A Bit Of History.

The opinion that Washington was our
first President Is very prevailing one
and yet it is by no means the literal
truth. Undeniably he was the first
President under our present Constitu
ton, but be had Il predecessors under
the revolutionary government and con-
+. deration. The first of these was Pey-
ton Randolph, Of Virginia. who was
chosen Sept. 5. 1878, and died in Of

IVA. He was succeeded by Henry
Middleton, Of South Carolina, who re-
mined in Office until March "a, 1875.
at which time john Hencock, cf Mass.
achusetts. was elected. The latter
served until Nov. 1777, when Henry
Laureus, Of South Carolina, succeeded
him. Next came John Gay. Of New
York, who was appointed Dec. l1,
1878. In 1779, Sept. 20, Samuel
Huntington, Of Connecticut, entered
upon the discharge Of the duties of his
Office. His term continued until July
10. 1881, when Thomas Kean, Of Del
aware Was appointed. His successor
was John Hanson, Of Maryland. who
was chosen Nov. 5. 1881. Next in
order is Elias Boudinot. of New Jer
sey. who was elected Nov. 4, 1882.

pointed Noy. 4. 1888. Next came

Our BONDS In EUROPE cahle

~SAs A>NAs w AA> 12OhVHN.- C0OI0
we learn that the decline in American
securities is in consequence of large
sales on German and Dutch account.
As the result of the sales is not unnat.
ural the sales themselves are only
what might be looked for in the cir
cumstances that iuperil the peace of
Europe. German merchants and con-.
tractors are no donbt engaged to sup
ply the greater part Of the demands
that Russ! ia uust make for the equip
ment and supply Of million aud q
half of men that she is organizing for
actual service. German and Dutch,
bankers must furnish the capital with.
which these contractors will operate,
and they will find themselves suddenly
in wan of the large sums they had
snugly invested is our securities. They
sell, of course, and forced sale in
large amounts necessarily hurts the
price. This is only first effect, and
we shall have the same experience a.
little later in an aggravated form. 1t
will not do us any great harm eventu-
ally, for if the trouble continues there
will be prosperity on our side that
will largely increase the cash that peo.
pie here will have to invest.

Something Peculiar.

We notice great many, suggestions
flying around loose on the winds that
Hayes had better withdraw because
the results declared by the Louisiana
Returning Board are not altogether
free from a suspicion of fraud. Hayes
has been solicited to withdraw by sew.
eral Democratic newspapers on this
ground, and it is said that he receives
great amount Of correspondence
pressing upon him the propriety of
withdrawing to preserve the public
peace He is reminded that be has
said he would not accept an election
tainted with fraud, and besought,
therefore, to get out of Mr.: Tilden's
way with all convenient speed. Now
here is something peculiar. Mr.. Til
den has never said that he would not
accept an election procured by fraud
or violence. Nor has any one said it
for him. 1t seems to be universally
accepted as fact that he will accept
the Presidency if he can get it without
any embarrassing enquiry into the
means whereby the result is brassht
about. Ncbody dreams Of imputing to
him any scruples as to methods, SO the
end is attained And though the
proof is patent, indisputable that his
claim to have been elected, rests upon
the most gigantic and villainous OF all
frauds-she compulsory disfranchise-
ment of tents of thousands of Republi
can voters in the cotton States by
Threatened or actual violence, supple
mented by the future villainy con-
trived by Mr.. Tilden whereby Oregon
it robbed Of her electoral vote, no Que
thinks Of asking Mr. Tildep for this
reason to withdraw from the pollution
OF this Lo;rable infamy, for everybody
knows that she Innocent creature who
should make such suggestion would
be very much smiled at for his pains

It is stated that the New York
Times is the only Paper in the United
States that did not concede the cleo
ton of Tilden on the morning after
the election. The following is what it
has to say Of the situation.

credit, and the disturbance Of business
which their action will involve. The
long and needless wrangle over the
question which should have been set

s:Fr0m the Earth to the Moon"

We have just rec"iv. 4 this new hook, by
Jules VERNE, the famous author of
"Aronrd the World i'll Eighty Days" etc.
1t is most interesting, indeed exciting,
story of 4 remarkable attempt to hurl Il
hinge hollow prof. sctiie containing three
persons, viz: Barbieane, Nicholl and Ar
dan, to the moon! This projectile was
discharged from an enormous cannon, built
at cost OF $500 900, and the wonderful
voyage began. The earth is far below
them, the moou is only 800 miles away-a
passing comet nearly dashes them to pieces
Like all of Verne's works, its pages are
charming reading, aud it's profuss aud
striking illustration, by Twenty Eight fine
engravings, greatly increases the pleasure
Of its peruSual. Although the ordinary
price of this book is LOO, ytt THE LAKE

Situation, and Advises Democrats to
DO Likewise.
"The regular certificates which will
be forwarded to the President Of the
Senate, authenticated by the Cover.
nors OF the several States, give 1876
votes tar Hayes and Wheeler and 1S4,
for Tilden and Hendricks. On tho
face Of the certificates Hayes is, there.
fore, elected. We judge it probable
that this result will stand at all
events the burden of proof is now on
the side Of the Democrats, with the
prima facia case against them. But
whatever may come afterwards, it is
altogether probable that Mr.. Hayes
will be the next President"
The-uerald sayes further editorially:
"The Demnesats may gain a party ad-
vantage by agitating the subject, and
paradiug evidence, Of fraud, but it is
against all probability that they. will
succeed in making. Tilden the next
President of tie United States. They
may lay the foundation for breaking
up the Republican party, but they are,
not likely to prevent the inauguration
Of Hayes However stron, the Dem
ocrats may be convinced that they
have been chea.ed out of the election,
they will go to the length of violeqca
or revolution but after resorting. to
every constitutional and ncaaa!:::,, means
OF remons1'""c-cc tney will at last ac-
cepe the situation and attempt to make,
political capital out of the frauds which
have been practiced upon them The
Democratic party has a better pros
poets for ruling the country in the fu-
ture that it would have had if Tilden
would have been declared elected and
had come into Office with a hostile
Senate and embarrassed by a notorious
split in the Democratic party on the
currency question. If the country
shall be convinced that the Democra.
tic candidate is defeated by fraud, the
Republican party will find hat it has
dug its own grave" ."-[ Nev York Htr.

The OLDEST AND The Best
These are the claims which the pub
fishers Of the New York OBSERVER
make for their paper in their prospec-
tus of the .JyfyJjA rolume. And,
while history bears them out in the
6rst, an undertaking course in sending
out a large, full, fresh, readable fami-
ley newspaper, gives them at least a
right to the second. In the great
multitude OF papers that are published.
the OBSERVER holds its own position,
and an cuviable position it is. No pa.

How Premium Batter was Made.

Mrs. Chester Rice Of Ottawa Coun.
ty, Mich, won gold watch at the
Kent Fair tor the best ten pounds Of
butter. In late Michigan Farmer
appears letter from Mrs. r., telling
how she made this good butter. She
says: "Our COWS are what are called
native freed; they are kept in past
ures, mostly clover, and we'll watered !;
they are salted twice a week, and are
MIXED regularly by the same person.
Our cellar is cool, Of quiet aud even
temperature, in which l keep my milk
during the warm weather; in cool
weather in room warmed to the right
temperature. l set my milk in the
usual way, taking care, that all the
utensils used are clean sweet, and that
it does not set too long, then as soon
as the milk changes, before it gets
thick, pouring off the cream; pour
considerable milk with the cream, both
for the purpose of getting churning
quick, and of having the milk wash
the butter. I do not use water in
washing butter. Salt to taste; let it
stand about twelve hours, then work
till the liquid worked out is clear, but
I am careful rot to work to much. I
use Dewitt cburn with reservoir in
the bottom for the purpose of obtain.
ing the right temperature of the cream.
I churn at about 62 degrees Fahren
heit; churn every other day in sum
mer, twice week in cool weather.
The premium butter was made as I
usually make butter. l have made
butter about 18 years in connection
with my other household duties. I
have no September butter and would
not like to make butter now or after
this time to be compared with that
made in September"
