There is a strong feeling among the
leading citizens of this county that
two-term precedent should be establish
ed in the case OF the Prothonotary and
Register and Recorder. They are both
Offices in which the experience of the
incumbent is valuable to the people, and
when competent and genial men are
selected to fiji these offices one term,
and no just complaint can be entered
against them, it would seem to be the
part Of wisdom as we'll as OF justice to
concede them a second term.-Punxsu-
tawney Spirit.

There are many young men to-day,
and Reynoldsville has her share of
them, who seem to be impressed with
the thought that they will ''sow wild
oats" in their young days and bye and
bye win get married and settle down in
life. This is sad mistake. Edward
W. Box, in writing on this subject.
says: So far as young man sowing
his wild OATS is concerned, to consider
the last query first, it has always
seemed pity to me that the man who
framed that sentence didn't die before
he constructed it, From the way some
people talk one would imagine that
every man had instilled into him at his
birth q certain amount OF deviltry
which he must get rid OF before
he can become man OF honor
Now, what is called Sowing
wild oats" is nothing more nor
less than self-degradation to any
young man. 1t doesn't make man one
particle more Of a man because he has
passed through siege OF riotous living
and indiscretion when he was nineteen
or twenty; it.makes him just 80 much
less OF a man. 1t dwarfs his views OF
life far more than 1t broadens them.
And he realizes this afterward. And
he doesn't know one iota more Of "life," I"
except certain phase Of 1t, which, II

In the Harenl.

From the Philadelphia Times
The modern Turk has, in a quiet way,
grown prcdigiously fond of photography,
said lady who acts as the manageress of
one of the greatest Photographic establish
ments in London. l was recently in the
employment of a relation at CONSTANT
nople, and had the honor of photograph
ing some fifty of the wives and daughters
of the present sultan. These ladies' are
very ordinary ones. indeed. for the most
part, to what your imagination might pic
ture. and all of them are dressed in the
latest Partisan fashions. that is, for pho
tographic purposes. All the same, one or
two of the sultan's daughters are very
beautiful girls, and have been taught and
educ ated by Miss Mumford and other En-
glsh goverresses. They showed the most
childish delight in being photographed
I may say here that photography is act
ing as social force in Turkey, for young
man who wishes to take TO himself a wife
need no longer trust absolutely to the re-
port of his female friends alone, as he once
had to do, for the photograph of the lady is
now shown to him. And the women, too,
can now, without violating the strict Tur-
ksh law in such matters, send their photo
graphs about III order to create an impress
sion.

TEN DAYS IN A TREE.
With Nothing hut Chinese Medicines

With Nothing hut Chinese Medicines
and n Pair of Boots to Eat.
From the Oroville Mercury.
A Chinese miner, who, with a companion,
was lost In the snow amid the rugged
mountains of Plumas county, has been
found, nearer dead than alive. For ten
days he lived in hollow tree, with moth
ing to eat but some Chinese medicine and
scraps of leather cut from his boots. When
rescued by party of white miners his
feet. from which he had cut the boots for
food. were terribly frozen. and he was so
weak he could hardly move. The search
ers could find no trace Of his companion,
who Is certain to have persisted.
There are a large number of Chinese
mining at Browns HILL and February %
two of the Eumber left the camp to go to
La Porte, distance of sixteen miles, to
procure some Chinese medicine, for the
use of the members of the camp. The
weather was good, and the two Chinese
proceeded safely over the snow to La
Porte, procured the medicine, stayed over
night and started back the next morning
During their trip back on the 26th snow
storm came up and the Chinese became
bewiidered and hopelessly lost in the
rough, mountainous country. They each
had different ideas as to which direction to
take, ana Hnally QlarreieQ ana separated.
One of them had not gone far before he
found a hollow tree, wherein he was some
what sheltered from the storm. He had
matches with him and built a small fire,
and, crouching over that, he lived for ten
days. When their companions did not re-
turn to Browns Hill the Chinese became
alarmed and went to La Porte where they
sscertained that they had been there and
started back. Then the white men about
Cascade and Lumpkin were notified and
search parties went out.
The other day John Ktrick. while search
ing with a companion for the lost man,
noticed smoke down in a canon. He went
down there, and in a tree found the poor
Chinese nearly dead. Leaving him there,
Mr.. kitrlck went for help, and the unfor-
tunate man was taken to the settlement
on a sled.
His experience during those ten days had
been fearful. AS the pangs of hunger came
upon him he took off his boots, parched
them over the fire. and ate them and drank
the medicine. When he found his boots
were all gone and his feet frozen. and he
was so weak he could not stand, he had
given up all hope. So grateful was he
that when camp was reached he gave his
rescuers $50 in gold dust, all that he had.
He will recover.

Man Was Taken Seriously.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Samuel P Schuckers is dead at Wooster.
Ohio, aged ffty-eight years. He was a
brother of ]. w. Schuckers, private secre-
tary Of Salmon P. Chase, and brother-in-
law of John H. Oberly, ex-civil service
commissioner. An interesting incident is
recalled by Schuckers' death which has
never found its way in the newspapers.
The incident occurred number of years
ago, and during the time of the sale Of
the Lake Shore railroad at Cleveland, Ohio.
1t happened that Schuckers and John Nc
Sweeney, the great criminal lawyer, met
at the sale. insolvency had but short
time before made great hit by his politi-
cal speeches at Cleveland and Philadelphia,
and was attracting attention all over the
country. At this particular time he was
trying a case at Cleveland. Young Schuck-
ers was in these days a veritable dude
and very sprucy.
He went to Cleveland to have a time, as
he always left Wooster to celebrate, and
was having a good glorious time on this
particular occasion. He was small and
Wiry in stature and always carried a silk
umbrella. 1t happened that he met Nc
Sweeney in the rotunda just he had
finished an argument. and while the sale
of the Lake Shore railroad was going on.
They stopped for moment at the edge
of the excited crowd bidding in the road.
There We're a number of syndicates repre-
sented-foreign, Vanderbilts Goulds and
others The bidding had reached 81. 100000.
In spirit of devilishness young Schuck-
ers bid $4,000 In a moment rush
was made toward the new bidder-and
demand was made to know what syndicate
he represented. His only reply was, with
wave Of his silk umbrella, GO away
from me-" The excited representatives OF
the other syndicates asked for a recess.
Mhch was granted, and in twenty minutes
they came back. when the bid was raised
to $4,000,000 and sold.
Mr. Schuckers' sprucy appearance and
being in company with the great criminal
lawyer had led them to believe he repre-
scented some secret syndicate, who were
trying to gain possession of the valuable
railroad property.
