MASON, IbNN., september =.
To the Editors of the Appeal:
The Democracy of Upton county
would welcome the candidacy of Gen.
John ]. Dupuy for Congress. The
idea that prevails that Upton has
elected Phelan delegation must ex-
plode in the face If the facts. When
our county convention was held
and tho Congressional delegates
elected motion was made to instruct
for Mr.. Phelan as against Mr.. Harris,
then candidate, the gentleman max
ing the motion, DR.. Ball, stating that
be felt sure that the Democracy OF the
county favored neither, but Of the two
would take Mr.. Phelan, embodyiug in
his motion a ause that the proposed
instructions were binding only a.
against M. ii iris. Ths mo'ion was
lost. Sincs then have heard
the matter freely discussed
by ell classes, some favoring
Mr.. Phelan and some opposed
10 him. but even while artial to him
rs against any PRONOUNCED candidate,
almost to man Gen. Dupuy was the
choice. The people of this coudtv
know Gan Dupuy, and bs'ieve l
voice the sentiments OF large ma ar
ity OF the ID m)cra when say he il
their fret choice. We believe that he
can defeat Zach Tsylor in this county
and the di -trict, and that he is the
only man that can do it. His candi-
dacy would crsats much enthu'iasm

WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF.

Flying is suggested by the rhythmic
mOVemdnts of respiration.
An involuntary extension of the foot
is fall from the dizzy height of tower.
A slight intercostal pain becomes the
point of an enemy's dagger or the bite of
an snraged dog.
The sleeper sometimes dreams of his
appearing on the street or in society only
bal: dressed; the innocent cause is found
i'll some of the bedclOthes having fallen
off,
Parents and friends cut off in the
flower of life ordinarily appear in dreams
because of the profound impression
which their death or burial has made,
hence the general opinion that the dead
continue during the night their inter
course with the living.
An inconvenient position of the sleep
er, slight hinderance to respiration, or
interference with the action of the heart
may be the cause of dreams where one
seeks an object without being able to
find 1t or has forgotten something in
starting on journey.

He Neyer'll Pay That Tax.
Detroit Fraa Press

The Brunswick hotel is no more the
water Office than the high school building
is the city hall, but the are people who
are determined not to understand this.
An average of half a dozen a day walk
into the office of the hotel, plank their
money down onto the counter. and call
out:
Il want to pay the water tax on No. 254
Blank street."
When the affable clerks inform them
that they have made a mistake, which is
only what an affable clerk should do, there
is feeling on the part of these people
that they have somehow been abused, and
they go off mad.
Two weeks ago very stern-faced man
carrying himself very rigidly, entered the
hotel, raped on the counter, and OBJ
served:
iii never pay it!'
"What?" asked Clerk Brown.
'That internal water tax. You can sue
and be hanged!"
"This is not the water Office"
at isn't?"
mo, sir; you will have to go down four
DOORS"
''But if this is not the water Office
what do you have that sign up there
fOr?"
eve have nc such sign"
swell. it looks like the place"
'Not at all, sir. Please call four doors
below"
"Ill be burned if I do! Why didn't you
tell me when I first came that this was a
hOteI?"
Il supposed you knew it."
on, wen, perhaps you will make some
thing by this, and perhaps you won't, my
friend"
ga week later the stern-faced man en-
tered the water office one morning, reach
ed his hand through the window to one of
the clerks, and said
Shake, old boy, [ was out of temper
that morning, and have been very sorry
for it. Odd, wasn't it, that I came into
this hotel instead of the water office. You
treated me like a gentleman, and [ beg
your PARDON
I'll don't understand" replied the
clerk.
"Why, came into this hotel one morn
ing not long ago, and"
But this is no hotel. This is the water
Office"
But why don't you put up a sign?"
''There's one at the door, sir.''
"And where's the hotel?"
please call four doors above"
II won't do it! No, sir-never. See
you hung first. Good morning, sir-nev-
er'lI pay that internal water tax if I die
for it!'

Cost of the White House.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Most people believe that the $4,000 a
year which the President gets as his salary
is the sum total. This is a mistake The
estimate of the amount which Congress is
to appropriate this year lies before US
open at the page relating to the President
We see that S36,084 is asked far him, in
addition to his salary of $4,000, to pay
the salaries of his subordinates AMI clerks
His private secretary is paid S3,25O, his
assistant private secretary $2,25O, his
stenographer $1,000, five messengers
each $1,000, steward, $1,000, two door
keepers who each get $1,000, four other
clerks at good salaries, one telegraph
operator, two ushers getting $1,000 and
$1,4OO, a night usher getting $1,000, a
Waterman who gets 5000, and a man to
take care of fires who receives 1864, a
year. In addition to this there is set
down $4,000 for Incidental expenses, such
as stationery, carpets and the care
of the Presidents stables. And further
on, under another heading, there is de-
mand for nearly $4,000 more. Of this
$12,50O is for repairs and furnishing the
White House, $4,000 for fuel, $4,000 is for
the green house, and $4,000 is for gas
matches and the stables. The White
House, all told, costs the country, in con-
nection with the President, considerable
over $125,00O year.

BackwoodS Visiting Day"
Youths Companion.

A teacher IN backwoods region thus
describes the arrival of visitors one Sun
day at his boarding house.
They came about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing in large wagon, father, mother and
eight children, all seated on straight-back
ed wooden chairs painted green, with
sheepskin or rope seats.
The wagon was a rickety, implanted
vehicle, and the horses were real "bags-of-
bones"
well, good land o massey! Is this
yeow!" cried my landlady, rushing out to
meet the visitors.
Looks like US, don't it?" gurgIed the
mother of the visitors. 'Taint our speer-
it's"
How do yeow do? Get out, and come
in. "All well?"
"Wen as common; how are all your
folks?"
"Oh, SOS to be round, but pap amt

yourselves right to home. l must fly

Dan Sickles Surprises the Dog.
Albany Journal.

General Daniel L. Sickles, who for some
reason or other, prefers crutches and an
empty trousers leg, was an object of
regard during the pageantry. ooh, Dams
hero, [ guess" said an old campaigner,
"and | fit into his division, but Just the
same I've got somethin' ag'in him. See
that dog?" and he pointed to a brute of
particularly mean aspect and sinking
manner. HE amt gotno spirit-you can
see that, Ell? Of course. Well, that was
once the breeziest, sassiest, proudest dog
that ever gnawed bone. I loved that dog
like father. Well, I brought him to
town Decoration day. In Broadway we
met Gen. Sickles. I stopped to look at
him for hadn't seen him in ten years.
The dog scrut1nized him a minute and
must have thought to himself: There amt
no danger In a man with one leg cause he
can't kick out with the only foot he's got to
stand on So he Civ yelp an snap at
Gen. Sickles heels-I mean heel. Great
Lord! The General just swung himself
an his crutches, like the pendulum of a
clock-kicked plump from his shoulders
as 'twere-and the dog was knocked about
half a block. He sneaked back to me,
but, didn't bring a mite of his usual air.
He amt come to himself yet, an never
will. A whole lifetime of establishment
was kicked into him in that one instant,
and his mind is all gone. [ shall shoot
him when [ get home if ne don't die of
sOftening of the brain sooner"

ROSE AND DAISY.
JOS OPHIEE A. CAsS.

The Daisy lifted her eyesto the Rose
(The dsisy that grew 30 low,
At the summer day g dim thadowy clofe
When the south wind began TO blow,
And the blush of the sky at the parting kiss
OF the sun WAS paliDg slow.
And she won dered why, as daisies will,
God made the rose SO fair;
And, drowsily Dodding. wondered still
Till sleep o'ertook her there
A sleep so deep, she knew it not
When the south wind touched her hair.
But the south winds touch aroused dream;
In a heavenly garden plot
Beside clear and winding stream
That fed the forget-me-pot.
They two did seem Ctwas but dreamy
To grow and share one lott
They two did grow as sisters dear,
And the Daisy s weary bead,-
With never thought Of doubt or FEAR
On the Roses breast was laid
For the motber-beaIt stopped and drew II
near
The little motherIess head.
But the night wind passed, and the Daisy
woke:
Ard queenIy above her there
The Rose smiled on. The morning broke
And flushed the sapphire air,
And she wondered still, as daisies will,
Why roses grow so fair!

Two Burglar Stories.
London Queen.

Lone night lady, on going to her bed
room, long after the rest of the household
had retired for the night, saw to her dis
may mans foot protruding from the
drapery of the toilet table. What was she
to do? Here was evidently a burglar, the
house was large, rambling old place,
and her room, at the very top so far dis
tant from the rest of the household that
should she call for help no one could pos
sibly hear her. Like lightning the
thought flashed through her brain. If
she could only get at the gong in the hall
so as to alarm the household. But then
there was the fear of his following her!
Walking quietly out of the room she
closed the door, and finding tn e key QUO
side turned it hastily in the lock, ran
down stairs and sounded such furious
tattoo on the gong as speedily brought the
members of the household around her.
The gentlemen of the party, thinking it
rather a good joke, assembled to secure
the would be burglar, and caught him in
the act of emerging from the ladies, room
he having succeeded in picking the lock.
after short scuffie he was secured before
he could reach the window on the ground
floor by which he had effected an en-
trance.
A spice of humOr is often exhibited in
the way some people rise to the occasion.
When, at public dinner in Londsn some
years ago, gentleman saw a rather sus-
Picious looking man opposite him at the
table pocket silver spoon and fork, he
at once seized his spoon and stuck the
handle ostentatiously into his button hole.
On being asked to explain his extraorsi-
nary conduct he answered naiveIy: "Ah, [
saw that gentleman over there pocket
his spoon and fork and so [ concluded we
were all to take ours home with US tool"
The pockets of the designated gentlema II
were searched and on the articles in ques-
ton being discovered there, he was hand
ed over to the police, feeling, we have no
doubt rather caught.
