 GESu.HMEN-I have had the hon. or to receive your letter of the Sd in- stant covering resolunons of ca ioiat caucus of the Democratic mem oers Of tbe general assembly of the State of Illinois" " IL is hardly ne- cessary for me to say, taat 1 an in favor of the perfect freedom of cleo tons from the interference or the presence Of any part of the army al the polls, because that opinion vas emphasieaIly expressed on the floor of the Senate.
 This is a government of civil ad- thority. founded on the constitution  and the laws made in pursuance thereof. One of the grievances of 1 which our forefathers complained was that the king had quarterec troops on them and sought by mili- tary power 10 coerce them into sub mission.

A thirty minutes drive took the IT, ner man over q rough road to Clark & Adams saw mill, six miles west of Preseatt On the route he passed Thumb Butte. which has so many at fractions for the young beaux of Pres colt who are familiar with the apex or this prominent land mark. At the mill he found several buildings used by the employees fine large Struct- u4'e in which he bcheld all the ma- chinery necessary to manufacturing lumber, new shingle machine, etc. Tie yard which contains several acres, is filed with an assortment of lumber and huge logs, which are to be subjected to a dissecting process by the mammoth machinery which has done much in the way of tearing into fragments the giant pine trees that have been guarded for many decades by the majestic Butte which over looks the country for miles around. Messrs. Clark X Adams have shipped large quantities to the southern coun- try. Several teams were camped near the lumber yard, preparing to load lumber for Seymour, Phoenix and other l I,ccs.

FORTY YEARS AGO.
WRITTEN EXPRESSLY FOR THE HER
 AID.

How wondrouS are the changes, Jim
 Since forty years ago; When girls wore woolen dresses, Jim
 And boys wore pants of tow; When shoes were made of calf-skin, And socks of home-spun wool, And children did q half days work
 Before the hour of school. The girls took music lessons, Jim,
 Upon the spinning wheel; And practiced late and early, Jim,
 On the spindle, swift, and reel; The boys would ride bareback to mill A dozen miles or so, And hurry off before twas day;
 Some forty years ago. The people rode to meeting, Jim,
 On sleds instead of sleighs, And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
 As buggies nowadays; And oxen answered well for teams, Though now they'd be too slow; For people lived not half so last,
 Some forty years ago, Oh, well do remember, Jim,
 That Wilson's patent stove, That father bought and paid for In cloth the girls had wove; And how the neigh bors wondered Jim When we got the thing 10 go, They said 'twould burst and kill us
 all;
 Some forty years ago. Yes, everything is different, Jim, From what it used to was; For men are always tampering, Jim, With Gods great, natural laws; But what on earth we're coming to, Does anybody know? For everything has changed so much Since forty years ago.

WE WILL HAVE THE PAY OR KEEP OUR
 GOODS!

We hereby notify our friends and the public generally that from this time forth we will cease to sell for credit on any terms whatever. We are aware that in order to do this we will have to sell cheaper than our neigh bors, and we are prepared to do so. AS we are building we are very much pressed for cash, and therefore 1t will be better for us to sell for cost than to sell on ever so short a time, no Klatter how good the buyer. The facts in the case are just these; it is a necessity with Us to have our goods or to have the wherewith to buy more. Of course we do not expect to do so much business, but we are de termined to do what we can.
 Our Lumber Yard is now full and nearly com plete.

How to See the Wind.

Take a polished metallic sur
face of two feet or more, with a
straight edge--a large hand-saw
will answer the purpose. Take
a windy day, whether hot or
cold, clear or cloudy, on.y let it
not rain or the air be murky in
other words let the air be dry
and clear, but this is not essen
tial. Hold your metallic surface
at right angles to the direction
of the wind. e., if the wind is
north, hold your surface east
and west, but instead of holding
the surface vertical, incline it
about forty-five degrees to the
horizon, so that the wind strik-
ing glances and flows over the
edge Creeping it straight) as
water over dam. Now sight
over the edge at some
minute and sharply defined OBJ
.ject, and you will see the air
flows over as water flows over a
dam. Make your observations
carefully,and you will hardly fail
to see the air, no matter how
cold; the result is even better
when the sun is obscured.

How Senter Cam ? to be
Governor.

Gen. Mabry confided to me a
number of historical facts under
seal of secrecy, but | did not un-
derstand him to include the sto-
ry of how Senter became Cover
nor Of Tennessee. "You see" "
said the General, between the
sips of pink and spicy drink,
"there were two candidates for
the Republican nomination in
1868. They were Stokes and
Senter. Twas for Senter. When
we reached Nashville we saw
that the Stokes men outnumber-
ed us, and we saw that it was
all essential that a Senter man
should be elected chairman of
the convention. So, early by day
break, Senter men, Liberal Re
publicans, went up and got pos
session of the hall and put old man
Thos. III. Pearne in the Speak
er's chair. At the hour appoin-
ted all the delegates were in
their places, and, it being in Or
der, vote was taken for chair
man, and the Stokes men out
voted us and elected Roderick
Random Butler chairman. | had
a hurried conversation with Dave
Nelson. You don't know Dave?I
Well, he is not very tall, but he's
a good one and weighs two hum
dred pounds-and fight! why,
Dave will fight a hive Of bees in
his shirt tail, he'll fight a buzz
saw, so l said to Dave, "You goI
up there to the Speakers stand
and hit Roderick Random be-
tween the teeth" SO Dave goes
up ai;li I froJiiiiowed him, and sure
enough he. hit Roderick Random
an awful one in the mouth, and
as Butler went for his pistol Il
caught his arm and drew my own
and levelled it at him. The del
egates left the hall without their
hats. The next day two nomi-
nations were made, one (Senter)
by the liberals, and the other
(Stokes) by the Radicals. The
Democrats joined the Liberals,
and Senter was elected" Sol
much for Gen. Mabry's manner
Of nominating a Governor.
