Sarah Hickman, infant daughter Of II. NJ, and

and seven days,
The death of one little girl is not
an event Of much interest to the
outside world, but ah, what TRACE
DIV IN the household OF which she
was a darling child ! In the flush
of health, to lay down like tired
child after play, and in few hours,
before they could realize the fatal
nature of her disease, to be violent
ly and ruthlcssly torn from the
arms of her mother and father !
Though hor life was short indeed,
her quiet, meek aud aflcctionate
nature, manifested in a hundred lIt-
tic acts and sayings which recolloc-
ton now teartuIly brings to mind,
and all Of them eyinclng thought
and feelings not to be expected IN
one so young had given her more
of the love of the household than
any of its members were conscious
of, Til death entered and took her
from them. Though she suffered
intensely, not Il word OF complaint
escaped her lips, and when she be-
came unconscious Of all around her,
she began to sing in strange weird
tones, the same songs she often sang
when in life and health while play
ing about the house, or wandering
about in search Of morning glores;
and thus like the dying Swan, her
sweet melody was sure presagc
that she would soon, too soon, be
separated by death from all earthly
ties. One incident will not soon
be forgotten, nor ought 1t 10 be
While those who were leaning over
the dying child, were stricken to
the heart with sympathetic grief,
as they watched the prolonged ago
ny of her suil,crings, yet in the very
instant of her death, beautiful
smile lighted up her sweet face, and
left its impress there alter herpure
soul had escaped the agony OF death,
and all was over. No human artist
could have moulded IN wax, iniaG-
/ ule features wroathcd with such an
angelic smllc so natural, so pom
sive, so peaceful in expression.
May IT not be, that when about to
Weld her liillo tenement Of clay, her
redeemed spirit caught through The
mists of time, a glimpse Of the shin
ing face of Hin, who said, "suiter

that Grant has had, and perhaps

The marshal with a posse followed
them some eight or ten miles ana
captured them; brought them back
and after an examination, before
two magistrates, they were com

Ohio and Indiana Election

The news, through tho Memphis
papers of the 18th inst, from Ohio
and Indiana is not the most encour-
aging. Yet it might have been
worse. As it is, we are not white.
washed, by a good deal. Ohio, un-
doubtedly has gone republican, but
by what majority has not yet been
ascertained owing to the meager
returns. Indiana is claimed by the
republicans by 5000 majority, but
on the other hand the democrats
claim that the returns don't show
it. The following IS the latest to
the Memphis Ledger:
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 13, IL m.-
Returns from 420 voting precincts
gave a democratic vote OF $3.50
republican, -, ,347 national, 37l2.
The same places in 1876 gave DEM

national, 25Ol. Net republican
gam on the vote OF 1876, 36iS. The
now claim the state by
1000 majority. Carol county COM
plete gave democratic majority of

turns from the first congressional
district indicate a very close vote

will take at least n hundred years
for the history of that raid to be

| Churchill was total abstainer
but il he chooses to drink, and keeps
sober, we are not for ostraclsing

he does not see with the same eyes
that we do: nor do we believe that

nor do we believe that president
Palmer would endorse q drunkard

The Banner would hardly consider
John b. Cough as sound tempe
rance man, because Cough in his
speech at his reception by the Ma
tional Temperance Society, Of Oct.
80, 1879, said he bad got rid Of that
feeling that if people did not lun
in his channel, they were all wrong;
and if out Of his groove, they were
out OF the way and hence, while a
total abstainer himself, ho said he
was glad to see men taking the
moderate drinking pledge, which
was bringing them into the ranks
of temperance workers. We have
advocated temperance TO our cost ;
and if we had not have conscien-
tiously believed that prohibition at
this time, was a wild, visionary and
mpracucablc scheme, only ca!cu-
lated TO ruin the temperance cause
in lis infancy, we might have look
ed with more favor upon it. Ar
guments and appeals to the higher
and better feelings of our people
had just began its glorious work,
and was triumphantly proceeding
upon its mission of grace, mercy
and peace, and finding its way to
all hearts, when the prohibitionist
pushed himself to the front, ap-
pointed himself dictator, and at
once proclaimed himself the true
shekigq4, the visible glory of the
Temperance cause--"none genuine
without his name blown IN the bot.
tle." We for one, were little TAX
en- aback by the pretentions OF the
pIohibitionlst, especially as we
never heard of him until the tenn
pcrancc work had been fully inau-
gurated without his help, and was
booming all over the state. Talk
about the Tires only making a pa
radc of temperance when there is
no enemy in sight! During the
last canvass the Times was bitterly
denounced in almost every precinct
IN the county, because it advocated
sober men for Office, and If we are
not mistaken, 1t was the first pepper
in the state to take an open stand
in favor of temperance reform. 1t
stands to day where it has always
stood from the beginning, and IN

ed with the motto, "sUbor men tor

copied with approval IN the Banner.
Have you forgotten how often your
scissors did duty among the columns

out of sight then? The truth
is, you think temperance and

you. 1t may be u remote consc-
