Editors OF The Beacon GENTLE
men Il read short time ago, an
editorial in your paper reminding the
people Of the county Of the import
anoe of selecting good and competent
mon to represent them in the next
Legislature, as it was likely important
matters for legislation would come
before it. / fully agree with you.
Now, in looking over the county, /
find 10 one more suitable or more
worthy the position Of State Senator
than Mr.. ]. EDWIN CoAD. Mr.. Coad
is not only gentleman Of culture, a
good classical scholar, well read
man--all Of which he might be, yet
unfit for State Senator--did he lack
practicability, business tact. a good
and sound Judgment, honor that can.
not be seduced, and proper interest
in the welfare Of his county. Happily
he possesses all Of these characteristics
in an eminent degree. In him, are
blended all the qualifications TO make
good senator. Therefore, there is
NO reason why the Democratic party
should not select him as its standard
bearer, but every reason why it should.
There may be others whose names
have been mentioned in connection
with the place. and perhaps. others Of
the county, whose names have not been
mentioned, equally as worthy. But
to the younger aspirants, would say,
defer your claims to some future time,
and ! think | voice the sentiments Of
the people. You probably have al
ready been honored by your county,
or you may have more time ahead Of
you. Mr.. Coad is man well adj
vanced in years. yet his mind sesms to
be in its fullvigor, consequently, his
time and opportunity, according TO
natural events, for serving his county
may be short. Besides, his native
county, so far 40 the writer Of this
knows, has never honored him in any
way. Il is true, he was once Flour
Inspector !" that however. came from
the State. And here | am reminded
of what, number Of years ago, I
heard a gentleman say ofhim: "There
was no man from st. Mary's county
who had stronger attachment for his
native county than Edwin Coad." "As
proof of il" said he. "he desired to
form society of the clerks and busi-
ness men in the city, who were natives
Of st. Mary's, in order that they might
meet annually in social reunion to
perpetuate the memory Of the old
County" As farther proof Of his
ardent love Of his native county, we
find him. after serving out the term
of his Office we'll and faithfully,
seeking again the place Of his birth
and the home of his ancestors; not
enriched by corruption in Office, but
poorer than when he left the county.
Now, fellow citizens, this soholor,
honest man, asks you TO let him
serve you as your next State Sem
ator. And be assured, with him
as your representative, your interest
viii be cared for, your honor main
tanned and your position upheld. In
conclusion, gentlemen, hoping the del
egates to the coming convention, be-
ing fully impressed with the RESPONSE
bility resting upon them, may be guild
ed by prudence and Judgment, in Sc
Letting fit men for the various Offices
TO be filed. is the prayer of q
VoTER.

Red VS.. White Hunters.
Correspondence Detroit Post.]

correspondence 1yetfC1G fOSt.J
A good white hunter nearly always
gets his game at whatever range he may
fire; whereas an Indian will seldom
shoot at an antelope, deer or buffalo
unless he can get within 100 yards of
his prey, when almost any rifeman,
whether white or red, good or bad,
would be pretty sure to bring it down.
There is great deal in understanding
the habits of the animal you are hunt
ing. An Indian in almost every case
will hunt his game as he understands
their peculiarities. Let him come in
sight of an antelope, although two, three
four or five miles away, and he will
spend the rest of the day in getting to
the windward of the beast. Then crawl
ing to within fifty yards of the game he
fires, when the animal generally falls.
On the other hand, white hunter will
blaze away at 800 or 400 yards, and she
chances are about even for hit or a
miss; but he will shoot at a dozen diff
ferent animals and perhaps get two or
three of them, while the red man is
fooling his time away on one. There Is
more fun IN the former method than in
the latter; but then the white man is
out after fun while the red man is there
strictly for business.

FROM tue PROVIDENCE
The Social Club of Taunton is an in
stitution of which very little is known
outside its own select circle. The week
~ meetings of the club are attended by
all with a great deal of interest. On
Friday night last the programme en-
braced the performance of Sardou's
"Scrap of Paper" and, like everything
else which is put upon the stage, the
play was splendidly mounted. The
homes of some of the members had been
levied upon to considerable extent for
bric-a- brac, and after the curtain arose
upon one of the scenes the attention of
the audience was as fully engaged in
enjoyment of the artistic elegance of
the mountings as upon the progress of
the play itself. One thing in particu-
lar which attracted attention was COM
plete suit of Japanese armor which
stood erect on one side of the stage.
As the play went on the audience no.
ticed that one of the hands of the Gig
ure" dropped to it's side, and in another
moment the other hand dropped; then
the head began to sway from one side
to the other, and the whole figure
showed signs of immediate dissolution,
and the audience began to think small
sized earthquake was at work on the
stage and braced themselvesfo for shock.
The next thing which struck their as
Uonished vision was hand thrust out
from the curtain, which grasped the
swaying figure, turned it quickly around,
and in moment figure and hand had
been swallowed up in the mysterious To-
calities of the green-room. The pent-
up feelings of the audience found vent
in laughter, long, loud, and hysterical,
and not for several moments was it pos
sible for the play to proceed. It ap-
peared that the armor had been received
too late for any frame to be prepared.
and young man who had not counted
the cost had volunteered to support it,
but after bearing up nobly for half an
hour he threw out a hint of coming
weakness by dropping his hands from
his breast to his side, and was just
about falling in fainting condition to
the floor when rescued by those friend,

Nothing New Under the Sun.
[From st. James Gazette.l


That there is nothing new under the
sun must have been the reflection OF
those who read the strange story OF rob
berry at Portsmouth, which is described
in the mornings papers. Some thou
sands of years ago King Rameses OF
Egypt-as described by Herodotus-
got q builder to build him secret treas
ure-house to which the king alone could
find an entrance; but the astute builder
left loose stone, and helped himself at
the treasure when he liked. About ten
years ago, it appears, gentleman NAM
ed Milligan, residing near Portsmouth,
being of primitive ideas, thought that a
Secret drawer" would be safer than a
bank, and instructed workman to
make him receptacle of this nature.
Into this drawer, when constructed. Mr..
Milligan poured some hundred sover-
eigns, and never afterward inspected
the store until last year. In the early
part of this year MIR. Mllligan put 200
more sovereigns into the drawer. The
builder of the drawer seems, however,
to have been struck with the same idea
as the Egyptian architect of the treas
ure-house, and went and helped him
self as he liked, and to such an extent
that he had during the year purchased
some houses in the neighborhood. I'm
fortunately the tales end differently ;
for, while the son of the Egyptian
builder eventually secured the princess
and half the kingdom, the English
builder has merely found his way into
the hands of the police.

bounced the youth unceremoniously ;
then looking at the vacant chair at the

very promising hand, and SO he sat
right down and finished it and raked in
the pot. This is virtue rewarded

What One Woman Did.
From the Youths Companion. ]

About three years ago a young
woman in one of our Eastern cities, un-
married, and with no close family ties,
looked about in the world for some
helpful work to do. Near her lived a
deaf-and-dumb child, little girl with
speaking, intelligent eyes.
Her parents were not able to send
her to the asylum. Her kind-hearted
neighbor became very much attached to
the child, studied the German method
of oral teaching for the dumb, and
brought little Mary every day to her
home to try to impart it to her.
The child placed her hand on her
teachers throat, and, bringing her face
close to hers, learned first TO inhale and
expel the air. Then each sound of
every letter and word was taught by
sight in the same manner.
The pupil followed the motion of the
speakers lips and replied in the same
mechanical way. One deaf and dumb
child after another joined little Mary at
her task until the school numbered
seventy eight pupils, with nine teachers
The infinite patience required in this
training is almost inconceivable. But
the progress is rapid.
Three years have passed since the
opening of the school, and the pupils
have acquired all that child could
learn in it's nursery and primary school
to speak, read, write and understand
the first four rules of arithmetic. The
school is free.
It's work, so far, has been to make OF
these creatures, who were little better
than animals, active, intelligent human
beings, and this work is due to one
earnest, kindly woman.

What is the popularity
"They are reversible. Both ends of
the heel are trimmed alike. The heel
is secured with screws, which can be re-

By turning the heel end for end after
it begins to wear off on one side, the
wear is thrown equally on both sides,
and the heel is kept square. Eventually
