TO LIZZIE JANE.

III IlIZ11l1 AMI
O. Lizzie Jane! I've tried cruel Kate,
1t seems she shuns the welded state
Perhaps it was ordained by fate
That she should live alone.
It's true, loved the bright-eyed lass
Before l thought of cropping grass,
Perehancc, she yet may wed an ass,
And love his soft, soft tone.
But, the name of Katy Jane
Is no theme for poets strain,
I'd Just as soon disturb my brain
With thoughts of Oregon.
But you, sweet girl, have won my heart;
So with Katy Jane gladly part
She never was just what thou art,
Fair beautious Paragon!
There's something in that mild blue eye,
For which fear / vainly sigh,
Like golden tints DER simmer sky,
l fear they are not for me.
IT'S not that form, that graceful air,
Nor those curls of soft brown hair,
Nor all the charms that's pictured there,
That makes me sigh for thee:
IT'S that pure, unclouded breast,
The home Of love, delightful guest,
You never was but to be best
With loves unfading hue.
Other hearts may boast Of love,
But Lizzie James will prove
Kind aad gentle as The dove,
All sincere and true.

him the same clothes and shoes he wore at the
moment of his assassination. OF course his body
is nothing but ske'eton covered with dry flesh
and skin, SO t al no features deScernable. The
body is covered with " hat once white linen

collected upon it, had turned it 10 light brown

The body IS placed on a narrow piece of plank, III

Chicago.

A spondent OF the Indiana State Journal
writes as follows of the growth and prospe cts of
the above flourishing city. The lines are, we pre-
sumo, in some respects rather highly drawn, but
forthis the reader can make due allowances:
"SiSteen years ago, Chicago had lust COM
mencedits existence. At least IN 1SS6 the exports
of the city were only of the value of COO while
the exports Tor 1S4S, five years ago, were valued

no estimates have been made. In 1899 the value

1858. In 1887 there were but 705 votes cast for
Mayor. The first census of the city WINS taken
l84O, Wien the population amounted 10 49,
In 1852 the census gave 38, 734; to day thore are
not less than DC, 600, which will increase TO $4,000
by octo9er. 1t is the fourth city OF the West in
population-Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and ST. LOUIS

not be u difficult matter 10 show her increase of
population, wealth and res urces, TO be such MS

'fThe lists of hotel arrivals published, show
greater number than those of Cincinnati aud st.

in the Falls of St. Anthony during the past two
