The BIarney Stone.

Five miles to the west of the city of
Cork, in a valley where two streams meet,
is the little village of Blarney, with its
castle whose fame is widespread. For
high in the northeastern side of the castle
is stone, and he who is adventurous
enough to reach it, and has faith enough
to kiss it, will be sure to possess thence
forth gift of marvellous efficacy.
Honeyed words will flow from his lips;
persuasive power will hang on his utter
ances; he will win his way everywhere
and with anybody; and when mankind,
and, much more, womankind, are taken
captive by the witchery of his tongue
they say, " He has kissed the Barney
Stone" There are two stones which
each claim to be the real talisman-one
on the summit of the castle, being about
two feet square, with the date 1908; the
other, that which records the date of the
building, 1446. Thanks to Mr.. Jeffrey

SIGN THE PLEDGE.

We say, then, to all workers in the
temperance reform, while YOU insist
on prohibition, and ply moral suaslon,

ideas and the old instrumentalities.

Its victims are alarmirgly on the in

well nigh saved. How? Temperance
was preached in the pulpit. in the lee

room, on the wayslde, by papers, by
books, tracts, and lecturers: and at the
same time children and men and
women, by thousands and upon thou

by 1t were kept from falling back to
the old paths. Mr.. Cough once said
that he believed that one in four of
the multitudes who formerly signed
the pledge kept it. Think of this

4 REN1SIscENcE OF FORT SMELLING.

| close my eyes and recall an evening
in 1896 when, in one Of the stone houses
near Fort Smelling, which was our house
at that time, pleasant company OF Of
ficers and their families were spending
the evening with my parents. The doors
were open, for the weather was warm,
and one of the officers, Capt. Cruger, was
walking on the piazza, when we were all
startled by the sound of rapid firing near
us. The Captain rushed into the house,
much agitated, exclaiming That bul-
let almost grazed my ear 2 What could
it mean; were the Indians surrounding
.usY
"Soon the loud yells and shrieks from
the Indian camp near our house made
it evident that the treaty of peace, made
that afternoon between the Sioux and the
Chippewas, had ended, as all these trea-
ties did, in treachery and bloodshed.
The principal men of the two nations had
met at the Indian agency, and in the
presence of Major Taliaferro, their
White Father had made solemn
treaty of peace. In the evening, at the
wigwam of the Chippewa Chief, they had
ratified this treaty by smoking the pipe
of peace together and then, before the
smoke of the elnblematic pipe had
cleared away, the treacherous Sioux had
gone out and deliberately fired into the
wigwam, killing and wounding several of
the unsuspecting inmates. The Chippe-
was, of course, returned the fire, and this
was what startled and broke up the
pleasant gathering at my fathers house.
1.-The Chippewas sought refuge and
protection with their wounded within the
walls of the fort, commanded at that time
by Colonel Josiah Smelling, from whom
it was named. They were kindly cared
for. One, little girl, daughter Of the
chief, excited much sympathy, and |
cannot forget the interest I felt in her,
| for she was but year or two older than
myself, and it seemed to me so cruel to
ruthlessly put out her young life. She
| fingered but few days in great agony,
and then God took her out Of pain.
Meanwhile our Colonel, a prompt
and efficient officer, demanded of the
Sioux the murderers, and in very few
days body of Sioux were seen advanc-
ing toward the fort, as was supposed, to
deliver up the criminals. Two com
panies were sent to meet them and re

Mr.. Ernest G. Timme, of this city, is
looming up as a candidate for the office
of Secretary of State. We notice from
our numerous exchanges that the per-
sonalpOpularity of Mr.. Timme and the
general recognition of his fitness for
the position are winning him firm sup
porters in all parts of the state. Mr.,
Timme is a man of fine executive
ability, pleasing address, exemplary
moral tone and habits. He is repre-.
sentative German in every sense of
the word. His record as County Clerk
of Kenosha County for many years is
one of which any man might we'll be
proud, being elected almost invariably
without opposition. His record as a
soldier in our late civil war is that of a
brave man and patriot, having been
about three years in the service and
lost an arm in the engagement at Chick
amaugua. His private life as citizen
has been no less honorable than his
life as soldier and record as a public
officer. 1t may be further said that
this portion of the state has claims
upon the party, having had no represen-
tative upon the state ticket since the
Hon. w. H. Petit was Lieutenant
Governor. We look upon Mr.. Timme
as a man eminently competent and adj
mirably fitted by practice and education
for the position of Secretary of State.
We know him to be man fearless in
doing the right thing and equally fear,
less in dealing with wrong MN
always on the alert in guarding the
trust submitted to his care. His
merits are such that his name will add
strength to the general ticket, and
every man who votes for him will feel
that he has casta ballot for brave
soldier, an honest and efficient public
servant, and an exemplary man and
citizen.
As an illustration of the cordial man.
ner in which the press endorse Mr..
Timme, we publish below some ex-
tracts from leading journals:

The point is being generally raised,
as to whether it will be constitutional,
wise or polite for the Presidents wife
to accept the fund that is being raised
for her. AS the gift is to be offered to
the Presidents wife, the constitutional
objection does not directly apply; but
it may be claimed that il is an Indirect
avoidance of it for Mrs. Garfield to
receive the gift. Such circumstances
as have brought out the fund were,
however, not contemplated by the
trainers Of the constitution. and the
very circumstances of the offering neg
alive the clause. if indeed they are OPP
posed to each other The gift comes
from those whose protection and rights
were contemplated, the people, in the
adoption OF such a limitation upon the
emoluments of the President. But the
question is of grave moment. May it
not open the door to corruption and
bribery IN the future by showing a
way to reach the influence of some
future less honest administration? It
would seem so. But the President, it
may be claimed, is being indemni6ed
For a great personal calamity, for which
he nation is more or less responsible.
1t is so, and the fund may be regarded
as a spontaneous freeing of the people
from the obligation, as well as tribute
to the worth and exalted character Of
the foremost lady in the land. These
facts, however potent, only add to the
difficulty. Itmatters not how much
we may wish to see the noble character
of Mrs. Garfield receive so just a trib.
ute, or the President receive, indirectly.
so just an indemnilication for the cal
amity which has befalen him, it is
only another instance of the living
truth that right must often suffer that
wrong may be overcome" We would be
glad to think otherwise, to avoid such
belief, but our narrow philosophy
can see no way out With such con-
yictions we hope that Mrs. Garfield will
add yet another mark of her high char
acter and virtue by declining the gift
with thanks.

THE KENOSHA TELEGRAPH
FRIDAY, JULY %, 1881


One of the most terrible storms OF
the season visited New Ulm, Mimi,
last Saturday. The city was literally
torn to pieces and the fragments scat
tered over the country by terrible
double cyclone. There were not less
than a dozen persons killed and many
seriously injured. A relief fund is be-
ing gathered for the benefit of those
who have sustained the loss Of life,
limb, kindred and property. Working
men are promptly on hand. and the
damages will be repaired and the city
rebuilt. New Ulm will be remember
ed as the Minnesota town which was
the scene of a terrible Indian massacre
during the war;
