Mrs. Mi'.chei had lived to a ripe old aga,
being G3 years'and 11 days old at toe time
of her death, fslie was a rare woman and
her life reflected a galary of christian
graces. Wo deeply sympathize with the
bereaved family and her ht st of friend* in
their loss. She has left, not only the full
c-t assurances of future saivation. but the
record of a life as pure and noble and
worthy of imitation as any of her race. —

spectators yelled and stamped their ap

The democratic majority, in tin- State
legislature, in joint hull git, la ts or H,
<srant can dispose of this by sending
Sheridan with his bayonets to Harris
burg. as he did reeently in the ease of
tlie Louisiana legislature—he has just as
gooil a right, and eau thus secure the
election of a l". S. Senator.
j the constituents who elected them, and
to follow their original instructions, un
der the circumstances would he redicit
loiis. Hence it follows that the matter
insist he refered liaek to the people again.
Can there be any wrong in that ? Ifuny
candidate is afraid of going liefore the
people, of course he would object to let
ting the people decide this matter.

The district of country of which Dallas
