~ - In mems affairs there is s'tide,"
So truly sings the poet;
But how can men ON its flood ride,
Ii they've no slime" to show it7
The sooner, then, tits understood
The time tide GIBBS and flows,
The sooner you can take the flood
Anc on its tide repose.
Ii time and tide will wait for none,
Their movements keeping chime;
WITHOUT a watch you're left alone,
To dull unmeasured time.
With time.piece of well-tested time,
No food-tide will be lost;
If late the fisher casts his line,
On ebb.tide luck he's tossed.
The sailor, too who heaves the lead,
And keeping watch by guess,

And raise a rebel mess

You'll want your time kept true;
You will mark time then to T,
If taught by BARTHOLOMEW
Let lovers, too, in guessing mood,
Once miss the wedding hour,
NO tide to them Its future flood
Would yield its nuptial power.
The merchant and the farmer, too;
The mechanic and the baker;
What in word, would all men do
without good matchmaker?
Love chains too-not gilded letters
,Twould be hard to find their betters;
Breast-pins of pearl and gold vend

Cheap, and just like golden fixtures
Attend these hints, they are but few,
And now tits time to say adieu;

tering Power Press" has been on exhi-

feeds itself, works both sides of the sheet,
if desired, and drops the sheet, when prin-

paper is wet upon reel, and rolled off,
as in the case of the tclegraphic strip, and
cut by the press itself to the right size
1t performs double the amount of "Hoe' s

which are regarded here by some, at least,
as quite wonderful.

BURNING IN EFF1GY.-The Buffalo Cou.
rier very truly says: "Our political his
tory discloses the curious fact, that no in
diVidual has been burnt in effigy in this
country for any act he may have commit
ted as public man, whose popularity
has not been materially increased by the
operation"
The Courier continues Burning in
efigy has been a common affair since the
organization of the government. In 1776.
George Washington, Patrick Henry and
John Hancock, were burnt in effigy in the
streets of cities. In 1900, Thomas Jeffer-
son was burnt in etfigy. because he advo-
Gated the rights of the people and opposed
the property qualification of voters. In
1919, James Madison was burnt in effigy
because he advocated the war with Eng
land which secured to American seamen
their rights.
In 1886, Andrew Jackson was burnt in
e6igy, because he crushed the famous
swindIing concern called the " United
States Bank" and beat the British at
New Orleans in 1914. In 1916, Geo.
NJ. Dallas was burnt in efigy, because he
voted for the peoples tariff, which is now
in operation. and which did not make the
grass grow in the middle Of the streets of
our cities, as many of the croaks predicted
1t would. But no man, We believe,
has in this country had the honor Of be-
ing so frequently subjected to this species
of federal Indignation, as the distinguish
Senator from Illinois"

INDIAN FEsT1vA1.-Th spring festival
of the Indian tribes in this county came
of on Wednesday evening about two
miles from this city. Attracted by the
continuous train of Indians, males and
squaws. passing through this place. and
ayaiIing themselves Of an invitation by
King Wemah, about a hundred citizens
went to the scene offestiyity, where they
were muIcted TO the amount Of one dollar
each. They found the Indians encamp-
ed, to the number Of four hundred, ha-
wing erected large council house. sixty
feet in diameter, constructedo Of branches
and bark. covered over with earth.
The dancing was in the house entirely
by the warriors, the women sitting about
on the glound. The dances were varied
from rude cotillion sets, tohybird polkas.
The music was made by striking sticks
together, and blowing melancholy reeds.
The dancers were in primitive costume
that is, With breech-eloth instead Of
