THE FIRST FROST.

A light frost was visible in spots
this morning, both within the limits
of the city and in the country beyond.
In some places it wilted sweet potato
vines, and in others they-aro as fresh
and green as ever Slight indications
of the hoary visitor were noticed at
intervals along railroad irons. 1t was
not much of a frost, however, as many
persons rose with the dawn and made

find a speck of the long looked for and

THEIR STAR.
c. MASON LANE.


Two little youngsters, one a boy
With clust'ring hair Of wavy brown,
And eyes that are his mothers joy,
They are so very like her own:
The other one, little girl,
Fairest of all the little girls,
With lips Of carmine, teeth Of pearl,
Mischicvous eyes and nut-brown curls
Espied a star that glittered far
Up in the realms of space unknown;
And little dears, as children are,
They called this evening star their own;
And promised that, if ever they
By cruel Fate were forced to part,
They would, when gazing on its ray,
United be in mind and heart.
Then when they whispered their goodnight
The boy went on his homeward way;
But stopped beneath the stars pale light
And humbly knelt him down to pray
That God would shelter her and him
Nor let their paths be parted far;
And never let the light grow dim
That darted from their guiding star.
0, God thou Father Of mankind!
Wilt Thou, whom watching cannot tire,
Watch Ger these little ones, and bind
Them firmly by their astral fire
To hand in hand, pass thro' the land
Until they reach the gates ajarl
As hand in hand, the shepherd band
Marched on beneath the natal star!
The days flew by, and brought an hour
That froze the joy in the boy heart,
And bade Despair his soul devour,
Since be must from his idol part.
The star now beaming from on high
Discloses in his heart a scar
That marks the spot where buried lie
His hopes beneath his guiding starl

SANITARY IMPRoYEMF FNTs.

This journal is not opposed to pub
lie improvements Of any character,
sewerage included but it is most
earnestly opposed to the construction
of any system of improvements that
will entail an additional tax of more
than one per cent per annum on the
present assessment Sewerage, paved
streets, an improved public landing
everything that will facilitate com
merce, or cleanse and beautify the city,
arc good things, and the LEDGER will
approve and advocate any plan looking
to their structure, provided it is de-
vised here at home and does not aim
TO have works Of such magnitude built
all at once. We have first class engi
neers here, who are familiar with the
situation and understand the needs of
the city better than those new absent
or not of US. Men like j. B. Cook,
Captain A. ]. Murray and others may
be consulted to advantage, and the
contemplated Improvements can be
commenced during the present win
ter, but it will be folly to at
tempt their completion between
now and next summer. We
must pay as we go sewer and pave
one street at time and not levy an
improvement tax Of more than one
per cent. upon that we are now pay
ing. A higher rate will be more
ruinous than the sickness has been.
There is no certainty that when all of
the proposed improvements are com
pleted, that we can keep yellow fever
away. The highest, cleanest and
most beautiful places have felt its
fatal breath with as much or more
virulence than we have done, and the
town is no more likely to be saved
from another visitation of the malady
by sewers to cost half a million Of
money than it will be by the half q
dozen thousand dollars worth Of lime
and copperas water which has been
scattered under the sills Of our houses
and poured on priyy seats by the Ma
tional board of health during the pas
summer. The recent meeting Of
Memphians at St. Louis and Nashville
to discuss sewerage and sanitation
developed no feasible system which
this journal can support. We wan
no jobs fixed up abroad. When oul
people return home and the subject
can be properly considered by tbosc
now present as well as those away if Z
reasonable proposal is made to built
sewers and pave highways the LEDGE
will vigorously support such proposal
1t is prepesterous, however, TO talk
about q tax of from four to seven pei
cent.

1O' below that, and yet a number of

There is no danger in business houses

FrightfnI Lean.

CLEVELAND, October 21.-There
was frightful leap this evening at
the Columbus street bridge over Guy
ahoga river. An alarm of fire was
turned in from box No. Y, to which
No. 6 engine company, among others,
responded. This company was going
in the direction Of the FIRE with all
possible speed, and when within about
twenty feet of the bridge, the driver,
Henry Delaney, discovered it was
swung for passage of vessels. 1t is a
down grade, and the horses dashed
ahead at a great rate of speed, and in
a moment after Delaney had made
the frightful discovery, leaped from
the street into the river, a distance OF
twenty feet, taking with them the
steamer, the driver, the engineer, Oil.
yer Hartzell, and one fireman, John
Mofatt.
The horses we're either drowned or
killed outright, and the steamer now
lies a mass of ruins at the bottom OF
the river. The driver, Henry Delaney
kept hold of the reins, and clung to
his seat on the steamer till he touched
water. He escaped with a few bruises
about the legs. Engineer Hartzell
while going down, jumped from the
steamer, and was considerably, though
not fatally, injured about the region oi
the stomach. Mofatt did not leave
his place on the engine, and escaped
unhurt. John Sewell, fireman, jumped
off the engine just as the horses took
the frightful plunge, and was left on
the sidewalk. He was knocked sense
less and seriously injured.

got off the Memphis bound train at
this point and swOre out warrant for
the arrest of lady on her way to
Memphis. The warrant was sworn
out on the grounds of an attempt to
violate the quarantine law. The lady
went to the hotel and was not arrest
ed. On Sunday Mr.. j. Brown was
arrested and taken from the train at
this place on the same grounds, paid
the cost of the suit and left here on
foot soon after for Memphis. We
would like to know if the board of
health has the right to arrest a party
thirty-six miles from Memphis for
violating or attempting to violate the
quarantine law. If they have, the
railroad should not sell tickets to
Memphis. Both of the above named
parties had tickets to Memphis.

CHICAGO, October q. - There
seems to be an epidemic Of mystic

of Judge Farwell. Walter is a young
man about twenty-eight years old,

frolics. On Saturday evening he was
on spree. He left some gay friends
at city restaurant about 9 pm, os-
tensibly to transact some business on
the West Side, but really to get a
carriage and drive to notorious
bagnio. He was last seen at that
place, the mistress stating she found
that he was drunk, and tried 70 get
him to bed, and that he resented her
kindness and drove of again. lie
had two or three thousand dollars,
which he had shown recklessly. The
theory is that be has either been kid
mapped or murdered, but in either
case has lost his money. Detectives
have been after him since Monday,
but without result.

SILVER in THE FUTURE.

Representative Stephens of Georgia
has views of his own on the silver ques-
ton, and they take the shape of proph-
ecy, in this extract from a recent inter-
view. He declared:
I am hard money man and always
have been. The silver question in the
next four years will assume greater impor.
tanCe than any other since the Crusades.
The present business boom is based on
starvation in Europe and good crops in
this country, and when these local Caus-
es are removed, our condition will be
worse than before. What ought to be
done is to increase our currency by en-.
lsrging the capacity of our mints, and
by the issue of silver certificates. l
would let greenbacks alone, and let the
people decide as to national bank notes.
l think they would prefer silver Certih-
Gates to either. l do not believe thou.
sand million of these would be one dol
lar too much.
On this silver question the minds Of
the people seem to be pretty we'll made
up. They wish to have silver placed on
an absolute equality with gold at the
mints. They may not agitate this year.
but will certainly permit no steps back
ward. Hayes and Sherman recommend
the coinage of the silver dollar be sus.
pended, and the strong journals Of the
Republican party take the same ground
but all accounts from Washington repre-
sent this recommendation has been very
coldly received by Republican Congress-

Is NOT MR.. GARFIELD A FREE
IRADERl

A short time since We expressed sur
prise that the Protection party Of Ohio
should contem plate electing Gen. Gar
field to the United States Senate, when
it was well known he was free trader,t
in sentiment.
The Repository took issue with us al
once, denying that Gen. Garfield was 8
free trader, and dared us for the proof
On the third page of this paper will'be
found an article, from the Youngstown
Nindicdtor, of some weeks ago, giving
Mr.. Garfeld's record in Congress, with
day and date. Let our neighbor peruse
and then say if Mr., Garfield is not as
much free trader as Fernando Wood
1t seems by the record of Congress
that Mr.. Garfield some eight years age
voted to lettoreign coal in free of duty. -.
At the same session he voted against
putting tea and coffee on the free list.
In 1872 he voted to reduce the tariff
dnty on wool, iron and steel, and on all
manufactures of iron and steel ten per
cent.
In his speeches, Mr. Garfield has spo.
ken against the principle of protective
duties-has said the tendency of cor.
rect public policy was to free trade and
commerce; and that the ablest authors
on Political science, as we'll as the teach.
ers in our best colleges, were opposed to
protection. In his speech in 1870, on
the tariff question, he said:
"As an abstract theory of political
economy, FREE TRADE has many ad.
vocates, and much can be said in lis favor;
nor will it be denied that the scholar
ship OF modern times is largely on that
side; that large majority of the great
thinkers of the present day are leading
in the direction of what is called FREE
TRADE"
Did Fernando Wood or any other
Democrat ever put it palmer or strong.
err The wonder to us is that Mr.. Gar.
field can act with the Republican party.
The Repository is a Garfield, and q pro.
tective tariff organ. How can it recon.
cile the two, with the record of Mr.,
Garfield?
