Our Augusta dispatches announce that a
Governor has been chosen at last. The Sem
ate, which had only been waiting for the ac-
ton of the popular branch, has promptly de-
cided between the names of the candidates
sent up by the House and elected Aonzo
Garcelon. The action of the Republican
Senators has been foreshadowed in these COL
umns, and is in accordance with the policy
urged by the PRESS in common with many
other journals in the State. In truth there
was no other consistent thing to do.


The fact is the Republican Senate has been
called upon to choose between two evils, and
have chosen the least. It has not made DIR.
Garcelon Governor because it loved him, nor
in pursuance of any trade nor in expectation
of any tfavors-bargaining has been left in
the competent and itching hands of the Goa
liton; but he was chosen because he was
less Objectionable than Major Smith. Nor do
the Republicans assume any responsibility nor
claim any credit for the acts of his admins
tration. Neither is their choice to be con-
strued as an unqualified approval Of his finan-
cial views. He is not believer in the fiat
money folly, and so far we are in sympathy
with him. He has come, whether justly or
not, to be considered throughout. the country
as representative of resumptionists against
anti-resumptionists, and to that he is en-
titled for his election. 1t is to be hoped that
in his message he will justify tho -halief'

Iwonder not that calmly ran
The roaring streams when rustic Pan


Played on his lutte enhancing,
Nor that the grazing, lowing herds,
The savage beast and singing bird
Were stilled when heavenly notes were heard


That nymphs came nearer dancing,
By Ladin's limpid flowing stream,
That glides along, like soothing dream,


The meadows of Already,
Came forest graces bathing there,
But gay brunette aud handsome fair
With Syrinx none could aught compare


The bsauteous woodland lady.
And by some divination led
The sbepherd-worshipped hither sped


To watch the nymphs disportng
Their nimble forms his vision daze,
And loud he sings fulsome praise
To charming Syrinx-soon his lays
Were changed to earnest courting.
The frightened wood-nyhph quickly flew
From such untimely interview


And prayed the Goddess Venus
"Thou art my loving mother kind,
Oh, speed me on the wings of wind
Till this insulting Pan shall find


A thousand leagues between usp'
Faster and faster grew the race
And Pan gave Syrinx nearer chase


Still pleading, singing sweetly,
And in the olden tales we read
How Venus gave her prayer no heed,
But into a rustling river reed


She changed the nymph completely.
Undaunted still the eager Pan
Would have the prize for which he ran


Tho changed in form the treasure,
And from the nymph transmogrified
He made pipe full seven reeds wide
Twas such an one as he had tried


To find throughout all Asia.
Good reason why the forest trees
Came down to Pan on bended knees


Twas not a thing inhuman,
And holds rule in this late year.
The world to-day gives willing ear
And gladly stops while to hear


The soothing voice Of woman.

The Assistant Treasurer at New York
writes the Treasury department: "There
has been no change in the movement of
gold 1t still continues to accumulate
In our vaults, while the amount of GER
tifcates outstanding remains nearly
stationary. There is really no demand
for gold, and, as it. is less convenient
than notes to handle, not only the an
nual production, but the imports, which
are likely to be very large this fall, will
naturally take the same direction. The
accumulation in the stock of coin in the
Treasury, in view of the fact that the
customs duties are now paid in United
States notes and silver certificates, is
conclusive evidence of the general belief
in the quality of these notes, and in the
permanency of resumption. 1t will
soon be necessary to use portion of the
silver vault for the storage of gold"

The jury in the case of the people as.
Newell Bradley, charged with aiding
prisoner to escape from Jail, brought in
verdict of guilty. OF this verdict we
have not a word to say against it. We
believe that under the evidence and the
law as given by the judge, that it was
the correct verdict. There are some
things, however, connected with this
case which we fail to understand. 1t
is well known that the charge against
Bradley was founded On the breaking
of the lock at the county Jail, and the
liberation of Moore who was confined
therein, for a misdemeanOr. Bradley
concealed the said Moore, fed and kept
kept him out of the way Of the officers
for about week, and enabled him to
get out of the county. Moore was after
ward arrested at Cadillac, and brought
back and served his time out in the jail
No effort was made at the time to
bring him to trial for breaking
jail dIiu SIuCc uo HdS tNtl
been only too willing witness to con-
yict the man who at his peril befriended
him, and yet no attempt has been made
to bring him to trial. Thursday, after
the verdict of the jury in the Bradley
case, complaint was made to Justice
and warrant for the arrest of Moore
asked for. The Justice informed the
complainant that the Prosecuting AttOr-
ney would have to draw up the papers.
The Prosecuting Attorney was visited
but had not time to attend to it just then,
but would do so in the evening. In the
evening, after two visits to his residence,
he was found, and went to his Office and
commenced drawing up the nesessary
papers, but before they were completed
said he could not get them out until
morning. Yesterday morning they were
got out and application made to the
Justice, but he was too busy at court to
attend to it, and in the mean
time Mr.. Moore left. To say the least,
the action of the Prosecuting Attorney
and Justice looks as if they were en-
deavoring to give Moore an opportunity
to escape. If Bradley is guilty Moore
is also guilty and should have been
brought to trial and made to suffer the
penalty of his guilt the same as his two
partners, Cumming and Bradley, who
have both been convicted.

Go there to make money.


Make it and keep it.


Don't lay out cent for public inn
prOvements.


Discourage every new enterprise and
say it will fail every time.


Vote down all propositions to build
school houses and bridges and grade the
streets and all that. If you don't your
taxes will be Is cents higher than they
were last year.
If YOU own any real estate in town put
such figures ON it that it will turn
purchasers hair white the same day and
make him leave town the next.


Don't advertise in your home paper.
If you do, people will find out where you
are and come aud trade with you, and in
this way you might get bogus 50-cent
piece tucked off on you in the course of
seven or eight years:


Run down everything in town and go
to some other place to buy your supplies
and tell your neigbOrs how much cheap
er they sell goods in other towns than in
yours.


Give more to circuses and less for
library books and lectures.


When farmers Come to town have cat
tie in the streets to eat up what they
have in their wagons.
Let hogs, horses and cattle have free
run in the streets all the year round. 1t
looks so s0ciable like.
If you have any bad roads leading out
of town into the country don't fix them;
don't grade and gravel or improve them
in any shape. If you do the. farmers
will all drive in over these nice roads
and track them all up.
Live for yourself exclusively, and al
wavs make the half-cent come on your
side.


Finally
So live that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan, and so forth,
| Thou 60 not like a Locomotive headlight,
| But like sputtering tallow dip whose wick is

Then. wrapped in the drapery of thy selfshness,
Shout loud for pockets in thy shroud,
| And if they put none there, walk to the grave
and save the hearse fee.

NEGLECT OF THE EYE.-Whatever an ounce

from the fact that modern civilization has i'm
posed upon the eye an ever-increasing amount
Of strain, both as to the actual quantity OF work
done and the constantly increasing brillancy
and duration OF the Illumination under which
1t is performed, that the greatest pains would
have been exercised in maintaining the organ
in condition OF health, and the greatest care
and solicitude used in its treatment when dig
eased And yet it is safe to say that there is
no organ in the body the welfare OF which is
so persistently neglected as the eye.

Mosr boys believe that the humming
sound made by the telegraph wires is
caused by the messages hurrying along
to their destination. Most men believe
that this sound is caused by the vi>
bration of the wire ia the wind. A
writer in an Austrian journal. however,
calls attention to the fact that one who
gives close observation to both the wire
and sounds will find that the latter make
themselves obvious likewise when there
is a total absence of wind and in quiet
morning in winter, when the wires aps
pear covered with frost to the thickness
OF finger, they nevertheless carry on
lively vibrations and swinging, while the
air is totally quiet. According to this
writer, therefore, the vibrations are due,
net to the wind, but to the changes oi
atmospheric temperature, and especially
through the action of cold, as the lower,
ing of the temperature induces a short
ening of the wires, extending over the
whole length of the conductor. A con


siderable amount 0 friction is produced
on the supporting bells, thus inducing
sound, both in the wires and the poles.

Last Saturday morning at
o'clock the wife Of Henry Volk-
man, resident of the Second ward,
was almost instantly killed at the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Depot, while attempting to alight
from a moving train. Mrs. Volk-
man was seeing of'he sister-in-la law,
Mrs. August Volkman, who was
going to Winona, Minnesota, and
was leaving the train after parting
with her, when in the endeavor to
jump from the steps of the coach,
she was thrown under the cars, the
wheels passing over both her legs
severing them from her body at
the thighs. The unfortunate woman
was carried to the depot and Dr.
r. M. Wiggington summoned, but
she was beyond all help and surviv-
ed her terrible injuries only an hour.
The deceased was about IS years of
age and had no children. Her hus-
band was in the country at work at
the time and the shock he received
when the news was broken to him
can be easily imagined. No blame
can be attached to the railroad COM
pany for this sad accident as had
the deceased been on the lookout
she had sufficient warning to get
from the train with safety. She
was told by the baggage-man, who
saw she intented to jump as the car
passed him, to wait until the train
reached the junction when she
would have plenty Of time to get
off, but paying no attention to his
warning in her excitement she made
the fearful leap with the fatal result
we have stated.

Wednesday last, several Indians
came to town and commenced beg
ging from door to door. They were
followed by numerous boys and
some who were out of their teens,
who Of course insisted upon having
the usual fun out of the original
owners of the soil. Missiles and
stones were thrown by both sides
and the Indians got excited chiefly
on account of being, under the in
fuence of liquor. In their broken
English they used some foul Ian
guage to passers by and cut a bad
figure generally in their drunken
ness, eliminating in their arrest by
the Deputy Marshal. The aborigine
malcontents were taken before


Justice Arnold and in the examina-
ton it was limited that the Indians
had been sold liquor in our midst
by dealer on the West Side, the
money for its purchase having been
begged from different citizens, who
gave it intending it to be used for a
more necessary and better purpose.
1t was shown that the resi-
dence Of Henry Maldaner in the
First ward had been visited by
these Indians and stones thrown at
the windows, several of which were
broken by them. The conduct of
the Indians was clearly unruly and
disorderly and they were committed
to the county jail at Jefferson to b:
imprisoned in solitary confinement
to be fed on bread and water only,
one for 20 days and the other for Is
days. The squaws in the party
were discharged. 1t is the unani-
nous opinion among our citizens
that ifi is certainly known who
the party is that sold these Indians
their liquor his prosecution should
follow and at least one example be
made of the result of violation O.


one of the most just and necessary
laws upon our statute books.
