Death of General James Shields.

Most of our readers perhaps, will have heard of
his departure ere this number reaches them. 1t
took place suddenly on the ls of June, at Ottumwa,
Iowa, while on visit from his home in Carroton,
Missouri 1t seems but a few days since when we
saw him in good health in the Senate, and heard
him exposing the iniquitv Of that infamous sixty
surgeons bill, intended to rob the soldiers and their
widows and orphans. General Shields was born in
Ireland in the year 1870 and emigrated to the
United States in his sixteenth year We hear of
him soon after as school teacher at the little village
Of Kaskaskia ILL., Ere long lie became member
of the legislature of Illinois He was awhile com
missioner of the General Land Office at Washing
ton and on the breaking out Of the Mexican
commanded regiment Of volunteers from his
adopted State His bravery and courage were un-
disputed, and in one engagement ball passed di
rectly through his lungs At the close of the war he
was elected United States Senator from Illinois and
served six years. Removing TO Minnesota he en-
tered into the pursuits Of farming, when he was
taken from his retirement and sent as Senator
from the State of Minnesota to Washington
Changing his residence to Missouri he again be-
agriculturist aboring IN the fields with his
employees and living in unpretending simplicity.
But the of the rebellion broke out and General
Shields took the field on behalf Of his country His
record in the Valley Of Virginia was one of marked
honor. But age was creeping upon him. and ere
the war closed he retied to his western home But
new honors We're forced upon him. There being
vacancy for bfief time in the U s. Senate from
Missouri again the Old patriot was chosen to go to
that body Thus three States have been repre-
sented in the Senate by General Shields--a circum-
stance which never before has arisen or probably,
will ever arise in the history of any man The old
soldier and statesman died in peace and painless
and his memory deserves to be revered continuously
by the people of a country he loved 50 devotedly

MarA Twain Q Candidate.

Mark Twain offers himself ss a candidate for ,be presidency. and to diseeunt islander he makes public confession of all his wickedness Here is the record Had 8 rheuua- tic grand father in 1850, whom he ran up a tree and shot because he snored. His inhumanity remains. He ran away from Gettysburg. but be denies that he reueatel as Wash ington did at Valley Forge. for pri- yate prayer. s.I struck out in a straight line for the Jropic of Can cer because l was scared. l want my country sayed. but ! preferred to have somebody else save 1t. en- tertain that preference yet If the bubble reputation can be obtained only at the cannon's mouth. 1 am wiling to go there for t, provided the cannon is empty If it is loaded my immortal and Tuhexible purpose is to get over tbe fence and go home. My inyariable practice in war has bee0 to bring ont of every fight two- thirds more men than when l went in. This seems to me to be Napolenlc m it's grandeur. 2 Financially he is iD favor Of any money he can get. He buried an aunt under a grape vine pr. dedicated her to the high pur- pose Of a grape vine fertilizer. He needed the vine but had no want which the aunt could pupply. Sbe was dead and had to be buried and he utilized her. He claims that this act was not singular with presiden- tial candidates. Il admit also that l am not a friend of the poor man. 1 regard the poor man in bis present condition, as SO much wasted raw material. Pu. np and properly can- ned. he might be made useful to fat ten the natives of the cannibal islands and to improve cur export trade with that region. I shall recommend leg isIation on the subject in my first message. Ny campaign cry will be: Desiccate the poor working man {; stuff him into sausage These are about the worst parts of my record On them l come before the country. If my country don't want me l shall go back again But l recommend myself as q safe man--a man who starts from he basis of total deprav- ity and proposes to be 6endish to the Esf ,2

A Sabbath school was assemblea

4 Sabbath school vas assembled recently for it's monthly concert. The lesson Was about swearing, ahd when the children" had repeated their verses. the minister rose to them :. 1 hope, dear children" he said, that you will never let your lips speak profans words Buf new want to tell you about a kind of swearing which I heard good woman speak about not long ago. She called 1t wooden swearing. It's 8 kind of swearing that many people beside children are giving to, when they are angry. Instead of giving vent to their feelings in oaths they slam the doors, kick tbe chairs, stamp on the floor throw furniture about and make all the noise they possibly can. Isn't this just the same as swearing?' said she. It's just the same kind of feeling exactly, only they as not like to say those awful words; but they force the furniture to make the noise, and so I call 1t. wooden swearing. I hope dear ekll- dren, that you wiIl not do sng of this klnd of swearing either"

Treasury Department Certain dies. from which are fashioned the plates Eo print greenbacks, national notes and ten dollar certificates, are, 1t ap~ pears, kept in the vault of Ihis Bu- reau. During the past sixteen yeaFa these dies have been from t5nae to tune stolen and removed fTam tAis vault and returned to it again. From them. counterfeit plates have beer taken, and. without lawfussushorisy millions of spurious gresnbaeks which the government aaa people of the United States cannot identify. and must recognize. hare been print, ed and put in circulation Ik seems that not only were these dies accessi- ble te those who set this gigantic fraud on foot, bur the peculiar fibre paper apon which government obli- gations are printed, was witbinreach, SO that there has been nc obstacle in the way of the raseals who had sur reptiEiously obtained the dies
 These frauds could not, of ooars, have been perpetfated without the .connivance of treasury officials, and must have been perperated by such officials. At d public meetIng in New York, a former officer oE the Treasury, Mir. J. K. H. Wilcox, de- ciared the facts and addaced the proofs of the charge IL wouldsesm that Hon.

years old. and weighs eighty-seven

reverse the figures, fixing his age at
eightyseven, and his weight ut sixty

on the Hampton Road Conference, he
came upon the United States vessel

"For heavens sake don't let il get
into the papers," is the first cry Of a
person caught in a mean scrape
Keep it out Of the papers and it is all
right. No matter how contemplate
or dishonest the position may be, or
how much reason the offenders may
have for the shame, remorse and con-
triton, II the circumstances can be
kept from the "cormorants Of the
press" as the people who have good
reason to he afraid of newspaper re-
poriers sometimes call them, he is
tranquil and happy. We are no
champion Of that extreme license of
the press that is often displayed, but we
have noticed that the ones who cry
out the loudest against newspaper dis
closures are generally those whose
own lives and acts would not bear
close inspection. People who live
clean, straightforward lives have little
to fear from the newspapers.

is in California, there is something
about these far West elections that is
still more terrifying. That is the
ballots they cast. They are 50 big
that they cast all other California big
things into the shade. Each ballot Is
five inches wide and two feet long,
and contains eighty-seven names.
