there appears some disinclination to at

1t is supposed that Mr. Evarts will re-

otherwise, has enjoyed monopoly Of
attention during the past week or two
in political quarters. Whether found
ed upon actual knowledge or the result
of mere speculation, Mr.. Cornell is
credited with having instigated Cor.
nell's mutinous conduct with view to
compelling the President to recall or
accept the wager of battle so defantly
thrown down. AS the Tenure Of Office
Act would make it the duty of Mr..
Hayes to assign his reasons for suspend.

correctness of the general impression
that Cornell has the sympathy ofevery
Republican Congressman who dissents

civil service and politices; and that it
is with the hope of forcing the Presi-
dent to declare his authority for his
now celebrated order to join issues with

The Narrow Gauge.
UNDINE.

Mr.. Lecount, of Hartford, in the
course of an article descriptive of ride
on the Narrow Gauge, from Iron Ridge
to Fond du Lac, says:
The passenger train leaves Iron
Ridge at half-past six P. M on the
arrival of the mixed train from the
west and arrives at Fond du Lac at
eight in the evening, leaving Fond du
Lac at seven forty-five in the morning
and arrives at iron Ridge in time for
the eastern bound train. The fare on
this road is reasonable, being only one
dollar and five cents one way between
the two places, or one dollar and fifty
FIVE cents for the round trip. This
would only make two dollars and five
cents from Hartford to Fond du Lac
and return. The time occubied in
making the run between Hartford and
Fond du Lac is about one hour and
twenty minutes, the distance being
twenty-eight miles, which is good time
considering that the track and every
thing is new. a
This road when completed. must be
a success, as it taps the great lumber
region of Wisconsin at the north and
the extensive coal mines of Illinois at
the south, besides other objects of
commercial interest along its route, not
the least Of which is the great iron ore
bed at Iron Ridge. over which it passes.
And then the cost Of building this road
is small compared with roads Of the
lsral gauge, it being a trihe over seven
thousand dollars per mile, cost of con.
structing and equipping; also the ex-
penses of running is proportiona!ly less
as from observation I noticed that one
cord and half of soft wood was sufi-
cient fuel to make the run from Fond
du Lac to Iron Ridge and return. the
distance being fifty.six miles. There
is various conjectures and speculations
as to the route the road will take after
leaving Iron Ridge. Defnately as re-
CARDS this | could learn nothing, as
the company thus far has been silent
on this point But this cannot long
remain secret, as [ learned that the
company is soon to commence opera

BRIGAM YoUNG's funeral must nave
been an interesting OCCASION A Salt
Lake City dispatch says at 11:3O Brig
hams family entered the new taberna-
Gle and flled eight rows of seats at the
foot of the coffin, the large organ and
band playing the pastoral symphony.
On the first seat sat Brigham's young
est daughter by the first wife, tanning
her mother, who sat second. Next to
her sat Amelia Folsom, the seventeenth
and favorite wife, and beyond and back
were arranged the other wives, sons,
daughters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-
law, and grandchildren that reside in
this city and vicinity, numbering 2s5.
It was sad to see this interesting family
left without father and protector.

A HAIRY CHILD. We must say
that the child, Oracle Gilbert, the lit
tie daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Giles Gil
bert, who resides Is miles east of
Angola, in Northwest township, vii.
liams county, o., is the greatest living
curiosity We have ever seen. The
child is about Is months of age, finely
formed, bright sprightly and healthy,
and almost entirely covered with hair.
The hair on its head is some IL or Is
inches in lenght, and is very heavy.
Its whiskers are three or four inches
in lenght. On its back, body, arms
and legs, is thick, heavy, but fine,
silky growth of hair. covering almost
its entire body, and some two or three
inches in length. And, strange, to
say, there is no responsiveness in the
sight, no deformity, and moreover, no
humbug. Barnum, with all his grand
spluges and big blowing as to curiosities
and humbugs he exhibits, never has
had real, genuine actuality, living
curiosity, human OF otherwise, that
surpasses this pretty little child, Oracle
Gilbert. - Steuben Republican.

Death Of Theirs.

This great statesman of France, and
its ex-President, died last week Mon
day evening, of apoplesy. A loss not
only to France. but to the whole civil.
lied world As statesman and a
writer he had few equals. The Chica
go Post, in reviewing his career, says
For over half a century he has played
a remarkable part in French politics,
coloring its literature with his opinions;
assisting to make and break govern
ments, and finally appearing as the sa-
viour of bis country when foreign ar
mics thundered triumphantly at the
gates Of Paris and anarchy reigned
within.
He was an old man in years, being
born at Marsellies in 1897: but the
world has always thought him young
from the vitality which he infused into
all bis public measures, and from the
activity with which he prosecuted his
political career. NJ. Theirs was educa-
ted for lawyer, and was admitted to
practice at the bar of Marseilles, in
1918. His ambition for literary and
political career carried him in 1921 to
Paris, where his writings, which COM
prlsed finished essays and criticisms,
brought him to acquaintanceship with
the leading political agitators of the
dav.
What NJ. Theirs has accomplished
tor his country, what he has suffered
for it, made him the great man of
France. He was adored by the popu-
lace, who realized how much he had
been to them. His death deprives
MacMahon of his most formidable ad.
versary, and robs the nation of it's
greatest statesman and one of it's ripest
scholars. For fifty six years he has
been part Of the nations history, and
to him, Notwithstanding all his errors,
France owes more than to any King or
Emperor who has ruled her people.

The president is much ANNOYED at
the course of the Democrats in South

and regards the action as violation OF
Hampton's promises to him. The
Cabinet are all Of the opinion thai
Hampton and his party have brokep
faith. After their meeting to-day a
member of the Cabinet remarked thar
the President or any Of his associates
do not desire to shield Senator Patter-
son, or any other Republican who is
guilty of the crime, but they thoughr

Republicans in the state looked as If
