Mr.. EDITOR Whilst q Young man from
Woodlawn and several young ladies from
Liberty Grove, were returning from
the Fair held at Rowlandville at late hour
on Saturday night last, the young man
complained of being tired, SO the young
ladies concluded to procure rail upon
which to convey the young man gently over
the weary road, after carrying him consid-
cradle distance it was suggested that one Of
the young ladies' ga fair specimen of female
beauty" should be placed upon the rugged
seat, which was formerly occupied by the
young man: No sooner had she been placed
in comfortable position than the rail
broke cansirg terrable shock to both lady
and Mother Earth. We would advise young
ladies to be more careful in the future and
procure more servlcable conveyance as it
might result seriously in the end.

The Sphinx.

Three weeks ago in discussing the
local option-or rather socalled local
option-the MIDLAND JOURNAL. in
the name OF the earnest temperance
people of the county, asked the candi.
dates who are now before the people
craving their votes for seats in the Leg
islature, to answer whether, in case Of
of their election, if they would use
their best efforts to secure an amend
ment of the present law, so as to make
it effective for the purpose it was in
tended, and such law as the large
majority of our people desire and in
tended it should be. These men enter
tain sphinx.like silence. Had ru
NOR gone abroad which cast a doubt on
the party allegiance of any one of these
eight men, he would have buried in
hot haste to deny the ''base calumny"
in card over his signature. So much
fir the power OF party servility, and
the despotic control of the professional
politician So little do candidates for
political office regard the best interest
ofthe people. or fear their displeasure.
So much do they fear the intense earn
estness of the rum interest and SO
mild and lenient, and irresolute, and
so half.hearted do they regard the tenn
perance and law and order loving por-
ton of people who constitute the great
mass of their constituency. Until the
temperance people manifest the same
decided purpose to do and dare, that
the rnm interest bravely manifests, SO
long will they be held in contempt by
all aspirants for political office; de-
pend upon the cowardice of party to
override all scruples, and lead their
constituents up to vote on venture
for the candidates the machinery of
party has placed before them. If tenn
perance, local option men had the cour.
age of their convictions to declare, and
stick to their declaration, that they
would vote for no candidate who cast a
doubt on his future action by remaining
in the shadow of silence, they would
answer with no uncertain sound.
We know that very great majority
of the best people of the county are
anxious to know what course the can
didates who are expecting their suf-
frage, will pursue, if elelected, in regard
to the present sham local option law,
but this wish is mocded by an unbrok-
en- silence. Will you stand this; or
have you manhood and straightfor-
ward determination enough not to
stand it? The local option question is
leading political question but not a
party question. Let the temperance
organizations call convention and
prepare to act in concert.

complication of serious diseases which
caused her much suffering and her
friends much anxiety. By the contin-
tinued practice of abstinence and
much self denial however she succeed

former health, which she continued to
possess until the past spring. when she
was again seriously attacked, and
though usually hopeful, continued to
decline in health until her death, which
occurred on the night of August Goth.
