A Sad StarY of SAKE.

The sad statement is made that John
Godfrey SAKE has succumbed to melan-
cholia, and that he is an affecting exam
pie of mental suffering. As a poet and
lecturer MI. SAKE has given 80 much
pleasure to SO many that the fact of his
intellectual disorder will excite much
sympathy and regret. Mr.. SAKE first
appeared as a poet in the old Knicker-
booker Magazine, in 1S43. His first
deep mark was made in a poem called
Progress a satire, and since then he
has become well known as a humorous
poet, sketch-writer and lecturer. Born
in Franklin county, VT, in 1916, Mr..
SAKE was admitted to the bar in 1843,
in his 9th year. Not long after he re-
moved to Burlington, VT, and became
editor and owner of the Sentinel,
which he managed with success and
popularity. He was the formal and
iun-loving candidate of a hopeless mi
lority for Governor for several years in
succession. About fifteen years ago
Nr. SAKE removed to this State, prac-
Icing law in New York and residing in
First place, Brooklyn. Reverses have
overtaken the gentleman of late years,
and painful illnesses have befallen him
and members of his family. He denies
himself to his dearest friends. His
gloom is absolute and beyond relief
albany argus.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-06-19

" He thus founded a system by which
can be told, more surely than by any
other methods, the quantity, the quality
and the time of yield of any COW. These
rules are applicable to calves and bulls,
for by themit can be told whether it will
pay to raise a calf or dispose of it, and
whether a bull if likely to get milking
progeny. Thus there can be a great
saving effected and a great improvement
in the herds, not only by purchasing the
best, but by breeding and raising only
the best.
In certain points the system is in
fallible, and in others it may so depend
on the judgment of the practiser as to
make the system appear a fault. The
infallible point is that a cow having a
fist-class escutcheon with soft, oleagin-
GUS skin on it, and with short fine hair,
is invariably a first-class cow in every
respect. And just SO much as she varies
from that class just SO much is the
quantity and quality of her yield af-
fected."

Pete,s Revenge.

Pete Mccartney, formerly a very sue
cessful counterfeiter, has for three years
been o convict in the Illinois State pris-
on, where he is to remain seven years
longer. On being convicted, he gave
$4,000 to his pretty wife, to live on un-
til he could rejoin her, and she prom
ised to wait faithfully for his release;
but-she lately made up her mind to get
a divorce from him and marry Dr.. Ma
son, with whom she had fallen in love.
Mccartney learned OF her INCONSISTENCY,
and determined to have his revenge.
He employed accomplices toinyolve the
physician in a charge of passing coun-
terfeit money, and then went on the
stand as a witness for the prosecution
with a story of former partnership in
the printing of bogus treasury notes.
The prisoner only got out of the scrape
by bringing a score of patients to prove
an alibi.

A Big

A gigantic picture, representing the
battle of Waterloo, is in course of axe
cution at Brussels. The canvas meas
ures 115 metres in circumference and
14t metres in height, so hat its super
fees represents 1861 square metres.
The artists, who are under the direction
of Nj. C~astellani, are installed in one of
the vast workshops of the Pauwels Com
pany. The painting is done a third at
a time. The portion now under the
brush is hat on which the Belle-Alliance
farmstead is shown, with the corpses OF
Highlanders and French lying thick on
the ground, a spot where a desperate
struggle took place. Further on we see
the battalions of the Guard executing
their last charge, and then forming the
celebrated square. Napoleon, On his
white horse, is in the center of the
square, surrounded by his staff.

Iowa state Convention.

The Republican State Convention of Iowa
meth Des NJ ines, and Gov. Gear and Lieut..
Gov. Campbell we're nominated BY acclama.
tim. Both gentlemen were notified and
brought before the convention to address it,
which they did in short and
earnest speeches. On the third
ballot for Supreme Judge, when
Beck's vote had reached 4l0, and Ruddick's
219, the nomination of Beck was made upan-
imous. Mr.. Won Coellen was nominated
for Superintendent OF Public Instruction.
The Committee on Platform, Hon. James F.
Wilson, Chairman, submitted their report,
which was adopted with amendment.
1t declares this country is a nation, not a
confederation OF States; d~enounces the at.
tempt in Congress to repeal the election
laws, which repeal would subject voters to
the domination of the bulldozing elements
of the Southern States, and to repeating
and fraud in New York City, and elsewhere.
The opposition to sucn attempts, made by
congressman, and by the President in his
veto, is accorded profound commentator.
The threat of "No money for the army" is
the echo of the same threat made during the
rebellion, and the end will be the same.
The governuent of the Union could not be
beaten to death, and can not be starved to
death. The financial policy of the Republi-
can party is approved of, and its results
are a source of pride. The following senti-
ments are approved: The public debt and
interest shall be paid in honest money. To
this end the circulation should be kept at
its largest practicable volume, and the
paper currency be maintained at par. No
more Congressional tinkering with
the finances, SO that our indus
tries mays4s be revived aud
the general welfare promoted. The profits
of coinage should inure to the government,
and not to the bullion owners. A wisely
adjusted tariff for revenue is favored, as
also strict economy in taxes and expendi-
lures, such a reduction and equalization Of
official salaries as shall place public officers
on an equality with similar persons in
private employment. The platform renews
gratitude to the soldiers and sailors of
the late war, and ~denounces their removal
by Democrats in Congress and the appoint
ment in their stead of Confederate soldiers

A Growing Dog.

There is a curiosity at the little vii
lage of Brandon, North Texas, in the
shape of q growing dog. The animal
has generally made his couch in the
chicken house, directly under the
roost. 1t seems that the dog had be-
come so accustomed to the periodical
nocturnal Growing of his friends, the
ROSTERS, that, through sheer imitation,
he has got to Growing as regularly as
they. At the midnight growing the
canine begins with his feathered fellow
dodgers, and crows rs long as any of
Il en-; and so accurate an imitation does
he make of it that his master, Mr..
brandon, though standing right over
him, cannot tell his Growing from a real
cocks. The perfection of the dog in
bis new role is quite astonishing.--St.

A Deadwood dispatch says that at Buffalo

Beaver Creek, caused by a water squirt,
eleven persons were drowned. Their names
were Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Rhodes, Oliver

rerrihIa Fnresi Flre..

The Saginaw Mich Courier says that the
latest reports are to the effect that recent
forest fires in Michigan were terribly de.
structiye, not only to standing timber but
to logs along the lines of logging railroads
and at different rollways. A portion of the
tract numbered by Gerrish & Co. last winter
is located in town 1876, about ten miles
north of Farwell, and this tract was the
scene Of a terrible woods ~confagration on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Five of
the numbered sections were completely
burned over before the fire communicated
to four million feet of logs at the rollways ON
the shores of Lakes Smith and George,
all of which in due course of time
were reduced to ashes. The loss OF Gerrish
& Co. can not fall short of $4,000, and later
information may increase the estimate con-
siderably. Godfrey Dershnah, one of Ger
rish's jobbers, who had five million feet of
logs at one of the railways not delivered,
had-a gang of eighteen men employed in 6e-
Tending his logs, the destruction Of which
meant his financial ruin, and at one time
the men were so completely hemmed in by
flames that escape seemed impossible. They
