operations proved safe and profitable, that it

diana, that sc a scheme in which the Bishop has
nand Is sure to succeed.o Settling early in
the state, when society was assuming its shape
ana character, he entered zealously into all its
social, and, to some extent, into its political
affairs; and it has been said that in more than
one instance his personal influence controlled
the State election. In 1916 he was appointed
one of the Corresponding Secretaries of the
Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, with the special oversight OF the mis-
slons on the frontier both among whites and In
dians. In this capacity he traversed the whole
frontier from Lake Superior to Texas, visiting
the outposts OF civilization, and the Indian
tribes. AT the first session of the Choctaw Le-
gislative Council in the West he was chosen
their Chaplain, and aided them by his counses
in forming their form of government. From
1914 to 1852, he exercised the office of presd-
ing elder in Indiana, still further molding the
character of Methodism in that State, especi-
ally in the department of education. In 1852,
he was elected Bishop. As preacher he is
sound, earnest and argumentatve, with a sharp
and untunable voice, and but little ornamental
tion of style. AS an administrative officer he
has few superiors, while his natural powers of
strategy, had he been politician, would have
made him formidable antagonist. In his
early life, his political aflinities were with the
old Democratic school, but on account of the
mutations of that party he is no longer of it,
nor in sympathy with it's leading doctrine.
His instincts are clearly with the progressive
measures of the denomination, on slavery as
well as other-but Methodist Bishops are COM
PEELED to be prudent.

POLITICAL ITEMS

The response to the nominations Of tho Chi
cago Convention by the people and the press
all over the country has been as cheering as
the most sanguine friends of our cause could
wish. The free west is in a perfect blaze of
enthusiasm, and the satisfaction is general
Especially cheering are the indications that
the ticket will form rallying point for all sec
tions of the Opposition to the party now in
power. The evidence of this feeling is very
apparent everywhere. A most impressive in
dication of what is to be looked for in this res
pect is the fact that the Buffalo Commercial
Journal. the organ of Mr.. Fillmore in 1856,
responds heartily to the nominations. and gives
them its support. We publish the last para
graph OF long and ably written article in that
paper which indicates in an urmistakable
manner its position and purposes:
''With such views of the Chicago platform
and nominations, with the knowledge that the
little strength belonging to John Bell in this
State is already diminished by considerable
secession to Sam Houston, and with old Whig
hatred for Democracy. nursed in with our mo-
theirs milk, and strong to-day in 1874, in,
our hearts, we conceive it to be our duty to
place the names of Lincoln and Hamlin at the
head OF our columns, as pledge that we will
extend to them such honorable and faithful
support as may belong to our position and,in-
huence.'
A gentleman who has travelled through
some of the Western States since the adjourn
ment of the Chicago convention writes that
the nomination OF Lincoln judging from the
intense enthusiasm manifested by the people
everywhere, will prove popular one. He has
in him all the elements of popularity. A man
OF the people, he has worked his way from the
lowly position of a wood chopper to that of an
eminent attorney, solely by his own energy
and industry. He has educated himself and
raised himself to his present available posi-
ton. 1t is plain that we are to have a repiti-
tion of the enthusiasm of 1910. The old fence
rails in Sangamon county, mauled by him 80
years ago, will find endless repetitions in this
country of worm fences. We shall have rails
in all possible shapcs-rail houses, rail ros-
trums, rails horizontal, rails perpendicular,
rails in all possible positions and the lRail
Mauler of 1S30-the representative man of
honest labor-is to be to us what the Log Cabin
boy of l840 was. 1t needs no prophetic vision
to see the victory in store for us. Honest old
Abe will be the next President, depend on it.
-"We venture to say,'' declares, The Gin
ctnnatf Gazette, ssthat there is not in the whole
West man who stands higher in popular con-
hdence than Old Abe Lincoln. He is man
OF the people. He has risen by the force of
his own energy from the position of a fatboat-
man to the honored head of the Illinois bar
lie is man whom obstacle could intimir
date, no defeat check, no misfortune embitter.
A man whose life is synonym of honesty,
capability, and energy, is Abe Lincoln"

LIKE AN OPEN, HONEST HEART,

1 like an open, honest heart,
Where frankness loves to dwell,
Which has no place for base deceit,
Nor hollow words can tell
But in whose throbbings plain are seen
The import of the mind,
Whose gentle breathings utter nought
But accents true and kind.
/ seorn that one whose empty act
And honied words of art,
Betray the feelings of the soul,
With perfidy's keen darti
No more kind friends In such confide,
Nor il their kindness trust,
For black ingratitude but turns
Pure friendship to disgust.
Contempt is but a gentle word,
feeling far too mild,
For one who confidence betrays
And guilt has sore beguiled
That hate which hellish fends evinco,
When in dark torments toss'd,
Is not more loatbsome to the SOUL
Than one to honor lost.
Then give me one with heart as free
And gen rous as the air.
Whose ready hand and greeting kind
Give proof that Yruth is there.
Whose smiling countenanco well shows
Affection warm is found,
And springs, pure as saints, whose notes
Through Heavens vaults resound.

IMPROVING THE ELANGUAGE.-The newspapers
have greatly contributed to enrich the English
language. We shall shortly have-thanks to
the gentlemen of the press-a pretty, delicate,
idiomatic turn of speech for all the principal
affairs of life. Thus widow is ga fair relict -
young woman making her debut at police
Office is ssan interesting femae.' Formerly
criminal was to be hanged, but now he is
s.launched into eternity A man was some-
times drowned in old times, but it oftener oc-
ours that he was ssimmersed in the liquid ele-
ment till the fire of life was extinguished.'
When man fell down in a fit, surgeon used
to be sent for; but now, ssmedical aid is said
to be in immediate attendance and should he
die before the surgeon comes, the ssvital spark

ancestors, horses and cattle were sometimes
killed by lightning. but they are now "struck
by the electric fuid,'' and nobody but rum
suckers get struck by ''lightning.'' Again,
ship was formerly launched, but there is moth

ment, by the way, she never before. In
the old fashioned times, brdegrooms and

danced in the evening, but now there is no

RACE WITH AN OK.

Some forty years ago the managers of q
race course near Brownsville, on the Monon
| gahela, published notice of race, one mile
| heats, on particular day, for purse of S1OO
'Free for anything with four legs and hair on.
A man in the neighborhood named Hays
had an OK, that he was in the habit of riding to
| mill with his bag of corn, and he determined
| to enter him for the race. He said nothing a.
bout it to any one, but rode him around the
| track a number of times, on several moonlight
nights, until the OK had the hang of the ground
| pretty well, and would keep the right course.
| He rode with spurs, which the OK considered
disagreeable; SO much SO that he always bel
lowed when they were applied to his sides.
On the morning of the race, Hays, came up
on the ground on horseback-on his OK. In
stead OF saddle he had dried an ox-hide, the
head part of which, with the horns still on, he
placed on the ox's. rump. He rode to the
Judges stand, and offered to enter his OK for
the race but the owners of the horses object
ed. Hays appealed to the terms of the notice,
on,'' and that therefore he had a right to enter
him. After good deal of swearing, the judi
ges declared themselves compelled to decide
that the OK had right to run, and was enter
ed accordingly.
When the time for starting arrived, the OK
and the horses took their places. The horse
racers were out of humor at being bothered
by the OK, and at the burlesque, which they
supposed was Intended, but thought it would
be over as soon as the horses started.
When the signal was given they did start
Hays gave blast with his horn and sunk his
spurs into the sides of the ox,who bounded off
with terrible bawl, at no trifling speed, the
dried ox-hde Tapping up and down and rat
ting at every jump, making combination of
noises that had never been heard on race
course before.
The horses all flew the track every one SEEM
ed to be seized with determination to take
the shortest cut to get out of the Redstone
country, and not one of them could be brought
back in time to save their distance. The purse
was given to Hays.
general row ensued but the fun of the
thing put the crowd all on the side of
OF the OK. The horsenen contended they were
swindled out of their purse, and that if it had
not been for Hays horn and OK hide, which he
ought not to have been permitted to bring up
on the ground. the thing would not have turn
ed out as it did.
Upon this Hays told them that his OK could
beat any of their horses any how, and if they
would put up hundred dollars against the
purse he had won, he would take off the OK
hide and leave his tin horn, and run fair race
with them. His offer was accepted, and the
money staked.
They again took their place at the starting
t,and the signal was given. Hays gave the
OK another touch with the spur, and Taurus
gave a tremendous below. The horses re-
memberng the dreadful sound, thought all the
rest was coming as before. Away they went
again, in spite of the exertions of their riders,
while Hays galloped his OK around the track
and won the money.

RAISE CARRoTs.-We have so often urged
upon farmers the value of root crops, that we
hope they will awake to the real value of the
same. Among the many valuable and profit
able roots we may name the carrot. Every
farmer that keeps milch cows and horses,
should surely raise carrots. This fine root is
also excellent for mich cows: il not only in
duces greater quantity of milk, but much
richer. And it is also very beneficial for the
COW, giving her fine glossy appearance and
materially benefits her in flesh and in general
health. For horses there can be nothing bet
ter; and all who want to see their horses i'm
prove and look well. as also to give them vi
gor of muscle and lively and cheerful action,
let them have carrots, at least a peck three
times week. Carrots will pay the farmer
well. Twenty to thirty tons can be raised on
an acre. The land for this crop should be well
and thoroughly plowed and made fine, and
planted in rows by seed-sower.

A witty young rascal, passing through the
town of A, in Alabama, mot long since, wan
ted some whiskey, and knowing it could only
be obtained by physician, wrote himself an
order, signing it with his own name, to which
a learned NJ. D. was attached. He presented
it at the drugstore of a gentleman, who though
unrecognized by him proved to be an old ac
quaintance. ssHallo, Frank said he, when
did you get to be doctor ?'' ssI'm not doc
tor.' ssWhy, what's this NJ. D. to your name
for, then ?'' Frank saw he was caught; but,
determined to make the best of it, put on a
very innocent look. and meekly answered :
'sOh that's for Mighty Dry" Of course he
got the WhiSkeY.

The Illinois Central Railroad, at town call
ed Mattoon, is crossed by the Terre Hapte and
Alton Railroad Every day at about 2. P.
NJ, are seen four trains coming from four diff
ferent directions, arriving at this point at the
same time to second every day. They can
be seen as they approach for ten miles in each
direction, the prairies there being smooth,
broad expanse, stretching away to the horison
without any inequalities to obstruct the sight.
As they arrive their cow-catchers approach to
within twelve feet of each other, as though
exchanging salutations, when gracefully back
ing, as though bowling adieu, two of the
trains go on to the switches, while the other
two scream away over the iron-bound prairie.

In CAPTIVITY THIRTEEN YEARs.-The Lam
caster Erpress says that recently Mr.. George
Brubaker, a citizen of that county, returned
home after an absence of some years. He was
captured by band of Camanches, while on
his way to California. in 1S47, thirteen years
ago, and had just escaped from them. After
becoming acquainted with the language and
habits of the Indians he was made a medicine
man, and in that capacity did great deal of
good among them, preaching to them, and has
succeeded in converting over two hundred to
the Christian religion. 1t was only after the
most solemn promises that he would return
that they would allow him to depart, and he
will go back as soon as he has seen his family,
who have mourned him for years as dead.
