dressed for her journey, she looked

Dell, driving down through the shady
roads Of the way to Groveland, with

his shoulders stopped forward as ono

OF the train at the crossing and stopped
his horses until the last rumble of the
wheels had ceased. Then he touched his
horses with the whip and went on. For
the first time the birds sang unnoticed

did he hear the tinEle of the brook as

Right and WrOnred.

The New Castle News says:-One of the
Democratic registrars of this Hundred has
been severely critizsd by some of his party
on account Of not being partisan enough,
!. D., because he kept within the law of the
State laid down for the guidance of those
who hold the Office he filled.
1t Is well enough and proper to call any
one to task who Is derel.o5 in his duty but
it is hardly 'just and right" to sit In judg-
mont upon those who do their duty, and
abide by tho law.
This man WAS condemned for the simple
reason that he did not turn down every
man possible and put tho would. be voter
to the trouble Of taking his case before the
Judge who sits to hear appeals Of this
kind.
The registrar Is a man who Ia we'll versed
In the election laws and we'll knew what
was required Of him by TINT law, and had
the courage to do his duty without fear or
favor.
To be criticised for doing right IL the
best SORT OF compliment Sand one a., man.
should BIO proud Of, and 1t Is safe to say,
that The same Kind of complaint could not
truthfully be said Of the fault flnders.
A Democratic registrar who puts duty
before dirty politics Is indeed "rara avis"
in this section of the United States and it
would be we'll 1t the Governor Of this stute
should In the appointment Of future regis
trars take for his motto: "Detur dignis.
simo."

Congressman elect John H. Hoffecksr
has had already innumerable applications
for the position of private Secretary but as

There will be no trouble In securing

Is one thing certain and that ID that only
one individual can secure the coveted posi-

pointed. The man that secures the birth
will have TO be an exceptionally fine nan

Consumers of the Weed.

In France the consumption of to-
bacco in the year 1880 was 300 grams,
or about three-fifths of a pound per
head. 1t has now increased threefold,
making the annual amount consumed
at the present time 3S,0OO,OOO kilo-
grams, or more than S0,0000OO pounds,
of which about 100000 pounds are
consumed in the form of snuff.
Notwithstanding these considerable
figures the Frenchman is still classed
with the moderate users of the weed,
as in Holland the amount annually
consumed is no less than three kilo-
grams, or more than six pounds, for
each inhabitant. In Austria and Ger
many about one kilogram is used per
head, while the Englishman consumes
somewhat less.
Natives of Switzerland have the rep
utation of being immoderate smokers,
but statistics show that they use less
tobacco than Englshmen or French
men,
