How He Got Even.

They had red-hot time in a little
town in the Northern part of this State
last June as to who should be the chief
marshal of the day at the Fourth of
July celebration. The struggle finally
narrowed down to two men, and when
one was at length selected the other
was Of course boiling over with indigna-
ton. The lucky man looked down with
lofty disdain upon the defeated candi-
date, and wouldn't even let the pro-
cessien march past his house. But time
is the great avenger. They had rail-
road accident up there one day last
week, and the man who was defeated
was rushing through the town in GER
tain direction when he was halted by the
chief marshal, who asked .......5
"Anything happened ?''
Anything happened ?" repeated the
other as he drew himself up. .Well, /

"Sir! do you remember how you
scorned me last Fourth of July? Do
you remember how you tried to shrivel
me with look as stood off Babcock's
corner to see the procession ?"
"Well, I'd forgotten - -ss ..
"But never forget, sir! You were
appointed chief marshal, and you crow

"What is it, sir? Why, there has
been gigantic railroad accident, down
at the cross-roads-six cars off-frieght
all scattered around-engineer scalded

and track all torn up"
"And where are you going ?''

to proceed to the house of the Widow
Dunn and say to her that her red cow
was the cause of the terrible disaster,

Tyner's Suppressed Report.

New YORK, Oct. 2l.-The Times
says: James N. Tyner's liberation of
the Star route rascality was certainly
due to no lack of knowledge. We pub
lish to-day copy of the report made
by him in 1879 as the result of his per-
sonal investigations into the operations
of the ring in California and Oregon.
In directness and explicitness the re-
port leaves nothing to be desired in the
exposure Of the corruption. So far as
is known that report has been locked
up in Tyner's safe since the date he
prepared it.

Loss of Life by Fire.

JACKSON, Oct. 2O.-The residence Of
N. JelIeitsch, one mile from here, was
destroyed by fire at ? this morning.
All the inmates consisting of Jelleitsch,
his wife and two children, girl two
years old and an infant son six months
old, persisted. Jelleitsch's remains were
found within foot of the kitchen
door. He had apparently suffocated
while trying to escape with the infant
in his arms. The bodies of the wife and
oldest child were found close together
by the bedroom window. The bodies
were burned to cinder. Four men
were sleeping within few yards, but
could do nothing for the inmates. The
fire is believed to be accidental.

Undaunted.

We know of one man, says the Sacra-
mento Bee, who is destined to have a
bank account. He is apparently an
emigrant, and probably arrived here
last evening. This morning he was
met on one of our principal streets-a
sturdy-looking, well-knit foreigner,
wearing a wrinkled but clean blouse,
armed with a brand new saw and saw
buck, the latter being evidently of his
own manufacture. He was just striking
out to find something to do. His bright
manly face told Of the faith that was in
him-faith in the success of industry
and sObriety. This man is not of the
kind that come to the Pacific coast
with the expectation of finding a gold
mine or taking up fine ranch within a
week after their arrival, nor of that
other class that lounges about waiting
for something to turn up. He realized
the fact that he was among strangers,
and that il he would thrive he must
work. The cold weather is coming on,
and people must have their wood cut.
A small outlay would procure a saw,
and piece of scantling might soon be
fashioned into the other necessary part
of the woodsawyer's outfit. A few dol
lars sufficed to fit him out, and inside
of fifteen hours after his arrival he was
ready for business. That man will sue
coed where thousands would fail-he
will grow rich while some of his fellow
adventures will be beating their way
over the country, looking for work and
praying that they may not find it. We
admire pluck of this sort, and trust
that our hero Of the blouse and saw
buck is by this time cup to his eyes" in
somebody's woodpile.

And 90 it continued all down the aisle, Till many people began to smile; The Doctor had evidently given 1t wrong, (For the hymnal contained no such soug.) The hymns ran up to five hundred and twenty, And surely for the Doctor that was plenty But still the people kept turning the pages, From hymn number one to the Rock of Ages, VI And even to the good "DOxology," So that be might have no apology.

N0rth Norfolk.

In North Norfolk's northern limits, Near the line of Massachusetts, There once stood house of worship. Plain and humble was the structure, Bleak and bare were the surroundings. Nearly threescore years ago, From the hills and from the valleys, There little church was gathered Of the Baptist faith and order, And for many years they prospered. Had their pastors and their teachers, Had their seasons of refreshing Were for good 8 mighty power In the region round about them. Elder Hall and Elder Ellis, Elder Ambler, Elder Hubbard, In succession came and labored. Labored to win souls for heaven. It is not for me to praise them Or recount their many virtues, They have left roble record, All but one have passed away. And the deacons l remember: Deacon Green and Deacon Wilcox, Deacon Hartwell, Deacon Stew ns, They were good substantial pillars In the church with which they worNhippet And from memory's crowded storehouse recall the prayers and sermons, Hear the voices sweetly blended In harmonious songs celestial F Om those lips now sealed forever, And those voices husbed in death. Years have passed in swift succession, Most of those who met to worship Long ego have crossed the river, Few quite near the shores are wait ng; Some have euigrated westward, Some are near the broad Pacific, But in every place where scat, cred, What briRhs memories they cherish or their early life and birthplace.
