Polite Diction in Rochester.

Despite the most careful training on
the part of parents and teachers the
boys and girls of the present day, and
especially the former, persi in using
forcible expressions. Yesterday lady
and her young son were seated in q
street car near the Four Corners. The
lad was the pink of propriety. and to
all appearance, he would as soon have
thought of eating pie with a knife as
using slang. He wore fashionable
suit and held tennis racket in his
neatly gloved hand. His fond mother
was speaking in an undertone to
friend of the remarkable docility and
politeness of her SON and especially of
his training 80 far as the street vernacu-
lar was concerned. Said she: sChawles
would not deviate from the cowwect
fawm of expression undah any circum-
stawnces." just then newsboy poked
his head through the car door and yell
ed: Paper only 2 cents" The juve-
nile dude did not raise his eyes. but he
gave the intruder vicious poke with
the racket all the same The gamin
burst out with Cheese that, or III give
you smack in the puss" '1Oh, rats"
said the pink of proprIety, you amt
big enough. Go soak your head and get
the bugs out" The expression on the
face of the Mortified mother was study.
As soon as she could catch her breath
she gently observed: Just wait till /
get you home, young man, and I'll at
tend to your case. Rochester Post-EZ-

The Old and New Year.
BY ALICE d. wICKEN.


List, to the belis-the mournful bells
As they throb with q measured beat,
speaking to, all. in plaintive strain,
or the Old Years sad retreat
We clasp our hands with q smothered cry,
And breathe prayer as the sound floats by
With US. he hath jonrneyed many day,
A friend, both tried and true;
Gathered with us the lily pale,
And the tender violet blue;
hath wandered away DER meadows brown,
And where Autumn leaves, came whirling
down.
BE hath dwelt with us when the snow fakes
fell.
Covering bramble and hedge,
TIL the hills and the far thest solitudes
Are touched with q diamond edge;
When the frost king paints in silvery sheen,
The story OF many happy dream.
Dear friend. you have joined mid the festive
throng.
Where naught but joy had birth;
Have stood by us in the deepest gloom.
As our lovedwere borne from earth;
when our hearts were sore with cankering
bligtt--
You babe US look upward, where all is light.
Oft we've made your burden too heavy,
In Our own proud. selfish woe,
No wonder your hair is silvcred white.
And your aged form bent low,
But, We claspthy hand with lingering sigh,
AS you pass ayay-Old Year, good bye.
Bat bark what 10 that on the still night air
Ringing out with merry chime?
AS onward each tone. in responsive no ties
Is echoed from cline to cline;
Soon, we will greet joyous morn
To us, the glad New Year is born
Oh, may its HE be pure and fair.
Its crown be gemmed with noble deeds;
For as our hand soweth. thus we win reap
Bright treasures or worthless weeds;
Strive to be better-be not afraid,
Let not the good resolutions fade.
Then ring. ring, ye merry bells,
Till from earth your chimes reach heavens
blue,
Ring, for all nations TO Danish strife,
Ring, for all hearts 20 be good and true;
fonr coming we greet, with smile and
tear
Welcome, welcome. happy New Year.

GEN. LOGAN DEAp.
He Passes Away at O'Clock sunday
Afternoon.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 26.-John
A. Logan died three minutes before 5
O'Clock this afternoon. His death, which
came with startling suddenness to his
family and friends, had not been unex-
pected by his physicians for some days.
The lurking tendency to brain complica-
tons, which had been present, in a
greater or less, and constantly increas-
ing in severity during his entire illness,
had prepared them to expect the worst.
The racking pains which he had suffered
during the early days of his illness,
yielded to treatment, but left him in a
weak and exhausted condition, from
which he never rallied, and upon which
the fever preyed with increasing violence
until the hour of his death. After mid
night his pulse grew weaker and weaker,
and at 4 o'clock this morning his condi-
ton was such as to cause great fear of
his immediate death. After this he rail-
lied somewhat, and at the consultation
which was held at 9 o'clock this morn
ing his pulse was found to be somewhat
stronger, but his general condition was
not such as to give hope of ultimate re-
covery.
The physicians again met in consulta-
ton at 1:30 p. NJ, when it was apparent
that the patient was rapidly sinking and
could live but few hours. At 2 o'clock
the general revived sufficiently to recog-
nize his wife, who has been at his bed
side night and day during his entire i'll
ness. As she spoke to him he looked up
into her face, and all who were present
knew that he recognized her. This was
the last manifestation of consciousness.
He then YEARLY closed his eyes and sank
again into lethargic sleep from which
he never awoke.
The news of the death of Senator
Logan will be received with shock of
surprise by the whole country. 1t was
known, for some days past, that he was
confined to his house by an attack of
rheumatism, but it was aot suspected
that his illness was of serious nature.
His apparently robust constitution, his
usual vigorous health, and bis temper
ate habits, all seemed to promise a
long life and many years still of activity
and usefulness. His loss to his state as a
senator and to the nation as soldier,
citizen. legislator and a patriot
cannot be estimated. He will be
mourned by people of every class and
of every political party.

DIR. Eugene SlOat In Trouble.

DR.. w. E. Sloat, an old citizen of
Grant county, now residing at Denmark,
Iowa, has been indicted by the grand
jury at that place for murder in the Sec
ond degree. The circumstances of the
affair are that the Doctor struck negro
for repeated acts of insult and rudeness
toward him, and some fifteen or twenty
minutes afterward as Sloat was going
home the darkey came up behind him
and knocked him down by a blow on the
head with hickory stick. When Sloat
arose and turned around on his knees to
see what was the matter, the negro
threw the stick which struck The Doctor
in the face. Mr.. Sloat then drew re-
volver and shot his assailant dead. The
Doctor was then arrested, and was after
wards indicted for murder in the second
degree, his bail being fixed at $4,000.
He was liberated after his two brothers.
in-law and two old resident farmers had
voluntarily signed his bond. Sloat was
severely hurt by the blow. His scalp
was cut to the bone through thick win
ter cap by the negro's stick. The negro
is described as the ''best of bad lot of
brothers who were raised at Denmark,
the oldest one of whom has figured in
the courts in more than one criminal
matter, and who is now out on bail on
condition that he stops in New Mexico"
Three white men are concerned in the
affair, one indirectly and the other two
directly, they having urged the negro to
strike Sloat and offering to back him up
in it. The outcome of the coming trial
at the spring term of the circuit court is
considered uncertain.
DR.. w. E. Sloat has been an honored
citizen of Grant county almost from his
boyhood up to May, 1885, at which time
he left Mt. Hope for Iowa. He has held
positions of public trust, and is an hon.
orable, Iwell educated, quiet and gentle
manly person. The whole county will
regret to learn of this unpleasant affair.
