Limitations OF Life.

The limitations Of life are essentially
a~ggravating. The people who have moth
ing to do but live comfortably and spend
their money nave the fewest. indeed they
have scarcely any. while the struggling
man or woman who has to toll step by step
for daily bread or to obtain q position is
hedged in by innumerable barriers. not
the less formidable that they are unseen.
Their very faculties are against them. The
factory hand will have a Imagination
which turns all the repulsive details OF life
into thorns, while the milliner's appren-
tice will not appreciate the difference be-
tween q peony and a rose. The city mer-
chant will find no pleasure in bills Of
exchange and yearns for the delights Of the
country, while the farmer, who was IN
tended for al accountant, surveys his
crops with disgust. Why is this thusly =?
Simply, in most instances. because parents
have ideas Of their own, and recognize that
children have the same, and 80 they dis
pose Of Sons and daughters without the
least regard to their natural tastes. These
limitations are the most irritating. because
they are utterly unintelligible to any but
the individual. and while there are thou
sands OF more palpable ones, there are
more SO like the prison bars against which
the captive beats himself in vain, until
energy or lie is exhausted.

FRIDAY. 81. 1881


The election in Ohio goesto show tina
the Republican party, in at least that
section of the Union, still possesses the
confidence Of the people. The New
York Herald says: at is not improba-
BILE that the sentiment created by
the death of President Garfield
and the well known close and
intimate relations in which Governor
Foster stood toward him had more or
less influence on the result. Indeed, 1t
would be strange if such were not the
fact. Mr.. Foster was the representa-
tive Of what is known as Garfieldism in
Ohio, and the issue Of the struggle must
be accepted as meaning that the ideas
and principles which the late President
represented are still more or less potent
factors in our politics. The vote was
light on both sides, and the majority,
however respectable, is not sufficiently
great to inspire m overweening conf
dence on the part of the victors. MIR.
Bookwalter was not a very popular can
didate. He was almost unknown be-
yond his own State, and it is very GER
tain that thousands Of Democrats had
never heard Of him before he was placed
in nomination. Could a Democrat of the
national fame and distinguished ability
of Mr.. Thurman have been induced to head
the ticket it is not altogether certain that
Mr.. Fosters majority would not have
been swept out Of existence. Taking
everything into consideration the Re-
publicans have not a very large margin OF
popularity to work on even in Ohio.
Iowa has, of course, gone Republican,
but the majority is not up to the old
standard of that State, even in the oh
years If the elections that have just
taken place possess any lesson it is
that parties are still SO evenly divided
that neither Of them can afford to make
the slightest blunder without running
the risk of certain defeat"

Spreading Diphtheria.

1t is not alone by the breathing of infect
ed air that diphtheria may be communi-
Gated from child to child at school. In
deed, those who deny that the air is often
or ever q medium of communication of
the disease, and who are not at all familiar
with the th~oughtless ways Of little -children
at school, must yet recognize that the
possible means Of communication by al
most direct contact are many. Who has
not seen a school-boy with his mouth
full OF marbles taken from a
mate2 Children often borrow lead
pencils, which by instinct they wet in their
mouth; they borrow sponges from one an
other to wipe their states, which they
moisten with saliva. In SO democratic a
community as a primary school-room
1t Is q very common thing for
all Of the room to drink from
the ame cup. their clothes COM
monty hang in close contact in
ante-rooms or closets. They mani
fest their likes and dislikes by biting
or refusing to bite from the same apple;
and little girls often pledge eternal friend
ship by that classic symbol, "sharing
gum" Though these things may occur
outside the school, they are more frequent
the more children are brought together.

THE SUCCESS OF FoxHALL.

Judging from the elaborate and pains
taking manne in which it undertakes to
console its readers, the London Times
attaches nc small Importance to the
success Of Foxhall. But it really makes
matters worse by the line of noourage-
ment which it pursues. Its argument
that the capture of the Cesarewitch
Handicap by Foxhall and the Derby and
st. Leger by Iroquois are not victories
for which Americans can properly take
the credit, because both horses are de-
scended from English stock and were
ridden by English jockies, is surprisingly
puerile, and wholly unworthy of such a
journal as the Times. At that rate
Americans could never hope to distin-
guish themselves as such, for whatever
might be their achievement the argu-
ment presented by the Times could al
ways be modified to suit the occasion.
1t is really a little too absurd to say that
Foxhall and Iroquois are not American
because Of their British descent. Upon
that theory there is nothing American in
this country except the aborigines and
their works.

A Baby KfdnnpDcd.

A resident Of Battle Creek, Michigan,
was called to his door recently by a vigor-
NJ jerk Of the bell. What he saw on the
doorstep was q clothes basket, and II did
not take long to discover that the basket
contained a baby. As that household al
ready had a full assortment OF treasures
Of that kind, the citizen was angry as well
as shocked. He lost no time in sending
the basket with its contents to the police
station. As the colored man who had been
hired TO carry the baby to the station en-
tered the door, he saw q young woman
.frantically endeavoring to give an officer q
piece OF information. CHANGING at the
basket, however, the woman uttered a
scream and Rugged the infant. until 1t in
turn became demonstrative. The found
ling had found Its mother, whose strange
explanation that a discharged and angry
servant girl had kidnapped it while the
family were at breakfast, proved to be true.

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL


BAKERSFIELD (Cal.), Oct. 2O.-Charles
zeigler and scodie are partners in a mine
at Piute Mountain. Tom Herbert, an en-
ploye, and Zeigler worked the mine.
Scodie lived at home on the South Fork.
Zeigler and Herbert quarreled last Thurs
day, and the former went to Scodie's
house, got money, came back and paid
Herbert off, and said he did not want him
any longer. The above facts were wit.
messed by q F~renchman, who since the
mystery has disappeared. The next morn
ing Herbert appeared at a neighbors and
said Zeigler was dead. He thought heart
disease was the cause Of his death, but
had not examined him. Zeigler was found
with three bullet holes in him. One ball
entered the neck to the left and a little be-
low the chin, and lodged in his teeth on
the opposite side. Another entered his
back and passed through the lungs. JUS
tice Goodale of Havilah was sent for, and,
acting as Coroner, summoned q jury and
held an inquest. Herbert. the only wit
ness, testified that Zeigler came home in
thc ONChih6 0h0 q DCCh QAluALuks 1C
brought a bottle of whisky, and they
drank together a number OF times. Her
bert went to bed. Zeigler went to his
room and came back later with whisky
and asked Herbert to drink, which he de-
clined. but finally drank. Zeigler went
of and came back with a bottle and cup,
and asked Herbert to take another drink.
Herbert said he had enough, and wouldn't
drink any more. After considerable talk
they finally drank. Herbert went to
sleep and in the morning found Zeigler on
the floor, near the bed, dead. He did not
examine him.. and did not know what
killed him. He heard no noise during the
night. He rent to the %neighbors and told
them that Zeigfer was dead. Herbert's
pants and boots had blood on them. The
Judge asked for an explanation. Herbert
said he found Zeigler lying across his
pants and boots when he got up and
pulled them from under him. The Judge
returned to Kernville, and a Constable
went up and arrested Herbert and lodged
him in Jail at Kernville. Night before
last q mob OF Is or 20 started for the Jail
to hang the prisoner. A majority of the
mob were drunk, and were interrupted 100
yards from the jail BY Deputy Sheriff Ben.
Mitchell. The mob fred on Mitchell,
who exclaimed, "I'm hitl". The officer
discharged his gun. loaded with buckshot,
mortally wounding Jim Cochran, and then
fell dead. Cochran Is said to be the man
who shot the officer. Cochran IL alive.
At the last report the mob had dispersed
without getting their man. The Sheriff
and posse left for Kernville last night.

1t is a pity that General Ben. Butler
cannot spare the time to cooperate with
Mr.. Scoville in the defense of Guiteau.
He would certainly make the proceed
ings exceedingly lively and interesting,
and although it is far from being proba-
BILE that he would have saved the assas-
sin from the gallows, the prosecuting
counsel would have been placed upon
their mettle and the trial have been
made as celebrated as the crime is in
famous. Besides, the case involves some
important and difficult legal questions, of
which General Butler would assuredly
make the most, which means that they
would be exclusively argued and con-
clusively decided. At the same time it
was hardly to be expected that a lawyer
in large practice should gratuitously de-
vote himself to the defense Of a man
like Guitcau.

Four more Nihilists are being tried in
Russia, and Of course the alleged trial is
conducted with closed doors. 1t would
have been a much more simple process
to have declared them guilty at once A
number Of persons are locked up in Ire
land as suspects without a shadow of
trial. Europe could afford to take a
lesson from America, for while there
cannot be q doubt Of Guiteau's guilt,
the dictates of civilized humanity afford
him an open, fair and impartial trial.

THE vilest murderer that has long been
heard Of has just been put to death in
Dortmund, Germany. He killed a woman,
and when, subsequently, the deed was
traced to him through bloody clothes he
had worn at the time, he denied his guilt,
and accused his father Of the crime, saying
that the old man had worn his clothes
while committing the murder for the pur-
pose Of throwing suspicion upon him.
