It took him two days to find it. *V&*It is estimated that 125.000 VOtois remained away from the polls tft the recent election in New York. How would it do to deprive a man of the right of suffrage who neglects to vote say for two successive yearsF A citizen who neglects this high duty should not complain if lie be debarred fffbm exercising it. "It has been discovered in Wash­ ington that Charles Foster, of Indinn- wpolip, who has taken the oath of office and sailed for Europe to enter upon his duties as consul at Eldcrfe!d. Ger- tltany, was not a citizen of the United States when he took the oath of office, tipd that it will be necessary to re call |um. It appears that bis naturalization tint?* only from Nov. ,4.1885.

The afreets are nightly paraded by bands of men and women. Repub­ licans and Democrats, whites and blacks mingle together ii prayer meetings and mass-meetings. All this Iff becatue an election will be held on the 25th of the p-resent month, on the qtiestlou whether the sale of liquor tball be suppressed in Atlanta. The iale of liquor has already been prohib­ ited in many counties in Georgia, through tbe operation of local option laws, and the temperance people now iMend to attack the cities. Upn's First War SptcA. Gen. LoganVfiret speech on the war that reached tbe country was his ad* dress to the regiment o'f which Gen. Grant was colonel. They were three months' men, and their time *as near­ ly out when Grant became their com- mander. - b4 was anxious that they should re-enlist, and sent for John B. McClellan and Logan to address them. Hie fire and enthusiasm of Logan's speech induced almost the entire regi­ ment to take service "for three years, or during the war," Tho speech was .widely copied, and became the begin­ ning of Logan's national reputation. He resigned a position in congress from a district that gave him 20,000 majority to enter the army. General Grant was of the opinion that General Logins course was Invaluable to the Union cause, by reaisor.'of its effect on the wavering element in the west southwest, and especially in Southern Illinois, where the rebel element was H«ry strong. HI 11 Civil Service Reform. So far as the National Administra­ tion is concerned, it is given cut that the civil service reform law will be rigid.y enforced, and the. organs of the Democratic party urge young Dem­ ocrats to attend the exam­ inations, when, passir.g, .they wiU^ surely win position in the public ser vice. This Is very encournging to tlio e "young Democrats" who are drsirous of entering the public service. It shows that those "older Democrats,", who have, presumably, enjoyed this patronage, will be set a«ide And 5ret, all things being equal, one would think tat it is they, and not the young, tlie, able bodied members of the party who should -le tak*n care of through tlie taxes ie\ied upon the peo­ ple generally. But w|.iy not look down* deep into this civil service reform scheme and see what 1%, really, to be gained by Itf It originated, chiefly, In the scramble for office. Will it put a stop tp the growing desire for public office? Does it do anything more than change the proceeding? On an aver age, heretofore, there were one hun­ dred applicants for each office. Now under the new civil service examina­ tion scheme, there will be nn equal number or more applicants for examin­ ation. ^o what Is gained as regards the scramble? It Is true the officials who heretofore had tlie dispensation of the patronage, are relieved, to a great extent, of the annoyance they suffered, and that is a blessing to tl em. But the annoyance* remains all the same, and is thrown upon the shoulders of others--the civil service examiners. And. too, they are to be paid for their services, which makes an additional draft upon the publlcHreasury. There is one great, re .l reform yet tocome, and that is gratuitous public service, or what is very near to it. Citizens are required to perform mili­ tary ati l jury duty. In the latter ca«e they are drawn by lot. W hen the mass of citizens become educated* as they should be, perhaps they will be drawn upon to do a certain number of months work as clerks, postmasters, etc, at a mere nominal recompense, and then there will be less scrambling. We see no other way to stop it except to abolish the offices. Civil service ex amination* will not stop It. Civil service reform is a fraud. The state board of Agriculture, In view of tlie charge "by persons of unquestioned integrity and responsi­ bility and who are in a position to speak authoritively from tbeir personal knowledge, that a large number of so- called 'creameries' do In fact use the product of the beef and the hog in the manufacture of a product which they sell upon the market as and for genuine butter" has required all exhibitors to file affidavits as to the purity of their butter and will make void Any premi­ um which may have been awarded any adulterated product. The board has ordered that no individual, fi-m or cor­ poration, engaged to any extent what­ ever In the manufacture of any iruita lion of or alleged substitute for genu­ ine butter or cheese, =hall henceforth be eligible to compete for premiums offered or authorized bv it to he offered for butter or cheese.--Elgin Courier. 10"A weather prophet uamed Blake (Hakes the following predictions for the coming winter: Tbe weather in /December will be quite cold and win­ ter like, with a number of severe win­ ter storms. There will be a partial tbaw the last of the month, during which there will be some rains in por- Hons of the Northern States. While there will be some pleasant winter weather, yet taken as a whole it will be a cold, stormy month. January, , 1886, will be still colder, and all the precipitation of tbe month,except pos­ sibly tbe few firet days of the month, will be in the shape of snow. During the last days o»' January or the first days of February. 1886, there will be violent electric storms that will aerl- ously luterfere with working telegraph .lines, and at the same time there will be extensive aurora* visible both in .North America and In Europe. These •lectrlc storms will continue for sever •1 dhys and be quite Intense, and, un­ der the peculiar circumstances of their appearance, they will be the harbinger , of the end of winter. February will be a stormy month, taken as a whole; and during the change from cold win • ter weather to rainy spring weather, there will be a violent conflict in the ; elements, resulting In a heterogeneom .Mixture of rain, snow, sleet and hail. :with the rain gradually advancing and ' gaining the mastery of the snow. ; These rains and melting snows during the latter part of February will result - in extensive ftoods, which will probab- do the most damage in the following * month of March. "March will come in • like a lamb," with vigorous growing " weather and a very early spring. The ' lumbermen in the north will have ! lenty of snow during the latter part f tbe winter, though they can not depend upon It later than the first of ' ilarch, except perhaps in the ezireme 4 north. Ice-men had better put up ice la January, as they will then have les* snow to contend with than in February, while in the latter part of February the Ice will begl i to rot and be too soft to |t«ep, except In the ex-UIM nortlu 8$rThe university which senator Stanford proposes to found on the Pacific coast with an endowment of twenty millions will be the richest In­ stitution in America, Senator Stan­ ford* ancestors settled In central New York a hundred and fifty years ago. He was borne near Albany March 9th, 1824, and was a student in Cazenovia Seminary In 1844. The report of the first assistant postmaster genera) for the year ending June 30th, has just been made public. Ifc shows that there are now 51,252 post- offices in the country, and that during the whole year 11.203 new postmasters were appointed. Thi9 includes about four months of the Cleveland adminis­ tration and eight months of the Arthur administration. JOHNSBURGH HENRY MILLER, --DEALBB IN-- WARREN LEUND, whom everybody knova as the succeastal aaaagerof tbe Largist Hotsl Entirprim of America, says that while a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Cape Horn, in the early days of emigration to Cal­ ifornia, he learned that one of the officers oft the vessel had cured himself, during the voy­ age, of an obstinate disease by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparillat Staee then Mr. LKLAXD baa recommended ATBB'S SARSAPARILLA in many similar eases, and he has never yet, beard of its fail­ ure to effect a radical cure. Some years ago one of Mr. LELAND'8 (arm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling Or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor­ rible itching of tbe skin, with burning and darting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. The leg became enor­ mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LELAND'8 direc­ tion, was supplied with AVER'S SARSAPA­ RILLA, which allayed the paiu and irritation, healed the sores, removed tho swelling, aad completely restored the limb to use, Mr. LELAXD has personally used Ayer's Srvsaparilla for Bheumatlim, with entire incccst; and, after careful observation, declares that, la bis belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to il for the cure of Liver Disorder*, Gout, the effects of high living, Bali Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all the various forms of blood diseases* * We have Mr. LELAND'8 permission to invite all who may desire further evidence in regard to the extraordinary curative powers of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA to see him person^ ally either at his mammoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel,. Broadway, 27th and 28th Streets, New York. Mr. LELAND'S extensive knowledge of the good done by this uneqnalled eradicator of blood poisons enables him to give inquirers much valuable information.
