To most people joseph T..
aid, who, 8 things look now,
10 very likely to be the next
candidate of the Democrats for the
Presidency Of the United States. is known
hardly at all outside. Of his six years Of
Senatorial life which came to him as n
of the results Of Democratic success in
1874. Prior to that he had q local celeb
rity and q popularity which makes him
known throughout Indiana, among the
older men as "Joe" Mcdonald, and as
"Uncle Joe" among the younger. His
six feet figure. inclining now . bit to
s~toutness. the big feet and hands, his
large head, covered with brown hair fast
turning to gray, his reddish face smoothly
shaven except for q heavy mustache,
and his gruff hearty voice and handshake,
make up a personality which is known
in every hamlet in that State. Indiana
is proverbially = land Of politicians, but
none of them have succeeded in gaining
the confidence of the masses more than
he. The Mcdonald family settled in
Ohio o after the revolution. 1t is
now widely spread through that and the
~neighboring States. clinging still to those
stern Scottish Presbyterian ideas which
have always been cherished by that clan.
Mr.. Mcdonald was born not quite "a
years ago in Butler County, Ohio, and
was taken to Indiana in childhood. When
but . boy the death Of his father left the
family poor, and he was apprenticed to
= saddler at Lafayette. He served three
years in that capacity. studying At all
opportunities. Then he attended two
years at the Ashbury University. left be-
fore graduation in order to study law,
and in 1843 was finally admitted to the
bar. His course up to that time had
awakened the interest Of his neighbors,
and that very year he was elected by the
Democrats Prosecuting Attorney for the
Charlottesville Circuit. His practice
had grown so large that he declined in
lS47 to serve longer, but the next year
was elected to Congress in an overwhelm.
ingly Wing district. Two years later
he was beaten, but in 1856 he was taken
up by his party and elected Attorney
General OF the State. In 1860 the Re.
publicans made a clean sweep, which
cost him his place, but not until he had
won a position at the bar which has never
since been lost. During the war he was
. consistent Union man, and did much
against the various secret organizations
which were formed by Indiana Demo
Gratis in aid OF the rebels. This gave
him in 1864 the nomination for Governor
against Oliver P. Morton, followed by
inevitable defeat. From this time he
kept aloof from politics for some years,
but was active in opposing the Green
back heresy, and in 1874 was the unani-
nous choice Of his party for Senator.
In the Senate he served on the Judiciary
Committee, of which he was the second
member when his term closed, and in
other positions for which his legal knowl-
edge was required. Some excellent
speeches are credited to him, and he
earned q general reputation for economy
and careful legislation, which will stand
him in good stead if ever brought for
ward for national office. In 1881 he gave
way to Senator Harrison, and since then
has held no Office.

Curran; "get your friend to draw, with
a piece of chalk, my exact figure on your
body, and all shots outside will not

struck him, as Bierne's did Elan, in the
thigh, and famed him for life. In this
case the little man escaped unhurt.

Meeting Of Old Settlers.
A GRAND REUNION


. Dr.. Burleigh for whom this county was named
having had contract for grading fifty miles on
this end Of the North Pacific that year, being in
the city on the 24,h inst, it was suggested that
meeting Of old settlers be held at the court
house in the, afternoon, At4 p. m. the band
led the advance to the court room which was
fected as noted below. .,-g7z ;e{ Sir q
1t is proper to say hat ihe first settlers in
the vicinity If Bismarck were Capt. VIM. Har-
mon. Henry snetb, Joseph Miller, Joseph
DIETRICH, Mike Feller and VIM. a. Mercer. Psr-
haps half a dozen %, hers struggled in prior to
1872 when Bismarck was located by Col. Geo.
!, W. Sweet and party for the Lake Superior and
Puget Sound company. The total population
of North Dakota at that time, including half
bloods, would not exceed twelve hundred.
There was not q settler between Bismarck and
Fargo in those! days. No land surveyed, no
bonanza farms, no thriving or aspiri' vii ages,
no poi fti.ianr, no capital commission. Con-
siderable of settlem Mt sprang up at Bismarck
during tbesummer Of 1852, andlit ws4 proposed
to form IN organisation of the old timers, and
it wss for this purpose the; meeting was called.
Capt. Harmon called the meeting tot order,

district, are looking we'll Operations

the sale is looked upon as almost Ger,

At the Summers mine new strike
has been made in the lower tunnel.
The ledge is about six feet wide, and
will assay in the neighborhood of
5000 per ton. From the strength and
richness of the vein and the depth at
which it has been penetrated, this is
regarded as the most important strike
yet made in the mine. The little five
stamp mill is running steadily aud
cleaning up from 100000 to S25 200
per month. The record of its seasons
work will probably be one of the best
ever made by a mill of its capacity.

Sergeant mason.

tits unpopular, we know, but it is
true, that Sergeant Mason, who shot at
Gulteau, ought not to be pardoned.
He was soldier of the United States
who had been detailed to guard the
prisoner. 1T was not for him to con
slider what the crime of the prisoner
might have been. The prisoner was
in the hands of the law, and his dele
gated duty was to prevent both the
prisoners escape on the one hand, and
any violence happening to him from
the outside. He betrayed his soldierly
trust, and constituted himself judge,
jury and executioner all at once. He
ought to suffer for it Che full term of
his sentence. No other soldier should
ever in the future, when given Il sol
emn trust, for any cause be led to
believe that lie codld safely violate
that trust. Mason Simply stands guilty
of violating the most sacred obligation
of a soldier and attempting murder,
ard is not IL proper subject for maud

question as to the cause of young
Lochinvar's coming out of the West.
Certainly. Scott tells it all in the
second line of the poem Through
all the wide border his steed was the
best" In the far West the possession
by a stranger of the finest piece of
horse flesh in the country is apt to
arouse suspicion, and it is often con.
sidered better policy to slide quietly
out of the way than it is to linger and
endeavor to explain matters.-DegrOit
