The speed of Governor Stanford

The speed of Governor Stanford ; horses is becoming greater than tha, of his railway trains The other day, at Hart ford, linda Rose, a three. year-old, trotted mile in 2:ao. Now comes Bonita, another three year-old and trots a quarter in 3II, or at the rate of mile in less than l:c8. The average speed of Governor Sanford 's frst.class passenger trains is a5 miles, or at the rate of 2;3o. But then the horses are for the Governors amuse. ment, and the trains are for the use of the public.

or the governors of the thirty eight states, twenty seven are Democrats, and only eleven hold allegiance to the Republican party. The reader cannot but have remarked that only four Of the number are states where the polt, ical situation is such as to relieve the Republicans of anxiety. Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Yer. mont may, perhaps, be regarded as still solid in every detail, but the Re. publlcans hold Indiana only by virtue of Dorsey's campaign of bribery, while they were forced to divide the state offices in the last Illinois cleo tion. Iowa is yet theirs, but it ha, been so consistently of late the theatre of incessant tribulation that no Re- publican can turn to it with anything but feeling of grief. Maine, New Hampshire, Oregon and Wisconsin are Republican by majorities so small and uncertain that it is impossible for the most sanguine Republican to b, confident that they will not take thei proper places in the Democratic pro cesson at the very next election.- Silver Belt

 And the quill driver of the Miner knows as much about the Democracy of Mohave as a chicken does of Latin. When the time comes, the Democracy of this county will speak loud and strong, probably, and a Democratic ticket will be elected which will not be composed of Mineral Park men en. tirely.

We wonder whether the editors who

We wonder whether the editors who are abusing MT Oury, our delegate to congress, realize that they are only increasing his popularity. In order to injure man, facts must be pro. duced, and we fail to see wherein any damaging fact has been produced to the injury of Delegate Oury. There. fore, the cheap abuse with which he is assailed will fall harmless to the ground as far as Mir. Oury is concerned and only weaken the influence of his assdilants. There is too much squab- bling among the editors of Arizona. It won't help the Territory any, either. Era.

Smith and C. R. Williams were both at the depot to see that things moved along smoothly, and they started the traln away on time. Frank COCkburn; bound for Flagstaff, and Col. Molly neux Bell, going to Gallup, were among the passengers in the sleeper,
 All along the line of the road, il being Sunday, the inhabitants of th, towns had turned out in large num- bers to cheer the first through train, and were very enthusiastic in then demonstrations.
 The first east bound train arrived from San Francisco last night, and besides sleeper for St. Louis, via Halstead, it had also a silver palace car, which will go west from tn point oday.-Albuquerque Journal.

CANDLEMAs DAY.-Friday next, the Cd of
man Catholic festival of the Publication of the
Virgin Mary. 1t is festival Of great antiquity,
and receives its name from the fact that on this
day the candles and tapers used throughout the
year are blessed by the clergy, and afterwards
lighted and burned during solemn procession.
This candle-bearing is understood to refer to
what Simeon said when he took the infant
Jesus in his arms and declared that he was "a
light to tighten the Gentiles." 1t was the GUS
tom on Candlemas Eve to carefully remove all
the Christmas decorations from churches and
houses. Herrick alludes TO this as follows
That so the superstitious find
No one least branch left there behind
For look how many leaves there be
Neglected there maids, trust to me.
So many goblins you shall see.
Candlemas Day ia distinguished, also, in qnite
a different way, If old traditions arc true An
old Scottish rhyme says.
IT Candlemas day be dry and fair.
The half o. winters to come and mair;
If Candlemas day be wet and foul,
The half o. winters gone at Yule.
Another old adage says "As far as the sun
shines in the barn door so far will the snow
blow in"
The most popular legend, however, is that the
woodchuck or ground hog comes out of the
hole in which he has been taking his winter nap,
and looks at the weather. If the sun is shining
so that he can see his shadow, he goes back
again, assured that there will be six weeks more
of winter. If, however, his shadow is
not visible he remains abroad, knowing that
there will be but little more cold weather.

Perrylnan.

The oyster supper given by the ladies of the
Southern Methodist church, last week, was n
decided success.
No services were held in the Southern Meth
odst church last Sunday morning. The snow
had driven under the shingles and by Sunday
it had melted and leaked through the pastering,
and the damp condition of the church was not
discovered in time to put it in order for services.
The congregation that had assembled to hear
Rev. r. r. s. llough, of Baltimore, were much
disappointed. Rev. Mr.. Hough, the pastor of
the church and large part of the congregation,
adjourned to the Episcopal church, where they
heard a sermon from the rector, Rev. G. f. Buck,
on "Personal and Family Religion" The sub,
ject was handled by the rector in such a man
ner that it possibly could not fail in carrying
conviction to the heart of the man or woman
who was derelict in his or her duty in the fami-
ly circle.

ASoTHER ROUTE PROPOSED FOR THE Is.
AND o. EXTENsToN.-Th Deer Creek Farm
ers' Club, at its meeting last Saturday, ap-
pointed committee, consisting of Messrs.
Johns H. Janney, II. Harris Archer and John
Moorcs, to confer with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad authorities, and lay before
them, in succinct form the superior advan-
tages ola route northofany oftheir recent sur
veys. 1t was argued that line running near
Churchville and down the valley Of Deer
Creek would secure as freight, in addition to
ordinary farming products, at least one-half
of the canned goods shipped from the county,
amounting, probably, to several thousand
carloads year. In addition to carrying the
goods when canned the empty cans and cases
must also be transported over the road. At
present the greater portion Of Ilarford county
canned goods find their way TO the west
their chief market--over the Pennsylvania
Railroad. 1t is believed that the right ofway
could be obtained free of cost in nearly every
case. Another advantage on that route
would be that ties and stone ballast conld be
procured cheaply.
1t was stated positively at the meeting that
the route through Hartford had not yet been
definitely decided upon, and the committee
of the farmers club hoped to be able to
present such facts as might induce the rail-
road company to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
adopting the line proposed. The committee
expected to have an interview with President
Garrett this week.

We have received, from Mr.. Edward G.
Cockey, formerly ofHarford county, but now
of New York, q copy of the charter, &c, of
the New York Cremation Society, and
pamphlet setting forth the advantages of the
reduction of the human frame to ashes, after
death, over burial in the earth Cremation
is not likely to become popular among Chris
ian people, who look for resurrection of
the dead, at the last day, when the trumpet
shall sound and the dead shall arise Whilst
it is true that the resurrection could take
place as well whether the body is burned or
buried, yet there is something repugnant in
the idea of ones ashes becoming, as they
would in time, the sport of the wind scatter
ed far and wide, until resolved into their
original elements Notwithstanding the eff.
forts to make cremation popular, the mass of
mankind will continue to bury the dead
bodies of their friends out of their sight, in
the bosom of the earth out of which they
were made. Mr.. Cockey is Treasurer of the
New York society.
