NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. SAY.

Generally speaking the tone Of discus
sion among the papers is favorable 10
the adoption Of the bill. The New York
limesand Cincinnati Ga=die, both extreme
Republican papers, oppose il. On the
other hand, such able and influential
journals as the Boston Advertiser and New
York Pot warmly supportit. The Posi-
discusses the subject in a very judicial
spirit, and among other sensible remarks
makes the following:
AT no time has either party 10 the
Presidential controversy felt perfectly
sure Of its ground. Tho advocate Of
Hayes, no matter how firm in the belief
Of his candidates election, has doubted
whether the result could be ascertaihed
positively, safely and beyond appeal. The
advocate OF Tilden, equally satisfied Of
the right OF his case, never has seen his
way clearly through the technical diff.
culties which beset II. II the RepubIi.
cans can no longer insist that the Presi.
dent Of the Senate controls the counting,
they are consoled with the reflection that
there is an end Of the pretence that the
House Of Representatives controls it. II
the Democrats surrender the absolute
power Of that branch Of Congress, they
may congratulate Themselves upon hay.
ing overthrow the absolute power Of the
officer who stands for the rival party.
Neither Hayes nor Tilden could look Tor
plain and easy sailing into his Office, or
after he got there, il he should succeed
by force Of tany kind. The compromise
plan puts stop largely to factioas oppo.
sition.

ioyed to hear him answer. He
stated that his position was not ex-
tremely painful: he could breathe
freely; he could stand it for 4 couple
ofd&ys, and implored them to keep
to work.
The workmen now redoubled their
efforts and at four o'clock in the
morning the head of the young man
was reached, and a physician being
present, administered to him some
stimulant. At about nine o'clock
in the morning young Armenian was
relieved from his frightful and dang
erouS position and drawn out to
life and daylight again, having been
under ground ut that fearful depth
about twenty-five hours. So slight
were his injuries that he walked, un-
assisted, from the we'll to the he use.
II is escape from almost instantan-
eous death was indeed providential
and marvellous. In handling the
curbing at the bottom of the we'll he
had placed several pieces with one
end resting on projecting stone,
the other leaning against the opp
site side of the well, and at the
moment of the sand slide, lie hap
pened to be standing directly under
the friendly, though unconscious
shelter. One hand rested on the
side of the we'll; the other was
caught and held in a position by his
side. A space some two feet in eX-
tent about his head gave him a
chance to breathe. He must have
been unconscious during a large share
of the time, as when he was taken
out, he insisted that he had not
been down in the well more than
one hour.
1t might be proper to add that
Mr.. Armenian, the father, in recog-
milton of the kind aud earnest effort
of the men from Pine Island in saw
ing his boy, presented them each
with first class suit of clothes.
He also gave the faithful hired man
a clear title to eighty acres of land.

LMAN BURIED II A WELL.
Entombed for Twenty-Five ROurs
Got Ont Alive Without Serious
KHj ury.

A startling event, says the Ro-
chester (Towal Post, occurred at the
place of n. Henry Armenian, a
thrifty and well-to-do farmer, re-
siding about four miles north Of
Pine Island, in the edge of Goodhue
county. The particulars of this ex-
citing and thrilling affair were Civ
en- US by q responsible gentleman,
and are substantially rs follows
A we'll eightY-fye feet deep had
heen sunk on Mr.. Ahneman'S premi-
ses, and finding no water it had been
decided to abandon the well and fill
it up. From a point about forty
feet belo " the surface, curbing had
been used, on account OF the loose
and sandy character Of the earth.
On the morning in question a
young man. son of Mr.. Ahneman,
and the hired man, were engaged in
filling up the well and removing the
curbing, so it could be hauled up
and saved for other uses. Some fif-
teen feet OF the well had already
been filed, making the distance
from the top to where Armenian
was at work about seventy feet.
About eight o'clock thesand and
loose earth began falling, at point
some eight or ten feet above Ahne-
MANS head, and instantly he was
literally bu ried under eight feet of
solid wet earth.
at this time the hired man at the
top of the well, was the only man or
boy on the premises, Mr. Armenian,
the father, having gone to Pine Is
land on business. The hired man
sped to that village, and finding Mr..
Armenian, related to him the terrible
news. A number of men were soon
gathered on the scene Of the disas-
ter. No one supposed that the un.
fortunate man was alive; to bring
out the dead body for Christian
burial, it is thought, was all which
could be done, and arrangements
were made to that effect. 1t was de-
cided to sink new curbiug inside of
the old, and for this lumber had to
be drawn from Pine Island. In
tie heighth of excitement and utter
terror Of mind ami confusion of
ideas and plans, it was three O'Clock
in the afternoon before work was
commenced in the well.
The great difficulty was to find
men who were willing 90 risk their
lives in going down into the well.

the hired man, together with cou-

None Like Nln.

There are few mean men in De-
troit, but they came here from the
East, and as rHle they do not tar
ry long. The regular Datroiter is a
good man, and if he has a family he
is still better, as can be shown every
day in the week. At the Detroit &
Milwaukee depot yesterday as a
lady was about to get aboard the
train, she said to the min who
was loaded down with her par cells:
"Now, while Pm gone you must
take up and beat all the carpets and
lay them again."
"Of course" f" he replied.
"And polish all the windows, rub
off the furniture and repaint the
front steps"
81 will, dear
"And you must rake off the yard,
make some flower. beds, fix the alley
fence and black all the stoves before
you pack them away"
"Of course, dar ling" he smiled.
"And you must send me $50 per
week, write to me daily, and the
neigbbors will watch to see if you are
out after eight o'clock in the eve-
ming. Now, then, goodbye"
"Oh ] darling, how can 1 spare
you J" he sighed, the engine groan-
ed, and away she went, and as he
turned to go out his mental distress
was SO great that he fell over
trunk, barked his shins and rubbed
half the skin off his nose.

An exchange makes the follow
ing observations: Since the law al
lows every married woman 80 con-
troll her own money and property
she may have at the time of mar
riage, or that she may afterward &C.
quire by Inheritance, every married
woman should refuse to part with
her lawful right to own and control
her own means. There are thousands
of women in the land to-day who in
herited or otherwise acquired means
that would have been a help and a
blessing to them If kept under their
own control, but, which having been
lost or sqan dered by their husbands,
they are now in low circumstances
and even in destitHtion. a woman
should always keep control Of, or at
least a firm hold on her own money
or property, SO that If misfol tune
overtakes her husband she may have
something she can safely fdll back
on in her hour Of trail and tribula-
tion. We could point out a dozen
Of such unfortunate women in a
small circle, and such is the case all
over the land. With confidence in
their husbands during seeming pros
perity, they gave them every dollar,
Now neither has a dollar, and some
have families to rear at q time when
they can least afford it. We there
fore caution every woman in the
land not to part with the title to her
own money and property, but to
hold it in safe keeping for a rainy
day." We hope to see this article
in every newspaper i'll the land.

Fretting.,

Onefretter can destroy the peace OF
a afamily, can disturb the harmony
of neighborhood, can unsettle the
councils of cities, and hinder the leg
iSlation Of nations. lie who frets is
never the one who mends, who heals,
who repairs evils; more, he discour-
ages, enfeebles, and too often disa-
hles those around him, who, but for
the gloom and depression of his
company, would do good work and
keep up brave cheer. The effect
upon a sensitive person in the mere
neighborhood Of q fretter is inde-
scribable. 1t is TO the soul, what q
cold, icy mist is to the body-more
chilling than the bittereSt storm.
Aud when the fretter is one who is
beloved, then the misery of it be-
comes indeed insupportable.
