A MYslnrious Character.

There is II ghost, a living ghost of
flesh and blood who is doing more just
nov to demoralize the police and de-
tectives OF our western cities than all
the criminals extant. He appears al
most simultaneously at two or three
places at once. He appears in Chey-
enne to-day, only to turn up at Denver,
Laramie City or Sidney while our police
force are sure he is within their grasp.
He appeared in Cheyenne a few weeks
ago. He came into town, walked about
quietly, took his toddies ut the most
fashionable resorts, shook hands here
and there with those he fancied, and
went on his way. He paid his hotel
bills and so far as the closest surveil
lance of the police could detect, did no
wrong. How he lives or travels is a
profound mystery to all. That he runs
with a hard crowd is well known, but
thus far he has never been caught in
any act which would justify his arrest.
He does not work and has never been
known to have money; nor does he seem
anxious to obtain sugar" When the
police pay him too close attention he
suddenly disappears, but how and where
is a mystery. No IL sees him arrive,
and the sharpest eyes fail to observe his
departure. Said an old and experience
ed policeman yesterday: "That man is
n puZzler. We can't make out his
racket He comes here and runs
around a few days and we give him a
word and then he vanishes. He don't
steal, and does not cut up as we can
see, but we know he is 'oD the lay"
He is certainly q modern enigma. He
has successfully bafled the combined
efforts of all western detectives to turn
him over, and still he continues his
restless wandering. When he is spoken
to by a policeman he smiles blandly and
bows p~rofusely and Misrepresentation, no
| one seems to understand.
The most of our business men yes
terdap partially cleared the sidewalks
in front of their places, which renders
locomotion about the city less difficult
than on Friday.

DEAR SIR:-We have had q passing
shower this week, commencing on Sun
day, and we haven't seen the end yet,
but hope to ere the week ends. Last
Sabbath Mr.. Sergeant preached twice
in this place, once in the NJ. i. Church
according to last weeks report. Morn

MI. VIM. Sabin, brother Of J. II. Sa-
bin, one Of our citizens, arrived in Will
mot last eve, direct from Guide Rock,
Nebraska. Mr.. Sabin was formerly q
resident Of the town Of Salem, but
moved to Nebraska some years ago.
All old acquaintance unite in giving
him q hearty welcome, wishing him a
pleasant visit and safe journey home.
Last Monday, the 22d inst, was the
SOth birthday Of Susan Sabins, or as
she is universally known, "Grandma
Sabins" Her old neighbors, and some
friends in Wilmot met together to eel
citrate it. Among the guests were Mrs.
Harvey and Mrs. Reynolds Arnold Of
Wilmot, whose birthdays occurred the
same day, Mrs. Harvey being IS and
Mrs. Arnold So. BY some strange CO.
incidence all three were seated togther
at the table, Grandma in the middle.
The guests furnished an excellent re-
past and left, many presents as tokens
of esteem and friendship. Grandma
has lived in this town about 10 years.
Of her four living sons, two are living
here, and two are "out west" Seven
years ago was celebrated her Golden
Wedding, many Of the guests then
present, being with her again on Mon
day. Some have passed away, among.
whom are her husband, Samuel Sabin,
he died about two years after being
nearly eighty years OF age. Grandma
is one Of those "Mothers in Israel" a
saint upon earth, holding daily COM
municati0n with God our Father. Pa
tiently waiting, waiting in faith, until
the Angel Of Death shall gather her

The best COWS for a milk dairy are
grade Shorthorns. They milk plenti-
fully, giving rich, high-favored milk,
and the cream does not rise rapidly up
on it. This renders the milk most
suitable for shipping to city or town
market. By good feeding, COWS of this
kind are kept in good flesh, and when
failing in milk, they fatten with rapid
ity. We cannot see how a milk dairy
man can afford to raise calves. Profit
is only made from milk, and a dry cow
soon "eats her head Off" A good sup
ply of dairy COWS is to be found in
Southern New York and Northern
Pennsylvania, in the region of the
head-waters Of the Delaware and Sus-
quehanna rivers. A good class Of stock
is kept there, bred to supply purchas-
ers. -An2eYjc0?2 gricuztu9iSt.

NEW MANAGEMENT OF THE
CHICAGO POST.

The late editor and business mana
ger of the Chicago Post, Oliver A. Will
lard, having died q few weeks ago has
caused change in the management Of
that paper. Efforts to secure q proper
successor to MI. Willard have resulted
in placing the editorial and business
charge of the paper under the control
of Miss Francis E. Willard and Mrs.
Oliver A. Willard, sister and wife OF
Mr.. Willard. Miss Willard is an able
writer and will have the chief editorial
control and Mrs. Willard, believed to
have unusual business talent, will
have the chief business control.
They have entered upon their re-
spectiye duties and their Introductory
address appeared in the Post of Satur-
day. From it we take the following
The Post will be, as heretofore, and
first OF ali, a newspaper. But, as the
entrance of women into literature
has helped to purify it, we hope
their appearance as managers Of
a metropolitan newspaper may have
a similar effect in secular jour
nalism, so far, at least as their own
columns are concerned. Nothing less
than the determination to bring with
them the amenities and eleVating infu-
ences which characterize their home
life can Justify women in entering Cir
cles Of influences popularity thought to
lie beyond their sphere" The Post,
then, will be more than a buyer and
seller in the news market. 1t will aim
to outline the story of the worlds do
ings to-day, that the reading thereof
will tend to make the world BETTER to-
morrow. 1t will have opinions on all
subjects of public interest; will address
itself to a constituency located, not in
bar rooms and billiard halls, but in
business offices and homes; it will
warmly advocate all causes that tend
to ennOble human nature, and will
strive always to express itself in words
which woman might speak or hear.
AS heretofore, the Post will be polit-
ical paper, independent and fearless,
lending its influence to such measures
only as are calculated to hasten the
time when all mems veal shall,be each
mans care. The relations and duties
Of the wise to the ignorant and the
rich to the poor, will be discussed
with malice toward none and charity
for ALL We hope to give the paper
a literary character not un-
worthy its earlier record; and to make
it Of especial interest to those interest.
cd in art and education
This speaks well. It is just as a pa
per should be managed. And there is
no doubt but that Miss and Mrs. Viii
lard intend to carry it out and expect
to succeed. But will they be success
full in carrying into effect their inten
tiOns and expectations? We hope they
may. And if they do they will accom-
plish a great work. And if the puri
fed Post should be the means of puri
flying the. press Of Chicago it would
accomplish still greater work. Great
Ell than the great fire which destroyed
Chicago accomplished. And if tn
press Of Chicago should become puri
fed there might be hopes of the worl,
becoming purified. And we hope an

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

| The Albany Evening Journal puts
forth the following excellent platform,
upon which the Republican party can
act unitedly and successfully. It says:
"The duty of the Republican party is
to meet the direct and positive de
mands of the hour. It has as distinct
a mission, and perhaps one as vital as
at any former period Of its career. To
consummate the resumption Of specie
payments and secure financial stability
and security to the. country; to protect
the republic against the dangerous al
lance Of Southern claimants who seek
to rifle it's treasury and of Northern
demagogues who menace every safe
guard of national honor and prosperity !;
to save the nation from the control of
the party which threatens every in
dustry with an upheaval Of the tariff,
and which is the chief support Of the
dangerous and communistic tendencies
of the times - all this affords the
broadcast platform for Republican unity
and success"

COLES BAsHFoRD, Governor Of Wis
consin in 1856 and 1857, died at his
residence at Tucson, Arizona Territory
April Is, 1878, aged 50 years.
Ex-Governor Bashford ! will be re-
membered as contesting successfully
the governorship with William 4.
BarstoW i'll 1856, He was the first
Republican candidate for Governor
and was elected. Barstow, who was
then Governor, was the opposing can
didate and by the State CanVassers
counting fraudulent votes was given
the certificate Of election and IN Janu-
ary was inaugurated with more than
usual ponp and ceremony. On the
same day Mr.. Bashford took the
oath Of Office administered to
him by Oh lief Justice Wilton in the
Supreme Court room. An information
in the nature Of q quo aOdqT022to was
filed in the Supreme Court, setting
forth that MI. B ashford was duly ell
ected and that Mr.. Barstow was occu-
ping the Executive off ce without
authority. An able array of Counsel
was employed on both sides and the
case was very ably contested. The
Jurisdiction Of the Court was de-
MED On the part of BarstoW, but the
Court held jurisdiction and the trial
proceeded. The issue was raised on
the question of the validity of the re-
turns from certain polls, counted by
the State Canvassers, upon which their
certificate was based, and which were
alleged to be fraudulent. These returns
were held by the Court to be fraudu-
lent, having been manipulated at Mad
ison. On the oath Of March the Court
adjudged MI. Bashford the rightful
Governor Of the State and he assumed
the duties Of the office on the 25th Of
March 1856, and his administration
was very acceptable to the people. In
| 1861 he declined a denomination.
In 1868 MI. Bashford removed to
Tucson, Arizona, and resided there till
the time of his death. In Arizona he has
held several important territorial Off
ces the last Of which was Secretary OF
State which Office he resigned in 1876.
He was elected delegate to the 4Oth
Congress and served the term. It is
said that he was very popular in Ari-
zona, had q large law practice, and had
accumulated q large property.
