CANDIDATES FOB Some two
thousand men appear to want cierkships in
the Legislature. People living in Virginia
City, Gold Hill and Reno will confer favor
by ceasing to write confidential csmmunica-
tisns on the subject, as the influence of this
paper or its editor with Democratic Legis
laturs is nil and time is valuable. Parties
who wish to get cards printed however, for
distribution among the members, will always
get respectful hearing. We have laid in a
large stock, and have facilities for doing the
work at ed-rock figures.

ting that the Chronicle was the heaviest gun
in the State campaign on either side. A paper
that can take forlsrn hope, pull it through
and plant its flag square in what has been
locked upon as impenetrable entertainments
must have plenty of brains and experience
behind it. The Democracy ought t" put the

The bear, which was six-months-old grizzly

the dog a savage cross between a mastitf and
bull dog and turned the scale at 80 pounds.
The two fought several rounds aud some of
their wrestling bouts were wonderfully inter-

ated for breathing spell and then those of
the audience who wished to try their dogs
metal were allowed to do So Several big
mastiffs were turned loose on the bear, and
finally the bear got away from his chain and
with Sheriff Hills dog charged about among
the audience. The confusion was indescrib
able and the fun so hilarious that for while
it seemed as if the crowd of spectators would
fall to pieces laughing. When the bear
chased Bosko aud Chris Zabriskie around the
hall the fun was at it's best and those
witnessed the scene vowed that 500 was
dir: cheap for so good show. The dog and
bear fought half dozen rounds without any
serious injury to either At the close III

Sharon did not put up q dollar for the Com

THOUGHTS ON ALL SAINTS
DAY.
November l, 1891

As I walked DER the clone city
of the dead" this eve, I saw gay
crowds and bright faces; also many
SD ones. Many came with trib-
utes to the memory OF lost rela-
tives and friends, who slumber
peacefully here. Although it was
almost impossible to obtain flowers,
the hands of loving remembrance
had tastefully formed adornments
for the graves. The beautiful cross,
emblem Of faith; the anchor, en-
blsm of hope: the evergreen wreath,
emblem of the crown of glory pre-
pared for us in Heaven; all were
there, and also some very beautiful
flowers.
Lovely, typical flowers,
Telling OF that high life
That the soul holds in Heaven. e
When freed from earth's strife"
I wended my way on and sadly
unused, as / looked Ger the graves
of the many friends I had known in
sunny days OF yore." Their voices
were once gay and joyous; their
eyes once shone bright and clear;
but I hear them and see them no
more on earth. Their work here IL
done. Their voices now are heard
amid the seraphic choir; their eyes
rest on heavenly scenes, but their
memory is ever fresh and green.
And from their graves
"We linger as we turn away,
We weep as we depart.
And memories, both sweet and sad,
Come crowding Ger our hearts.
ErrIE.

Beneath bright and glowing sky
This queenly village stands,
Where evergreens relieve the eye,
Amid her crystal sands.
Whore Ocean washes to her shore
The treasures Of the seas.
And murmuring music doateth Ger
The cooling. healthful breeze.
The red. rooted cottage by the way.
The cattle on the plain;
The bridge that spans the spacious bay.
The laundering railway train;
The orange. with its golden fruit:
The bay tree, with its flowers;
And waving pines. that seem 70 shoot
Amid celestial bowers.
How Oft, upon some rising spot,
I've gazed upon the scene;
The valley, with its shady grot,
The trees in changeless green;
While Ocean, with her mighty sweep.
Gains down upon thy strand,
And "old Deer Island seems to keep
The gate to this fair land.
How oft I've spread the whitened sail,
Where sportive mullets play;
Or gazed with rapture ON the gale,
That tossed the foaming spray.
The sea gull, nesting ON the wave,
Or screaming high in air;
The petrol. with her visage grave
The pelican's sad stare.
Oh how delightful It's to lave
Beneath thy rolling seas;
To sport amid the crested wave,
And drink the healing breeze.
There's music in the boisterous deep,
That dashes on the lea;
And even when her pillows sleep,
She means sweet melody.
Here earth and ocean seem combined,
To fill the ravishcd eye:
A fairer spot we ne'er shall fnd
Beneath the Southern sky.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
cov1xeroN, LA, Nov. 8, 1880.

luo DAttlo IL over Inc miSuty,
Titanic struggle has ceased. and
the field is strewn with the shat
tersd hopes OF Democracy, and the
fair expectations of good citizens
are blasted. The wrong has tri-
umphed over right. and the I'd OF
November witnessed the dawn of
new era of political corruption and
decentralization. That a candidate.
not only accused but convicted OF
bribery and corruption, should have
been chosen to Eli the highest posi-
ton in the gift OF the American
people, is a convincing fact that
honesty and pure personal record
is no longer necessary to the as
pirant for the honors Of the Chief
Magistracy, Whose life. of all the
prominent personages in our pres
ent political history, is so pure, SO
devoi.l of all blemish, as that of
Winfield Scott Hancock? None.
His escutcheon is as fair as the
spotiess snow. Yet a man sunk as
low in morality as James A. Gar
field defeated him. Can we of the
South longer indulge in the fond
picture of entire reconstruction we
had painted ? Scarcely. For our
cousins of the North have inst told
us, with terrific emphasis, that we
must not for one moment think
that the past is fore often and for
given. They ask us to forget and
forgive, but when the time comes
to prove that all sectional preiu-
dicss and animosities are buried,
their long pent-up wrath and black
hatred burst forth, and almost to o
State the North has told. on the I'd
of November, that the olive branch
OF peace. extended by the South,
would not be accepted, nay, that
olive branch was plucked rudely
from our hands and trampled in
the dust.
The South nobly redeemed the
promise made at the Cincinnati
Convention. There was no waver-
ing in the solid line-13S she prom
Used. and 1873 she gave. She has
learned q lesson she is not likely to
forget What Gettysburg was to
the Lost Cause-what Sedan was
to the Second Empire-the last cleo
ton was to the fair expectations we
have so long INDUCED. The North
says complete reconciliation is i'm
possible, and nothing is left Us but
Ia accept the decree.
We have long extended the hand
Of friendship-we have begged to
forget and bury the past. These
advances on our part were met with
specious promises aud false pro-
tsstations of amity-redeemed how?
We need not ask.
| Let the South look to her inter-
nal improvements. Let rs work
honestly and stoutly to regain our
former wealth and grandeur. Let
us elect to home Offices men OF
known integrity and probity, and
all will be we'll with us. If the
North prefers corruption to moral
ity. well and good. Do not dis
turb her in her choice. Let us
remember that our beautiful South,
although unfortunate and Impov-
erished. has now thrown off CON-
pletely the shackles of carpet-bag-
ism. aud is on the high road to
prosperity. All work together, and
that prosperity is assured. Soone,
\ or later the North will recognize
her error, and she will then extend
the hand of friendship 60 the South
Let us await that time.

SHEEP AND BERMUDA GRASS.
By ". R. STEWART, OF MISSISSIPPI.

By ". R. STEWART, OF MISSISSIPPI.
I regard Bermuda grass and
sheep as the coming salvation for
such lands as have been worn to un-
plo6tablsness by the unscientifc
culture of cotton. Thousands such
acres of land in the hill counties OF
Mississippi and Louisiana are COW
cred With Bermuda, the best OF oil
grasses for stock, az stock Of most
kinds prefer it to anything in the
grass line that grows.
1t is the first in the spring that
puts out, and last in winter to die;
when slightly protected BY trees
that do not make heavy shade, it
remains green in winter, affording
the finest pasturage for cattle and
sheep.
If one has his plantation well
set in Bermuda grass, he is we'll
prepared to make money. and can
restore his lands to there original
fertility, and make more money than
If planting four times the area in
cotton. For the farmer OF the
South The raising Of sheep il more
profitable enterprise. No animal,
except the goat, will live and thrive
with SO little care and attention;
they are at the same time the best
fertilizers. and are also good at
wedding, As they feed upon many
plants that are pests, and are hard
to destroy. Poor land will furnish
good pastures for sheep. and win
improve so readily that it may be
brought to q high state Of eultiva-
ton in few years.
The fleece, under the most un-
favorable conditions, will more than
pay for the cost aud care of raising
the sheep. And where is there any
thing better to the palate than
nice fat lamb. either fried or roasted.
boiled or baked? No other flesh 10
equal to it. or SO wholesome, for
either young or old, sick or well, in
this climate. But the selling of
the carcass should be a secondary
consideration. although that will
pay handsomely in spring and fall.
The best animals should be Sc

You are rich if you have 100 acres
