S7'ROLLING IN THE LANE@

THE daisies star the summer grass;
And, with the dancing leaves at play,
Adown this lane the breezes pass,
In pleasant music, all the day.
/ love the sweet, sequestered place,
The gracious roof of gold and green,
Where arching branches intcrlace,
With glimpses of the sky between.
see the dropping roses trail
From tangled hedgerows to the ground;
l hear the chanting swell and fail,
or fond love lyrics, all around.
And here, adown the shady walk,
In days divine now passed away,
Entranced, | listened to the talk
That ever held my heart in sway;
In days when birds began to sing,
Because they found the earth was fair;
In halcyon days of happy spring,
None aught but us our Joys to share.
But pleasure past is present pain;
The petals of the rose are shed;
The piercing thorns alone remain;
/ live to sorrow for The dead.

COUNTY PoLITICs.--As yet there
seems to be little thought given to
the subject of candidates for County
officers this fail among Republicans,
but our Democratic friends, either
feeling more confident of success, or
being naturally more eager about
such little spoils, are talking up tho
merits and chances of various aspir-
ants quite freely. Orville Strong,
James Ryan, Dick Dunstan, and M.

connection with county oiiices-are
frequently heard whilo Byrns, Ken
nedy, Comfort, and Others less known
to fame, are occasionally mentioned.
Soon after the nomination of Con-
gressional candidates, these minor
matters will attract attention.

Common Sense and the Centennial.
HOW AND WHEN TO GO.

The weather having grown cool,
those who dislike leaving their homes
whilst the thermometer ranged 95o
in the shade, will now make grand
rush for the Centennial. The TT.
Wayne & Pennsylvania Railroad,
having anticipated this, have all of
their magnificent new cars and roll
ing stock in the most complete and
perfect order, SO the Centennial vis-
itors may not want for anything to
add to their convenience and COM
fort. 1t must be remembered tha.
tickets via Washington and Balti-
more, may be purchased at the Same
figure as a straight Philadelphia
ticket costs. This enables many per-
sons to visit the Nations Capital,
view the the "city of magaaicent dis.
tances," and the large piles of mar
bic and granite, of the Capitol, War,
Treasury, Post and Patent Office
Departments, the Presidential Man
sion, and all the public institutions Of
Washington. Then, Baltimore, Phil

Railway lincs,- advantage which

fifty pages. They are beautifully
illustrated, and a great convenience
to the tourist and traveller in select

tails map Of the Centennial Grounds
of Philadelphia, and are invaluable.
They can be had by mail, free, Oh

election is announced to be held at
Dodgeville, on Sept l6, when the peo-
pie Of that town viii vote upon q
proposition to aid the construction
OF narrow gauge railroad from
Freeport.to that tpIace, to the amount
of $4,000. The proposition is, that
the town issue bonds to the amount
specified, to be delivered on the COM
pletion of the road, or in proportion
ate amounts as the building of the
road progresses, the whole payable
ten years after the road is completed
and i'll operation. In return, the
Company guarantees certain tariff
rates for ten years, which are much
below the rates charged for freight
and passengers on railroads now in
operation and further, to pay back
to the town at the end of SO years, the
amount Of aid voted. Converse
ton with different people of the
town, leads us to the opinion that
the vote will be in favor Of the
proposition by a large majority.

Iowa is,we believe,the only county
In the State where the general cleo
ton notices are not published in all
the papers. Here the Sheriff, who
has charge of the publication, ignores
all papers save his party organ.
This was brough5 about by the
County Board having some years
ago, in fit OF economy, criticised
the printers bills; since which time
all sheriiIs have been afraid to have
their notices published in more than
one paper. 1t may be that the peo-
pie begrrdged the fees paid to the
printers for this advertising, but we
don't believe it. If it is right that
the readers of the Democrat should
be posted concerning the questions
to be voted on, it is also right that
the readers of the Chronicle and
TRIBUNE,should have the same in.
