IN THE BoTToM DRAWER I saw wife
pull out the bottom draw of the old fam
ly bureau this evening, and went softly
out, and wandered up and down, until ]
knew she had shut it up and gone to her
sewing. We have some things laid away
in that drawer which the gold of kings
could not buy, and yet they are relics
which greye US until both our hearts are
sore. l haven't dared look at them for a
year, but remember each article.
There are two worn shoes, a little child's
hat with part of the brim gone, some
stockings, pants, coat, two or three
spools, bits Of broken crockery, whip.
and several toys. Wite-poor thlng-goes
to that drawer every day of her life and
prays over it, and lets her tears fall upon
the precious articles.
Sometimes we speak Of little Jack, but
not often. 1t has been a long time, but
somehow we can't get over grieving. He
was such burst OF sunshine in our lives
that his going away has been like covering
our every day existence with pail. Some
times, when we sit alone Of an evening,
writing, and she sewing, child on the
street will call out as our boy used to, and
both will start up with beating hearts and
wild hope, only to find the darkness more
of burden than ever
1t is still and quiet now. | look up at
the window where his blue eyes used to
spurhlo at my coming, bat he is not there
listen for his pattering feet, his merry
shout and his ringing laugh, but there is
no sound, There is no one to climb over
my knees, no one to search my pockets
and tease for presents, and ! never find
the chairs turned over, the broom down,
or ropes tied to the door-knobs.
| want some one to tease me for my
knife; to ride on my shoulder; TO lose
my axe to follow me to the gate when |
go, and to be there to meet me when
come; to call "good night" from the
little bed. now empty. And wife, she
misses him still more; there are no little
feet to wash, no prayers to say; no voice
teasing for Jumps of sugar or sobbing
with the pain of a hurt toe; and she
would give her own life, almost, to awake
at midnight and look across to the little
crib and see our boy there as he used to
be.
So we preserve our relics, and when we
are dead, we hope that strangers will
handle them tenderly, even if they shed
no tears over them. [Chicago Fireside
Friend
In Sonora County, California, a few days
ago, a mule was drawing a load of lime,
which encouraged by brisk shower went
into vigorous combustion. The wagon
took fire, but the mule, resenting this de-
monstration in the vehicle, and with view
perhaps OF investigating it, stood still
The driver suggested that he proceed;
but the mule put his fore foot to the front
and laid his ears to the rear, and maintained
his ground. In due time the fire on the
wagon singed the mule. Then it scorched
him. Then it blistered him. Then it roast
ed him. But he never moved. There was a
principle at stake, and he calcinated in his
tracks in support Of it. When the process
had ended all that was left of what had
been mule was half barrel OF ashes

| to mcct.-l recommend that the last difficult,
| to which have referred be obyiated so far as
| possible by authorizing the treasurer to make
| Investments also in the securities of other New
| England States
| Should the legislature concur with me in the
advlsability of renewing that part of the public
oebt maturing on or before June 1899, the sink
ing fund of 1865 may be abolished, the State
bonds IN the same cancelled, and the small
amount of o. s. bonds in the fund transferred
to the sinking fund of 1888. All the State bonds
IN the latter sinking fund may also be cancelled,
toSetler With all the bonds of this State matur-
ing IN oct. 1889 which may hereafter be pur-
chased. Ihus there will remain in the sinking
1und ol 1868 only $4,000, in United States Sc
cur1ties, to be increased hereafter by such pur-
chases OF similar securities or of bonds of other
New England States as may be rendered nee
essary by the inability to obtain bonds of this
state at par. The probability indeed is that BY
sucn an arrangement not only the sinking fund
OF 1863 can be abolished, but also, by an ex-
change Of securities which would be feasible
when bonds of our State are no higher than of
the other New England States, the maintenance
OF the slnNing fund of 1868, in even modified
form, be rendered unnecessary.

Prof Richard A. Proctor's virtual CONVEX
sion 10 Darwinism was the feature of his
lecture delivered in Boston Sunday evening.
He was bred Roman Catholic, and in his
earlier works he maintained, by implication
at least, the main features of the Mosaic
account of creation. He now quotes from
one of his lectures, delivered during his for
mer sojoUrn here, TO show that he then held
and expressed precisely the views of the in
herent potentiality or life in matter, and
the impoSsibility of knowing the Creator
behind matter, the utteraace Of which at Bel
fast made Professor Tyndall so obnoxious
Prof. Proctor's views as now expressed, how
ever, will excite no little comment.

The New York Tribune, OF yesterday, in
speaking of the false dispatches from St
Louis, which endeavored to implicate Gen.
Babcock and the Presidents brother in the
whisky ring, declares that Ito invent such
scandal, publish II broadcast, and telegraph
1T throughout the country, is about as out
rageous piece of trifiing at once with pri-
yate character and public interests as the
country has ever witnessed" What will the
11Rt'ae say Of Washington dispatch to
Boston paper supplementing that scandal in
adding t.at lit is said General Babcock and
Oryille Grant have gone 10 ST. Louis to get
their share OF the profits" in the whisky ring?
The falsity OF the latter report could have
been aseertained by ten minutes of active
inquiry.

The humane Bergh is kept pretty busy
looking after the suffering Quadrupeds, but
does find time to iaterfere TO prevent cruelty
10 bipeds OF the genus homo. His last ex-
ploit in this direction, which is loudly APP
plauded in New York, was To rescue a little
acrobat, seven or eight years of age, from
The terrible bondage in which he was held by
Lis inhuman master. The little fellow was
compelled by kicks and cuffs TO perform the
most perilous feats, which he did with fear
and trembling, knowing that If he made the
slightest mistake he would be mercilessly
beaten. The arrest, which was made during
public performance, was loudly applauded
by the audience.

The CINCINNATI Commercial is undou5se dly
a high toned jOurnal. ITsteai OF frankly
admitting that the story OF the indictment
OF Gen Babcock aud Orville Grant in the
whisky business was a villainous invention
OF the whisky ring, that paper now says that
elf they were not in the ring it is because
they couldn't get there" and adds: ave do
Lot see why there should be sensitiveness in
speaking of such fellows. They are suspi-
eious characters" So in the opinion of Mr..
Halstead any hesitancy about circulating a
malicious lie against opposition fellows" is
piece of nawkish sentimentality! This
may be heightened journalism of the moi
ern sort, but old-fashionei people would call
ii by another name.

The Baltimore Gdze1e makes a savage
raid upon the candidacy of Sam. rainfall for
the Speakership, and charges that active
trading Is going on IN Washington to secure
his election, and that there is Imminent
danger that the schems will succeed The
Gazette says that "the plan To secure Mr..
HandalIs election is 10 unite the imitation
members of the democratic side of the House
with the republicans by divers pledges and
assurances, and thus defeat a more uncom-
promising Independent democrat for the
place. II is maintained that as an extreme
protectionist Mr.. Randall would throw the
control OF the important committees into
the same power which now controls them
under Mr.. Blaine, and would thus aid the
republicans in carrying out their ruipous
high tariff policy. Furthermore, 1t is more
ihan hinted that those republican members
with furnished records, who fear the conse-
Quences of rigid investigations of sundry
acts OF legislative jo5bary, for suspicious
reasons, are strongly in favor OF Mr.. Ran
dali" This Indian talk by the Gazette serves
as an illustration of the Kilkenny fight
going on amongst the hard and soft money,
and free trade and tariff sections of the de-
mocracy over the Speakership. AT the rate
the various candidates are being "chawed
mp" in this contest, there won't be a yestige
OF one left by the time Congress meets.

The Cincinnati Gazette publishes a batch
OF correspondence alleged to have passed in
The summer of 1874 between a prominent
lawyer of st. Louis and Mr. Douglass, then
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, designed
to show the impossibility of then securing
action against the whisky ring from the
proper officers of the Treasury. Accord
ing to this correspondence Mr.. Douglass
was put in possession Of all the chief points
which have been subsequently brought out
by Secretary BristOws investigation. In
the February following the dates OF these
letters, Secretary Bristow, upon receiving a
simple statement from another source that
great whisky ring existed in st. Louis,
which could be easily broken up if it was
proceeded against without the knowledge of
the internal revenue office, at once instituted
the effective investigation which has pro-
dueed such startling and wholesome results.
tx Secretary Richardson and ex-Commis-
sioner Douglass now have the floor If they
have any explanation TO make.
