The ST. Paul Pioneer P,e@ has taken
some trouble to ascertain the choice Of the
people OF Minnesota for President in 1890
and says GRANT is almost universally the
decided preference of the Republicans
pnd TILDEN is generally the iavorile with
the Democrats. II thinks GARFIELD's
wise leadership Of the House Is forerun.
ner that he may he summoned to higher
responsibilities. The chairman oi the
Republican State Committee of Wisconsin
says GRANT is the first choice Of the Re.
publieans Of that State, and L. b. WASH.
BURN second choice.

other eastern cities on the frontier, used to
be richly dressed. This was during and
Immediately after the war The other day
large consignment of the costly jewels
worn by the New York social bellies during
the times that were good, came to Leadville
to be sold. Such consignments have been
common in the last few weeks. Through
reverses in fortunes the highNtoned ladies
of New York are compelled to sell. Through
great and unexpected prosperity the ladies
of Leadville think they must buy, and to
hear Mrs. So and So, or Miss -, the
daughter of ore of the Kittie Krocker mine
owners, paying two or three thousand dol
lars for pair of earrings, or four thous
and dollars for brace of bracelets, or two
thousand for finger ring, is nothing un-
common. One house in this city is now
wholly engaged in bringing to Leadville
the most costly jewels that can be found in
the Eastern markets, and during the season
now at hand, there will be ballroom scenes
in Leadyile that will dazzle.

RUNNING FOR HIS LEE.
Fearful Encounter Between Farmer
and an Ok Mad with HydrOphObia.

Reading Eagle.
Near Owingsburg, Pa, George Herman,
well-to do farmer, narrowly escaped
beng Killed by an OK which was suffering
from hydrophobia. The animal had been
raised by Mr.. Herman A few DAYS ago
1t was bitten by a dog supposed to be mad.
On WednoedHy evening Mr.. Herman noticed
that the OK acted strangely and he penned
1t up IN shed in the barn-yard About 4
O'Clock in the morning he was awakened
by hearing strange sounds in the direction
OF the barn. Supposing that one of his
horses was unwell, he went out, and was
surprised to sec the OK raving around the
barn-yard, uttering low moans and tearing
up the ground with his horns.
When Mr.. Herman entered the ward the
OK stopped his antics, and he approached
it, When he was about twenty feet from
the animal, it lowered its head, and with a
roar made a rush at him. The man re-
tained his presence of mind and as the
animal approached, he stepped on one side,
but IN dong SO he was struck in the face
by hoof He staggered to his feet and
made toward a garden fence, but the OK
turned and charged after him. The dis~
tance was about thirty yards, and the race
was won by the man, who reached the
fence and fairly threw himself over it Be
fore he conld rise from the ground there
was terrible crash, and the OK dashed
through the fence, scattering the boards
right and left and rolling headlong over
Mr.. Herman. 1t didn't take the man long
to get on his feet and escape over another
fence, which surrounds the house His
clothes were badly used mp and his face
was covered with blood from the wound
,allsed by the kick he had received, but he
vas not seriously injured.
After getting a gun and loading it with
powder and handful of bird-shot wrapped
n rag, Herman returned to the fray. He
ound the OK paving the ground wrathful-
y, and pausing occasionally to dig his
lorns viciously into it, at the same time
giving vent to roars that could be heard
more than mile away The animals head |
vas covered with blood from cuts received |
~ butting its way out of the stable, and |
,reat quantities of saliva issued from its
mouth. Herman mounted stone wall |
which runs along one side of the garden
nd from that place tlred two shots at the
OK.
The first shot took effect in tg neck and
My seemed to increase its rage, for, with
lind fury, it charged at the stone wall and
altered its head against the stones. Tho
econd shot, however, struck the OK in the
de and killed it. On going to the stable
here the animal had been penned the night
efore Herman found the sides of that
5ructure completely battered to pieces, and
l another part of the yard, he found
Og, weighing nearly POO pounds, dead and
ored to shapeless mass of Jolly.

is as to crowd as much usefulness af
possible into it's labors having reference
more to the happiness of others than to
any one condition in which we may fine
ourselves, or to any anxiety for our own
welfare.
Tho foregoing remarks are intended
specially for the editor of THE COMET, but
generally for such of his readers as may
be discouraged by bad crops or unpromis>
ing surroundings. This letter, too, was
written on Sunday, and is intended for the
Sunday column.
Religious sentiment in Texas is much
the same as with you. All along the rail>
road, have been led to think that shep-
herds look more to the size of the flock
than the character of the sheep; and the
sheep regard the ability of the shepherd to
defend their particular cote rather than the
ability and disposition to make war upon
the wolves generally and save all the sheep.
1t is hard for preacher to be a good man
He has not only flesh and the Devil to FL ht
but he must meet and tranquilze all the
meanness in his congregation. If he an
tagonizes, his pay is affected, and much
grace is required to elevate the average
human mind above question of daily bread.
l am sometimes reminded of things, not
proper to be written, when l watch preach
ers threading their tortuous way through
pastors life-a hard life, and when faith
fully adhered to, glorious life, yet, with
out the greatest care, it will develop Won
deful faculty of deceiving, SO that ones
self may be deceived.
To illustrate: About a week ago prom
inent minister speaking to me of his con-
gregation, referred to u distinguished law
yer, who is a man, universally respected
and of great powers, but who is festive and
rarely goes to church have no idea that
the man knows which is in his creed, |
''total depravity," ''final perseverance"
or ''falling from grace" but he pays Che
has plenty) and has his name on the church
book. When he does enter the church,
there is general turning to look and the
preacher has new light to fall on his face.
The minister said to mo "Gen. - is
pious man, and an humble mani am so
fond of him" Mentally I said, ''See
here, Hodges, for l knew better. The
Doctor was deceived, perhaps.
To conclude this Sunday letter, 1 will
say: All of us have hard time, and each
of us can make the others burden lighter,
and in SO doing, do all that is commanded
by experience and Revelation

We find the following in an exchange


Senator Gordon drives fast mare to
pony phaeton in Atlanta, Ga, or rather his
wife does, while he sits beside her. This
lady rode with him through the war.
So Gen. Gordon is patterning after
shoddy. If he will avail himself of the
first opportunity to take seat in a crowded
street car, while Mrs. g. stands up, and
swings on by a car strap, he will have
shoddy down to its finest and most beautiN
full point.
We consider the comments of the Clarion
of doubtful propriety. A lady that is held
in such high estimation wherever she is
known, should not be mentioned in such

shoddy about Gen. Gordon. He is one of

We think our neighbor must have been

Col Robert G. Ingersob, in closing his
lecture on the ''Mistakes of Moses, says:
No matter what may come to me, or what
may come to you, let us do exactly what We
believe to be right, and let us give the ex-
act thought in our brains. Rather than
have this christianity true, | would rather
all the gods would destroy themselves this
morning. | would rather the whole uni
verse would go to nothing, if such thing
were possible, this instant. Rather than
have the glittering dome of pleasure reared
on the eternal abyss of pain, | would SEQ
the utter and eternal destruction of this
universe. I would rather see the shining
fabric Of our universe crumble to unmean-
ing chaos and take itself where oblivion
broods and memory forgets would rather
the blind Samson of some imprisoned force
released by thoughtless chance, should SO
rack and strain this world that man in stress
and stTaint, in astoniShment and fear,
should suddenly fall back to savegery and
barbarity. would rather that this thrilled
and thrilling globe, shorn of all life, should
in its cycles rub the wheel, the parent star
on which the light should fall as fruitlessly
as falls the gaze of love on death, than to
have this infamous doctrine of eternal pun>
ishment true; rather than have this infa-
nous selishness of heaven for few and a
hell for the many established as the word
of God
One world at a time is my doctrine. Let
us make some one happy here. Happiness
is the interest that decent action draws,
and the more decent actions you do, the
larger your income will be. Let every man
try to make his wife happy, his children
happy, Let every man try to make every |
day joy, and God cannot afford to damn
such man, l cannot help God; cannot |
njure God. l can help people; I can in
lure people. Consequently humanity is the
only real religion.
