Il was stormy, but uow there is calm.
Marietta fer weeks has been seething
and boiling in hot municipal election.
Mayor I. w. Glover asked for reelection
and waged vigorous campaign. His
opponent. Col R. N. Holland, prominent
lawyer, put up equally as strong fight.
Each side had strong hackers, and nothing
was left undone to win the fight for their
respective sides. Each side rentel hall
Mr.. Glover over Hirsch's store and Mr..
Holland Rogers Hall. There the clans
gathered every Monday night, and the last
week nearly every night. Speeches were
made and every method used to arouse
enthusiasm. Both sides went into the
fight confident and sanguine of success,
claiming a good size majority.
1t is to be regretted many things were
done by both sides that were not credita>
BILE. It was contest that reflected dis
reputably upon the civilization, good order
and peace of the town. 1t is quite evident
that money, whisky and beer were used
and liberty and license were given that
was deplorable.
Each side had brass bands and kept up
"whooping and hollering," and other
noises that COMPOUNDED confusion.
The polls opened at o clock Tuesday
morning with Messrs. b. R. Legg, Camps
bell Wallace, Jr., and A. M. Dobbs,
managers, honorable, upright gentlemen,
whose honesty and fairness stands un-
questioned, The vote was quite lively
for some time. A large number of chal.
lenges were made, and some made that
ought not to have been made. The Sher,
if, as it was his sworn duty, preserved
the peace. Some six extra deputy sheriffs
were sworn in to help him. When wars
rants were sworn out for false swearing,
the officers made the arrests. Some IS or

A Wonderful Tree.

A very useful kind of tree to have in ones
front yard is reported as growing near some
springs about IL miles north of Tuscarora. Its
truly wonderful characteristic is its luminosity,
which is so great that on the darkest night it
can be plainly seen mile away. A person
standing near could read tho finest print by its
light. 1t is about six feet high, with trunk
which at its base is three times the size of an
ordinary mans wrist. Its foliage is extremely
rank, and its leaves resemble somewhat hose
of the aromatic bay tree in shape size, and
color. Tho luminous property is due to a
gummy substance. which can be transferred to
the hand by rubbing. The principal objection
to the use of this kind OF tree for street.lamp
would seem to be that its luminosity is probably
due simply to phosphorescence and, therefore,
If it were not planted in a damp place, and il
the sun did not shine every day, it would not

Before leaving Vancouver we lad been given
permit to ride on the cowcatcher. There had
been some difficulty in getting it. as the OIL
Gals of the Canadian Pacific had rather dis
couraged the idea, ana tried hard to persuade
rs that all purposes would be answered by
our riding with the engine driver but then
they were obliged to allow that the scenery
could be seen far and away better from the
front of the engine: that, given strong head
the ride on ccwcatchcr was delightful. and
that several ladies had done it already. What
other ladies had done we felt sure we could do
too. and so eventually our permit was given u.s.
1t desired the driver of the engine to let US
ride in front of it between certain named sta
tions, and it stated that we did so Mt our own
risk and peril and took all danger to life and
limb on ourselves. 1t was rather an alarmingly.
worded missve, but we saw that the order was
numbered far into the second hundred, SO that
we were far from being the first people who
had treated themselves to the risks and danger,
and we took comfort accordingly. We found
the cowcatcher to he an arrangement of iron
bars fastened to the lower part of the front of
the engine, and so making kind of blunt
plow in front of it; and it was on the engine,
with our feet dangling over hisscowcatcher,
that we found we were to sit, one on each side.
And there we rode from the foot of the Sekirk
Mountains till we reached Glacier House, close
to the top Of the pass. wonderful two hours
ride that was; the air wbizzing past u.s. the
huge engine painting aud grunting at our
backs; such q roar in our ears that we couldn't
hear each other speak. and mingled feelings of
danger and security that were exciting and
thrilling indeed. Presently came tunnel,
and tunnel when riding on a cowcatcher is
thing to be remembered l saw the narrow
track in front of me vanish in little black
hole in the mountain. side, and the next mo.
ment we were in that black hole and plunged
into utter darkness. On and on the train
rushed with a deafening noise through the
zimmerman blackness. / had vague feeling
that must hold fast for my life, my only idea
the confident one that should see the light
presently. The cold, heavy, damp air whizzed
past me; my ears were filled with the roar of
tho train, my eyes ached with staring ahead
for the point of light which seemed never
coming. Then tiny fash like star appeared
and in another moment we were out Of the
black darkness and into the sunshine, with the
green trees dancing in the light and the blue
sky above US! Was there ever sky so blue be-
fore, or sun that shone so brightly on green pine
trees? Or would ever air again seem so fresh
and warm and pure? We looked at each other
across the huge engine, and though we couldn't
hear ourselves speak, we waved our hands and
laughed with joy at being once moro out in the
open.

How to Improve Our Consular Service.
North american Reyietp

The Consular service should also be made
more homogeneous. As at present constituted
there is no general supervision over the diff
ferent consulates in the several countries. They
should all DO made subservient to the Consul
General, or even better, as in the English SER
vice, to the Minister accredited to the country
in which they are located. AS it is, some Con-
suls report to the Legation, some to the Consul
General, and others direct to the Department
of State. 1t is recognized that this custom
arose partly to procure quicker mail facilities,
but in many instances the postal service has
been improved lately, and the cable and tele-
graph can be used for emergencies. The Con-
suls- General could be dispensed with, or If re-
tanned should pay annual visits to the different
posts in their districts, duty at present only
permitted in some countries once year, and
by special permission on application to the
Department A novel feature might be SUBJ
stituted to increase the efficiency of the Con-
sular service in the institution of several SUI
perintendents whose duty it would be to visit
the various consulates and inform the Depart
ment in relation to their true state, such as the
proper location of the Office, the state of the
records the correctness Of accounts, as well as
to ferret out abuses and inquire into any charge
of misconduct, all of which can only be done
by personal inspection. Owing to their re-
moteness, Consuls are less under the eye of the
appointing power and the espionage Of the
public press than any class of public officials.
