ade which gave birth to the proudest.
most humane and intelligent nation up
on the globe. The Evacuation of Bos.
ton, the contests of Long Island, Tren-

the Capitulation at Yorktown, together
with those historic events of minor i'm

manner becoming the men and women
who are become the heirs of so glorious
a heritage.
It is only proper that these events so

festivities Of the hour let it be borne
in mind that the nation has barely liy-

BY What Authority? T..

1t has been stated for some time that
Mr.. P. O. Cassidy is drawing his sala-
ry from time to time, as District Attor-
ney Of this county. We were 10th to
believe it because we are advised that
salaried officers are not entitled to
draw their salaries until the end Of the
year, unless authorized by express order
Of the County Board, and we were in
formed that in the present instance
that no such order had been made.
Upon inquring at the County Clerks
office it appears that Mr.. Cassidy has
drawn $161.00 salary since January
list, last, and the last order bears date
the 22d Of the present month There
has been 20 Chairman since the April
election, who had any right to sign or
ders, and we do not understand how
even Mr.. Baker could, under such cir
cumstances, find authority to issue
them In payment of salary. But, when
it is remembered that Cassidy was, by
the connivance Of Baker obtruded in
to an Office to which the people elected
another man, and that a suit is now
pending to determine who is rightfully
entitled TO it, and that in case Mr..
Gardner is finely successful he will be
entitled to the salary for the term, the
utter disregard Of the public interests,
as we'll as Of law, which characterize
tho payment of salary to Cassidy, is
very apparent. We have no doubt but
that the people Of Wood County who
are somewhat interested IN this matter
would be glad to have Mr. Baker ex-
plain the matter

II IS SAD intelligence that comes to
che people--the dethronement of rea-
son Of the widow Of President Lin
col. Ever since the assassination Of
Mr. Lincoln the mind of the afflicted
widow has been preyed upon by that
terrible event till at last the most init
mate friends of the family, together
with her son, Robert, have been eom-
PEELED to place her in an Insane Asy-
ium in hopes that she may, by a judi
cious course of treatment, be restored
to her normal condition.
Mrs. Lincoln's eccentric department
of late has necessitated the action Of
She past week. Each day added to
her disease, till it was not an unusual
spectacle to see her In the street half
dressed, at the stores making the most
unnecessary and expensive purchases,
and elsewhere so depoting herself as to
bring confusion upon her friends. The
matter was brought before the Court,
the most intimate friends Of the mar
tyred president advising such action,
and acting as jurors in the case. Her
estate is valued at $50, 900 to S75, 900.
The Post and Mail in speaking thereof
In an editorial says:
Mrs. Lincoln's eccentric behavior at
times during the past ten years has
been the subject of general comment,
and las occasionally provoked some
harsh hut wesi-meant criticism. Her
conduct III some matters was not just
what the nation aauld have wished in
the widow of one Tor whom and for
whose memory The people had such
thorough respect. The most natural
supposition was that the terrible shock
had temporarily unsettled her mind.
and With those best acquainted with
the facts, charity covered what would
otherwise have seemed inexeusable
faults. With this will now be mingled
tie universal sympathy and regret of
the public, and the hope that brief
season of quiet and withdrawal frem
excitement will restore her to heE
friends in perfect health.

We PUBLISH the call for the State

State Central Committee have acted
wisely. 1t is evident that the Repub-

candidate for the gubernatorial position
canvassed thoroughly by the opposi-
ton, as he certainly will be. Harrison
Ludington will probably be the man, so

JOHN G. BRECKENRIDGE died at
his residence in Lexington, KY, last
week, after painful sickness arising
ing from bruises received in the rebel
lion, occasioned by a bursting shell.
Oaly a few weeks ago he submitted to
the painful operation of inserting sill
yer tubes between his ribs for the pur-
pose Of forming connections with his
lungs and liver, in hopes that the &C
stimulating pus and decaying matter
might thus be removed. and his health
if not entirely restored, be materially
benefited. The experiment proved
futile, however, and he quietly passed
away with no last words, surrounded
by weeping friend and mourned by a
whole nation.
John G. Breckenridge was one of
the bic men Of the nation, and but for
the rebellion would have been one Of
its foremost men to-day. He came
from an old aristocratic family, and
early in years entered the arena of
public life measuring intellectual "a
piers with some Of the biggest minds
Of the nation. The malstrom of trea-
son de8toyed the splendid possibilities
that were before him and wrecked the
man who otherwise would have become
a star in the nations galaxy OF great
men. The rational and conservative
policy pursued by Mr., Breckenridge
since the close Of the war has tended
to mitigate the odium attaching to the
one fatal error Of his life.

WE DON'T know that fl


WE DON'T know that times have
changed, for we presume men loved
the "iIthy' '-(and we confess it is
handy to have in the house Just as
well one huadrod years ago as they do
to-day, but we can't help taking d ret
respective glance as we look upon the
celebrations at Concord and Lexington
on the 19th Of April. One hundred
years ago it was "buSincss" and dol
lars were moulded into bullets. To-
day bullets are too frequently moulded
into dollars, and the old eagle finds
himself incubated out Of leaden egg
and photographed upon bogus coins.
At Concord and Lexington ragged pa
triotic( y urchins brim fnlJ of patriot
ism, though not so full as was glorious
Paul Revere when he rode athwart the
Essex farms, when the cid North
Church spirc gave to the watchful boy
its frey signal, sold ''slyric stick" at
penny a stem, and ''sons of noble
sires'' retailed gingerbread in cards,
and deluged the multitude with cider
and ]sgingerpop' for the paltry cop
pers, while "Yankee Doodle" and
Hail Colombia'' were making the air
jubilant with their strains. We don't
say this is wrong; we don't say it is
at all improper. It's business and
"business is business you know" but
we sometimes think if there was more
love for Home and Country than for
the gold that bought Beredict Arnold,
treason would be less respectable.
The PERIOD Of Centennials is upon
us. With the remembrance of the
Concord-Lexington fight, when the
''embattled farmers Of old Essex con-
tested the right of King George the
Third to govern people three thous-
and miles across the water, usurping
both justice and mercy through kingly
prerogatiye, we as a people enter upon
a nine years period of glorious centen-
NAL celebrations, The events Of that
epoch after lapse Of al
century will follow in majestic process
sion thick and fast. Already "TIcon-
deroga" whore hero was the brave
Ethan Allen, has been remembered
with IN and imposing ceremonies. |
On the 18th Of June old Bunker
Hill'' will be fought over again. In
quick succession the mighty panorama
will pass before the vision of the
grandchildren of those sterling patri-
Dts Of that. never to be forgotten, dec
