"My Dear Sir: have received your
kind note of the 10Th inst, with a lea
der from the Post. Whilst i appreciate

displayed in .he EDITORIAL ] yet regret
that it has been published Ny determin-
alton not under any circumstance to be-
come candidate for reelection is fixed
and conclusive. Ny best Judgment and
strong inclination unite in favor of this
course. To east doubts upon my prede-
terinined purpose is calculated to impair
my Influence in carrying out important

desire to be renominated. With tho

Stephen A. Donplas.

Douglas journals are republishing, with
evident satisfaction, the following anec-
dote from the Dayton (Ohio) Empire:
When Stephen A. Douglas passed
through this city a few weeks ago, he was
surrounded at the depot by crowd of
eager spectators, when tall, lank lean
individual, apparently from the rural dis
tricts, edged his way up to where he was
standing, and, saluting him with tre-
mendous slap upon the shoulder, said
"You are Douglas, amt you"
" Yes, SIR" answered Douglas smiling.
"The Little Giant 2"
"Oh, yes, they call me all kinds of
Names"
Here the interrogator stood awhile,
gazing at him with the intensest curiosi-
ty, and at last remarked:
"You had a pretty hard race of it in
Illinoisshadn't you"
1T W pretty snug fight" replied
the IittIe Giant, evidently amused ;
" there wa powerful combination
against us"
"They couldn't beat you, though ?"
"My friend" said Douglas, with an en-
ergy and an emphasis which forced con-
viction upon the minds of all around
him, and effectually silencing his inquisi-
tor, " | can't be beat for any thing"
Every one that heard the remark was
deeply impressed with the determination
and selfassurance of this wonderful man.

the most romantic and agreeable localities
for visitors and strangers within the linn
its of the Federal City. The opponents
of the institution urge against it that it Is
a contrivance to drill science into official
routine, and to control and monopolize,
and thus cramp and fstter the aspirant of
talent, unless he first receive the inaprira-
atur of the institution, and that too many
of the Regents are mere politicians, with
scarcely smatteriDg Of scientific know
ledge. Many advocate the adoption by
the institution of some practical means
for the benefit of the agricultural inter-
ests of the country, by scientific agricul
tural essays, and the removal thither Of
all appertaining to agriculture from the
Patent Office, which has become a mere
machine for the qualification of the little
personal partialities of the members OF
Congress, and which, in the charge of the
Smithsonian Institute, would be admin
istered with strict unselish eye to the
welfare of the vast agricultural interests
of the country. And, besides, Congress
could properly, in such case, make liber-
al annual appropriations for such object.

Cutting Timber.

II oak, hickory or chestnut timber is
feiled in the eighth month, (August,) in
the second running of the sap, and bark
ed, quite large tree will season perfect
ly, and even the twigs will remain sound
for years whereas. that cut in winter,
and remaining until next fall, las thick as
your wrist, viii be completely sap rotten
and will be almost unfit for any purpose.
The body ot the OAK split into rails will
not last more than ten or twelve years.
Chestnut will last longer, but no compari-
SON to that cut in the eighth month. Hick-
ory cut in the eighth month is not subject
to be worm eaten, and will last long
time for fencing.
When I commenced farming in 1902
it was the practice to cut timber for post
fencing in the winter. White oak posti
and black oak rails, cut at that time,
found would not last more than ten o.
twelve years. In 1903, commenced
cutting fence timber in the eighth month
Many of the oak rails cut that year ar
vet sound, as well as most Of those formed
of chestnut. If the bark is not taken Of
this month, however, it will peel off il
self the second or third year, and leav
the sap perfectly sound. The tops of tn
trees are also more valuable for fuel, tina
when cut in winter or spring.

Olive on a, an Anado,. in Poisoning

The Druggist, published in Cincinnati,
Ohio, states that paragraph has been ex-
tensively circulated in the daily papers to
the effect thas olive oil is an antidote for
all poisons. This is so far from being
true, that il increases the effect of one
very common poison-phosphorrs-and
has no power as an antidote to most oi
the others. There is no universal anti
dote, and in case of poisoning, when the
proper remedy is not known. the safes
plan, in the absence of competent physi-
clan, is to produce vomiting if it has MOI

Salt Lake City wears a pleasant aspect

and Drowned with thousand miles of

gravel that slopes southwark from the

of one story-are all built Of adobe, (sun-
hardened brick,) and have neat and
quiet look; while the uniform breadth OF
the streets (eight rods) and the "magnii-
cent distances usually preserved by the
buildings (each block containing ten
acres, divided into eight lots, giving a
quarter of an acre for buildings and
an acre for garden, fruit, &c, to each
householder,) make up an ensemble sell
dom equalled. Then the rills of bright,
sparkling, leaping water which, diverted
from the streams issuing from several
adjacent mountain tanons, flow through
each street and are conducted at will into
every garden, diffuse an air of freshness
and cooluess which none can fail to enjoy,
but which only traveller in Summer
across the Plains can fully appreciate

The West has her history Of the past,
her traditions, and the hoary monuments
Of heroic age of men, long since gone
by, of whom all recollections have per-
ished. AS we stand by the huge piles OF
earth, which they erected, covered now
with trees-the growth Of centuries
their great barriers for defence,-their
pyramids for worship, and the tunlah that
holds the bones Of their departed genera
tons, we question the past, but it answers
not, with respect to race that antedates
the red man.-of higher civilization and
of wider sway-that once peopled the
broad prairies with populous cities, and
with happy homes. The red man came
with his fierce, warlike tribes, roaming
abroad, and the mound builders-the
peaceful, gentle race, faded away, nor left
memorial of their name or fame, save in
the earthen piles that hide their bones.
Who shall forecast the destiny of the
great West? Who can set limits to her
future history-when the great valley Of
the Mississippi and the plains beyond
shall be filled by teeming millions from
the Eastern portions of our county,
from Europe-from the Islands of the sea
and the distant shores of China and
Jspan-all peaceful, industrious and hap,
py-all sssimilating in character-al

cation of the gospel of the grace. Of God
Then shall be ushered in the Millenia
dawn,-then war and strife shall be at al
end, and universal peace shall reign
Shouts of gladness shall then fill the land
and emancipated millions joined in th'
chorus, and succession Of ages begin o
infinite joy, and spiritual progress.-St

@ Kansas asks of the general govern
ment lands to the amount of some 7,OO0,-
600 acres, and other favors. Really, it
costs so much to set up State in these
times, that it would be about as well to
"shut down the gate" on all applicants for
admission into the Union, and govey7s our
territory. Marriages are said to have de-
creased with the increased cost Of living,
and unions of another kind might be
served in the same way for the same rea-
son. We should, too, in that way, get
nd of much of the agitation Of the slav-
cry question that is now so common. II
no States were admitted, we could moi
discuss the character Of State institutions.
