Kind Words from u Sterling Demo
cratic Merchant.

NEW YORK, April 80, 1879.
Mr.. G. p. JOHNsON.-Dedr Sir al
am just in receipt Of the GAZETTE,
greatly enlarged, and l must compliment
you on your enterprise. think to Will
mington and to you belong the credit OF
publishing the neatest and best one cent
daily published in the country.
The Gazette ssThe Best Local Paper"
From the Republican.
The Gazette" has given tangible evil
dence of its prosperity by coming out ell
larged to a twenty-eight column paper,
and proportionately increased in length.
1t makes a very good appearance, and ex-
cept the REPUBLICAN,, will no doubt be
the best local paper in the city. We do
not always agree with our neighbor, but
as 1t always takes its Democracy with
unwavering constancy without any adul-
teration, we know where to find it. Ii
is not like the political nondescript that
Mr.. Hoar described in the House OF
Representatives the other day when
speaking of the Greenbackers, too much
woman to be of any use as a fish, and toe
much fish to be of any use as a woman
The "Gazette" and the REPUBLICAs
both belong to that class of "cheap mast,
penny papers," that were to have beei
crushed out of existence by the grea
corporation organ, but "we still live,
and have seen the naughty debased, an,
the proud brought very low. We ar
glad to see this evidence Of prosperity II
the part of our uptown neighbor, an,
though we expect to be engaged in man
skirmishes with it, we wish it success.

IHE Republican attempts to make po-
litical capital for its party out of the dis
graceful and infamous trick which has
been played off upon the poor negro emf
grants from Louisiana and Mississippi.
This is as bad as the ssbloody shirt
dodge. But anything to save sinking
Radicalism. The people are growing
tired OF such political .ssnaresn and they
cannot much longer be deluded by any
such tricks. ~ 80

LICENSES should certainly be refused
to men to sell liquor who have been con-
victed for selling liquor without Govern
ment or State license. We think the
Court should make this rule. Those
who have been detected in thus defraud-
ing the State should be made an exam
ple of.

THE FATE OF THE FAST YOUNG MAN
WRITTEN IN THE STATES PRISON.

It's curious, isn't it, Billy,
The changes that twelve months may bring;
Last year l was at Saratoga,
As happy and rich as a king.
! was raking in pools on the races,
And feeling the walters with tens"
And slipping mint-juleps by twilight,
And to-day am here in the pen.
"What led ME to do il? % What always
Leads men to destruction and crime?
The prodigal son, whom you've read of,
Has altered somewhat in his time;
He spends his substance as freely
As the biblical fellow of old,
But when it is gone he fancies
The husks will turn into gold
Champagne, box AZ the opera,
High steps, while fortune is flush,
The passionate kisses of women,
Whose cheeks have forgotten to blush
The old, old story, Billy,
OF pleasure that end in tears
The froth and foams for an hour
The dregs that are tasted for years.
Last night, as l sat here and pondered
On the end of my evil ways,
There arose like a phantom before me,
The scene of my bOyhoOd days,
/ thought of my old home, Billy;
OF the schoOl-hOuse on the hill
Or the brook that flowed thrO the meadow
/ can cen hear its music still,
Again 1 thought of my mother
OF the mother VINO taught me to pray
Whose love was precious treasure
That ! heedlessy cast away
l saw again, in my vision,
The fresh-lipped, careless boy,
To whom the future was boundless,
And the world but mighty toy
l thought of all this as sat here
OF my ruined and wasted life
And the pangs of remOrSc were bitter
They pierced my heart like knife.
1t takes some courage, Billy,
To laugh in the face of fate,
When the yearning ambitions of manhood
Are blasted at twenty-eight.

AMERICAS GREATEST BRIDGE.-A
New \ Ork journal remarks 3
People who cross to and from Brooklyn by
ferry are apt TO look up at the great East
river bridge and wonder what assurance they
have that when the heavy floor Is built and
loaded with travel, il will be safety held up
10y the SuSpending cables. These cables
have Just been tested by a machine which is
the most elaborate and perfect of its kind in
the world. 1t i the one planted on the gov
ernment grounds at the Watertuwn. Mass,
arsenal, designed by Mr.. \. II. Emery, and
and Is, indeed, a marvel of skilled coustruc-
ton, for il shows how many ounces are
needed to break piece Of thread, and how
many tons to fracture steel beam. The
apparatus Is microscopic in accuracy, inso-
much that it registers, in a breaking weight
of a million pounds within one pound Of the
mass needed This was the machine selected
TO test the suspcnding cables, anG McSsrs.
William II. Payne and Isaac Newton, engi-
necrS connected with the Brooklyn bridge
recently spent four DAYS i'm the tests at the
arsenal, which is under charge of Col. +. I.
:. Iaidiey, Of the ordnance cOruS. Instead
of using small sectors OF the suSpending ca
bles, they took lengths that would make the
results decisive. Not to 90 into technical
ties, the tests were entirely satisfactory. and
showed that the precautions taken in put
ting together the parts were ample Tor their
purpose. The Suspcnding cables were found
10y the engineers to possess a strength much
greater than is required to resist the strain
that will he put upon them in actual use. \
thought suggested 10y this test Is that IL j. a
matter of regret that machine so useful
should be left on one side Of the central lines
OF iron and steel construction. It cost the
government nearly \ hundred thousand dol
lars, and il would be well 30 have it used
freely hv the people.

ROMANCE IN REAL DIFE.-Some fiji
teen years ago Olga Eskold obtained
such fame for her vocal powers that an
enthusiastic patron removed her from
the Swedish village in which she had
always lived TO give her training in the
Royal Conservatory of Music, at Stock
holm. In bidding goodbye to her old
home Olga told her village lover, Chris
tian Sielhorn. that he had better think
no more about her, as they would soon
be very wide apart. Young SielhoTn
grew desperate and that night left for
America without word. He settled in
Buffalo and worked for over thirteen
years as ship carpenter. Nearly two
years ago he made up his mind tC go
back to Sweden and find out what be-
come of Olga. At New York he was
robbed of almost all his earnings and re-
mained in Bellevue Hospital, i'll with
brain fever. for several months. Upon
reaching Stockholm he learned that
Olga's voice had broken down. that she
had married long ago aud had also gone
to America. Sielhorn's old love still
burned and he came back to this cOun-
try. After a long search he found that
Olga had been living in Buffalo, his
own city, for several years. She was q
widow and had, family of eight child
ren. Last week Olga and Christian
were married, and started in a wagon
with all the children overland to Kan
Sas.
