1t seems that Chicago did mot reap any SUBJ
stantial benefit from the rebate of duties al
lowed by Congress on building materials used
in reconstructing that city. But, worse than
that, the precedent established in that case is
likely TO be a troublesome one. Congress is
now contemplating similar concession TO
Boston; and, to eyade the constitutional OBJ
lection that duties shall be uniform oil over
tue country, 1t is argued that the duty is
levied in accordance with that provision of
the Constitution, but returned to the importer

Ever and ever the world goes round,
Bearing iis burdens and erosses'
Ever and ever the years roll on,
With their tide OF soruWs and Losses
Ever aud ever the book Of lie
Bears upon its pages
The weary, weary lay Of the heart.
Sung through all the ages
Ever and ever With outsirrtehed hands
We grasp for golden morrow
Ever and ever the pillows Of time
Are aightei with bitter sorrow.
Ever and ever the lips smile on,
That the world may walk in blindness
Little they know OF the hearts Wild woe,
When the face looks but with kindness
Ever and ever the shadows fall
Over the golden moses;

tlians closely for four miles, when Lieut..
Hamilton saw their village, and at once
charged it with five men. He dashed
among the lodges, the women and chill
dren having barely time to leave them
and run into the hills. r
The Indians halted on the bluffs above
the village and showed fight, but before
they could drive the lieutenant and his
men from their town Captain Ball came
laundering up, and the savages once
more sought safety in fight The sur
prise was complete, and so hnsty Ind been

CATTLE LIVING ON THEIR OWN Far
Snow began falling early in November,
in Colorado, and it fell every few days
lntil well into january, Nogreat losses
can occur among cattle in good order
so early MS December and January, even
though they may not be able to get grass
for month. They simply live on their
fat, and they will not begin to die until
this fatis consumed. But cattle driven
from Texas in the fall come in poor
flesh, and early mortality is inevitable
with these, rs with all other poor stock
when snow covers the ground. As
general thing two and three.year olds
get along best Cows and calves Winter
badly, and particularly cows whose
calves have run with them. The reader
may see from this statement that to make
an estimate in the dead OF Winter, and
while snow it still on the ground must
in the nature Of the case, be uncertain.
Tho turning point will be in March and
April, when the cold winds cause the
remaining fat to be rapidly consumed,
and l understand that more cattle nj.
ways die in these months than in the
previous months Another thing is to
be considered. The nutriment Of the
grass depends on its being Kept dry. A
few rains, followed by freezing weather,
takes out its heart. A heavy body OF
snow, melting by day aud freezing by
night, undoubtedly bleaches the grass
to some extent, aud makes 1t more diff.
cult for cattle to live upon it after the
suow finally disappears.-LeRerJrom Col.
