An Isolated Church.

In the valley of Westdale Head, in
Cumberland, England, strange little
church nestles amid 4 group Of the
highest of Englands mountains. 1t is
over 400 years old and has two win
dows, and the pulpit is lighted by
pane Of glass having been inserted in
a hole in the roof above it. There are
only eight pews, of which seldom more
than two are used. The little bell,
hanging loose in the open belfry, may
on stormy nights be heard mingling
its tones with the wind and thunder.
But for the belfry it would hardly be
known to be church. This little
gray edifce Is described as the most
isolated church throughout the whole
Of England.
Eighty-eight Degrees ReIoyv Zero.
The coolest known spot on the earth's
surface Is on the eastern slope, a shelly
ing mountain that runs down to near
the waters edge on the eastern bank
OF the Lena river, in northeast Siberia.
The spot ia question is nine and q
quarter miles from Serkerchoof, about
latitude OF north and longitude 1874
east The minimum temperature of
The place is SO degrees below zero. 1t
Is place of almost perpetual calm. In
the mountains near by, where windy
weather is the rule, it is not nearly so
cold.

A Novel instrument of Death.

According to tradition, Kenith, the
legendary king of Scotland, was al
lured to his death in a most novel
manner ZENITH had slain son and
brother of Fennella, who to be
avenged ordered Wiltus, famous sill
versmith, to construct death dealing
statue Of silver.
In it's right hand the statue held
basin and in the left hand an apple Of
pure gold, both set with diamonds and
other precious stones.
To touch the apple was to defy death,
it being so arranged that any one guilty
Of such vandalism would be immediate
ly riddled by poisoned arrows shot
from openings in the body Of the statue.
ZENITH was invited to inspect the
wonder, and, as Fennella had hoped,
he tried to pluck the precious imitation
fruit. When his hand touched the ap-
pie he was wounded by the arrows and
died where he fell.

TRICKS OF THE BRAIN.
Experiences which Physiological
Theories Fail to Explain.

An uncle of mine with whom | was
walking in q part of Yorkshire near
Skipton, where neither of US had ever
been before, stopped suddenly to say,
"When we turn that corner you will
see on the right an EliZabethan house
partly surrounded by trees, with lake
or large pond showing through them,
and in the middle of the water Il little
artificial island"
When we turned the corner we saw
precisely what he had described, and
yet he had never seen or heard or read
of the place. The dual brain theory
fails here, since neither lobe of the
brain had received an impression of
the place before we turned the corner.
Jean Jacques Rousseau in his Con
fessions' says he foresaw in q reverie
while taking a solitary walk all the
incidents,of the happiest day of his life
as they occurred eight years later:
II saw myself, as in an ecstasy,
transported into that happy time and
occasion, where my heart, possessing
all the happiness possible, enjoyed 1t
with inexpressible raptures, without
thinking Of anything sensual. l do not
remember being ever thrown into the
future with more force or an Illusion
so complete as that which l then ex-
perienced. What struck me most in
the recollection of that reverie, now
that it has been realized, is to have
found objects so exactly as ! had pic
tured them. If ever the dream of
man awake had the air of prophetic
vision that was assuredly SUCH"
1t is, 1 think, noteworthy that in all
clairvoyant cases of this kind the body
is through overwork or i'll health or
fasting or congenitally in the subdued
state to which the Indian mystic and
miracle monger reduces his own by
maceration. 1t was so with Scott and
Rousseau, and with William Hone
when he had the following experience
recorded in his memoir. When worn
out with overwork lie was shown into
certain room in certain part OF
London where be had never been be-
fore.

eisMARcKs BITTERNESS.
The Way the Prince spoke of His
Forced Resignation.


Henry Willard, writing in the Cen
tury of a visit TO Bismarck, says:
After describing his estate the prince
began speaking English-"so that that
fellow" pointing to the coachman,
may not understand us'-and sur
prlsed me by his fiuency, his command
of idiomatic expressions and his very
slight accent. lie began with these
words. "Since l have been kicked out
of Office" which so astonished me
that begged pardon for interrupting
him and said, "Prince, that is an
Americanism: where did you pick IT
up?" He answered that he did not re-
member where, but the expression ht-
ted his case exactly, for the manner OF
his dismissal was but the equivalent
of an application of the toe of a boot.
He then proceeded to tell the story Of
his forced resignation.
Such q rapid flow of keen wit, of
cutting sarcasm and bitter denuncia-
ton as followed for half an hour | had
never heard before and never heard
again. 1t was strange mixture or
eloquence and loquaciousness. Bis
marck's voice seemed not as deep and
strong as his stature led one to expect,
but it had pleasant sound. \ most in
tense sense of the wrong and ingrau-
tude he claimed to have suffered made
itself manifest. AS an example OF his
unjust treatment he recounted what
he had done to unity the nation and TO
aggrandize the HohenZollern dynasty.
There was not only an unhesitating
assertion of his own deserts as the
founder of the German empire, but an
almost sneering and even contemptu-
Gus depreciation of other performers
in the historic drama of his time, in
cluding even the old Emperor William,
the unfortunate Emperor Frederick
and the Expresses Augusta and Fred
erick. His language became perfect
diatribe when he referred to the en-
peror and some of his ministers, whom
he held responsible for his removal.
His expressions regarding them were
not only amazing but embarrassing to
me, as l had close social relations
with many of the ministerial objects
of his scorn. "Some of those rogues l
picked out of the very gutter" he once
said. Fortunately he did not stop for
any word of assent, but went right on
until his pent up wrath was expended.
As he remarked when it was all spent:
'It was quite a relief to me to have
this opportunity to speak without re-
straint to a gentleman who, l am sure,
will honor my confidence"
Even were it not for this restriction
some of the sayings 1 heard and noted
down at the time were so extraordinary
that If they were repeated their reality
would probably be doubted, and GER
tainly the leze majesty they involved
would render it unsafe for me to ven-
ture again on German soil.

We have often heard is said "one
man cant elect another to office
but i has been our obse rvation IN a
number Of instances that one man
has defeated another. Something
has occurred, we don't know exactly
what, that has set quite a number
OF men after Judge Graves. We
some how suspect il is his stand
against Mayor Reed and his Gold
Standard procliyities. Anyhow they
are after him and they are men too
who control more votes than their
own. And their Democracy can't
be questioned either. Some of 'em
are young in the cause but others
''voted 'er straight before the
Judge was born. They all say their
friends mustn't be damned, even
by Judges on the bench, without
AUST And they propose to resent
Unjust imputations and insinuaIions
in a way that will do the most good
to cut the wings of the would be

ocratie vote of Bates county around

One word more. The Count y
Court has for several years levied
up to the limit Of the constitution;
aud this year their order is to tax
10 cents instead Of IS cents for
county purposes - thus robbing
the townships OF 5 cents they have
been enabled TO levy for themselves
heretofore; so that while in the
past the townships could levy 80
cents upon themselves for their
own uses. this year they can only
levy IS cents. This fact alone Is
convincing proof that the Court
knew last May when they made
the order that the county was in a
hole, and that they must raise
more county revenue TO keep the
machine running.
The thing to do is to elect men
who will not get "too big for their
britehes," The Sth dav Of No.
vember is the day to do it.

This property belonged to a poor
person and was all he had. And
in a majority of instances the delin-
quent tax payer who suffers from
this legalized robbery is a poor
person. The officers who are
sworn to execute the law are not to
blame but the party that makes such
laws is to blame and the method of
collecting delinquent taxes should
be changed. In this case the lcoun-
ty and state got the tax but the writ
er has stood when the sales were go
ing on and heard the officer bid
just enough to secure the costs and
then let the property go for a posi-
BILE few cents OF taxes and the state
and county loses the rest. The de-
linquent tax is seldom all paid even
with such a process. When the
people go to the polls on November
9Th to vote let them think Of the
process Of delinquent tax collections
aud vote just one time in favor Of
the poor on this question, No re-
publican state in the Union has such
a method Of collecting delinquen,
taxes.

This is a serious matter, and dem.
ocrats who pay taxes as well as
other people who do not run dem
cratic organs are interested IN get
ting the facts whatever they be.
The reader will notice that in
their August statement they show
S52I.34 balance in the salary fund
on Aug. I in spite Of the clerks
statement 10 the court that there
was only $3.50 in that fand on
May I. No considerable tax
money comes in between May 1
and Aug /. How then can this
be sof Well, what they say is
this: That warrants that had
been drawn against the salary fund
were on August still outstand-
ing and hence their books showed
still to the good. We ex-
pect this was and is true; but il
does not relieve against the fact
that there was only $3.50 in the
fund on May 1.
Again take the contingent fund,
the biggest fund in the county.
On May Ist. the clerk informed
the court that it was then over
drawn SS24.46. Rut on August
1, three months later, the clerk
shows a balance in that i1nd Of
SI646.S4. Now it is a fact that
the court allowed many bills at the
May term payable out Of this fund
and all warrants drawn against
this fund admittedly went to pro-
test. Why holds these warrants
now9
1 understand very well that in
the Summer and Autumn there is
less money in these funds than al
ter the taxes begin TO come in in
November. But there must be
extravagsnee somewhere II a sur

That is the wav our finances
stood the ist day of last May.

as the August statement. That

Since August Ist. the salary and
contingent funds have been largely
oyerdrawn and are entirely exhaust
ed. Warrants drawn on either OF
these funds are protested and IN
order to get them cashed. they are
discounted at the Banks, or else
where.
So far as we can learn at this
time there is yet a little money in
the Bridge, Pauper, Election and
Jury, and Court House funds. We
could not get the exact condition Of
these funds; but the figures sud
facts show that the county is prac.
tically bankrupt, aud will continue
to be until the fall taxes come in.
Starting with a surplus on hand a
little owe five years ago, and in
spite Of the enormous coll
leeted as shown by the foregoing

fiscal affairs by the press Of the
county at this time would be profit
able; and we hope our Democratic
contemporaries may not ignore
their own official figures, OF try 10

to explain.
The foregoing is from the Bates
