8ATUBDAY, JAN- 3,1891
Write it 1891.
A regular, old time winter.
Capt. WT. B. Colston entered upon
the duties of Clerk of the Circuit
Court on the 1st inst.
We arc indebted to the Baltimore
American and the Wheeling Intel
ligencer and the Register for hand
some calendars.
Gen. F. F. Spinner, the famous
War Treasurer of the United States,
and whose signature was always a
marvel to experts, died at Jackson
villc, Florida, on the 31st inst. His
age was about 83 years.
The years failures as reported by
the commercial agencies for the year
1890 are 10,907 in number, being
bat 25 greater than in the year 1886,
when the number was 10,882. The
liabilities, however, show a very
large increase over 1889, being
$189,009,000 as against $148,000,
000, an increase of $41,000,000.
These are the largest liabilities since
1884, when they amounted to $226,
000,000. In Canada the failures for
the year are 1,847 in number as
against 1,877 the year previous.
The liabilities are $18,000,000 in
1890, against $14,000,000 in 1S89.
AN INDIAN WAIl.
The present indications arc, that
there will be a fierce, bloody and
destructive war with the Indians.
There has already been severe fight
ing and in one battle with B'g Foot’s
followers, more Indians were killed
than in any fight for 23 years. Many
of the blue coats also passed into the
beyond, including Captain Wallace,
who was with Custer's 7th regiment at
the famous massacre, though he was
with Reno’s troop. The seventh
evidently remembered that, and great
bravery was exhibited, fighting at
the close range of thirl)' feet, until
the sab!e warriors gradually gave
way, leaving nTore than a hundred of
their number dead on the field. That
was a weird thought expressed by
‘the late Mr. Sitting Bull, to wit:
that, God Almighty made him an In
dian, but nobody could make him
an agency Indian The old fellow
forgot to add “that some one might
make him a dead Indian. The finale
may possibly result in almost total
extinguishment of their race. But
what is to be done ? They will not
farm. They will not work and ra
tions are issued to them at the peo
ple’s expense, to maintain them in
idleness. Schools are maintained to
instruct their children, and an army
kept to prevent their devilment, but
they will only fight, and that forces
the enforcement of the law. Either
civilization or savagery must suc
cumb and it is not a hard problem to
decide, which ?
1890—1891.
1890 belongs to tbe past. What
ever of energy and labor br.s been
experienced, or laziness or tlirift
lessness manifested, of duty per
formed or neglected, tbe record
is closed and is as a scaled book.
Those who have builded wisely and
well, will find all there to their credit,
those who have neglected their op
portunities will find all there to their
shame, but improvement can be
made by each and possibly a better
record be made by both during 1891.
Wc Lope so. As a community we
Lave prospered. Many improve
ments have been maoe and new en
terprises established, and more in
process of development. Many
kind hearts have ceased their throb
bing, many sterling forms have ceas
ed their earthly labors and passed
away into another existence, leaving
to us who come after and travel the
same road, the assumption of the
labors they had undertaken and the
fulfilment of the duties rest
ing upon mankind. May we all
have the strength, fortitude and pa
tience to do the work in a God lov
ing, noble, and manly manner. Wish
ing all, every blessing, happiness and
all the prosperity that can be crowd
ed into the New Year, we quote in
conclusion and as worthy of preser
vation tbe following beautiful poem
from the pen of Joseph Whitcomb
in Leisure Hours:
‘‘And thou, Old Year, art dying! The com
mon end
Hath found thee out to lay thy hoary head
Beside the rest. Since Adam g time the
world
Hath eoen six thousand of thy tribe grow old
And gray beneath December’s blast and then
From out existence drop ’mong other things
That were. 'T is very fit—nay, 'tis a debt
We one ourselves and thee, to note thy
death
And honor thy departure; aye. but not
With bowing head, nor quivering lip, nor
tears,
Nor Bighg, nor cable suit—all there we leave
To woe funereal. Our parti ng gri-f
Will be the mild and mellow sort that needs
More wholesome ve.t. Soor, the broad
city, rapt
With revelry and plied with giddy ma que,
Will sound thy knell from the steam-throat
ed whistle,
And the melancholy horn—if so be
The tariff'* grip on tin hath not bereft
Thy obsequies and cot tbe small boy’s ne.me
From out the mo .rrer's list. Haik I thy
hist hour
Already strikes—G*x>d bye! hero comes tby
eon,
New-1 om atd ebiieteted Eighteen Ninety
One;
Ail bail, gay youngster I Come, let’s have
n bout,
Aod dtink tbe old man's peace who's just
stepped out.”
Never Thought of Fishing.
When Henry M. Stanley lectured
in Scranton on Wednesday evening
of last week an informal reception
was held, and many people availed
themselves of the opportunity of
shaking the explore!’s hand. Among
the number was Mr. E. E. Hen
drick, a wealthy manufacturer of
Carbondale, who stopped and said :
“Mr. Stanley, one of the things in
your book, ‘In Darkest Africa,’ that
interested me most waB your vivid
account of the sufferings of 3'our
party in ‘Starvation Camp,’ but one
thing I never could understand.
When your men were dying for want
of food why didn’t they fish since
they were so near the river?” Mr.
Stanley's face was a stucl3'. He
looked at his questioner as if dazed
by a blow. “ \Vby 1” he exclaimed,
and then hesitated in evident sur
prise and consternation for several
moments; “why, I don’t believe
any one ever thought of it 1” The
hero of the Dark Continent, wLo
has commanded admiration because
he knew so often just what to do at
critical times, confesses that with
food within his reach he did not see ■
it when starving. Mr. Hendrick
moved on with the parting injunc
tion : “Mr. Stanley, the next time
you form an exploring part}', take a
Yankee with you.”

An Alleged Cure for a Cancer
San Francisco, Dec. 28.—G. W.
Graniss, executor of the estate of
Mrs. Gen. George W. Cullum, de
ceased, has disposed of the residence
real estate in this city belonging to
the deceased; and will shortly for
ward proceeds, amounting to $40,
0C0, to the New York Cancer Hos
pital. The value of the estate in
this city was originally $150,000, and
$110,000 is already forwarded for
the maintainance of the hospital in
accordance with the wishes of the
deceased, by whom it was founded
and whose death was the result of a
cancer. The property here was ac
quired by Gen. Henry W. Ilallock in
early days while secretary of Cali
fornia. After his death, in 1872, his
widow married General Cullum.
Col. Graniss, as executor of the
estate, has had occasion to examine
into the methods of treating cancer,
and in this connection, it is stated,
believed he has found in the discov
ery of a San Francisco physician a
genuine remedy for the disease. The
testimony of a number of persons
who have been treated and cured
has been taken, and three pronoun
ced cases of cancer from the New
Yark hospital are now on the way
to San Francisco in charge of a
prominent surgeon from New York
to be operated upon and to decide
whether the treatment shall be in
troduced into the New York nospi

A Monster Jewel.—Speaking of
diamonds, I saw at the Grand Un
ion garden party at Saratoga what
is said to be the largest single piece
of jewelry ever made in this coun
try. It is two and a half to four
inches wide and at least sight inches
long. It was worn by the wife of a
rich sporting man named Hankins,
of Chicago, and one of the most
noted jewelers of the country tells
me that it is worth more than $15,
000. It consists of a great butter
fly with outstretched wings, made of
diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sap
phires. It is the largest butterfly
ever made, and it containes 200 dia
monds. The butterfly has a body
made of a great Hungarian opal, and
the tail of the butterfly is of emer
alds.
This is fastened to a diamond
necklace, and it rests just at the
edge of the collar-bone, with the tail
extending down on the bosom of the
wearer’s decollete dress. Fastened
to the body of the butterfly and
hanging down below it is a great
oval mass of gold and diamonds as
big around as a door plate, which
rests upon the chest and which ex
tends pretty well below Plimsoll's
line. The exact dimensions of this
ornament are 5£ inches long by 2|
inches wide. The base is of solid
gold and there is a blazing ring of
76 large diamonds around the edge.
Upon the face of the gold door plate
is Mrs. Hankins’s monogram in dia
monds, and the whole ornament
weighs over a pound. Every time
Mrs. Hankins breathes she lifts this
$15,000 worth of gold and diamonds
and every time she sighs this fortune
goes down and then rises spasmodi
cally upward.— Cincinnati Star.

Cincinnati, 0., 12, 23d.
We are having fine weather, have
had no snow yet, beyrond a little
squall, it is just cold enough for good
health, trade has been unusually
brisk for the past two weeks, there
is heavy buying for the Christmas
I trade. There will be a decline in
business from the first of January
until the first of March, unless the
winter should continue mild.
In the mercantile business we find
almost r!1 of ware a shade
higher here u.au in the East. Some
of the articles for table use are much
higher this year than usual, on ac
count of failure of last year’s crop.
Apples are worth $6 per barrel, po
tatoes $3.50, canned fruits are high,
but vegetables are about their usual
price, upon the whole, living is
about as cheap here as it is in Berke
ley. We buy the best of beef on the
market, or at the grocery store3, at
5 to 10 cents, butter 25 cts., eggs
27 cts, flour $5, coal $2.75 per ton,
sugar coffee, tea, &c., compare with
prices in the East.
As you know, I have never been
a Methodist class leader, a Presby’
terian elder, or a United Brethren
exhorter, yet I have a profound re
spect for the Sabbath, and I cannot
get the consent of my better nature
to fracture the fourth commandment
more than is actually necessary.
I think you will agree with me that
while this 'city is on American soil
it is not truly a city' of Americans.
Cincinnati lias 10 delegates in the
House of Representatives, and nine
of them are Catholics, this will ex

If a man wants to be elected to a

oppose the foreign element of Cin
cinnati in their do as they please on
Sunday, it was that that defeated Mr.
Foraker two years ago, and it will
defeat any one else be lie Democrat
