The Democrats of this county have nominated a ticket which should, and undoubtedly will, receive the united support of the party. There is no known reason why each and every can didate cannot rely upon every Demo cratic vote in the county, and there are many reasons for believing that they will draw from the Republicans, more or less, in almost every election district 111 Luzerne. The defeat received by the Democrats last, fall did not discourage tin m. They still count this county as their own liv a safe majority, and the host and most reliable methods they can decide upon will be used to reclaim it. The Republican ticket won last year because of general dissatisfaction among its opponents. The majorities, which varied from 825 for the district attorney to 3,r>00 for the governor and 5,500 for the congressman, show that they were made up largely by Democrats who thought mistakes had been made and took the opportunity on election day to rebuke the party's managers. Under these conditions no one could claim the Democratic defeat as a Republican I victory. It was a Democratic housc , cleaning, in which, unfortunately, many ! good men were turned down with the : barnacles and cancers who were destroy ing Democracy. 'l'llis year, however, a different state of affairs is found. Democrats in Luzerne stand united and present an inbroken front. They have a set of • lean condldates, men whose records • quire no apologies. They are. pledged i.i the principles of the party and to reform the disgraceful and extravagant legislation of Republicans in the county, i'ponsuch a platform and backed, as i hey are. by the best citizens, their chances to win are indeed very good. Personal information concerning the candidates is given in another column. The brief sketches of their lives show that every candidate named by the, con vention is qualified for the olliee he seeks and would HII it creditably and honor ably. Three of the candidates. .Messrs. Stanton, Maloy and Myles, were born in the county, and have grown up within its borders. They certainly can be trusted to guard its fair name as well as their own reputations. Messrs. McLean and Fenner are natives of neighboring counties, hut have spent the greater part of their lives here. Mr. Perkit 8 lirst saw light in Philadelphia, but has been identified with Luzerne long enough to bo almost claimed as one of her own. Important to Guilder* of ItoiiMiS A new act, approved by the governor on June 26, is one ev *rv contractor and builder of houses ought to paste in his hat. The practical effect of the law-is to abolish mechanics' liens. The act pro vides that the latter shall not operate if, before the contractor shall have been or dered to proceed with the work, the owner of the house and contractor shall have en tered into an agreement, which must be Hied in the prothonotary's olliee within ten days after the date thereof, by which, the contractor agrees to ex empt the owner from mechanics' liens. The incut must he entered in a dock et by the prothonotary. The effect of the law will be that dealers in builder's materials can con sult the docket, and if there is such an agreement, they will know how to act lie fore supplying the contractor. Under the old law, if a contractor doesn't pay lor the materials a mechanics' Hen is filed within six months after the con tract is completed and the owner of the house is compelled to pay.

Stories by Congressmen Curtis, Richardson uml Carutli—Funny Experience With Constituent —Old Time Kentucky Preju dices and Practices. [Copyright, 1805.] Ono of the best stories of tho lato war Is told by General Newton Martin Curtis, the representative in congress from tho Og donshurg district of New York. General Curtis is the tallest man ever seen in tho American congress and was the tallest sol dier on the Union side in tho rebellion. His height is 6 feet and 6 inches, and ho has not only the stature but the fromo of a giant. General Curtis has now been four years in congress, and during his service in the house has been on terms of intimate friendship with a largo number of tho southern representatives, especially those who were Confederate soldiers a quarter of a century ago. When asked how it hap pened that ho and so many of tho cx-rebols in congress were on intimate terms, Gen eral Curtis replied: "It all comes about from an incident of the war, and I guess I will have to tell you tho story. In 1850 an cider brother of (mIKM mine, Andrew \ Jackson Curtis, V left our homo up MSiy £2s* \ in York ill \ went down south .flfll chanced one day to go into a mill • lj * n Vicksburg and ejolmi ,rlotorwnntwl t0 ' know what he could do, and my 7 oV\vrv brother ropl i o d GENERAL N. M. CURTIS, that ho Could do almost anything about a mill, hut that his special knack was in running a stationary ongino. 'That is lucky,' responded tho proprietor, 'because I am in need of an en gineer. Suppose you go down and see what you can do with it.' "My brother took charge of the ongino room, where he found things in had shape. The machinery hud not been properly ear ed for and was in need of thorough over hauling. Being a good mechanic, my brother went about liis work in such a way that in a short time lie had brought order out of chaos, and tho proprietor of tho mill was highly delighted. Moreover, my brother was a remarkable man in that ho could make scores of friends wherever ho went. Ho was a big fellow, like my self, and as full of jokes and kindliness us any man in the world. The result of his employment in the mill was that ho soon became a partner in the business and pros pered. He was also one of tho most popu lar men in Vicksburg, notwithstanding his northern origin and his views on tho j slavery question, which I do not suppose i he ever tried very hard to conceal. Along ! in the fifties my brother took yellow fever, ; and though he recovered from that In* died in Now York a few years before the war | broke out, and I took hold to settle up his j estate. While doing this 1 had correspond- | enco with old friends of his in Vicksburg, | and their names became familiar to me. "As you know," continued General Curtis, "I was in the Union army during tho war. Near tho close of the rebellion I was chief of staff of tho Army of the James in tho department of Virginia and North Carolina ami had command in south west Virginia. One of my duties was to send Confederate soldiers to their homes after surrender and also to arrange for transportation for civilians in ease of ne cessity. A few days after the surrender I was in my office when a tall, grizzled Con- I federate came in to make arrangements for sending to their homes a number of Mis | sissippl soldiers. I asked him if lio was | from Mississippi, and he said he was. I j asked him if he knew anybody in Vicks burg, and he said he hud lived there and j know pretty much everybody in town. The ! only name of the former friends of my I brother I could think of at the moment ; was Major Partridge, editor of the Vicks ; burg Whig, and so I said to my caller: ) " 'Then you must knoW Major Par j tvidgo of The Whig}*' i " 'My God, I should say I did!' respond ed tho Mississippian. 'I am Major Par tridge himself.' j "Well, I was glad to see him, and I told him if ho knew of any Vicksburg or Mis j sissippl Johnny Robs in Richmond I ! should like to go to see them. He took mo i to a hotel where quite a number of Con federate veterans were sitt ing ahout wait • ing for transportation to their homos. Just before this a number of Confederate sol -1 diers had been arrested on the charge of ■ having violated their parole, and when I j entered the room where theso Mississippi : mis were they naturally thought 1 had i come to placo them under arrest and they did not give me a warm welcome. But I j soon disabused their minds of this impres sion. saying to them: " 'Men, you need have no fear of mo. I I come to you as a friend. My brother, now j dead, was for eight years a citizen of Vicksburg. As soldiers far away from I your homes some of you may he in need. Your Confederate money is worthless, and you may not he fortunate enough to have coin. If there is nnyTnan here who will j permit me to help him as an individual i and not asastaff officer of the Union army my purse is at his disposal.' "This was replied to by a tall Mississippi soldier, who wore tho epaulets of a briga dier general. In a little speech which showed him to be a man of learning and of heart he thanked mo in behalf of his com rades for my offer and said such a spirit on the part of the conquerors was something they had never dreamed of. He added that J if Union soldiers were to treat their do | featcd foes in this maimer the bitterness I engendered by a long struggle would the j sooner ho effaced. He spoke with deep fool ing, and tho scene with these dusty and tattered veterans gathered around ine and j looking up into my face was one long to j ho remembered. Accustomed as wo all were to scenes of blood and suffering, I something about the eloquent remarks of i the Mississippi brigadier touched our , hearts. There were plenty of moist eyes in the throng." "Did you ever learn who this brigadier was, General Curtis?" | "Yes; his name was Lamar, afterward ! senator, cabinet officer and justice of the supreme court, in later yours I often met | him in this city, and we had many a diu i nor t-ogethor, at which wo talked over the old days." An Able Rousting. "I had a> struftge and funny experience I with a constituent a short time ago," said Congressman Richardson of Michigan. "1 won't tell his name, hut will call him Ilrown for short. Ho hml been employed in the government printing office, had been discharged and came to me for reinstate ment. Ho called on mo many times, and during one of theso calls placed in my hands a bundle of indorsements which I promised to file. His importunity was so great that at last one morning I started to go to the printing office. I had already put 011 my o very oat, when it occurred to me that I had better glance over the papers and indorsements so as to bo able to make an intelligent presentation of the case. I ran through them, and among them found a letter addressed to Secretary Morton. I wondered what that was doing among the papers, and glancing at it saw my name mentioned in it. I read it, and the con tents of the document made my eyes open, I can tell you. It. was evidently not in tended to ho included in that hatch of in dorsements. The letter was from Brown and stated that ho had edited a paper in Michigan, had afterward gone to Nebraska, the secretary's home state, and there con sistently advocated the triumph of the doc triuo of Democracy. This was the prelim inary. It went on to ask an appointment in the department of agriculture, and then tho remainder of the letter was devoted to a very able roasting of myself. "It stated I was 110 D •inoornt and didn't amount to shucks at homo, never earned enough to keep tho pot (toiling, that tho nomination to congress was given 1110 only becauso no ono else wanted it and that there was great regret in tho district whon I was elected. It went on to stato that I did not amount to anything hero in Wash ington, paying no attention to tho affairs of tho district, and that it was owing to my indifference that Brown had not so cured tho position before. As a specimen of tho process of frying conceit from a man over a literary slow fire tho letter was worthy a placo in a seraphook. After I hail perused tho curious document I took off my overcoat and postponed my visit to tho printing office. Tho next day when Brown called there was a see no. Ho was speechless when confronted with tho letter. I told him he need have no concern, how over; that my indignation was lost in ad miration of his and that he must have put that letter among tho others by design, for he could not have adopted any surer way of getting an appointment at the hands of this administration than by abusing a Democratic congressman. 'Mr. Brown,' said I, 'I will allow myself to ho persuaded that you designedly placed this letter among your recommendations, and, with that understanding and know ing you are in desperate straits to secure a placo under tho government, I will see tho .printer and recommend your appointment.' I recommended him, and, by George! tho man who had abused me so energetically got an appointment by virtue of my influ ence. '' Necessity For Nerve. Asher Caruth, who has long been one of tho most famous congressmen from Ken tucky, tells an interesting oxporionco which he had while commonwealth's attorney for tho Louisville district. "Itbecame my du ty while holding that office," said Mr. Ca ruth, "to prosecute a grandson of John G. Crittenden for killing a colored man, and I also had to prosecute a man for killing the grandson of Henry Clay, thus handling eases in which two of the most celebrated families in Kentucky were interested. I secured conviction in each case. The case against young Crittenden gave rise to con- ! siderahlo excitement. If you know any thing about Kentucky, you can imagine tho uproar that would ho created by tho prosecution of a scion of a famous house for shooting a nigger. The facts were, how ever, that young Crittenden had shot down tho colored man for simply daring to disa gree with him and refusing to obey him. Of course nil the influence of family and friends was exerted in his behalf. Tho la dies of his family sat by his side constantly during tho trial. Even the chief of police was present most of tho time lending his support and oncouragemont to the accused. "At that time the sentiment in our country t hat a white man could do no harm to a negro, and that the negro always de served all ho {jot, was a good deal stronger than it is now, and the sympathy of the courtroom was all on Crittenden's side. The jury was an intelligent one, and I ap pealed to them not to allow prejudice to blind them to tho facts of the wise, and to render such a verdict that it might not be said that in Kentucky there was one law for the rich and another for the poor. The result was conviction, and as young Crit tenden was being taken from the court room to jail he was heard to say, 'lf I had thought for one moment that that jury was going to convict mo, I would have broken that d d Caruth's head with a chair!' Of course his friends afterward got a now trial for him on some technicality, and tho young man was acquitted." WALTER WELLMAN. A Novel "Wood Pile." A unique kind of "wood pile" is de scribed as having been resorted to in ono of tho Lead City gold mines. It is com posed of timbers about tho size of railroad ties, which are used in supporting the walls and'roofsof the drifts and tunnels of tho mines. A narrow gauge railroad brings tho logs, which have been sawed flat on two sides, to a point on the mountain slope about 600 feet nbovo the valley, and they are then thrown into a wooden chute about.4 feet wide and 2 foot deep, tho in side surface being kept smooth and slip pery by a small stream of water. The point considered is that if tho logs were allowed to run directly to the ground they would speedily excavate an enormous hole, I besides damaging themselves, so tho lower end of the chute is curved upward, and the ! logs leave it at an angle of ahout 00 de grees with the horizontal, and rise from 150 to 200 feet in the air, turning over and : over and finally landing on tho enormous pile already there. A useful outcome also accompanies this method—namely, tho logs sort themselves in the pile according to their size—that is, the heavier ones, having a greater momentum, are all found at tho side farthest away from the chute. —New York Sun.

A lady, grievously tormented with a corn on ono of her toes, was advised by a friend to anoint it with phosphorus, which iu a weak moment she did, hut for got to tell her husband before retiring at night.

He had never heard of a firefly in the locality, ! nor did he over remember seeing such a I terrible looking object as the toe presented. Reaching carefully out of his hod till he found one of his slippers, he raised it high in the air and brought it down with terri ble force upon the mysterious light.
