State Elections to Date.

Oregon was carried by the Demo crats and gained a Congressman there
 Vermont was carried by the Repub licans. Of her three Congressmen but two were chosen anl they Repub licans. At the new election for the third, the G:eenhackers seem to have the best show of success. In Maine, there were straight Repub lican, Democratic and Greenback tick, cts. The Republicans had a large plurality, but not a majority over both opponents, therefore the election Oi State officers goes into the legislature where the Greenbackers can give iht election to either party, or vice versa The Republicans have elected three and the Greenbackers two Congress men.
 In Colorado, the Republicans car ried their whole State ticket and elect ed thelr Congressman by large major ity.

Another Political Meeting.


 A large meeting was held at the Courthouse last evening, gotten up as we are informed, by the special opPo- nent of s. W. Carpenter for county re- corder, and resulted in a most emphatic {" sit down" on that self-appOinted guardian of public affairs in Pima county. The candidates put in nom ination were Messrs. A. D. Otis, Claude Anderson and s. W. Carpenter and the latter was chosen by large majority.
 It is quite probable that neither oi the other candidates sought or cared for the place-they both holding de sirablc and permanent positions 1t Is not the first time in Tucson that good mems names have been used to carry points which the mover Knew had no earthly show of success with one of their own standard.

How Nick Denton Failed to Bribe Abra.
ham Lincoln.

The death of Mr. Denton, of Delaware
county, Iowa, recalls story he used to
tell. In the early days of the Illinois
Central Railway the line was not fenced
and one day two cows belonging to
Methodist clergyman were killed Be-
ing sued for damages, the company re-
solved to make test case OF it. The
president of the road directed Mr. Den
ton to take $500 in gold and go to Spring
field and retain Abraham Lincoln, whom
he knew well, for the company Mr..
Lincoln replied to his request, Il am
sorry you did not come yesterday, Nick,
for | have been retained by the preacher
and his friends Denton explained full
ly the Importance of the case to the
company, and then pulling two buckskin
bags filled with gold out of his pockets,
he put them down on the table before
the lawyer, with a startling chink, say
ing, Mr.. Lincoln, the president of the
road authorized me to hand you this re-
tainer of $500 to take our case" MIR.
Lincoln jumped to his feet. flushed with
anger Nick Denton" he said, II have
given my promise to that preacher and
his friends, and the Illinois Central has
not money enough to buy me away from
his side. | don't know that | shall ever
get dollar from him, but I'll do my
best to make your company pay for
those cows" Denton said that he ncv-
er felt so mean and small in his life as
he did at that moment. And in 1860,
though a Democrat. he used to say, dur
ing the Presidential campaign, that lin
coin was the noblest man in America.

Reading.

In these days, all men and women read
something, but the trouble is that by
reading in single vein, which so strong
ly appeals to their Individual tastes and
personal idiosyncrasies that it is not
study at all, they lose their power to
study anything else. That reading which
costs no effort and necessarily dissipates
the power of study, is that which we
should indulge in only for recreation,
while that which we know to be import
ant in itself, and in it's bearings upon
broad knowledge and culture, should
most engage our time and attention.
The trouble is, not that we do not read
enough, but that we read so much of
that which simply pleases us as to de-
strOy our power to read that which will
edify and enlarge us. There are many
aspects in which newspaper reading is
preferable to much that is considered
essential to high culture 1t is undoubt-
edly dissipating to the power of study,
but so is any other reading which is pur-
sued as passion. 1t has this advant-
age: that it never detaches the mind
from supreme interest in the affairs of
to-day. There are studies which sepa-
rate man from his time which shut
off his sympathies from the men and
the movements around him. There is a
kind of dilettanteism which rejoices in
mousing around in dark corners for the
curiosities of history and art, which is
wise about great nothings about
bric-a- brac, wise about antique gems,
wise about coins, wise about classical
antiquities, wise about old books of
whose contents it knows little, wise
about dead and useless things, and fool
ish enough to plume itself upon it's wis
dom.

Paying too Much for a Pew.

\ stranger recently located IN an eli
gible pew in fashionable church in
New York, and had quietly ensconced
himself in well-upholstered corner
which offered all possible facilities for
sound nap, when the owner entered.
He was alone and there was room
enough and to spare, for the day was
rainy and the congregation sparse. In
dignant, howevever, at the presence of
the intruder, the owner waited patiently
for the singing of the hymn, and then
quietly handed the book to the visitor,
with this welcome written upon the fly
leaf:
L pay $500 year for this pew"
1t was subtle way of telling the
stranger that the door was just wide
enough for an immediate exit. He was
a bit startled at first, but soon handed
him the hymn-book back with this an
swer: 80
You pay altogether too much; why
don't You move out?
The result was that neither Of the
combatants were edited by the ser
mon.

Table Etiquette.

In>, newspaper article on table eti-
quette Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher says
that in handing your plate up to have it
replenished, you should first remove the
knife and fork, and thus prevent their
being jostled off by those annoying acci-
dents which are so liable to occur Ap-
preciating the fact that it looks awk-
ward to hold the knife and fork in your
hand, and equally suspicious to stick
them in your pocket, the lady recon-
mends that you lay them down on the
solitaire or piece of bread so as not to
soil the cloth. Mrs. Beecher ough; to
remember that we do not all receive
salary of $4,000 a year and three
months at the White Mountains. and
are not, therefore, likely to be provided
with solitaires. Even in the case of
those persons who can afford such
a luxury, it seems to us to be asking
great deal of them to take it off for the
purpose of propping up greasy knife
and fork. And then, if a man lays down
his solitaire in company he takes
great risk of never seeing it again this
side Of the grave. 1t were cheaper we
take it, to grease the table-cloth and pay
the damages after dinner-buy a new
cloth, if need be, and take the old one
home for horse blanket The horse
would not kick because of grease spot
or two. A mule, though, would kick
the roof off the stable on a much less
provocation.
'On the solitaire or piece of bread.
Looking at it again, we see in it hole
for a man to crawl out Of who has no
diamond But why would not biscuit
do just as well as piece of bread? Or,
in the absence Of either bread or biscuit
"a fellow is liable to eat them. you
know-how would a cold potato work?
Or. again. how would it do to wipe the
knife and fork on your hair, and-but

drive him away so long as the connect
ing wires responded to his hand. When
at last they fred the building, he quiet
ly, and with touch of humor, sent his
last message, Fires too hot. Good
night, and got away in time, showing
himself to be as sensible as brave. Obe-
dience to order and discipline were new
er more needed than now, and it is no.
BILE thing to die at ones post, if thereby
a trust is kept that saves other lives or
keeps rapine or destruction at bay. But
to hit it so accurately as this boy has
done, to care nothing for the risk of life
so long as his magnets worked and he
could send intelligent replies over the
wires, and then to know when to quit,
makes us confess that the modern Cas-
abianca is great improvement over the
old
