MY MOUNTAIN HOME.

There's one dear spot on this wide earth
Where | would once more roam,
Where, in the past, I've sportod Oft
My dear old Mountain Home.
They talk to me of foreign lands,
Far DER the oceans foam,
Which some may love-but ne er will l
Forget my Mountain Home.
I'm far away from that dear spot,
But still regrets will come,
That | may never see again
My dear old Mountain Home.
l see before me once again,
AS in those days of yore,
The shining river gliding by
Before the cottage door.
The old oak tree where hung my swing,
Where many times and long,
d stay beneath its cooling shade
And list the wild bird S song.
The little stream within the glade,
The bue-bells hanging DER,
Where often have skipped and played
In those bright days of yore
And oft in Summer days I'd sport
And while away the hours,
Roaming DER the dear old hills
To gather wildwood flowers.
In future years, mid pleasant scenes,
Where eer | chance to roam,
Therell always be loving thought
For that dear old Mountain Home.

PRESIDENT GRANTS POLICY.
In conclusion, | would sum up the policy of
the Administration to be thorough enforce
ment of every law, faithful collection of tax
provided for, economy in the disbursement of
the same, prompt payment of the debt of the
nation, reduction of taxes rapidly as the re-
quirement of the country will admit, so as to af-
ford the greatest good to the greatest number
honest and fair dealing with all other people to
the end that war, with all its hlghting conse-
quences, may be avoided, but without surrender
ing any right or obligation due to us a reform
in the treatment of the Indians and in the whole
civil service of the country and, finally, in se-
curing sure, untrammcled ballot, when every
man, entitled to cast vote, may do so just once
at each election without fear or molestation or
prescription on account of his political faith ma
tionality or color.

A WONDERFUL REGIoN.-Th BHHetiR says the
reports of the Yellowstone Exploring Expedition
read like romance. Canyons with vertical walls
that shut out the sum- waterfall that rivals if it
does not surpass Niagara, ellis that recall Gose-
mite, and thirmal springs that leap from fifty to
two hundred feet in the air-such are the more
remarkable natures of country which is alto
gether wonderful. If these reports are true
Montana will prove serious competitor to Cali
fornia, with her big trees, Yosemite, tall peaks
and geysers and nothing less than live vol
cano will serve to restore our supremacy. There
are said to be over two thousand hot springs,
strongly mineral, in one small valley of the Vel
owstoue region. One would think that this
must be the very centre of that tremendous vol
canic energy which at some remote period
marked the whole interior of the continent,
when perhaps the great basin was still salt sea
and the water was up to the highest of those
terraced lines which are still plainly visible.
We know comparatively little of the geology of
the middle continent, and what we do know, ex-
cites the keenest curiosity. The exploration of
Whitney, King and others, partial and limited,
and partly voluntary, have had valuable results
and it is to be hoped the national Government
will make annual appropriations to continue
scientific investigation in such vast and prom
isng field. Money could not be better expended
and no public works are so economically CON
Quoted as those of the scientific explorer.

SALT FOR SwlNE.-Whie all other domestic
animals are regularly supplied with salt, the
hog is generally neglected lie requires, how
ever, to be as constantly supplied as the OK, the
horse, or the sheep, and suffers us much from pr-
vation as either Of the above animals do. His
food is almost invaribly given him in fresh
and unseasoned state and to this we may doubt
less attribute many of the vrulent and fatal dis
eases to which he is subject, and which stogger
all remedies, however skillfully administered.
If the food is not regularly seasoned, there
should be n trough or box in every sty, in which
salt may be deposited regularly for the use of
the animals Seasoning the food judiciously
would be much the best way. As seasoning the
food of the hog is mentioned above let it be un-
derstood that salt is only here alluded to, for if
any person should try seasoning with pepper
they will make great mistake for as much
pepper will suffice for mans dinner will
kill hog.

The DIFFERENCE. When a raksh, reckless
youth goes astray, friends gather round him in
order to restore him to the path Of virtue He
is "only sowing his wild oats" and may be re-
claimed and made shining light in society.
Gentleness and kindness are lavished upon him
to win him back again to innocence and peace.
No one would suspect that he had ever sinned.
But when poor, con6ding girl is betrayed, she
receives the brand Of society, and is henceiorth
driven from the ways Of virtue. The betrayer is
honored, respected, esteemed; there is no peace
for her this side of the grave. Society has no
loving, helping hand for her; no smile of peace
no voice of forgiveness. These are earthly mo-
ralites unknown to heaven. There is II deep
wrong in them, and fearful are the consequences.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
AMERICAN COMMERCE.

The fact exists that the carrying trade is gone
almost entirely into foreign bottoms and while
this state of affairs exists we cannot control our
due share of the commerce of the world. That
between the Pacific States China and Japan is
about all the carrying trade now conducted in
American vessels.
| would recommend n liberal policy towards
that line of-Ameriean steamers; one that will
insure success, and even increase usefulness.
The cost of building iron vessels-the only ones
that can compete with foreign ships in the car
rying trade is so much greater in the United
States than in foreign countries that without
some assistance from the Government they can.
