Not Tall Enough.

History has recorded that foreign
princess to whom Henry VIII. Of Eng
land offered his hand in marriage sent
back the pointed answer that 'if she
had had two heads she would gladly
have placed one of them at his Majesty's
disposal. This allusion to the fate OF
Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard
was good specimen of the epigram-
matte smartness of that period; but,
says Mr.. David Kerr, an equally
creditable performance has been fur
nished by our wn age.
Just at the time when vague reports
were beginning to creep abroad that
Germany was meditating fresh ex-
tension of her frontier at the expense
of Holland, Dutch official Of high
rank happened to be visiting the court
of Berlin, where he was handsomely
entertained. Among other spectacles
got up to amuse him, a review was Or
SanlZeu at 1OtSuaul.
"What does your Excsllency think
of our soldiers2' asked Prince Bis
marck, as one of the regiments came
marching past in admirable order.
''They look as if they knew how to
fight" remarked the visitor, gravely
"but they are not quite tall enough"
The prince looked rather surprised at
this disparaging criticism. He nude
no answer, however, and several other
regiments filed past in succession; but
the Dutchman's verdict upon each and
all was still the same: 'Not tall
enough"
At length the Grcnadiers of tho
Guard made their appcarance-a mag
ticent body of veterans, big and
stalwart enough to have satisfied even
the giant wing father of Frederick
the Great; but the inexorable critic
merely said, '.Fine soldiers, but not
tall enough"
Then Prince Bismarck fairly los
patience and rejoined, somewhat
sharply, ''These grenadiers are the
finest men in our whole army; may
ask what your Excellency is pleased tc
mean by saying that they are not tall
enougha"
The Dutchman looked him full in
the face and replied, with significant
emphasis, 81 mean that We can food
our country twelve feet deep"

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Hypocrisy is the necessary burden Of
villainy.
Confidence is plant Of slow growth
in an aged bosom.
It is much easier to meet with an
error than to find the truth.
How oft the sight of means to do ill
deeds make i'll deeds done.
Be not immodcst in urging your
friend to disclose q secret.
Be not hasty to believe flying reports
to the disparagement of any.
Base envy withers at another's joy
and hates that excellence it cam OF
reach.
Undertake not to teach your equal in
the art he himself profe,ses; it savors
of arrogance.
In your apparel, be modest, and On :
deavor to accommodate nature, rather
than to procure admiration.
In writing, or speaking, give to every
person his due title, according to his
degree and the custom of the place.
There are some people who are out of
sorts at every hands turn for no legiti-
mate reason; because the sun has gone
under n cloud. because they slept badly v
or ate too heartily, but the companion
able person makes the best of every
situation.
If we wait till we shall be able to do
great things before using cur faculties
and opportunities, the likelihood is
that we shall do nothing. The great
things are only done now and then by
a few, and then as the result of the
smaller ones done beforehand.

ALL SUMNER" /"

The bulldog is not an animal to be
admired, yet he possesses one trait that
ut least entities him to our respect.
His tenacity of purpose Is proverbial.
1t makes him formidable adversary.
A like trait has often enabled man to
overcome great obstacles and win VIC
tory under the most trying circum-
stances. In fact, it is only by tenacity
of purpose and indomitable will-power.
that many of life's battles are brought
to a successful termination.
Disease, like mans more material
enemies, is often an obstinate adver-
sary, and 1t is only by the most de-
termined persistency In the use of the
best remedy that victory is attained
over it. While DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is guaranteed to benefit

standing, which are usually alike slow
in their inception and progress, the cure
must likewise be effected by slow de-

Discovery Of a Lost Mine.

Samuel George and NJ. r. Brown ol
Cornucopia, Ore, have discovered the
long-sought-for Stanton diggings in the
Eagle range of mountains. In 1856;
Stanton brought into B,ker City several
ounces of placer gold, but refused tc
reveal the place from which it came. In
saloon row he killed man and fleI
for his life, taking the secret of his dis
covery with him. Many havs searched
in vain for the lost diggings. Gaorgs
and Brown, however, accident ally stun
bled in Gayapoo, into one of Stanton s
old prospect holes, and upon investiga-
tion fabulously rich prospects were
found, aud pick, shovel and frying

Missed a Fortune.

Quincy Robinson related an incident
of the early history of the oil regions
rccen tly which may give the children
of the present generation vague idea
of the magnitude of the transactions
which took place when oil was IS and
50 barrel, and poor people gained a
competency by scooping it off the sur.
face of creeks or GATHERED it from pools
around the tanks which had overfowed.
The story as told by Mr.. Robinson was
as follows:
"Within month after Colonel Drake
had struck the first petroleum ever
brought to the surface in America by
means of drilling, my father ani tho
father of m} relatives here bought a
tract of land comprising 1880 acres ad.
joining the farm on which the Drake
well was located, for $3.50, 900. Not
long afterward was sitting in their
Office one day-I remember it as dis
tinctly as though it happened only yes
terday-when an agent for an Eistcrn
syndicate walked in and offered $500,
600 for the 1880 acres. The owners
looked at him rather incrcd ously for
moment. but before they could speak
he had counted out on the table $500,
900 in cash and drafts, which he Of
fered for deed of the tract. l was
appalled, by the sight of the pile, but
my father and the father of these gen.
tlemen retired for consultation, and dc
cided that if the property was worth
$500, 600 it was worth 81, 600. 600. and
the offer was refused. Their heirs still
own the land, and now it, is valued at
about $40, 600. Where they could
have got dollars we could scarcely got
nickels. Thus you can see what SEEM
ingly fairy stories could be told of those
days. They are almost incomprehensi-
BILE to the present generation, but they
were red-h facts" And a sigh OF
regret that the offer had not been ac
ceptcd went around the CIRCLE. Pitts

THAT the Morning News has degen-
Grated Is unquestionable. That IL has
gone down the plane Of political decency
TO the Bach-Higgins-Hersey level is
shown by the following:
The Democratic papers Of this town
have ceased to discuss the question OF
the 2, 500 Democratic delinquents, more
or less, upon whom alone the Democrats
depend for a possible victory in this
county at the next elestion, and In whose
appearance at the polls as qualified
voters the Republicans see a gigantic
piece Of political fraud.
This charge emanated from the Daily
Jersey. Il was made months ago and
not a single paper paid she slightest at
tsntlon TO IL. Even the News, before it
came under It's present influence, passed
ever the charge as thsignorant and mali
clous vsporings Of an intense partisan.
The charge rests on no more stable
foundation that Solomon Jerseys unsup-
ported word. OF course the Democratic
papers refuse TO discuss tho unsupported
charge Of Solomon Jersey. He and his
charges are alike unfit for public discus
sion. BE is not a credible witness be-
cause Of his intense psrtissnship and fol
other reasons, and the News never peic
the slightest attention TO his charge
which has been running in the Daily
Herssy for ten months, till the News goi
into the low-down scramble for Office. Il

after this degradation Hersey got the

FOLLOWING HYNsoN.

The Democrats are prepared to vote
honestly and in strict compliance with
the law, and any impression that Solo.
mon Hersey may have to the contrary, ia
untrue.
IL Is to the interest, as It Is the inclina-
ton Of Solomon Jersey, to be unfair and
to misrepresent anything relating to the
tax Office The Morning News. in giving
credit to his statements concerning de-
linquent poll taKAblea, just At this time,
when it has never given credit to this
statement or to any other statement
made by Solomon Hersey at any other
time, shows that the News is less caro-
full now, or has some particular interest
in the same direction.
Solomon Hersey might, II put under
oath, tell the truth in regard to the tax
office matters, but no fair minded man
would select him as a witness, and the
Daily Hersey has never shown the
slightest inclination to tell the truth
sworn or unsworn. It Is Republican
politics Of tho present day to misrepro-
sent, and the News has suddenly gotter
deep into the mire Of Republican politics
for perhaps the same reason that edlto
Hynson got in again.
There is no doubt that the Republican
have full poll Of their negroe
and tina. the negroes will b
paid and marched to the polls in large
numbers and more frequently than eve
before. There is no doubt that those VIII
are qualified will have no difficulty what
ever in casting their votes. Hence all q
the anticipated trouble OF the News
spread before the community now to II
fame the minds Of the negroes and pu
them In rioting trim and to make decor
white Republicans think that ther
are some dreadful frauds impending
Perhaps thatis true. but the frauds i'm
pending are being Matched and will b,
promoted from the Askew Building.
1t is pitiable spectacle. however, tbs
News is presenting by indulging in Zig
ginsism politics and in turning APPROX
ingly to HerEey. We cannot believe tbs
it's courssi is having enough influence upo
intelligent and respectable white Repul
iieans to rccomponse 1t for this sudde
degradation and It certainly has not II
huence enough to hope to inhame an
excite the negroes; hence the conclusic
is almost inevitable that the editor
demeaning himself and lowering the tor
Of his paper for an Office.
, This position of course renders an
, proposition, argument or statement
the News liable to the suspicion Of bsir
"for value received" and hence eth

! wealth.
