County Government.

There Is q dissatisfaction In many

many made by individuals. Some
prefer Board of Commissioners to
be selected from districts represents
ing certain population. Others
think the old Judge system the best,
while few others think the present
system good enough-with perhaps
little mending. On this subject the
Burlington Hdwk-Eye says:
"There Is good deal of fault found
with our present County Supervisor
system. 1t .s cumbersome, expen-
sive, and inefficient. The boards are
too large. Fewer men would do the

steel Railroad Rails.

Mr.. Booth, of Rochester, N. Y,
who has given much attention to the
subj ect of rails, has examined four
Ressemer steel rails placed at the
North street crossing on the New
York Central Railroad, which prob
ably receive more wear than any
other four rails on the road. The
rails, which are reduced now lie of
an inch only, have been down ten
months, and over them pass daily
4S6 engines and 3,262 cars. Taking
into account the greater weight OF
engines with tenders, he estimated
one engine equal i'm wear to four cars,
which estimate. added to the 3,2G2
cars, equals 5 ,2O6 cars, 1894 wheels a
day, or 6.257 200 wheels for ten
months. The greater portion OF
these cars are loaded, and much fric-
ton is produced at this point by the
locking of the wheels and the revers-
ing aud slipping Of the drivers; ut
least the action is more severe than
on the main track line with rapid
movement. but with this ratio OF
wear admitting 1t about equal, 1t will
take twenty-slx years for twenty
daily trains with twenty cars to u
train to reduce the steel one. eighth
Of an inch from the first convex sur
face; indeed, as in consequence oi
the wear wider surface is left, Ii
will require thirty years of wear, or
1861 400. wheels to reduce besse-
mer steel rail one-eighth of an inch.
The wear upon these four rails ap-
pears uniform from end to end.

| n jealous Young Indy STANDS on n
Eee-Hive TO watch Her Lover Toy
Ing with n Pretty yidow---The
| Hive is Overturned, and the Esecs---.
| From the Albany Evening Journal.
The presence of the green.eyed
monster is as frequently perceived i'm
high as in low estate. Pretty young
ladies are, 1t is said, peculiarly liable
to the queer disease. 1t creeps into
their hearts i'm such insidous dis.
guises that the artless little beauties
are not aware of its existence until ID
crops out in such passionate excesses
that 1t frightens them to contemplate
il.
No doubt il was precisely In such a
way that young lady on franklin
street, Albany, became amenaable to
its influence. For some time past
she has regarded a youth with special
favor. Charley possesses many at
traetive qualities. He dresses in the
latest mode, wearea an " Alsine,n
and cultivates moustache. Yet he
Is tickle In disposition, and while his
lips are attuned to the harmony of
sweet words, and low, passionate
recital of loves anguish for the fair
Julia's ears, his mind is enumerating
the attractions of the pretty little
widow around the corner.
Now, this widow is no friend of
Julia or she of her. For her life she
can't see what Charles admires I'm
her. Indeed, Charley denies any
special interest in the coquetish beau
ty, but he goes TO see her none the
less. The fact that Julia disapproved
had no effect in changing his prac-
tice, and lounging with a woman's
curiosity to know what it meant,
Julia determined to find it out. She
forgot her self respect, and became "a
spy. The pretty Julia became all
aves-dropper.
Seeing Charlie entering the front
door of the coy little cottage where
Ia the widow abided, she hastened to
admit herself into the yard by the
rear gate, and peeped in at the wid-
ow. Just underneath the window,
however, was u little square box, Oh
which Julia stood to get look into
the room. Her worst fears were real
ized. On sofa just large enough
for two the pretty widow and Char
lie sat, with heads inclined, and IA
low monotone issuing from the lips
of either, telling as plainly as words
might have done OF loves confession.
Julia stepped back, the box turned
over, and innumerable angry little
insects issuing, proclaimed it a bee
hive. OF course they stung her.
Fierce as mimic warriors the angry
little demons laid hold of her shape
ly extremities, POPPING sting into
the plump little hand, another In
the rounded cheek, aud even the
sjlken lose were no protection to the
exquisitely finished ankle. She
rolled OH the ground, and crushed
ruthlessly in mud and mire hel
hands, feet and body.
The house was alarmed and the In
mates came rushing out to learn the
cause of the uproar. Even the i'm
pudent Charlie looked cunningly
over the widows shoulder; but that
might be pardoned had he not asked,
sympathetically, "if the bees had
stung her?' Hartshorne aud cam
phor were called in 10 requisition,
aud Julia, swathed In fannels and
poisoned by the sting of the bees,
consigns both Charlie and the widow
TO very disagreeable lives hereafter.

Wendell Phillips and tho
Late Elections.


Wendell Phillips, I'm the last num-
ber of the Anti .S2apcyy .Stcndnd
thus discourses on the late democrat
lc victories:
"The late elections do not much
change the aspect of public affairs.
The republican party can hardly be
said to hold its own. still IL remains
strong. The most striking feature is
the revival of old issues aud the
interest In new ones. This shows
that we are floating away from the
keen and angry devotion to the ono
great question of the war-the negro.
In the state of New York the strug-
gle was entirely on local interests.
In Massachusetts, new party--the
workingmen-polled nearly fifteen
thousand votes, aud has placed in
the legislature twenty-five represen-
tatives. The woman question also
appears more distinctively than IL
has ever done before. In the western
oeAtNo thN SAihI utNNlEiOH vi DuDllC
attention Is apparent. This should
rouse our friends to more activity
our day is fast slipping away. We
must work while the day lasts.--
Once let public thought float of from
the great issue Of the war, and it will
take perhaps more than generation
to bring IL back again. Meanwhile
two things are evident. Unless some
remedy is devised, the negro will
stand In peril and use his rights only
at great personal hazard for many
years to come. Secondly, il Is as
evident that the administration at
Washington does not mean to inter-
fcre actively In his behalf. Presl-
dent Grant not only does not plan
any interference, he cannot by any
appeal be reused to allow or arrange
any,"

Men Wanted.

The great want of this age is men.
Men who are not for sale, Men who
are honest, sound from centre TO cir.
cumference, true TO the hearts core.
Men who will condemn wrong in
friend or foe, I'm themselves as well as
others. Men whose consciences are
as steady as the needle to the pole.
Men who will stand for the right If
the heavens totter and the earth rolls.
Men who can tell the truth and
look the world and the devil right in
the eyes. Men that neither bray nor
run. Men that neither flag nor
finch. Men who can have courage
without shouting to it. Men In
whom the courage of everlasting life
runs still, deep. and strong. Men
who do not cry nor cause their voices
To be heard on the streets, but who
will not fail nor be discouraged till
judgment be set i'm the earth.
Men who know their message and
tell It. Men who know their places
and fill them. Men who know their
own business. Men who will not
lie. Men who are not too lazy to
work, nor too proud to be poor.
Men who are willing to eat what they
have earned, and wear what they
have paid for.
