looking man walked the length of car
without finding an empty seat, and he
slowly returned to Cne occupied by a
lone man, who at once spread himself
out as much as possible, and suddenly
became deeply interes' ed in his newspas

but the other made no movement. Even
after full minute had passed there was
no sign that he meant to share his quar-
ters with the other. Then the farmer
touched bis arm and said:
"If you can hang on long enough

GROWING OLD.
BY W. e. CAMERON.

As we grow old our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant;
We grope, as though in darken'd ways,
Through all that is existent;
Yet far off days shine bright and clear
With suns that have long faded,
And faces dead seem strangely near
To those that life has shaded.
As we grow old our tears are few
For friends most lately taken,
But fall--as falls the summer dew
From roses gently shsken--
When some chance word or idle strain,
The chords Of memory sweeping,
Unlock the foodgates Of our pain
For those who taught US weeping.
As we grow old our smiles are rare
To those who greet us daily.
Or. if some living faces wear
The looks that besmed so gaily
From eyes long closed-and we would smil
In answer to their wooing,
'Tis but the past that shines the while
Our power to smile renewing.
As we grow old our dreams at night
Are never Of the morrow;
They come with vanished pleasure bright,
Or dark with olden sorrow;
And when we wake the. .names we say
Are not of any mortals,
But Of those in some long dead day
Passed through life's sunset portal

BY Holmgren's method, which may be
briefly described as follows:

MR. GARFIELD AND THE RASCAL. x e
The New York Herald, which has

Indiana election, makes this editorial
comment on the denial:
Mr.. Garfield is credited with two let
ters in reference to the epistle attribu
ted to him in relation to the "conserva-
ton OF employers interests; and when
we consider how successfully he has
held his peace in regard to some char
ges made to bis prejudice this seems a
singular fuency. In one epistle be au-
thorizes somebody else 10 denounce the
labor letter as hold forgery and in the
other he wants to send detectives after
The author. For our part we hope the
detectives may catch the author
Though what could be done with him ?
Nothing, perhaps; but then to catch him
would establish the truth OF Mr.. Gar
fields denial. Does Mr.. Garfeld's alle-

When GARrIELD's infamous letter wal
first published some Republican new'pa-
pers champioued the sentiments, others
refused to publish 1t. The honest and
simple minded workingman saw at q
glance that the letter IN ,ant favoritism
to monopolies, protection to rich corpo-
rations and employers, aud starvation
wages to the mechlnic aud laboring
man
Then Republican papers sprang for
ward to deny the authenticity of the let
ter The Cleveland Republican papers
sought GARFIELD, but he would make no
denial. The National Press Association
agent then sought GARFIELD, but he still
refused to deny it. Then the Cleveland
Republican papers sent out denial on
their own authority.
In the meantime workingmen of both
parties we're holding impromptu indigna-
ton meetings and we're denouncing GAR
FIELD and his Infamous doctrine In good
round terms. This frightened The Re-
publican National Committee. Chairman
JEWELL ,elegraphed to Mentor for de-
NAL over Mr.. GAKFIELD's signature, but
the denial came not.
JEWELL BULLDezING GARFIELD.
Then JEWELL began the bulldozing
process, which brought out this dis
patch:
MENTOR. o., Oct. %, 1880.
To Hon. n. Jewell and Hon. 8. W Dorsey:

ed by Masking public reply to campaign

til it's publication l never heard Of the

L. Mvrey. j. GARFIELD.

sey, Secretary.
This was no denial at all 1t simply
authorized another to make the denial.

limited that this dispatch was mere
dodge. He pressed Mr.. GARFIELD for 8
plain, straightforward and explicit denial

ond time, and the bulldczer

desperation JEWELL commanded the As.

dispatch:

He was alovely boy, filing bis home
with much jov and happiness; but there
is a void never to be filled-one that
reaches beyond the parental roof; va

THE CRIMINAL COURT.
A Stir Among Bonded OHiciaIs--.-The
Magistrates Witness Fee Busi-
ness.

The proceedings in the criminal
court, before Judge Horri-
gan, this forenoon, were quite
entertaining and created a
tiutter among various bonded offic-
ers. Among other features was the
action on the subject of peace warrant
witness fees, several hundred of which
accumulated during last summer, and
upon which a claim for fees was made.
The attorney general moved that
the State should not be taxed
with such costs, and that the court
disallow the same. The Judge deci-
ded in favor of the same, and the at
tOrney general appealed the case to the
State Supreme Court. In addition
Judge Horrigan made the fol-
towing a matter of record
"The court is informed by the attor.
ney- general that it has been the Gus
tom of some Of the magistrates Of the
defendants called for subpoenas for
witnesses to include such witnesses
in the subpoena for the State for the
purpose Of taxing the public treas
ury with such costs. If this
information is correct then the
court does not hesitate to say that
magistrates so doing are guilty of a
grave ofense, and furthermore that il
is the duty Of the attorney general
wherever he has knowledge of persons
violating the law in this regard to see
that proper steps are taken to bring
such persons to account.
I Judge Horrigan ordered that coun.
ty trustee Fleece be allowed until the
2ith inst. to make good his bond il
accordance with previous action.
A motion was made to enjoin r. B
Miller from acting as pnblic guardian
and he is allowed to the 10Th inst. to
answer.
The same action followed regarding
+. W. Buttinghaus, a notary public
in place of VIM. Miller deceased,
and against G. L. Pullen, a notary
also against VIM. Quinn and Jno. T
Williams.

POLITICAL ITEMS.

Pittsburg Post: We don't take any
stock in the foolish report that Tilden
and Kelly have kissed and made
friends. 1t is the Tammany and Re
publican factions that have united in
New York city on the basis of an
equal divide of the spoils.
Nast's caricatures on the Maine
business are enjoyable by Democrats,
II they will substitute Louisiana or
Florida for the Pine Tree State.
1t turns out that the Ohio man who
has been appointed postmaster of
Washington is relative of the presl
dents wife. This is nothing against
him, but it was a great deal against
all the other applicants for the Office.
Senator Sharon, the notorious alb
sentee, has just drawn three thousand
dollars of back pay.
Senator Wallace deserves credit for
standing up for a division of the cen
sus supervisors. The Democrats
named are fully equal to the best ON
the Republican side,

exactly why Albert Sidney Johnston
lost the battle of Shiloh and Lee the
battle of Gettysburg. Some of these
grizzled old tacticians who lost their
calling and opportunities of. greatness
by not adopting the military profess
sion in 1861, can tell to-day how the
Southern confederacy might have
walloped the North in ninety days.
Advice is cheap. We get lots OF it
from all quarters, and some abuse.
We can fully comprehend the animus
of such paper as the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, which desires to have
Memphis wiped out and salt sowed
on the ground, SO that all the
cotton trade will go to St.
Louis but we do not exactly
see the motives of papers in our own
State, which seem to take malicious
delight in misrepresenting the state
Of affairs here. We are doing as much
and struggling as heroically as any
people could do under similar circum-
stances, and we have an abiding faith
that these efforts will be crowned
with success, and that new and bet
ter era will soon dawn upon Memphis.
