he dried and forgotten creyices of many
IN old Ijrospector's heart:
"A Lonesome, Homeless Miner-Man.'
He was lonely miner-man
Who In his cabin dwelt,
Or trod the narrow trail that ran
Along the mineral belt
And night and morn, with dinner-pail.
He back and forward strode,
Nor at the hour was known to fail
To take.the rocky road.
A steady-going mincr-msn
He sat at night and thought
And many curious miners plan
In fancy there he wrought;
And In his cabin. all alone
Before the dancing fire.
Full many picture came and shone
OF what he might desire.
A lonesome. homeless miner-man
Who cooked and washed and worked
Perhaps his name was John, or Dan,
No odds-he never shirked.
And why care what his name might be
Who delved with pick and drilll
The time book of the company
Had put him mp as BILL
Some said he was heartiess man
Who did MT care at all
How matters ended, or began,
Outside his cabin wall.
But once watched him at the store
(Postofhce IL was, tool
The keeper, as he passed tho door,
Said Letter here for you
He took the letter as he went,
Walking away alone.
And soon saw him most intent
Sit reading on stone;
And as he read. the rolling tears
Came coursing down his face
HIS heart had Travelled back for years,
To childhood's tender place
Now, when that miner raised his latch.
What sorrow entered there
To bow his head beneath the thatch
Re-reading Il with carer
How weary sat he by the fire
Too sad and faint TO cook
Ills lonely meal and then retire
Without q voice or book.
All iminer. you and I, and all.
Can never. II We would.
Shut up the heart. whatecr bcfall,
Against the true and good
And when the world looks worse and worse
The farther Of we roam,
We still have something that we nurse
The love at mothers home

Sulphur to Kill Vermin In Nests.

1t is well to know that the powdered
sulpher of the druggists is the cheapest,
handiest, and best thing yet discovered
for killing parasites that infest sitting
hens, and find their way to fresh pastures
upon the chickens as soon as the latter
are Matched. Many times people COM
plain that when their chickens are a week
or two old they droop and die from the at
tacks of large lice, which literally cover
the heads of the birds. If examination is
made earlier, it will be found that the in
sects have taken up their abode upon the
chickens head while still in the nest, for
they forsake the hen, prefeIing the chick
ems 1t is bad business to have to catch
the chickens and hen for treatment after
they have left the nest, when the remedy
can be applied with so little trouble be-
fore Matching begins. A week or so after
the hen has been given her clutch of
eggs, sprinkle them and the whole of the
nest and the straw for little distance
around it with the sulphur when the hen
is off. The night following attend to the
hen herself by lantern light. Disturb her
just enough to make her bristle her
feathers, and then dust sulphur well down
to their roots. Go over her whole body
thoroughly, excepting the parts in con.
tact with the nest, and lift each wing and
scatter plnch, ana attend 10 neau, neck,

About Building.

THE most economical manner of erect
ing dwelling-houses or outbuildings is to
plan in such manner that the desired
apartments will be all beneath one roof,
rather than under several separate roofs.
The expense incident to covering lean
to one story in height is just as much per
square foot as though the structure were
four stories high. An addition or an
extension is frequently erected in the rear
of the upright part of dwelling, the
plates of which are about even with the
garret floor The expense for cornice and
for roofing would be no larger if the out
side walls of the dwelling had been car
ried up to a sufficient height for another
story. Builders do not always consider,
when making separate roof to cover
almost every apartment, that the expense
is comparatively much larger than if the
dwelling had been planned so as to have
two story or three-story structure all
beneath one roof One serious objection
to the practice of building a wing to an
upright part. an extension to the wing, an
addition to the extension, a lean-to to the
addition, and shed against the lean-to,
is the difficulty and great expense of max
ing the roof rain tight where it is united
to the side of the adjoining structure. A
single extension in rear of the upright
part of dwelling, when carried up to the
proper height, is not Objectionable as to
external appearance, or economy in the
materials for the frame. When the joists
are required to be over sixteen or eigh-
teen feet in length, the expense is liable
to be augmented; and when building is
over twenty or twenty-four feet in width,
the architect experiences greater Difficult.
ties in constructing the roof than if the
structure were not more than sixteen feet
in width. When one is erecting barn,
the more economical plan is to employ
posts twenty to thirty feet high, rather
than to build several small and isolated
structures having posts only twelve feet
in length-InduStI1d Monthly.

increased by more faithful collection, at
the rate of $50, 900, 600 a year over the
previous year, does not indicate the actual
result gained for the public treasury. TO
say that the expenses of the Government
have been vastly reduced, and that the IN
terest has been decreased by the dimlnu-
ton of the debt, is only to give hint OF
the retrenchment that has been carried
out. But these things have told with I'M
mense effect upon our financial condition,
and it is to the admirable policy and ac-
tion of the Administration that we owe
the improvement which is now going on
to it's contamination.
A Democratic paper recently took the
trouble to attempt to show that neither
Grant nor his policy deserved any, credit
for the Frightening financial outlook. But
Grant and his policy deserve the very
highest credit. Suppose his policy had
been of different kind from what it has
been. Suppose he had collected the reve
nue. in the reckless manner of which we
had so much previous experience. Sup
pose the debt had been increased as it was
in the latter part of Johnson's Admins
tration-suppose the wasteful expendi
lures of Johnson's time had been con
tinued-suppose we were experimenting
with greenback theory and the repudia
tion fraud-does anybody suppose that
our bonds would now be at or near par
or that gold would be quoted at the pres
ent price, or that our credit would stand
where it does abroad? To ask the ques
ton is to answer it, and to show the alb
surdity of the reasoning of the Democrat
ic organ.
1t is not by the display of any immense
genius, or of any gigantic or mysterious
''plan," that these great results have been
wrong ght. 1t is by the carrying out of a
few simple principles, the principles OF
honesty and economy, which President
Grant announced one year ago. There
can be no more beneficent natural genius
than is found in the power to perceive
and enforce those principles. And hav
ing aided in the election of Grant, il
gives us pride and joy to be able, at the
close of the first year of his Administra
ton, to point the country to the result:
that have already been achieved-tc

fare, as shown in the financial improve
ment no less than In the consummation o.

How Summer Suits Should be Washed.

SUMNER suits are nearly all made of
white or buff linen, pioue, cambria. or
muslin, and the art of preserving
the new appearance after washing is
a matter of the greatest Importance.
Common washerwomen spoil everything
with soda, and nothing is more frequent
than to see the delicate tints of lawns and
percales turned into dark blotches and
muddy streaks, by the ignorance and van
dalism of a laundress. 1t is worth while
for ladies to pay attention to this, and in
sist upon having their summer dresses
washed according to the directions which
they should be prepared to give their
laundresses themselves. In the first
place, the water should be tepid, the soap
should not be allowed to touch the fabric;
it should be washed and rinsed quickly,
turned upon the wrong side, and hung in
the shade to dry, and when starched I'm
thin boiled but not boiling starch) should
be folded in sheets or towels, and ironed
upon the wrong side as soon as possible.
But linen should be washed in water in

been boiled. This last will be found to
answer for starch as well, and is excellent
| for print dresses of all kinds, but hand,
full of salt is very useful also to set the
colors of light cambrics and dotted lawns
and a little OK gall will not only set but
brighten yellow and purple tints, and has
good effect upon green.-Sctentift

What Greeley Said Of the First Year
of Grants Administration.

AT the close of the first year of Grants.
Administration, in a fit of honesty that
was unmarried by insane ambition, Mr.
Greeley, in his Tribune, thus referred to
the benefcent influence which Grants
honesty and economy had exercised upon
the credit of the country at home and
abroad
The quotations of gold, which have
been steadily and rapidly going down
during the past fortnight, fell yesterday
till the premiums reached the vicinity of
113, f1uctuating the greater part of the
day few fractions above that point, but
at one time striking a fraction below it.
The quotations of Government bonds in
dicated, during the day, that they were on
the verge of par in gold, most of the va
rieties being worth but little less than
gold, while one variety was at gold pre-

are able to chronicle these highly
favored financial facts was also the
day that marks the termination
of the first year of President Grants Ad-
ministration of public affairs, is circum-
stance which the country will not lose
sight of, and which the friends of the
President will witness with unfeigned joy
No one who has observed the fuctua-
tions will believe that there is any more
likelihood of gold returning to 130 than
there is of its returning to 200. 1t has
not gone down through speculative COM
binations, but through the operation of
general causes that are not within the
control of the Gold Room.
The things, however, for which the Ad-
ministration deserves the highest credit
in connection with the improvement in
our financial condition, are such as relate
to the carrying out of Grants policy of
honesty and retrenchment. When, by
his election, the country and the world
received assurances that the financial
honor of the Government would be main
tanned when the policy of reputation
was spurned by the people, and Congress
gave its pledge to support the public
credit by paying the principal and inter
est on the debt in gold-the first
great steps toward financial redemption
were taken. When Grant announced
his brief and simple policy for remedying
the confusion of our financial state; when
he began carrying out practically the
programme he had announced, it was
| evident that we were about to take long
stride toward the settlement of oul
troubles. But years experience of this
policy has gone far beyond public expec
tation. To say that the debt has been
decreased during the year of his Admin
istration 800, ,0O0,0 600 is but to represent
small part of what has actually beer
achieved. To say that during the frs
half of the current year the revenues were

a DANGEROUS NAN.
BY CORPORAL BuMP


Mr.. SUMNER says that Grant is bold, bad, dan
'rous man.-Neacspaper.
"a bold, bad man is Gen. Grant,"
Said Floyd one gloomy night,
As out from Donelson he crept,
And took his hasty fight.
From Pillows trembling lips there came
An echo sounding much the same;
And Buekner thought his chief was right,
Nor longer burst maintain the fight;
And then came down the rebel 'sbars,"
And from the fort hung stripes and stars.
"That Grants dangerous man - said they;
And doubtless think the same to-day.
"A bold, bad man is Gen. Grant,
Said Beauregard one morn.
As from the naughty traitors brow
The victOr's wreath was torn;
And from the fields his legions went,
By orders Gen. Grant had sent.
Then Shiloh's field was ours again,
Despite the host of rebel men,
Who came an army boasting loud,
But went panic-stricken crowd;
For Beauregard and all his men
Perhaps thought Grant was dangerous then.
"a bold, bad man is Gen. Grant,"
Said PembertOn one day;
.Entreaties are of no avail,
He will not go away.
A stubborn, mulish, dangerous man!
He wants our rebel hides to TAM
And still Grants cannon raked the town,
Until the rebel flags came down;
And then our banners, rent and torn,
Were through the streets of Vlcksburg borne.
The bold, bad man, - that glorious Fourth.
Sent gladstone tidings to the North.
"a bold. bad man is Gen. Grant!''
And poor Bragg's eyes were dim
With tears; said he, 81 know
'Tis useless fighting him.
And soon the cheers from Grants brave men
On Lookout's crest, told where and when
The rebel General had to run,
And what that sbold, bad man. had done.
THAT Grants dangerous man!'' he said,
AS from the field his army fed.
"a bold, bad man Is Gen. Grant,"
Said Lee, that's plain to see;
He must be very bold, indeed,
To think of whipping me.''
Then Petersburg and Richmond fell;
Then AppOmattOx-may be-well,
At last our heroes work was done;
The final victory was won.
Perhaps the people may forget
These tidings, but then they haven't yet.
They needed then such dangerous" men,
And think, perhaps, they may again.
"a bold, bad, dangerous man is Grant,
jeff. Davis thought the same,
When, running off in crinolIne,
He to the last ditch'' came.
A Ku-Klux's gentle voice was heard,
And ''Grant is dangerous averred
1t needs must be that this is SO,
For all these rebels ought to know.
Then Hall and Tweed-good honest men
Say Grant is bold and bad,' and when
Such men declare it, then, forsooth,
Folks know that Sumner tells the truth.
