HONE APFECTIoNs.--The heart hath memories
that never die. The rough rubs oil the
word-the cold, unfeelng selfish world, cannot
oblterate them. No difference how we may be
tossed about lite's turbld and tempestuous stream
these memories still live with us, aud oftentimes
steal in upon our sadder moments, producing
the most pleasing emotions. They are memories
of home-eary home Dear, hallowed spot
What magic in the sound Aud as our mind
wanders far back over the misty past how many
tender "reminiscences OF that early home come
crowdng upon us There is the old tree under
which the light hearted schoOl-boy swung in
many summer day yonder the river in which
he learned to swim there the home in which he
knew parents love aud parents protection.
Why, even the school house, with its dark old
walls, which in youthful days impressed him
with such awe, associated as they then were,


with thoughts OF ierule aud tasks comes back to
bring pleasant remembrances of the "far long
ago. There he learned TO feel some of his


best emotions aud there, perchance, he first


met the being who, by her love and tenderness
! in after life, mas made home for himself happier
even than that which his childhood knew.


Oh these are memories which linger around


the heart ever and anon dispensing JOY aud sun
shine athwart our checkered pathway
which the cares of the world can never obliter-
ate. Often in the busy whirl of life they pre-
|. sent themselves, aud we inVOluntarly sigh for
our boyhood's days, when Z" life seemed OF sum

ARTISAN WELL.-The long poles have been erected in the middle of the street, to aid in boring for water, but some week or ten days will elapse before the contractors can get the tubing, Would it not be '' WELL" for the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to submit the question to the people whether this "wELI" shall or shall not be placed in the Public Square in preference to the isolated position which has been selected; the peoples money Is to be used, and not private subscriptions to accomplish this enterprise.

 We give in another part of this weeks EN ou1RER-under the " County News"-an account I of the horrible death of an Irishman by the name of Garrety, in Woodbury on Thursday night last and also of the inquest held next day upon his body and the verdict of the Coroner jury there on rendered. The account comes to us from a reliable source, and from correspondent to whom we are indebted for many favors.

 And our readers will do we'll to look at the facts brought out upon the inquest, and, putting aside suspicion of foul play observe the horrible, the deadly, the damning effects of the murderous liquor, upon the body and the soul of this poor death-stricken lrishman. It appears from the evidence, that in company with another, the de- ceased procured at a store in the village quart and half pint of the villainous liquor, and that l after drinking three or four times around with his fellows, these two start forth for home. It is soon discovered by one of them, that they were in no condition to reach their houses and so while his companion falls to the ground, the other himself crawls to a neighboring barn, leav- ing his fellow in state even more helpless than himself.

 This man, by drunken instinct appears to have endeavored to rise, but unsuccessfully, and grop- ing about in the darkness of the night, over stones and fences, in some mysterious and unds- covered manner dislocated his neck and is found next morning dead.

 Again, from New Milford we learn that an- other Irishman was found in much the same cir cumstances,on the same night killed by the same Demon.

 We are not frenzied monomaniacs on the sub- Ject Of the total abolishment of liquor ;-indeed we are free to confess that we have not as yet witnessed any lasting influence or benefit from the so-called Maine law, as it now exists but in view of these wretched suicides and still more wretched nsurderers, who will not lift up. their hands to prevent if possible the recurrence of such fearful tragedies in the very midst of our peaceful villages? and what examples can be found more terribly luminous than these, in hold

between his wife and the negro.


He spoke to her about it, but she sue
ceeded in quieting bis suspicious for time
On Sunday night she arose from bed, leav

African. Strangely enough, they did moi
leave the county, or the town, even, only
going some five miles from the woman,

a moment upon its waves and sink into moth
ingness. Else why is it. that the glorious as
pirations, which leap like angles from the
temple of our heart, are forever wandering a.
bout unsatisfed? Why is it that the rainbow
and clouds come over us with beauty that
is not on earth, and then pass off and leave
us to muse upon their fadel loveliness?-
Why is it the stars who hold their festival a.
round the midnight throne, are set above the
grasp of our limited faculties, forever mock
ing us with their unapproachable glory7 And
finally why is it that bright forms of human


beauty are presented to our view, and then
taken from us, leaving the thousand streams
of our affections to flow back in Alpine tor
rent upon our hearts? We are born for a
higher destiny than that of earth, there is a
realm where the rainbow never fades; where
the stars will be spread before us, like islands
that slumber on the ocean; and where the be-
ms that pass before us like shadows, will stay

CAN 1T BE TRUE ?-We are told by several
persons just returned from Virginia City,
that the Indians at Pyramid Lake sent mes
senger with flag of truce to meet the armed
party of whites that went to attack them,
and that this messenger was ruthlessly shot
down without parley, whereupon fight en-
sued at once. If this is true-though we
cannot so beleve-the act was most das-
tardly and disgraceful. Killing the bearer
OF flag of truce is crime of damnable in
fanny, and one that has seldom been com
nitted by civilized people. History records
such cowardly barbarism only to hold it up
to execration. The perpetrator of it in this
instance, if it really was perpetrated, must
have been some irresponsible bully acting
upon reckless and heated impulse, and he
should have been instantly shot down by his
companions. Such an example would have
conciliated the Indians, and might have led
to peaceful termination of the meeting, in
stead of to such bloody one as swiftly fol-
lowed. If we could credit the tale, it would
nearly deprive us of sympathy for the VIC
Tins of the red mans vengeance. 1t is COM
mon talk throughout Nevada and Sierra
counties, and our only object in giving it

1t will be remembered that last winter,
when Seward made the conservative
speech in the Senate that lost him the
nomination at Chicago, all the simon pure
abolition journals denounced him for his
recreancy to those principles which he, in
common with themselves, had always pro-
fesscd Since his speech at Boston the
other day, however, in which he planted
himself fairly and squarely on tho ground
Of his ancient faith, and declared that
Lincoln was with him, they have all
united with one voice to welcome him
back. Here is what the Anti-Sarery
Standard the central organ of the aboli-
ton disunionists, says, in commenting
upon this speech:


"Tho medicine of defeat has evidently
had very salutary effect upon Senator
Seward. His backbone, that seemed for
time to he wavering under the pressure
Of political temptation, has acquired Its
former stiffness and strength, and his
voice, which lately mocked us with feeble
euphemisms, rings out again the old ap-
peal to the higher law and fresh sum
mons to the 'irrepressiblc conaibt.' We
will do him the justice to believe that he
now sees and laments the mistake he
made in his Senatorial speech, in discard
ing the form Of sound words that had
carried terror into the camp Of the slave
power, and couscnting, for once, in defer
ence to the pcrsussions of some Of his
political associates, to affect the attitude
and the language of false and hollow
conservatism. We are glad he has as
cended to his old position, bat we wish
he had the boldness to 60 up to still
higher platform, to repudiate every COM
promise with slavery, and to summon the
people Of the North to the formation OF
government free from compli icity with
its evils aud crimes" - .ffrI

The great precedent which tho re.
publicans set up in favor of their claim
that it is the right and dutyof Congress
to exclude slavery from the Territories,
is the Ordinance Of 1877 = enacted pre-
vious to the adoption of the Constitution.
They entirely overlook the fact that the
Congress of the Confederacy possessed
altogether different powers from those of
the present Congress-. 1t had only such
powers as the State chose to give it, and
the Ordinance derived it's validity from
the assent of the individual States
That Congress did not prohibit slavery
in Kentucky Territory, nor abolish the
slave trade, for the reason that it had
been authorized to exercise no such
powers.


When the first Congress met under
the Constitution in 1889, they passed AN
act confirming the Ordinance of 'S7,
and why? For the reason that they
were bound to do so by that clause Of
the Constitution which says that oil en-.
gagements entered into by the Congress
of the Confederation, previous to the
adoption of the Constitution, shall be az
valid against the United States, under
the Confederation. The same Congress,
at IT'S next session, took charge Of tho
District of Columbia, and the Tennessee
Territory, but said nothing of prohibi.
tion 4ii


The right was never granted to Con-
gress by the Constitution to legislatate
upon the domestic affairs of the people
of the Territories, and any attempts to.
do this is an assumption of power and
prerogative which belongs to the people.
So our "fathers" thonght, and Mr.. Madi-
son, himself, who had more to do than
any other man with the framing of tho
Constitution, declared that the prohibi-
tion Of Slavery by Congress IN 1920,
from territory north Of 36 .. 30 min,
was without shadow of Constitutional
guarantee. ta BE 'H
