AUBURN, Nov. 15.-The authorities of
Livingston. Cattaraugus and Cayuga

himself Charles Wesley Sherman. He
is said to have wife in Dansvllle, Liv-
ingston county, another in Springvile,
Cattaraugus county, and in August last

About three weeks ago he left his wife

O'Brien that he has been appointed weigh
er of Brooklyn. The power of appointment
rests with the Secretary of the Treasury

DAY it was said that O'Brien preferred n
less responsible position, and that he will
decline the weighership when offered.
Others, how ever, assert that position
worth s2500 year, and with such patron

Advantages Of Weeping.

A French physician gives q long
dissertation on the advantages of
groaning and crying in general, and
especially during surgical operation.
He contends that groaning and cry
ing are two grand operations by
which nature ailays anguish; that
those patients who give way to their
natural feelings more speedily re-
cover from accidents and operations
than those who suppose it unworthy
in a man to betray such symptoms Of
cowardice to either groan or cry. He
tells Of man who reduced his pulse
from 126 to go in few hours by Civ
ing full vent to his emotions. If peo-
pie are at all unhappy about anything
let them go into their rooms and COM
fort themselves with loud boo hoo.
snd they will feel 100 per cent. bet
ter afterward. In accordance with
the above, the crying Of children
should not be too greatly discourag-
ed. What is natural is always use-
full, and nothing can be more natural
than the crying of children when any
thing occurs to give them physical OF
mental PAIN.

Significant.

A prominent, weIl-to-do farmer,
sterling citizen and Democrat said
to us a few days since. sBefore we
have another election IN Charlton
county, 1 am in favor of circulating
petitions among the citizens request
ing the candidates to refrain from
the practice of treating during the
time they are electIoneering, giving
notice In said petitions that our suf-
frages will be withheld from any
and all candidates that persist in a
course SO detrimental to the public
good" We mention this in order
to give sensible, thoughtful, lntelli-
gent people chance to see and de-
termlne for themselves the tendency
of the general scramble for Office and
the means employed by some to Sc
cure success. One tendency is to
debar men from being candidates
who have not the money to pay the
expenses of a campaign, which in
some instances are enormous.
Another is in the employment of
means at which the feelings of refined
nature must revolt, but which are
forgotten, overlooked or endorsed
because Of the ends sought. Anoth-
er is to corrupt and debauch the
people especially the young voters
who without consideration vote for
the candidate that treats" because
he is their ideal of ''good fellow
We do not desire to be classed as in
ovaters, except it be to abolish GUS
toms that are hurtful and detrimen-
tai to private and public interests.
We believe this custom IS one of
this kind, hence we say away withit.

SOME fellow who has evidently
trod the rugged paths of journalism
pgets off thefollo wing: 1.-The printing
press has made presidents, killed
poets. furnished bustIes for beauty,

paper of criticism. 1t has made
worlds get up to roll; given the pub
pit lungs of iron and voice of steam.
1t has set the price of bushel Of
wheat, and has made the country
postofice the gllmmering goal of the
rural scribe. 1t has curtailed the
power of kings, embellshed the pam
try shelves, and busted rings it has
exposed fraud, brought criminals to
punishment, it has furnished the
whole female race with dress pat
terms has converted bankers into
paupers, made wood-sawyers of coll
lege presidents; it has educated the
homeless lad and robbed the philos-
opher of his reason. It smiles and
kicks and cries and dies-but it can't
be run to suit everybody, and the
editor is fool who tries it"

SEcRErARY BAYARD did himself
credit in the sensible and dignifed
tone of his letter to an Irish society
in Philadelphia which invited him to
a banquet. After stating his inabll-
ity to be present on the occasion, be
said. I'm the midst Of anarchial
demonstrations which we witness Ia
other lands, and the echoes Of which
we can detect even here In our own
free country, where base aud silly
individuals seek tostaln the name Of
Ireland by assoclating the honest
struggle for just government with
senseless and wickid crimes, there
is no class of citizens from whom
honest appreciation can be more con-
fidentially expected tnan such as com-
pose your respected and benevolent
society" The society" however
failed to do itself credit or show that
it reclprocated the sentiments Of the
secretary-his letter was not read.
Its most obvious effect thus far has
been to draw forth diatribe from q
dynamite organ upon the secretary's
s'puppyism. Itis not easy to con-
lecture what the society expected
from man occupying the position
Of Mr.. Bayard. 1t is high time that
the alien element in our population
were thoroughly disabused Of the
idea that they are to receive any en-
couragement from our government
in their dastardly warfare against
other nations.
