THE STANDA-RD. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 11,1879.

The Mormon population of Utah is estimated at 125,000. The Ohio elect too occurs next Tuesday. I>x»k out for %. tremendous shower of republican votes. - Ho: cholera has made its appearance in’ ibe Miami Valley, Ohio, and the democrat* arc taking fresh courage. Monticello Democrat: The newspapers an',talking about ‘‘booms” but the greatest and gramlest ‘‘boom” to the newspapers are prompt laying subscribers. The Illinois legislature recently passed a law exempting newspapers from taxation. Also-to exempt from taxation the capital stock, of all manufacturing companies. ‘ ludianapolis Journal: From present indications democrats will be “the boys in blW’ after next Tuesday. The lowa and Ohio elections will make them hlue enough. Monticello Democrat: Chicago is preparing to give Grant a big reception. The biggest reception Grant ever received was at Appomatox. lie was the host oil that occasion, and did his honors well. ' -

Colorado chimes in with the -republican chorus and echoes back the refrain of victory. The election in that state for supreme judge occurred on the Bth instant, resulting in the choice of Beck, the republican candidate, by about 5,000 majority. acknowledges receipt of a fine engraved portrait of'Quincy A. 11 ussier, cditoi of the Warsaw Republican. The Republican is one of the handsomest and best newspapers in tbe state, and in this respect it bears a striking resemblance to the man who presides at the helm of its editorial columns. Crown Point Cosmos: President Hayes was heartily received by the people at South Bend, and Laporte, as he pu.-sed through those cities last week. At Laporte, he was introduced to the people by Major Caikins, our congressman. The Major also iutrodueed Mrs. , Hayes to the people as a bigger man than the President. New York Independent: “We do not know how the Republicans can better serve the cause of their part) - than to print and scatter broadcast throughout the country tbe recent speeches of President Hayes. Taken in connection with his veto messages they form the best campaign literature of the times." Correct, Mr. Independent.

Crown Point Cosmos: The democratic papers say that Dan Yorhees is making speeches in Ohio, and that he Has the Republican party by the throat and is mopping the ground with it. There don't seem to be any use for other Democratic speakers over there if that is the case; but still the democrats are calling in all the aid they - can get. WinatnaC Republican*. The Democracy try to gather comfort from the fact that the Republican candidates for governors in Maine and California are elected by a minority of all the votes cast, and try to make a hobby of this. Docs it occur to our democratic brethren that J. D. Williams lacked 8,000 votes of having a majority in 1877, and their state ticket lacked 13,000 of a majority in 1878? Facts arc facts. The: Indians are again committing depredations on the frontier aud there threatens to be a general war. A panic has seized the citizens and miners of western Colorado which has resulted in the abandonment of their ranches and homes to seek safety elsewhere. The miners within thirty miles of LeadviUe hare been driven from their camps by the Utes, and a battle between the latter and Payne’s command is daily expected.

Neil Buitjess, the fatuous impenon itor of fetnale characters, who is playing •• Widow,” in Nasby's “Widow Bedott,” was pressed for time to catch a traiH at Lafayette last week. Having but 10 minutes to make the train, performance, and it requiring not less than 90 to his habiliments, Mr. Burgess threw himself, into his carriage in big stage female garb, took his seat in the train in the most approved feminine fashion, and so traveled so the end of his route. . The passengers wgarded the queer bonnet and old-fashioned dress with some merriment, but no one sop. posed that it, w*» any other but a woman wonderfully and fearfully made. He entered into thespirit of the thiag completely, improving the oppprtanity to determine whether his personation wbttld do aa well in broad day-light, as under gas. It was mid to have been a very funny performance.—[E*. . < —j'.'Sow tell me candidly, are you guilty?’’ asked a lawyer of his client in the county-jaiL “Why, do yon suppose |’<l be fool cm ugh to hire a lewder if I was innow.x.t" - ' * « It X

REMINGTON POT-POURRI.

[From our special correspondent.] The last beard Irina Jim tfheffler be was in south-western Minnesota and still traveling westward. James 8. Irwin is patting in steam power for bis grain elevator to be used instead of horsepower, as formerly. Jim can’t stko I a slow gait. \ O. W. Church is under the necessity of erecting huge cribs for storing tbs coming corn crop. Seven car lands of lumber are to be used in their construction. ,» Another M. D„ J. N. Castle, of Keotlan 1, has located in Remington. This gives as four doctors now, to regulate end keep/ in running order, our mortal frames. / Will Mowrer has. returned ami taken charge again of tbe engine in the Hathaway elevator. Will is s good engineer and is welcomed back by hosts of 'friends. H. C. Lipprant, a former well known resident of this locality, but now of Crawford Co., 111., is here this week, looking after his interests in the 6hape of some property upon which he still holds claims. Last week a big scare in the schools was caused by the report that one of the pupils has been taken down with scarlet fever. Later developments showed it to be only scarlet rash, and those scholars that left school came back and everything is quiet again. The rain This week kept many of the citizens of Remington aad vicinity from atr tending the Rensselaer fair. A large number had made calculations to attend on Wednesday and Thursday, but gave it up on account of the weather and probable condition of the roadq.

The “unedueated cuss” at the helm of the Reporter, made a great improvement in tlyit paper, last week. Compared with former issues, it rauged far ahead, both in quantity and of local news. It was needed and is thoroughly appreciated. Education without common sense dou’t always make a bright record. . On the other hand, common sense rightly used, either with or without education, is sure to succeed. Our temperance meetings are not conducted in a m. nner that is calculated to be productive of much good. • Personal recrimination, taunts, and passing the lie back aud forth are too frequent. It is extremely hard for a few to hold out faithful and no matter how sly they may be, their failings are found out and charged upon them. How queer it is thht nearly everyone who drinks, is so very sure that he does not show it. A aid mistake. One small drink will show itself in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred. But then everybody thinks he is the

one hundredth.

Cause for Alarm.

A.boy, apparently very much agitated, rushed into a house yesterday and Baid to the lady. . i ' “1 don’t want to alarm yer, but I’ve got big news. The man sent me up from the livery stable to tell yer.” • “Good heavens, what is it?” '■Why,.yon know your little boy Aleck, what the man canst keep outen the livery stable ’round the corner?’’ “Yea well?” “I told Aleck just now not to go inter the stable the horses, bat he wouldn’t mind me—” |- “Oh, dear! What has happened.” “He said he wanted ter see what a mule ’ud do when yer .tickled its heels with a straw.” “Oh heavens'” gasped the lady and clung to the mantel for support. “Well, sir, yer boy Alec got a straw, tnuck up bchin' a sorrel mule, tickled him on the hoels an’ ” The lady started for the door. “An the blamed critter never lifted a hoof,” called the boy. “Neveras much as switched its tail. It's a mighty good thing for Alec that he didn't, too; an* I thought I’d come up and tell yer.” And he dodged eut at the side entrance.—[Cincinnati Enquirer.

Home Adornment Pays.

Other things being equal, a country fßrm house, with •an abundance of shade and fruit trees, with sbiubbery and vines, and small fruits and bloom of flowers about, will always command a much higher price in the market than one bare of these attractions; so that time and money spent in these improvements make ample pecuniary returns. And if this were not so, a rosy, ebeerful home is far more jestful and refreshing to the weary worker than a bleak, barren and dreary one. One gets paid as he goes aiong for his toil and his struggle, when be sees his trees coming into fruit, his vines laden with grapes, his currant and raspberry bashes heavy with luscious fruit, and tastes the beat: ties his industry and forethought have secured.—[Ex.

Profit by Experience

Farmers will remember the difficulty they had last spring in securing good seed corn, many having to plant two and three times before they had a “good stand.’’ The result is that a great deal of corn throughout the whole county was not sufficiently advanced when the frost came, and no doubt there will be much unmerchantable corn harvested this year. Tbe question now is, will farmers profit by the experience bought at such great cost? We urge upon to go through their fields early, select the ripest ears of corn, haug them in some dry, cool place, until they are thoroughly dried. If this is done there can be no danger but the seed will germinate.-r— [Fowler Era. lo learn to do the littles is the true way to the doing of the great. Life is not two or three great things, but a multiplicity of little ones. To be faithful in that which is least, is the high road to ruling over much.
