stunned by nearly everyone until AnaA+

to marry again, and offered 5000 to any
ono who would furnish him wife. The
announcement created some little merri.
Enenr at tile time, but nothing further was

One F. S. Taylor and others are travel
ing through the country, swindling the
farmers with new dodge. They arc sci.
ling a wire cloth tor sievcs for tanning
mills. Their mode of operation is to go
to farmer, offer to sell him the sieves and
deliver the goods at $3.50 per sets of three,
telling the parties they shall have exclusive
right of the county, to sell, and that they
can readily dispose Of ten or fiften sets at
$500 set. In payment they take the
victims note, payable in 30, GO, or 50 days,
just as they Can get it, at the same time
giving the purchaser a contract agreeing
to take back all sievcs that may he on
hand at the time the note natures al the
agents first cost, which amounts to about
40 cents each. He also states in the con-
tract ~ that it is no patent right, clearing
himself from any breach Of law IN selling
two persons the same territory. So soon
~ the sharpers take in one party they 60
to another and make the same trade. They
Immediately take the notes to some bank

posing them in advance.

SIGNIFICANT.


II should be remembered that in oil the
long struggle for the Presidency no promi'
nent Republican has ever made threat
either TO assassinatc or to so to war; in
case the decision should he adverse to the
interests of his party, while on the other
hama AT increasing effort has been put
forth 10 coercc compliance with Demo.
cratic demands through the operation Of
,n,imidating announcements and revolu'
,ionary pretenses. This is the difference
between the two parties. One abides by
the law, the other dcfes it. One regards
~ sacred The formulated expression Of the
peoples will; the other desires the success
Of its own schemes regardless either Ut
the interests or the wishes ofthe majority
One seeks the good Of the many, the other
Of the few. One seeks power for protect
ion, the other for plumber. Ono would
govern in the interest Of the people, the
other would rule only for themselves.
These are not random comparisons-they
are recognized facts, and unless they are
taken into account in the management Of
the affairs Of this nation. the boosted
American Republic will be short lived.
Tic contingencies growing out Of the re-
cent election have served to impart les
son which the masses will heed, and We
shall hereafter achieve results so emphat-
ically decisive Of the public will as to leave
no room either for doubt or dispute. We
do not properly estimate our privileges
until VIC see them put in jepordy. Then
We realize their value. Impending danger
10 the only antidote to absolute stoicism.
Patriotism is aroused by fear.

Dent You 10 to tho Black nuls.

Milton, Wis.,, Letter to the Chicago Tunes:
MI. Argie, gentleman who is visiting
relatives In this village and who has been
mining in the Black Hills, was interview.
ed by our correspondent today. Mr.
Argie is . well informed man and has
spent the last ten years Of his life in the
mines of Montana and the Black Hills,
going to the latter region last season. He
advises men not 10 60 out into that country
this spring, and especially men without
capital, for the following reasons:
The territory where placer mining pays
is quite limited in areas, and is all claimed
that shows "color.' The inhabitants as
class, are old experienced miners, and
the "pilgrim" stands q poor show. Wages
are low. hardships innumerable. the neccs-
saries Of iifo arc very high in price, and
tho country tuil to OVERLOOKING. He says
the country is all staked out and no op:
portunity open to secure paying ground,
except by purchasing. Quarts leads show
very rich and are we'll defined and traced
on the surface, but he thinks that the
shafts at their present depth do not prove
anywhere near the. value which many
spectators are claiming. The statements
Of Mr.. Argyle can be depended on as true
and uninterested. " e.. = =.

The TWO.Scxe1-

have 10 manner Of sympathy with the
eaekle and clatter VIC sometimes hear
about the relative exccllences Of the two
sexes, about the superiority Of one or the
inferiority Of the other. 10 me the idea
that woman wants only "clear stage
and no favor" wants training and educa-
ton and suitable circumstances, in order
to develop a. big brain and as vigorous
a muscle as man, and soto be able to
cope with him in the struggle Of lifc,. 10
me SUCH thought is utterly repulsivc.
The great charm Of . woman. 10 that she
is diverse from man; not a man In lower
stage Of development. She is the com.
PIGMENT Of the man; her nature, her dis
position, her powers supply what Is lack
ing in his. The two together make .
complete orb; apart, they are only seq
ments of a circle But, in order to stand
in this relation to each other, it is obvious
that they must not be alike. but diverse.
Most improbable and unmannerly to me
is that discussion about superiority. I
would as soon think Of contending with
you which, was tho most beautiful flower,
the rose or the lilly; which YVES the more
essential to the life of the human frame,
the brain or the heart; which was more
to the world, the glare of the day
or tho darkness and silence of the night;
which did more for the movement and
security Of the planetary system, the cen.
tripetal or the centrifugal force. Common
sense tells US that both are necessary, that
each is admirable in its place, and that
the one was contrived for the express pur.
pose Of being an adjunct and an auxiliary
to the osler.-Rcv. Gordon Calthrop.

A CONTINGENCY.

As We said last week there seems to he
. disposition on the part Of the Demo
Gratis to prevent the consummation of the
electoral count until after the fourth Of
March, with view to preventing the ill.,
anguration Of Governor Hayes. 1t is
possible that the better elements of the
party will not consent TO such trickery,
but We cannot forcsee what may transpire.
II such a result seems imminent it is not
improbable that President Grant will re-
Sign his Office on the Sd of March, in
which event the President of the Senate
will become President, of the Uni.
ted States, and hold the place I'M.

We 20 to press to day without being able
20 state whether President of the United
States will be inauguratcd or not on Mon
day next. There remain yet four more
States to count before tue work will be
consummatcd, and abou. ninety Of the
Democrats are dong all in their power to
prolons the delay until it shall prove an
effcctual bar to the inauguration of Gov.
Hayes. It does not seen, possible for them
to perpetrate so gigantic fraud, but so
far as the will is concerned q certain class
Of the Democratic leaders can do any
thing, no matter how mean. The prevail
ent feeling in Washington aud throughout
the whole country is IN favor of speedy
and quiet submission to the destiny that
has thrice named Hayes for the high
Office Of Chief Magistrate, and it seems
probable Notwithstanding the fierce op-
position that the federal msglstracy will
be pSaccably transferred on the ff>h Of

A singular thing happened to a horse
belonging to John Luhert, of Lake Wash.
ington, a few weeks ago. The horse had
a lame foot last summer and was not used
until late in the fall, when Dlr. Luhert
brought him to town and had him shod.
His lameness continued, and lie was shod
again in December. In driving him home
he at first appeared little lame, but had
pretty much recovered before reaching the
Lake. Soon after arriving home all four
of his hoofs actually dropped of, and Mr..
Luhert shot him the next morning to re-:
lieve him Of misery. Our informant is
