The past week has taxed the energy and
physical ability of the Harper House man
ayers pretty heavily, but everything has
moved along ike clock work. Mai. Moul
ton. the superintendent, has had his hands
and head employed, day and night, and
hi, aids, Mr. Robert c. Willerton, in
charge of the office by day, and Mr.. Ed

straight Mr. Frank Stewart, too, in
charge Of the dining room, has made every
body feel contented and at home. The

STILL UNHAPPY.

Our late lamented post master is in u
most unhappy frame of mind This morn
ing he exhibits his great grief, in a lament
over the failure Of little Krell to get a
strictly partizan board of election Judges
appointed in all the wards of this city.
Little Krell, acting as the tool of the Re
publican party managers, contrived to
smuggle through the Board of Supervi-
sors list of judges bearing the name of
only one Democrat in each ward. Super
visor Jarvis, the next day, revised his list
in the LIST Sd and 9Th wards, leaving it un-
touched in I'd and 4th. Little Krell was
made tool Of to trick the Board into a
giving the Republicans strictly partizan
list of judges, but Sup'r Jarvis divided
the list fairly, and saved it from be-
ing strictly partizan list.
Speaking Of the action of Sup'r Jarvis,
the Union says:
Mr. Grenell OF Cordova, Chairman OF the Board,
especially emphatic In this denunciatOn of
this piece of party man9uyering He declared II
the frat case on record In which an attempt was
made TO run the Board Of supervisors strictly on
party grounds.
If Sup'r Grenell, made any such remark
he exhibited an entire ignorance of facts.
But it is not likely that he made any such
remark.

The Little Squad of Gslesburg Farmers and
Judge Craig.

A gentleman who has been a resident
OF Knox county for more than twenty
years, writes us as follows in regard to the
telegram sent over the country that Knox
county farmers had repudiated the nomln-
alton Of Judge Craig. for the Supreme
Court:
A few farmers in the vicinity of Gales

The Reason for erant,s Blos,ss Face

10 tt8t LuatoI VI Inc Argus
Nothing does me more good than TO have
a false impression removed My heart al
ways overtows with thankfulness towards
any living creature who, by word or act, re-
heyes me OF mistaken notions. | thank
you, my dear sir, for publishing the

Grdphte. Through you | tender my most
heartfelt obligations to the writer OF that let
ter for discrimination of a dark and devious
subject, and l feel especially grateful to
this writer for the very delicate manner in
which he treats painful question. The
Graphic correspondent informs the public
that 1T is an open secret, in Washington,
that the President is troubled with a
complaint in the kidneys just what an
open secret is we are not informed.
He is, says our informant, 1T IS some
times feared threatened with Bright
disease and has suffered painfully without
betraying his sutferings and it is now
stated authoritatively, on what authority
we are not told, that the eftuslon OF blood
and bloated appearance Of the face which
have too frequently been attributed to
less eXcusable cause. are due TO the period
zeal attacks Of his complaint, which some
hon affects the nerves and blood vessels of
the cerebellum, and give a c0ngested ap-
pearance to his face. Now, we all see Just
how this thing is, and with one accord
must eXclalm how the world is given to
lying! Butthe Graphic writer doesn tstop
here. Your correspondent, says he,
knows several instances where many in
furious impressions have been created res
pecting the President. derived from the
appearance of his face-which is due en-
tirely to the chronic difficulty above allud-
ed to. How plain this whole matter now is,
since we are assured that the "bloated APP

by complaint which affects the blood
vessels of the cerebeilam' No question
could be less clouded than is this one after

some young Irishman, Of "a years, was
taken to the Bellevue Hospital a raving
maniac. He was thrust into one of the
cells in the lower part of the building,
and with great difficulty piDioned to his
bed. He yelled and struggled at such
rate that he was ordered to be put Into a
straight jacket. On Thursday morning,
while the physicians were trying to devise
some proper treatment, Warden Brennan
sent for the young man sweetheart, and
in an hours time pretty, blue-eyed
Irish girl, blushing and laughing, came
to the Warden and said she que ssed she
was 1.-THE only swateheart Peter had"
Slipping into the cell Of the mailman,
she went to his bedside, put her arm
around his neck and kissed him. He
ceased to struggle and became quiet.
She smoothed his forehead. gently strok-
ed his face, and fed him as though he
were a child. The hearty Warden watch

ACT FROM PRESENTATION few per-
sons there are whose lives are governed
entirely by principle, rather than incli
nation. Even those of lis who may be
endeavoring to live for high purposes,
come far short of our aspirations, alas !!
how very far short. How often we find
ourselves debating with our convictions
of right and duty, questioning if it might
not be just as well for us to yield to in
clination just for the time, promising our
disturbed conscience that we will make
up for the present indulgence, by more
rigorous self-denial. and strict attention
a weak nature we can never make up
for one neglected opportunity one mis-
spent hour one wrong, selfish act
Once past, the opportunity unimproved,
the hour wasted, the act committed, it is
beyond our reach or recall, except in
thoughts of regret. We may atone for
it, but we can never change the past
Alas how painfully are we aware of this
fact. Then should we all endeavor the
more earnestly to make our lives orna-
ments of principle for we all know that
after all, the path of duty, though some
times rugged is not without sweet pleas
ure and let us never follow our inclina-
tons if they would lead us away from
right. Then shall We be permitted, at
the last, to look back upon our lives with
satisfaction, feeling that we have ''done
what we could and that our Father re-
CARDS us with smiles of approval.
