A PEW INCIDENTS OF AN EvESrruL LIFE.


A FEW INCIDENTS OF AN EvENrruL LIFE
Any man who has lived in this sub
lunary sphere, ever since tho year 1892
and been at oil active in the pursuit o.
knowledge or fame or wealth, or even
living, must Of necessity have had
very many interesting experiences
Think OF it-away back to the year oil
our Lord 1899 is long time ago
almost a century. Washington was
then President and lived eight year,
after this, until 1900. At that distant
day, history tells us, there were thir.
teen little States in this now glorious
Union Of thirty.eight. These States
were somewhere away East of us. We
have no doubt Judge Gillis could locate
them If II were necessary, but they
were not far from our Atlantic coast.
II was in ono Of these namely, New
York-where James l.. Gillis FIRST saw
the light of day. In this State "hc
lived and loved and saw Niagara" /"
until the year 1922, when be removed
to Jefferson county, Penn'a. This was
not the far West, but II was some ways
South Of New York, but as spasely
settled as arc our Western plains or
mountain ranges Of the present day,
and probably a. wild country then as

Judge Gillis has now nine children
living, only two Of them living at
Mount Pleasant, namely, Robert S. and
Charles B. Glllis. One daughter re.
sides in tho State Of New York, one in
Pennsylvania, one in Detroit, Mich,
and ono in Beardstown, III. One ron

The Judge, despite his great age, is
at present in the enjoyment Of good
health and spirits, and hardly looks to
DO over CO. That he may yet live to
vote for several more Democratic
Presidential candidates, and see them
safely installed INTO office is the sincere
wish OF his many friends.

AN ELECTION DECISION.


Judge BUggs, Of Armstrong county,
recently gave decision in an election
case that Possesses general interest.
In Washington township, that county,
the Republican Inspector had appoint.
cd the Judge and two Clerkr, all Re-
publlcans. He had also sworn these
officers, Notwithstanding the require.
ments Of tho law, that the Judge, ut
tast, shall be sworn by the minority
Inspector. A iurtber objection was
presented that the ballot.box had not
been sealed, and had been lett in the
custodyof an unauthorized person from
Tuesday night until Friday morning
The objections were presented aud
argued by Il. 5. Golden aud John Gil.
pm, Esq. RS, while the election officers
were represented by Hon. J. V. Pain
ter, J. II Mccain and David Barclay.
Ailcr u illl hearing Inc objections were
overrulcd, and the Court directed the
returns 10 be counted.
Judge Boggs held that while the ap-
poiniment Uf election officers was lrreg-
ular, and against the provision OF the
law, yet inasmuch as they had taken
upon themselves the duties oi the Rev,
cral appointments, had held the elcc-
ton, aud no objection had been M dc,
aud us no claim Oi fraud or unfair
means had been set up or proven, he
was unwilling 10 Say that the mere iacl
OF irregularty, and even lllegalny IN
the constitution OF the Board should 50
Tar villate the election as to make il
null and VOID.
The count was therefore proceeded
with, and the result in the county will
be US heretofore stated-tbe election

For mo the end has come and am dead,
And little voluble, ohatteripg DAVIS of men
Peck at me curiously let it then be said
By some one brave enough to speak the truth
Here lies great soul killed by cruel wrong.
Down all the balmy days of his fresh youth
To his bleak, desolate noon, with sword and
song
And speech that rushed up hotly from the
heart,
He wrought for liberty; till his own wound
(He had been stabbed), concealed 9TH painful
art
Through wasting years, mastd him and
he swooned
And sank there where you see him lying now
With that word Failure" written on his
brow.

Daily by those high angels who assuage
Tho thirstipgs OF tho poets for he was
Born unto singing-and burden lay
Nightly on him, and he molned because
He could not rightly utter to this day
What God taught in the night. Sometimes,

Power fell upon him, and bright tongues Of
flame,
And blessioes reached him from poor souls in
stress,
And bsned ctions from black bits of shame
Aud little chillr~n's 1--we and old mems pray

And Greas Hand that led him unawares.
So he died rich. And if his eyes were blurred
With thick 6lms-silence he is in his grave.
Greatly he suffered; greatly, too he erred,
Yet broke his heart in trying to be brave.
Nor did he wait till freedom had become

But smote for her when God Himself seemed

An AIIIgatOr's TIdblts.

Aligators must have singular habits,
remarks New York paper, judging
from one recently killed in one of the
rivers of Florida. Having been dissectN
ed, there were found in his stomach two
gar fish, each three feet long, six flint
stones worn smooth as glass, two cy-
press knees, four pine knots, two frag-
ments of bricks, several yards OF cot
ton cloth, two volumes OF public docu-
ments and a small hand-saw. We can
understand why he might have been
hungry for fint-stones, hand-saws, cy-
press knees and pine knots, but how he
could have bolted the public documents
passes comprehension. A whale, lately
on exhibition in Cincinnati, proved. to
have swallowed a broken beer bottle,
the bottoms of two glass tumblers, an
old boot, a screw-driver, a discarded
waistcoat and three or four jack knives.
But these are presumed to have inter
fered so seriously with his digestion as
to cause his premature demise. An
autopsy was held 10 determine the
cause of his death, which is no longer
a mystery. 1t is thought that num-
Der of Cincinnatians, Ignorant of nat
ural history, fed him with the articles
mentioned, under the impression that
the huge fish regarded them as delica'
cies. They should remember hereafter
that both Ouvier and Button say that
