MEETION OF THE HOOK AMI
LADDER COMPANY.

There was an enthusiastic meeting OF
Eureka Hook and Ladder Company
last night. The object of the meeting
was to devise ways and mean for the
relief of the company from its pres
ent financial embarrassment. Telling
speeches were delivered by d. Man.
helm, Ed. Lowenthal, Charlie Pryor,
o. l.. Scott, and other members. A
streak of good luck WAS struck in the
receipt of a proposition from Mr..
Vivian to donate the proceeds of his
ente rtainment next Friday night, above
actual expenses, to the company. A
vote of thanks was rendered MIR.
Vivian for his kindness, after which
the following committee was appointed
to sell tickets and make all other ar.
engagements looking to the success of
the benefit: o. l.. Scott, DIR. A. C..
Bishop, l.. G. Hoover and G.. NJ. Pryor.
This committee will wait on our citi-
zens to-day, and it is to be hoped that
purchasers will be found for several
hundred tickets. No business man or
property holder should decline to take
one or more tickets. Mr.. Vivian's
praiseworthy action in this connection
entities him also to a rousing testimo-
NAL.
There was likewise a second committee
appointed composed exclusively of
non-members OF the company. The
duty assigned to this committee con-
sists in the raising of funds to assist in
the erection of a proper covering for
the Hook and Ladder truck. This ve-
bicle has been standing in the hot sun

less. Unless it is soon housed it will
entirely go to pieces. The committee
charged with the task of soliciting
moneys for the purpose indicated is
composed of +. Q. Swensson, j. s.
Whitton. John S. Capron, VIM. Gillen
and A. Il. Titus. These gentlemen, it
is to be hoped, will meet with a prompt
and liberal response from our citizens.
The Hook and Ladder Company is u
oldest, and for a long time was u
only fire organization. To it's eficien-
cy has our town been indebted on
many occasions for its safety. An or
ganization of this character is deserv-
ing well at tho hands of the people of
Eureka, md we sincerely trust that the
needed funds will he forthcoming
without unnecessary delay. The
members have already taxed them
selves far beyond their ean and it
is now the duty of the community
generally to come to the rescue. II is
due the boys to, place their apparatus
in good running order, and there
should be no talk hack " when the
committee calls for subscriptions. Let
MS put the Hooks on a good efficient
footing for once and then keep them in
that desirable condition. The boys
display a commendable spirit and
pride IN their organization, and it is no
more than right that they he o
aged and assisted whenever and as OF.
ten as assistance is necessary.

George Eliot and Bohemianisn1.

Has any of the thousand critics of "Dan
iel Deronda'' - done justice to the story as
a yindication of Bohemianism In this
regard the book IS supreme. The "best
society has been laughed at, sneered at,
patronized, made ridiculous often enough
before but has it ever been put SO COM
pletely at a disadvantage, intellectually and
spiritually, as in Daniel Deronda ?" Nor
can it be said that any injustice is done.
This Philistine is not refused the need of
good manners. For Grandcourt, even. we
are permitted certain admiration. The
"best society" has done its best for him
he has sselegance, and be has the interest
and attraction of being perfect Of his kind.
But for all this, his overthrow and that of
his class, is the more conspicuous it is he
the motives, the ideas, the life which ne
representative is made contemplate.
we suppose, however, that the best So
ciety" will be found as long Lived as Mr..
Warner describes the effete Ottoman civili-
zation to be. The principleof caste has
it's roots deep in the human heart. Even
Bohemia has it's 'best society" f0ns of

Ambitious Postmasters.
From the N. Y. Herald.

Washington gets itself very easily excl
ted in these days, and our correspondents
there report that the Republicans were in
dismay last evening over the discovery that
not one but two postmasters had ignorantly
and with too great ambition crept on to
electoral tickets. One of these unfortu-
mates lives in Oregon the other, before re-
ported, in Vermont. Both, on reading for
the first time the constitution of their coun-
try, hastily sent in their designations, and
both designations were promptly accepted.
That ends the official life of the two per-
sons but they will regret their haste when
they consider that, having been chosen
electors while postmasters, they were ineli-
gible to the first place but still eligible to
the last; and that, as the laws of Oregon
and Vermont provide that, in case of the
absence or failure to serve of an elector, the
remainder of the body shall at once choose
substitute, no actual harm was done or
difficulty created by the choice as electors
of these postmasters. a
Before this election is settled we shall
all, down to the humblest postmaster in the
land, understand more about the details of
a Presidential election than we ever did be-
fore. The knowledge will, we trust, come
just a little too late for use, for it is not
conceivable that we shall not have constitu-
tionally changed and simplifed the manner
of choosing our Presidents before 1880.
Meantime we cannot help feeling sorry for
these two country postmasters, who viii be
pointed at by their neighbors for the restof
their lives as men of a futile but overween-
ing ambition.

An Odd Elopement.

A short time ago Mrs. Fl. T. Yarbrough
obtained divorce from her husband ON
the ground of iesertion. The husband
went to work at Hickman, KY, and still,
as it appears, eherishfng an affection for her
sent letters and telegrams urging her to
come to him and marry him again. She
accordingly left here on Saturday morning
on the Hickman-bo train. When she
reached Waver1y, however, she was taken
from the train upon q dispatch which her
brother had caused to be sent. He follow
ed her, proposing to persuade her to re-
turn, or in any event to prevent her going
to Hickman TO meet Yarbrongh. AT Wa
verly, Sunday morning, under pretence that
she was going to her room TO lie down, she
and the daughter Of the hotel proprietor
slipped out by the back way, ran mile up
the track, and tagged the western bound
train. Mr.. Sweeney now telegraped to the
conductor Of the train at Frost station TO
put her off at that point, but the conduct
or sent back word that he was not an officer
of the law; that she had paid her fare TO
Hickman, and was entitled to &C there. The
train. was tagged one mile this side of
Hickman, where she met her former hus-
band. He. took her to the Court House, d
Incense was obtained, and they were mar
'ried three minutes thereafter. Naahuille

stage-coaching in Texas.

The ride from San Antonio, Texas. to El
Paso is one of the most stirring bits Of
travel to be had in America. The convey
ance is four-horse stage; coaches are
changed three times; and beyond Concho,
which is PIG miles north of San Antonio,
Bronco mules are unde, harness. This
mule is fiery, untamable little animal,
possessed of all the spirit and speed OF a
race-horse and all the long suffering and
patience of a Spanish iacck. A correspond
ent of the St. Louis Republican gives this
account OF Lie and Murphy, a dun and a
sorrel that have done splendid work on this
road. Until the four-horse coaches were
put on their task was to draw a buck
board twice week a distance of sixty
five miles. The journey was made in a
single night, without water and without
food or rest, except an hour at midnight at
Van Horns Well :. When returned from
Mexico 70. the States these two little mules
pulled myself, another passenger, some 800
pounds Of mail and baggage and the driver
the distance named. The driver cheered
the solitude of the night with many anec-
dotes of their performances, and at our re-
quest and aided BY Us, frequently tried to
stop them between the stations. Our at
tempts To do so were Intellectual, for the
more we would pull the faster they would
| go. Some two weeks later General Cabell
| was the only passenger, and the propensity
of .Lize z and " Murphy" to run was sc
great that he considered his life in serious
danger. He drew his SIX shooter and kept
it cooked. determined to shoot one of them
through the head il they ever left the read.
But leaving the road il something the mules
never do. They ara trained to keep the
read and stop only at stations. They
know an Indian BY the smell, and thu
crackling Of a stick b, the roadside makes
them dart. In case the driver should b
shot from the box they would keep on h
the station all the same. Boston Tran
