late President Kimball; and on the box
used as table was a very large loaf
of bread. She went to thank Brother
Kimball for his great kindness but he
made no sign that he placed the bread
there.
She crossed the Plains in 1889. settled
in Tooele, and remained there during

The Philosophy Of Bacon.

Stay little, that we may make an
end the sooner.
Time is the measure Of business as
money is OF wares.
They that reverence too much old
times are but scorn TO the new.
To choose time Ia to save time, and
an unreasonable motion is but beating
the air.
Divide with reason between self
love and society. and be 80 true to thy
self, as thou be not fasle to others
Little do men perceive what solitude
is, and how far II extendeth. For a
crowd is not company; and faces are
but a gallery of pictures; and talk II
but thinking cymbal where there is
no love.
No receipt openeth the heart, but n
true friend, to whom you may impart
srlefs, joys, fears. hopes, suspicious,
counsels and whatsoever lieth upon the
heart to Cypress it, in a kind of civil
shrift or confession.

His cheeks were pallld and his lips

his whole body twitched nervously as

The Only Certainty.

There Is n concerted effort to dissuade
| Republicans from voting for Gen. TRACY
by representing that he has no chanc Of
| election. Newspapers are engaged in it
and a pool has been made up for bets with
heavy odds against him. There has even
been some flourish of betting on Low
against Gen. TRACY.
Nothing, however, is moro manifest, as
our correspondent, Manhattan" elsewhere
declares, than that the election of Gen.
TRACY is as certain as the coming of cleo.
ton day il the great mass of his party
stands by him. There is nothing else GER
tain in this campaign. The Republicans
can win easily. Their normal party vote
is enough of itself to assure to them the
advantage of the control of the
Greater New York during the next four
years; and every citizen who breads Bryan
ism, carried to an even worse extreme than
last year, will assist them with his vote,
whatever his party.
The Low enterprise is simply an effort to
disrupt the Republican party at n time
when every conservative interest in this
community, more especially, and generally
in this Union, requires impcratively that
it should be kept in its integrity. 1t affords
the only means of smashing the Organism
which now makes the Democratic party
dangerous to property and society. Sound
and true Democrats must sustain the Re-
publican party if they would whip their
own party into submission to sanity.
The George movement is manifestly of
great proportions. The most casual exam
~ination proves hat its strength is alarm
ing, and it could not rise to any large i'm
p%ortance without spelling utterly the
chances of VAN WICK.
How many votes will VAN WICK have in
this town, even if GEORGE takes from him
no more than the 6 5000 votes he got in
1SS62 Does GEORGES canvass indicate
that he is dropping behind or going ahead ?
ward movement which he and his associate,
Mr.. DAYTON are makingi
The only certainty of the campaign is that
the Republican strength can easily elect
Gen. TRACY, and the reasonable assunp-
tion is that the Republicans are not fools
enough to throw away a sure victory when
the day of election comes.
What would be the effect on New York
of the election of Gen. TRKCY2 Every in
telligent man of every party knows that it
would at once give buoyancy to every mar
ket and raise the reputation Of New York
throughout the world. 1t would mean
that this community is to be trusted as
stable and not tickle in it's adherence to
sound principles of finance and government.
