The health department of Boston appears to
be shockingly inefficient. On Sunday night
man suffering with small pox, of the most vir-
ulent type, was found on pile of boards in \
lumber yard. He had abeen wandering around
for a number of hours, having been driven out
of his boarding place by his landlord. After a
good deal of red Itape the man was put into an
ambulance and carried off, but where, nobody

Denmark.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is amusing to observe how
political hash is prepared and served in the
staid old Democratic town of Denmark.
The great fugleman in the Democratic ranks
is Charles E. Holt, who arranges the eau
cuses, tells the Democratic ROSTERS when to
crow, makes bargains with the Liberal Re-
publicans, and controls and manages the
present fusion movements. There are good
many of the Simon pure Democracy in Den
mark whose advice was once considered of
some value, in great party contests, but who
now are obliged to take back seats while the
play goes on. The dose that Holt is now
preparing for them is to take Sam'l. j. Davis,
Liberal reorner, for Representative to the
Legislature, q genuine sorehead, and by this
means ring in some four or five for the
Democratic State ticket. What a glorious
spectacle this will be to see the Democracy
Of Denmark playing second fiddle and dane
ing before these fuglemen Holt-Davis & Co.

"HoN. MARCELLUs EMERY, ESQ.," 10
what one of our Maine editors wa, recently
called in his own paper. There is something
almost pathetic in this, and to the philosoph-
ic observer it affords clew to the readiness
with which Democrats and Liberals alike
have this year abandoned principle in the
scramble for Office. A perfect craze for
titles has taken possession Of two or three
score of men in this State. They are as
mad an March hares on the subject Our
brevet Governors, Pillsbury and Kimball,
have for several years been the butt of all
who have noted their weakness. "Hon."
Marcellus Emery has for some time afforded
a fair mark for the sharp thrusts Of the Wing.
"Col." Lang must havebeen promoted from
the ranks on the field by "Gen." Knox.
Can't something be done to satisfy the long
ings of these gentlemen in legitimate way,
without resorting to the dreadful expedient
of electing them to office?
WE are told by those who know that all
the bars wereppen in Augusta on Thursday
last, the Jiay of the mass convention, and
that the attention of Hon. Joshua Nye being
called to the fact he admitted it TO be so.-Ar-
gus. ID 1.-
This is probably the truth, At any rate,
some means of obtaining stimulants must
have existed, for correspondent writes that
he saw seven drunken men at the depot at
one time, and the depot was not regarded as
good spot for drunken men either. Our
correspondent also noted the fact that the en-
thusiasm for Greeley seemed to be in direct
proportion to the degree of inebriation.

in that city, says of Miss Annie Louise Cary:
Miss Cary was in superb voice, and though
the clossness If the air rendered it very diffi-
cult to sing, she far exceeded the highest antic-
ipatiOns OF the audience. Her every appearance
on the stage was greeted with enthusiasts ap-
plause, which was repeated with ten-fo1d fsrvor
at the close of each piece. She was twice re-
called, and sang in response Moulton's charm
ing little song, Beware and "Fishes IN the
Sea-" which she gave with a hswitching arch
ness that fairly carried the, ,.ulence by storm.

Future Prospects.

The splendid victories which have
already been achieved in North Caro-
lima, West Virginia, Vermont, and
Maine IRE but passing shadows Of the
great national triumph which awaits
our party in November. These State
elections show plainly the drift of pub
liz sentiment. The ripple which start
cd in North Carolina has swollen to the
proportions of genuin" tidal wave in
Maine. No one Of judgment can
doubt that the November tide will
sweep away the sham reform movement
as cnsily as the ocean tide sweeps the
drift wood from its shores. The future
is bright with promise! Our national
progress is not to be stayed by the fos-
SLICED issues Of the dead past. We
are to enjoy the joys Of heroic sacrifice.
The blood and treasure expended to
save the nation in its hour Of peril are
to be the foundation stones Of a Repub-
lie whose glory will belt the earth, and
whose influence, like the morning sun,
will light up the darkcned nations Of
the world. Let US thank God for this
assurance Of victory, and bear the old
flag in triumph through the conflicts
which await us. The election Of Grant
means the triumph Of right over
wrong, loyalty over disloyalty, honesty
over corruption, peace over disorder,
law over those who defy it, the Repub.
lie over those who still seek its de.
struction.
Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1872-10-10

The Register Of last week tried to
create little sensation, because the
County Commissioners raised the valu-
alton Of the real estate Of Austin vii
]age sixty per cent.
1t may be that as it now stands, the
valuation is too high, when compared
with real estate throughout the county.
If it is the State Board will reduce it,
or should it be found necessary to make
the aggregate valuation greater, the
State Board will increase that portion
Of the county which may be found too
low. The assessment Of Mower coun-
ty is not as high as it was two years
ago. The broad acres range little
higher, but the village is less by about
$40, 900 than it was two years ago. The
great Improvement in the country JUS
tifies higher valuation than formerly
Thousands Of acres have been broker
fences have been built, and many
fine farm buildings have been erected
and yet the whole county is valued al
only S4.S5 yer acre. A levy Of tiv'
mills m the dollar was ordered by thu
Board for county purposes.
