An old negro, living in Dalton, named Election Barksdalo claims to bo 100 years bid. He says ho remembers dis tinctly events commoted with the revolutionary war, aifd other promi-nent historical occurrences of more than a century ago. The old man is still in very good health and seemshale and hearty. If the old darky tells the truth about his age he is certainly the oldest man now living in the state of Georgia.

The Irish bark Countess of DuQ'erin left Londondery iu ballast for Apala-- . chicola, Fla., Nov. 22. 18SU. and arrived there on April 5, 1880, requiring 133 davs to make tho trip. At the end of three months she was not lifty miles off the coast of Ireland. This three months was a series of gales and calms. At one time she was as far north as Iceland. When she did get a fair wind she came through in thirty-fiv- e days. Long ago this vessel was given up as lost. LOCAL CKNSUM ENUMERATION. The News is greatly exorcised over the action of tho city council in provid-ing for an enumeration of the inhabi-tants of Salt hake. It says: Under the auspice and at the expense of the general government, the inhabitants of this city will be counted next month. Why. then, should the city council, appoint enumerators to do the wuiie thing at substantially the samo time la it nocessaiy to check the govern-ment's count? Cannot United States census marshals be rolled upon to give correct Hgurcs? Tho News is referred to section 14 of an act providing for tho incorporation of cities, page G2 of "the revised ordin-ances. This section, artiong other things, provides that "the municipal authorities of any city in this territory are hereby authorized to appoint com-missioners to take the census of such city before any municipal election," etc., for certain purposes, which are stated in the act. As this has ucver been done, the. council is only acting in 'accordance with law, and doing nothing improper iu the United States senate, soon learned tho true character of the man. He found him to be dis-honest politically and ungrateful, but as the principles that were advocated by Van Wyek wero those upon which the Omaha' Bee had been built, Mr. Kose-wate- r continued to support him. Mr. Rosewater wo believe to bo an honest Mr. Van Wyck is not and never has been. He lias been for office only. While as-sailing the railroads he has begged fa-vors of them. We venture to assert that ho never paid a railroad faro be-tween Nebraska and Washington while he was in the senate. At present Van Wyck is assuming to lead, tho Farmers' Alliance of Nebraska, aud is endeavoring to induco the agriculturists to form a third party. Hero again, VauWyck shows his political dishonesty. His object is not so much to benefit tho farmers as it to secure the governorship of Nebraska aud next his old seat in the United States senate through their votes. This movement of VauWyck has caused the Omaha Bee to cut loose from the dema-gogue. It was an opportunity that Mr. Rosewater has long been waiting for. His paper, the Bee, now Calls upon the farmers not to follow VanWyck, but to unite with the dominant party, the re-publicans, and in this way accomplish better results in a shorter time than they could iu auy other manner. While the Bee is an influential paper, Van Wyck, ou the other baud, notwith-standing his known failings, wields a peculiar and strong iullueuco among the agricultural classes. Hence, there promises to be a very interesting fight in Nebraska politics. J..L . . A NEBRASKA POLITICAL UIVOKCE. Van Wyck of Nebraska, aud Editor Kosowater of tho Omaha Bee, have at hist parted company. To those who know the two men this polit-ical divorce will uot bo a surprise. Van Wyek is uot au houest man. Ho has for years played tho role of anti monopolist, and has acquired a national reputation. During the time that ho was campaigning against; tho railroads he traveled on passes, aud when this was discovered ami made public ho had the gall to defend his action ou the ground that ho was simply foraging ou the enemy. That may have been wit, but it was not a sensible nor an honest defense. Mr. Rosewater, who had helped Van " Wyck to a scat Pesky's FIRST Addition SUBDIVISION OF GLBNDALE PARK.

For be knows the warming weather Will increase his little pile; And he reads the funny papers For the latest yams and Jokes, Which he reels oft with a relish While he martyrizes folks. In the spring the youth and maiden, Wander to the verdant park, Where they make themselves obnoxious As they loll und spoon and spark; ' And the dlckey-bivd- s above them Seem to revel in the fun, Till the grouty park policeman . Comes aud gives them all the run. In the spring the pleading poet With his choicest lay appears. Pouring forth his senseless blather into people's tired ears; But he dons his chest protector, Pads the boBom of his pants, Ere the editorial slugger At hiB framework gets a chance. In the spring we tell the Ice man Him at whom we've often swore-- He may leave a fair-size- pellet With us every summer morn; And upon the entry door post, To Inspire the tramps with fear, We adjust a flaming sign-boar- Reading: "Scarlot Fever Here." In t he spring the open street car, With a brand now coat of oil, Bears the down-tow- n clerk anil merchant To tholr place of dally toll; And the gentle, gonial zephyrs, Stealing through the open car, Fill the passengers chock full of , Influenza and catarrh. In the spring the Joyful urchin Hies him to the vacant lot, Where he shies the deadly base ball, Making people shun the spot; Aud by way of variation Now and then a startling crash Greets the ear as through a window Goes a base ball with a smash. In the spring the bustling housewife Takes a renovating tit. And she tears the house to pieces, Sweeping, scouring, scrubbing It; But, while thus engaged in cleaning, All the family are lu gloom, For In all the house there's not a Single habitable room. . There Is one thing certain, and that Is that Cleveland is a "bigger man" than Dana. The Times repeats that the sidewalks in tho business portion of tho city are a disgraco to Salt Lake. . The Deseret News is evidently troubled with worms. Texas Tom ought to prescribe for it. , EXORBITANT KENT. ' The rents charged in this city are ex-orbitant, and in some cases they are nothing more nor less than robbery. The exorbitant prices are discouraging to the people who come hero to locate, and arc obliged for the time being to rent dwelling houses. An undue ad-vantage is being taken of newcomers. For instance, a small brick cottage which last year rented for $23 per month, is now held at $bU A four-roo-brick cottage, without even a closet or any modern conveuieueies, is runted at W0, and for a sim-ilar live-roo- cottage ' &10 rent is demanded. The rents asked for business houses, if there are auy to bo had, arc still higher in proportion than those charged for dwellings. There is, of course, a daarth of build-ings, and landlords argue that they are worth in rent just what they will briug. Suppose tliero was a famine in Salt Lake, and a few dealers had cornered all the potatoes, which had cost them about 85 cents a bushel, and they should ask $10 a bushol just because there was a crying demand aud the supply was limited. Would they uot be denounced as heartless robbers? Yes; and they would very likely bo mobbed. The ad-vantage that is being taken In the mat-ter of rents is about on a par with tho action of men who would corner the provision' market and then rob tho hungry people. The landlords tire giviug Salt Lake a black eye, and bringing down curses upon thoir heads. However, rents aro bound to oomo down soon. People will not permit themselves to be imposed upon very long. Tho miserable apologies for dwellings that are uow being rented for prices ranging from $40 to $0 will soon go begging for tenants at the old ligures of $15 to $35 per mouth. Tho new resi-dences, with all modern conveniences, that aro now beiug built will bo com-pleted during the summer, and many of them will be rented at moderate lig-ures. Meanwhile, wo suppose, the n In ronts will continue. The high rates would iu a measure bo excusable if wages and salaries were as high in pro-portion, but they are not anything of tho kind. They are not any higher than in tho eastern cities whero the cost of living is tit least 35 per cent cheaper than in Salt Lake. MINSTATEMKNTS COKBKCTED. Our cemotcrial contemporary, tho Deseret News, has agaiu put its foot iu it. Referring to the statement made by City Attorney Merrill to the council ou Tuesday night it says: City Attorney Merrltt, in speaking upon the subject of Improving the Tenth ward square, expressed, iu the same breath, t he oplniou that the conditions of the trust by which the city parted with the property had been com-plied with, but that a bill in equity would He to secure its reversion back to the city. This may be good law to lawyers, but laymen will wonder how equity can step lu to dissolve a contract, admitted to lie legal in its inception und provisions, every stipulation of which has been, compiled with. Now that is just exactly what Mr. Merritt did not say. The expression ho used was to the effect that if tho pro-visions by which the square was en-trusted to the society had not been complied with, as provided in the trust deed, by which it became crdowed with the possession of tho property, then a bill iu equity would lie. Otherwise there was no way for the city to regaiu possession except by agreement of both sides. Tin News in its statement does the city attorney .au injustice. Its action is evidently intentional, too. Were it unintentional it might bo forgiven, as all are liable to mistake, but mark this paragraph: There Is a suspicion thai, some workers for 'Liberal" success wanted t heir pay. There is also another suggestion that a legal tight over (las.dwl worth of property would yield some fat legal fees. This statement of course will pass un-heeded by tho intelligence of Salt Lake, but the animus exhibited is apparent. Why should not the News cease its petty mud Hinging and unite with other papors iu working for the interest of the city iustead of throwing cold water on every project brought up? At the meeting of the council it was said that an arrangement could lie entered into by which the matter could be am-icably adjusted, that the secretary wanted to change the location of the sheep pens, aud that a conference of the council with the trustees would probably result in a satisfactory man-ner. Tho News d oes not advocate any-thing of the sort, but by untruthful seeks to besmirch those who are working for Salt Lake's advancement. Visitors in Salt Lake will find The Times' "Tourists' Guide" very useful. Cut it out and pasto it in your hat for future reference. .

Senator Stanford, who proposes to loan the public money on farm mort-gages, should also include in his philan-thropic scheme a piau to lend money to cities for public buildings inasmuch as President Harrisou is inclined to veto public buildiug appropriations. f Senator Stanford does this it will add strength to his presidential lioomlct. As thehe is considerable difference of opinion among silver men in con-gress, and the gold bugs are .doing all in their power to kill or cripplo silver legislation, The Times suggests that the voice of Utah be heard iu tho mat-ter in no uncertain tones in mass meet-ings iu Salt Lake, Ogdeu, Provo, Mauti, Nephi, and other towns. Utah possesses some of the greatest silver mines in tho world, and should have something to say on this subject. We would suggest that a silver mass meet-ing be held uuder the auspices of the chamber of commerce some eveuiug next week. JOKELET8. The silver scheme is properly de-nominated by nietallism.
