THE new standard time that Is being
adopted by the railroads will greatly sim
plify keeping track of the time. AS it
has been heretofore people travelling from
here east have been pcrplexed and pro-
voked by their watches falling behind
causing them to miss the trains on which
they intended 10 pursue their journey,
forgetting that they were under DIFF
ferent time standard, as for instance at
st. Paul, Chicago, indianapolis and so
on, each having different time. By tue
solar time standard, every degree of lon
gitude represents four minutes, and in
travelling east ones watch falls
back fovr minutes for every de-
gree of longitude passed over.
jamestown is situated on tue 99,h ihcrid-
dian west and Chicago about one-thlrd
of a degree east Of the SSth. On arriv-
ing at Chicago you will find your watcl,
Is minutes slow, and ON going TO the dc.
pot on time by your watch you Will find
the train had gone out three quarters Of
an hour before. Then you swear at your
faithful and innocent watch for losing
time when It is you that have lost your
reckoning. But the new time standard
does away with these vex-
a,ions and all points within q
merldinal division will have exactly the
same time, and when you do change time
it will be q full hour, these divisions
being fifteen degrees OF Longitude wide
Solar time ut Memphis, Tennessee, is the
standard for the central division, which
extends west Ms far as Bismarck and east
10 Columbus, OHIO, and all places within
that belt from the Gulf of Mexico north,
as far as railroads are bu,it, will have the
same time This will obviatc a great deal
of vexstious misapprehension Of time
the traveller having the correct time at
any point within the belt having the as
surance that lie has the cerrect time at
every point. j. s1t.

of the republican ticket for the next

up enormous rings, such as the whisky

became so monstrously odious to the
masses of the people that the republican

over 250, 600 majority ot the popular vote
in the presidential election in 1876, and

formidable power and were represented

The lisc0urse Of Rev. Griffith, pastor
OF The NJ. E. church, Sunday evening
upon the subject of the origin of lan..
guagc wa. quite an intellectual tleat to
those of an inqu,ring and investigating
turn OF mind. The reverend gentleman
discussed the question in scholarly
manner, without arbitrary opinion, but
presenting his theory from logita1 dtduc-
tion, which was, that language was of
divine origin and not Of human inven-
tion. He quoted several authors who
adopted the latter theory but became
lost in attempting TO find starting
point. This is subject upon which
scholars and pl'il"logists differ. and ii, d
It much easier TO tear theories down than
to construct better ones. The divine
origin theory has the advantage in anti
guilty of record at least and the only
way to tear it down is to attack the
record, for it represents the first ma n as
making use Of language IN naming the
boasts of the deld and the fowls of the
cir even before woman was created. Also
that there was but one language until
the confusion of tongues at Babel. 1t
would seem from this circumstance that
the same lnstrumentulity was used to in
treduce many different languages that
brought into existence the one or the
first, and this confusion Of tongues can
not be accounted for other than as q su-
pernstural Interpretation. The power TO
think and express thought In
scme. form are 50 closely con-
nected together that we cannot
conceive Of the one without the other.
We cannot think without putting our
thoughts in some form of words whether
they be expressed or not. 1t is not, how
ever, absolutely necessary to the acqui-
sition of language that one should hear.
In the asylums for the deaf and dumb
the mutes are taught 10 speak words
and express their ideas vocally though
they never heard . sound in their
lives. 1t 10 no more valid objection to
the divine origin of language that is used
to express prssane thoughts, bear fa,se
witness or convey impure ideas. than it is
. valid objection To the divine origin of
the body that 1t Is used I" do violence to
ones fellowman or carry of his neigh
hers coal in the darkness of the night.
Tie subject Is one that will bear a great
deal of thinking about, and you will think
about it IN the language you best under
stand, or clOthe your thoughts in English,
German, Sioux, Chinese or whatever your
native tongue may be.

Our mlllers will have cause TO remember
last weeks experience with anchor icc
and low water for long time. After
Wednesday the wat3r became very low
and very few mills could run the bslance
of the week. On the whole Of the week
they probably averaged q production Of
not over 1900 barrels per day 80 that
the estimate of $4,000 barrels made on
Wednesday needs to De corrected accord
ingly. The cold snap at times undo0bt-
tdly had much to do with the low river,

porarily. The weather coming OF warm
again the head of water since Sunday
has been satisfactory and the mills have
made the greatest possible use of II. The
production of the week will average
ls, 800 barrels per day against II, 900 bar
rels last week. Should the water power
improve towards the close Of the week,
this being written Wednesday. the pro-
duction will 60 above 49, 500 barrels. The
