''Bill Dickson" 3"

Mr.. William Dickson, the foreman of the
Washington jury before which the Star
route cases were tried, has achieved no
toriety which can hardly be considered
enviable, but which has given him a
prominent place in the columns of the
newspapers. He has been a well known
character in Washington for the past
twelve years or more. He came to the
National Capitol from Philadelphia,
where he had been a type-setter, a
fireman, and politician of the ward type
Democratic of course. He was pro
tege of eN-Speaker Randall, or vice
versa, it is not easy to determine
which, and had, or seemed to have, a
good deal to do in a semi -o1icial way
with the affairs of the Democracy at
Washington. In local politics and civil
affairs he was particularly active, and
was a member of what became known us
the "teather duster Legislature" of the
District Of Columbia, and prior to that
an alderman of the city of Washington.
He was tor a time proprietor of bar and
restaurant on 18th street, called the Dick
son House, and this was his headquarters
until Congress abolished suffrage in the
District and placed its affairs under the
control OF three commissioners. Then
Dickson sold out and joined the vast
army of claim agents. He has since
aspired to every vacant office in the Dis
trct--Water Register, Fire Commissioner
and Commissioner of the District, and, we
believe, was an applicant for the position
of Sergeant at-arns, or Doorkeeper, Of
tie House of Representatives when the
Democrats came into control of that body;
but his efforts in these directions We're all
unsuccessful. 1t is but Just to say THAT
although mixing in dubious company, his
integrity was not seriously questioned.
| He was generally regarded as a good tel-
| low, and was known to everybody as Bill
Dickson. He is of good address, suave
in manner, discreet and capable and had
quite Il strong following in Washington.
Recent developments concerning his ca
reer as a claim agent, and the absurd
story he tells of attempted bribery on the
part of Government ohcIals to secure a
verdict against tno star route thieves,
tend, however, to hecloud bis reputation.
In the latter case, one must believe him
to be either knave OF fool, and certainly
none who know him would put Mr. Dick
son in the latter category Investigations
| now in progress are likely TO throw fur
ther light on the career Of this Washing
ton claim agent, who, unfortunately for
the cause of justice, was foreman Of the
! star route Jury.

Clad i'll duh foliage of sombre green.

Sets all the Woodbinc's waving sprays on fire,
And leaves them flaming from the cedar's Spire
And custring berries hangs he here and there
Some like the rubies, some as round and fair

Beneath the trees that gave them life to die.

The Use Of the Capital

When Gen. Alexander Ogle served
Somerset's ''frosty sons Of thunder" in the
! Pennsylvania legislature, it fell to Linn to
write, in behalf Of the Democratic mem
bcrs. letter to Gen. jackson, then stem
| ping across the presidential threshold
! Such work Of the scribe was a labor Of

'Gentlcmen and members Of the Dem

addressed by Gen. Alexander Ogle to
Gen. Andrew jackson, and | have no
hesitation in saying that it is a damned
able paper" The members, gathering
around, agreed that the letter was lust
! the thing to make Old Ilick0rv's heart
| thump with satisfaction, and all except
one, a dapper little Philadelphan, spoke
words OF praise. This dandy of the
House, fixing his glasses and scanning the
page with tie critics smirk, ventured to
remark: "PardOn me, General, | do not
wish to assume to make suggestion to 50

brows, piercing the dandys marrow with
the fierce shaft Of scorn that shot from his

and ending with a roar 'when write to

GOOD WATER FOR THE STOCK.
Pure water and an abundance of if is
one of the essentials of every good farm.
This water should be at or near the barn
or barns. During the summer months
when the farm stock is in the pastures
with green fodder, the water supply does
not seem to be of 50 great Importance.
good stream may be all that is neccs-
sarN, even if it is situated a half mile from
the farm buildings; but in winter supply
close at hand is of great value. Barn
yard wells are convenient but are seldom
receptacles OF pure water The water
too frequently would serve a better pur-
pose il used as q fertilizer upon the land
than given to the animals Far superior
to the we'll water is that of some spring
which is brought to various places in and
around the farm buildings from a neigh
boring hill side. There are very many
places where pipes can be laid and the
very best OF water brought in to supply
the wants of the stock. There is a great
loss sustained hy farmers in giving, OF
allowing their stock To seek and drink
water that is at the point of freezing. 1t
not only chils the system, but requires Il
large amount ot food to bring it to blood
heat. Spring water though cool is not
ice cold Before the winter sets in. and
the stock are all in their quarters, every
one should see that his water supply is
What it should be for the comfort and
health of his animals, and the profit
which comes with such thOughtfulneSs.

AFoETUNATE WOMAN. The Portland
Press says Mrs. ID. W. Lincoln, who
boards with Mr. John II. Saylor, at No.
% Myrtle street, Portland, has received
news that she had fallen heir to the large
sum Of Sl75,O0O from the estate of her
cousin, Mr.. Erven ". S. Noughton, Of
California, formerly Of Maine, lately de
ceased. \ romantic history is connected
with this bequest. Mr.. Noughton and
Mrs. Lincoln, i'll their younger days, were
intimate friends, and would probably
have been married if it had not been for
the opposition of their relatives Mr.
Noughton started for the West, declaring
that he would never come back to Maine
He kept his word. Business prospered
with him and he became wealthy. Mrs
Lincoln is a daughter of Capt. John
Thompson, of Rockland She was mar
ried to Capt. Jairas T. Lincoln, who was
master Of the schooner Alaska for some
time. Capt Lincoln died about four
years ago, leaving a property Of twenty
five thousand dollars to his widow.

0aths and Afarmations.

A curious list of the forms of oath in
use in foreign Legislative assemblies may
be compiled from the reports received
at the British foreign Office. In Bavaria
and Denmark the form is $50 help me
God and His holy gospel" In Holland,
Saxony, and Hesse-D Darmstadt the name
of the Deity is alone invoked. In Por-
tugal the oath is taken upon the holy
gospels. In Greece the deputy swears
in s'the name of the holy and consub-
stantial and indivisible trinity" The
Servian form of affirmation is made by
calling to witness the ssone God and all
that is according to law most sacred and
in this world dearest After swearing
the deputy on the gospels, the President
of the Spanish Cortes says: "Then may
God repay you, but If you fail may He
claim it from you" In Bavaria nom
Christians omit the reference to the
gospel. In Holland, as in the United
States, affirmation is optional. In Aus
tria promise is in every case substi-
tuted for an oath. In Belgium and Italy
the abjuration is used without any the
istic reference, and in France and Rou-
mania, the German Reichstag, and for
deputies in Sweden and Norway, neither
oath nor affirmation is demanded.
