Have a Kind Word for All.

Drop kind word IN the ears of the poor
That You meet in your path oyry day,
And change, if you can, their countenancc sad
70 smile, as they pass by your way,
70 the needy, lonely, and distressed,
To tho sick that are writhing with pain,
Speak pleasantly, kindly to them,
That they all may some comfort obtain.
TO the orphan, left in this rough world alone,
Speak words Of consolation and cheer;
That his sorrows less oppressive may be,
That smile on his face may appear.
Speak kindly and oft to the lame and ill,
TO the heart broken pilgrims you meet,
That your life may be blest with happiness
here,
That at last your reward may be sweet.

WHOLE NO. 1854
Grants Cabinet.

1t has been deemed worth the while
by somebody to suggest to President
Grant that it might prove an adyan-
tage to him politically if he would give
the country an assurance that his Cab
met should undergo thorough recon
struction in case OF his reelection,
The answer reported is sufficiently
vague to supply all the electioneering
requirements of the Grant speakers
and journals. Straightway they give
it an Interpretation best suited to their
local wants, all the time calling on
their hearers and readers to admire
the political profundity that sleeps at
the bottom of the Grant intellect.
One says that he is willing to let his
whole Cabinet 90 save single mem
ber another, that Harlan aspires to Il
place, with an excellent prospect Of
securing it in case of Grants success
while third has it that the President
will consider his present Cabinet prac-
ticallv yindicated by the reelection.
The latter is much the more natural
position for him to take. There are
no visible symptoms as yet in Grants
character of readiness to abandon
either persons Or purposes to which he
has attached himself for interested
reasons. He would much more read
lily accept his second election as a
popular approval and endorsement of
the heterogeneous Cabinet through
which he is known to the country,
than consent to change it with the
view Of placating the universal dis
satisfaction.
The truth is, he has no occasion to
90 further with his experiments in
Cabinet reconstruction. Beginning
with Washburne and Stewart and
Borie, he made personal traffic of the
State Department, discovered that he
was ignorant of the law in reference to
the Treasury, and permitted the Secre-
tary of the Navy to appoint success
sor entirely to please himself. Gen,
Cox was reconstructed out Of the ln-
terror Department because ofhis too
honest ardor and efforts for civil serv-
ice reform. And Judge Hoar was
pcremptorily invited to leave the At
tomey-Generals office to make room
for an Akerman, who subsequently
vacated his place for Williams. 1t
would tire one to recall the protests,
the criticisms, the ridicule, the out
right scofling, and the deserved de
nunciation Of the business men Of the
country, from year to year, that have
regularly opposed the action Of the
narrow financial comprehension of the
Secretary of the Treasury. And to
ask the intelligence Of American citi-
zenship to approve Of all this indlges-
tible mass Of Cabinet work, and to ask
for more of it besides, is a proposal
that argues so slight an acquaintance
with the public mind and want as at
once to place the one making it out
side the pale of popular approval him
self Finally, and worse than all, to
be assured that Harlan asplres to a
Cabinet place in certain contingency
for which he is laboring with might
and main is 50 much stronger proof
of the peril Of continuing the Grant
Administration, by packing it with
those whose Congressional service has
loaded them with wealth, that it can
not but decide the question once for
all with those who intend to improve
this opportunity to place Reform on
permanent basis.

"That strikes me as being a rather
vague account to render Of person

worse, so long as you do live" The
last speaker both looked and spoke III
an lIl-uscd tone, but he was in the gol
den age still, and an expression Of dis
satisfaction did not III become him,
The man he addressed was sufficiently

five years boldly y and well, it was eyi

Destructive Prairie Fires.

We have just passed through one OF
the most destructive prairie fires that
has ever visited the Verdigris valley.
1t came in fEom Fail river and struck
the head of the south branch, and
swept .eyeryshingxtE its track. S. V.
Bitter lost all of his hay and barely
and brayeIy saved his house. Hugh
c. Jackson lost all his hay. Daniel
Rush and SAM Piper lost everything
they had: George Elstoh' lost all his
hay. Mr.. Stolpy' lost all his aay and
other property. 1t came from thence
on-~the north Xerdigris. The first
farm it struck there was r. NJ. Clark's.
He lost 80 rods OF, fence and q part 81
his corn. Then it went down the
river, sweeping everything in its
course, Amos Miliner lost nearly all
idf2 isis ssEnce. William. Carriott lost
considerable fence and six acres OF
scorns Q DIR. Rlakely glost all of his
hay but yet DAN. is happy man. One
is a boy, and weighs IA, and the 9TH
eris boy. and weighs, IA. All OF
those men that lost. hay are cattle
men, and had large quantities of hay
put up. J. w. Bush had his stolen a
few nights ago.
Fall wheat looks finely, Corn is
turning out well. Potatoes are not as
good as in former years.
Our, voting place is not to be
changed, as it was rumored it was to
be: The polls will be opened at the
Ferren school house, as usual, and~I
would like to- see every man. in tiit
township turn out, as the issue has
simmered down to Grant and Greeley:
and let old Center give a. Fousisg5old
