Dcmocracx.s Candidate.

Mark i. Smith, the Democratic
 nominee for Delegate to Congress arrived in Clifton Thursday even ing unexpected and unheralded. A telegram from Lordsburg, to the CLARION, received short time before his advent, announced his coming, consequently he was re- ceived at the depot by a goodly number of friends, the larger DOT ton of whom had never met the
 Democratic standard bearer, al
 though his name and fame had
 proceeded him. Since he was in
 strumental in the hanging of sev- eral of our citizens in the dark days of rustling ravages. Mir.
 Smith at once registered at the
 United States Hotel, under the care and caution of Sheriff Craw- ford who watched him as scruti- Dously as if he had been a pack age of much value sent c. O. D. The gentleman showed his good sense and sound judgmentin in seek ing quarters and finding a roost- ing place at so early an hour, for it is recorded that the tune has been when, in Clifton, the scriptur- al injunction was strictly followed "when you meet stranger take him in" The precautionary steps taken by Mir. Smith, to provide for unseen contingencies is evidence of his eminent fitness for any posi- ton of responsibility and trust. He had been in Clifton only few hours before before he had taken by the hand nearly every man, woman and child and was as much at home as an old timer. Friday morning, accompanied by Judge Goodwin, he visited the mines of the Arizona Copper Company where he was received with con sideration and kindness. In the evening, on his return from the mountains, Mir. Smith learned that he was expected to address the people and that arrangements had been made for an open air meet ing on Main street in front of John Hovey's place of business where platform had been erected solid, substantial and stable, made attractive by magnificent display of national colors, at eight o'clock he was introduce by Judge F. L. B. Goodwin to a large and appre ciative audience whom he address ed in words of fervent eloquence. He made a very decided impres sIon on his hearers who heard him with marked attention, for every word he uttered bore the impress of truth. At the conclusion of hls remarks F. l.. B. Goodwin was called for and made some remarks more humorous than otherwise. The impression made by Mir. Smith on this community was most favorable. He is genial, warm hearted, generous and agreeable. His candidature is approved, his friends who are now many will be multitudinous before the ides of November. He hopes to meet the people of this camp again be- fore election If his engagements will permit. Mir. Smith left on morning, via Sheldon, for Solomonville and will attend the Democratic county convention and will favor that body with an address.

A Sane Man in a Mad-House.

Proceedings have been begun In Philadelphia
TO secure the discharge from the Pennsylvania
Hospital for the insane OF Clifford j. Maxwell,
who has been confined as a lunatc for three
and a half years. When the proceedings were
begun Maxwell was temporarily released from
the asylum, and he has gone 10 Atlantic City
TO await summons to the trial of the easel
The Ph lddelphd Record says that Maxwell Is
about 30 years Of age a Philadelphia by birth,
and a son Of Rev. Go don Maxwell, who was
for many wears pastor OF the Emanuel Protes-
tant Episcopal church in Kensington. He in
herited a fortune OF over $50 600 from his
grandfather who was one OF the foremost of
Philadelphia merchants at time when the
port almost monopolized the merchant trade
OF the Atlantic coast. He received his educa-
ton at West Point, but q military life had no
charm for him, and after spending some time
in seeing the world he married young lady
who was a teacher In the boarding school of
her aunt, Mrs. Carey, Mt the corner OF Six
teenth and Spruce streets. This was about
eight years ago. For several years after the
marriage the couple lived happily together and
had born to them little girl, who soon be-
came her fathers especial favorte and pride.
When the child died the father was Frustrated
to an extent which gave his friends the keen
est anxiety about his health.
Shortly aft, rward Mrs. Maxwell took q step
which astounded those who had observed the
apparently happy life Of herself and her hus-
band. She called in two physicians. and af-
ter making an examination they signed GER
tihcate Of the insanity OF Clifford Maxwell.
Upon this he was committed TO Kirk
bridges" lie protested against the commit
ment, but not having fully recovered from the
shock Of his daughters death, his protests
were feeble and easily overrden. Arrived at
the institution he soon made IL evident to the
attending physician that he was certainly not
a dangerous lunatic, although his wife had
justified her course by declaring that she was
afraid 10 live with him" 1t is said that at
one me he did have Temporary alterations,
IN which he had the DEUS. on Of being haunt
ed or pursued by something more tangible
than misfortune. His friends recently became
convinced that he was perfectly sane, and that
his imprisonment was unjustifable. They
therefore secured the services Of LAWYER, and
the hospital authorities declared that they had
no objection to let Mr.. Maxwell leave when
ever his wife gave the word. In order to have
the matter jud clally determined q writ Of
habeas corpus was taken out The case was
postponed for two weeks Mr.. Maxwell Is In
the enjoyment OF large income from q trust

A Very Moral Man.

There is Mr.. b. He is one of our
best moral men. and he occupies po-
stion of high social distinct in in our
midst. He also has an office of honor
and trust At home it were simply alb
surd to question Mr.. BIS morality. He
T. most exemplary man indeed Moth
ers point him out to maynard sons as u
fac siDiiie of the perfect man. He
avoids saloons and billiard halls as he
would the yellow fever; and, in fact,
shuns everything in the line of vices.
He attends all the temperance meet
ings, aud even teaches class of boys
at Sabbath school.
Mr.. Is. goes off to the city for some
recreation. There he loosens the lines
of moral restraint SO rigidly kept
Strengthened at home. How quickly
they assume decidedly zigzag turn. He
"larks" to his hearts content while
taking in the city," When he returns
to his home, everybody welcomes the
very moral man who is almost as good
as Deacon Allen himself. Perhaps he is
met at the depot, and a general "fuss"
is made over him. This very moral
man is re-installed into his old Office Of
honor and trust, VIII le his influential
official friends feign Rip Van Wrinkle
inconsistencies of his ''spree" in New
York, or that scrape with woman
in the case" when he went to New Or
leaus. None care that he made glar.
ingly ugly angle in his path of recti-
tude, and that man really worthy OF
support, one mentally, morally, and
physically equipped to withstand the
Establishments to be encountered in cities
and all their allurements, stands un-
recognized. Mr.. b. resumes his du.
ties, secretly chuckling over his clev-
erness at pulling the WOOL over his
neighbors' eyes. And thus he goes on
the moral tenor of his way.
He is certaiplya remarkable individ-
ual. See what a genius he displays
for falling from the acute to the straight
angle of morality!
Mr.. b. would undoubtedly be found
out in time. were 1t not for the fact
that so many of his const tuents recog-
nize in his zigzag morality, PARALLEL

Lemons and Health.

A good deal has been said through
the papers about the healthfulness of
lemons. The latest advice is how to
use them SO that they will do the most
good. and is as follows: Most people
know the benefit of lemonade before
breakfast, but few know that it is more
than doubled by taking another at night
also. The way to get the better Of the
bilious system without blue pills or
quinine is to take the juice of one, two
or three lemons, as appetite Graves, in
as much ice water as makes it pleasant
to drink without sugar before going to
bed. In tho morning, before rising, at
least half an hour upon breakfast, take
the juice of one lemon in goblet Of
water. This will clear the system Of
humor and bile with efficiency without
any of the weakening effects of calo-
mel or congress water. People should
not irritate the stomach by eating
lemons clear. Form and Fireside. q

promised the consulship at Paris by Mr. Lin
coin. But as soon as we realized how serious
was the state OF political affairs Davis second
ed by Lincoln himself persuaded me to re-
main near the president to protect him against
danger. i was consequently made marshal OF

connection with the two men / never knew
them to have n quarrel, The only point on
which ever knew them To differ was over
Lincoln's large-hearted-but, IN Davis opin-
ion, sometimes misguded-toleration and
charity.
remember one occasion on which Davis
brought this out in an amusing manner.
Lincoln had appointed TO an Office q man
who was his political enemy, aud who had
done him positive injury To Davis re-
monstauce, Lincoln, with his never-failing
e-heartedness, responded:
"Yes, know he Is my enemy, but you know
i never can think OF these things"
'I.incoln," said Davis, "you never will be
worth damn until you learn to hate"
Davis himself was far from being q malig-
nant man, but he was like other men. / re-
member at another time, when Davis was
again making the same complaint, Lincoln
said:
"Dav.s, had to appoint that man He
was a personal enemy OF mine"

Lincoln to the supreme court Of the United

delivered the opinion. Ii was the famous case
OF Millgan Bowlcs and Horsey, who were
charged with conspiracy In Indiana against

1t being time when the habeas corpus had
been suspended, Gen Burnside was on the
point OF court-martialing the accused. But by
the efforts of Judge Mcdonald habeas corpus
was secured. Judge Black David Dudley

defense. just before the trial Judge Black
came to me and asked II was anxious to try
the case.

of II.
"Well,n said Judge Black, ''what do you

as q literary man and scholar will help u.s."
"Yes," ! said, The is just the man we want

'Oh, WE'LL" said Mr.. Black, 'T'll admit him,

A Ten-Year-Oid Heroine.

Three months ago, writes a Cam
bridge, Mass, correspondent of The
NeD York Herald, Mrs. Edward Barry.
wife of day laborer on the Fitchburg
railroad, living in the Belmont district,
died from hard work and exposure,
leaving five children to the care of her
kind-hearted though rather dissipated
husband. The eldest child. Nellie, 10
years of age, has acted as housekeeper
since the death of her mother, and has
managed to clothe the backs and supply
the mouths of her four younger broth
ers from the $3.50 day wages of their
father. Last night it was very hot in
their cottage, and Nellie. after putting
the little folks to bed, and singing and
tanning them to sleep. put her fathers
supper on the back of the stove, and
sat down to wait for his return. He
was late. The little clock on the mantel
licked off the hours and brought 9
o'clock, but no father Then Nellie re-
membered that he had been drinking
since the Fourth and went out to seek
him. Failing TO find him she returned,
tired and worried with her heavy cares.
She went to the little heated chamber to
look ut her sleeping brothers, and then
resumed her place in the char, deter
mined to stay awake until her father
came, but the heat, combined with her
hard work, was too much for the child,
and she was soon sleeping with her
head upon her arm.

the sound of falling timbers. and
springing to her feet she saw the whole
end OF the house on fire, while clouds
of smoke filled every room. What she
did first she can not tell. All she knows
is that when her first neighbor arrived
he met her coming out of the burning
house with the last of her little brothers
in her arms. The other three were
lying on the grass in front of the house
in their night-clothes. Her eldest
brother, Jimmy, says she came up
stairs and taking them one by one. car
ried them out in safety. Her face is
burned, and her hair is scorched, but
otherwise she is unhurt. The three
smaller oncs-aged 2, and years
were not awakened until the arrival Of
their tipsy father, who reached home
with the fire company. The premises
caught in an adjoining barn, probably
from an engine spark, and spread to
the house. The little heroine and her
brothers were taken to the house of an
aunt in the Dublin district, and to-day
she has been receiving so many con-
gratulations that her little head is
nearly turned. Several wealthy people
who heard of her deed have made ar
rangements to give her an education,
thinking so brave girl should have an
opportunity to elevate herself.
