AN AUTUMN SONG.
No', genlly falls the fading lig it,
The Autumn’" sunset vail,
W'l.le dusky grows the wavering flight
Of whippoorwill and quail.
Tin grain is bound, the nuts are brown
On every wooded bill.
The light is softened down
And silvered no the rill.
She partridge drums ; the plov’rs call
Salutes the sportsman’s ear,
And just above ti e water-fall
The fisher sets his weir.
The reddened leave- with withered wings
Sweep lightly to the sod,
And Autumn walks the land and sings,
With rustling sandals shod

PAUL WESTON.
A Story for the Coys.
BY MAY EBON.
1 butsed Paul Weston, when he was
a wee, laughingeyed baby. I saw him
almost eveiv day until he was a man
grown, and a brighter, handsomer boy
you would not wish to see. He was
honest, too. and upright; he was brave
as a lion and tender as a woman. It
seemed to me that every grand and no
ble principle belonging to thf* human
race were centered in him, but in his
v'wn home there lurked an enemy more
deadly than the coiled serpent or the
deadly U as. Wine, luby, sparkling,
amber wine, was an article of every day
use in his father’s household. It was
bueutil'ul to look upon and pleasant to
the tasle, and Paul did not see the dead
ly, terrible danger that lurked in its
luddvglow. Accustomed to it from
ch'ldhood, it scarce appeared an evil to
he resisfed with all the strength of his
moral nature, but rather as an article
that would counteract the ills of life
Thus educated, is it, any wonder that
Paul fell a victim to a pernicious habit?
He did not go down at once, however,
as so many do. He had too much pride
of charac‘er, too much strength of will,
for that, and for long years he dallied
with the tempter before it entirely
overcame him ; but he went down at
last, as sooner or later all will who look
upon the wine when it is red, for in the
cad it bitelh like an adder. Woe and
ruin, flighted life, a dishonered grave,
anu a Tost eternity are its bitter fiuits.
Paul learn and a'l this as his life ad
vanced, but the dread delusion that has
dragged milieus of souls down to per
dition possessed him, too. He thought
he knew just how far to go , he thought
he would drink in moderation. In
“ moderation how many men has
th t word hurled o . to deadly ruin ?”
Oh, how I grieved as I saw my brave,
noble friend slowly but surely working
out his own undoing, and l as well as
others remonstrated, but all in vain.—
The spell of the sorcerer had been cast
upon him, and he could not or would
not bieak the awful charm Several
offices of trust were bestowed upon
hiui by the people, for he was a univer
sal favorite. At first evcry‘hing went,
well, but by and by discrepancies crept
in. We all knew the cause ;we all
pitied, and blamed, and loved Paul jus*
the same.
Put at leng'h the end came. There
was an election, treat, a row. What
can be more pitiable? more heartrend
ing, more hideous than
a drunken, infuriated mob ot men,
where curses, blows, and blood are
mingled, yet it was in such a one that
Paul fell, with an ugly knife wound
just above his heait. I stood b v his
bedside and watched the slow ebbing
B'vay of his life. I heard him speak
in flattering tones of lost oppoilunities,
squandered abilities, and a wa ted, ru
ined, unspent life. I heard him tell of
the horror of a great darkness that en<-
Wiapped his mental vision, of the aw*
ful dread of entering the world beyond,
and with his dying breath I heard him
curse the intoxicating draught, r.nd
those who made and sold aud got gain
from it, and after his life had fled 1
stood beside his rigid form, I laid my
band upou his icy forehead, 1 gutted
upon the shattered temple where once
a grand and noble spirit dwelt. And
in my heart I cursed the wine-cup’s
luddy glow. In an untimely grave
Ibey laid Paul Weston down, to sleep
until the judgement day. How much
°f his runisbiuent the parents who
gave him his home training will have
to bear I cannot say, but I wish to beg
tbe boys and young men who read this
to not tamper with the beverages that
intoxicate, they hold their destiny in
their own hands now. but there is a
poin t beyond which they may ! OS6 11l IS

There is no reason why the inventor
of a remedy to “cure the worst case of
calartb inside ol five niinutes”shouldnT
feel it his duty to place a Dottle of the
Bauie in every person’s hand—“price
lwentv~fiyc cants ; no cure no pay.”—
Therefore, the long-legged chap who
pulled a door-bell on John It. street
yesterday had none of that timidity in
his bearing which characterizes rag-buy
ers, lightning-rod men and solicitors for
the fire sufferers. He had a good thing
and he knew it, and he wanted other
folks to know it. When the door open,
ed and a hard-featured woman about
forty years of age confronted him
he pleasantly went to business and ask
ed ;
•Madam is your husband ever troubled
with the catarrh ?”
• Can a man who has been dead seven
years be troubled with the cutarrh?”she
grimly replied
“Put the children are liab’e to be at
tacked at any hour this season,” he re
marked.
‘‘Who's children ?”
“Yours, madam.,,
“I never had any,sir ! What biought
you here, anyway ? Why do you cotne
asking these question ?”
“Madam, I have compounded a rem
edy for the catarrh It is a good thing
I’ll warrant it to knock any case of cat
arrh high-sky in less time than five min
utes.”
“Well, sir, what is all this to me ?”
“Why,madam —why—” he stammer*
ed.
‘‘Do I look as if I needed any catarrh
remedies?” she demanded, as she step
ped out on the platform.
“Madam, I would not for the world
have you think that 1 thought you had
the catarrh, but I suppose tbe fair and
lovely can be attacked as wed as the
strong and brave ”
“And what have I got to do with all
that rigmarole ? Who are you, sir, and
what do you want ?”
“Madam,” he whispered, backing
down one step, “I have compounded a
remedy for the catarrh.”
“Who’s catarfh, sir ?”
“Madam. I am seeing my catarrh—”
“Wheie is ycur catarrh—where is it
she asked.
He got down on the second step and
softly began :
‘ Madam. I have a s ire cure for the
—the catarrh, aud 1 am selling lot* of
it.”
“Well, what do I care! Must you
ring my door bell to tell me that you are
selling lots of catarrh medicine !”
He got down on the walk,clear
of the steps, and he tried hard to look
beautifully around the mouth as he ex'
plained :
“Madam, didn’t l ask you if jour
husband was ever troubled with the
catarrh ?”
••Yet, sir, and didn’t I reply that he
was dead ! Do you want to see his grave,
sir?”
“No madam, Ido not. I’m sorry
he’s dead, but mv catarrh remedy can’t
help him any. Good-bye, dear mad
am.”
“Here, sir, hold on a minute !” she
called, “what was your business with
me?”
“Why, I have a remedy for the ca
tarrh.”
“So you sad before.”
“I assed you if you didn’t want to
purchase and— ”
“You arc a falsifier, —you never ask
ed me to purcha-e !”
“Do—you—want —a —bottle ?” he
slowly asked.
“Yes, sir—give me two of them
here’s your m <ney ! Next time you *ani
to sell yoor catarrh-remedy don’t begin
to talk around about the discovery of
America by Columbus. Here you ve
bothered me fifteen minutes aud put ail
my woik behind, and it’s good for
you that I didn’t bring the broom to
the door!”
He retreated backwards through the
gate, his left-eye squinted up and his
mouth open. He shut the gate, leaued
over it and looked loug at tbe front
door. By and by he said :
“Darn ’em ! You can never tell where
to find ’em !”— Detroit Free Frers.

Hon. Henry 13 Payne, of Ohio, a
member of t. e Flectoral CooiinUsion,
in his great, speech last week at San
dusky, after a pungent review of the
whole transaction of the commission,
cocluded as follows:
This shameful decision (excuse me if
1 use plain language) stands recorded
in the journals of Congress, and if per
mitt'ed to stand there unchallenged and
unreversed, it will form a most perilous
precedent. The Presidency is a mag
nificent prize. Why may not other
states be tempted in the future to or
ganize returning boards as corrupt and
base as those in Florida aud Louisiana,
and armed with this all powerlul cer
tificate ?
Republicans ask : “ For what pur
pose do you agitate this question ? Do
you propose to dispute or impeach the
title of .Mr. Hayes?” I answer no.—
He is doiug very well for a six months
convert. He is endeavoring with the
best intentions to execute the Demo
cratic platform as Mr. Filden would
have done. In some respects he is ac
complishing result* sooner than Mr.
Tilden eould have accomplished them,
especially in the destroying of the Re
publican* party 1 1 the Southern
States it has vanished entirely,and we
have already a solid South. Ihe thirty

slavery, thus far mainly controlled y
aorpet-baggers and freedmen, have

snugly and happily turned over to the
Democratic party.
It was a bold step for “ President ”
Hayes to take in the casting out of
Packard and bis fellows. It was a ter*
tible reflection on his own title. No,
we acknowledge his title ; we propose
to assist and co-operate in his efforts of
reconciliation and reform, because it is
the policy for which we as a party have
been cunlending since the close of the
war, cause it is the true policy for the
country
But in the meantime we intend to
wage a ceaseless war against the decis
ion ot the electoral commission until
i*s power for evil is destroyed We
have in history a an example for our
guide and encouragement. I ref r to
Clay’s condemnatory resolution of lt'33
charging with viola
ting the (Joostitu.ion, in his official ac
tion, relating to the removal of the de
posits It was voted by a party vote,
aud was felt by the party of the coun
try as unjust and wicked. At once,
Col. Benton set the bill of agitation in
motion. The resolution was every
wher denounced—and the excitement
was kept up until 1837, when, the rna
uiajority of the Senate having changed
to the Democratic side, the resolution
to expunge from the records was passed
by a vote of 25 to 19 ; and the record
being brought into the Senate, ‘he se*
cretary proceeded in the open Senate to
draw a square of broad black lines
around the recorded resolution and. to
write across its face in strong letters
these words : “ expunged by order
OF THE SENATE.”
In like manner the Democracy on
the stump, through in county, State
and National convention, on every pos
sible occasion, in season and out of sea
son and out of season, propose to im
peach, challenge and assail the decision
of the Electoral Commission, as finally
adopted by Cougress and entered upon
its journals. There shall be no peace
to*the wicked.We will agitate,and agitate
until, in the fullness of time, now, thank
God, not very distant, the Senate hav
ing changed its majority and the two
houses in Democratic accord, assuredly
on the second Wednesday of February,
ISSI, when assembled jn ioint conven
tion to countin a Democratic President,
the journals of '76 shall be produced,
aud then and there the clerk shall pro
ceed to draw a squsie of broad, black
lines around the accursed record and to
write across its face in l itters strong
and indelible these words : “expunged
BY ODDER OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.”
Then, and not til! then, will the
wound of the Constitution bb healed—
this gaeat wrong shall be avenged—
the purity and sovereignty of the elec
tive frrnchise vindicated, and the safety
and perpetuity of the republic assured.
End of The Nez Forces War.
Fort Benton, October 8, via Hel
ena, October 10. —The capitulation of
the en'ire hand of Nez Perces under
Joseph occurred at two oclock in the
afternoon of October 5. The savages
gave up L'Teir gurs and ammunition,
passing in review before Genera! Miles
and accepting an unconditional surren -
der. The troops at once occupied
the Indians’ inirenchuitnts, and the
first victo: v over the past two years
was sigualized. Afl> r the Indian camp
had been surrounded and the soldiers
had secured themselves defensive posi
tions. only four casualties occupied.—
The soldiers closed in upon the savages
slowlv but suielv after the first day, a!!
the time extending their line of rifle pits
It was the purpose of General Miles
to lose no more men in the attack On
the fou'.h day of the fight Joseph raised
a while flag tor the third tome, and
through an i.iteipveter offered to sur
render, provided they were allowed to
keep their guns General M ilessent wo: and
thur lie must surrender without t ese ve
and the battle was again renewed
The white flag was displayed ag'in on
the fifth and las day.when Joseph ap
pealed in iront of his lines and advance
ed to meet General Miles to whom he
tendered his gun. lie was fallowed by
sixty wart inis, who also turned over
their arms, and shook hands with Gen
eral Miles When ihe troops entered
‘he rifle pits foriy warriors were dis
covered disabled by wounds. I hey
were removed to the camp hospitals
The number of Indians killed is not
known as they have already bm ied
their dead.
General Miles left at noon on Sunday
for Tongue river, taking his read
and wounded and the suirendered band
General Surgis did not at rive in time
to take a hand in tbe fight, and the
glorv of the vie ory rests with General
Miles General Haward with an es
cort of seventeen men, arrivd on the
morning of the tui render II is
presence there was not understood, and
he made no aUeuipt to assume com*
mand. * He left bis infantry at ihe
Missouri liver and with his cavalry
proceeded to the scene of the battle
The intienchments ocau ied by the In
dians consisted in c'( over one hundred
and sixty rifle pits, which communical.-
ed with each other so that assistance
could he rendered if Decessary. The
squaws fought by the side of the warri

It was very muddy weather when
President Hays visited lih id ; Island,
and when he went away he carried aw y
about three-fourths ol the State on his
boots,and had to sit and >wn in Con .ectie

while th# despoiled inhabitants scrapes
off their estates. The Islanders don’t

“Henry Archibald, do you ever in
tend to put that shelf up in the cellar,
or has a body got to stump their toes
over preserve jars all their life every
time they go down in that dismal hole
anyhow?”
Henry leaned back from the breakfast
table. He was feeling the beneficial ef
fects of a pound of sausage placed
where it had the best effect, and, look*
ing benignly upon the dear aggravation
of his life, he observed :
“Did you say vou wanted a shelf?”
“Yes l did. about a hundred times,
and you know it, too,” and there was a
pref-eutiuient of wrath in her accents.
“I thought I put you up a shelf only
a few years ago.”
“Gracious powers, man, that was
when Martha was a baby and now she
can wear uiv shoes ”
“Y a- a-8, aud turn around in ’em,
too ”
“Now don’t you dare for to go for to
agrivoke me, Henry Archibald,” and
she’ shook a fateful forefinger forninst
him. • Not a drop o' sleep or a wink
to eat shall your bones see to-night till
that shelf is put up. Now, you mind
that!”
“Well, where’s a board ?” and Henry
looked vaguely out into the yard, pick
ing his teeth.
Here’s a hoard I’ve been savin’ ever
so long,” and Mrs. A. dragged her
white pine treasure out from the wash
house.
“Ain’t got no nail,” and Henrv,
turned the hoard up on its edge and
sighted along it carefully.
“I’ll find you nails ; yo" shan’t have
that for an excuse to get out of work,”
and she disappeared into the garret
while benr. took the paper and com*
menced an article on the “Source of
the Amazon.” Just as he was coming
to the conclusion that it didn’t mean
the origin of Mis. Archibald, tb it lady
appeared.
“Here. young man, no goin’ to sleep
over that old Daper uow. Get to
work.”
“Where’s any hatchet ?”
‘ Here it is ; and she pranced out to
the wood-shed after it; then she can
tered over to Peel’s a*d borrowed a saw
and carried all the things in the cellar,
talking vehemently all the time, anu
getting in high good humor at the pros*
pect of tbe shelf going up rapidly.
“Come now, dear, the things are ail
teady for you.”
Then Henry went down and looked
deeply interested,while she showed how
she wanted the hangers made, and nail
ed them together. Then he held them
up while she nailed them on the joists.
'• hen he helped her lift the shelf into
position, and sat down on a wash-tub
with an exhausted air to contemplate
the perfect work.
“I think I made a pretty good
job of that, considerin’,” he remarked.
Mrs. A was standing on her tip-toes
straining every muscle to drive a final
nail in one of the hangers, and just then
the hatchet emphasized itself on her
left thumb-nail, and all milk of human
kindness in her systems turned into
smearcase. Henry chuckled foolishly
as- he dropped the hatchet on her most
sacred bunion, and as he fled through
the open cellar way into the street he
had a vision of a crazy woman chewing
her left thumb and slinging a jar of
preserved plums with her right hand.
It caught him on the top of the head
and breaking, spread a quart ot blood*
colored and sticky juice imparti
al!? over his face and down his neck
The next thing he knew, he was in the
arms of a big policeman at the cor
ner, in whose ears he yelled hysterical
ly-
“ Take me in ; take me in quick,l tell
you. I h.ivn’t got ten feet the start of
eternal punishment.”
Postponed ll is* Marriage.
One mo'ning two or three days ago a
middle aged man with a sore thumb ard
a look of anticipations entered Justice
Brown’s office and softly sat down He
put bis hat on the fl*or, sat up very
erect and for three strait hours hardly
moved a finger At noon, as the Jus
tice was ready to go. he asked the
strange man if he wanted anything
•Yaw,”
‘‘Well, what is it ?”
‘ I vhanis to set der Rhustice.”
•‘I am the mao,” replied His Hon
or.
‘ I links so all dor while,” said the
man as he sat down again.
“Did you want to see me ou busi
ness?”
“Yaw.”
“What is your busiaess —what do you
want to ask me ?”
“I vhants to get marriet.”
“Well, where is the bride ?”
“I doad know narding about any
prides.”
“Where is the woman whom you de
sire to marry?” asked His Honur.
“I haf neffer seen her,” was the re*
ply.
“Well, how can I marry you to any
body ?”
“I doin’ know ”
“Where is the woman?” exclaimed
the Court.
“May be in Shicago !”
The man went out and sat down on
the other side of the alloy, intending lo
have a further conversation after dinner
but an old barrel fell off the shed on his
head,the newsboys rolled an old pumpk
in at him. aod he went away say
ing :
“I shall get married no more till next
year !”—Detroit Free Press.
AF EX-GRANGER.
Why He Retired from Active
Farming.
“i used to be an agriculturist, |Tom.
An agriculturist is the noblest work of
God. He beats an honest man —iu a
horse trade Y r es, I was once a “hor
ney-handed son of toil.” I ate my
bread in the ‘sweat of my brow.” ”
“I suppose you was one of them fel
lars that wear the badges, Jack, and
turn out iu tha processions—a Gran
ger?”
“A Granger ! Poo ! Why, I was old
Agricola himself!”
“Yes ?”
“Yes. I used tu “speed-the plow.” ”
“And hurl the glitteting McCormack
through the gold m gtain?” said Tom,
rubbing his hands together at the
thought.
“No Tom. I steered the sh’ning
share tbiough the emerald sward, my
boy ”
“I see—the plow was your strong
hold.”
“Ah ! Tom, I was a regular Cinoin
natus!”
“0, you had a hog ranch !”
“Hog ranch he blowed. Cincinna
tus was a plowman.”
•‘Well,Jack,plowman or
we won’t fall out about him. But, tell
me, where did you do a’l this farming of
yours ?”
“Up in Oregon. I eegaged myself
to a land preprietoi and was allotted
the pleasing task ot preparing tbe fruit
ful soil fur the waiting seed. I went
far h and tittillated the bosom of old
mother earth.”
“\nu plowed, Jack ?”
“Y<’S, plowed, my boy. I plowed
for tlie space of about three hours. A
root of the size of a boa constrictor then
arose and projected itself into my face,
causing two front teeth and f .he classic
out lines of my nose to disappear; the
plow weut into a stump; I went over its
haudLs, aud the team while the b>*am
ofthettol —went through two fences
aud to the devil, for all I ktow.”
“Regular smash up, Tom. 1 did not
long consider the situation, but, girding
up my loins, sadly betook myself across
lots to the nearest seaport town. Cin
cinnatus of old left his plow in the fun
row l left the remains of mine stick
ing in a stump.”
“From that moment, Torn, I ceased
to be a husbandman. For nearly three
hoars the calm joys of a tiller of the
soil had filled my soul. That big root
knocked all the Agricola, Uincinnatus
and Bobby Burns out of me No more
plow for me ! Never eu ce have l guid
ed the shining share of the historic im
plement.”
Hunting a Wild Horse.
Fo** several months past a band of
wild horses have *ieen roaming over the
plains in the vicinity of Pine Bluff,forty
miles east of here, drinking daily of the
waters of Lodge Pole Creek, a fine
large stream near that place. The lead
er of th# baud is a large, elegantly-pro
portioned, jet black stallion, with
sweeping raven tavl and mane, fiery eye
and majestic mien.
Five days ago a party of cattle herd
ers decided to give chase to this wild
monarch o* the boundless plain, and,
mounting fresh and fleet steeds, set out
upon his trail. They had arranged for
frequen 1 changes of animals, with the
view of keeping him in that immediate
vicinity and wearing him out by giving
him no rest
The band of flyers was found,and then
commenced the long aud arduous strug.
gle between men used to the wild horse
and cattle, skilled in every device for
“cutting out,” “rounding up,” &e , and
an untamed rover of the plains full of
subtle equne strategy, of wonderful
speed and incalculable nerve, ‘ bottom”
and powers of endurance.
For five days and nights has the chase
continued Several ot the herders
horses have been killed by riding, but
when our informant lelt I ine Bluffs
yesterday morning the noble stallion
was prancing around at the head of a
band of tame horses seemingly as fresh
and vigo ous as though he had never
known fat’gue. On the second day
he was sepaiated from his wild compan
ions, aud has since been kept away from
them.
Mr. Cold, the leader of the pursuers,
is confident that he will yet capture the
magnificent steed, and proposes to fol
low him to the end Several wild horses
have been captured in this vicinity dur
ing ihe past year.— Omaha Herald.
Louisville Courier Journal : It is

They say that while “a man who shot
