1t is said that President Grants
reason for nominating Attorney General
Williams for the office of Chief Justice,
was that by selecting man from Oregon
his enemies could not easily prove that
he was his relative. Then he nominated
Caleb Gushing because everybody knew he
was not a relative. He finally became
desperate and nominated the best man he
could find for the Office, who had never
been in the political market at any price.
Nobody objects to Waite except few old
fogies who want the Office themselves.

BY OLD BUSTER.

Our neighbcrhood was startled the 18Th
inst, by the finding of Mr.. Fred. Rapp
lying dead near his brother-in-law. Mr..
John Myers residence, about miles
south of here. He had been suffering for
some time from lung affection, and the
day before, he went over to his farm
about half mile of, and started back to
MIR. Myers that evening, and was found
next morning dead. He was tracked to
where he crossed the fence, (Which was
about 200 yards) by the blood. II ap.
pears as If he slipped on the fence and
commenced bleeding from the lungs; he
stopped about half way and leaned against
an apple tree, and from that on it appear
ed as if he hurried until he fell. On his
person was found some letters to friends,
in one be stated that he was to be mar
ried: the time fixed being about the time
Ills funeral was preached. She who was
to have been his bride attending; also, he
stated that he expected to soon go to his
eternal home. He was well respected by
all who knew him.
Mr.. VIM. Miles came near drowning.
on the 18th inst. He was going in COM
pany with some Others to church that
night, and near the middle of the lake he
run into an air hole, but by timely assis.
lance he was got out all right.
Mr.. Henry Hume got his hands badly
torn, in Mr.. Benedict's saw mill, on the
a2d inst. Dr.. w. Jackson dressed them.
and he has hopes that he will not be
much crippled, as he did not have to am
putate any.
The late fox hunt was a grand success:
but as the foxes did not know of the ar.
rangement, they failed to make their ap-
pearance, and Gen. Gaskill thinks he will
not climb another straw stack soon to
see the foxes come in, if his neighbors do
not keep quiet about the last. There is
another one appointed, for the 3lst of

fastenings of their doors.
To add TO the horror of the situation II was
discovered that the flames had crept through
the southern sleeping-rooms, and, following
the draft along the corridor, had cut off the

Between prayers and shrieks and groans the
scene was now too much for human hearts.
Knowing their utter inability to render aid,
many turned away from the sickenlng scene
they found it as difficult to endure as to re-
lieve.
Some Of the girls had courage and presence
OF mind to turn their drapery over their heads
for protection and rush through the sheet Of
flame, and thus some escaped. Others rushed
back TO the north side and cast themselves
from the windows upon the roof Of the
adjoining building, whence they were
| rescued. Others sank bewildered In the
suffocating smoke, and, like some of the
guests on the floor below, yielded without
a struggle to the terrible death before them.
The climax Of horror had not been reached
till Nelly McCarty, one Of the dining-room
girls, appeared at the southern attic window,
and proposed to cast herself to the ground,
forty feet below. "A warning cry arose from
the crowd, but the poor girl would not
retreat. Death was behind her, and with a
wild cry of despair she cast herself forward
and fell, pitiful mass of broken bones, on the
pavement.
The fire extended to the adjoining buildings,
and before 1t was extinguished large portion
of the village was laid in ruins. 1t is esti'
mated that the loss by the fire exceeded
$3.50, 900, and that 100 families were rendered

A fire occurred in Millerstown, Pa, recent
ly, which, besides the destruction of property,
was the cause of the death Of several persons.
The fire broke out in the Central Hotel. The
bar-keeper of the hotel, who was sitting up
with a sick friend, was the first TO discover the
fire. He Immediately rushed through the halls
TO arouse the guests. There were, including
servants, hundred souls in the house, and
directly the corridors became the scene Of the
widest dismay. Fortunately there were no
lady guests registered, or the story Of horror
and death might have been immeasurably
more painful to detail. The flames drifted up
the wooden walls, and quicker than 1t takes to
tell 1t spread over the entire southern side
and were curling in a thousand tongues from
cornice and gable. Men rushed almost naked
into the hail. some not even taking their
clothing in their arms, and, anxious only te
escape with their lives, tore up aud down the
corridors, madly seeking some outlet from
the pursuing flames.
The widest horror prevailed. Shrek rose
upon shrek, in heart-rending accents, all the
more impressive because they came from
strong men graphing with death, with the
odds so terribly against all mere human power
Many ON the lower hall had found their way

A Strange Family Meeting.

ANOTHER curious case of "Enoch Arden"

married man of CaZenovia, n. Y, lett his
wife and young daughter, and started ON
a prospecting tour out West. lie went TO
Iowa and pitched his tent, it seems, far
out of the way of the usual mail routes OF
that day. He wrote to his wife in Gaze
novia regularly for some months, and
never got any replies to his letters. AT
length he quit writing and buried him
self in the wilderness, sad and solitary
man. Not hearing from his wife at all
as the years rolled on, he supposed her to
be dead, and finally quit writing or max
ing any further inquiries about her. Late
ly he had business East, and was return
ing on the New York Central Railroad.
In the car he became an object OF interest
to q lady of middle age, who was with
another much younger woman plainly

These two got into animated conversation
of which he was the subject At length
the lady accosted him, asking his name,

it appeared that both had been the victims
ofthe imperfect postal system OF the back
woods. Neither had ever heard word
from the other since they had separated
in Cazenovia lifetime before, and each
had supposed the other long since dead.
A confidential conversation of great inter-
est to all three of that scattered family en-
sued. The lady had removed from Gaze

MY OLD CLOCKS REPLY.

"SAy, my clock, why art thou ticking,
Why so regularly go;
Why not In cratic humor
Move now faster and now slOwm
Thus l spOke-and was dreaming
That saw the old clock beaming
In broad and unctuous smile,
And thus heard itspake the while;
"My dear friend," in such familiar
Language did my clock begin
"Time and must run together,
Neither lose and neither win;
Fruitless Is my vain endeavOr

Strive to hasten or delay"
Z" But, my clock, why art thou Ginning
All the hours as they fly;
Is II not enough while timing
That they hurry swiftly byf
Are they not forever ieeting
Be thou silent or repeating;
Why, then, with thy silvery tongue
Hail the hours, one by onef"
Then my clock, still broadly smiling,
Made to me this def reply:
"If my silvery tongue were idle
Ne'er a silvery tongue had l:
Not for me are idle questions,
Not to me belong confessions
Why strike or why go,
have never sought IN know.
"All my trust Is in believing
What my Maker does is well.
Unconcerned and undeceiving,
Faithfully each hour l tell.
Then what fate may overtake me,
Or what chance may come to break me,
will know" Its smile was beauty,

"Thanks, old clock thy gentle lesson
Never shall my heart forget;
II shall eoothe me in repining
And reproach me in regret"
And, alas thought, what waiting,
Seeking reasons and debating,
Are we guilty OF while yet
Life's plain duties we neglect.

A FIrteen.HOurs' Walk for Life.

On Sunday afternoon young man
named George Falk swallowed, as he
stated, three ounces of laudanum and five
grains of morphia, in order to end his
life. There was but one way of saving
him, and that was to keep him in motion.
After relieving him as far as possible,
his physician ordered that he be walked
until he was out of danger. At halEpast
two o'clock Sunday afternoon he was put
upon his tramp for life, and was forced to
walk in the open air as rapidly as he
could His father kept by him for long
time, and friend or policeman as
sisted. After some hours the father gave
out, and finally officers and friends grew
tired. At last officers had TO be taken
from their beats and made to do duty in
saving the life of the would-be suicide.
When the walk commenced it was with
great difficulty that he could be kept
going, and so great was his stupor that al
times he would almost fall like stick
Frequently 1t was necessary TO catch him
and move him on. He reeled at times
like drunken man, and then again ht
would revive considerably. The dreary
monotonous walk was kept up withou
intermission until halfpast six O'Clock
yesterday morning, when the physician
consented that he should be allowed Il
take rest. The life of the young man wa
saved, but the struggle for freedom from
the effects of the drugs was a severe one

have been fatal.-BaItimOre Gazette.
