He is immensely rich, and is accused Of
being miser. He owns great tracts of
land III Minnesota, and refuses to sell
them in small parcels or accede to popu-
lar demands to sell mill privileges on
streams whose channels he monopolizes.
His property is his own and LIE has an
undoubted RICH: to do with it as he sees
fit. But he is not only hard headed
lawyer and an equally hard-headea
Democrat. but he is quite as far removed

Accidentally SHOT. - Last evening,
Mr.. II. Mannheim. of the corner Jewelry
store. while examining small Smith Il
WessuE revolver, to ascertain if it was
loaded, met with practical demonstra-
ton that the weapon WAS fully charged,
by the contents of one Of the chambers
exploding, and the ball passed through
the tieshy portion of the left hand index
finger, infiicting painful but not dan
gerous wound. 1t will not prevent him,
however, attending as usual to the
wants of his customers. Mannheim says
that examining pistols to see if they are
loaded, is second-handed business, and
in future he will not bother himself to
see if his stock of fighting material IS in
good order or not.-Eu~esd Seat.atei, Jan.

.JouRNA11sM AS A BUSINESS. commen-

JOURNALISM AS BUsTNEss.-In commen-
ting upon the failure of a newspaper manager,
the St. Louis Globe tells plain truth in the
following words: "rhe business of journalism
will continue to be an inviting field for expert
ments to those who have q large amount ofmon-
ey and large amount ofegotism. A man who
having edited newspaper until he was forty,
should suddenly announce himself a lawyer,
would be regarded as fool by the legal profes-
sion and yet we often hear of lawyers of for
ty making sudden pretensions to journalism
There is an idea that the business of editing
requires no apprenticeship; thai editors come
forth from law offices and colleges fully armed
for the profession, like Pallas from the brow of
Joye. 1t is mistake there is not in America
to. day asingle journal ofnational reputation who
has not devoted more time and more hard work to
his profession than, with equal fitness and ap-
plication would have made him great lawyer
or good doctor And yet ninety out of ev-
ery men you meet on the street will hesitate
about carrying hod or making apair OF shoes,
whereas there will probably not be one in the
hundred who can't, according to his own
Judgment, edit any newspaper i'll the country
better than it is edited, no matter in what man
ner or by whom"

STATEsMANL1KE VIEws.-At the late rous-
ing torch-light procession in Atlanta, Gen;
Gordon was one OF the orators. lie concluded
bis speech at the great jubilee by an appeal
for continued prudence and forbearance which,
he said, were the Christianity of all politics.
He said: zone boon ask in this hour ofyour
deliverance. ask you to commission me- in
your rame, to pledge upon the floor the Sen
ate, your fidelity to the Union under the con,
stituition, your acquiesccnce in the laws passed
in accordance with the constitution, good and
bad, until such laws be fully repealed; your
support of all rightful authority your cordial
friendship for every man and all mon ofall sec
tions, who will aid in restoring peace to the
citizens, purity to all departments of the Gov
ernment and the constitution to its supremacy
over Presidents, Congress and parties and peo-
plc Loud cheers. thank you, my country
men, for that response. You are as temperate
in triumph az you were great in adversely.
You cherish malice to none and are hostile
only to thieves, usurpers and tyrants."

ADVICE TO DEMocRATs.-The interest we
take in the welfare of the Democracy prompts
us to give them word of advice in this very
trying hour. The hour is critical because it is
an hour of victory-no mere fragment Of victo-
ry, but a deluging, sweeping triumph. The
Democracy have proved that they can bear
defeat with oaken fortitude; it is success that
tries them most severely. Success in the past
has been fatal to them by provoking them into
excuses which forfeited the popular confidence
and brought on defeat. Mr.. Benton used to re-
strain the savage and dangerous ardor of his
party in the midst of their triumphs by warn
ing them in his slow measured way, that 'smod-
Grafton is the ornament of victory" The Dem
ocracy will do well to remind themselves of the
Bcntonian maxim. The supreme duty of the
victorious party in the crisis is to keep level
head. The contest fought ON Tuesday was
very important, but it was skirmish. 1t was
the prelude to the real battle for national pow
or in 1876. Victory in that battle seems at
this moment to be within the easy reach of the
Democracy. Nothing but an exhibition of
that inexplicable and inexcusable folly which
the party have o habit of manifcsting at the
most inopportune times can forfeit it. What
they need is patience, sclf-control and a wear
ing of their honors with becoming meekncss.-
ST. Louis Republican.

LEGENDS orTHE AppLE.-The apple, which,
as we know, is the first fruit mentioned in the
Bible, has been the occasion of various legends
and superstitions In Arabia it is believed TO
charm away disease, and produce health and
prosperity. In some countries the custom re:
mains of placing rosy apple in the hands OF
the dead that they may find it when they en-.
ter Paradise. The Greeks use it; as symbol
of wealth and large possessions, thus attesting
their esteem for the fulness and richness of
its qualities. In northern mythology the apple
is said to produce rejuvenating power. Ger
many, France, and Switzerland have numerous
legends regarding this fruit. In some it is
celebrated as the harbinger of good fortune eau
sing ones most earnest desires to be fulfilled ;
in others its beautiful properties are shown
forth as bringing death and destruction; 9TH
ers again speak of it as an oracle in love affairs;
this is especially the case with the Germans,
not only in their numerous tales, but in some
surviving customs. In England, as well as in
our own country, is known among schools girls
the popular use of the apple seeds in divining
ones sweetheart The peeling is also used as
q test in this delicate matter.

- 1t was neck-and.neck contest between
the Democracy of Ohio and Indiana as to

A suuff.taker begins with pinch of snuff per
day, and ends with pound or two every
month. Swearing begins in anger; it ends by
mngling itself with ordinary conversation.
Such like instances are Of too common notorie-
ty to need that they be adduced.
- An exchange gets off the following on de-
lnquent subscribers: Looking over an old
ledger, we see long array of names of former
subscribers who are indebted to us. Some of
them have moved away and are lost to sight,
although to memory dear. Others are carrying
the contribution boxes in our most respectable
churches, and others again have died and are
angels in heaven, but they owe us just the
same.
"A physician calling one day on gentle
man who had been severely afflicted with gout,
found to his surprise the disease gone, and the
gentleman rejoicing in his recovery over bot
tie of wine Come along, DOCTOR" exclaimed
the valetudinaran "you are just in time to
taste this bottle of Madeira. 1t is the first of a
pipe that has just been broached." "Ah" re.
piled the doctor, "these pipes of Madeira will
never do. They are the cause of all your suff-
ering." swell, then," rejoined the gay incur
able, "fill your glass; for now that we have
found out the cause, the sooner we get rid Of it
the better.''
- 1t is impossible to estimate the blessed
effect produced upon nations health and
happiness when, on the return of each Sunday,
millions are thus set free from toll when the
ledger is closed on the desk when the ham,
mcr rests upon the anvil, and the wheel of the
factory is silent; when the mine sends forth
its crowds into the light and glory of the new
born day; and when men can rest their wea-
rid frames, or tread the green earth or hoary
mountain and breathe the fresh air, and look
calmly upon the blue sky overheard, or listen
to the sounding stream or beating sea wave.
and when the very dumb cattle partake of the
universal blessings.

History has been ransacked for the times

History has been ransacked for the times
when Massachusetts, went democratic. Inc
memory of living men was not equal to I1, the
task. 1t seems that the state voted for Ihom-
as Jefferson for president at his second electlon
1904 A long gap then intervenes. In 1857
Marcus Morton was elected governor by a ma
iority ofewo votes, and afterwards reelected
by the legislature He was democrat, but he
owed his election to liquor issue. There is
another gap error until we come to Gaston's
election on the top of the unexampled tidal
wave of IA, unless the coalition of 1850 which
elected Boutwell, governor and Sumner, sena-
tor, be considered on exception. Jefferson,
Morton m and CASTOR are in truth the only dem
ocrats who have carried the state since the
origin of the government.

AN the girls, says Jennie June, now wear
their hair combed back plain and tied in
Chinese g-tail, or old-fashioned queue, at the
back. This is o revolution so complete, after
the puffs and braids and chignons and water
falls, that it detracts much from their appear
ance en- mdssc, and makes all women appear
suddenly to have grown smaller and palmer.

engineer finds safe footing-walks from side to

For the ADVOCATE.
Last Christmas Night.
BY JuL1 Us,


Oft memory's chain across the brain
Doth draw a picture bright,
A merry train which went from Kane
To ride-last Christmas Night.
The wind did blow across the snow;
Our hearts were warm and hight,
The hour to go came very slow,
To us-last Christmas Night.
One said, "the bells with music swells
Prepare with all your might
Past wildwood dells and mountain fells
We go--this Christmas Night"
The sleigh drew near and with cheer
We hailed the joyous sight,
| 1t was so queer, ne sat so near
The girls, last Christmas Night.
Our course we bent and onward went
Past happy homes so bright
In sweet content We joyous spent
Those hours last Christmas Night.
With laugh and rout and hearty shout
Enough to cause alright
Until lungs stout with use gave out
We went-last Christmas Night.
Our hearts beat time to the sleigh-bel
chime
| As we passed the mountains white
1--WE drew no line Of the lapse of time
~ As vs rode last Christmas Night.
