An Attemnt TO Steal q Dwarf.

As the Union Pacific west-bound pass
enger train stopped at Cozad, in west
ern Nebraska, on Thursday, September
18th, a bold attempt was made to steal
Commodore Mutt, who was on his way
to San Francisco with party OF other
dwarfs. A couple Of stalwart and kuav.
disappearing men, who took the train
at Omaha and had tickets to CoZad,
paying extra charge for riding in the
sleeper, are supposed to be the parties
! to the affair. Just before the train ar
. rived at the station both of these mon
one a few feet ahead Of tho other
moved toward tho rear Of the car, in
which end the commodore was sleeping.
One stopped near the door As the
train came to halt the rear man thrust
his arms into Nuts berth and gathered
him up in his arms, and moved hastily
toward the door Of the car, which had
been opened by his confederate The
dwarf struggled and tried to scream, but
the would-be- kidnapper held his hand
over the little fellows mouth IN such
way as to almost stihe every sound
The porter, however, screamed for him.

The villain dealt the hall asleep passen,

The Eddystonc lighthouse, which in
its day WAS regarded rs one Of the great
est engineering fcats in the world, is
threatened with destruction. 1t seems
that the rock, on which it stands Is act
ualy wearing away by the action OF the
waves, so that it will be necessary to
take down the great work Of .Smeaton
to prevent its being speedily dctroyed.
The Eddystonc rocks form dangerous
reef in the English Channel about nine
miles from the Cornish coast
From the number Of shipwrecks that
took place on these rocks lighthouse
was erected on them in 1896. The ar.
chitect was Mr.. Winstanloy, who had
so much confidence in his work that he
determined to stand inside of it during
a terrible storm. The next morning
lighthouse and architect had disap.
peared. In 1909 another lighthouse
was erected By Mr.. Rldgcrt. This
structure was destroyed by fire in 1855.
The present lighthouse was commenced
in 1857 and finished in 1859. 1t was
designed by Dir. Smeaton, who took his
idea, it is said, from tho form Of an oak
tree.

has been, worse ten thousand times than an honorable defeat.
 It should go on record that the awarding of the presidency to Mir Hayes is regarded by the Ameri- can people IS fraud and disgrace. Let the people through their leg islatures send up their protests against this great wrong, and let it be regarded as the crowning in fanny of this age that the will of the people has been defeated by corruption and fraud. Let not the consnmation be effected with the silent approval of the people. Let the people purge themselves of this great national scandal ard fix it upon the guilty wretches where it belongs.
 Wherever virtue, decency and truth controls the legislatures of the States, there should be adopt ed solemn protests against this na tional returning board infamy.

The PrOdigal.

Inheritors of vast wealth are pros verbally spendthrifts. The golden ore is dug from the mine, refined, and coined, by the labor of other hands and the sweat of other brows. Like children playing with an ex- pensive toy, they can form no just estimate of its value. When the donor weighed It, he cast into the balance so many anxious and sleep- less nights, so much self-denial, and so much care. But the inheritor into hi, balance throws only-pleas- ure. The one, values it by what it cost him; the other, for what it will purchase. Like the prodigal in the Scripture parable, he thoughtlessly eXpends 1t to gratify the caprice and | cravings of his nature. Then comes the last scene the misery, the re- morse, and the long and wearisome journey back to the home of frugal industry. But there are other prod igals. On her favorites our bounte- ous parent, Nature, has lavished her richest treasure--health. But the prodigal values it lightly, for it cost him naught, and recklessly span uNis it III itotouo liNliS' aSeNhb pleasure obscures future want. Soon the curtain rises on the liET scene. We see him helpless, imp0v- erished,- the rich treasures Of body and mino Sll lost y-~eiiT misery and despair. Remorsefnl conscience holds up 10 him the mirror of mem ory. In his own reckless folly he perceiycs the cause Of his present pain. He resolves to return. The journey is long and tedious, but if he perseveringly follows the right road, he will at length see the haven of his hopes in the distance, and Nature. seeming her invalid child afar off, will come out to meet him, and receive him back with love and blessing. To find the right road homeward, the suffering prodigal should read ''The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser" Therein it is completely mapped out, it's landmarks all indicated and it's milestones all numbered.

CARD FROM DIR. MCGUIRE.
To OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS. DARDANELLE, ARKANSAS,
 February 10th. 1877.|

Our entire office, type, presses and material, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 10th of February, and myself very badly injured by a fall, while fighting the fire, from which I am now confined to my bed. Years of hard labor has thus been lost in but few moments; but, if all our patrons and friends will stand by us, we will resume publication with but little delay, and shall faithfully carry out all contracts that have heretofore been made.
 We hope all our friends will send us at least one new name and $2, the price of subscription for one year. We would also be glad if all our friends who are in busi- ness, would give us small adver tisement and make us a small cash advance. This will enable us to procure new material to re- snme with.
 We will feel very much gratitied if all our exchanges will continue us on their list and give us such favorable notice as they feel jasti- fled in doing. Respectfully,
 NJ. M. MCGUIRE, Editor and Proprietor, "lndepend

--CAN WE STAND IT.--'Ihe Com mittee representing the holders of 8 considerable portion of the bonds of this State have submit ted proposition for settlement on the basis of fifty cents on the dollar for the new funded six per cent. bonds; thirty five cents for the railroad aid bonds, and fifteen cents for the levee bonds. Gov. Miller don't recommend the state 8 acceptance of this offer. He thinks the bond holders must come down to lower figures,--say fifty cents for the six per cent. bonds; twenty-five for the railroad bonds and ten cents for levee bonds. Just why Gov. Miller should intimate that settlement could be effected at these figures, ana why the state should pay any such will be more than the aver age taxpayer can understand when we tell them that these bonds are now selling in the New York markets at far less figures say twenty-seven to thir'y cents for six per. cent. bonds, nine cents for railroad bonds and seven c-nts for levee bonds. Why should the State now undertake to buy in these bonds at over fifty per cent. more than the holders value them at?
 WHAT would the people of this community think of their circuit judge if a case should come before him wherein his brother and some stranger were lltigants, and he should rule out all evl- dence and all witnesses of the stranger and give a decision bas ed solely upon the evidence of his brothers witnesses? What would they think of him if he should accept the evidence of his brothers witnesses when it was notorious that their reputation for veracity and honesty was de cidedly bad, and refuse to allow the stranger to introduce any re- putting testimony. or any witness es to impeach the testimony of his brothers witnesses? What would they think if in the face of

The bill provides that the differ ent county papers in the State shall be kept on file in each coun- ty clerk office and in the office of Secretary of State, and that each volume shall be bound in good and substantial shape for preservation, and shall become a part of the public records. There is sound business sense about this, and the value of the files will be not inconsiderable. Aside from their value as a permanent and convenient preservation of all legal advertisements, the value of the files as part of the current history of the different counties will be immense. We trust this measure will be promptly enacted into Q law.

Letter from Iowa.

Iowa CITY, Iowa, Feb. 12, ". Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Hearing from Russellville occa sionally through the DEMOCRAT ana other sources, l have observ ed statements like this: "Delight fnl weather" Pleasant weather,' J &c. Let us compare notes.
 From the middle of November to the lst of February we had very cold weather. No thaw du- ring that entire time. An icicle might have been suspended by a string in sunny place, during the two and a half fmonths referred to, and not find heat enough to melt it out of the string. The frost has penetrated the earth for the distance of four feet in expos ed places-on an average, about three and a half feet. We are having pleasans weather TOW, the people say. and for those who like mud it is very pleasant.
 Our distri t Court adjourned last week after session of five weeks. Among the many curious cases that the court was called upon to decide was one that is at tracting considerable attention at present. The facts are as follows !; In February 1875, meteor of un- usual brilliancy was observed and was known to have fallen in Iowa county. Small fragments had been found in the vicinity of the farm of the Amana society. In June 1875 6 workman on the farm os the Amana society plowed the stone out of the earth where it had buried itself by the fall, and de- posted it on a road crossing the farm. Henry Maas while cross ing this farm saw the stone and knew it to be a meteor. He car ried it to store in the neighbar- hood and there deposited it, say. ing that he would return and get it. Before his return 1t was claim- ed and taken by the Amana socie- ty. Maas brings suit for the re- covery.
 enclose q short sketch of the proceedings clipped from the Iowa City Republican, thinking 1t might interest some of your read CTS. Yours, G. B. II.

THE PRESIDENCY.

When the Electoral Commits sion was agreed upon as the means of deciding the presidency new thrill of hope sped through the country and tEe troubled ap- prehensions of fevereG populace were quieted and luiled into peace. The hope was that in any event, no matter to which of the aspi- rants to the presidency the decis- ion might bring success, and no matter to which of them it might bring defeat, t,--the hope was that the decision would give the coun- try a president who would and could succeed to the office of chief magistrate without any taint of fraud or corruption befouling and and besmirching his title thereto The hope was that the whole question would be handled so fairly, that in the consideration and final disposition of every point and matter submitted to the arbitrament of the Commis- sion there would be such q full and candid and conscientious ex- animation into the merits, justice and truth thereof, and an award so clearly based upon right anu so securely founded upon justice, and that Q sense of the high duty deyolving upon each member of the Commission would be so keenly felt leaving every word and every act so free from parti- san bias, that the ultimate result of the whole matter would be accepted without the slightest i conscientious qualm on the part of the forty millions of people who are to be effected thereby. The hope was that no matter which of the two great politica. parties should furnish the man to whom the title to the presidency should be awarded, his title would be so clearly established by such full and candid review of the ale ged frauds in the three South
 ern States, on the one side as on the other, that the American people would be spared the dis grace and humiliation of doing homage to q ruler born of fraud and installed into office agianst the will of people claiming to be free and enlightened,
 lhese hopes nave all been blasted. The proceedings of last Fridays session of the Commis- sion have sounded the death knell to all such hopes and aspirations. The country may now put on sack cloth and ashes, and bow her head in disgrace, for the in- fanny of placing an occupant in the presidential chair against the will of the people is now evident ly determined upon. The infamy of counting out the man whom the peopls have elected, and
