THE CHURCH SPIDER.

Two spiders, as the story goes,
Upon living bent,
Entered the meeting-hOnse one day,
And hopefully were heard to say
ssHere we will have at least. fair play,
With nothing TO prevent.
Each chose his place and went to work
The light webs grew apace;
One on the altar spun his thread,
But shortly came the sexton dread,
And swept him off, and so half dead,
He sought another place.
ssI'n try the pulpit next" said he,
"There snrely is a prize;
The desk appears so neat and clean,
I'm sure no spider there has been
Besides, how often have | seen
The pastor brushing flies.
He tried the pulpit, but alas.
His hopes proved visionary;
With dusting hrnsh the sexton came,
And spoiled his geometrIc game,
Nor gave him time or space to claim
The right of sanctuary.
At length, half starved and weak an'
lean.
He sought his former neighbor,
Who now had grown so sleek and round
He weighed fraction of pound,
And locked as if the art he'd found
OF living without labor.
"How is it, friend" he asked, "that
Endure such thumps and knocks, .
While you have grown so very gross!'
90 'Tis plain he answered-''not los

The contribution box"

Adams avenue, husband and wife.
She had the front steps washed the
other night while he was down town,
and when he returned home and

AS he was falling around the wife

"What made you fall down, Pc

He pitched against the door in his
efforts to stand up and answered:
"Don't You know anything, you

"What is it-ice?" she asked.
"You don't suppose I'd fall down
on sand, do you!' he shouted. 81

A Noble Bird.
From the Walla-Walla Statesman

From the Walla-W ana oCaIesliiah'J
A few days since Mr.. Messenger,
of this county, was up on Snake
river, with a team, accompanied by
his dog. He was driving along leis-
Iurely, when all of a sudden bald
eagle swooped down and grasping the
dog by the small of the back attempt
ed to fly away with him. The dog
was too heavy and the eagle missed
his prize, although 10th to give it up.
In the mean time Mr.. Messenger got
his gun, and by well-directed shot
brought down the monarch Of the
skies, who proved to be a monster
bird. The eagle was brought into
town and found to measure over
seven feet from tip to tip OF MS
wings. He is what is known as the
black variety, and by all o Ids the
largest eagle ever seen in this sec
tion of the country.

A Homestead Bigger Than the
State of Rhode Island.
[From the Denver News.l

from the Denver NEWS
The ranch of John S. Chisum, of
BOsque Grande, New Mexico, was
sold to Colonel r. ID. Hunter, of st.
Louis, the other day, for $4,000,
one half cash down. The purchase
includes the 10000 head of cattle
now on the ranch. During the past
summer Mr.. Chisum has sold to Col
orado, Kansas City and st. Louis
buyers about 10000 head of beef cat
tie. Besides these, he has supplied
some 5000 head to contractors in
New Mexico and Arizona. The
ranch extends along the Pecos River
from Fort Sumner to Seven Rivers,
a distance of $50 miles. This is its
scope north and south. East and
west it extends as far as q man,
mounted on a good horse, can ride
during one summer-practically as
far on each side of the stream as stock
can range without water. The range
on both sides of the river is high,
rolling prairie, covered with thick,
heavy growth of black gramma,
most nutritious grass. During this
past summer the grass over much of
this area has stood knee high to cat
tie. The residence buildings are sit
uated in the center Of the ranch.
Stations, or cow-camps, are located
on the river at intervals of 80 and
40 miles. Two hundred herders have
been employed on the ranch the past
summer. At time this season the
horses numbered 5000 head. A sue
cessful raid by redskins reduced this
number to about l, 900. Colonel Hun
ter, the purchaser of this vast estate,
will engage more extensively than
Mr.. Chisum in the breeding business.
He has just bought 200 saddle horses
for use at the February roundup.

One hundred years ago the cotton
gin, the steamship, the railroad, the
telegraph, the reaping, sewing, and
modern printing machines, and nu-
merous other inventions of scarcely
less value to our business and happi-

1776, manufactures scarcely existed,
even in name, in all the vast terri

to the events of his early life, and on one
memorable occasion he did so most clio.

South Carolina, he said: -

EX-Speaker Blaine has devised a plan for
putting the agitation of the school Question
arrest. In a letter written lust after tbe Ohio
election, and now first published. he shows
that there IS nothing in the Constitution
preventing majority of the people of ony
State from having an established chuch if
they desire, and recommends the adontion
OF the old Jetfercol Madison amendment
offered IN 1889, as follows: - No State shall
make any law respecting an establishment
OF religion 9r prohibiting the free exercise
thereof; and no money raised by taxation
IN eny state for the support of public
schools, Or derived from any public fnnd
therefor, shall ever be under the control of
any religious sect, nor shall any money so
ra!se'. ever be devided between RELIGIONS
Sects or denominations" Mr.. Blaine adds.
" his, you Will observe. does not Interfere
with any State having Just such = school
system as its citizens may p?efer-subiect
to the single and simple restriction tb9t
the schools shall not be made the arena for
~'ctarlan controversy or theological dispu
tatlon. This adjustment. it seems to me
would he comprehensive and conclusive
ana w@uld be fair alike to Catholic and
Protestant. Jew and Gentile-!eoyine the
religious faith and the conscience Of every
man free and Unmolested."
