More people are applying to the city au-
thOrities for aid this winter than usual, al
though the mild weather is a boon to the des-
titute The shutting down of the mills threw
many out of employment, who were obliged
to ask help to tide them over the cold
months. There seems to be great
deal of sickness among the poor. The
city has been called upon to furnish five
coffns to one stricken French Canadian fami-
ly, where the mother and four children died
within few weeks OF each other. We are
happy to say that no case of dsstitution is al
lowed to exist in Augusta, and the poor are
cared for rs soon as their wants are known.
Mr.. George f. b. Jackson, president of
the Maine central railroad, is very hopeful
concerning the proposed Aroostook railroad.
He says the road will undoubtedly be con-
structed, and as it will pass near Mount
katahdn will afford chance for summer
tourists to learn that the wild grandeur of
katahdin and Its environs is equal to that OF
Mount W Washington. The entire length of the
road from Dexter to Presque Isle. the pro-
posed terminus, will be about one hundred
and seventy five miles, large part of the
route passing through the primeval forest,
opening up, however. vast tracts of farming
land. Between Dexter and Brownville the
engineering difficulties are very considerable,
greater, in fact than any other portion of the
route; but this portion will be constructed
first, and the remainder will follow in due
season.

IT seems that the fools do not all
succeed in getting into colleges, after
all. The following appeared in one OF
the Athens papers, and refers to the
last night in October:
The College boys made the Campus hideous with
noise Tuesday night, till after Il o'clock Some dam
age was done to the Campus fence which they claim
was by other parties. The uoise might have passed
as fun but for the that the feelings of sick Pro-
the street should have been regarded to
say nothing of others who wanted quiet.
But then there is no college in Gal
lipolis, and the young fools, outlaws
and petty thieves tore down signs
stole and carried off gates, and Other
property. They destroyed the finest
sign in the city, the damage to the
owner being forty dollars.

WE have been exceedingly anxious
to find out how many votes the ''inde-
pendents' polled in Pennsylvania last
week, but as nearly all the papers are
of the half-breed, traitor gang, none
Of them are disposed to attempt to
tell the truth. The following, from
the Columbus Dispatch. is all that we
have been able to find:
SIT is estimated that the Independ-
ent Republican vote in Pennsylvania
will reach about thirty-six thousand.
This is falling off from last year
when Wolf, Independent, received
over fifty thousand votes. The init
nation is that many Independents
voted the Democratic ticket.
The whole gang voted the Demo-
cratic ticket. That is just what they
wanted-the success Of the Democra-
cy. In 1881 the REPUBLICAN candidate
at the head Of the State ticket had
265, ,293. Now it is claimed that one
third Of million Of Republican votes
should be controlled-wagged, by
one-third Of hundred thousand sore
heads.
Down with the bosses!

But he was powerfully tight never

We clipped the above, we believe,
from one Of our Ironton exchanges.
There is nothing strange in it. Did
you ever see man who was SO poor
that he could not get whisky? Or,
did you ever see drunken man who
was not in need of a great deal of

The Death Of the Boss!
A FABLE.

Once upon time there was very
fine, well-stocked barn-yard, contain
ing large number Of very fat, plump
fowls. In the centre Of this barn
yard stood fine kennel, in which
dwelt number Of fine dogs which
were of use in guarding the fowls
from the sneaking foxes that were
constantly prowling about on the out
side of the enclosure.
A hungry fox came that way, and
peeping through the fence, got a
glimpse of the fowls, also the dogs.
His Indignation was aroused. He
gathered together large number Of
his hungry friends, for consultation.
This meeting resolved that the dogs
were inclined to be "bosses" Of the
barnyard, and before the hungry
sneaks upon the outside could get at
the spoils within, the bosses would
have to be put out Of the way.
In order to accomplish this, the
foxes made an alliance with large
pack of wolves. These wolves re-
mained hidden in the brush, while the
foxes paraded boldly before the en-
trance to the barn-yard. The dogs,
seeing this menace, rushed boldly
after the hungry foxes. The foxes
rushed away toward the ambuscade of
the wolves, and these in turn attacked
and killed the dogs. A great reform
was accomplished, in the estimation
Of the foxes. These Immediately pro-
ceeded to take charge of the barn
yard and destroy, or steal, all the fat
fowls contained therein. Query: What
did the destruction Of the "bosses"
profit the owner Of the barnyard?
MoRAL.-Before we destroy our
"bosses," let us ever be sure that our
interests will not fall into the hands
Of theiving foxes.

BUT it is not a victory. There was
no national issue, while constitutional
amendments in many States and other
local issues entered into the fight.
Next year safe and able men will be
selected, the ranks will close up pre-
paratory to thergreat battle of 1884,
when Republicanism, the young, in
telligent, Garfield Republicanism,
will sweep the country from the lakes
to the gulf and from ocean to ocean.

WHEN the election returns were
coming in last week we were remind
ed ola little story. A young doctor,
when he commenced practice, had a
case Of obstetrics. When he came
home his wife asked him how he sue
.ceeded. He said very well. The wo-
man and the child were dead, but he
thought the old man and the dog
might pull through.
When State after State came in
Democratic, we had no doubt but that
Kansas and Massachusetts would be
the old man and the dog that might
pull through; but they both elected
Democratic Governors.

GATHERING HAZELS.
by DEACON SLASHER,

Now comes the yellow Fall again,
see the showering leaves,
And hear the chilling, wIntry rain,
Fast dripping from the caves;
Dear Marth., see the dark clouds play,
With many a lowering frown,
Above the wood, where, many a day,
We've gathered hazels brown.
There first we told our youthful love,
Each to willing ear,
While, from approving oaks above,
Fell bird-songs sweet and clear;
How swiftly few the happy hours,
How sweet the sun went down,
As, underneath the golden showers
We plucked the hazels brown
Though many busy year has passed
Years fraught with JOY and pain,
This heart will yearn, while life shall last,
For those sweet scenes again;
And ofttimes in the dreary hours
Within the busy town,
Ilong to see the leafy showers,
And pluck the hazels brown.
How swiftly all these years have fled.
Now we are growing old,
And silver soon upon your head
Will take the place of gold;
Yet still these hearts beat just as warm
Though swift our sun goes down.
AS when, unknown to cloud or storm,
We gathered hazels brown.
Dear Marth., we've much to live for still,
Though evening shadows play,
We may our lives with beauty fI,
In this, their closing day;
And we may rest each weary head
Beneath golden crown,
When other hands come in our stead,
And pluck the haZels brown.
The Father who so lsved US then,
And filled our lives with bliss
VIII lead us by the hands again
In better worlds than this;
And He will make our Heavenly ways
When this life's sun goes down
Brighter than when in those bright days,
We plucked the hazels brown.,
