ODE TO THE "RED NAN"

ODE TO THE "RED NAN"
Alas thy name will soon be lost,
Amid Pacific's roar
Thy merry song and joyous shout,
Wen hear them never more
The white man follows in thy track
For thee, no restis found
No Alabama for thy. race,
No happy hunting gronnd. !"
Once, all was quietude and peace,
The ''Fed man" roamed at will;
Followed the chase from near and far
Ger noun tain, plain and hill.
Thy limpid streams sparkled and dashed
Along the rocky shore;
Their waters then were undisturbed
Save by the Indian oa=.
Fierce as the tigers of thy woods,
70 thee the 'pale face" came;
Snatched from thee what thy birthright
was,
Without remorse or shame.
With weary steps you're marching now
Far toward the setting sun,
America Thou well may st blush
For deeds of guilt tho'st done. s.

Progress in Science.

An English paper says: The progress
of natural science has OF late led to the
utilization of hitherto unsuspected forces.
Among the most curious discoveries in
this direction, that of Scotch natural
ist, who has put a mole in harness, de-
serves particular notice. Being desirous
of testing the strength of the little gen.
tleman in black velvet, be caught one
alive and tied it by the tail to a child
toy cart. The mole weighed two and
three-quarter ounces, and the cart with
stones PUT into it weighed in all sixteen
pounds. This the little creature drew
with seeming ease in presence Of many
spectators An animal capable of draw
ing so many times its weight ought to be
valuable for purposes of draught, but as
& team of moles could not be left stand
ing outside a public house for any
reasonable time without disappearing un-
derground, there is little probability that
any improvement will take place in the
race through association in the labor of
man

ONE of u Nodaway exchanges
claims that that county has more
school houses in it than any other
county in the State. This speaks vol
umes for the public spirit and good
sense Of the people of that go-ahead
county, and the Journal makes good
use of it as an inducement for eastern
immigrants to locate there. While
we aim, of course, to detraet nothing
from the solid merit of that excellent
county, we believe the same process
of reasoning will apply still more
forcibly in commentator of Andrew
county as a stopping place for those
seeking goodhomes in good society;for
while NOdaway county may exceed
in the number of school houses, its
population and territoriallimi are
also largely in excess, but in proper
ton to the number of square miles in
each, the difference will be found in
favor OF Andrew on the "schoolhouse
question"

one would have thought, owing TO
,heir hi@h-soundin@ pretensionS, that
the superiority of the candidates
t4cV would put in the field, would so
far ovcrsladow all others. that their
election would be a mere form. Also,
that the interest the people would
take in their selection would be cor
rc>pomdinglv greater than was evlnc-
ed in the Republican nominations.
But. alas. the trUN is far different .
They had equally as fair a day for
holding their Convention, anda weeks
longer notice, yet the number of Del.
crates i'm attendance was much less.
(and the number of 0ficc-seekerS
grcater). It will prove interesting
and instructive for the reader to scan
the anne of delegates to the county
convention, ard the list of nominees
for county and township offices. As
10 the superiority of the ticket over
The Republican, that is a matter we
chcerfully submit to the calm. DELHI
e"rative Judgment of the p~eoplc-that
Judgment, we firmly believe, when
expressed at the polls, Will be i'll IA
vor of the entire Republican ticket.
The Convention met, and went TO
work, after the usual preliminaries
of organization. The coast seemed
10 have been cleared for the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Bird without opposition
for the principal office. Mr.. McFad-
den did not sail through quite so
smoothly. His name took q portion
Of the Delegates by surprise, and four
ballots were necessary to place him
in nomination by a small majority.
And now comes the Democratic
Convention the following Wednesday,
and plays its little prepared piece by
gratifying" or renominating, Messrs.
Bird and McFaddcn, and one of the
other nominees for District Judge-a
nice little arrangement which they
Ehink will add sufficient strength to
their ticket to enable them to get the
other three of their own number
elected, and thus entirely defeat the
Republican ticket.
The people now have the whole
field before them. There is evidently
4 corrupt fusion between the Democ-
rNcy and the Peoples Party, formed,
not 10 promote the highest interests
OF the people, but to secure office. 1t
remains to be seen whether those Re-
publican Peoples Party" men, who
are Changers i'll good faith, and Re
publicans i'll good faith, will longer
cling to the peoples Party" and al
that grand organization formed
for Agricultural and social advance
:nent, the pride 0! the farming COM
'2unitv,-to be prostituted for politi-
purposes. and 1t, rs well as them
used as instruments for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and confusion of the
political party of their choice.

Thursday noon) the minutes OF the

nesdav, have not been handed i'll. We
were present, however, and took Il few
notes. The Convention was slimly at
tended.-a poor representative body.
Three townships unrerresented. John
l.. Stanton and Newton Bird were placed
in nominate on for County Judge for the
county at large. This led to some little
''sparring' between Messrs. G. F.BoOh-
er, of Rochester, who favored Mr.. STAN
ton. and |. Il. Williams, Of Savannah,
who favored Mr.. Bird. The ballot re-
suited: For Mr.. Bird, Sc; Mr.. STAN
ton, II. Mr.. Birds nomination was
made unanimous. For School Commits
sioner, Mr.. McFadden had no opposi-
ton, and his nomination was made
unanimous. Then the Delegates from
the different Districts got together, and
made the following selections for Dis
trict Judges:
District No. 1-Wm. N. Shanks.
&c. X. Smith.
" 81 l.. Stanton.
4-Georgc Lambright.
1t will be noticed that Of the above,
six candidates are equally di-
vided between the Peoples Party and

Nearly Strangled by a Snake.

The Utica Observer relates this story :
" A girl, IA years old, in the employ of
Jerome Brockway, has been spending a
few days in the wilds of Pike county,
Pa, and had a narrow escape on Satur-
day last from being strangled to death
by n black snake. She was sent ny her
mistress out into the woods TO pick
whortlebenies. She crossed the lake in
a small row-boat, accompanied by small
Newfoundland dog, and walked three
fourths of mile into the woods where
the berries were plenty. After filling
her basket she sat down on log and ate
her lunch. AS she was about to start for
home large black snake sprang about
her neck and began choking her. The
frightened girl screamed at the top of
her voice for assistance, but there was no
one near enough to hear her cries. At
length, when she was 50 exhausted that
she was unable to cry out, the snake
twisted its head around so that she could
reach it. At first she was afraid to
touch the monster. Then realizing that
she must do something or perish, she
caught the snake about the neck and
choked it until it relaxed it's hold and
fell to the ground. The girl then threw
it against rock and succeeded in killing
it. She tied small hickory withe
around the snakes neck and dragged it
home. 1t measured six feet and eleven
inches
