A POLITICAL sTEAw.

The papers say that the fact OF j.
Minor Taylor being nominated for State
Senator by the Storey county Republi-
cans over DIR. Il. B. Harris, indicates
that John Mackay will be candidate
for United States Senator in 1884.
Taylor is Secretary of the Bonanza
Company and confidential agent of Fair
and Mackay, and Harris, the defeated
candidate is a personal and political
friend of Senator John Z. Jones. II this
surmise is correct, Mackay and Jones
will be opposing candidates for United
States Senator two years hence. and as
Mackay now hes the means Of infuen-
cling more voters than Jones, it requires
mo prophet to forsteu the result. 1t is
asserted. however, by those who pro-
fess to know. that Mackay is not can
didate for any Office, and would not ac-
cept the Senatorship if rendered him

AN UNPRECEDENTED ACT.

A Washington dispatch says one OF
the first acts of Genera. Sherman, as
Acting Secretary of War, on Thursday,
was to sign the acceptance Of the resig-
nation Of General George Stoneman. as
Colonel ON the retired list. Stoneman
is the Democratic nominee for Governor
of California, and is largely engaged in
farming, and though he is comparative
1y rich and can afford to relinquish
SO, 300 year, which he receives as a
retired Colonel, his resignation excites
considerable surprise, because such an
act is almost unprecedented. Stoneman
graduated at West Point in 1916, and
was Major in the First Cavalry in the
Mexican War. In 1861 he was Brig
adler General OF Volunteers, and was
made a Major. General by President
Lincoln in 1862. In 1871 he retired,
on account Of disabilities, and now re-
ainquishes the salary allowed him by
the Government as a retired officer.

A romantic story OF mans treachery

Early last January young woman,
only short time bride, left her home
at Oakland, CAL, to join her husband,
who was working in one of the mines
near Tucson, A. T. While en- route
she met Chase, who, although perfect
stranger to her, managed to make her
acquaintance, and so fascinated her
that, instead OF seeking her husband,
abe eloped with Chase. They went to
Chicago and registered as Mr.. and Mrs.

ter II. Chase disappeared, taking with
him $500 in money and 81 500 worth
OF jewelry belonging to his inamorata.
He left her friendless. penniless and
disheartened. ALI efforts of the police
to find Chase proved fruitless till it was
learned few days ago that he was
stopping with his brother, who is en-
gagged in the newspaper business in
Atlantic City. His arrest promptly
followed. The prisoner, when inter-

OVER THE RIVER.


Over the river they beckon to me,
Loved ones who've crossed to the further
side;
The CLEAN of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are lost In the dashing
tide;
There's ono with ringlets of sunny gold,
And eyes the reflection of heavens own
blue;
He crossed in the twilight, gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal
view.
We saw not the angels who met him there,
The gates of the city we could not see,
Over the river-over the river.
My brother stands waiting to welcome me
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another the household pet;
Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale,
Darling Minnie see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark
We felt 1t glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark.
We know she is safe on the further side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be;
Over the river-the mystic river
My childhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and
pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars,
And catch CLEAN of the snowy sail;
And 10 they have passed from our yearning
hearts,
Who cross the stream and arc gone for aye,
We may not sunder the veil apart,
That hides from our vision the gates of day;
We only know that their barques no more
May sail with us over life's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere, | know, on the unseen
shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river and hill and shore,
shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatman's
oar;
| shall watch for CLEAN of the tapping
sail,
Ishall hear the boat rs tgains the strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman
pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land;
| shall know the loved who have gone before
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the river--the peaceful river
The angel Of death shall carry me.

Housebreaking and Larceny.

The dWelling-house of Mr.. G. A.
Mills. of jolly Street, was broken open
Sunday afternoon last while Mr.. and
Mrs. Mills we're away from home.
When they reformed they found that
the lock of the back door had been
broken, and that the thieves had
helped themselves quite literally.
Four trunks, containing clothing, bed
ding, &C., were broken open, and most
of the contents taken. One trunk
containing. clothing was missing, and
was found Monday about three hun:
dred yards from the house broken open
and a large part of the clothing gone.
Mr.. Mills lost all his clothing, except
what he had on, and Mrs. Mills lost
large part Of hers. They lost all their
provisions the thieves did not leave
them enough for supper. Mr.. Mills
has recently married and gone to
housekeeping and this loss falls pretty
heavily upon him. His neighbors set
to work at once to aid him in finding
the guilty parties, and evidence was
discovered that tended to fix the crime
on two negroes named Baxter DeWalt
and Abe DeWalt, and Mr.. Mills took
out a warrant before Trial Justice
Carlisle Tuesday for their arrest.
