There's sadness in the Union camp,

Small gains for many weary tramp
The forage wagons show;
Yet in their leader, stanch and brave,
Firm faith the soldiers feel,
Quick-witted, cool and strong to save
They've Garfield at the wheel!
And yet, to-day, those valiant ones
Have missed their noble chief;
From rank to rank the whisper runs,
He goes to bring relief
Ere long each well-filled haversack
Shall plenteous stores reveal
Courage! we soon shall see him back,
We've Garfield at the Wheel"
"'Tis death the swollen stream to trust.'
The trembling sailors cry;
"At duty's call embark we must!"
The General makes reply.
Wild currents veX the laboring barge,
And quicksand clog her keel,
Rut safe to port she brings her charge
'Twas Garfield at the whell!
What though athwart our peaceful skies
Portentous shapes are thrown,
Disgraceful arts Corruption plies,
And Factions blast Is blown;
Victorious DER the raging tides
The good ship Commonweal
Full-freighted into har Dor glides,
With Garfield at the wheel! S. p

DURING the early days of the war,
when Gen. Garfield was engaged in prod
ding up the rebel Humphrey Marshall,
just to see how fast he could travel, it is
related that supplies at Garfeld's camp
began to run low. The rivers were swol-
len by heavy rains, and Garfield went
down the river from camp, and tried to
employ small steamboat to haul sup
plies to the hungry camp The Captain
of the boat refused, saying that it would
be impossible to stem the current during
such flood. Garfield, becoming impa-
tient, put the Captain and crew on deck,
placed military guard over them to
keep them at work, and himself took the
wheel, turned the boat up stream, and
struck out for camp, which, after several
he reached. This incident gave
rise to the following song:

The Years are Passing BY.

The years are passing hyl
We watch, as from an. open door,
Their passage through Times corridor;
Each shadow, in its falling, slopes
Across the grave Of buried hopes;
The pnlse of being slowly beats
Through Winters snow, through summers meats,
And faith and hope and love grow cold
As we grow old-as we grow old!
The years are passing byl
The years are passing by
Times record hath such pages blurred,
With hasty deed, with bitter word;
Such sad mistakes mark all life's years
We scarce can read, because Of tears;
We see dead faces on the walls.
We hear dead voices in the halls,
We touch some hands on Blended knee,
We kiss some lips we cannot see
The years are passing by!
The years are passing by
They carry with them as they go
The rain, the sunshine and the snow;
They leave behind the DRIFT days
Wherein each soul some penance pays;
Some hopes we have, but not our own,
Some loves cherish, not alone;
And there are leaves and faded flowers
That tell sad tales In memory's hours.
The years are passing by!
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1880-06-24
The wears are passing by

The seal of silence on our lips
We closer press. Times umbra dips
To deeper darkness down the lane
Through which we walk to hide our pain.
We smile and smile as one who bears
A life untouched by grief or cares,
But when in solitude we wait,
We bow our head at sorrows gate.
The years are passing byt

The years are passing by!
Another Joins our passing band!
Oh, is there not some other land
Where compensation for all ills
The measure of life's being fillsl
We wait the answer, but in vain,
The shadow falls; n sense of pain
Rests on us wheresoe'er we go
And whispers of the sod and snow.
The years are passing by!

TIE COURIER contained a notice
last week about a scandal at Jeifer-
son., and since then the affair has
fully developed. We withheld names
SO that we would not do the parties
concerned an injury providing they
were innocent, but since they have
made a confession we shall give the
facts as they are. Last fall DR.. A.
Romeson and q lady anne to Jefier-
son and the doctor began the prac-
tice of his profession. For a time
all moved serenely and quietly, but
a few weeks ago a party canic from
Canada, who at once recognized
Romesom as a DR.. Arthur Mareese-
anx whom he had known some
years ago, He also stated that ths
doctor had a wife and two children
in Canada, and that he was not mar
ried to the woman with whom ht
was living. Last week DR.. Marco
seanx confessed that Romesom wa
not his name and that he was no
married to the woman whom IL
claimed as his wife. The confession
was follwed by the disappearance Q
the woman. The case has created
no little sxcitsmsnt in Jefferson.

A young man working in Grill &
Cos. mill had a very narrow escape
last week from a terrible death. He
went out to the waterwheel to oil
some of the machinery, and as it
was raining quite hard he threw a
sack around his neck. While stoop-
ing, the wind blew the sack around
a large shaft which was then revolv-
ing at the rate of forty revolutions
per minute. He was instantly drawn
to the shaft, aud threw himselfo on it
to keep from being strangled to
death. It was impossible for him
t, free himself, ard to save his life he
revolved with the shaft. In a short
time a son of Mr.. Grill in going to
the dam, discovered the young man,
and informed his father who shut of
the water. When rescued he was
nearly dead, and could not have
held on much longer. He was so
benumbed by the rapid revolution
oTthe shaft that he could not stand.
and his nerves were in a terrible con-
dition. His escape is truly miracu.

THERE is a young couple in this
city at present undergoing a terrible
seige of courtship. One night last
week he was kicked out OF the wood
shed, and last Sunday evening he
was discovered sitting on a pile OF
dry goods boxes, throwing apples
into a yard near by. The old man
saw the trick, and laid seige to that
pile Of boxes. Soon he opened up 9

tatces, and the way the young mar
hoped over an adjoining fence and
crawled under a wood-shed, would
make q racer weep. The young
lady reluctantly gave the apples z
her father.

THE most exciting part OF the cau-
Gus last Saturday evening was the
contest between J. A. Wallace and
VIM. Hodges for street comnlls-
sioner. Three years ago the same
parties had a lively seige on the city
Justice question, and Wallace beat
Hodges about a dozen votes. Since
then there has quite a feeling exis-
ted between the parties; so last SAT-
urday night the contest was renew
ed, and resulted in a victory for
Hodges. The office is one OF the
smallest within the gift -four people
and the way Wallace got LETT does
not show him to be o success as
political iigurer.

WALLOVzNG.
Two Great Politician WalIow ing In
the hith and dirI.

The caucus last Saturday evening
developed the fact that J. A. Wal
lace particularly, with e. w. Miller
as his lieutenant, have very little
hold on the better element of Elk
Point society. When they got de-
feated in the caucus they did not ex-
ercise any judgement or honor, but
stopped into the worst kind OF filth
to get revenge. 1t was their place TO
step down and out when public SEN
timent had no use for them. Hon.
orable men would have dorsa so-
men of rotten morals and groveling
dispositions would do just as they
did.
Instead Of urging a fight against
one or two of TIN, nominees as thew
had a right, they picked up the
names of respectable ladies and got
their followers to vote the tickets
These ladies did nothing to bring
their names before the public in the
form of abuse or burlesque. On the
contrary two ofthem are the wives
of respectable citizens and women of
unquestioned resnectability. The
other is a young lady who is doing
her best to make an honest living,
and stands head and shoulders above
the very men who sought her abuse.
The votes showed that Wallace and
Miller have just twenty followers.
You can Judge of the kind when
they will stoop low enough to at
tempt to defame the names Of res
pectable women. Nothing can be
more contemptihly low or mean.
That J. A. Wallace was the cause
of this meanness, because he was at
a discount in the caucns, there Is no
doubt. 1t corresponds with him,
and is part Of his education. When
he cannot use a ma to advance his
political interests he attacks him
and his family. He fails to consider
that he has a wife, and that, too, a
noble woman, and while he sits back
and attacks the wives Of other men
there is too much decency and hon
or among those who see Wallace in
the light we picture him To try TO
ridicule and injure the feelings ofhis
innocent wife. But he does not
honor the feelings OF the wives Of
his political opponents. He had a
right to oppose any man or men on
the ticket, but he had no right to
drag innocent women into the
contest.
Take this matter right home. How
would you like it? Because you
may oppose a man politically, do
you want him to open a war on your
wives? Would you sit idly by and
smile at the man that did 80? We
think not. Then the duty of the
people of this city is to show J. A.
Wallace that he candot abuse inno-
cence ard true womanbood at will
without suffering the consequences.
1t is high time to check such con
temptible meanness. The better
element of society cannot afford to
permit such abuses.
