominent citizen of Decatur, and withall a red eyed republican, who said of the sol diers, “that they coild not be satisfied, but were continually after an increase of pension.” As to myself, individually, I was taught to greatfully honor and respect the soldier and to-d.iy 1 can not allow that anyone has a warmer regard for them than I, and I want to see each and every one of them so liberally pensioned that they may have all the comforts of life, and for that matter a goodly share of the luxuries to b o’, These ire the sentiments and feeling ot all nonest, and right thinking -republicans and democra.s.
