COMMUNICATION.
PlocHE, New, August 80, 1882.

| EDITOR hECoRD:-lt appears Inat IN
making a summary OF the Grand jury
report for your last issue you overlooked
one item of considerable Importance in
the estimation of many who saw the re-
port, and which was evidently embodied
in the report with view to having it
made public. The item or paragraph re-
ferred to was in effect as follows:
1--WE find without questioning the gem
eral availability of the salary law that, as
applied to Lincoln county, it works in
| justice; first, in that the salaries are in
most cases too high; and, secondly, that
whenever there is nominal surplus in
| the funds it is transferred to the salary
fund, thus paying the county officers
generally eXhorbitant salaries in full, to
the detriment of other just claims, and
the actual requirements of the people of
the county.
In the above statement as written |
understand there is clerical error, that
is, "other funds should read, General
County Fund, but the effect is the same,
and the fact remains the same.
The Salary Law is think, on the
whole, much better than the old fee sys-
tem-the repeated statements of disn-
terested (:) parties to the contrary not.
outstanding. But, although the in
crease in the debt has not been as great
under the salary law as under the fee
system, yet there has been no decrease
i'll the debt. Why is this? In the first
place, after weak and poor county has
been suffering under yearly accumulat-
ing debt of hundreds of thousands of
dollars for many years, it can hardly be
expected that it will, all at once, be
cured of the evil by any law however
good
Secondly, let us look at our county
from common sense point of view. Here
we have an organization for the purpose
of carrying on certain public affairs.
Moneys are paid by the members of the
organization for use in supplying their
common wants, and certain men are en-.
ployed by the organization to carry out
its purposes. The organization owes just
and legal debts which should be paid with
the moneys which its members furnish; it
has among its inhabitants criminals who
should be brought to Justice, and many
other wants for the fultillment of which
money is requisite. But the money fur.
nshed by its members does not find its
way into the proper channels. 1t is said
to be insufficient for all the purposes re-
quired, and it is therefore absorbed by a
single set of gentlemen, who are paid the
whole amount of their claims at the rate
of from 81 to $50 per hour for their labor,
that labor being no more difficult than
ordinary, and requiring no more skill
than ordinary; while Others who have
been compelled by the law to abandon
their occupations for days, and even
weeks, at much inconvenience and some
times heavy losses, to do work for the

1t is said that one of the chief causes
of the failure of the famous Sullivan farm
in Illinois, the last small section of which
has been closed out, was the ex.Gov.
ernor's too rigid discipline, not founded
on common sense. The farm, ten miles
long and seven miles wide, was divided
into three sections. If, for instance, the
first of gang of forty plows broke down,
none of the Others were allowed to pass
it, but all had to wait until the damage
was repaired. No overseer could dis.

manual labor, however urgent, and no

Summers three, my fairy queen,

Soft approaches. sly retreats,
Show the little archer there,
Hidden in your pretty hair!
When didst learn heart to win?
Prithee, tell me, Dimple-chin!

Tell, O, tell me, grizzled face,
Do your heart aud head keep pace?
When does hoary love expire'
When do frosts put out the fire? ..
Can its embers burn below
All shat chill December snow?
Love you still soft hands to press,
Bouny heads to smooth and bless?
When does love give up the chase?
Tell, o, tell me. grizzled face!

But of love can't foretokeu;

THE PITFALLS OF YOUTH
A Good Story by the Most Eminent German
American.
Carl Schurz in the Chicago Times.

Carl Schurz in the Chicago Times.
When 1 was a little fellow in |
Stuttgart, with yellow hair and
wooden shoes, there came one
day to the school which I attended
an American boy named Jim |
Saunders, whose father was a
New York broker. He was a
quiet simple-looking child, with
great, soulful brown eyes, and an
innocent look in his face that
made Us all think he couldn't
know much. We used to make fun
Of bis peaked face and thin legs,
because in Germany, you know,
the children are all round faced
and fat. Little Jimmy never seem
ed TO notice that we we're enjoy
ing ourselves at his expense, and
he made US think be must be too
simple for any use. But after he
had been in the school about six
months and could speak German
pretty well, a circus came to
town, and Of course was the whole
topic of conversation among the
boys. One day we werc discuss
ing the matter, when Saunders,
who had been sitting quietly in a
corner of the room, said he should
think little boy might crowd in
under the circus tent and see the
show that way. We all laughed
at this exhibition Of ignorance,
because we knew how closely the
tent was watched, and that more
than one of US had been made
temporarily delirious by having
the boss canvasman's boot lean
suddenly against the seat of our
pants. So when little Jimmy
said this We laughed heartily, and
Jacob Laudenheimer, who was the
biggest boy in school, said nobody
but Yankee would talk so fool
ishly. But Jimmy seemed to
think be- was right, and finally
Jacob offered to bet him two
marks. that he couldn't get into
the circus under the tent. Jimmy
always had plenty of money, and
be at once took the bet. Then
several more of the boys began
betting the little fellow until l
felt sorry for him, and finally l
concluded to 90 him six groschen
myself, so that could give the
money back to him when all the
others had won theirs, and do q
noble act. Little Jimmy took my
bet, and after all the money had
been put up with Mr.. Niersteiner,
one of the teachers, the whole
crowd went over to the circus
ground to see James lose. He
went right up to the ticket-wagon
and bought a ticket. Then he said
to the man: 4 reckon there is
no objection to my going under
the canvas as long as have paid
: my way?' The man said certain.
: ly not if anybody wanted to take
: that trouble be had no objection
> So Jimmy crawled under the tent

POINTS ON WOMAN.

After man came woman.
And she has been after him ever
since.
1t costs more to keep a woman than
three dogs and a shot gun.
But she pays you back with in. 8
serest-by giving you house full of
children to keep you awake at night
and smear molasses candy over your
Sunday coat.
Woman is the superior being in
Massachusetts,. 9
There are about sixty thousand
more of her sex than males in that
State.
This accounts for the terrified,
hunted down expression of the single 8
men who emigrate from the east.
Woman was Got created perfect.
She had her faults-such as false Z
hair, false complexion, and SO on.
But is great deal better than her
ueighbor, and she knows it.
Eve was woman.
She must have been a model wife,
too, for it cost Adam nothing to keep
her in clothes.
Still, I don't think she was very
happy.
She couldn't 60 to sewing circles

she knew, nor excite the envy of
other ladies by wearing her new winter &
bonnet to church.
| Neither could she hang over the
back fence and gossip with her neigh.

All these privileges were denied
her.
Poor Eve, she's is dead now.
And the fashion she inauguratsd is
| dead.
What beautiful example IN SIM
plcity Of dress is shown some Of the
followers of fashion BY that domestic
animal, the cat, which rising ia the
morning, washes its face with its right
hand. gives its tail three tremendous
fjerks, and is already dressed for the
day.
| The happiest period Of woman's
life is when she is making her we'd.
ding garments.
| The scddest is when her husband
comes home late at nights and yells to
her from the front door step to throw
out handful Of keyholes Of different
sizes.
There is some curiosity in feminine
nature.
! For instance, l once knew young
lady who could easily pass another
one on the street without looking
around to see what she had on.
| Poor thing she was blind.
The average age of woman is about
twenty-five.
She never lives to be very old.
Some Ct them look to be we'll ad-
vanced in years, but you Shouldn't
judge BY appearance.
Ifyou will take the trouble to ask q
woman how old she is, you will get at
the real facts of the case.
And discover that she is quite
young. She seldom passes her thir-
tieth birthday.
About that tlne she begins to tear
out certain leaves 10 the old family
Bible. .

to manage. I know but one way to

And that is for her to dress in

tablet was found to q certain extent filled
by provisional cartilage. The internal
tablet was slightly depressed, but thor
oushly healed. No spicula OF bone ever
