Relieved Peace

Now that the spring election is thing
of the past. and the chickering's and disa>
greeme1ts of politicsl campaign have
ceased, peaceful air envelopes our city.
The erstwhile troubled pool of local pol
itics is Gained; the voice of the wrangler
no more heard, but in the place thereof
the mild accents of fraternal affections
soothe the ear, and sweet and holy peace
broodeth over us all. Instead of the un-
steady tread of the willy politicians, the So
Der and slow step of the policemen breaks
the solemn stiffness of the midnight hour.
The housewife sees her liege lord come
home several hours earlier than has been
his wont, and he ariseth in the morning with
a clear conscience, and complainant not
that his hat don't fit him. The heated
controversies and angry words of politi>
cal adversaries have changed TO smiles
and happy greetings, and, on the whole
now is realized tile dream of the poet,
when
Lambs with wolves shall Craze the verdant
mead,
And boys in flowery banks the tiger lead;
The steer and hon at one crib shall meet,
Aud harmless serpents lick the pilgrims feet.
The smiling infant in his hand shall take
The crested basilisk and speckled snake,
Pleas d the green lustre Of the scales survey
| And with their forked tongues innocently play
| Peace Ter the world her olive wand extend,
And white-robed harmony from heaven de
| seend "

A Western Idvl,

A rather sad affair took place on Main
street the other day, says the Canyon City
Mercury. A young lady with her arms
full of bundles emerged from dry goods
store when one of them fell on the side
walk without her noticing it. Just be-
hind her was a young mana Too-Too
Club young man-who, ii not polite is
not anything-and he quickly stepped
forward to pick 1t up. Now, a bundle
done up in piece of paper with dry
goods advertisement on it, is apparently
as harmless as amaiden's prayer or a
mothers spanking, and there it lay as
guileless as bulldog asleep in the sun.
Just as he stopped to pick it up, there
was rustling of the paper, the twist be-
gan to come out of the ends and in an
other instant an indescribable some
thing-a sort of cross between balloon
and devil fish-few into the air before
his eyes and number ten thirty>six- inch
double jointed- duplex-elliptic-ste bowed
hustle inflator dollar and half bald
headed hoop>skirt with two rooms in it
waltzed around, and gyrated, and opened
and shut up, and fell on the sidewalk as
flat and thin as boarding house pie, and
the young man Strengthened himself up,
looking as if he wished forty ton zephyr
would come down from the Canyon and
sweep him over into the next county, and
the young lady came back with a face
that resembled an italian sunset produced
by throwing a ripe tomato against a
board fence, and she picked up that wire
continuance, and then she went toward
the west. The sun ducked his head be>
hind cloud to hide smile. and three OF
four of the boys who took in the show,
laid down and laughed, and doubled them
selves up in a manner that would have
made simmer dose of green apple collie
hide itself in shame.

Away Off.

The Union tries to make it appear that
the bridge railway folks tried to manipu>
late both the democratic and republican
primaries, and also the conventions, in
their behalf. 1t says "lhe republicans de,
feated their plans by noni-
mating Thos. Murdoch, instead of
the candidate they sprung at the last mo
ment, who was known to be friendly to
their scheme" The person referred TO is
Dr. Calvin Truesdale, whose name was
mentioned only on the day of the conven.
ton, but so popular was his candidacy
he came near capturing the nomination,
notwithstanding the Murdoch men had
worked vigorously for weeks previously to
secure their man. Had DR.. Truesdale' s
friends pushed his candidacy in time to
have let it been fully known that he was
in the field, he could have secured the
nomination without trouble He was not
an aspirant for the office, however, aud is
no doubt thankful that the honor fell on
other shoulders. If the bridge railway
folks had been as particular as was Capt.
Robinson as to how the different candi-
dates stood on the bridge railway guess
ton, that would have been the main is
sue of the campaign. But they were not,
and voted their tickets without reference
to that question. Therefore we assert
that the bridge railway was not the issue
in the last campaign, unless it be from a
Robinson standpoint.

Trinity Guilds Soclable.

At the pleasant residence of Mrs. T. J.
Buford last evening occurred the first
pink sociable given under the auspices of
the Trinity Guild, an organization com
posed of the young ladies of the Trinity
church. The young ladies had been pre-
pared for the event for some time, and as
is the case with all their entertainments,
the one given last evening was complete
success. OF course pink was the prevail.
ing color. The delightful shade was nos
ticeable in the cute caps worn by the la
dies, the floral decoration, fans, ribbons,
cake, ice cream and other dainties The
company present gazed with admiration
on the enchanting scene, which was fairy
like in aspect. The fancy table was the
cynosure of all eyes, and the work there
displayed showed an ingenuity and ar
tistic taste rarely excelled in the fancy
line. The many articles found ready pur-
chasers, being disposed of at much less
tn an their real value
Miss Lima Buford gave recitation in 6
charming manner, and Mrs. Miltor
Jones and Miss Bostock favored the com
pany with musical selections Dancing
was pleasing feature of the evenings
amusement, which came to an end abou
midnight. The young ladies of the GUILD
are to be heartily congratulated on thu
success of their pink sociable, which
socially at least, could not hardly be ex-
opllpd

Flying Switches.

1t is rumored that the Milwaukee, g. St.
Paul is considering the practicability of
changing the fast limited mail train from
Chicago to st. Paul and run it over the
Iowa and Minnesota division via Lanark
Junction, Savanna, Sabula, Dubuque and
Austin. 1t is claimed that the longer dis
lance can be more than made up by the
absence of sharp curves and multitude
of trains occupying the road. The Iowa
and Minnesota division is steel tracked, of
easy grade, and has comparatively few
curves. A fast mail from st. Louis is in
volved in the scheme. Should this scheme
be carried out it would make things more
lively on the west end of the Racine &
Southwestern division.
A new experiment in the way of freight
engines is being made on the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific. 1t is called the
traction engine" On recent trip from
Minneapolis it pulled twentyone cars
loaded with flour, arriving here in less
than two days. Its average time to Cedar
Rapids was eighteen to twenty miles pei
hour. At Davenport nine more cars load
ed with -four were added, making thirty
loaded cars altogether, and it hauled then
as easily as a mogul does an ordinary
train. The,traction engine looks like &
passenger engine forward of the tender
but it has six drivers--three on a side
and one set in back of the cab. Now, the
tender is so arranged that the engineer
by moving lever, raises the tank ant
coal box of the tender by steam power
moves it forward so that the whole weigh
of coal and water is placed on the real
drivers, creating the desired traction, by
which it gains immense power, with the
use of no more fuel than the ordinary
locomotive. At least great power ant
economy of fuel is what is claimed
for the traction englne-but loco'
motive engineers do not endorse
the claim A veteran engineer said of it
Your traction machine is all very nice
but look at the steam she carries. The
allow her $50, and the maximum of ou
steam is $50, while the average is 10 tc
100. Let me run my old $50 with $50 a
the maximum and I'll show EN- how t
haul big trains. Keep your traction en-
CINE down to 100 and see how far shell
haul train of thirty loads at the rate o
twenty miles an hour!'
