WHEELER's WATER DRAWER-Has been
tested by thousands and is approved by the
public at large as being the only JFater
Draqer of merit in use. The tests Of the
many thousands in use have proved it to be
the only one that can be used successfully in
cold weather, as its working cannot be affect
ed by freezing. While other parties assuming
WhoeleF's trade mark "Water Drawer" and
claiming their manufacture to be equal, have
endeavored to make the public believe they
were manufacturing extensively for the pur-
pose of efeoting sales OF County Rights, and
to palm off on the people articles that have
been rendered useless by freezing, and have
no merit or utility, as the few in use have
proved worthless, and the making of the
same suspended. Atthe same time so trivial
is their claim, the title to name patent is
hardly warranted. Parties interested and
about to purchase County Rights can easily
ascertain by referring to claim as to what they
are purchasing; also would do well before
parting with their money to notice what is
used tomake up the Rater Drqoer they are
about to purchase, that is claimed under
Wheeler's Patent, and by other parties, for
which a patent fee will be collected Of all par
ties using them. If desired, ordinary small
chain, which can be had at any store, can be
used on Wheeler's Water Drawer, but will
be more expensive than rope, and if not
galvanized, be very Objectionable, and for
deep wells not practicable.

every free government an unfair election is
no election at all."-DOugIas' Springfield
Speech.


The willy Senator evidently knows how
to make a distinction without a differ
ence between an election and a nomina-
ton, for it is notorious fact that the NOM
ination made at Baltimore, which he with
such alacrity accepted, was the result of the
admission of bogus delegates from several
Southern States without the votes of which
he stood just about as much chance of a
nomination, as he now has of an election.

many Of the ladies intend decorating the

as was never before seen in any city in our
State-one that will impress our visitors
favorably. The only way it is to be done
is, for all classes to enter into the spirit of
the occasion with enthusiasm. None are so
poor that they cannot spend something in
commemoration of the day that gave us
freedom. Start out Young America, put
our National Flag in their hands, and pat

The wife was forced to confess that the symp-

liable to these attacks she didn't think much

She was conscious that the means and COM

AN ENTRANcED WOMAN SPEAKs.-Miss Num-
son has been lecturing atNevada in the trance
state on man as animaland spirit, and afforded
Bro. Waite an opportunity for writing very
bold and philosophical article. Speaking of
her the Journal says, that "for the novelty
of the doctrines, clear, lucid manner in
which they were expressed, and the wonder
ful adaptation of language to the subject"
the lectures were unsurpassed. In another
place the Journal remarks as follows:


Any event which shall provoke discussion
is not without benefit to the human mind.
The novelty of the entertainment afforded
by Miss Munson attracts an audience, induces
thought and must rebound to the advantage
of the public, whatever may be said of the
doctrines advanced or the manner in which
they are taught. The bigoted and intolerant
will listen to no new creed, nor countenanco
anything out of the old beaten track in which
their fathers started them on the journey of
life. The man of liberalized ideas will pro-
nounce nothing a humbug which comes

The TENURE OF CLAIMS IN SiLvERLAND.-
Many persons who were in California early
in l849 will remember an anecdote OF Cor.
Mason, which was then current, to this ef-
feet: Some speculator had taken up attract
of mining ground, been dispossessed OF it
by actual workers, and went to the Governor
to ascertain what must be done to perfect
his title and recover the ground. To his in
quiry how much he could claim and how
long, the sturdy official responded blufly--
"The length of your pick handle, as long as
you can hold it." We are told that many
claims in the silver regions are held in
similar manner, and the owners absence is
the signal for Jumpers to seize upon bis
lead and hold it by the law of might. To
prevent jumping, interests have sometimes
been given to fighting characters, the fame
of whose prowess was calculated to inspire
a wholesome respect. One instance of jump
ing we are reliably told of, in which the
claim was held by the "parties of the second
part" by means of forti6cation of rocks
thrown up for the purpose, and behind
which they intrenched themselves with fire.

their prior rights are said to be citizens OF

How Strange.

You thoughtless of me, and l careless of you
Our pet names growing rusty with nothing to do
Loves bright web unraveled, and rust and worn

And life's loom left empty--ah hun
Ah me,
How strange it will be-


How strange it will be when the witchery goes,


Which makes me seem lovely to day;


When your thought of me looses it's couzeur de
When every day serves some new fault to disclose
When you fud have odd eyes and every day nose
And wonder you could for moment suppose

All, me,
How strsnge it will be


How strange it will be, love-how strange when we
meet
With just chill touch of the hand!


When my pulses no longer delightedly beat


At the thought of your coming, the sound of your
feet;


When l watch not your going, far down the long
street


When your dear loving voice, now so thringly
sweet,
Grows harsh in reproach or command
Ah me,
How strange it will be!


How strange it will be, when we willingly stay,
Divided the dreary day through
Or, getting remotely apart as we may,


Sit chilly and silent with nothing to say,


Or coldy converse on the news of the day


In wearsome, old married folks sort of way;
shrink from the picture-dont you?
All, me,
How strange it will be!
Dear love if our hearts do grow torpid and old,
As SO many others have done


If we let our love perish with hunger and cold


If we dim all life's diamonds and tarnish it's gold

Let us first sketch the story of the Lions life
beginning with his marriage which takes
place towards the end of January. He has first
to seek his wife but as the males are more a.
bundant than the females, who are often cut off
in infancy, it is not rare to find a young lady
pestered by the addresses of three OF four gal
lants, who quarrel with the acerbity of Jealous
lovers. 1t one of them does not succeed in dis
ablng or driving away the other Madam, i'm
patient and dissatisfied, leads them into the
presence of an old lion whose roars she has ap-
precated at distance. The lovers fly at him
with the temerity of youth and exasperation-


The old fellow receives them with calm assur-
rance, breaks the neck of the first with his ter
rlble jaws, smashes the leg Of the second, and
tears out the eye of the third. No sooner is the
day won ard the field clear than the lion tosses
his name in the air as he roars, and then crouch
es by the side of the lady, who, as reward for
his courage, icks his wounds ca-essingly.
When two adult lions are the rivals, the en-.
counter is more serious. An Arab, perched in
tree one night, saw q lioness followed by a
tawny lion with full grown name; she lay down
at the foot of the tree, the lion stopped on his
path and seemed to listen. The Arab then
heard the distant growing of a lion, which was


instantly replied IT, by the lioness under the tree.
This made her husband roar furiously. The
distant lion was heard approaching, and as he
came nearer, the lioness roared louder, which
seemed to agitate her husband, for he marched
towards her as if to force her to be silent, and
then sprang bae,; to bis old post, roaring def
ance at his dstant rival. This continued for a.
bout an hour, when black lion made his ap-
pearance on the plain. The lioness arose as if
to go towards him; but her husband guessing
her intention, bounded towards his rival. The
two crouched aud sprang uron each other, roll
ing on the grass in the embrace of death.
Their bones cracked, their flesh was torn,
their cries of rage and agony rent the air, and
all this time the lioness crouched and wagged
her tail slowly in sign of satisfaction. When


the combat ended, and both warriors were
stretched on the plain, she arose, smelt them,
satisfied herself that they were dead, and trot-
ted off quite regardless of the uncomplimentary
epitaph.


This, Gerard tells us, is an example of the
conjugal fidelity of my lady; whereas the lion
never quits his wife unless forced, and is quite
pattern of conjugal attentions Westmainster

HYDRopHoBIA IN DoGs-The symptoms are

he generally turns over the vessel containing the

Of thirst is clear sign of the absence of this
disease; but this opinion is so entirely in oppo.
sition to the careful accounts given by all those
who have witnessed the disease, when it bad
nnquestioDably been communicated to man or
some of the lower animals, that no reliance
ought to be placed upon it, especially where so
important a stake is involved. Mr.. Youatt wit
messed more cases OF the rabies than, perhaps, a.
