the approaching election. We know
that IvliliCs Are feanfully mixed this
season, YET Ec have q notion that we
may Lazaid estimates Of the several
counties with toierabIe accuracy. To
begin with We recognize Storey as the
great battle-ground OF the campaign. Ii
:he Republican State ticket carries there
by 200 majority. not more than three OF
tbs Democratic candidates viii be under
the necessity Of applying for certificates
Of Election. The tickets VIII not aver
age overly well before the people. There
are some weak nominations On both.
For the purpose Of our speculation We
will take the nominees for Governor
We give Bradley Elko by $50 majority;
Lincoln 300; Nye 20: Humboldt 200:
WasLoe 125; Churchill 20; Esmeralda
and Douglas 125. Total majority for
Bradley. I.Gi5.
Now, let Us see about Hazle.t's
chances. We give him White Pine by
80; Lyon I65; and Ormsby 100. Total
for Hazlett, 325; which, taken from
l,G15 leaves Bradley 600 ahead with
Eureka, Lander and Storey to hear from.

FIom a private letter, October 22d,
we make tie following Interesting ex-
t.acts We have had the hyeliest time
here tonight that has occurred during
the campaign. De Long made US a tip
top speech at the Coult House. After
Tom Fitch, he beats all the stumpers
have heard in Nevada. And Uncle
George Tufy You should have heard
him make his speech. He spoke about
minute and half. 1t was overwhelu-
ing. He said everywhere the people
whispered in his ear: You have a hard
colt to curry" But" said be, Il am
a hard colt myself I've got more sur
face than he; after this election, he'll be
the worst curried colt in the State"
The words were nothing it was tie
manner. BY Heavens. what glorious
singers that Virginia Glee Club are !.
Together with the spicy talk OF Tufy
and De Long, the singing made proba-
bly, the richest entertainment the people

We give the following for the
benefit of young people who want
to know just how it's done:
Inquiring Young Lady-"Oh,
dear, tell me how John declared
his love :"
Expectant wife-"Well, Fanny,
we were in the parlor you know, and
all at once he turned up his eyes,
so l thought he was i'll. Then he
turnd EN- down and squeezed my
hand, and asked me if I'd have
him-and-"
Inquiring Young Lady--"Well,
dear-well, what did he do next 2"
Expectant Wife-"Nothing dear :
but | said yes, and gracious, how
he kissed me. Then, dear, l had my
head on his shoulder, and then he
talked, dear. Oh, how / trembled !

us these things are so. We behold
the mean, groveling worm of to-day
transformed on tomorrow, q thing
of glory, that hutters in the beauty
of new and bright winged exis-
tence, and we say "Thus shall men
die and live again." We behold
seasons of the scar leaf and falling
nuit-the snow-wreathed hill and
ice bound stream, and when they
pass and the earth rejoices again,
and from their loneliness, and the
flowers look up and smile at us, we
exclaim, "Thus shall man, who
fades away like the Summer flower
or the Autumn leaf, break from
the bonds of earth, and exult in a
new cline, where the sun never
sets, and where all is bright for
ever"
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1874-04-15
stand I'D.

Some time ago we read an &C.
count of an accurrance on the
Mississippi River, which suggests
an important thought. AS steam
boat was passing along, the pilot
noticed man foundering in the
water and crying Justify for help.
The pilot at once shouted: "Stand
up! The water where you are is
not more than three or four feet
deep" The man obeyed, and tc
his own surprise and the meriment
OF the passengers, discovered the
unmanly part he had been acting.
Thus it often is in life. People
suppose themselves in great difficult
ties; their courage iailes; their
manhood forsales them; they
make everything a burden. They
pour their lamentations into every
ear they can reach dispair seems
ready to conc upon them. But if
they would only open their eyes,
plant their feet firmly on the
ground, stand straight up, and take
4 deliberate view of their situation,
they would discover how imaginary
were their fears, and how ridiculous
they were making themselves in
the sight of their beholders. To
whine and complain, and to fail to
make use Of the powers given
Us, and of the opportunities pre-
sented, is injurious to both soul
and body. The cheerful heart, the
firm resolve, the wiling hand, and
the calm trust in Christ, brighten
the path of life, overcome its difficult
ties, and at length secure the great
victory.

Travelling Thoughts.

l. Eat regularly thrice a day,
and never eat between meals.
2. Take with you one-third more
money than you calculate on spend
ing.
3. Take small bills, rather than
large, TO avoid having bad money
passed on you in change.
4. Aim to be at your place OF
starting at least ten minutes before
the time and grow merry and wise
at contemplation of the sputterings
and mishaps of those who come In
at the last moment, and half min.
ute later.
8. See that your baggage is or
the conveyance before you are
yourself.
6. Remember that you make
your character as you go along by
the quiet courtesy of your manners
7. Only bores are boistrous.
8. Do not let the servants exec
you in patience and politeness.
8. "Please" should commence
every request, and "Thanks" enc
every service. done. TT r
10. A lady is always gentle; {
gentleman always composed.
II. Never argue on any subjec
II there are more than one presen
besides yourself.
IL. Never fail to set that persor

A Clergyman informed the peo-
pie at the close of his sermon that
he intended in q few days to so
on a mission to the heather. After
the congregation was dismissed a
number of the members waited on
the pastor and crowded around
him, expressed establishment at the
new turn in his affairs, asking him
where he was going, and how long
they would be deprived Of hi:
ministrations. He said to them
"My dear friends. do not be alarm,
ed am not going out of the vii.
lage.'

AS the beauty Of the most en-
chanting country is heightened by
contrast with the horrors of a
dreary desert; so the charms and
worth Of dying Christians piety
appear more conspicuous, when
contrasts with the dismal gloom of
sad dispair, of those whose day
has closed while the dark stains OF
unpardoned guilt remained upon
their soul.

An exchange says: "a man
who draws the prize of squeahing
boots from a shoe store always gets
them on Saturday, and by the next
day the full power of the squeak
is developed. He arrives at church
at the opening of long prayer
and is admitted by the sexton with
admonitary gestures Of silence.
The FIRST step inside the door is
followed hya sound like that OF
ripping a clapboard of the side OF
barn, while all the ladies on the
right side Of the aisle tip their TOP
knots to one side and squirt from
their left eye, those on the other
reversing the order. Balancing
painfully on his worst corn, he
makes o most gradual effort, and is
rewarded by hearing the same
harmonic reverberancc like linked
sweetness long drawn out Then
he tries to navigate on the balls OF
his feet, and waddles along on his
heels. He clutches convulsively at
the sides of the pews to tighten his
weight, knocks down a woman's
parasol, and gets all the deacons to
raise their bald heads and the skin
across their foreheads, and scrowl-
ing as they do the rest OF the week.
So he determines to mince the mat
ter no more, and trots along fast,
jerking ont spasmodic shrieks
with a regularity that he never
could in anything else, and reaches
his pew with all his under garments
turned to porous plasters, and his
face of a color to match the saint
done in red glass in the principal
window"
