AN INGENIOUS RIDDLE.

Some years ago, says the New Yorl
lFcekly, there was dispute between o,
old lady and gentleman about riddle,
--he contcnding that they were useless
many Of them silly, aud that he hat
never seen one which hO had failed I,
selvc.
Tho old lady took down her Bible, an,
told him that by the next day she woul,
produce II riddle which he could no
readily solve. At tho appointed time sh
handed him the following lines:
God made Adam ont Of dust,
But thought it bes, to make INC first;
So was made before tho man,

My body lie did make complete,
But without arms or legs or fset
My way and actions did control,
And l was made without soul.
A living thing l then became,
And Adam gave to me my Shnle;
Then from his presence l Withdrew,
And more of Adam never knew.
l did my Makers laws obey,
From them never went asttay;
Thousands of miles run, ltsar,
But seldom on tho earth APPEAR.
But God in me did sometimes sec,
Aud put living soul in me;
A soul Of me my God did claim,
And took from me that sonl'again.
But when from me the soul was fled,
Twas the same as when first made;
And without hands or feetsor soul,

Norto the grave, nor hell below.
The Scriptures l cannot belicys;

Although my name therein is found,
They are to me an empty sound.

The Murder of DR.. Gilmer.

The brutal murder of DR.. w. r.
Gilmer, formerly of Hancock county,
more recently Of Warren county, brief
mention of which was made in last
weeks issue of your valuable paper,
has created more sensation than was
ever known IN Hancock county. DR..
Gilmer left his home near Sholes
Ogehe, Warren county, on Monday,
December II, and came to Sparta to
attend the Superior Court. He left
his wife In bed sick at the time, but
she was thought to be improving.
Having some cases in court, he was
compelled to go to Sparta. His life
had been repeatedly threatened. The
cowardly assassins had no doubt laid
plans to murder him weeks ago, and
executed it before he had been in
town four hours, knowing he would
be called to town court week. He
was shot from store door and win
dow in the back several times, Mr..
Julian West (Hancock county's rep
resentative) first slapping him in the
face.
The Doctor had written a circular
in defence of the Peoples party,
which had an extensive circulation IN
the tenth district. 1t completely
wiped up the Hancock bosses, and
was everywhere considered victory.
Since then there have been bitter ami
mosities against him. He was among
the first in Hancock to champion the
Peoples party cause, and there were
few who could handle him in debate.
This murder has everywhere engen-
dered bitter animosities against the
town Of Sparta, which will always be
felt by this generation of people, and
had it not been for the more con-
servative men, God only knows what
would have been the result.

Gen. J. G. Field writes from his
home, Gordonsville, Va, to the Ma
tional View, of Washington, d. c.:
| do not know what Mr.. Cleveland
is going to do. / doubt if he knows
himself. His party is so discordant.
The tariff and the currency, and when
and how to deal with them, are sub
iects of anxious debate with the tri-
umphant Democracy. Even the ex-
ira session is a bone Of deep if not
Of angry contention. The members
of Congress draw an annual salary.
If the Democrats have anything to
do for the relief Of the people, why
not do it promptly? The division of
the spoils need not delay the action
of Congress. There is no new ques-
ton to deal with. The tariff and the
currency have been under considera-
ton for years, and it is reasonable to
suppose, from the stump speeches of
Democrats, that they know all the
wrongs, and are prepared to furnish
all the remedies for the vicious Re
publican policy. Then why not let
the people have it at once.
1t will not do to say you must not
change even bad law too soon. If
this is so (but I doubt it, it does not
apply to the tariff. For if the Dem
ocrats are sincere they dave been
serving notice at every Congressional
election for the past twenty five years
upon the people that they would re-
form the tariff as soon as they got
into power. Yet it seems they are
not ready to begin the work of re-
forming. hope our friends 10 Con-
gress will press upon them "that now

Though the results of the official
canvass of the votes of all the States
at the last election have not been an
nounced, and, indeed, though the I'M
official figures are not complete,
enough is known to form a basis for
some interesting data for politicians
in all parts of the country; and a
study Of the figures, even though they
may not be absolutely accurate, will
give some clew to the influences dom
mating the election in November.
The following tables have been pre-
pared with care, and for a majority
of the States the figures are as accu-
rate as it was possible to make them.
For others, notably Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi, Michigan and
Nevada, the figures are estimated,
and it is likely that, while the general
result will not be affected in the
main, the official figures will increase
the total vote in the country. Full
returns of the Prohibition votes are
not at hand, though from the indlca-
tions in various parts of the country
it is not likely to exceed that of 1888.
Should there be no further change
