The election in this place on Mon
day last was the q~uietest IL we have
noticed for a long time. A very light
vote was polled, because nobody SEEM
ed to take any interest in it. except
the old chronic office-seekers, and
they had it all their own way. Our
county is safe as long as they can
manage to suck at these small teats.
Heretofore the voters ofthis Corpor-
alton dropped party allegiance, bat
upon this occasion the Republicans
pat a clean ticket in the field and
voted unanimously for it, while the
Democrats divided their votes with
out respect to party, and didn't get a
single officer. 1t is all right, ofcourse,
but such party pusillanimity among
neighbors in a small community of
the size of Eaton, shows the "true in
wardness" of the individuals who
want to govern us. 1t is not the kind
of liberal feeling that is calculated to
build a town and make it a pleasant
habitation for strangers to seek after.
1t is to be hoped, however, good may
come out of it. The following are

Coed from Evtl

There is a vast deal of truth in
the following, written by some de-
scendant of Adam, with whose To-
cality and title we are not familiar:
Our strength grows out of our
weakness. Not until we are pricked
and Stung and sorely shot at
awakens the indignation which
arms itself with secret forces. A
great man is always willing to be
little. While he sits on the cush-
ion of advantages he goes so sleep.
When he is pushed, tormented,
defeated, he has a chance to learn
something; he has been put on his
wits, his manhood; he has gained
facts; learns his ignorance; is cured
OF the insanity of cOnceit; has got
moderation and real skill. The
wise man always throws himself on
the side of his assailants. 1t is
more his interest than it is theirs
to lind out his weak point. The
wound ~cicatrizes and falls off from
him like a dead skin, and when he
would triumph, 10! he has passed
on invulnerable. Blame is safer
than praise. As long as all is said
AGAINST me feel pertain aesuranca
of success. But as soon as honeyed
words of praise are spoken of me, l
feel as one that lies unprotected be-
fore his enemies. In general, every
evil to which we do not succumb is
a benefactor. AS the Sandwich
Islander believes that the strength
and valor of the enemy he kills
passes into himself, SO we gain the
strength of the temptation we resist.

suade himself that be might vote fol
thirty-three and one-third cents. but say
ing down with the man who says thir.
ty-three and two-third cents. AS between
Porter and Savage there seems to be
no chance for a happy average. This
extra session will cost the people at least
fifteen thousand dsllars, and amount to
nothing unless the present rate of taxa
ton is multiplied BY seven. That is the
issue as presented in Governor Porter's
proclamation. We would say this; If
the bondholders will take fifty cents on
the dollar and graduate the rate of inter-
est, say at three per cent. for the first
four years, four per cent. for the next
four and Eve per cent ever after, with the
privilege of calling in the bonds at any
time when a specified sinking fund &C.
crues, just az the. government calls in
FIVE twenties at its pleasure, we believe
the people would ratify such an arrange
ment to get rid of the question, take it
out of politics and forever dispose of this
fruitful cause of agitation. The present
legislature cannot aud would not be
likely to do anything of the kind.

The Turks retreated to an ~intrenched

Late advices from El:Paso say it is now
believed that there we're a number of
emissaries Of Lerdo's in the band of
Mexicans which crossed the Rio Grande
about two weeks ago. and had a fight
with the Indians on Texas soil. While
.ostensibly following the Indians, there
seems to be no doubt that the real object
of these Lerdoists is to stir up a new

This is one of Mark Twain's
latest:
Among other talk to-day it came
out that whale ships carry no doc
tor. The captain adds the doctor
ship to his own duties. Henot only
gives medicine, but sets broken
limbs after notions of his own or
saws them off and sears the stump
when amputation seems best. The
captain is provided with a medicine
chest, with the medicine numbered
instead of named. A book of di-
rections goes with this 1t de-
Scribes diseases and symptoms, and
says:
"Give a teaspoonful of No. 8
once an hour" or "give ten grains
of No. IL every half hour" etc.
One of our sea captains came across
a skipper in the North Pacific who
was in a state of great surprise and
pcrplexity. He said:
"There's something rotten about
this medicine chest business. One
of my men was sick-nothing much
the matter. l looked in the book;
it said give him a teaspoonful of
No. 10. l went to the medicine
chest, and l see l was out of No.
10. | judged I'd got to get up a
combination somehow that would
fill the bill, so | hove into the fell
low half a teaspoonful of No. Y,
and I'll be hanged if it didn't kill
the fellow in fifteen minutes.
There's something about this medi-
cine chest system that's too many
for me-"
