This is a most appropriate time to call
attention to the fact that the 8alem pas
eenger depot building is remote from the
business portioo of the city, and it is cer-
! tainly not in accord with our importance
as the capital citr of the state and as ex
tensive shipping point. Our long patience
surely entitle our claims for a new depot
and a better location to consideration.

Ex.
A letter from an old sea captain con
tains the statement that the low of the
steamer Yaqnina City is attributable to
whiskey. It stated that the tag-beat
men drank the rnhnkey. It was a "ro
hihition" day in Newport, the event of
the city election ; and had it not been for
this (act it is probable that the men
would not have lieen induced to go in
through a back door and Uen filled up till
they were drunk.
This is a big country. Our members
of congre have to travel further than
the most distant officer of the Roman em
pire had to go to render an account f his
stewardship. The congressmen's mileage
accounts are a geographical study. In
the case of Mr. M. A. Smith, the new
' delegate from Ariatona, the sum of $16H0
will be paid to reimburse him for his ex
penses from Tombstone and back again.
Our own Congressman, Binger Hermann,
who comes next on the list, will be paid
13. The two San Francisco members,
Messers. Morrow and Felton, who will
travel 6346 miles each, will receive $12i!.
Mr. Crain, of Texas, who lives 2000 miles
from Washington,, will be allowed $$00.
The smallest mileage credit will be to Mr.
Lee, of Alexandria, Va., who will succeed
Mr. Barbour of that plate. Alexandria
is eight miles distant from Washington
according to the sergeant-at-arms' com
putation. Mr. Lee will therefore receive
the sum of 3 20. Under the law each
representative is entitled to mileage to
nd from Washington at the rate of twen-
ty cents a mile. .
Most people have a curio-ia way of criti
cising newspaper men. If a writer is in
dustrious they say that he im'pairs the
value of his work by doing too much of it.
If he is not industrious they say that he
would be a valuable man if it was not
for his laziness. If he writes in a breesy
style they point out that it would be much
' better to write in a grave and dignified
ay,andif his writings are grave and
dignified it is generally admitted that tliey
lack dash and spirit. There never was a
newspaper man who was perfectly satis
factory to the people until after death,
and there never will be. The editorial
grinder who desires the unmodified en
dorsement of the people can do nothing
better than to die. Horace Greely ia now
referred to as the giant of editors, but he
was so shamefully abused during his life
that he sickened and died. The only edi
tor who were worth anything are dead.
Editor are like Indians. The only good
Indian ia the dead Indian.
A FEE OF $6,000,000.
A young gentleman of prepossessing
appearance, who is well known in Louis
ville society and ia a familiar figure at
Alexander's hotel, where he ia tempo
rarily residing, is Mr. Sherrod Williams,
a wealthy Calif ornian. Mr. Williams ia
bright, genial and companionable. He
has been in Louisville for several months,
and aa he is fond of Kentucky, his stay
here maybe said to be indefinite.
It is entirely natural for the young Cal
f ornian to love Kentucky and. to feel at
home here. "His father, Thomas. H.
Williams, was a native of Wayne county,
this- state, who went to California in
149. The elder Williams settled in Vir
ginia City, wtere he was, after a few
years, elected to the office of prosecuting
attorney. Mr. Williams was retained as
the general attorney for a large mining
company, whose headquarters were at
Virginia City. This company became
heavily involved, and was on the verge
of bankruptcy. Mr. Williams learned its
condition, and, as he had a claim of
$1,500 against the company for legal ser
vices, he brought suit and attached its
property. His attachment made him a
preferred creditor, and when the prop
erty of the company, consisting solely of
its mines, was sold, Mr. Williams pur
chased it, bidding no more than the
amount of his judgment. He secured a
perfect title to the property, but made no
attempt to develop or dispose of it.
Years passed away, and 'Mr. Williams
had been elected to the office of attorney
general of California. One day he was
approached bv a representative of Flood,
Mackay & O'Brien and asked if he was
not the owner of certain mining property
near Virginia City.
"I am," said Mr. Williams.
"Do you wish to sell h T' inquired the
agent.
"I do not," was the reply.
"Will too Uke $100,000 for it?"
"I Will not," returned Mr. Williams,
who knew the difference between a cow
boy and a cartwheel.
"I will give you $230,000," said the
agent.
"The property is not for sale," said Mr.
Williams.
The agent left, but the next day he
came back and offered Mr. Williams
$500,000 for the property. The offer was
declined.
The negotiations were then taken up
by a member of the firm of Flood, Mackay
& O'Brien. As a result, Mr. Will
iams put his property into the firm,
taking in return a big block of stock.
That stock began to fly like a kite. About
the time it was at its highest Mr. Will
iams sent for his partners and told them
be mas going to sell his shares.
"If you want them," said he, "you
can have them at regular market quota
tions." Thev wanted them and they
took tbem. When the stock had been
transferred, the firm of Flood, Mackay A
O'Brien gave Mr. Williams a check for
$6,000,000. He had waited a good while
to collect his attorney's fee from the in
solvent mining company, but when it did
come it was a crusher.
It was by very considerable odds the
largest fee ever realized by an attorney
in the history of this country. ( Louis
ville Courier Journal.
WATER XIXES.
The Russians believe that the Itusal
kas, or water spirits, are beautiful maid
ens who allure paaeers-by, and if they
catch them tickle them to death in their
crystal halls bdow the waves. During
one week in the year they come to men
for clothes, nd rags and threads are ac
cordingly hung on the trees for their ben
efit. I hiring that week, for fear of offend
ing the Kusalkas ami being punished by
the loss of poultry or cattle, no one must
work or sew or wash linen. When girls
are drowned they become Kusalkas and
the wives of the watery Vodyany, and
when snow melts into flood, or milldaras
are carried away by swollen torrents, men
know that it is due to the matrimonial
revelrv that always attends the celebra
tion o! marriage between a mortal and a
spirit of the waters. The idea of possi
ble relation between water spirits and
human beings seems a very obvious cor
ollarv of the idea of human-like things
resident in the water. The idea of their
marrving mortals is at least as reasonable
as the idea of drewning them or tickling
them to death. And with the idea of
such marriage it would be natural to con
iiect the idea of some benefit to accrue
therefrom to the water spirits, as well as
of curious conditions involved in the mar
riage contract. Thus would arise such
stories as Undine and Melasma. Un
dine, for instance, the daughter of the
stream, bv virtue of her marriage with
the knight 1 1 ildebrand .acquires a human
and therefore an immortal soul. He
promises, among other things, never to
bring her near a river, and when he acci
dentally does so loses her forever, to be
by her tickled to death on the eve of his
second marriage. Gentleman's Maga
zine. EDITORIAL FIGHTS OF LONG A(iO.
. New York Mail ami Express: Editors
laugh over . the shots they give and re
ceive nowadays. In the days when
the World was owned by Manton Marble
and the gifted Ivory Chamberlain was
its chief editorial writer, the paper often
contained the fiercest invective against
the Tribune, as well as the most caustic
personal criticism of Mr. Greeley, and
yet Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Greeley
were personal friends. There never was
a more pathetic lament, never a more
remarkable editorial than that which
Mr. Chamberlain wrote for the World on
the death of Mr. Greeley a wild outburst
of grief, a touching revalation of self-reproach
for not having more deeply sym
pathized with Mr. Greeley on the death
of his wife and his other sore trials the
manly grief and tears in print of one of
the most scholarly of editors taking the
reader into bis confidence in the momen
tary disregard of editorial forms. And I
be lit re it was the attention which this
remarkable editorial attracted that led
Mr. James Gordon Bennett to retain Mr.
Chamberlain for editorial duties on the
Herald at a salary of $1 ,000 a month.
POETS AS PRECOCIOUS LOYESS.
: Ovid, was the .great amatory poet of
Rome, and was certainly one ef the great'
est Roman poets. Dante was a great
lover. So also have been Shakespeare,
Goethe and Heine. Poets have been
particularly precocious lovers. Dante
was bat nine years old when, at a : May
day festival, he saw and fell in love with
Beatrice. Canova said be perfectly re
membered having been in love when but
five years old. .
Byron loved first at the age of eight.
He tells us that bis feeling lor Mary Duff
was so violent that he sometimes won
dered if he had ever been really attached
since. His second love was for Margaret
Parker ; this was when he was twelve
years old. Burns was a lad of fourteen
when he first fell in love.
Heine's second love was a very remark
able case. He saw her at a school ex
amination. It is said that the boy was
just declaiming Schiller's "Taucher"
when a lovely girl entered the room be
side her father, who was one of the in
spectors. The boy stuttered, gazed with
large eyes on the beautiful figure, me
chanical lv repeated the verse he bad just
recited, ''And the king and his lovely
daughter beckoned," and was unable to
proceed. In vain the teacher prompted
him ; the boy's senses failed him and be
fell to the floor in a swoon.
Berlioz had his first affection at twelve.
He saw the object of it again at the age
of sixty-one, and a second time fell in love
with her. lie wrote to her : "I have
loved you, I still love you, I shall always
love yon. Ob, madam, I have but one
aim left in the world, that of obtaining
irour affections." Goethe, in bis eld age,
ell in love with a bookseller's daughter.
When Rousseau, then nearly GO years
of age, visited England in 1770 he tell in
love with Lady Cecil Hobart. He wrote
her that be had never had any true love
except for the products of his own fancy,
and declared to her that she Vas the em
bodiment of his ideal. He wrote : "I
had no hope of ever meeting her, had
gived up the eager search for her, when
you appeared before me. It was folly
infatuation, if you like that made me
surrender in a moment to the magic of
your sight ; but I could not but say to
myself : "There she is ; no other woman
ever inspired that thought in me.' "
London Standard.
THE SURGEON'S PHILOSOPHY.
Tbe following comes from a majer of a
Union regiment :
On the day of the retreat of the confed
erates from Gettysburg my regiment oc
cupied an advanced position near the
place where hundreds of the brave en
emy had fallen in the last charge of the
Cemetery hill. A number of us bad got
together and were waiting for coffee,
which one of the servants was preparing,
while we discussed the exciting incidents
of the last three days. The coffee was
brought on in an old tin dipper, black
and smoking, and being much in need of
the desired refreshment we Jagerly held
forth our tin cups and were served all
around. Hardly had sugar from our
haversacks been added, when a breath of
wind blew in our faces a roost intolerable
stench. It was dreadful, sickening; a'ld
most of us put down our cups and lxkjd
about in disgust.
"Those bodies are decora posing over on
tbe hill there, 1 suppose," remarked the
colonel. "There is something like half a
rebel brigade slaughtered just opposite
us."
"Well, I can't taste any thing here but
that horrid smell," the captain said.
"Let us move."
The stench seemed to grow stronger,
and the proposition found favor, except
with the surgeon, a practical old fellow
who was nt easily discomposed. He
rose to his feet, stirring his coffee with
his knife blade, looked critically over
toward the locality of the effluvium, and
observed :
"Pho, pow, boys! a smell more or less
shouldn't interfere with a soldier's break
fast. Now, for my part, I'd tie glad to
eat mine here with the whole confederacy
rotting over yonder."
A SIMJILAB ELECTION BET.
A rather singular tet was made in this
city on the night before election. No
money was wagered, but it was agreed
thet the winner should be privileged at
any time within twelve months to call
upon the loser at any time, night or day,
and in any place, and proclaim in a loud
tone, "I own this man. He dare not
deny it. I possess a secret about his life
that phts him completely in my power.
He dare not refuse to do anything I tell
him. To prove my assertion I will order
him to treat every one within sound of
my voice to champagne." Imagine the
situation, should this be sprung upon the
unfortunate loser in a crowded cafe, or at
a business meeting, or at a banquet! It
was mutually agreed that, no matter how
offensive the tone or manner might be,
the loser dare not resent it. The manner
in which the gentleman who got on the
wrong side of the fence avoids the gentle
man who got on the right side in crowded
places is amusing, to sav the least. He
lias been living in dread since election
day. Philadelphia Press.

WHAT AH I TO DOT
The symptoms of biliousness are tin
happily but too well . known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent.
A bilious man is seldom a breakfast eat
er. Too frequently, alas, he baa an ex
cellent appetite for liquids but none for
solids of a morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at any time ; if it
is not white" and furred, it is rough at all
events.
Tbe digestive system is wholly out of
order and diarrhea or constipation may
be a symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often hemorrhoids or even loss
of blood. There may be giddiness and
often headache and acidity or flatulence.
To correct all this if not effect a cure try
Greks's Alqi st Floweb ; it costs but a
trifle and thousands attest its efficacy.

The First Sign
Of failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General Weariness and Loss of
Appetite, shoo Id auggeat the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro
moting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten jrars ago my health began to fail.
I was troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies pre
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that I could not go up
stairs without stopping to rest. Mr
friends recommended me to try Ayer a
Saraaparilla, which I did, and I am now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
. It. Williams, Alexandria, Minn.
I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, In ray
family, for 8crofnla, and know, if ft ia
taken faithfully, that it will thoronchly
eradicate this terrible disease. I nave
also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an
alterative, and must say that I honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine
ever compounded .W. F. Fowler, M. D., '
D. D. 8., G Renville, Ten n.
Dyspepsia Cured.
It would be impossible for me to de
scribe what I enffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under
the care of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarasparilla
for a short time, my headache disap
peared, and my stomach performed its
duties more perfectly. ' To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
Harley. Springfield, Miss.
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparijla. It
tones and invigorates the system, regu
late tbe action of tbe digestive and
aasimUative organs, and vitalizes tbe
blood. It is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.
