We watched her breathing through til
night,
Her breathing soft and low.
As In her breast the wave Of life
Kept heaving to ard fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
So lowly moved about,
As we had lent her half our powers
TO exc her living out.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied--
We thought her dying when she slept
And sleeping when she died,
For when the morn came dim and sad
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyelids closed-she had
Another morn than ours.

For County Judge.

70 tN Voters Of Mason County: Believ-
ing that a,;;sciary Of our country ought
to be free from all political bias; that in
such elections, party lines should not be
drawn by party conventions, the aspirant
for. judicial honors should not be the ia
yorite OF a selected few, nor the exponent
Of rings, cliques or wire workers for future
political honors. therefore declare N.Y.
self o candidate for the Office OF County
Judge Of Mason, and ask the citizens OF my
county, regardless Of their former political
affiliations, to support me at the coming
August election

! notice a discrepancy Of of s12.OO
between this statement and the for
mer one for 1878, which occurred as
follows: being very busy at the time
the former statement was made of
by Mr.. Timms, did not give it a care

1t will be seen that the total
amount paid the President and Apso,
ciate Justices for the six years, end
ing December, 1878, was $500. 90,
an average of s5SS.16a per year, or
s2l1.SSs per year less than the salary
to be paid the County Judge under
the proposed system.
Even taking the year 1878, during
which as | stated above, the Court
was in session n greater number of
days than during any previous year,
the amount paid the President and
Associate Justices was only Tpo Dol
lars more than the salary of the
Judge as fixed by the new bill. But
taking the year 1878 alone is not a
fair comparison, for in that year the
per diem at the July or levy term, at
which all the Justices were summon.
ed to attend, greatly exceeded that of
any previous year, the Court being
in session s days, against 4 days in
1879 and that occurred as follows:

The selection Of the Hon. johnson

We want to add our endorsement
to the above. So far as we are con-
cerned, we prefer Mr.. Camden to any
of the gentlemen named; and it
would be but an act of justice to give
him the Democratic nomination.

could be met. This will be disap-

were counting upon making large
exhibits, but under the disturbed

by the mutterings ola new revolution,
it is best that for the present at least
the scheme should be abandoned.
