THE LEDGER TO BE REMEMBERED.
Always to Raise a Smoke, ii Not q Fire.

Some things are made great, some
achieve greatess, some have greatness
forced upon them. Some men when
they die, want a bronze or marble
monument erected to mark where
their ashes lie. Others, by their
deeds, books or speech, leave living
monuments more lasting than brass
and more enduring than marble. It
IS only a matter of taste or ability.
Some newspapers live in the minds of
their reader long after they are ex-
tlnct-either on account their politi-
cal, religious or lying record, or,
maybe, because their editors do not pay
their debts, Or allowed themselves to
be beautifully thumped by book
agents OF ward politicians. The
LEDGER will be remembered in a new
and unique, if not lasting manner.
An enterprising tobacco firm of this
city is having a brand of cigars made
to be called the "MExICo LEDGER"
and to be smoked by ''people now on
EARTH" The LEDGER is bound to
make a smoke, if nothing else. If
the cigars are good, the LEDGER will
be -fasorably remembered; if bad,
they will cause the grave yards to fill
fast. The LEDGER, as usual, will
be remembered one way or the other.

Uncle TEN.
From the Danville, Ill.,. News.


There was q full house last NIGHT
at the operahouse, gathered to hear
the old, old story Of sUncle Toms
Cabin" Poor old, battered, time
worn cabin; many have been its
troubles, and, unlike any cabin ever
built since Noah's Ark, many have
been its travels. So far has it tray
eied and SO often has it passed us on
its way Or stopped for a bite and q
sup, that, like old knights Of the art
p~reservative, who have been ratified
by over indulgence in the cup, we ex-
pect their return at stated intervals,
sud, in spite Of the lack of finish or
fashion OF its garment Or its eccen-
trlclties, we regard it as entertaining,
and so patronize it. This time the
cabln has returned with q new roof, q
well sweep and few fresh vines
running over its sides. The new roof
was second Topsy, who, though hay
ing very little funny business to do
and some hard lines, did very well
indeed. st. Clair did some very good
wcsk, making the best of his part, as
all the company did.

Salt River Justices of the Peace,

The LEDGER was very careful to
take no part in the fight for justices
Of the peace of Salt River township,
except to place the names of the
nominees Of the party at the head of
our columns, because it was claimed
by some good democrats that the
nominations were not regular. Not
wishing to decide On this matter we
let the boys fight it out. Now it is
claimed by the friends of some of the
candidates that the LEDGER slnEred
them. We learn that Squire Hooton
thinks the LEDGER fought him par
sonally. This is a mistake. He owes
his defeat to other causes. 1t is
claimed that his friends and members
OF his family spent election day
scratching the regular democratic
ticket.

The usual crowd Of autumn liars
were gathered together in Tom.
Boards store, occupying al the
grocery seats-the only gross receipts
that the proprietor took no pride in
vhen a little. blear-eyed, weazen-
faced individual sneaked in by the
back door, and skunk into 4 dark cor
ner.
That's him, said the ungramati-
cal hummer with a green patch over
his lCft eye.
WHO is it?. asked several at the
same time.
"Why, the chap who saved Q train
from being wrecked was this an
swer.
"Come, tell US about it," they de-
naanded, as the small man crouched
IN the darkness, a il unwilling that
that his heroic deed should be brought
out under the glare Of the blasting
kerosene lamp.
After much persuasion, reinforced
by a stu horn Of corr juice, he be-
gan:
"It was just such a night rs this
bright and clear-and l was going
home down the track. when, right Be
fore me, across the rails, lay q great
beam. There it was. Pale and ghast-
" as q lifeless body, and light as it
appeared, I had not the power IA
move it. A sudden rumble and roar
told me that the Wabash cannon ball
was laundering down and soon would
reach the fatal spot. Nearer and
it approached till, just as the
was about lifting me, !
aside, placed myself between
the obstruction and the track, and
the train few On unharmed." i
Inc siience was so dense for q mo-
ment that one might have heard r.
dew drop. Presently somebody said
What did you do with the beam p"
81 didn't touch it," he replied
''but it touched me-.
"Wel," persisted the questioner,
''if you couldn't lift it, and didn't
touch it, how in thunder did the train
get over it?" /,
why don't you see?" said the
sad-faced man, as he arose from his
seat and sided toward the door.
The obstruction was a moon-beam, ]
and 1 jumped Sc that the shadow of
