THE LITTLE CHURCH BY THE SEA.

From the Sunday Magazine.I
Arts tender strokes In thee / seek in vain,
The polished corner anu the gaudy pane;
The walls are whitewa shed and the altar bare,
Yet how love thee, little house OF prayeri
Type truer OF the One who stopped so low,
Than the grand minister with It's stately show;
In whose high soaring pinnacles trace
Little which tells us OF the lowest place,
But, lowly house of God, read in thee
The winning smile OF true humility
And am touched-l long 10 lift the latch,
Ard bow knees Leneath thy roof of thatch-
The proud may sheer, but God does not DIS

The want ofsplendor In this nseagre fame,
Nor does he wish to sweep thy stones away
True witnesses for Jesus Christ are they;
Desplsed, unseen, such lowly churches preach
A lowly Christ within a sinners reach.

Sun says: The case of the Missouri, Kan

United States and the settlers upon the
Usage coded lands, will be argued in the
United States Supreme Court this week
The case is one of great magnitude. The
railroad company claims to have already
mortgaged the lands ior $50 90, 900, which Is
not more than one-third of their actual
value to the settlers. The railroad
company is represented by Senators Ed

Mr.. Phillips, the United States by the at
torney general, and the settlers by Judge
Black, Judge Lawrence OF Ohio, aud Gov.
Shannon, OF Kansas. This case vitality af-

States in 1908 for the Usage Indians, and
upon which they resided in accordance with
the terms of the treaty made by them with

then sold by them TO the United States on
condition that the United States would sell

both of which readers of the Tribune are
familiar; "Birds of Passage" most of which
have sung in the Atlantic Monthly, and
been reprinted In the columns of the Tri-

ter have given me much more pleasure than
am wont 10 receive from modern sonnets.
Some of them are very beautiful. The first
five are under the general heading of
"Three Friends of Nine" The tirsC sonnet,
which speaks of the three together, closes
with these lines:
In vain stretched my hands to clasp their
hands;
can not find them. Nothing now is left
But a majestic memory. They meanwhile
Wander together in Elysian lands,
Percnance remembering me, who am bereft
OF their dear presence, and, remembering,
smile.
The one numbered ". is so beautiful
throughout, and so especially tender and
touching in its conclusion, that will copy
il all:
River that stealest with such silent pace
Around the city OF the dead. where lies
A friend who bore thy name, and whom these
eyes
Shall see no more I'm his accustomed place,
Linger and fold him in thy soft embrace,
And say good night, for now the western skies
Are red with sunset, and gray mists arise
| Like damps that gather on a dead mans face
Good night! Good night; as we so oft have said
| Beneath this roof. At midnight, in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken thy lamp and gone TO bed
| stay a little longer as one stays
| To cover up the embers that still burn.
| In this sonnet there is the same sense O
the closing day-the same looking back witt
tenderness and forward with trust, which
made "Morituri Salutamus" so appeal Il
all our hearts. The day that thus descend'
towards the night has been blessed ant

1t was mean and malicious. no doubt, in
the Chicago Times to charge that Bristow's
wife and family on their return from abroad
had been permitted to land their baggage
without examination; but there was nothing
quite so ridiculous in the charge as there is
in the praise accorded Mr.. Bristow by some
of his defenders and admirers for causing the
baggage to be examined. It is a rare sight,
we admit, to see a republican member of the
cabinet recognizing the fact that he has no
more right to break or evade the law than
has the humblest citizen in the land; but to
especially commend him for doing so Is to
pslliate the offense of those who have done
otherwise. 1t is an admission that official
honesty and integrity is something which
We have hardly right to expect,

How Bar-room Liquors are Made.

a Ride with an Avalanche.
From the Salt Lake Tribune.


Last Thursday S. A. Shrum started for
the Reed and Benson mine, going by the
Flagstaff. and from thence to the top of
the ridge and along the ridge till he got
opposite the mine, when he went down the
mountain till he got within two hundred
yards Of the mine. Here he called to the
men at the mine, asking them the best
course to take to the mine. They directed
him as to the best course. but Just as he
got under Roadway, slide came down,
bringing. Shrum with it, over logs, stumps,
and cabins, and jumping q twenty foot
precipice, kept on its mad course down the
mountain, taking Shrum along, sometimes
on his head, sometimes on his feet, and
part.of the time under snow, rolling, tumb-
ling, pitching, tillsit had reached the dis,
tance Of 800 yards from the starting point
when the hero caught hold of q bush.
But the strain proved too great for the
size of the bush, and it gave way, which
left Shrum still on his travels; but it slack
ened his speed somewhat, and his next
grab was to a friendly stump that happened
to appear;ju just in tho nick of time, to which
he clapg like grim death to a sick Indian.
and the. slide passed on and left him.,
Strange. to relate, after taking such a fear,
ful ride, he was not hurt with the exception
Of a few bruises Shrum said that he had
been in many dangers, both by flood and
fire, earthquakes and Indian fights, but he
thinks this the tightest Of all, and wants
no more slides in his. stz

Pleasantries at Mardi Gras Ball,

The Virginia {Nevada) Chronicle of the
18th instant says. "The Mexican residents
Of this city gave ball in honor of Mardi
Gras on Saturday night, and the fun was
fast and furious. They had their egg
shells filled with finely clipped paper and
were continually hurting them at one
another, much to the amusement of all
save the party struck. About 2 o'clock,
we are told, a party of ladies from D street
came into the hall, accompanied by escorts,
and became much interested in the pro
ceeding. Having failed to provide them
selves with the stuffed eggs, they sent out
aud bought few dozen of the natural
stuffed eggs. The scene which followed
was particularly funny. One rather ancient
sport, whose bald head resembled boxing
glove, was hit twice on the pate with the
missiles, and went rushing from the hall
crying out that he had been Drained. A
bow-legged clerk in a dry goods store got
an egg square in the eye, and was blinded
for the nonce. The fair danes had fine
dresses ruined, and taken all in all it was
a most enjoyable affair. 1t didn't break
up in a row, but it was a frightful mess in
every respect"

Railroad Indebtedness.

We gave last week statement Of the
state debts ON which default has been
made. In this aggregate debts of all the
States were given at $382, 970, SIT, of which
S164, 73s, 900 was in default. The amounts
on which the railroads of the country are
IN default is larger still. The bonded debt
of all the railroads in the country is about
$1, $40, 900, 900, being considerably more
than one-half the amount of the national
debt Of this $497, ,807, 660 was in default
October of last year-that is 108 companies
had failed to pay their interest on this
amount OF debt. In many cases, however,
satisfactory settlements have been made
with the creditors, the companies agreeing
to fund the unpaid interest, and the credit
ors consenting to wait till better times
shall enable them to resume payment.
Suits against companies defaulting on
$23l, ,501, 656 have been commenced: COM
panies defaulting on $170, 125, 600 have
funded and are funding their arrearages
and companies defaulting on $1O7, 1000
remain in the same condition as when
default was made.
The figures show that the country has
built great many more railroads than it
had profitable use for, and that the enor-
nous railroad building mania that ragged
from 1866 to 1872 was an enormous expen-
diture of credit for what we did not need.
The consolation in the matter is the reflec-
tion that we will have the roads when we
do need them; it will take some western
States several years to grow up to their
railroads, but when they shall have done
this, the roads will prove powerful auziIia-
ries to the development of wealth.-Mss-
