Couldn't Head of The Hot Wave.

Thomas Stephens came down from
Placerville yesterday. He had read
in the Record Union that hot wave
was coming, and wanted to get out
of the way. When he jumped the
train at Placerville the mercury
marked 100, but the hot wave trav-
eled faster than the cars, and when
Stevens got to Shingle Springs it was
104'. The hot wave stayed with him,
and when he looked at the Folsom
weather indicator he began to wish he
had stayed in Placerville, but he
pushed westward At Brighton he
got off the cars and sought the
thermometer, and was nearly paralyzed
when be saw the la mark trying to
hold down themercury.-SGc TdTentO

CONTESTED SEATS IN THE HOUSE

WHEN the new congress meets,
whether regular in December, or ear
lier in called session, there will be at
least sixteen contests over seats in
the house OF representatives. Nearly
all of them are in southern districts.
and in nearly every case it is the
Democrat who holds the certificate of
election. This fact will intensity a
naturally partisan bitterness, and
make the already complicated south
ern problem still more complicated
and tangled. With a small Republi-
can majority in the house, there will,
of course, be temptation to increase
it as much as possible, while on the
other hand the Democrats will be
tempted to resort to all sorts of part
Isan devices TO defeat the Republican
contestants without regard to reason
or justice.
The Republicans, however, are de-
termined that every case shall be de-
cided on its merits. In several con
tests, notably the two in West Vir-
ginia, the evidence is so overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the Republicans that
no valid reason can be furnished why
the two Bourbons from that state
whose seats are contested should re
tain their places. But in these in
stances, as in others, the Republican.
will act deliberately and fairly. Bu
no cry of ''resurrecting the bloody
shirt or ''reviving the passions anC
preiudices of the war era" will be abb,
to deter.the Republicans from doing
full and exact justice in every in,
stance. We have come to a point III
our history when the safety of our In
stitutions requires that men whose Ger
tifcates of election to seats in the house
of representatives have been secured 10y
bulldozing and fraud should be de
MED the seats thus obtained; and th'
sooner the south finds that it mus
deal fairly if it desires representation
the sooner the southern problem
will reach a settlement

RIVER STEAMERS.

There is no doubt, says Fridays

there will be considerable boat build
ing here. Several of the o. II. Il \.

run and then they must be replaced
by new ones. Some time ago the
DiCje THOMPSON was condemned. and
the company appealed to the inspect
Ors TO grant them papers to run her
as a tow boat. Yesterday an inspec-
ton was made, but her hull was found
to be so rotten that the request was
refused. Her machinery was all right,
though, and will be taken out for flu
ture use. There are several other
boats which will now be laid on the

with her stern wheel, and
her future movements will be
made with side wheels. Though
not so fine boat by far, she will be
in general very much similar TO the
Z. J. Potter, and when done, will be
taken around to the Sound, where, it
is likely she will remain. She will
have a length over all of 200 feet, with
a thirty-one foot six inch beam, and a
depth of hold of eleven feet. Some
of the old upper work will be used, as
well as the boilers and part of the
machinery, which is about as good as
new. The Queen Will be very strong
craft built by the most approved
methods. 1t is likely that when she
again strikes the water new name
will be given her. She will be com
pleted by the middle of November,
and will be worth about $4,000.

DID POE WHITE IT7

For The Egis and Intelllgencer.
Mr.. EDITOR: | respectfully ask publication
in The fsgis of the following poem, entitled,
"Leonainie," waiffrom the pen of Edgar Allen
Poe. This was first published, believe, several
years since, in the Kokomo, Ind. Dispatch, and
again In the Champion city Times, Springfield,
Ohio, May IL, 1886. The Times states that 1t
is, or was, in the possession OF an inhabitant OF
KokOmo, whose grandfather kept an inn in
Chesterfield, little village near Richmond, Va.
The history of ii is Ous night, young man,
bearing evidence of dissipation, asked for lodg-
ing and was shown to a room. He was not
seen again by the host !; he had gone whilst the
latter still slept, but left book, onthe fy-leat
of W hich he had written this poem, "in Roman
characters and almost as legible as print IL
self without interining or erasing single
word, finishing with signature-"E. A. p"
"Leonanie-anxels named her,
And they took the light
or the laughing stars and framed her
In smile of white;
Aud they made her hair OF gloomy
Midnight, and her eyes Of bOOmy
Moonshine, and they brought her TO me
In solemn night.
In solemn night of summer.
When my heart of gloom
Blo5sOmed up to meet the conner
Like u rose in bloom;
All tOrebOdings that distressed me.
dying Joy that caught and pressed me
In the arms of doomD
Only spake the little lisper
In the angel tongue
Yet /, listening heard her whisper:
Songs are only sung
, Here below that they may grieve you
Tales are told you to deceive you
So must Leonainie leave you
| While her love is young"
Then God smiled and 1t was morning,
Matehess and supreme;
Heavens glory seemed adorning
Earth with it's esteem:
Every heart but mine seemed gifted
With the voice of prayer and lifted
Where my Leonaine drifted
From me like dream.
| The peculiar rhythm and style OF this poem
give credence to the suppositiOn that Poe Is its
author, written whilst recovering from de.
bauch, at that period when the brain may see
nature as weird and fantastic, manner pscu lar
to his poetcal writings. The poem seems
valuable, chiefly, as work OF Poe yet. Is re-
msrkable for poetical spirit aud mechanism.
Very Respectfully,

In Ill LOH.
One of the chief arguments In favor of Life
Insurance has always been that 1t furnishes
ready money Immediately upon the death of
the assured. Immediate payment upon prssen-
tation Of claim and proof of same is exactly what
the assured pays his money for. 1t is one OF the
always implied terms of the contract, and can
see no reason for an ostentatious parade of the
fact that the money was Immediately paid when
due, IL being certainly no more creditable then
to an Individual who meets his obligations at
maturity.
But as 1t appears to be the order of the day to
publish immediate payments, | will say that
this has long been the rule with the Equitable

proofs of death were received, and paid most of
the balance within one week.

.UnRarranted Abuse.

The maligancy with which the News
abuses the city of Abilene, which sup
ports the worthless sheet, surpasses the
bitterness of any paper in Kansas
against a rival town. 1t would be sup
posed from the continued lying abuse
which it heaps upon Abilene thatit has
some deep-seated hatred for the city
and is determined to ruin it. The
News knows that Abilene is more pros
porous and has more enviable pros
pect before it than a majority of the
Kansas cities and when it maligns the
town, it does it out of pure cussedness.
1t is matter of congratulation that its
circulation is so limited that little harm
can result.
