not debarred from watching the kettle
boil and seeing the dumplings grow.
Hughey Campbell, is out with another

appears: "All returns, whether made
by the county boards or by the county
officers who canvass the votes, must be

executive committee, at Yankton, u. r.,
by mail" President of the state ex.
ecutive committee"-that's Hughey.
Hughey, once upon a time officiated
with "a returning board where his work
counted. He demonstrated rare ability,
and it is eminently proper that he
should manipulate the returns in the
present instance, although his labors
will be of less avail .--Times.

A New York despatch Of October nth
says: The Plymouth Church was
thronged to-day by an unusually at
~tentive audience, who believed the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher would make some
reference to the death Of Cardinal Nc
Closky. Mr.. Beecher spoke on the res
direction and tine translation of the
spiritual in man to heaven. In con-
~clusion he said That dear old man
that has gone up from among those who
loved him leaves behind his cardinal
throne the purple of his robes, and his
tiara, 1t was well enough that he
should have them, as the symbols of his
authority, but the moment that he

with those he loved, and with those he
had consigned to destruction, for they
will be there too. l rejoice in his trans |
