LIFE in the Democratic camp in Ohio
must be almost a. uncomfortable A. a
~sojourn in the internal regions withou,
a fan. The chief occupation Of the in.
habitants seems to be the stabbiug Of
each other in the back. Mr.. Psndlston
has had . good deal Of this kind Of treat
ment. and he ia suffering from it at
present worse than ever. lie conducted
the recent canvass in his w interest.
intending 10 be sent to the Senate. but
be ovsrdid the job. and secured too
large a party majority in the Legislature.
The result is a general combination Of
all his rivals to defeat him. The prin-
cipal organ Of the party. the Cincinnati
Eaquirer. is doing powerful service
against him. and his prospects are not
at all brilliant. To a man who has been
such n pet in his party. this treatment
seems most ungrateiul and harsh.

SUCCESSOR.

At noon on Monday next the regular
session OF the Forty.fith Congress
begins. At the same hour the Demo
cratic Legislature Of California assem-
blcs in Sacramento to elect q successor
to Aaron A. Sargent in the United States
Senate. There are several aspirants to
this position. but II is now admitted that
the race is practically narrowed down to
James T. Farley Of Amador county and
Mark L. Mcdonald Of San Francisco.
The first proposes to buy his seat with
the money OF the Central Pacific Rail-
road ; the latter will use for the pur'
chase the coin out Of which he has
sxindlsd poor stockholders since last
Spring. Whichever wins. the ''rsform-
ing" pure Democrats Of the Legisla-
ture will leave Sacramento with their
pockets well lined with the coin OF cor
ruption. To the nation ii matters little
who succeeds Sargent. lie will DO a
Democrat anyway. and thsrs is not
much choice among the lot Of them.

A RELIC OF THE PAST.
The Oldest Church in the United states-its
History.

Isle of Wight county, Virginia, has the
honor Of having within its limits the oldest
chnrch in the United States. It is ST.
Luke's and stands not very far from the
main road from Springfield, about twenty
| miles from Norfolk. 1t was erected in
1922, of bricks imported from England.
In 1862 it received its denominational name.
The Rev. Mr. Faulkner was one of it's first
pastors, and there are records that show he
was In charge as late as 1744. All the mate
rial OF the church was imported, even to the
lime and woodwork. The timber is of
English oak, and was framed previous to
shipment. Where it has not been exposed
too much to the elements it is perfectly
sound, while the mortar is so hard that
steel brought in sudden contact with it pro-
duces sparks. On the eastern side there is
window twenty feet high Of stained glass
representing Scripture subjects. The pill
lars-Which strengthen the walls, are wide
at the base and taPsG taEa1d ad tbf a5us
shrubs and vines and even small trees have
rooted themseles therein. In 1877, or 105
years after it was built, it was given
new roof of shingles, and in 1897 it re-
ceived it's third covering, An effort is
now being made to raise means to repair
the old church, and it is to be hoped that
the laudible enterprise will meet with the
greatest uccess.-HGrper's Weekly.

The Cry Of " Deai-Hsais.

In a long article on journalism and Re-
porters, the n. Y. EOeniasg Mail says thus:
'sIt is the people and not the journalists
who are dead heads In case anything
more serious than stubbing the toe befalls
a man, he hastens to the nearest newspaper
and demands that the editor shall WELD
the pen and shed ink in his vindication or
defense. And if the jaded editor does not
with alacrity espouse the cause of his pat
rom he viii make an enemy for life. MEM
bers of the press are literally hunted down
by all sorts of people who have axes to
grind. The managers of public meeting
who do not find the reporters at the table,
suffer stings of disappointment the judge,
who sonorously blows his nose before read
ing his opinion, looks anxiously for the
stenographers the preacher who descants
upon some special subject loses spirit if the
representatives of the press are not there ;
even the burglar on the way to The State
prison coyets talk with the newspaper
man. Yet the outside barbarian thinks all
newspaper men are dead heads, and envies
them the fine times they have in the way OF
free dinners and free tickets to all manner
of shows. There never was a greater mis-
take. People do not seem to realize that,
on the part of the journalist, it is merely .
matter of business that the reporter goes
| to these places, so attractive to outsiders,
much as the horse goes to the piow-be
| he must do 80. We venture to say thai
four-fifth OF these entertainments are t6
/ journalists intolerable bores. The press il
the victim Of the publicss rapacious ani
unceasing demand for services without pay,
Let us have the boot on the right leg.

Railroads.

The Railoeag Age of Chicago, IN an elab-
crate review of changes in railway condi-
tion during 1876, presents some gloomy
facts. 1t gives list of 10 roads which de-
faulted during that year, and these opera
ted 2,757 miles of road, and their stock and
were of the nominal value of 1856, ,661, 600.
1t also gives list of As roads which either
passed into the hands of receivers during
the year, or against which proceedings for
foreclosure were commenced. These ope-
rated 1876 miles of road, and their stock
and bonds were of the nominal value of
S538, ,OO0,O Finally, 30 roads were sold
under foreclosure during the Year, and
these operated 3,848 miles, and their stock
and bonds represented $217, 1000. One
stage and another in the dark and down
ward road toward bankruptcy was reached,
during single year, by sc corporations,
operating IA, 179 miles of road, about one
fifth OF the whole railway mileage in the
country, and having nominal capital In
vested of $912,5O9, 900, nearly one-fifth OF
all the capital nominally invested IN rail
ways in the United States.

GOVERNMENT GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Plans tor the Coming Years worz.

Plans for the coming seasons exploration
Dy Professor Hayden's Geological survey
nave all been arranged, except as to minute
details. The work will be conducted dur
ing tne coming year north of the Union
racine railroad, commencing on,the fortieth
parallel explored by Clarence King and con-
tinue north and west in the Territories of
Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. The CORDS
WILL be arranged in five divisions. First.
on manipulating, the party will be under
the direction of A. D. Wilson, who will
carry forward the system of primary TITAN
gles IN the same manner as they are en-
ployed IN Colorado, and all the higher peaks
Will be located in this way. The Western
typographical division will be in charge of
OF Henry Garrett, who will explore that
region of country from Ogden eastward
and northward. The eastern division will
be directed by George B. Chittenden. This
9aES viii explore the country along the
ern division will be under the charge Of e.
B. Becker and will occupy the country
about the sources of Snake river and along
the borders of the Yellowstone and the
National Park. 1t is intended to have the
party reach the field by the 10Th of May,
where they will remain about five months.
Each division of the survey will cover an
area of about 10000 square miles. The
region to be worked and mapped this year
is but little known geographically, and it is
work will add much to our geographical
knowledge of the Rocky Mountains region.
