Thoughts From Emerson.

Skepticism is slow suicide.
Cant is useful to provoke common
sense.
Write il on your heart that every
day is the best day in the year.
The essence of friendship is en-
tireness, a total magnanimity aud
trust.
The less man thIass or knows
about his victims tho better we like
him.
Truth is too simple for us +; we do
not like those who unmask our illus
sions
Souls are not saved in bundles
The Spirit asks Of every man, how
is it with thee !
Life is not 80 short but that there
is always time for courtesy. Self.
command is tho main elegance.
II there is any great and good
thing in store for you, it will not
come at the first or second call.
Life is hardly respectable II it has
no generous task, no duties or af~
fections that constitute necessity
OF existing. Every mans task is his
life-preserver.
The bert part Of human character
is tho tenderness and delicacy Of
feeling in little matters, the desire
to soothe and please others-min-
utie of the social virtues.
No congress, nor mob, nor guillo.

shot through the side Of the vehicle, at
Guiteau; the ball left a slight bruise on
the left wrist of the assassin, cutting
bis coat sleeve. The prisoner was ter

a corner on the floor, shaking like an as

suit. The man, however. escaped, and

AN embryonic war between the Bel
laire and Southwestern railroad mana
gers and the City Council and police of
BelIaire, has been in progress during the
past week. On Saturday the Company
laid track on street contrary TO the
wishes of the City dads. The same day
the City Commissioner and q force of
men removed" it. The Company relaid
it on Monday, and sued out an injunc-
ti0n to restrain the City authorities from
interfering with it. The railroad Com
pany claim the right of the street by an
ordinance, and the City authorities claim
that they must go on a certain grade,
which. if followed, would place the B. &
5. w. track five feet below the track of
the B. & O. road, with which connec-
ton is desired. The end is net yet.

RECENTLY friend Allison, of the Ohio
Press, has been giving vent to his ad-
miration of Hon. John A. Bingham, who
for many years was the Representative
in Congress from this District, and calls
for the shaping of affairs so that he of
the SILVER tongue" could be called back
to the scenes of his former triumphs and
glory. We do not yield in our admira-
ton for Bingham. When the Repubii-
can party was in its infancy, and during
its most momentous struggles for su-
premacy. the voice of Bingham was
potent During the years of his Con-
gressional life he faithfully served his
country. and represented his constituen-
cy with great ability. Under our Gus
toms, as a people. these things do not
warrant life tenure in official position.
In fact, the district has been well repre-
sented since the retirement of Mr.. B.,
and we see no immediate necessity in
forcing our distinguished Minister to
abandon his pleasant foreign home to
re-enter the political arena Apropos TO
this matter, we print below paragraph
from the Steubenville Gazette, of a
recent date:
"The fact is, DR.. Updegraff is strong
er man Intellectually than Bingham ever
was. He has the faculty of persistence
that cannot help but succeed. If he fails
to make his point he keeps at it until be
does make it, or knows fully the reason
of the failure. Industry is the founda-
tion of every success, and DR.. Updegraff
is a hard and persistent worker. He
pays more attention to his constituents
than any Congressman We have had in
years. 1t is,not likely that he will be-
come great constitutional lawyer, with
the gathered wisdom of a thousand years,
but he pays some attention to his con-
stituents."

paign county, Illinois, on requisitior
from the Governor, has been sentenced
to the penitsntiary for thirteen years
It will be remembered that while in Gus
tody here he confessed completely in q
number of robberies that were commit,
ted in Somerton, Malaga and other pla.
ces, and seemed to have a strong desire
to be retained here for trial. Under the
circumstances, it is probably as well
that be was sent west. He was indict.
ed for assault with intent to rob, &c.
and the sentence is no doubt severe for
the crime.-Barnesville Enterprise.
We became acquainted with the Chief
of Police of Danyille, ILL.,, at Columbus,
Ohio, last summer while on his way to
Barnesvile after Wheatly. His story
was, that Wheatly cut and permanently
crippled the wife of the man he robbed,
in one hand, and frightened her SO bad
ly that she gave birth to still-born
child few days afterward. Also,
wounded young lady at the same time,
and then stole the best horse and saddle
on the farm and made his escape. The
sentence should have been for life.-

THE main building of the Asylum at

youth. the finest structure of the kind in
the country, possibly in the world, was
destroyed by FIRE on Friday, entailing a
loss to the state of between three and
four hundred thousand dollars. The
inmates. over six hunred in number, to-
gether with over a hundred teachers and
employees, escaped without harm. The
fire began in the basement between 0
and 10 o'clock in the morning. AS there
was no FIRE in that portion of the build
