DIR. John Brown writes that he never
can forget an incident during the cholera
in 1882: "One morning a sailor came to
say l must go three miles down the river
to a village where it had broken out
with great fury. Of 1 set. We rowed
in silence down the dark river, passing
the huge hulks, and hearing the restless
convicts turning in their beds in their
chains. The men rowed with all their
might; they had too many dying or
dead at home to have the heart to speak
to me. We got near the place. 1t was
very dark, but 1 saw crowd OF men and
women on the shore at the landing place,
all shouting for the doctor. We were
near the shore, when 1 saw big, old
man. his hat of, his hair gray, his
head partIy bald. He said nothing, but
turning them all off with his arm, he
plunged into the sea, and before l knew
where he was he had me in his arms.
I was helpless as an infant. He waded
out with me, carrying me high up
in his left arm, and, with his right
leyelling every man orwoman who stood
in his way. It was Big Joe, carrying me
to see his grandson, little Joe. He bore
me off to the poor, convulsed boy, and
dared me to leave him till he was better.
He nd get better, but Big Joe was dead
that night. He had the disease on him
when he carried me away from the boat.
but his heart was set upon his boy. l
can never forget how terribly in earnest
he was"

-"DoEs HER OWN WoRK."-Does she
What of it? Is it any disgrace2 Is she
any less true woman, less worthy of
respect than she who sits in silk and
satin, and is vain of fingers that never
labor? We listened 10 this sneer few
days ago, and the tone in which it was
uttered betokened a narrow, selfish, ig-
noble mind, better fitted for any place
than country whose institutions rest on
honorable labor as one of the chief cor
ner-stones. 1t eyinced a false idea of
the true basis of society, of true woman
hood, of genuine nobility. It showed
the detestable spirit of caste, of rank,
which certain class are trying to estab-
lish-a caste whose sole foundation is
money, and SO the meanest kind of rank
known to civilization. Mind, manners,
morals, all that enters into a good char
acter, are of no account with these social
snobs; position in their stilted ranks is
bought with gold, and each additional
dollar is another round in the ladder by
which elevation is gained.

The motto Of the Telegraph is "1nde-
pendent in all things" The declarations
Of the Telegraph before The Republican
Convention made its ticket were in favor
of A. W. Stiles for Sheriff, but the Con-
vention nominated another man, and the
Telegraph is supporting him. Query
Ought not the motto Of the Telegraph to
be changed to read Independent in some
things, sometimesT STANDARD
All the bearings and assumptions of our
friend of the Standard harmonic with his
political connections and affiliations, and
smack Of the bFusque-the iearless-the
daredevil, and any one would be i'm
pressed, from his manner, that fear and
trembling never lurked under his jacket;
but when he met his old precepter in one
Of the by roads of Saybrook, on a rather
dark night, he played the pOltrOon and in
stead of taking the Devil by the horns, as
almost any subterranesn Democrat might
be supposed to do with impunity, ne took
a circuitous route, gave the old fellow the
widest berth possible and reaching the
house Of g Republican friend where his
safety could be assured, went to bed and
awaited Daylight for getting home.

A MoRTGAeE-In the whole range of
sacred and profane literature, perhaps
there is nothing recorded which has
such staying qualities as a good healthy
mortgage. A mortgage can be depended
upon to stick closer than a brother. 1t
has a mission to perform which never
lets up. Day after day it is right there,
nor does the slightest tendency to slum-
Der impair its vigor in the night. Night
and day, on the Sabbath, and at holiday
times, without moments time for rest
and recreation, the biting offspring of
its existence, interest goes on. The sea-
sons may change, days run into weeks,
weeks into months, and months may be
swallowed up into the gray man of ad-
vancing years, but that mortgage stands
up in sleepless vigilance, with the inter-
est, perennial stream eeaselessly run
ming on. Like huge nightmare eating
out of the sleep Of some restless slum-
berer, the unpaid mortgage rears up its
gaunt front in perpetual torment to the
miserable wight who is held within its
pitiless clutch. 1t holds the Door vic
Tins with the relentless grasp Of a giant;
not one hour of recreation, not mo-
ment's evasion of its hideous presence.
A genial savage of modifying aspect
while the interest is paid; very devil
of hopeless destruction when the pay
ments fail.

1t is perhaps q singular fact that in the
general-generous sympathy of the North
towards the suffering South, the first
carp or criticism comes from Demo
cratic quarter. The humane and sin
gle-eyed responses to the appeals for aid
for the stricken sufferers of the yellow fe-
yer scOurge is redeeming feature of hu-
manity. A criticism or croak has not been
heard from any quarter until the Dubuque
Democratic Telegraph expressed the opin-
ion that the request for blankets by New
Orleans was rather "thin," and made the
assertion that there were blankets enough
in that city. Didn't the Telegraph forget
that the bed clothes of every yellow fever
patient are burned? It takes big lot of
blankets to supply city full of dying peo-
pie under those circumstances. Let every
one give and give again in the name Of
common humanity. The money can be
sent by channels that will insure its prop
er use. Now is no time to cavil or eriticise.
Death and suffering must be met at least
with living sympathy and substantial
means Of relief.

Speaking of ill-favored eggs, the
Journal of Horticulture, London, remarks
that it is the result of one of two causes
either the food on which fowls are fed,
or the substance on which the eggs are
laid, and adds: This may be easily tested
by shutting up a laying hen and giving
her garlic or matted barley to eat. In a
few days the eggs will taste of the food.
We have tried this ourselves, and know
this to be correct. Another theory-but
we cannot speak Of it with the same
certainty-thatan an egg laid on any strong
smelling substance will contract it. This
is explained by the fact that the shell,
when the egg is first laid, is eompara-
lively soft and impressionable, and only
hard after contact with the atmosphere.
Let your birds be wholesomely fed on
plain food, and your nests be made
with clean straw. Hay nests have a
tendency to make eggs taste. Follow
nature and you will have nothing to
complain of.

TIE STAxDARD.-We notice that the
Standard has relish for designating the
President as the fraudulent President
Such matters Of taste, perhaps are not
worth serious criticism, for any effect that
may be produced, but for the dignity and
respect of a neighbor and contemporary
which represents all the character OF the
Democratic psrty of this county, and the
object of which would seem very naturally
TO be. to elevate its standing and enhance
,ne its responsibility, these indications Of
nattv rsncor-indulging in charges which
have no foundation in proof or even COM
mon fairness, are unworthy of full-sized
and fully developed men or even politicians.
The leading Democrats of the SOuth-men
who have been foremost in giving keenness
to party ssperity, and who are really the
masters of both southern and northern
Democracy, have shaken hands with the
President, and smoked the pipe OF peace,
and speak Of, and treat him with respect
and deferenee-and when these men-such
as Hamburg Butler, whose Democracy can
not be questioned any mere than his vir-
tues and moral worth-hob-nob and do
obeisepce to this fraudulent President,
does it no. look as if the Democracy of our
cotemporary was rather of the shriveled
and dwarfsh kind in indulging in these
epithets of approbium? As a neighbor,
whose type of character has some reflex
influence upon his compeers and upon the
county Democracy, our preference would
be to see the Standard, the champion of 8
strudy, full-grown and fully-developed
manly Democracy, graphing with political
principles, and discussing the differences
between parties with a consciousness Of
their Importance, and especially with a
constant recognition Of self respect and
personal dignity and honor. Shall We con-
tinue to be disappointed in these wishes
and hJpes? and viii the gentleman that
we have been pleased to introduce as the
typical ''Cincinnatus, called from the
plow and the soil to dignity the State and
the editorial tripod, continue in the in
diligence Of censorious adjectiYes, unmanly
pettifogging and cunningfy devised and
mousing stories to gain small points, and
cater to the lower and more debased tastes
and appetites Of the party2 Alas for bet
ter and more manly type of Democracy!

Since Gen. Shermsn's son Thomas Joined
the society of the Jesuits, against his faith
er's protest, but with the encouragement
Of his mother, it is said the Gen. and Mrs.
Sherman have not met. When Gen.
Sherman showed so much feeling over the
course Of his son, and reproached his wife
and her Catholic friends 50 bitterly for rob
bing him of his favorite son, Mrs. Sher-
man, as the story goes, changed her plans,
and has now determined to live with her
husband hereafter, and give up her reEg-
ious labors. She has therefore rented her
house in St. Louis, and upon the Generals
return will take up her residence in Wash

The times ought to be better now than
in 1851, when the Republicans came into
power. Then the Government was paying
interest on its Indebtedness at the rate of
II per cent. and now it is selling easily and
rapidly Its bonds bearing only per cent.
That isa plain simple fact, and rather a
significant one that almost any one can
understand and appreciate. Bloated bond
holders are not doing as well now as then.

that shillIng's failure has nothing typical

1t is difficult to say what constitutes
the beauty of a woman. The Sandwich
Islanders estimate women by their
weight. The Chinese require them to
have deformed feet and black teeth. A
gin must be tattooed sky-blue and wear
a nose-ring, to satisfy a South Sea
Islander. African princes require their
brides to have their teeth fled like those
of saw. And thus goes the world, the
criterion of beauty differing according
to latitude and longitude.

The Standard seems greatly jubilant
over the wonderful Democratic victory in
Maine. We are strongly of the opinion that
another such victory would leave only that
class left Of their party that the great
standard bearer, Father Horace, once said

gamblers, drunkards, etc., etc. As their
vote is this year more than 1900 less than
last, viii the Standard tell us how?
