More precious than the ointment that
ran down upon the beard of Aaron-that
went down even to the skirts of his gars
ments; more reviving than the dew of
Hermon that descended upon the noun
tains of Zion, is the ineffable peace and
pleasant unity with which the Demo
Gratis and Greenbackers of Lyon county
mum went off halfcocked and telegraph
ed the premature intelligence of Flu
sion victory in Maine over the country,
there was mutual rejoicing in the Green
back and Democratic camps of EmpOria,
and the luminosity of Tom Wibley's
face was only equalled by the pure
joy that TRANSPORTED the glowing
visage of Perry B. Maxson. When the
back counties of the Pine Tree state be-
gan to report Republican gains, and the
indications pointed to the election
of Davis, the flowing beard of. the i'm
posing Randolph swept the ground,
while the elongated phiz of John Wat
son gave simultaneous evidence of the
j ImPsnetrable gloom that had shut out
theft gf1b ORA .failacious hope. When
IawOaplayed-out Republican hacks, in the
PERSONS of Col, sSf06H1ight and Elder
Mitchell visited Emporia, and reviled
the only associations. that ever gave eth.
er of them a claim to responsibility, the
Democrats took as kindly to the political
lpabalpn diARehsdAihy this precious pair
81 renegades as If they had been treated
ttgsthS sihGers milk of the word by a
brace of consistent, lifelong Bourbons,
and the Greenbackers manifested the
same appropriating faith in the teach
ings of these interesting evangelists.
Moonlight perfectly reflected the views
of Mitchell, and the Elder was in such per.
feet accord with Moonlight, that the
two tarried after the hoodoo on Saturday
night to exchange congratulations and
swap saliva. Ever since this period Of
oratorial refreshing, old Dad FALSELY has
Wed with Brother Heatherington in the
breadth, radiance and angelic sweetness
of his smile, and, take it all in all, we
have never seen such an amicable com
bination as the Lyon county fusion
since Barnum astonished the world viii
his happy family of copperheads and
blow-snakes all in one case

eighty head of threr-year-old steers al
five cents per pound, gross, weighing

$3.50 per head, aggregating $1,000
Mr.. yelling, who has shipped cattle
from Kansas for fifteen years, says thi:
is the best lot ever sent out of the state
If anybody can beat it we should like
to hear from them. The cattle were
raised by Mr.. Bennett on his large steck
farm near Elinor- They were from
three fourths to full blooded.
