Old King Coal was a merry old soul:

And be called for the pick, and be called foI

And he called for his miners bold
And its dig" he said, Gin the deep, deeI

You'll find my treasures better worth
Than mines Of Indian gold :"
Old King Coal wa. merry Old soul,
Yet not content was he
And be said, 'Ive found what I've desired,
Though It's but one Of three"
And he called for water, and he called for fire
For smiths and workmen true
Come build me engines great and strong;
Wen have" quoth be, "a charge ere long
Wen try what steam can do"
Old King Coal was merry old soul
"Tis fairly DONE" quoth he,
When he sa W the m yriad wheels at work
Der al the land and sea.
They saved the bones and strength Of men,
They hammered, wove, and spun
There was nought too great, too mean or small,
The gian, steam had power for all
His task was never done
Old King Coal was a merry old soul
Quoth he. I'VE travel slow

As fast as the wild winds blow
And he ca led for his skillful engineers
And soon through hills and wales.
Ger rivers wide, through tunnels vast,
The flying trains like lightning passed,
On the ribs of the mighty rails.
Old King Coal was a merry old soul
merry old soul is he :
May he never fail in the land we love,
Who has made us great and free.
While his miners mine, and his engines work,
Through all our happy land,
We shall flourish fair in the morning light,
And our name and our fame, and our might
and our right.
In the front Of the world shall stand.

WINTER RI LES.
From Halls Journal of Health


Never 20 TO bed with cold or damp feet.
In going into colder air, keep the mouth
resolutely closed. that by compelling the air
TO pass circuitously through the nose and
head. it may become warmed before it reaches
the lungs, and thus prevent those shocks and
sudden chills which frequently end in pleu-
rsv, pneumonia, and other serious forms Of
disease.
Never sleep with the head in the draft of
an open door or window.
Let more cover be on the lower limbs than
on the body. Have an extra covering within
easy reach, in case Of sudden and great
change Of weather during the night.
Never stand still moment out of doors, es-
pecialy at street corners. after having walked
even short distance.
Never ride near an open window If a vehi-
Gle for a single half-minute. especially If it
has been preceded by a walk; valua lie lives
nave thus been lost, or good health perma-
nently destroyed.
Never put on a new boot or shoe in begin
ming a journey.
Never wear India -rubbers in cold, dry wea-
thar
If compelled TO face a bitter, cold wind,
throw silk handkerchief over the face; its
agency is wonderful in modifying the cold.
Those who are easily chilled on going out
Of doors, should have some cotton batting at
tached to the vest or other garments so as to
protect the space between the shoulder blades
behind, the lungs being attached to the body
at that point; little there is worth five
times the amount over the chest in front.
Never sit for more al / niiUIte alta time
with the back against the fire or stove.
Avoid sitting against cushions in the backs
Of pews in churches; if the uncovered board
feels cold, sit erect without touching it.
Never begin journey until breakfast has
been eaten.
After speaking, singing, or preaching in a
warm room in winter, do not leave it for at
least ten minutes, and even close the mouth ,
put on the gloves, wrap up the neck, and put
on LAX or overcoat before passing out of
the door; the neglect of these has laid many
good aud useful man in premature grave.
Never speak under a hoarseness, especially
if it requires an effort, or gives hurting or
painful feeling, for it often results in per-
manent loss of voice. or lifelong invalidism.

says that the only question to be de-

long ago affirmatively, and, of course,
the railroad will come. 1t is estima-
ted that out of this county so six

many back. Sixty thousand dollars
at So per passage would be the sum
received For passengers per year with

accurate estimate, for freight alone,
and this city Goes not supply more
than one-third of the whole County.
Allowing the other two-thirds to pay
as much in proportion, and we may
set down the sum paid for up ffeights

sum does not include freights Of goods

UNITED STATES SENATOR ELEC
TED THE friends Of Weller ard the
community in general were taken by
surprise at late honr on Tuesday
night by telcgraphlc report that the
name of Milton S. Latham, inaugura-
ted Governor of the State on the pre-
vieus day, had been suddenly sprung
in the Democratic Legislative caucus,
ard on the first ballot declared the
nominee. The report was confirmed
twenty-four hours after with the ad-
di;ion tina. the Legislature had met
in joint convention and Mr.. Latham
had been elected.
1t is piece Of news. maddening
some ard astonishing all. Mr.. La
Iham was not known as a candidate.
His name has never to our Knowledge
been mentioned in connection with
the position, and certainly hiS cleo
tion carnot be claimed as the will Of
the people. They had decided that
his services were needed in the CUB
ernatorial chair. He suddenly aban,
dons the post assigned HIM 10y his
fellow citizens, rctires from the ser
vice for which he was CHOSEN and as
sumes the toga of Senator Of the
United States.
We have but few regrets at the
elevation of Mr.. Latham to the Sena-
iorship. OF all the aspirants likely
to obtain the honor he is as good as
auy-perhaps the best. But there arc
some circumstances connected with
his sudden desertion Of the guberna-
torial chair which are unpleasant
The State government is left in the
hands of clever gentleman. but who
is, or should be, Ineligible He comes
from a section which voted at the last
election to dissolve its connection
with the State of which he is now
Governor. He himself has assist cd
to sever that connection llo is an
IrishVau by birth and so far as his
own acts. and the acts Of the section
from which he came, can go, he is Il
foreigner-a citizen of another State.
His occupancy of the gubernatoIial
chair is in contravention OF the spirit
Of theConstituti1n which says that tie
executive Of The State shall be idcn-
t:iied with the interests Of the State
~ the extent Of being at least a eiti-
zen. The Southern part of the State
voted almost unanimously at the last
election to set up foritscli-to dissolve
its connection with California. Mr..
Downcy, the acting Governor Of the
State, became a foreigner, as far as
lie could be made so by his vote and
action at the last election.
