ROYAL PRECOCIfY.

! A good many of the stories that are
told OF royal precocity are perhaps truer
than they might appear at first sight, for
| princes are apt to be made much of in
their youth as we'll as in their manhood,
and their wits not unnaturally ripen the
sooner under fostering care. History has
few pleasant traits TO record of Louis XIII,
and one is therefore the more glad to re-
call something which at least represents
him under a naive and amusingly pert
| aspect. Louis was never fond of books,
| and his aversion 10 letters caused some
anxiety to his mother, who may possibly
have heard of William the COnduerer's
remark that an unlettered king was no
better that crowned ass. Deeply medi-
tating on the subject, the royal lady de-
cided that a love of letters must be in
stilled into her sons mind by the homely
means of producing slight irritation of
The cuticle, and M. de Souvre, governor
| of the king, was ordered to take the
necessary measures. The young monarch
| expressed decided objection to the course
proposed to be followed in regard to him.
Seeing. however. that resistance was in
vain, he contented himself with begging
modification of the terms. II see too
we'll" he sorrowiully remarked, "that l
must submit; but M. de Souyre, go gen.
tly to your work, beseech you."7 veil
may be drawn over the painful scene that
followed. Next day the young king went
to see his mother, who, at her sons ap-
proach, rose and made him a low cour-
tesy. "Oh madam" quoth he, "show
me less respect, and do not have me
whipped" Louis may have heaved q
sigh OF regret if he was ever told in his
infancy OF the honorable post of vicari-
Gus whipper TO the kings most excellent
majesty, which was once an institution at
the Scottish court, and which in his
brother of Great Britain's days had been
no sinecure. t1a.}a al .s
More than one writer has made merry
over this singular method of imparting
knowledge to the youthful James but II
one is to judge by results, it succeeded
admirably, for there is no doubt that the
British Solomon was fine scholar. Apro-
pos of James proficiency in classical
knowledge, Bouhier in his Souvenirs re-
lates an anecdote which seems to show
that Gondomar was hardly SO good di-
plomatist as some historians have been
inclined to give him credit for being, He
was talking with the King In Latin, and
making numerous mistakes, at each of
which James laughed outright. The
| Spanish Ambassador at length lost his
temper, and said: 1.-The Latin speak is
the Latin of King. and that of your Maj
| esty is the Latin OF pedant."

REGISTER.

Every voting precinct in the county
should be thoroughly canvassed to as
certain what Republicans will not, at
the coming election, have the necessary
qualifications of voter under the law
without registration, and arrangements
should then be made for having such
registered as soon as the registering
stations are opened. 1t cannot be too
widely published that no fee or charge
whatever is made for registl alton, and
that no registration is required where
the voter has been a resident of the
township, village or ward where he in
tends to vote for one year at the time
OF voting. Speaking with exactness,
residence of full year in the subdivis
ions of the State is not required, and
to put the matter clearly before those
interested, we give the precise terms of
that portion of the first section OF the
law in which the conditions of resi-
dence are given.
The law provides that no person
shall be permitted to vote at any elec
ton unless he shall have been a resi-
dent of the State one year, a resident
Of the county three hundred and sixty
days, and resident of the township. |

THE PIONEERS

Contrary to the hopes and expecta

stead of nature making an amend,

weather was extremely unfavorable

At the hour for commencing the

BRIGHAM YOUNG.

Brigham Young, the head OF the
Mormon faith, died On Wednesday, of
last week, after brief illness. He was
born at Nottingham, Vt, June ],
1901, and was the son to farmer who
had served in the Revolutionary war.
Naturally artful and cunning, he ac-
quired education enough to give him a
plausible address, and first connected
himself with the Baptists, and preach
ed in that connection, though never
ordained. In 1881 or 1882 he joined
the Mormons at Kirtl nd, Ohio. under
the leadership Of 10. Smith, and was
chosen one of the twelve apostles in
1885, then their president, and then
sent out TO make converts TO the Nor
mon faith. He was with the Mormons
in all their troubles and contests in
Missouri and in Nauvoo, Illinois, and
became their leader after Smith was
killed. He abandoned Nauvoo in
1876 and pursuading his followers that
Salt Lake Valley was the promised
land, arrived at the present site of
Great Salt Lake City in July 1847, and
founded a settlement there. OF this
colony, and the subsequent additions
made to it by immigration, Young be-
came the absolute ruler. In the spring
of I849 the colonists organized them
selves into a State, with the title of
The State of Deseret," and applied
to Congress, through their Governor.
Young, for admission into the Union.
This was refused, but the territory of
Utah was organized, and Brigham
Young appointed Governor. He re-
manned in authority from 1850 to 1854.
At this time, from the very considera
bic immigration and their isolated posi-
ton Young felt strong enough to defy
]he United States Government. In
1857 Governor who was not Nor
mon having been appointed, and his
life being threatened, President Bu-
chanan sent a large body of troops
there to enforce his authority; con-
promise followed, and the Mormons
remained peaceable. During the South
ern Rebellion, Young's sympathies
were evidently with the Secessionists,
but he was obliged to keep quiet.
Polygamy was openly proclaimed in
1852. Brigham Young had sixteen
wives in his harem, besides many 9TH
ers ''sealed TO him" as spiritual
wives
1t is hardly probable that any sue
cessor to Young will be able to manage
the Mormons as he did, and the early
decline ard dissolution of the sect may
be expected.

DIR TICKET.

The ticket nominated by our County
Convention, on Saturday last, is re-
garded by all With whom we have con-
versed as one of unusual excellence,
and should command the undivided
support of all good citizens, who de-
sire to see the right Iuen in the right
places.
Daniel Frick, our candidate for Rep
resentatiye is well and favorably
known, throughout the county. He is
man of good ability, and popular
among his people at home. The nom-
inatioD was unsOught by him, and was,
in manner, thrust upon him. The
Republicans should therefore see to it
that every vote within their control is
cast for him.
The name of Martin l.. Detwiler is
synonym of worth and excellence.
Modest and unassuming in his de
meanor, lie has yet a strength of char
acter which has made for him a host
friends. Added to his known ability
to discharge the duty of the office fol
which he is a candidate, is the fact
that lie was gallant soldier, who was
wounded in his country's service, and
lost leg in its defence. No better or
more worthy man could have been
named for the position.
For Recorder we have a man who
has twice made successful canvass of
the county, who stands high in the es-
timation of bis fellow citizers, and is
particularly acceptable to the general
public. In The discharge of the duties
of the office he looks carefully after the
interests of those having business with
him. lie is well adopted in every way
for the position, and We believe the
people will retain him in their service.
For Prosecuting Attorney, we have
J. C. Beitler, young lawyer, but one
who has ability for the Office, and
would be faithful in the discharge of
the duties it enjoins.
John Cusac, for Commissioner, is
man of excellence, an upright citizen,
and a worthy neighbor. He is possess
ed of good business qualities, and
would guard the public interests faith
fully. If the people want to subserve
their own interests they should elect
John Chsac.
For Infirmary Director, A. A. Hickle,
of Delaware township, is presented.
No more popular or deserving citizen
than he, and where personally known,
he will command large vote. He
would be the right man in the right
place, and if elected will DO his whole
duty, for the benefit of the county.
With such ticket as this, the Re-
publican PARTY should succeed, and
they can if they go into the fight de
termined to win No time should be |
lost, in any township, in organizing for
the election. Every township commit
teeman whose name appears in the
list given elsewhere should at once
secure a full pole of his township, and
learn, if possible, the name of every
person who is entitled to vote of regis
tered and not otherwise, and see that
the 21st of September does not pass
without his name being entered upon
The registry list. No fear that the
Democracy will neglect this important
iuty on their side. and equal vigilence
should be exercised by the Republican
Committees. Gp to work at once.
