secretary's Report.

The wear 1884 in our work has been very
busv one. Notwithstanding that we mad
come to the close of the previous year with
feeling of devout thanhulness in the posses
sion of our new building, we fully realized
that efforts for it could not cease, as there
was much to he done that II
might be made comfortable and homeiike'
AT the beginning Of the year, with the excep-
ton of a small part of the house, rooms were
without heat and unfinished, our cellar was
unfinished: and outside the yard was IN
garded ami fenceless. In the past le"
months all this has been changed. BY the
kindness Of friends and churches, nearly
every room in the house has been maue az,
tractive by nice carpets. mats, curtains and
good substantial furniture. A second fur
mace has been putin. the cellar has been
Dartitioned and cemented, the yard has been
graded and a fence has made 1t possible 10
have a good garden, which, during the sum
mer. supplied nearly all the vegetables needed
by the family.

LIFE IN THE NORTHWE>T.

"Coldm said Canadian from Winnipeg
during the cold snapa few days ago. "Cold !!
why, surely you don't call this cold. Up
in my country it is occasionally so cold
at this season of the year that the cows
give ice cream when they are milked.
| tell you that there can be no tritling
with the cold up there. Look at the way
we dress. In winter we all wear turs.
The policemen at Winnipeg have buffalo
coats down to their heels, and every man,
rich or poor, in the northwest must wear q
fur cap. | have known the cold to pene-
trate the skull of man who went out one
day with an ordinary felt hat, and brain
fever carried him off in three days. The
streets of Winnipeg just now are full of men
who move about like animals in managerie
cages. You see nothing but beaver, and
otter, and Persian lamb, and seal, and
mink, and raccoon, and marten, and musk
rat, and all the furs that ever adorned the
GOths or Ostro-GOths, who first brought
the choice furs Of the north to southern
and central Europe. And the sleighs are
covered with black and brown bear and
grizzly skins and buffalo robes, while an
occasional Astrakhan gives evidence of lux
ury in costly furs. Without furs we could
not live in winter up in that country. We
not only use them as articles of luxury, as
the Chinese use the ermne, sable or the
fiery fox, but we are obliged to use them as
an article of necessity. And every species
of skin is utilized. The hardy vOyageurs
and coureurs du bois dress themselves in
buckskin with headdress of wolf, lynx,
badger, or wildcat hides, while silver and
blue fox furs may be seen on the heads of
the rich.
"As for the cold," he continued, sit is Sc
we're, but we do not feel it as much as you
might fancy. Weare dressed for it, and our
houses are built to resist it. All our houses
have double doors and double windows.
Fires are, of course, kept going night and
day. We are not much out Of doors in Win
ter, and yet nearly everybody gets frostbitten
at times. When we see man on the street
with white spot on his cheek or nose we
stop and point to the Stflicted part. He
will understand ut once. If the weather is
very cold we can't speak to each other very
well, for our mustaches freeze to our boards
and form a crust Of ice over our mouths.
We must thaw this off before we can talk.

THE COMING PRESIDENT.
The President-elect is fortunate in having
a Private Secretary of exceptional ability,
prudence and sagacity. Two men more
unlike than they are in physical character
istics, could scarcely be found. Cleveland
is large and portly; Lamont only five and
half feet high and spare. They are often
seen walking together, arm in arm, at AL
bany, and their intimacy is to be contin-
ued after the Governor shall have become
President Cleveland.
Daniel S. Lamont is the grandson of a
worthy couple who came to this country
from Scotland, and some of his peculiari-
ties, particularly his caution and reticence,
are decidedly those Of natives of the Gland
of bannOcks." He was born in Cortland
county, New York, February 8, 1851, the
only child of a country merchant. Lamont
graduation he assisted his father in the
store, but disliked the employment and
soon was busiy at work as politician, al
though still under age.
His first office was as Deputy Clerk in
New York. Next he was Clerk in the
New York Assembly, in 1870, 1871 and
1873. In 1S7G-77 he acted as Chief Clerk in
the New York State Department, under
John Bigelow. Mr.. Tilden recognized his
abilities at the time he was Governor of
New York, and engaged them during the
period Of his candidature for the Presiden-
cy. From 1875 to 1888, Mr.. Lamont was
Secretary of the Democratic State Commit
tee of New York. On January l, 1888, he
was appointed to his present position-Pri-
vate and Military Secretary of Governor
Cleveland with the title of Colonel and
salary Of four thousand dollars year. His
salary as Private Secretary of President
Cleveland will be $3.50 year.
Mr.. Lamont is an indefatigable worker
frequently not reaching his home from Off
cal business, until midnight. He is a mar
ried man and the father Of two children.

left, where the firing is heaviest and then
gave him an order which O'Hara rode off
to obey. Governor Harris returned, and,
finding him very pale, asked, him General,
are you wounded?' He answered him in
very deliberate and emphatic tone: Yes,
ard l fear, Seriously These were his last
words. Harris and Wickham led his horse
back under cover of the hill, and lifted him
from it. They searched at random for the
wound, which had cut an artery in his leg,
the blood flowing into his boot. When his
brother-in-law, Preston, lifted his head and
addressed him with passionate grief, he
smiled family, but uttered no word. His
life rapidly ebbed away, and in few mo-
ments he was dead.
"HiS wound was not necessarily fatal.
General JOhnsOn's own knOWlege of militia
ry surgery was adeqate for its control by an
eXtemporiZed tourniquet, had he been
aware or regardful of its nature. DIR. d.
w. Yandell, his surgeon, had attended his
person during most of the morning; but
finding large number Of wounded men,
including many Federais, at one poini, Cen
eral Johnson ordered Yandell to stop there,
establish hospital and give them his SER
vices. He said to Yandell: These men
were our enemies moment ago; they are
prisoners now. Take care of Them Yam
dell demonstrated against leaving him, but
he was peremptory. Had Yandell remain
ed with him he would have had little diff
Guilty with the wound"
THE LAST CHARGE AT SHILOH.
From General Grants account of the bat
tie of Shiloh, we quote the following: "This
day everything was favorable to the Fed
eral side. We now had become the attack
ing party. The enemy was driven back all
day, as we had been the day before, until
finally he beat a precipitate retreat. The
last point held by him was near the road
from the landing to Corrinth, on the left of
Sherman and ght of McClernand. About
3 o'clock, being near that point, and seeing
that the enemy was giving way every
where else, l gathered up couple of regi-
ments, or parts of regiments, from troops
near by, formed them in line of battle and
marched them forward, going in front my
self to prevent premature or long-range
firing. At this point there was clearing
between us and the enemy favorable for
charging, although exposed. l knew the
enemy were ready to break, and only want
ed little encouragement from US to 60
quickly and join their friends who had
started earlier After marching to within
musket-range, stopped and let the troops
pass. The command charge, was given,
andwas executed with loud cheers, and with
a run, when the last of the enelnv broke"

THIRTY YEARS ON one MEAL \ DAY.
David Allen, Of East Bridgewater, Mass,
has gained good deal of notoriety on lc-
count of eating only one meal day. Mr..
Allen is farmer ffty-four years of age,
rather below the average height, strong
and healthy in appearance. He said that
some thirty years ago, knowing that fire.
quent eating was injurious, he began to eat
only one meal a day, taking an ordinary

ly, usually occupying from half to three
quarters of an hour at the table. He does
as much work as the average man. Mr..
Allen never used tobacco in any form, and
has never drank Intoxicating liquors. The
only indulgence which he grants himself,
aside from the noon meal, is an occasional
apple or some little fruit

As everybody knows, President Arthur
is a widower, but as official receptions could
not be complete without the charm of
hostess, and his daughter is too young to
undertake the responsibilities of the posi-
ton, Mrs. McElroy, sister Of the Chief
Magistrate of the United States, graciously
undertakes them, and with the success
which makes her social administration 4
notable one in the line Of triumphs which
the ladies of the White House have realized.
Mrs. Mary McElroy is the Presidents
youngest sister. She is one of the six boys
and girls constituting the Arthur family, of
which, being the youngest, she was the
darling. Her illustrious brother regards
ness between the brother and sister is re-
markable, but she is below the medium
stature Her eyes and hair are dark. The
lady is exceedingly affable and pleasing.
Mrs. McElroy's home is in Albany, New
York, of which city her husband has been
an hOnOred resident many years. He is a
man of considerable wealth, made in the in
surance business. The couple have four
children, the fair sex represented by Misses
May and Jessie, and the stern ditto by
young man now in college, and a lad of
about ten. May stays at home in Albany
in charge of her fater's domestic establish
with her cousin, Nellie Arthur.
Social life in Washington, Presidential
receptions and dinners particularly, will
miss sweet little Mrs. McElroy, when her
brothers. removal from the White House
shall renew her exclusive attention to the
care of her home in Albany.
MAINE ICE.-The ice industry of this part
of Maine has grown to be a very important
one. Employmentis furnished to thousands
of men and horses. The men get from $l.25
to $3.50 for the short days of winter. A
man with a single horse gets $3.50 and S2.75,
and a man with two horses, $3.50 and 1915.
Besides, a vast amount of hay and grain is
required to feed these horses; which makes
q good fodder market for the farmers of that
section. So important has this ice business
become that new railroad station on the
Maine Central has been established between
Gardiner and Richmond. One hears the
brakeman call out, "Iceboro! Iceboro!" A
great many passengers get off there and
quite a little town is forming, with a good
many ice houses, at least. The fame and
facilities Of the Kennebec ice have drawn
in vast amount of outside capital. The
ice is Of the best quality, and the facilities
for shipping by schOoncrs, which ply up the
river in summer, are unsurpassed. There
are numerous Southern ice companies here,
and the consumer in the Southern city is
furnished his ice for ,juss what it costs, with
out the intervention of any middle man
for the same company leaves it at his house
as cut in the kcnnebec.

A DENIAL FROM BEAT 2.

THREE RIVERS, Miss, July II, 1884.
Editor Denaoerat-Star
In your last issue, Mr.. f. NJ
Johnson, of Beat No. 2, is quoted
rs having said that he knew only
one man ia his Beat who favored
the reelection of Gov. Lowry, and
that that nan had not always been
true TO Democracy.
Now, Mr.. Editor, l am not like
the fellow who said he saw a thou
sand cOOns up a tree, aud when
those who were present expressed
some doubt as to the correctness OF
his assertion began to fall on the
number, and finally declared that
there must have been one coon up
the tree, hecause he saw q limb
shake. / will not say there are a
thousand Lowry men in the Beat,
as / do not occupy a political posi-
ton, nor do l claim 20 be posted,
but / do say, and say it without
tear of contradiction that there are
more men than one in the Beat
who favor Gov. Bowry's reelection,
and I think that il Mr.. j. will heed
your advice to the delegates OF the
other Beats 10 the county, canvass
his Beat and post himself, ba will
ind that a mallory of the voters OF
the Beat are Lowry men.
