The cholera is dying ont in Spain

The cholera is dying ont in Spain
and is no longer dreaded in Toulon
and Marseilles. But in little towns
near those cities the mortality is
even greater, id proportion to the
number of inhabitants, than it has
been at any time this year within

quarantine against Sicily, in whose

The New Orleans City Item has
this to say of Senator Eustis and his
impolitic attack on the administra
tion: ''Having made serious blum
der, Senator Eustis has not yet dis
covered that silence, under the cir
cumstanccs, would be golden. In
stead Of submitting to the inevita
BILE, he undertakes to pose as a dem
ocratic leader, and in striving to
maintain false position, he covers
himself with the verbal froth Of hi
own vindictivencss and the venom
of his spleen. lis diatribo on party
discipline, prepared for the North
American Review, and photographed
to the 'rimes-Democrat, is so utterly
impolitic and illogical as to indicate
II madness, such as that imposed by
the gods on those they are deter
mined to destroy"

EXCURSION RATES.
Christmas and New Years Holiday.

The G. W. & b. r. r. heralds the ap-
proach of the holiday season with the
usual announcement of reduced rates.
On Dec. oath and 25th, 31st and Jan. 1st,
the G. W. & B. r. r. will sell excursion
tickets between all stations at one and
one-third fare for the round trip, all tick
cts to be good returning until Jan. 2nd.
Children to be allowed half this rate.
The long limit of these tickets permits
everybody to visit the old homestead-or
wherever else the family or friendly re-
union may be. Then, too Santa Claus is
to be interviewed for the benefit of the
children at some one of the various head
quarters which. by the way, seem unu-
sually attractive and enticing this season,
and when New Years day comes, the Gus
tomary call is to be made, so the reduced
rate for the holidays is seasonable, and
will be appreciated accordingly.

Stepping into Rice's store few even
ings ago, the proprietor invited us to
guess how many lamps he had sold since
supper. Giving it up, were informed that
twenty-five dollars worth had been dis
posed of within two or three hours time.
1t is not surprising, for the lamps, glass
ware and the like form an attractive fea-
ture of the great store. 1t would pay the
citizens of this community to call at
Rice's when in need of goods. A long
acquaintance with this trade has enabled
M Rice to put in just such goods as are
needed, and the prices are low enough for
anybody. A full stock of dry goods, and
a full line of notions and fancy goods, will
be found there. He keeps plenty of first
class groceries, and in fact full general
store. Don't permit the Holidays to pass
without calling on Mr.. Rice. Santa Claus
will purchase great portion of his fine
candies of Rice.

More than twenty years ago, Com
pany was formed for the purpose of bor-
ing for oil, near Charley Loves, in Jack
son Township. Gilbert Robbins was a
member of this Company, and sunk some
money. A certain tract of land in the
immediate vicinity of the well was
leased, and the boring begun. Slight in
dications of oil were discovered, but af-
ter going down more than two hundred
feet, the well was abandoned. The lease
to the lands only ran out few days ago,
but all the oil ran out twenty years ago
ran out at the bottom of the well.

Tins Christnas2
j. II. M.

The great bells were ringing-the dull wintry air
Seemed the warm, cheerful notes to repeat,
While visions of beauty shone full in the glare
OF the lamps that llumined the great thoroughfare
OF the busy and boisterous street.
The children of Fortune went hurrying by,
And wealth in luxuriance stone-
Distress called in vain, they heard not the cry,
They knew not the heart that heayed the sad sigh
In the pitiless street, all alone.
In the light of a vision-the glory of Art
In happiest fancy displayed
To capture the senses-a joy to impart,
An appeal to the buoyant and eager young heart,
In beauty and splendor arrayed.
Full in the rich golden rays of the light
Were the Gags of the Nations unfurl'd,
While the birds and the flowers in coloring bright,
Proclaimed the shades of the dull cherries night
The joy of miniature world.
There's mocking of fate-a distress of the soul
OF the lonely and covering Tim,
Though the laughter rings loud and the carriages
roll,
The lamps brightly glare and the bells sweetly TOLL
There's no cheering message for him.
Colder and colder the cruel winds blow,
Like knell to the perishing form,
In swift-fying eddies the light-falling snow
Steals gracefully over the cold earth below.
And CLEANS in the hre-light warm.
Beyond the weak vision the picture hath fed,
uAway to his hovel he steals
Thou God of the orphan in mercy e~-ed
The light of Thy presence around the poor bed
Which the depth of his sorrow reveals.
On the silence and gloom shines glittering star,
And the weary eyes open anew,
For voice filed with mercy is sounding afar,
Across the dark lake, by the great harbor-bar
Which breaks in the fasf-failing vfew
The sconings of mcrtais fade swiftly away,
And the sky shines peaceful and clear
When Want at last his steed grim and gray,
With demon-clutch seeking his innocent prey.
A friend and protector is near.
Though man, in his strength. passes haughtily by.
And heeds not the suffering one;
Though gloomy and drear shines the temporal sky,
There's light which is borrowed from glory on high
Which shines more clear than the sum-
For woman, an angel of charity came,
And the clouds went out by the door;
Unknown in wealth's circles, stranger to fame,
But bathed in the light of glorious name
The jov of the world eyermore.
IT'S the light which at Bethlehem glimmered above
The form in the low manger-bed
And spirit descends, like the form of dove,
And teaches the soul of Gods bounteous love
On the lives of His faithful ones shed.
BY sorrows grim shade, the gloom of the grave,
The rays of His glory will fall
In tracings of beauty to gild the dark wave,
For we live in the light of His presence who gave
A glad, merry Christmas to all.

Humphrey Hustled!
SCORE ANOTHER SUCCESS For The
JACKSON DoGGERIEs

A year or more ago an odd-looking
man with his hide full of whisky, giving
his name as Humphrey Jones, called at
the Standard Office and volunteered his
opinion of the course the paper was pur-
suing in denouncing the in
fernal work of the low doggeries that in
fest this town. He believed in personal
liberty" and lots of it-say about quart
at time On discovering that his opin-
ion was not considered valuable, he re-
tired. He has been wasting all his earn
| ings ever since he has been in this COM
munity, working as a coal miner, and
giving his earnings to much worse men
than himself, who live like pirates off of
such men as he.
On last Saturday Humphrey got on a
big drunk, as was his custom after pay
day. He reeled and tumbled around from
one doggery to another, until after dark,
when the police began to look for him,
to shut him up or drive him home. He
was in Conrad's rancho, near the Rink,
after dark, and in one or two others of the
line Of doggeries that line the way from
the center of town to the o. S. depot.
About half-past eight o'clock, or a little
later, he was observed by Jack Miller, a
railroader, in the shadow of Guilford
Webb's shop, near the track of the 0. S.
road. The yard engine was moving up
the track backwards, and when near the
drunken man he attempted to stagger
across the track Miller shouted to him,
and ran towards him to try to get him
out of the way, as it was evident that he
must be struck. Mr.. John Cast, the en-
gineer, quickly reversed his engine, and
did his best to save the man, but the ten
der struck him, knocking him down, and
killing him almost instantly. The engine
was moving so slowly that it stopped
with the man under the brake. The en-
gine was started a little, and the man
taken out, but only breathed few times
His head was bruised, his right arm cut
off, and his body badly crushed. He was
picked up and carried to the town-house,
on Portsmouth street, where the Coroner
held an examination, and from which
place the deceased was taken on Sunday
to the new cemetery and buried.
Jones was a native of Wales, about
forty years of age. He came here few
years ago from Pennsylvania. He had
no family, and occupied shanty near
the mines. He was working we believe
at the Newport mine, at the time of his
death, or rather at the time of starting
upon his last spree. He was only one of
great crowd of men upon whom the
doggery-keepers of Jackson are getting in
their work There are three of these dens
within fifty yards of the point where the
man was killed. We suggest the propri-
ETY. of every doggery-keeper in Jackson
putting ON badge of mourning express
i've of grief that poor old Humphrey is
gone. and can not work for any more
money to give to them.

A laudable thing in connection with
the death of Humphrey Jones, is the in
nocent air put on by the doggery-keepers
of Jackson. Of course none of them ev-
er sold him anything. They all "knew
him to be drunkard," and of course
they would not sell to man in the habit
of getting intoxicated! The fact of the
matter is, that anybody can buy the liq-
uor if he has the money to pay for it. 1t
don't generally make much difference
about the age or condition of the pur-
chaser other
