friends doubted his ability to complete the work
We watched every step of its progress with in
tense interest and when the last spike was
driven, and the great highway of commerce
from ocean to ocean was opened, thrill of JOY
went up from the people of the Pacific coast,
We realized, too, that we were made a part of
the bands of iron and inseparable forever We
realized that we were within reach of the homes
of our childhood with facilities for reaching
there. and the prospect of mingling with our
friends and reviving the pleasant recollections
of early life. This great work was regarded as a
bright omen of our future prosperity.
The Central Pacific Railroad and other rail
roads built throughout the State of California
opened up market for our produce, and brought
into cultivation lands that had been barren
wastes and has added millions TO our wealth,
and to no individual are we more indebted for
this progress than TO Leland Stanford.
He has been nominated by the dominant party
of this Legislature to represent us in the United
States Senate He received that nomination
without even announcing himself candidate
without putting forth any personal efforts to
secure his election-an anomaly in the history
of American politics. He enters upon the
duties of that position without any political en-
ENGAGEMENTS and free from all promises except
the implied promise, faithfully to serve the peO-
pie of this State. And, when elected, his I'M
blemished character and superior intelligence,
and the love of the State in which he has spent
the best years of his life the charity which he
has in contemplation, and the steps he has al
ready taken to carry them out, afford us an
ample guarantee that he will represent us hon

Strange Freaks of Lightning.

Mrs. Gesner, who lives in a two
story frame house at Manuel, Rock
land Co., n. Y, was sitting in her
kitchen with her babe in her lap one
evening recently when a heavy thun-
derstorm struck the town. While
watching the lightning which flashed
into the room through the windows,
ball of fire suddenly appeared in
front of the stove close to her feet.
The ball was vivid brilliancy, and
made a noise like "a humming top.
Mrs. Gesner did not move, although
thoroughly frightened. A moment
later the ball exploded with a slight
report, but did no injury either to the
mother or her child or the furniture
in the room. In room on the next
floor, however, Mrs. Gesner found
that a mirror stand had been shatter-
ed Several persons who visited tho
house the next day and made an ex'
animation of the place were unable to
find where the ball had entered the
building. 1t is supposed that it came
down the stove pipe.

Thurlow Weeds Story.
How Lawyer Came to His De-
fense-The Secret Out.

The late Thurlow Weed, who was
sometimes called The Priam of the
Press because he was the father of SO
many newspapers, once-told me an in
teresting incident of his life which has
been inadvertently ommitted from his
memoirs. 1t was during the war or
1872, when he was living in Coopers-
town, N. Y, the home of thes yet un-
fiedged novelist, and was setting type
as journeyman tprinter. L was 10
years old and I fell in love with Cath
crime Ostrander, my landlad Is daught-
er, two years younger than was. Her
folks objected, very properly, to her
marrying a strolling printer. without
money or anything else, and I agreed
to wait.
About this time L got into a bad
scrape. L, with three other young fel-
lows, who were rather hard lot, was
arrested on complaint of four girls
whom we met at prayermeeting. I had
never seen them before, but we walked
home with them, and they made
charge of improper conduct against us
all. The others got bail, but had no
Iicll relatives, and prepared TO 60 to
Jail. At the examination / told the
justice had no lawyer and no money
to pay one, when, to my great surprise.
leading attorney of the town, whom X
had never spoken with and did not
know, stepped forward and gave bail
for me and offered to defend me. It
was Ambrose l.. Jordan. 1 twas de-
lighted. l did not go to Jail, and at
the trial the girls voluntarily declared
that was not a party to the offensive
transaction. 1 left town for while,
but came back in a year or two and
Catharlne Ostrander accepted NE and
we were married. / meyer forgot Jor-
dan.
Some fifteen years after that when L
was In Albany in position of some in
iuence, we wero making up .he Wing
state ticket in convention. The princi-
pal officers had been placed in nomina-
tion, when somebody said, Now for
attorney general. We must have
man down in the middle of The state.'
Il named Ambrose l.. Jordan and he
was mad our candidate and elected.
when he came up to Albany he said
to me Il have some Conscientious
scruples about accepting this Office.
You gave it to me because / defended
you In Cooperstowu when you wanted
a friend
Not entirely or exactly said. Il
merely reasoned that a man who would
come TO the rescue of an unknown and
penniless youth for the sake OF seeing
justice done had the right ideas TO make
good attorney general
WELL he answered, L am not enti-
tied to the credit you give me for either
sagacity or right feeling. / gave bail
for you and defended you because Cath
arine Ostrander came and made fuss
about you and wouldn't give me any
peace till did it. Better appoint your
wife attorney general =
1T was the first knew of her agency
in the matter. She had never told me
during all those happy married years.

Bill Nye's Philosophy.

To the young the future has a r0seate
hue. The roseate hue comes high, but
we haye to use it in this place. To the
young there spreads out a glorious
range of possibilities. After the youth
has endorsed for an intimate friend
few times, and purchased the paper at
the bank himself later on, the horizon
won't seem to horizon so tumultuousiy
as it did aforetime. I remember at one
time of purchasing such a piece of ac-
commodation paper at a bank, and +
still have 1t. / didn't need it any more
than cat needs eleven tails at one and
the same time. Still the bank made it
an object to me, and I secured it. Such
things as these harshly knock the fluff
and bloom off the cheek of youth, and
prompt us to turn the strawberry box
bottom side up before we purchase it.
Youth is gay and hopeful, age is cover
ed with experience and sears where the
skin has been knocked off and had to
grow OIL again: To the young dollar
looks large and strong, but to the.mid-
dle-aged and old it is weak and ineffi-
Gent. When we are In the heyday and
fzz of existence, we believe everything,
but after awhile we murmur whats
that you're givin' u.s. or words of a
like character. Age brings caution and
lot of shop-worn experience purchased
at the highest market price. Time
brings vain regrets and wisdom teeth
that can be left in glass of water over
night.

Sam Perkins, of Hearne, Texas, is
somewhat of philosopher, and is al
ways giving good advice to his friends.
He is somewhat cynical on the subject

l looked at her in astonlshment.
Merriment sparkled in her eyes.
"You don't like to kiss children, it
seems"
"Munette, you are strange. I once
said that 1 did not kiss you because
you looked like woman"

intensity of her love for me. "Why
