SONG FOR A FAMILY REUNION.


Three thousand members of the Howe
family. assembled at birmingham, Massa
chusetts, and Mrs. Julia Ward Howe wrote
for them the following melodious song Of
welcome:
The wear that fings her blossoms wide
As spendthrifts cast their gold,
Collects her ripened fruit with pride,
From summers fiery mould.
The winged seeds are carried far
On their mysterious way;
This shoots beneath the polar star
This meath the tropic ray. -.
Even thus the souls of human kind,
On Wills strong current ny,
And their appointed limit hnd,
To fall and fructity.
Bnt love has blown his blast to-day,
Beneath the glittering dome,
That we should feel within his sway
The deathless JOY Of home.
And this one comes from desert "astee-
And this from sunny isles, 80.
And this one crowned with sorrows hastes
And this one crowned with smiles;
BEST was the freedom that enlarged
Ollr youth's unfolding powers,
The daring impulse that surcharged,
With life, our pilgrim hours.
But happier yet the sacred bono
That doth our presence cianh
That centuries memories iull anu loLu
With one ancestral name.
Feeedofn and love are welded poth
In ties of kindrt d Blood
SO LET us, thankful pledge our tIoth
To human brotherhood.

\ COOP MovE.-The committee on
Police, through its Chairman, Thomas
J. Campbell, reported to the City Coun-
eli the beastly condition of the lookup,
and recommended that it be made
larger and that it be improved in such
a way as shall make it less of a nui-
sance. The committee was authorized
to advertise for proposals to make the
necessary repairs. This is good move.
The lookup has long been in a condi-
ton disgraceful to the city.

TINE IS MoNEY.-This old-timed
axiom is aptly illustrated in the use OF
Dooley's Yeast Powder. 1t is well
known that the common process OF
raising dough is slow one, and often
attended with unfavorable results from
the use of poor bakers yeast, and i'm
proper heat. With Dooleys Yeast
Powder the best of rolls, biscuits, corn
cakes, ETC., can be made in the short
space of ten minutes, and uniform sue
cess will certainly attend its use. This
is owing to its purity, strength and the
care with which it is manufactured.

that his head might have been sand

but the scalp, were arrested by officer
Junkins on Monday night for commit
ing nuisances in the Second Ward mar
ket. They were required to pay ST. and
costs each. This little bill of $3.50
from each of the newly enfranchlsed,
may have the effect of making them q
little more careful in the future.
