Good resolutions are in order at all times

SHERIFF CASEY.

On Monday next John B. Casey will
cease to be High Sheriff of Columbia
county. For the past three years he
has filled the Office very acceptably.
His previous training and experience
as clerk to the county commissioners,
and in other positions which he has
held, helped to fit him for the piece,
and he has made an unusually good
sheriff. His official duties have been
promptly performed, and he will go out
of Office with the best wishes of host
offriends all over the county. He will
move from the Jail on Monday to
his new residence on Iron street.

He was consistent member of the

his walk all through life told the faith
and full confidence in Fathers love.
Although waiting for the call. without
special warning, suddenly in a good
old age, in the midst ofhis family, with
out sigh or struggle, he took his
departure and as an honored member
of the church, society, and the Lodge
to which he belonged, he entered into
the Celestial City, May the remem-
brance of his life and character inspire
all who knew him with desire to i'm
itate him. Be it therefore
Resolved: That we sympathize with
the bereaved family and recommend
them for consolation to the God in
whom the departed put his trust.
Resolved: That our charter be
draped in mourning for thirty days

resolutions be presented to the family
of the deceased, and that the same be
published in the county papers.

CHAPERONED BACHELORS.


How Young Men who Are Taken to Leap
Year Parties Behave.
Some Of the leap year parties seem to
have been carried on or off with excep-
tional spirit, says the New York Times
1t has been laughable for instance, the
way in which the men have insisted
upon being chaperoncd. and young
women have called in carriages to ac-
company gay bachelors, who were care
fully protected by their mothers. to the
scene of festivities. One invcterate
Joker gave perhaps = hint to the bellies
of the sort of chaperonS that would be
most acceptable when he came into the
parlor to receive his fair escort. fol-
lowed by an elderly aunt who is deaf as
Il post and is besides almost blind. This
same man was wrapped in white opera
cloak cut with an absurd resemblance
TO a dress suit ulster: he carried bou-
quet of flowers and wore II band of rib
bon and bow on his hair. When he APP
peared from the dressing-room, after
laying aside his ambiguous wrap, it was
seen that the sleeves of his coat had
been taken out and elbow sleeves of
pink silk and lace substituted, which,
met by long pink kid gloves, etfectually
'brightened' his toilet and added to
his nondescript appearance.
At another leap-year party, held just
before Lent began, the Young women
danced the cotillon with white silk
crush hats under their arms. At the
same affair young footman in cap and

provided with powder and rouge boxes

VALUE OF SLEEP.

Great Men Believe in Natures Sweet Re-
stOrer.
The habit of great men in the mat
ter of sleep forms an interesting sub
jet of inquiry" said Mr.. E. w. Jacobs,
0f Boston, in the St. Louis Globe-Dem-
o,rat, 'and | believe such an inquiry
would show that those who have made
the greatest mark on the worlds his
tory have always taken it in album
dance. There is a popular belief that
Napoleon took only four or five hours
rest. but to my mind the theory has
grown out of the desire of his admirers
to show that in this matter, as in all
others, he differed from his fellows. As
matter of fact, 1t was impossible to
tell exactly how long he slumbered, but
it is certain that, like the great gen
erals in our own civil war, he availed
himself of every opportunity to seek
the greatest of all means of relief from
fatigue. Even when considering his
plans on the occasion of the greatest
event Of his military career, the battle
| Of Waterloo, the hour left him before
the decisive moment arrived was occu-
pied with a snooze, which he took with
dcliberation, after giving instructions
to one of his aides to arouse him Mt the
given time. So great, indeed, was his
love of a nap that his most trusted com
panions in arms always showed re-
| gard for his feelings on the subject by
never disturbing him. Napoleon's cas-
! is only that Of most military heroes and
] Of most great men. Gladstone rarcil

THE SUMMER OUTING.
A Trip on the Great Lakes In One OF the
Big Freight steamers.

A Trip on the Great Lakes In One OF the
Big freight steamers.
The vacation season will soon be up
on the Chicago multitude. When to
spend it everybody links he knows;
but how and where to spend it is an
other matter. 1t causes a great deal of
hesitation. But to those who have
tried it nothing seems finer than IA trip
on the great lakes. 1t is strange that
Chicago, with the long chain Of lakes
at its very door, should be so poorly
supplied with means of transportation.
II may be said that there is no trans
portation at all.
No lake city of any consequence Is so
inadequately furnished with lake transit
facilities for passengers. The lack of
accommodations has occasioned lack
of interest in travel of such kind. East
bound tourists travel by train. A few
Chicagoans who have the influence"
have in the past resorted to novel
method of taking a trip on the lakes
Not only is the method novel but the
experience is also unusual.
There are several lines of mammoth
freight boats traversing the sisters of
the sea-" These are fitted up with
all modern appliances and have extra
saloons for guests of the vessel pro-
prietors. The favored few who have
taken trips in these say there is moth
ing like it; that passenger boats are
completely eclipsed The boats are
larger and consequently steadier: there
is less formality, greater ease and com
fort, more attention from the crew, far
better food. and the added charm of Il
novel point of observation. True, the
crowd of fellow-travclcrs is absent. but
these are hardly missed A reasonable
solitude in the midst of mighty nature
has refreshing effect, and here is per-
feet rest.
To cut through the waters at the rate
of twelve to seventeen miles an hour,
to pass vessel after vessel on lakes COW
cred with fleets, to catch glimpse Of
gray-green shore here and there. to
pass town after town, is keener, more
agreeable sensation than to skim over
the ocean with its weary expanse of
water day after day.
Each lake has its individual charm
and each coast its own interesting
characteristics. 1t is pity that YES
sells from Chicago do not carry passen-
gers to every lake port of consequence.
