In the recent elections the people have de-
clared In favor of honesty in politics and in
dependence in journalism. THE TRIBUNE,
which years ago declared that it was not and
never would be a party organ, claims the YER
dict, as the popular vindication of its course
and recogizes in the result the voice of the
people for reform and integrity in govern
ment, for candor and independence among
newspapers During the campaign which has
just closed The TRIBUNE has fully maintained
its right to the title of Leading American
Newspaper. This position it has earned and
retains for the following, among other reas-
ons:


1t publishes all the news, earlier more full
ly, and more intelligently than any other pa
per.


1t insists on peace throughout the whole
country, the right of local self-government,
and the protection of all classes in the exer-
else of their just and legal rights.


1t advocates confidence and good feeling be-
tween North and South, and labors for an
honest and abiding reconciliation.


1t maintains fairness and candor toward all
public men and questions, and dignity and
courtesy towards associates and rivals


1t publishes scientific news, reports discus
sions and discoveries to decree of fulness
and accuracy never before attained by any
paper.


1t gives every week ten or more columns of
the most carefully prepared agricultural mat

it Is generally understood that the

to ask of Col. Scott, nor has he any
TO grant in this matter of Pacific
Railroad; and that, if there is to be n
Southern Pacific Railroad by Govern
ment intervention, it should be such
an one as will minister TO the ports oil
the Gulf, Lower Mississippi and At
lantic coast cities; and furthermore,
that there are corporations south OF
the Potomac and west of the Missis-
sippi whose ability and responsibility
for whatever they may undertake IN
the way of railroad building are quite
equal to those of the Texas and Pacific
and Atlantic and Pacific companies,
with whom the task of constructing a
Southern Pacific road may be entrust-
ed. A part of the Southern members
favored the Texas and Pacific scheme
last year, feeling that it was the only
alternative. The fact that Mr.. Scott
controls a few hundred miles of road
in Texas, which is now in default, and
land grant charter across that State,
which is lapsed and forfeited, is by no
means conclusive reason why his
corporation should be selected to build
to the Pacific ocean. The Govern
ment aid would enable any one of
half dozen other corporations to
build it, and at the same time to feed
the Southern railroad lines by carry
ing portion of the business by the
more direct routes across Southern
territory. But beyond the spurious
ness of the pretenses of Col. Scott to
a special and exclusive claim on Gov
ernment support, lies the insuperable
objection, that to Government aid OF
one sort or another we owe principally
the railroad mania that exploded in
1873 with such widespread disaster;
which should be accepted as conclu--
sive reason why the Government
should in future keep aloof from all
such commitments.

SENATOR jones' Real Estate Cir

the steps of the Government to set
aside the patents to several large
grants in this county, on the ground
of fraudulent survey, is a serious plot
to injure the worthy holders of eleven
leagues of land under a four league
patent. 1t is too bad that the Govern
ment should break up these little spec
ulations. It is equally ugly that the
railroad company should ask If it is
true that the owners of the San Vi
cente ranch arc holding four or five
leagues of land .when juridical posses
sion was only given to two leagues.

Many fatal form of sickness is b.3ught in
to action by slight cold. Many a friend has
been lost to us in that way, who but for tri-
vial exposure at a critical condition of the sys-
tenn at the time, might have still been alive.
Many time the same exposure, an hour soon
er or later, would have had no i'll effect what
ever. If for example, you enter vehicle in
profuse perspiration, and sit near an open
window, with strong draught of air, cold is
inevitable, but if you had taken the same seat
au hour before, not having exercised SO as to
cause perspiration, no damage would have re-
suited. A man can never become so hardy
but that he will take cold if he coos off too
soon, or if he allows himself to remain uncom-
fortably cold in still position until he be
comes chilled through and through. 1t is we'll
therefore to know and remember few of the
things which are likely to give cold.


Going to sleep in the day time, especially
without any covering, even in midsummer,
with the ordinary clothing on, because during
sleep the circulation is less active than when
awake, and is not sufficiently active to repel
cold.


Sitting in a room where there is fire, with
the back toward the window, because there is
draught made by the cold air driving into
the room through the crevices.


Sitting still with damp feet even for half an
hour has often induced fatal consequences.


Putting on cold pair of shoes or slippers
Immediately after having come in from a walk.


Coming into parlor or otherwise unused
room in spring or fall, when there is no fire,
which the exercise in the pleasant, balmy air
from without has caused some perspration.-
A gentleman should keep his hat on, and Ia
dy should keep in motion while waiting for
the person visited to come in. 1t is not unus-
ual to keep parties waiting in cold parlor so
long as to get completely chilled.


Alter entering room without fire from a
brisk walk, none of the outer clothing should
be removed for several minutes, unless busted
on the feet, so as to keep up the circulation to
point equal to what it was while out of doors.


Prominent persons have brought on serious
and even fatal sickness in foreign lands by Wis
iting picture galleries or rooms of other art,
especially in Rome, which never have FIRE in
them, and almost always have a sepulchral
dampness, rather pleasant on first entering,
but which rapidly diminishes the heat of the
body, inducing chills, pneumonia, and death.
Hence it is wise, on entering building or room
without fire from the warm sunshine from
without, to put on an additional garment, or at
least draw those already on closer around you,
yet it is quite common to see persons take off
the hat, lay aside the gloves, remove the shawl,
the moment they come in from the street.-Dr.

There are countless millions of pigeons to be
found within one hundred miles of this city.
The country lying between the main line OF
the Erie Railroad from Corning to Buffalo, and
the Rochester branch from Corning to Avon, is
literally alive with the birds. Their roosting
place is situated in wild mountainous region
west of Coopers, New York, few miles this
side of Corning, and embraces a tract of land
from seven to ten miles square, heavily timber
cred, and unbroken by clearings or highways,
from which they issue at daylight and scatter
over the country for miles in search OF their
food, which consists principally OF acorns.-
The birds made their appearance near Coopersi
about three weeks ago and have advanced fur
ther west daily, until they now fly as far west
as Springwater. During the present week they
will in all probability be found at points along
the Gennessee Valley and scattered over the
surrounding country, and there is prospect
that considerable number of the birds will
build their nests and breed in this county and
those adjoining. AT present the easiest way to
bag them is to go to Coopers, Curtis, Campbells
or Savons, and choose elevated position di-
rectly in the line of the flight, and shoot as the
immense focks come surging past. This plan
gives an opportunity to shoot in the morning
as the birds fly to the feeding grounds, and
again at night as they return to roest, and
avoids the fatigue of climbing the high, rough
wooded hills in which the birds feed during
the day.


The writer took a trip to Campbells last
week, made big bags, and never had more
enjoyment crowded into two days trip
The birds fly over the western side of the val
ley in the morning and 60 back on the eastern
side at night, flying just above the tree tsps as
they pass up and down the mountains. Oppo-
site the village of Campbels are three high hills;
hllls; on the top of the centre one of our par
ty took up position, and when the fight COM
menced about $50 P. NJ, we could not load
.nd fire fast enough to take the focks they
charged upon US like the waves of the ocean.
The flight lasted an hour. From our elevated
position we commanded view of the country
for ten or twelve miles in length and five or
six in width, and for the entire distance in
mense focks could be stretching out in
long lines until lost in the distance. When
nearing the "roost" several aocks arriving sim
ultaneously would sweep together into one i'm
mense flock and alight in tree in thick
mass, seemingly covering an acre or more
Several trappers are endeavoring to ascertain
the exact location of the feeding ground, fer
the purpose of catching the birds with nets,
but as yet have not come far enough west to
meet success.--Rochester (N ~ Democrat,

BROKEN FRIENDsHIp-We clip the following
from the Ledger. 1t is from the pen of Mary
Kyle Dallas, and is worthy of place in the
memory of all.


Friendship is good deal like china. 1t is
very durable and beautiful as long as it is quite
whole; but break it, and all the cement in the
world will never quite repair the damage.


You may stick the pieces together so that,
at distance, it looks nearly as we'll as ever,
but it won't hold hot water. 1t lis always ready
to deceive you if you trust it, and it is on the
whole very worthless thing, fit only to be put
empty on shelf and forgotten there.


The finer and the more delicate tits the more
utter the ruin. A mere acquaintanceship,
which needs only little good humor to keep
itup, may be coarsely puttied like that old
yellow bowl in the store closet, but tenderness,
and trust, and sweet exchange of confidence,
can no more be yours when angry words and
thoughts have broken them, than can those
delicate porcelain tea-cups which were splint-
cred to pieces be restored to their original
the true ring, and you had better search
for new friend than try to mend the old one.


And all this has nothing to do with forgive
ness. One may forgive and be forgiven, but
the deed has been done, and the word said ; the
flowers and the gliding are gone. The formal
"making up" especially between two women,
is of no more avail than the wonderful &C
ments that have made cracked uglness of
the china vase that you expected to be your
''joy forever"


Handled delicately, washed to purity in the
waters Of truth, conlided to no careless and
unsympathizing hands, friendship may last
two lives out, but it "does not pay" to try to
mend it. Once broken it is spoiled forever.

REJECTED SUIToRS.-A woman never quite
forgets the man who has once loved her. She
may not have loved him she may, indeed,
have given him the no instead of the yes he
hoped for but the remem brance that he de-
sired yes always softens her thoughts of him,
and would make him, were he reminded of it,
friend forever. There may be girls who
make jest of discarded suitors, but they are
generally very young, and the wooing has been
something that did not betoken much depth of
tenderness. There are mercenary offers, too,
that only awaken scorn and hate in the woman
wooed for money and not for herself; but real
ly to have touched a mans heart is something
not to be forgotten while she lives. Always she
remembers how his eyes looked into hers how,
perhaps, he touched her hand with his, and
how her heart ached when he turned away
without that which she could not give him.
She loves some obe else. Some other man has
all the truth of her soul-always has, and al
ways will have-but she cannot forget the one
who turned from her and vent his way and
came no more. She is glad when she hears of
his success, grieved when she knows that he
has suffered and when some day she hears
that he is married-she who has herself been
married long years, perhaps; she who, at all
events, would never have married him-is she
glad then do not know. A woman's heart


is very strange thing do not believe she
knows herself. Gladf Oh yes and is his wife
pretty and nice And then she says to herself
that she has quite forgotten" and "that, of
course, is best" and cries little.

A QUEER DISCOVERY "A MYSTERIOUS BULLET =
A correspondent of the Toledo Blade, writing
from Hastings, Mich, says: "About ten miles
south of this place farmer, while driving some
cows through deep forest adjoining his fields,
Unexpectedly came upon an unusually large buck
stretched out upon the ground, and moaning
away the last moments of its existence The an
imal was evidently very old, and in a sadly
emaciated condition, 80 the fact that the farmer
Immediately put bullet through its head should
rather be looked upon as an act Of compassion
than otherwise. Just as he was about TO leave
he observed a round lump upon the animal side,
which so attracted his attention that he stopped
to examine it. Quickly discovering that close
under the skin was deposited round, hard body,
he used his knife and brought to light silver
bullet such as was used in oden times for the in
closure of secret dispatches. He carried this Gu
riosty to his house, where after considerable
trouble, he succeeded in opening it, and found to
bis great surprise, that it contained message
written in cypher upon paper attenuated to a
high degree Otherwise than that the paper was
slightly discolored (not sufficiently, however, to
oblterate the characters Neither the bullet nor
what it enclosed bore any evidence OF lis late sur
roundings or of the strange vicissitudes through
which it might previously have gone. Several
men of science have carefully inspected this relic
of the past and are as much at a loss to decipher
the message as they are TO satisfactorily explain
when and how the bullet came to be lodged in
the side OF the buck"
