ON THE READ.-Manager Bum, in
his work on America, has the following
paragraph, on tho strong newspaper
tastes Of our countrymen:
A newspaper in America is the most
serious Of ell daily considerations, mas
much as no one can do without that,
but any one can do without bis break
fast; ergo, the first thing man does is
to see what he has to read, and the Sec
ond, what he can get to eat. A news
paper constitutes the very breath of J on
athaa's nostrils it is guide Of bis opin :
Jon, the furtherance of all his views
and it's influence, therefore, over him is
incredible. There are nearly three
thousand papers of one description Or
another in the United States, which cir
culate, according TO authoritative sta
tistics, upwards Of four hundred and twcn-
ty millions of copies per annum Ev-
cry hotel and coffee house, down to the
lowest cabaret in town or county, takes
in one or two. They are sold at all
corners Of the streets-hawkcd from
door to door-displayed upon public
stalls araded through every railway
station directly the cars stop--cried
about on the decks of every steamer,
and trumpete9 forth from pillar to post.
Stroll through the streets, and you will
see the urchin who sells them often de-
tain his customer until he has finished
his column.
Go into the market; the butcher cuts
open bis paper before he cats up his
pork the fishmonger digests the lead
ing article" before he troubles himself
about selling any other article and the
green grocer looks through the market
pages before he thinks of regulating his
own prices.

and late, ragged and perhaps with but
Indifferent food. The consciousness Of
having tried to do right, having patient
ly submitted to the decree that s'man
should earn his bread by the sweat Of
his brow - having labored hopefully
until every bone ached, and at last when
winter comes on and the rain and slee t
begin to dash against the single pane Of
glass in his window, and whisk off the
clapboards from his cabin-no money,
no provision dealers in "miners' stores ,
looking askance at him when he enters
to ask credit for a weeks provision
then the miners life is different thing.
How dismally the wind means through
the tops of the fir trees and how it
goes bowling down the canon, in very
mockery Of his poverty! What wonder
then that he should grow desperate and
feel half inclined to shake hands with
honesty, and say ego thy way-st a
more convenient season I will call for
thee" Then is the time when princi-
pie is sorely tried, when he has to strug-
gle with the teachings of childhood and
inclination to be avenged of perverse
fortune ; and then he makes misstep
which leads to another, until he finds
himself fugitive and vagabond.
Others there are, hopeful, persevering,
determined that, come what will, they
will hold fast to their. integrity. They
may sleep on hard bed, live on meagre
fare, and work the harder for i'll success.
!" Bad luck twill weary Of presenting
one whom she cannot conquer; and when
he least expects it, the tide turns, and
he begins to think that perhaps after all
he is one of the lucky ones. Then all
at once he remembers that
'''rhe night is always darkest
Ere the dawning Of the day."

TIE FAMILY MEETING.
By CHARLES sPRAGvE.

BIZ CHARLES sPRAGrE.
We are all here,
Father, Mother,
Sister, Brother,
All who hold each other dear.
Each chair is flled-we're all at home !
Tonight let no cold stranger come:
1t is not often thus around
Our old familiar hearth wc'rc found.
Bless, then, the meeting and the spot;
For once be every care forgot;
Let gentle peace assert her power,
And kind affection rule the hour.
We're all--all here.
We're not all here!
Some are away-the dead ones dear,
Who thronged with us this ancient hearth
And gave the hours to guiltless mirth.
Fate, with stern, relentless hand,
Looked in, and thinned our little band:
Some like nigbt-dash passed away,
And some sank lingering day by day;
The quiet grave-yard-some lay there
And cruel ocean has his share
We're not all here.
We are all here!
Even thcy--the dead--tho dead so dear;
Fond memory, to her duty true,
Brings back their faded forms to view,
How life like, through the mist Of years,
Each weli-remembered sace appears!
We see them, as in times long past,
From each to each kind looks are cast
We hear their words, their smiles behold;
They're round us as they were Of old
We ARE all here.
We are all here,
Father, Mother,
Sister, Brother,
You that I love, with love so dear,
This may not long Of us be said
Soon must we join the gathered dead,
And by the hearth we now sit round,
Some other circle will be found.
Oh! then, that wisdom may we know,
Which yields life of peace below;
So, in the world to follow this,
May each repeat, in words of bliss,
We're all-all here.

THE LOW-NECKED DRESS.
AIR-"1'he Low-Backed Car"

When first I saw Miss Clara,
A West end ball twas at,
A low-necked dress she wore, and near
The open door she sat;
But when the door was thriving oak
Exposed to tempests keen,
And biting air
So much, twas ne'er
AS the blooming girl | NEAR
AS she sat in her low ncekcd dress,
Becoming, must confess;
For all the men round
Not one could be found
But looked after the low-neckcd dress.
The polka's tumult over,
The fondest of mammas
Her daughter calls, and hints at shawls;
But seornfi,l "bums' and has
From Clara (artfui goddess y
The kind proposal meet
Quite faint she feels
She fairly reels
She never could bear the heat!
So she sits in her low necked dress,
But the heat would have troubled her
less,
For long weeks will roll,
Ere she's rid of the cold
That she caught from the wrecked
dress.
I'd rather see those shoulders
Meath downy cloak of fur,
Or pilot coat, and round that throat
A ploughmaa's comforter:
For I'd know that tender bosom
Was safe from climates i'll,
And the heart SO sweet
Would much longer beat
Than I now feel sure it will
While she clings to her low-necksd dress;
I've proposed, and she answered .syes,'
Next week it's to be,
But make sure shall see
That it's not in a low-necked dress!

THE AMAZONs OF, AFRICA.


BY CAPT. A. A. FooTE, U. s. N.
In Dahomcy, considerable portion
Of the national troops consists of armed
and disciplined females. They are strict
ly and watchfdlly kept from any COM
munication with men and seem to have
been trained through discipline and tho
force of cooperation, to the accomplish
ment Of enterprises from which the iu-
multuous warriors Of . native army
would shrink. A late English author
(Duncap) says: 81 have seen them, all
well armed, and generally fne, STIR ne,
healthy women, and doubtless capsule of
enduring great fatigue. They seem to
use the long Danish muskct with as much
ease as one Of our grenadiers does his
6relock, but not, of course, With tho
quickness, as they are not trained to any
particular exercise; but, on receiving the
word, make an attack like a pack of
hounds. with great swiftness. Ofcourse
they would DO useless against disciplined
troops, if at all approaching to the came
numbers. Still, their appearance is
more military than the generality of tho
men, and if undertaking campaign, I
should prefer the female to the male SOL
diers Of this country.
"The same author thus describes
field review of these Amazons, which
he witnessed: ~ was conducted to a
large space Of broken ground where
fourteen days had been occupied in
erecting three immense prickly piles Of
green bush. These three clumps Of
piles, of a sort Of strong brier or thorn.
armed with the most dangerous prickles,
we're placed in line, occupying about
four hundred yards, leaving only mar
row passage between them, sufficient
merely to distinguish each clump ap-
pointed to each regiment These piles
we're about eeveity feet wide and eight
feet high. Upon examining them, ! could
not persuade myself that any human be-
ing, without boots or shoes, would un-
der any circumstances, attempt to pass
over so dangerous collection of the
most efficiently armed plants / had ever
seen.
"Thc Amazons wear a blue striped
cotton surtout, manufactured by the ma
tives, and pair of trousers falling be-
low the knee. The cartridge box is
girded round the ioins.
"The drums and trumpets soon an
nounced the approach of three or four
thousand Amazons. The Dahomey SOL
diers (semale) made their appearance at
about two hundred yards from or in front
of, the first pile, where they halted with
shouldered arms. In few seconds the
word for attack was given, and rush
was made toward the pile beyond con-
ccption, and in less than one minute the
whole body had passed over this inn
mense pile, and taken the supposed
town.. Each Of the other piles were
passed with the same rapidity, at inter-
walls Of twenty minutes. When a per-
son is killed in battle, the skin is taken
from the head, and kept as tropy Of
valor. I counted seven bundled scalps
pass in this manner. The captain Of
each corps, (female) in passing, again
presented themselves before his Majesty.
and received the king approval of their
conduct.

OEOkGETOWN, feOruary 8, 1904.
We are pleased to learn that an arrangement
has been entered into between Mr. Wander
werken. of the Union line of omnibusses, and
the Georgetown and Washington Railroad
Company, which will prevent any clashing of
interests, or anything in the shape of oppOsi-
ton in case the charter shall be granted by
Congress and the road completed, We doubt
not but this will be very gratifying news to
the numerous friends of Mr. Nanderwerken ia
the District His Union line has been such
great public benefit, that there are but few.
If any persons to be found among us who
would not regret exceedingly to see anything
transpire that would work detrimental to his
interests. The railroad project is evidently
growing in favor with our citizens. Many,
however, are still to be found who are unwilling
to give it their support not because they are
opposed to such an improvement, in and of
itself, but they entertain. the opinion that in
consequence Of the narr6wness Of our streets,
the laying of the tracks, and passage of the
ears along them, would be, to some extent, an
obstruction to business. Another memorial to
Congress for the granting of the charter has
been circulating in our midst, and numerously
signed.
We were visited last night, with a light fall
of snow, and this morning the weather isagain
piercing cold. perfect contrast to the mild
spring like weather and refreshing southern
breezes of the last few days.
The flour and grain market has been in
rather an unsettled state for the last several
