Lay our baby FRANKIE
Low beneath the sod,
Fading flower of Spring time,
Gone to dwell with God.
Left this world of sorrow
For brighter sphere
Mourn him not in anguish,
Dry the flowing tear.
Flowers are blooming, FRANKIE,
O'er thy lowly bed;
Tears are gently falling
For the buried dead.
Fold the arms so gently
O'er the sleepeT's breast,
Calmly he's reposing,
Surely this is rest.
Knew he much of sorrow,
Oft felt racking pain,
Now no earthly anguish
Visits him again.
Now we leave thee, FRANKIE,
In thy lOWly bed.
Here wen often linger
BY thy spirit bed.
One who knows our sorrow,
Took thee far away.
Through this sad worlds trouble,
lie will be our stay.

High Salaries.

The raising Of Beecher's salary to $780,
900 year gives him the largest compensa-
tion in the Union. But one salary in the
world trahscends it-that Of the viceroy of
India, which is E5O,OOO, or S25O,OOO year,
though it is possible the salary of Lord
DuHerin, as Governor General Of Canada,
is 100000, or $4,000 a year. The am
bassadors of Great Britain at Paris and
Vienna receive but 5000 year. We are
told that II. B. Clafin pays his "credit
man." formerly President of the Bank Of
North America, Mr.. Donaldson, 800, 900 a
year, on account of unprecedented knowl-
edge of credit. The firm do business of
10000, 900 year, and this business is an
entirely credit one; therefore a skilled
knowledge of the buyers. their standing and
personal habits, is OF more value than ten
per cent. upon its amount; in other words,
it is profitable to Clafin to pay less than
two per cent. upon his sales to Mr.. Donald
son. There are many statesmen in the
leading houses in New York with salaries
reaching a. high a. $4,000, while the
leading journalist must content himself
with $l0.0OO-Iroy Times.

The Stockings of the Period.

The Paris shops are full of the most fan.
ciful designs in this one detail OF feminine
attire. They are made in cream color
lemon color, orange-yellow, straw color,
pink, pale, blue, pale green, lilac, ligh,
brown, dark brown, crimson, scarlet, pur-
pie, in short in every shade of every color.
But the precise tint is only half the ques-
ton; the designs worked upon the stock
ings are by far the most important part OF
it, as regards fashion, and these are OF the
most varied description.
One pair Of stockings which excited much
admiration from the passers-by Of a certain
well-known shop in Paris was a lemon col
or, and the instep of each foot was covered
with punches OF black currants, with their
twigs and leaves most delicately embroider-
ed in the colored silks.
Another example of ornamentation lay
close at hand, in the form of black silk
stocking, round ghe leg of which garter of
pink rosebuds and leaves winding upward
from the ankle Wis exquisitely embroidered.
This las, fashion is very popular Just now.
Stockings so embroidered, are, Of course,
enormously dear. Few women can afford
to buy many such expensive articles of
dress as these garlanded stockings; there
fore it becomes a matter of eager competi-
tion among the leaders of fashion to secure
as many specimens of the latest rage as
their purse will allow. The mania is in
ailled, and henceforth the woman of the
world takes rank according to her stockings.
Garlands of flowers do not hold the field
alone, it must be observed. In some cases
inscriptions and devices are embroidered
round the legs Of the modern stockings, and
rows and patterns are worked in colored
silk stars or spots. The ground, however,
Of all this work must, on no account, be
white.-Home Journal.

Awsy-crops Damaged.
Last week, Friday and Saturday, heavy
rains visited the upper portion OIL our coun-
ty, and the Cottonwood, Lebo, Eagel, Trou-
blesome and other creeks had an unprece-
dented rise in short time. Saturday af-
ternoon at this point the Neosho rose ten
feet, and before it subsided came up bank
full. About fifty feet of the center section
OF the dam of the Excelsior Touring mill
was swept away, and the water damaged
the race way to some extent.
A sad accident occurred on Troublesome
creek, near Jacob Leabo's. SUNDAY morn.
ing about ii o'clock Mr.. Leabo and Mr.. ].
NJ. Crale, OF California township, attempted
to cross Troublesome Creek, a small stream
which empties into Lebo near John Will
liams' place. Mr.. Leabo crossed the stream
successfully, but Mr.. Crale rode in and was
almost immediately separated from his
horse and swept down stream. He disap-
Peared in the swift current at once, and al
though Mr.. Leabo done his best to save
HIM his efforts were unavailing, and his
body was found some six hours after he
was drowned, a couple Of rods below where
he rode into the stream.
Esquire /. W. Dow summoned Jury and
held an inquest on the body, and a verdict,
was returned that he was accidentally
drowned.
Mr.. Crale has been resident of Kansas
about eighteen months, and his wife
and child are now in Vermont,
Fulton county, Illinois. He had been a
gallant soldier of the 9TH Illinois regiment
OF volunteers, and was severely wounded in
the knee during the war for the preserva-
tion of the Union. He had about hun.
dred head of cattle, and was greatly es-
teemed by those who knew him.
Lebo creek was fifteen feet above low wa
ter mark, and the water on Saturday was
four feet over the top of the bridge. The
bridge was swept off Saturday at 10 o'clock
A. NJ, and went down stream 800 yards,
where it lodged among the trees.
Geo. Price lost about 400 bushels of wheat
in the shock, which was completely del
uged, and We hear of others that had their
wheat damaged. The east approach of
Hickory creek bridge at Ottumwa was
washed out, and some damage done to the
bridge across the ravine near Hampden
afternoon some apprehensions
were felt for the safety of our iron bridge,
as the drift was running freely. Sunday
the river fell rapidly at this point, and all
danger from high water subsidized.
