OF INTEREST TO TRAVELLERS
There seems to be some probability OF
railroad companies prest ntly learning
that passengers have some rights
which they are bound to respect.
Quite recently twenty-three men,
among them = leading lawyer, found
thems elves on board an outward
bound New York train, where all the
seats were taken. Under the lawyers
advice they peremptorily refused to
give up their tickets or pay their
fares until seats had been furnished
them, which, after considerable trouble
and delay, was done. 1t would be
well for passengers to bear in mind
that The courts will hold them justi-
fed in declining to pay railroad fare
until proper accommodations are pro-
vided. for them. Another question,
of considerable interest to the travel
ing public, has lust been decided by
the courts in favor of passenger
namely, that a ticket sold for given
distance on any line, is good for that
distance for at least six years. The
railroad company sell tickets stamped
with the date of sale, and good for
this day only" The courts hold that
these tickets are good for any day,
with the exception of excursion
tickets, which are sold at reduced
rates, and are in the nature of a
special contract. So, too, it has been
jUdicially decided that a ticket issued
from one givep point to another is
good eli her way. All that is needed
to induce railroad companies 10 pay
proper attention to the comfort and
of the travelling public,
Ia for the passengers themselves to
insist eivilly but inflexibly upon
their rights on all occasions.

Exeen;IYe Qualities.


Those who conduct the argument of
the campaign as if the whole question
were a personal choice between the
candidates very much mistake the
situation. Moreover, the excessive
personality against Gen. Grant of
many OF the friends of Mr.. Greeley
comes with peculiar illgraee from
those who profess to deprecate the
personal government" of which they
accuse the President. But if, indeed.
the question were to be decided upon
the personal qualifications of the two
candidates for the chief executive
Office Gen. Grant certainly need not
shrink from the test.
For what are the qualities required
in the chief executive officer? They
are firmness. rectiiude, sound iudg-
ment, self-cOmmand, candOr, energy,
quickness, natural leadership, steadi-
ness of mind and purpose, reticence,
moral and physical courage. Now 1t
IS plain that when we think of Gen.
Grant we think Of these qualities, be-
cause they have all been shown in
his career. Does anybody think of
them in connection with Mr.. GTeeley2
Do they appear in the general tone of
the campaign praises of him? He is
called honest; a sage, a philosopher
benevolent, phlanthropic. Does any
advocate describe him as firm, discreet
self-restrained2 One of the chief of
them, Mr.. Samuel BOwles, calls him
a man ofperverse temper and peculiar
to fiattery who will probably
give his faith and attribute his sue
cess to those who faWn upon him,
and SANDER and abuse those who tell
him the truth. Is this a DESCRIPTION
of the qualities and character which
are not only desirable but indispensa-
ble in a chief executive officer2
If we are to discuss the question
upon comparison of the personal
qualities of the candidates, we have
but to suppose Mr.. Greeley as the ex-
ecutive head of the Government du-
ring the war. President Buchanan
said that the seeding States had no
right TO go, but that we had no right
to prevent them. Mr.. Greeley said
that the States had right to go If h
majority in them wished. When the
rebel army reached Pennsylvania an
wanted to fight one battle, and sur
render every thing if we were beatee,
He vexed the soul of Mr.. Lincoln
with his proposals of buying a peace
and by the Niagara performance.
Nobody doubted Mr., Greeley's homes
ty and his sincere hope that ''all
would come right" But what a
commander-in- chief of the army and
navy OF a great nation struggling
with a powerful foe for its life!
What single executive quality-what
judgement, discretion, invineible
irmness, retieenee, self-restrant, NOR
al steadiness-what single quality es-
sential to an executive in a great
did Mr.. Greeley display?

A poetieaI writer has said that some
people move through life as band Of
music moves down the street, Ringing
out pleasure on every side through
the arr to every one, far and near, that
can listen. Some men fill the air
with their strength and sweetness, as
the orchard in October days fills the
air with ripe fruit. Some women
cling to their own houses like the
honeysuekle over the door; yet, like
it, fill all the region with the subtle
fragrance ofthe goodness. How greak
a bounty and blessing is it so to hold
the royal gift of the soul that they
shall be music to some, fragrance TO

NATICK, MASS, July %, 1872.

Madison, Wisconsin
MY DEAR SIR:-The mail has Just
brought me your note and extracts
clipped from newspapers, purpOrting
to be speeches made by me. In an
swer to your inquiries 1 have to say
that they, and all thoughts and words
of like character, which have ap-
peared in papers, are pure inventions,
wicked forgeries, absolute falsehOOds.
Never have L thought or spoken or
written those words, nor anything
resembling those words, nor anything
that the most malignant sophistry
could torture into those words. Could
not have done SO, for they are abhor-
rent to every conviction of my judg-
ment, every throb of my heart, every
aspiration of my soul. Born in ex-
treme poverty and enduring the hard
lot the sons of poverty are too often
forced to endure, I came TO manhood
nassionately devoted to the creed Of
equality. All my life have cher
ished as a bright hope, held avowed
as NV living faith the doctrine that
all men, without distinction or color,
race or nationality, should have com.
plete liberty and exact equality, all
rights asked for myself My
my words, my heart, my
votes nave been conseerated for more
than thirty-six years to human
rights. In the Constitutional Con-
yention of Massachusetts, in eight
wears service in her Legislature, in
more than seventeen years service in
the Senate of the United States, in
thirteen hundred public addresses, in
press. in speeches and writing, that
would fill many volumes and make
of pages, ! have iterated
and reiterated the doctrine Of equal
rights of all conditions of men. Is 1t
not. nv dear sir, strange that parti-
sanship should SO blind men to
sense of truth and justice and fair
play that they could forge and print
abhorrent sentiments, insulting to
God and man, and charge them on
one whose life has been given to the
cause of equal rights at home, aud
whose profound sympathies were
even given the friends of liberty of
all races and nationalities abroad.
Yours truly,
HENRY WILSON.

AMONG WOLVES.

As missionary Rev. Joseph Bad
ger preached here as early as 1904,
but it was some years afterward that
on a Sunday morning at the opening
of the service, he told US his expert
ence of the night before. He said /:
"I had started to come through from
Ashtabula, but as there was no path
1 came on but slowly, and could not
tell the distance had come, or how
far I was from any house, when
darkness overlook me. 1 was be-
nighted. AS 1 could make no head
way through pathless woods, tied
my horse so that it could feed about
some end then I lay down on the
ground to rest. Before long 1 was
startled by the howl of a wolf. This
cry was taken up by score of others
and soon il seemed that a hundred
wolves were ravening for their prey.
I quickly rose, tied my horse then
closely and firmly to tree, and feel
ing about in the dark found limb
which I cut for a cudgel, and pre-
pared for hand to hand conflict with
the enemy. The wolves swept around
till they formed a circle about me. 1
took up my beat around my horse
The wolves narrowed their circle till
they came so near / could hear the
swapping Of their jars. I walked
constantly around my horse, beating
against the trees with my stick, and
shouting all through the long night.
My trembling horse, trusting in my
protection, did not struggle TO get
sway. In the first gray light of the
morning the wolves began slowly to
creep away, and their cries grew
faint and more faint In the distance
till / found they had at last left me.
Soon as could see mounted again
and pushed on through the deep
shade of the woods. Blessing God
for preserving ME amid this, as
through countless other dangers and
perils, suddenly L was again startled
by the barking of wolves. There was
little chance for fastening amid BUSH
es and briars and limbs of trees; they
were coming quite near and their
bowling rent the air, when suddenly
there was a crashing through the
bushes behind me, and like flash of
light a fine, full grown deer Ieaped
out, bubbles of white foam falling
down from his mouth, and painting
for breath he thrust his head along |
side my faithful horse, and so it came |
close beside me till we reached the |
clearing, distance, probably of about
four miles from where 1 spent the
night. The hungry wolves again
baffied, retired to wait for the dark
ness of another night to find them
food"

In the year 1900 the township was
surveyed and lots numbered. Col.
Lemuel STAIRS having now purchased
a part of No. ., he gave it the name
of his son, Gustavus.
Josiah Pelton, of CRANKY, Connec-
ticut, having purchased section of
land north Of the center of Gustavus,
came in that year 1SOO) on horse
back to this unbroken forest to view
and locate his farm. Having arrived,
it was no easy task to find feeding
place for his hone. But along the
Pymatuning creek was plenty of
coarse grass, and here he turned the
animal to roam at will. After feeding
here for nearly a year it had grown so
fat and wild and fond of freedom that
it could be caught only with lasso,
and the catching was the most diff
cult part of its owners preparations
for returning home. He made the
trip in company with a missionary
who had no horse, so the use of this
was shared between them. Safe at
home again, he proclaimed that he
would give one hundred acres of land
TO the woman who would first make
her home on his land in the wilder.
ness. His son Jesse quickly accepted
the offer in behalf of Ruhannah De
Wolf, also of CRANKY; being assured
that she was willing to undertake,
with him, the hardships of pioneer
life. She came with her fathers fami-
ly to Vernon, where she remained till
a clearing was made on her farm, and
a log cabin built. 1t was on the fourth
of June, 1901, that men came to the
raising" and a heavy rain coming
on, all were obliged to remain at the
cabin over night, and reached home
next day, only by telling trees across
the intervening creeks.
As Mrs. Pelton did not move into
the cabin till 1902. her husband bro't
his bread from Vernon. Going thith-
er one day for his baking, he diseov-
cred panther in a tree on the bank
of the Pymatuning Creek. Tying his
coat and hat upon a bush near by, and
leaving his dog there to watch them.
he turned back three miles to the GEN.
ter, for his gun. The dog stood guard
faithfully, and the panther, when
killed, was found to measure nearly
seven feet.
