express themselves on their choice
for delegate to congress. The
candidates voted upon were Col.
Thos. Marcum, free silver demo-

paid him, and informing them Of
his intention to make an effort for
recognition upon the floor Of con-

address Is quite lengthy. touching
mainly upon the questions at issue
in the late campaign. Among
other things he says:

Editor UNION:
A terrific lightning, thunder
and rain storm visited this place
today, and the lightning struck a
giant tree standing about a block
north of the saw mill and went
from top tn bottom, hurting one
piece that weighed not less than
eighty pounds dis lance of
twenty-six yards. A small frag-
ment was pitched up about forty
eight yards away from the stump.
The. crevice made in the tree
wound spirally around the tree
once and half, and the remain
ing portion of the tree was shat
tered and blackened and SCARED
with horrizontol abrazion, plainly
showing the power of the voltic
current.
The rain and hail descended in
torrents throughout the afternoon
and night; and flash after fash of
lightning was followed by heavy
peals of thunder, which, as they
rolled through the sky and rever-
berated from hill to hill, made the
scene appear perfect pandemo-
MUM. During the storm many of

The rainy season has begun aud
the grass is growing beautifully;

hANDCART EXPERIENCE.

In travelling up the valley of the
Platte, for hundreds of miles, in
those days, there was one very
peculiar feature that I never saw
anywhere else to the same extent
and we were oftentimes deceived
by it. Of course it was caused by
the clearness of the atmosphere.
The popularity was that objects
many miles away would appear to
be very near by. On account of
the river having many long turns,
the road would be 5 to 10 miles
from the river, and sometimes
even more, and when the road was
first laid out, cut offs were resorted
to in every instance possible
through the Platte Valley, so that
the road was shorter that the river,
and we would camp at a bend in
the river that came near the road
and we could look straight across
to the next bend with it's timber
and the captain would say 1--WE
camp tonight at that point yonder,
and it really looked as though it
was not more than 4 or 5 miles
distant, but, 10! we would travel
all day, going from 90 to 30 miles
before we would reach the point
that we saw in the morning, which
looked so near by. Even at noon,
we could look toward the river and
it would seem so close that some
would start to go and get some
water to use, but if they continued
on, they would see the train start
and they would have to take cut
across to catch the train.
The river ran east and west and
we were travelling on the north
side of it, and as we are now
camped on the banks of the Platte,
about 400 miles Oh our journey,
let us take look at our condition.
We left Florence with 70 pounds
of -four for each adult. It was
put up in sacks of 100 pounds
each, and all the &C carts had one
of the sacks in it, and all the carts
that had four adults to pull it,
which was about half of them, had
two sacks put into them, thus 80
sacks of -four were put into the
carts at the start, and about the
some amount was placed in the
wagons, and all the -four that was
in the wagons had been used and
that which was in the carts had
been taken out and placed into
the wagons and about half of that
had been used, at this time, so
that we have about one fourth of
our flour on hand and have onlv
travelled 400 out of 1000 miles of
our journey. Knowing thistle be the
case, l knew we were in critical

He'd make the gold bugs think it

To call ten cents an honest dime
And ten dimes ring the Silver

Go join the Silver Democrats;
Down on your knees, take off your

Light Iron Castings.

Light iron castings are at the present
day made in much larger quantities
than any one who has never investigated
the subject would imagine. Many years
ago articles cast Of iron, and of fragile
and ornamental character, known as
Berlin jewelry," were in extensive
use, and it was then thought almost i'm
possible that these should be simple iron
castings. At present, however, even
more intricate articles are cast Of iron,
but instead Of being simply Of an orna-
mental character they serve variety of
directly useful purposes, comprising. as
they do, scissors and shear blanks, clock
bells, clock and door keys, harness buc-
kles and a multitude Of others, not on,
Of which will weigh 10 ounces and
many weighing less than one ounce. So
minute are some Of these castings that
the molding sand must be sifted in order
to discover all the results Of days cast
ing. The finish applied to some Of these
articles, moreover, is such that one
would hardly suppose them to be cast
ings at all, emery wheel and tumbling
barrel work having completely disguised
their character. Cassier's Magazine.

An Auction Experience.

Not long ago there was a sale in
Washington of the effects of the Histo-
rian Bancroft. One of the ladies in
ton ideals and associations wanted a
desk which had been the historian IS for
the associations surrounding it. She is
wealthy and was determined to have
that desk if money could get it. Intrin-
sically it was worth very little, but that
was no reason why she would not bid
high on the desk. The day Of the sale
she was too i'll to go, and so she sent
her daughter, with instructions to bring
home the desk, and told her to bid as
high as 500 for it. The daughter went
early to the sale, secured seat near the
coveted desk and waited until it was
put up for sale. Then she began to bid
for it along with several others. When
the price reached about $15, everybody
dropped out except the young lady and
some one over near the door. Every
time the lady bid there was an advance
from the unknown bidder until the price
had mounted up to 500.
Knowing that her mother wanted the
desk. but fearing that some one was
bidding against her for the sake Of get
ting more money-a sort of straw bid
der, as it were-she advanced the bid
two or three times while she was en-
deavoring to move around to the door
to see who her unknown competitor
was. The price had reached $115, the
last bid being made by the unknown
just as the young lady reached the spot.
Much to her surprise she found her
mother to be her rival. The elder lady
feared her daughter would not secure
the desk and came herself to purchase
it, and here these two had been bidding
against each other all the time. It is
needless to add that the family got the
desk.-Washington Star.

to pieces, you heard what poor Moriarty
really thought Of Mrs. Reiver, for he
raved about her and his own fall for the
most part. though he raveled some P.
W. D. accounts into the same skein Of
thought He talked, and talked and
talked in low, dry whisper to himself,
and there was no stopping him. He
seemed to know that there was some
thing wrong, and twice tried to pull
himself together and confer nationally
with the doctor. but his mind ran out
Of control at once, and he fell back to a
whisper and the story Of his troubles. 1t
is terrible to hear big man babbling
like child Of all that q man usually
locks up and puts away in the deep of
his heart. Moriarty read out his very
soul for the benefit Of any one who was
in the room between 0:30 that night
and 2 40 next morning.
From what he So one gathered how
immense an influence Mrs. Reiver held
over him, and how thoroughly he felt
for his own lapse His whisperings can
not, of course, be put down here, but
they were very instructive as showing
the errors Of his estimates.
When the trouble was over, and his
few acquaintances were plying him for
the bad attack of jungle fever that had
SO pulled him down, Moriarty swore
big oath to himself and went abroad
again with Mrs. Reiver till the end Of
the season, adoring her in quiet and
deferential way as an angel from heav-
en-. Later on he took to riding-not
hacking, but honest riding-which was
good proof that he was improving, and
you could slam doors behind him with
out his jumping to his feet with gasp.
That, again, was hopeful
How he kept his oath. and what 1t
cost him in the beginning, nobody
knows. He certainly managed to COM
pass the hardest thing that man who
has drunk heavily can do. He took his
peg and wine at dinner, but he never
drank alone, and never let what he
drank have the least hold on him.
Once he told bosom friend the story
Of his great trouble, and how the Sin
fluence Of pure, honest woman and an
angel as we'll" had saved him. When
the man-startled at anything good be-
ing laid to Mrs. Reiver's door-laughed,
it cost him Moriarty s friendship. MORT
arty, who is married now to woman
ten thousand times better than Mrs.
Reiver-a woman who believes that
there is no man on earth as good and
clever as her husband-will 60 down to
his grave vowing and protesting that
Mrs. Reiver saved him from ruin in
both worlds.
That she knew anything of Moriarty's
weakness nobody believed for moment.
That she would have cut him dead,
thrown him over and acquainted all her
friends with her discovery, if she had
known Of it, nobody who knew her
doubted for an instant.
Moriarty thought her something she
never was, and in that belief saved him
self, which was just as good as though
she had been everything that he had i'm
agined.
But the question is, What claim will
Mrs. Reiver have to the credit.of Mort
arty s salvation when her day Of reckon
ing comes?-Rudyard Kipling.
