substantial recognition of ofllclal

with less concern the evident signs
that Mugwumpery is fast becoming n
thing of the past, nnd that future
Contests will be fought out, Irrespective
of tho Pharlseeism which has Ci.eve-

said, tho Mugwump has not lived in
vain, so fur us he is personally
Concerned. In Massachusetts ho has
captured nearly all the Stale ofllcis,
leaving the Democracy to chew tho
cud of expectation, and in several
States ho exists, or has existed,
oillclally, chiefly as a holdover from
the Cleveland administration. This
h some consolation now that he sees
the waves of oblivion creeping slowly

Judging from tho number of olllces

DEAGONSDEFEAT
A FOURTH OP JULY TRAINING
DAY EPISODE.
THE DEACON'S RAW-BONED HORSE
An Interesting Story Written Es
pocially for tho "Evonlnrr Her
ald's" Many Thousanda
of Headers.
UST before day
break on tho
Fourth of July,
1820, Deacon
Gzoklol Hep
burn, mounted
011 a rawboued
nag.slowly rodo
through a lane
that led by his
farmhouse to a
turnpike lie
glanced at the
dwelling sever
al times in a
surreptitious
and anxious
manner, but be
came satisfied
that the Inmates wcro stlU in bed and
Hint his departure was not observed.
The deacon's destination was tlio Con
necticut village of Ilczcklahvillo, eight
miles distant, whero there was to bo a
fitting celebration of tho glorious
Fourth. Altbougb it was not a "train
ing day," tho local companies of militia
were wont to muster on tho great no
tional holiday and have a good time.
Tho deacon was ono of tho troopers.
"I've outwitted Amandv and tho old
lady," ho said' to himself with a com
placent chuckle. ; "Thoy won't nave
no horso nnd they'll have to stay to
hum. Dick Wainwrlght will bo tlioro a
bustin' with vanity In his now uniform
and with his fine feathers; but ho won't
strut like n turkey gobbler when he
finds that Amandy ain't there to seo
him. It takes me to sarcumvont these
young folks and the old lady, too; for
Blie s bouna to abet 'em in tms ere 1001
lsh courtship agin' my jedgmdnt. Oh!
I'm enough for 'em all to-day'
K1 .r
l". M411TTJ rJ, r I'
"i've outwitted amandv and this ou
ladv," said the deacon.
The deacon chuckled again. Hut he
should havo remembered his own
favorlto saying: that it is not well to
count your chickens beforo they, are
hatched. , .
Four hours later Lieut. Dick Wain
wrlght in a two-seated vejiiclo drawn
by a span of pranging Jiorsos drove to
thq Hepburn homestead, whero ho
found the blushing Amanda and her
mother waiting for him. Tho deacon
was not the only ono who had done
some planning. His wifo and daughter
had not suspected that he would sneak
oil before daylight, but they were well
aware that ho, did not wish them to ac
company him to Ilczcklahvillo, and
had resolved neither to ask him to take
them to tho village nor to accept auy
surly Invitation Hint ho might oxtond
to them. Amnuda had quietly seen hor
lover and arranged that lie should call
for her and hor mother at an hour after
which she was certain her father would
bo irono.
Lieut. Wainwrlght loft the women at
tho homo of Joshua Whipple, a cousin
of Mr. Hepburn, wito lived in tho vil
lage. After hitching ills horbes ho
walked to tho tavern, a largo, rumbling
structure, sltuutcd in the middle of half
an acre of level ground that was
adorned with great shade trees. Among
the group of soldiers who st.md nartho
trees was Kzekiel Hepburn. Ho. r nog
nizod Wainwrlght witli a cool nod, and
as bMnrned away thoro wnh his face
a sarcastic leer, the moaning of which
was' not, as ho confidently supposed,
l.Wan from tlia vonntr man. Tho lover
mm
smiled", too, but his smllo was as merry I
as It wn mischievous.
At noon dinner wiib served in the tav
ern and was announced by tlireo or four
tremendous blasts on a big tlsh horn..
Several hundred persons dined. First
tho military, consisting of a company
of Infantry, 120 men, and a com
panyof cavalry, 10 men, nssembled
lu'itfio long banquet hall and seated
themselves at n table extending
nd&rly the length of the room and
at side tables. At the head of tho
tablo fiat three ministers, men of their
cloth bolng revered at that day, who
had been escorted to the tavora by tho
bugler, tho flferand the drummer while
pluying national aim. Xext to the
clergymen were several revolutionary
voternns, white-haired and feeble, and
tho mllHia officers. Kaeh of these hon
ored guests could, if lu chose, drink a
glass of wine; but the privates who sat
bolow them were not allowed any kind
of ardent spirits with their meal. The
oldest divine said grace, and then tho
hungry men did umplo justico to a flrst
class Now England dinner. After tho
soldiers had eaten, most of tho visitors
from the surrounding country etiuca at
the same tables.
An hour later the peoplo repaired to
tho Presbyterian church the town
houso was not large enough to accom
modate so many and listened to n bom
bastic address dollvcred by a young law
yer who was a great orator in his own
estimation, and to the singing of pa
triotic airs.
Next was a sham fight, which took
placo on a broad common in the center
of tho village. Tho soldiers were di
vided Into small companies, half of the
cavalry aud half of tho Infantry being
In eac-U division. Kach company was
urangud In platoons.-clght men in u
platoon, and behind tho front platoon
wore all of the other platoons. Tho cav
alry In each company was in tho rear of
tho infantry.. jCapt. Perkins, a horo of
tho war of 1812, commanded one, com
pany, and, tho officer nctlngis the other
captain was Lieut. WainvMght.
Tho uniform of a cavalryman consist
ed of a red broadcloth coat with buff
cassimero facings, gold lace trimmings
and gilt buttons, and trousers and vest
of buff cassimero. Tho privates woro
caps with round crowns of heavy leathet
covored with bearskin and a red feather
on the side. Tho cap of an officer wau
similar except that upon it was a gilded
helmet, a support for n long feather that
drooped over tho front of tho cap. Tho
feather was red with a white tip in
front. The cavulry equipment consisted
of a yellow sword-belt extending over
right shoulder nnd holding the scabbard
of a sword on tho left side of tho soldier,
pistols in saddle holsters and valise on
back of saddle. The cavalry officers
also wore high boots with white tops.
Tho Infantry wero dressed In blue
throughout; coat facings and trimmings
wero-of red and around each soldier's
ncelc was a leather btock.
The men in their gay uniforms pre
sented a brilliant appearance, and in
tho opinion of tho spectators who lined'
tho sides of tho green they were the
finest, soldiers in tho world.
Tho snain ngnt consisted or a series
of simplo maneuvers by which each
platoon in tho opposite companies, bo
ginning with the two front platoons,
advanced and fired, wheeled back, took
its placo behind the other platoons, and
moved forward until again in turn it
was at the front, when it ilred.ugain.
These maneuvers woro re.peajed until
tho battle was ended. Tho company
whoso platoons moved tho quicker
gained ground on tho other company
and gradually drove it back until tho
twenty-four rounds of ammunition woro
exhausted and the slower moving com
pany was defeated.
The quicker moving company was
commanded by Llout. Wainwrlght, who
was seated on a spirited horse and
whoso waving1 plume above the glided
liolmet could over be seen in the tliiekoat
of the fray. The gallant officer waa in
cited to do his best by tho knowledge
that the eyes of the fair Amanda were
upon him. Sho nnd her mother stood
in a prominent position. They waved
their handkerchiefs at tho young sol
dier and their faces were filled, with joy
as thoy saw him lead his men to certain
victory, although tho paterfamilias,
Deacon Hepburn himself, was tn Captain
Perkins' company and was enraged be
cause the detested young Wainwrlght
was carrying off the laurels of the oc
casion. Hut fortunately tho deacon
was nearsighted and kuew not that his
wife and daughter beheld his humilia
tion witli pleasuro und that Amanda
j was flirting with her lover and was be
stowing upon him hor most bewitching
j sinfles before and attor tho combat.
I Crestfullen and weary, tho deacon
wended his way at six. p. m. to tho
I homo of his cousin, Joshua Whipple,
j witli whom ho hoped to hold sensible
' c inverse and forgvt his troubles. Hut
,v
v
101 when 110 nrrivnu no was UHiicreu into
a room whore sat his wifo and daughter
and Lieutenant Wainwrlght. A nioro
surprised and angry niun than the den
con was for the ne.t few moments never
was seen, and tho worst of It was that
tho three persons mentioned thoroughly
enjoyed his discomfiture. Ho stam
mered out several gruff remarks and in
sisted on departing, leaving theithors
miwtnrs of thosituatlon.

In tho evening there was a great ball
in the dining-room of tho tavern, aud
tho couple who danced tho Virginia reel
witli tho most graco und spirit wero

Tho mortified deacon never recovered
sufficiently from his defeat to oppose
Ids daughter's wishes openly; and a fow
weeks later the banns of that fair dam
