Presidents Warnings.

1t has been asserted by some curious
observers that the inaugural ceremonies
of each of the four Presidents-Harri-
son, Taylor, Lincoln and Garfield
with whom death, an unseen and un-
bidden guest, entered the White House.
were marked by signs and omens, that,
interpreted by supernatural lore, fore
shadowed to the ignorant and super
stitious the funeral pageantry in which
they would ere long be central figures.
General Harrison arrived at Washing
ton in the midst of driving thunder
storm, and as he descended from his
carriage a flash of lightning blinded
him and caused him to miss step and
fall. The first night he slept at the
White House an owl, perched on the
roof over his bedroom, hooted contin-
uously, and he complained the next
morning that the owl and bowling
dog near had kept him awake.
When Mrs. Taylor was told of her
husbands election she burst into tears
and exclaimed: .'Oh! why can't they
let us alone? This is all scheme to
break up our home" When she en-
tered her bedroom at the White House
she started back, and. pointing to a dia-
mond-shaped ornament carved on the
mantel, said; "See! the first object to
greet me is a coffin. Death will rob ME
in this dreadful house of some one l
love-"
To Mr.. Lincoln there came an appari-
ton, thus described by him: "On the

news Of my election, worn out by ex-
citement and fatigue, threw myself on
a lounge in my bedroom to rest. just
opposite to me was a bureau with a
swinging glass, and, looking in it, I
noticed two separate and distinct
images of myself. A little bothered,

ing down, saw it again, but noticed
that one of the faces was paler than the
other, and had blood stain on it. :
When my wife came in 1 told her of the
vision, and she. who had great faith in
signs, and generally attached some
meaning to them, said, 1T means you
will be elected to a second term, but will
not live through it,
On their trip from Springfield to
Washington they passed by General
Harrison's burial place. and halted to
pay tribute of respect to his memory.
Turning from the grave a black-bird
made circle round his head. The
night of his assassination Mrs. Lincoln
told one of the watchers that on that
eventful trip through the bright, happy
Northern villages decked with flowers
in his honor, as well as on that myster-
ious night ride through Baltimore and
secret arrival in Washington, the toll
ing of a deathbell, clear and unmistak-
able, was sounding in her ear.
The dreams and forebodings of the
two Mrs. Garfields, mother and wife,
are too recent to be repeated. Were
they the idle faneies of nervous women?

Decreasing Snowfall ON the sierras.

The snowfall on the Sierras has been
very light the past Winter. At the
Summit and Cisco the greatest average
depth falling at one time this year has
not exceeded six feet. The average fall
in former Winters has been over twenty
feet. In the Winters of 1868, when
Cisco was the terminus of the Central
Pacific Railroad, the snow there fell to
a depth of over forty feet.
This was before the snow-sheds were
built-when the railroad company had
over 1000 men employed in shoveling
snow from the deep cuts between Blue
Canyon and Cisco. The passenger
trains at that time consisted of only
two coaches and one baggage car, and
were drawn tho last eight miles-from
Emigrant Gap to Cisco-by eighteen
ten-wheel OcOmotives-Over 800 tons of
metal-driving snow-plOw as large as
a two-story house in front of them. At
that time the line of tho road wound
through trackless forest, over forty
miles in length, stretching from Truckee
on the east to Alta on the west, trains
frequently being brought to standstil
by fallen trees obstructing the track.
OF the vast forests that then covered
the sides and crowned the submits of
the Sierras along the line of the road,
scarcely vestige now remains. Since
the building of the road swath over
twenty miles in breadth has been
moved through the ancient forests bor-
dering the track, whose dark recesses
obscured by thick foliage had never
been penetrated by the rays of the sun
before the advent of the iron horse.
The decrease in the snowfall is said to
date from that event, and is mainly at
tributed to the fact Of that portion Of
the country being entirely denuded of
timber. Virginia City Chronicle.

A GREAT VICTORY AND HOW 1T WAS
WON

The Republicans of Springfield have
gained a great and complete victory.
They have elected their entire city ticket
by over thousand majority and have
majority in both the City Council and the
Board Of Education. Such result is un-
precedented Our Republicans have been
in the habit Of dividing themselves up and
giving themselves away, in the spring cleo
.ions, for many years, but they have, hap
PLY for themselves and the welfare OF the
community, turned over new leaf and en-
tered upon new career To begin with,
the masses of the party came to the front
and took Q hand in the methods OF nomi-
mating candidates. They declared in
favor Of system of selecting their repre-
sentstiyes which would be free from the
influence of bosses and strikers and be-
yond the reach of corruption, and when
such system was adopted they attended
their ward meetings in force, choose the
best citizens in each precinct as delegates
to the city convention, and the convention,
in turn, materialized the best possible re-
suits in the ticket nominated. This ticket
was good throughout. Each candidate
was intelligent, honest, pure and capable,
and personally we'll fitted for the position
he was selected to fill. And each and all
were worthy citizens, who stood well In
the eyes and esteem OF their fellows, and
there was not suspicion of corruption in
connection with their nomination. They
had neither money nor Influence" but
were nominated on their personal merits!
And when this good ticket was brought
out, the battle was halt fought and half
won.
Then, the men composing the rank and
file of the party, who had secured this good
result, remained at the front and were at
the polls on election day, determined to
complete their work, handsomely and sub
stantially, and they did it.
The Whisky Democracy had banked on
the usual spring laziness and Indifference
of the Republicans, rather more heavily
than usual, and had ventured to bring out
very Objectionable candidates-one being
q saloonkeeper and the others his very
good friends and supportsrs-and the line
was therefore drawn taut between q good,
clean ticket, representing not only Repub-
licanism, but decency, good order, moral
ity, and the faithful enforcement Of the
laws, as well. and ticket designed to pro-
tect the disorderly elements in the COM
munity, and to shield certain class in
the laws. The thing was over
done. The Doodle chaps helped to defeat
themselves. Many decent Democrats
bolted and voAed the Republican ticket,
and, as the result of all these circum-
we have one Of the grandest and
most wholesome local Republican victor
les we have ever known, and every good
citizen is to be congratulated on the re-
'ult

Distress N CHICAGO.

To get rid of the distress caused
by such an intruder as rheumatism
is one of the puzzles of the present
age. Happily the new and popular
remedy-Athlophoros-has come to the
relief of this distress, and it finds its way in
to the homes of sufferers, not only through
tho drug stores, but at Sne hands of the
medical faculty.
A correspondent while passing through
Chicago, called on DIR. H. W. Joy, who is
well known as one of the county physicians
charged with the benefcent duty Of reliev-
ing the distress Of the poor. In addition
to this work DR.. Joy has an extensive
practice of his own. 1t had come to the
knowledge of our correspondent that DIR.
Joy was making Use Of Athlophoros, and
had met with success with it in treating
rheumatism and neuralgia.
Calling on DR.. Joy at his Office, corner of
State and Harrison streets, he found the
doctor very busy with procession of
patients who were seeking relief from
various ailments. Healso found the Doctor
quite willing to converse on the subject,
and to give Athlophoros full credit for
what it had done in conquering these
troublesome diseases.
Said Doctor joy: "Within the past
year have given Athlophoros very fair
trial among sufferers by rheumatism, some
of whom were old people and had been
troubled with the disease for long time.
have also used it in Gases that were not
of such long standing. My experience
has been that it is uniformly successful,
and that it surpasses all medicines have
ever seen for expelling rheumatism from
the system. Ny first acquaintance with it

does, but it carries away the cause Of the
pain, which is far better. l cannot see
that it leaves any mlschievous effects, as
