In the Second Legislature, at Prescott, in 1865, at the time of the creation of Pah-ute County, northwest Arizona, or Mohave County, was represented in the Council by W. H. Hardy of Hardyville and in the House by Octavius D. Gass of Callville.
I am not one of those who would wish to see them banished or frowned upon. I don't mind admitting to you that there is a good deal in Methodism I mean the strict practice of its letter which you find here in Octavius that is personally distasteful to me.
Every poet who lived by the bounty of Augustus in later years naturally felt inspired to pay tribute to it in verse. But the actual naval battle seems to have been of an indecisive character. For that matter, even after the wholesale surrender of Antony's Roman army and fleet, neither Anthony nor Octavius realized the importance of what had happened.
Antony and Octavius were now to wrestle for the supremacy, and the victor was to be autocrat. He advanced into Syria, but called Cleopatra to him there, and delayed his march to remain with her, overwhelming her with honors.
The way that Octavius wrote both to these two magistrates and to the rest of his intimate friends whenever there was need of forwarding information to them secretly was to write in place of the proper letter in each word the second one following. He then went over into Asia and settled matters there, all the time keeping a sharp lookout for Antony's movements.
Champney spoke abruptly from the bed: "I heard last month that Champney Googe is back again has been back for five months; why didn't you tell me before?" The voice was very weak, but querulous and sharp. Aileen was sewing at the window. She did not look up. "Because I didn't suppose you liked him well enough to care about his coming home; besides, it was Octavius' place to tell you."
If he had seen the smile that accompanied the action, he might well have faltered in his resolution to champion any righteous cause on earth. "Wait a moment, Octavius." "Now it's coming!" he thought and faced her again; he was bracing himself mentally to meet the announcement. "Did you see the junk man at The Corners to-day about those shingle nails?"
Thus you would have soon been plunged in the miseries of another civil war, or perhaps assassinated in the Senate, as Julius was by you. Nothing could give the Roman Empire a lasting tranquillity but such a prudent plan of a mitigated imperial power as was afterwards formed by Octavius, when he had ably and happily delivered himself from all opposition and partnership in the government.
"Oh, haven't I? Look here, Tave, now no more nonsense; Romanzo taught me how two years ago but we both took care you shouldn't know anything about it. Give me that pail." This demand was peremptory. Evidently Octavius was weakening, for Champney heard again the rattle of the pails and the stool; then a swish of starched petticoat and a cooing "There, there, Bess."
All was forgotten in the fascination and delight of the passing hour; and feasting and revelry found perpetual and ever-varying renewal. At length Antony was aroused by the Parthian invasion of Syria, and the report of an outbreak between Fulvia, his wife, and Lucius, his brother, on the one hand, and Octavius on the other.
