A deep gloom was cast over the
whole community by the sudden death
Of one Of our number, n loved aud re-
specled brother, Thomas Alvin Tay-
Tor. The deceased had been working
around his home all day, bright and
joyous, for he was Just finishing his
new house. lie had done all his chores
and his wife had called him TO supper.
He waved his hand In reply and wen,
to turn the water ON his luoern; not
turning up after tho lapse Of
soine tine his wife went IN
search OF him. The night was
dark and stormy, and the hunt was
continued for a long time, but at
length she found his body cold and
llieless lying upon It's back. lie
had lust finished his work and was
returning TO the house. Judging from
the position In which the body lay
death must have been instantaneous.
The funeral services Were held on
Saturday, the 18th inst, and was one
OF the largest ever witnessed In this
valley.
Brother Taylor was born May
Goth, 1871, and was hence n little over
twenty years old. He was tn,

Recollections OF Lincoln.
From Overland Monthly.l

Henry Winter Davis animosity against
Montgomery Blair had much to do with the
inspiration and antagonism of his opposi-
ton to Abraham Lincoln's ideas of recon
struction. Winter Davis could not have
been named in place of Hannibal Hamlin
for vice president at Chicago, but he de-
clined. The same place was again offered
him at Baltimore where Seward and Thur
low Weed defeated by two votes Greeley's
candidate for the vice presidency, the bril-
liant and versatile lawyer, Lyman Tremaine
of New York.
Meeting Davis of Maryland in the rotun-
da of the capitol in May, said, ''Wil you
accept place on the ticket with Lincoln,
for vice PRESIDENT"
He was as proud as Lucifer before his
fall. 1 recall his scornful look, and his re-
ply: "Vice president hehind that thing in
the white house-uo"
But he lived to regret his hasty decision,
and Winter Davis died a thoroughly disap-
painted politician, of great and command
ing powers.
Later on in the same year / stood near
Lincoln at a public reception. Vicksburg
and Gettysburg had come and gone. Mont
gomery Blair, with presidential bee in his
bonnet big as bumble-bee, had gone with
the twining woodbine, when he woke up
in the morning and found a laconic note, in
pencil, from Lincoln, saying:
'sThe time has come"
Blair's decapitation pleased Winter Da-
Wis, for the Maryland factions walked over
ashes thinly covering fires, and he began tc
call at the white house receptions Lin.
coin saw him standing in the crowd in the
reception room, but evidently ayerse tc
coming near him. "Well," said this gen
tie, tranquil spirit, az am glad to see Win
ter Davis here. He has not darkened thos.

A SETBACK FOR WOMAN.


Woman in Illinois is more or less
troubled because the Supreme court of the
State has decided that the act of June 10,
1891, is unconstitutional in so far as it
assumes to extend to women the right to
vote for county superintendents of schools.
This leaves open the question whether the
legislature can extend to women the right
to vote for other school officers under the
constitution as it now is-a question which
was not presented to the court for its
decision. But the decision settles several
things. One is that the legislature has no
power to authorize anybody to vote for
any constitutional officer who is not a
voter under the terms of the constitution.
that the legislature may authorize women
to vote because the constitution does not
say expressly that they shall not vote. 1t
settles it that the mention in the constitu-
ton of certain classes as entitled to vote
has the effect of excluding all other classes.
1t settles it that in the opinion of the Su-
preme court the legislature cannot give the
ballot to women simply because it has not
been withheld from them expressly by the
constitution, any more than it can give the
ballot to foreigners not naturalized or to
males under twenty-one years of age, be-
cause it has not been expressly denied to
these classes by the constitution.
The Chicago Herald tells the women of
Illinois who wish to vote at school cleo
tions or other elections that they should
seek to gain the object of their desire from
this time forward through amendment to
the State constitution. This seems to be
the only way for them to make sure of the
rights they claim.

NO REPUBLICAN ORGANS.

Secretary Swartwout of the Democratic
State committee thinks there is but one
Democratic paper in the State, and Cover
nor Bulkeley cheerfully announces that
there are no aggressive Republican papers
in Connecticut or New England. If we
understand the governor he is right in his
assertion. There are no Republican
"organs" in Connecticut or New England
which are bound to grind out any tune
which party managers or partisan Office
seekers or ofice-holders want played.
There are few or none in the country.
Once they were numerous. They lived
off of Fpolit;cs, and some of them got q
very good living. They also had great
deal of influence and weight, much more
in many cases than they were fairly en-
titled to. They ''nailed lies" and
vituperated with unceasing and indis-
criminate industry. Their motto was
"Our party, right or wrong" and
they did not hesitate at anything they
thought would help the party. 1t was
understood that they were advocates rather
than judges and that party advantage
rather than true patriotism was their aim.
But times have changed. Political organs
such as were once popular, profitable and
influential would be neither now. They
would be little read and their ''slang-
whanging" would be laughed at. Conduc-
tors of newspapers have found, during the
last ten years especially, that the people
don't want organs, even if some of those
who would love and lead the people do.
All this if we understand our aggress-
i've and outspoken governor. But if he
| means that there are no papers in Con-
necticut or New England which are
doing constant, intelligent, reasonable,
vigorous and effective work for the fur
therance of true Republicanism he is very
| much mistaken. No State in the Union
has sounder or more faithful Republican
press than Connecticut. We do not sup
pose it always satisfies those who take an
active part on the Republican side in the
game of politics. 1t would be impossible
| to do that.

Enchanted Stones.

From the London Standardl
In different parts of the country have
long existed number of magic stones
said to possess the most remarkable prop
critics. Tradition tells how certain So
called speaking stones" called out when
a dead body was placed upon them, or
contradicted person who swore falsely
by them. St. Orlando's stone, which
stands about a mile northeast of Glamis
castle, had the reputation, in years past,
of prophetically revealing the events of
the future, either by speech or sign from
itself, or inward response felt by those
who invoked its aid. Maidens therefore
repaired to its hallowed shrine for infor-
nation as to their future destiny, and low
ers plighted their solemn troth there. AT
St. David's cathedral the Llechlafar, or
speaking stone," which served as bridge
over the river Allyn, was long famous. II
was not lawful to carry dead body over
it for interment, and, when that indignity
was on one occasion offered TO it, it lifted
its voice in remonstrance and split with
the effort. A prophecy of Merlin foretold
that king of England should die on this
stone, wounded by red-haired man.

But, before setting foot on the stone, tbs
king addressed it solemnly, and passed
over it unharmed to make his offerings be

to speaking sometimes, it is said, stones
have been known to travel from one plact
to another without mortal aid.
In Pembrokeshire there are the well
known Dancing Stones of Stackpool. Oh
the many stories told of these strange
stones, one is to the effect that on a Ger
tain day they meet and travel to certain
spot to dance; and, at the completion o.
their revel, return home and resume thei1
places. Similarly there is peculiar ston'

An Evenfn=fn Athens.

Iue rec
1t was evening in Athens, and few of
the gang were sitting on the steps of the
Parthenon, blowing cigar smoke over the
Acropolis and discussing current events.
"Did you hear that speech made to-
day." inquired Demosthenes of -Fschines,
part of it only" replied -Eschines,
with a half-observable sneeT, al had
case in the squire's court and had to
leave"
'1t was corker," remarked young Dio-
dorus," who was under some obligations to
the orator for tips in speech of his own,
recently delivered against Timocrates.
"Thanks," responded Demosthenes, with
his eyes on Aschines; ''glad you liked it.
Where the dickens did you get those cigar
ettes" he continued to the young man;
"they smell like the muzzle of an shaft
in Chicago zephyr"
The young husband blushed and through
the cigarette over the wall.
81 think your speeches are swagging
down in the middle here lately" observed
Eschines after the manner of those friends
who tell us disagreeable things.
"Rats!" expostulated Diodorus, coming
to the old mans rescue. 'You are talking
through your hat"
NO" interrupted Demosthenes calmly;
''my GOOD friend lEschines is, think, par
TALLY correct. I've been reading Chsuncey
Depew's speeches lately, and though his
stories are rather antique, perhaps the idea
of their introduction is good, and the gen
eral style of his efforts is calculated to
please. Ny style is too free from rhetori-
cal establishment, and l do not employ
the wealth of imagery, and elaborate my
pictures in exquisite detail as Chauncey
doesp
"He may have the bulge on you there" 5"
put in Diodorus, "but-"
eyes," continued Dcmosthenes, "he has;
and besides he's railroad president and
can eat in seven languages"
Eschines here took fresh chew of old
gold Etruscan plug.
'1 think" and the orators voice was
saddened little, 'that if 1 had it to do
it over again, I'd not shut myself up in a
cell with half my head shaved and eat peb-
| bles but would be a railroad president and
cultivate my stomachic capacity. Chaun-
cey may never be Demosthenes, nor will
ever Demosthenes be a Depew," and De-
mosthenes knocked the ashes out of his
corn-cob pipe, caught the car down the in
cline and went to his boarding house on
the Hobokenessus flats.

now say "What numberl" The Stronger
Automatic Telephone Exchange is intended
to do the work now done by them. The
Stronger machine is operated by electric
ity. 1t consists of simple looking board.
Keys are upon it with thousands, hun
dreds, tens and units marked thereon. A
person desiring to connect with number,
say /, ,457, pushes the thousand key once.
The hundred key four times, the ten key
five times and the one key seven times.
The numbers of the keys connect them to-
gether and the aid of an operator is un-
necessary. When through talking tap
on the release key disconnects the two wires.
A register on each telephone indicates when
another desires to speak over wire that
is busy.
Major B. G. Freeman of Chicago, Presi-
dent Johnson's private secretary, gives
this incident of the "swing around the
circle" trip: The next place was Niagara
Falls, where there was another banquet
and ball at night. The latter was ex-
ceptionslly brilliant. After the ball, after
everyone had retired save johnson, Nor
row and myself, johnson expressed a wish
to see the falls by night. We got a car
riage and crossed the river to the Canadian
side, and johnson stood before the sight
uncovered and wrapt in thought. II
made deep impression on him, for he
did not speak afterward until he had
reached the hotel. Then he said to us;
''I have violated o precedent. I have
stood on foreign soil while president OF
tht United States. I had not thought of
it before" He was the only president
who had ever done so. 1t seemed to affect
him, not sentimentally, for he was never
sentimental, but he seemed to think he
would be censured for being the first pres
ident to violate precedent. Morrow and
I agreed to keep the secret, and this
seemed to relieve johnson. I have never
spoken of it since until now. johnson
and Morrow are dead, and as there can be
no harm done by telling the incident. you
may use it if you think best.

The Waiting Time.

There are days of deepest sorrow
In the seasons of our life;
There are wild despairing moments,
There are hours of mental strife;
There are times of stony anguish,
When the tears refuse to fall,
But the waiting time, my brothers,
Is the hardest time of all.
We can bear the heat of conflict.
Though the sudden crushing blow,
Beating back our gathered forces,
For moment lay us low;
We may rise again beneath it.
None the weaker for our fall;
But the waiting time, my brothers,
Is the hardest time of all.
Yet at last we learn the lesson,
That God knoweth what is best,
And silent resignation
Makes the spirit calm and blessed;
For, perchance day is coming,
For the changes of our fate,
When our hearts will thank him meekly
That he taught us how to wait.
