CARSON, Nevada, Jan. 80, 1880.

LARSON NtNauA, JAH oor lSoc-
Nv Dear Old Friend-I perceive by report
that you are one Of the uneonstttntional mem
beers Of that horrible body Of men who have
forced the innocent lambs of shepherd Garce-
lon from the green bed of clover which he
and his pious Council had cultivated for their
especial nutriment, the present winter. ]
can hardly conceive why the republicans of
Maine should be so cruel, and thus turn the
representatives. of the poor democracy into
the street at this Indictment season, compel
ling them TO roosf upon the fence Of the capt.
toll. No wonder they adjourned till August.
A. at that time the weather will have moder-
ated. and there will be less risk of being
stuck by frost to the ir.n rail Of the fence. II
il quite probable, however, that many Of
those who are now on the fence will conclude
that the roosting place Of the democracy is
not the most desirable in the country, and
that it will be quite impossible to get suff-
cient quantity Of greenbacks to make a com
Portable nest in which to lay their presi-
Dental eggs the coming season. /
sincerely hope the law makers Of your
State will so modify the election law
IA to take the power from the hands
Of heads of departments to determine who the
people have elected tn the various Offices
within the State. Let the returns of the town
and city authorities settle the question of
election, and not give few partisans the
privilege of making the ms and outs at their
pleasure. But see the right has prevailed,
and the republicans have control of the State
government. which | hope they may keep and
see, too, that cooperative authorities leave
no more loop-holes in their returns by which
=. e. s. Is.,,,
the people. The coming presidential cleo
tion will be one of the most strongly con-
tested the country has ever experienced. i
cannot believe that Grant will stand the test,
as there is not sufficient unanimity to insure
his election, and he certainly should not
risk his great popularity on the cast of a
third term die should he take the risk and
be defeated, it would take from him all the
larrcls which now entwine around him.
cannot believe that for the little additional
honor a third term would bestow. he vii take
such risk With us. Blaine is the standing
man. and will get the vote Of Nevada and
California, and would to-day poll two to one
rs against Grant, as very many object to a
third term President. As for Sherman, he
could not possibly get the vote Of Nevada,
and there are hundreds of strong republicans
who would vote for democrat in preference
True our vote is small. but was sufficient to
have turned the last election, and there is a
strong probability that the coming will be
equally close. Let us hope then that the
most available candidate will be given us
one on whom the whole party can combine,
and by so doing retain the government in the
power of the republicans. who have thus far
| saved and sustained it.

The Daily Standard spreads before its
readers with great satisfaction an article
copied from the Newport Times. in which
Mayor Frank +. Nye is represented as
having been intoxicated recently at New
port. II Is the misfortune of some persons
to be born with an uncomfortable appetite
for strong drink. For this they are not
responsible. II is an impulse engrafted
upon their constitutions and against which
they are powerless to contend. A man
who Is n man in heart and principle

The trial of Edward Curley, who killed
John Cunning, at Centralia, during the time
of the Molly Mcguire lawlessness in the
coal regions, has been in progress in Blooms
burg, Columbia county, since last week.
The killing of Cunning was brought about
in this way; Curley kept saloon, and Gun,
ming went there with basket of blackber.
res, which he sold to Mrs. Curley for a
drink. She found, on examining the Der.
res, that the basket in which they were had
been half filled with leaves and the berrie:
placed ON top. This so incensed the WON.
gu that, on her husbands return home, she
Informed him of the fact, and the conse,
quenee was the death of Cunning by being
struck GA the head with stone.
After the murder Curley fled from the
country and went to Ireland, but returned
after some years and delivered himself up
Among the witnesses placed ON the stand
was Mrs. Cunning and Manus McBrerty

Lehigh This beautiful stream was before
me. Its waters were rolling silently but
steadily towards the mighty sea. They are
here-they are gone-never, never to re-
turn. Every drop is there as pure and per-
ennial as when gliding at my feet.
The star that melts away into the light Of
heaven, when the brighter sun rises on the
world or the star that goes down behind the
western hills or the sun itself, that sets in
glory, is gone, but to shine again with equal
or brighter lustre.
A dsconsolate female came 10 the grave OF
her best beloved friend, and as she saw that
his precious remains were gone, she cried;
"They have taken away lord and know
not where they have laid him." She thought
in her sorrow, as most of the bereaved are
wont to think, that she had lost her ALI
when one stood before her and said, "Mary,"
and the joy of life from the dead burst in
rapture on her soul. 1t was the voice Of her
beloved. He was "gone but not lost"
A believer writes this inscription over the
ashes of a departed saint, And is that saint
lost? In mine is found clod of earth
that contains gem of great valuo. 1t If

gems. And now it sparkles on the bosom
of the queen, or shines radantly in the roy

Monarch of the universe could find, in the
darkness of this lower world, gems that IN
finite skill can polish for his use, shall we
count them lost when He makes up his jew

They are not lost who die in Christ. They

dead, as though they were lost. In the hope
of a joyful resurrection, commit their ashes
to their kindred dust, and write over them
"Gone but not lost" W. 10.
