The death of POstmaster-G eneTal

stoned, have brought around the presi
dent horde of office seekers, whose

disgraceful. In accordance with the

should be promoted to the postmaster

conservative element in the party
which won in the nomination of Gar

of Hayes administration. If stalwart
principles count for anything with the
present administration the indi-

Hatton has made an efficient assistant,
he is entitled to be promoted.

Municipal elections were held IN CIT
les in various parts of the country on
Tuesday. While these elections result
ed favorahly for both political parties,
there were democratic gains IN many
places which show that the leaven OF
discomfort is working in the republican
organization. They do not indicate an
increased degree of confidence IN the
democratic party, only so far as the
success of that party in certain local
tiles might favor the beer-drlnkIng
propensities of the Germans. Aside
from this. the elections indicate that
party lines are loosely drawn, and that
in the future freemen cannot be driven
to the polls, like sheep to the shambles,
to vote for the success of any ticket,
even a party with as glorious rec
ord us the republican party.

At BraidwOod, ILL.,, the fact that
bodies discovered in the Diamond
mine were to be brought out Sunday
drew a large crowd. About three
o'clock news was brought that party
who had gone after bodies had been
imprisoned in the roadway while put
ting the bodies in collins. The ex-
citement on top was intense. The
wives and relatives of the men in the
mine were wild with grief over the
prospective death of their friends. A
party was at once sent to search for
them and discovered that "A large
pile of stone had caved in and blocked
up the narrow passage way. The
men were, however, liberated. One
man was so Frustrated that he had
to be carried home. Other searchers
say they will not go down again. 1t
is thought that no further search will
be made, as no man can be found
willing to go down.

An Indiana Snake Story.


For several years past reports and
rumors in regard to a gigantic snake
disporting himself in the near vicinity
of the town at various times, have
disturbed the even current of the
good folks's lives hereabouts. About
noon to-day Clark Kosher. a highly
respected citizen of our neighboring
town of Spiceland, arrived in town
with blood-curdling account of an
interview with the monster, occurring
on the road about half a mile from
town. a battalion of well-armed citi-
Zens was hastily organized and pur-
suit instituted. The horrid reptile
was discovered in a piece of thick
woods full of mderbrush, IT took
after a boy, and while in the act of
gobbling the youngster was shot
twice by Elwood Pleas, editor of the
Newcastle Mercury, who put both
loads from . double-barre shotgun
into it, and also by a darkey, who
fired five shots into it with revolver
The "critter' was brought to town,
and now lies stretched out in front of
the Mercury Office, where it is an OBJ
iect of intense interest to the curious
crowds who throng about it, 1t
measures As feet 9 inches in length,
and girths, 4 feet from the eyes, %

Alexander, of this town, in climbing
a fence, was thrown over bank

capped from a menagerie in times past,
though no such incident is remem-
bered as occurring in this vicinity

dense forest. 1t became a region of
mystery. over which none can gaze
without a strange thrill of interest, and
wonder at what may be hidden in
that vast area covering all things
with deep repose. 1t is not the deer
of which we think. treading the deep.
rich moss among the stately lamar
ack: nor the bear luxmiating in the
berry patch ON the mountain side; nor
the panther or the wolf in their
lonely and desolate wilds, seeking
their feast of blood. We gaze down
ward upon the almost undecipherable
pages of the worlds annals. Yet
there are marks and traces here and
there which tell in brief, irregular,
and fragmentary way to those who
can decipher such inscriptions. the
prehistoric growth of centuries. the
origin of rivers, spread of vegetable
and animal life and the approach Of
man. Mr.. Colvin's glowing descrip-
ton does no more than justice to the
grandeur and picturesqueness of the
scene. His thousand centuries might
read a thousand millenniums and not
cover the vast period that these old
rocks have battled with geoplastic
forces
Recent explorations have developed
the curious and interesting fact, that
the irregular and meandering outlines
of the metamorphic rocks
are the zig-zag outlines of the
Adirondack wilderness, and of
the present range of the black bear
and the panther. The pioneer settler
and farmer instinctively, but mcon-
sciously stopped when he reached
that line, and made his clearing on
land underlaid by fossiliferous de-
posts. Prof Glikie, in an article on
the influences that Geology Had
Exercised ON English History, speaks
of a parallel circumstance in the
British isles. He states that the
Roman invaders took possession only
of territory underlaid by the old red
sandstones and carboniferouS deposits;
that they drove the original possess
ors of the soil into the sterile lands
underlaid by the crystalline rocks of
Scotland, and that all subsequent
Teutonic invaders stopped instinct
lively at this geological line, and tn at
to this day, IN spite of the coming
ling of races. it still serves to define
the respective areas of English and
Gaelic speaking peoples. Boston
