Some of the up country papers are
beginning to talk that Sam Peterson,
OF New Ulm, wants Representative
Wakefield's place, and is "going to
have it," We guess not. Hon. J. B.
is doing very we'll and will succeed
himself, unless something turns up
bigger than peterson BOOM run
by Democratic wind.-- Waseca Radi-
cal.
The story that Hon. S. D. Peterson
is anxious to succeed Hon. j. B.
Wakefield in Congress, is absurd in the
exit eme. Mr.. Peterson has never in.
timated either by word or deed that
he had any Congressional aspirations,
and ever if he had, he would not enter
the field against his old friend, Mr..
Wakefield. Content yourself, Mr..
Radical, there is no "Peterson boom"
THAT Sam knows of--run by Demo-
cratic or any other kind of wind.

We are panied to learn that Mr.. Max
Zeller is dangerously sick. He has
been indisposed ever since Martin
Hoses wedding last fall, at which
time he caught bad cold while play
ing with the Silver Cornet band, but
not until recently did his sickness take
serious turn. Last Friday evening
he was seized with a bad coughing
spell, which terminated with serious
hemorrhage of the lungs. Medical
assistance was promptly summoned
and the unfortunate young man is now
doing as we'll as could be expected
under the circumstances.
The attention Of our readers is res.
pectfully called to the advertisement,
in another column, of D. NJ. Ferry &
Co., Detroit Mich, the celebrated
seedsmen. They do the largest bust
ness in their line in the United States;
raise the bulk of their seed on their
own farms, by the most approved
methods, and have obtained a world
wide reputation for the quality and
variety of the seed they put upon the
market, and their integrity in filling
all orders entrusted to them. Their
beautiful Seed Annual for 1884, sent
free to all who apply for it, will be
found of practical value to all who de.
sire to purchase seeds true to name.

As yet l was uncertain as to what means they would adopt for my final disposal, but this was soon settled, for the man whom had seen in the road told one of the boys to go and bring an axe and rope. Then l knew that they were going to hang me, and could sec the expressions of fendish pleasure on the faces of my captors. They would hang me, and then with the axe, chop me into an undistinguishable mass. While they were exulting in their hellish expectations, a hope sprang up wi,Lin me, and assuming an expression that would lead them to believe in my isnor- ance of their intentions, remarked that, as my mule was not securely tied, would go out and look after him. l mounted my mule, and observing that was not watched very closely, I dashed away just as the boy returned with the rope.

TIE recent riot at Cincinnati was another important suggestion to those who have in charge the enforcement oi the law. The "crank who, with more sentimentalism than justice, cries out against capital punishment, and who, in a great measure, is responsible for much of the laxity in our judiciary system should ponder over this occurrence. Murderers must be hanged, the same as mad dogs must be killed It is very well 10 speak of legalized barbarity. and express pity for the condemned criminal,
 but liberal use of the rope is ,he mos, effective means of securing that regard for the life of man at which the law aims. The civilization of Arkansaw is not regarded as the hishes, type of society, buG in this state .he crimina, law comes nearer being enforced to the letter than in any other commonwealth. Here 1t IS understood that murders must suffer the death grip of the la.'s mighty hand Money and iri'ueEoe. important factors in any state, have failed here to rescue the justly condemned criminal. One dead murderer is of more good to a state than dozen live ones, although some philosopher has said ,ha. the worst use 10 which you can put man is 10 hang him.

Human and Brute Endurance.

The feat of walking six hundred and
ten miles in six days, accomplished by
Fitzgerald, Is perhaps the most remark
able instance of human endurance that
has ever taken place. Ii any man or
the record has been lost. Horses have
been driven over hundred miles 4
day, but never for two days in success
sion. Dromedaries have been known
to travel ninety miles per day for four
days in succession. 1t is SAID that the
ostrich can make the remarkable speed
of twenty-five miles an hour, but it is
doubted if one could be trained to get
over six hundred and ten miles in six
days. wl rE si
1t is more than likely that the pedes-
trian exhibition of the future will be
contest between men and fieet-footed
and enduring representatives of the
brute creation. Ii has long been be-
lieved that the power and endurance OF
man is far greater than that of any
other animal. Indians have often been
known to catch deer in fair races con-
tinued hour after hour and day after
day until their game was completely
exhausted. The late contest was be-
tween men of differen. races and ma
tionalities. Of course a race would be
much more interesting if the higher
dumb animals should be admitted on
equal terms with men, The proposition
to pit human beings against beasts in
race might not be considered as in con-
-sonance with this sge of civilization. 1t
is more than probable. however, that
the Strongest Opposition to such Con-
tests would come from the societies for
the prevention of cruelty to animals

Oriental Superstition.

Two young ladies were gazing at the
white elephant as it stood enthroned in
all its sacred splendor and surrounded
by the mystic emblems of its. holy char
aeter and the adoring priests who were
kneeling devoutly on every side.
How curious it is, remarked one,
THAT any race of people should be SO
deluded as to worship an elephant"

we arrived at Delphi, Homer's rocky

power must have appeared. from the

The physical conformation of the hills
and rocks about Delphi is, most remark
able. The perpendicular wall behind
the village presents an almost semi-cir-
culaJ concavity. like the cavea of a thea

view, separated only by narrow in
terval from the rocky front of Mount
Kirphis. on the other side of the deer

conformation. especially as we saw il
from the tops of the Phaedriades, gives

physical features that gave to Delphi
the name of .'the navel of the earth"

merely to the circular or elfiptical stone

in his Pythian Odes-odes probably
chanted on the sacred spot itself-who
first gave it this title, and he. with the

+ There is more than ordinary interest
in the story that comes from Concord,
n. H., of a young lawyer too proud to
beg dying of sheer starvation. For two
years he had been member of the Con-
cord bar. He had fair ability, was in
dustriouS. temperate and honest But
the procession was full. There was not
work enough for him to do and he could
not earn enough TO keep soul and body
together. For weeks he subsisted. or
tried TO, on crackers and water; but in
the end he was forced to yield and was
found dead in his office.
The chances are that he misunder-
stood his vocstion. Had ne been really
gifted with a genius for the law. he
would have made his way even in the
conservative State of New Hampshire.
But he wss most likely cot out for
