SANFORD K A R R M YE R S.
We take the following obituary
notice of the late Judge Myers from
the Woodford, Ills., Journal. Judge
Myers was well and favorably known
in this county, and his many friends
here will with sorrow learn of his
untimely death:
“ The subject of this brief sketch
died in Chicago on the 28th of April,
1874, and was buried in Eureka on
the 30th.
S. K. Myers was born in the city'
of Frankfort, Ky., Nov. G, 1835. His
parents Mr. E. B. Myers and Mrs.
Mary K. Myers, removed to Illinois
some time during the next year. His
father has long since passed to his
rest. The aged mother yet remains
in our midst to mourn her sad and
sudden bereavement. S. K. was a
pupil in our school when Prof. Fish­
er and I conducted Walnut Grove
Academy, (now Eureka College.
“ He was bright aud talented, mak­
ing his mark in every class; agreea­
ble and pleasant, respectful to bis
teachers, kind aud sociable among
his fellows, and generally beloved
by all who knew him. In lps 18th
year he became allured with the sto­
ries of the delightful climate of the
Pacific coast, and leaving friends and
relatives, schoolmates and teachers,
he traversed the broad dreary plains,
with a bold and manly heart, and
found himself a stranger in the wilds
of Oregon, on the frontiers and al­
most among the Indians. He work­
ed on a farm during the first three
months; then went to the mines,
where he spent about the- same
length of time.
Shortly after this
they had trouble with the Indians.
He at once entered the State militia
and became adjutant of the 2ud regi­
ment of Oregon volunteers.
The
Indian troubles being over he re
turned home and was elected County
Surveyor of Josephine county in
which position he served with great
honor to himself for three years. He
subsequently removed to Baker
County, and was elected as magis­
trate of Eldorado precinct.. In this
position he also served for three
years. In all these he was deserv­
edly popular. Indeed, such was his
genial good nature aud his noble,
manly bearing that he endeared all
to him who knew him. While he
served as magistrate the people be­
came accustomed to call him Judge
Myers, which title he ever after
wora. His most distinguished pub­
lic service was acting as Chief Engi­
neer in constructing a canal or ditch
to supply the mines with water.
One day while lifting at a huge
boulder be felt something burst in
his side, after which as long as he
lived, he had severe paroxysms of
his heart, which finally culminated
in his death. In his feeble health
and his love for the mild climate of
the coast, and desire to return weal­
thy to his old home, he could never
be induced to return to the rigors of
our climate but prosecuted the min­
ing business until made acquainted
with the lonely estate of his widow-
ed mother. On being fully appris
ed of her feeble health, he at once
resolved to come and take care of her
while she lived. After starting on
the way he was informed of the death
of his brother, Hoi lie, at Corinne,
Utah, and came that way to settle
up his business. This being done
he hurried to his mother’s in Eure­
ka, where he arrived on the 19th of
March last, after an absence of al­
most 21 years. But oh! how chang­
ed is everything. The wild woods
where he roamed and played when a
boy, has grown to a flourishing
town. Whore he tracked the hare
and the mink is now the track cf the
locomotive.
But what a gloom
stole over his heart when he remem­
bered that his father and two of his
brothers were gone, and especially
when h-e saw his mother’s pale cheeks
and once raven locks now white as
snow. As soon as he recovered
from the shock and passed the warm
greetings with old friends he turned
his attention to fitting up the fences
of his mother’s home, to laying out
the garden walks and planting'vege­
table and flower seeds, and seeking
to make her home pleasant and cheer­
ful.
“ I inquired of him what he ex­
pected to do now as a business. lie
responded that he had as yet decid­

ed on but one thing, that was to
make his mother as happy as he
could while she lives. He would
often say, “ Oh mother, sit still and
let me wait on you, Oh, if you o ily
knew bow much pleasure it is for
me to wait on you and make you
happy you would call on me oftener
and you would not tell me to stop
and rest so frequently. It is uo
pleasure for me to be idle when I
have something to do for you.,” On
the Thursday night before his death
he went to Chicago on a visit to his
sister, Mrs. Campbell.
During bis
short stay w’itb her, his same noble
nature was exhibited in making his
sister and her family of little ones
happy. His health seemed really
better, and on the night before his
death he was full of cheer and hope,
and imparted life to all around. On
Tuesday morning he took a romp
with the children, then sat down
and enterei into conversation with
Mrs. Campbell, and while chatting
as brother and sister love to talk af­
ter long separation, he instantly
fell dead.
“ He came and went like a dream.
How sad and mysterious. The great-
unknown future can alone interpret
its meaning. This case reminds us
in some features of the widow’s son
in the blessed book, and we felt as
we gazed upon his- cold, still form,
that ii we had the power we would
have said Young man I say to thee
arise. O God! pity a mother’s bro­
ken heart.

Almighty Creator, who made Hea­
ven and Earth, and created man in
Tour own image as the Ruler of this
Earth:
Ye have even done more for man
than this; while animals feed on
grass and water, You taught Your
servant Noah, how to make wine;
even when he used it to excess You
did not chastise him.
-Your only Son, Jesus, at the wed­
ding at Cana, after the wine was all
drank, made wine from water, so
chat the pleasure of the guests should
not be marred. The Great Reform­
er, Luther, said: “ Who does not
love wine, women and song, remains
a fool his whole life;” and all great
men have drank of the wiDe You
have given Your children on earth.
Now, we beseech thee, oh Lord,
look at these ..women who are not
thankful for Your gifts; they want to
level your children with the beast,
and force them to drink water like
the ox. While these women keep up
style in over dress, and other extrav­
agances not necessary to our welfare,
forcing their husbands into bank­
ruptcy, leaving them in despair of
all the loveliness of Your world,
quite often forcing them to suicide,
oil Loi’d, look at these ladies- they
have not even the color in their faces
You gave them, but are sinning
against you, not being satisfied with
the beauties of nature, they paint up
their faces. You can also perceive
they have not the form You bestow­
ed upon them; no, they wear humps
on their backs like camels; see their
head gear of false hair, and when
they open their mouths notice their
false teeth.
These ladies want husbands who
will silently submit to all of this
without making use of the power
You bestowed upon man, that wom­
an should obey him. And they do
not wish to bear any of the burdens
of married life; they are too lazy to
raise chil Iren, and you, oh Lord,
who know all things, You know what
they commit; knowing that their race
will soon die out, which will be a
blessing to all mankind. These la­
dies who are so full of meanness and
mischief, take courage and are try­
ing to overthrow Your regulations.
Oh Lord, have pity on them and
bring them back to You; take the
folly out of their heads and give them
brains instead, so that they can per­
ceive their own foolishness.
For
Thy sake,—Amen.
G iv e t h e G ir l s a C h a n c e . — The
only fair way for parents to bring
up their children is to give the girls
an equal chance with the boys. We
mean to educate them as they do
the boys, and prepare them' in like
manner in all respects to rely upon
and support themselves. This is the
only true solution of the much vex­
ed question of woman’s rights. The
strong tendency of the age is to re­
move all the disabilities, social as
well as legal, which have heretofore
prevented women frorfi competing
successfully with men in. all the dif­
ferent professions and industries.—
A girl, therefore, should be brought
up in accordance with this spirit, .
taught that ’tis upon herself she
should learn to rely on reaching that
age at which boys strike out into the
world; and not to lean helplessly
upon father or brother, waiting for
that future model husband who is to
come some day to provide her with
“ au establishment.”
A gentleman met a half witted 'Iad
iu the road, and placing in oneof his
hands a six pence and a penny, ask­
ed him which of the two he would
choose. The lad replied. that- .he
“ wouldn’t be greedy, he keep the
Jittlest.”

I n a H u r r y . — A young couple e n ­
tered Justice Lentell’s Court room,
at Oakland, Cal., on Thursday last,
| while a civil case, was in progress,
■ aud presented before his HonoF a '
marriage license, requesting him to
join them together in the holy bonds
of wedlock. ‘Just take a sett,’ said
the Judge, glancing up paternally
j over his spectacles, at the auxious
face of the would be Benedick. ‘ I ’ll
j be through soon, and then we’ll fix
; you all right.” The twain deposited
themselves upon the sofa, with au
! overshadowing gloom on their coun­
tenances. They were iu a hurry and
did not want to wait. After fidget­
ing around awhile, the young man
Stepped up to his Honor and said:—
‘Judge, I guess I can’t wait any lon­
ger, and I ’ll go somewhere else and
get spliced.’ ‘ Oh well,’ said the
Judge, with a me fry smile over­
spreading his countenance, ‘ we’ll let
this case wait a little for you. Step
down Mr. "Witness;” aud the good
hearted Judge proceeded to make
the impatient couple one forthwith.
T h e B oy a n d h i s D o g . —A Detroit
newspaper tells .this pretty little
story: A boy about ten years of age
leading a lively little dog, called at
the central station and asked if that
was the place where they shot dogs.
Being answered in the affirmative,he
said: “ Well please shoot my poor
little Dan. He’s an awful good dog,
and plays with the baby all day, but
father’s deaf and mother’s sick, and
I can’t raise money to get a license.”
Then, turning to the dog,, the boy
.lifted him up tenderly and stroked
him, saying: “ Poor Dan, how Billy
will cry when I tell him you’re dead.’
Great big tears rolled down the boys
face, and in a short time those arou'nd
him made up a purse sufficient to
save his dog, and a person went
with him alter the license.
The
hoy’s eyes fairly sparkled at his un­
expected lick, and speaking to the
dog, be cried out:
“ You’re saved,
Dan! you’re saved; let’s go right
home to Billy!”
A G r a n g e r ’ s D r e a m .— A Granger
dreamed that he died.
He went
straight to the spirit world; he knock- .
ed at the gate of the New Jerusalem,
and it was opened unto him. The
books were opened, be was . asked:
“ Did you ever belong to any secret
society?” “ I did —to the Grangers.”
“ Then, sir. yon can’t be admitted;
depart.” He then went to the door
of the bottomless pit, where the same
questions were again asked him by
the Devil, aud again he was told to
depart. After he had gone a little
way off he was accosted by the home­
ly ruler of the pit, when the follow­
ing propositions were made: “ Stran­
ger,” said Nick, “ I will not admit
you here, they do not want you in
heaven, but I will sell you two hun­
dred barrels of brimstone for cash,
ten per cent, off, and you can start a
little hell of your own, with no
agents or middle men.;’
As two children were playing to­
gether little Jane got angry and
pouted. Johnny said to her, “ Look
out, Jane, or I ’ll take a seat up there
on your lips.”
“ Then,” replied
Jane, quite cured of her pouts, “ I ’ll
laugh and you’ll fall off.”
An Illinois woman, when they first
began to have Congressmen at large
out there, bearing the fact alluded
to, straightway rushed into the kitch­
en, exclaiming, “ Sarah Jane, don’t
leave the clothes out to-night, for
there’s a Congressman at large.”
An Oswego paper describes a fire
by saying that “ the red flames danc­
ed iu the heavens and flung their
fiery arms about like a black funeral
pall until Sam Jones got on the roof
aud doused them out with a pail of
water.”
Two Milesians were standing at
the Fairmount water works, watch­
ing the big wheels splashing the wa
ter, when one of them, remarked:
“ Mike, isn’t this a quare country,
where they have to grind their water
before they can use it?”
John Randolph met a personal on
emy in the street one day, who refus­
ed to give him half the sidewalk,
saying that he never turned out for
a rasca/l.
“ I d o ,” said Randolph,
