Madison Democrat; The large
republican gain down in Maine at
the late election, calls for ship
ment Of deputy marshals and cleo
ton supervisors TO that state, The
election called out a larger vote by
one thousand than the presidential
election Of 1876, and that was larger
than any previous vote Of the state.
This will do in II republican state
and where all the gain is republican,
but if it had occurred in u dem
oeratic' state and the gain been
democratic, il would have been
bull-dozing.

GALENA, Sept. Is, lS19.-Ihis
is to certify that we have this day
carefully examined and compared
two Sewing Machines Of the Sin
ser pattern, ono manufactured by
the Singer Manufacturing Compa-
NY of New York and the other
manufactured by the Henry
Stewart Manufacturing Company
Of Now York. Both machines
were perfectly new and of the
latest patterns made by both
Companies, And we find that
the material used in the Stewart
Machine is equal IN every respect
il not superior to chat used in the
Singer Company's machine. We
also find that tho bearings arc
wider, the workmanship better
III the Stewart Machine than in
the Machine made by tho Singer
Manufacturing Company. We
further commend the Stewart
Machine for its loose balance

enabled to wind the bobbin with-
ont running the machine. which

ufactured by the Singer Company.
We still further find that the de
vice for taking up lost motion iii
the driving wheel of the Stewart
Sowing Machine is the best, and
that the Stewart machine runs
lighter and stiller than tho Singer
Company's Machine. And fur.
ther, where there is Il difference
III the two machines, the snper-
iortty is shown i'll the Stewart in
every instance. The machines
are Of the same gauge and the
parts Interchangeable.

A Rancller's Life in Colorado.

4 Colorado correspondent writes: eve
at the East can hardly realize the isola-
ton oitentimes attending rancho life. A
few days since we renewed the acquaint
ance of a young gentleman whom we
met in Denver last year. He is OF a
distinguished family of Northern New
York, and a graduate of n of our
Eastern colleges. he came to this State
about a year since for the benefit of his
health, which was considerably i'm
paired. His physician advised him to
20 on a sheep rancho, whore he would
have constant outdoor employment.
He soon engaged himself to two Scotch
shepherds to assist them in the care of
sheep, and for five months the three
men managed the affairs of the rancho,
both indoors and ont, each taking his
turn in the art of cooking, and each
doing his own washing. This rancho is
situated seventy-five miles from Colo
RADIO Springs, which is their base of sup
plies.
The unvarying duties of a shepherd
arc about as follows: At sunrise to take
his flock, usually from four to six hun
dred, accompanied by his trusty horse
and faithful dogs, to green pastures and
beside still waters, if he can find them,
and there remain all the day long with
a watchiul eye over his charge. to see
that none fall into the ditch or go
astray. When the sun goes down be-
hind the Rocky mountains it is time to
start for home. The signal is given by
the shepherd, the dog is on the alert,
the "bell wether" leads the way to the
fold or corral for the night, and when
safely protected from foes without, such
as prairie wolves, the days work is
done, only to be repeated day in and

No Undertakers in Heaven.

An amusing instance of how a man
may sometimes say more than he really
means occurred in this city recently, and
more than that, it was at a funeral. The
officiating clergyman in his prayer, while
enumerating the Joys of heaven and the
great gain which the deceased had secur-
ed by being transferred thither, uses
the following language: SIN that bliss
full abode, sorrow and signing flee away;
there are no pains there; no diseases
there, no death there; no funeral,
there; no undertakers there!" This
climax of exclusion, this sentence to an
outside place pronounced on all his
class, fell on the ears of the pious and
decorous undertaken who had charge OF
the funeral ceremonies with startling
effect. It sent a cold shiver down his
spine, until he reflected that probably
the good pastor had said a little more
than he was authorized to say.-Jersey

The Presidents Message.
Fellow.citizens Of the Senate and House

Fellow.citizens Of the Senate and House OF
Representatives:
The failure of the last Congress to make the
requisite appropriations for legislative and
judicial purposes, for the expenses Of the
several executive departments Of the govern
ment, and for the support OF the army, has
made it necessary to call a special session OF
the Forty-sixth Congress. The estimates OF
the appropriations needed, which werasent to
Congress by the secretary of the treasury at
tho opening of the last session, are renewed
and are herein transmitted to both the Sen
ate and House Of Representatives.
Regretting the existence Of the emergency
which requires a special session OF Congress at
a time when it is the general judgment Of the
country that the public welfare will be best
promoted by permanency in our legislation
and by peace and rest, I commend these few
necessary measures to your considerate atten'
ton.
