PRESIDENT GRANT SAYS HE rs
ANXIOUS TO RETIRE.

A banquet was given General George
Crook in San Francisco on the evening
of the 18th instant, and United States
Senator Sargent, of California, respond
ing to the customary toast in honor Of
the President of The United States, made
the following statement respecting the
present incumbent Of the Office:
This man, whose will during the try
ing years Of civil var was the chiefhope
of the nation--whose lnfexible purpose
and tireless energy were as necessary to
success as the armies he directed and in
spired-this man Of iron. in the prime
Of his manhood, tires of public cares,
and will gladly seek for rest from ep-
pressive labor. For years past I have
had opportunity to observe and know
him and have learned to love and ad-
mire him. know him from his own
lips that ne looks with anxiety to the
speedy cpd of his service. In a recent
conversation he said to me: Il had no
rest during the war; had none under
the succeeding Administration-only
anxiety aud responsibility I have had
no rest during the past six years; Il have
two mere years of this labor to endure,
and shall be very glad when the end
comes. ;"

THE Two NEwsBoYs.-Ag gentle
man writing from one Of our large
cities, says
While passing along street one
evening my attention was arrested
by little newsboys, who said to his
companion: s
'Say, Charlie, how much money
have you made today"
"Twenty five cents"
"Jolly, is that SO? Don't tell your
mother how much you have made /;
keep part oft YOURSELF
The little fellow Strengthened up,
and with great earnestness exclaim-
ed:
"Do goa think I acou1d tell ney
mother q ie?h
Turning to the little fellow with
an approving smile, I said, sThat is
right, my boy, always tell the truth"
Noble little fellow! if he abldes by
that principle OF truth, he may rise
from his humble position to one of
usefulness and honor.
Honest boys make honest men, and
honest men make happy homes, good
citizens, fair dealers, true Christians,
and just legislators; while dishon-
esty fills the land with suffering and
wickedness, and peoples jalls and
prisons with both young and old.
Could granite walls and IRON bars
speak to US, they would tell us the
sad fate of thousands who began
their downward career by deceiving
and lying. Children, if you wish to
shun the downward road to ruin-if
you wish to make glad the hearts of
your parents, and above all, if you
wish to please your Heavenly Faith
er. tell the truth, for oLying lips are
an abomination to the Lord; but they
that Geal truly are His delight. !"

RUBBER CEMENT, There are
several kinds Of India rubber &C.
ment. The best known is "marine
glue" A cheaper cement and one
that is highly recommended, is made
by cutting quantity ofpure India
rubber, in It's natural state, into
small pieces, putting them in a
'wide-mouthed bottle and filling 1t
about half full ofthe purest benzine;
the rubber win swell Up almost
immediately, and if well shaken will
in a few days assume the consistency
Of honey. If the rubber does not
dissolve add more benzine. II
when dissolved the cement is 100
thin, add more gum. A piece Of
rubber one inch in diameter will
a pint Of cement. This dries in
few minutes and is very useful in
uniting pieces Of leather, as it is
both elastic and durable. In mend
ing rubber goods put patch of
rubber over the place to be mended
and cement in on with the solution,
which fashions the patch firmly. !.

From the Statesman.
PASSING OVER.

In cottage by the woodlands,
Lay the mothers only child,
Death had put his seal upon her,
But her face was calm and mild.
Through the lattice of the window,
Cast the sun his parting ray,
While the mother sat and watched her,
Through tie hours of parting day.
''Oh. my God and must the angels
Take my darling child away?
Wherefore can she not be spared me,
Why no longer with me stay
But why do sigh and murmur ?
Lord, thy righteous Will be done
II cannot keep my darling,
Let the angels take her home"
weep not, darling mother, weer not
All is light within the room
Ait I see some bright ones standing:
Mother have the angels come
Is 1t true Dram dreaming?
See them bending down and smile,
Mother tell them not not to hurry
Tell them, please, to wait awhile.
am growing chilly, mother,
Press me closer to your breast,
Hear you not the nightwinds sighing,-
I'm so tired-let me rest.
And my eyes too, DAZZLING mother,
Are so strangely growing dim
Lay me down to rest now mother,
Sing to me parting hymn.
Seems I'm II a valley mother,
But the angels whisper come
And beyond the river, mother,
White robed ones are beckoniEg home.
Pearly gates swing on their hinges,
Lo! the city loved so well!-
Trees of Life and streams refreshing
Kiss me, mother, now farewellr'
Back she lay upon her pillow,
Glasped her hands in silent prayer,
One more sigh, and all is over,
She is with the angels fair.
In the lonely grave they laid her,
Much beloved, believed with tears,
Past forever signs and sorrows,
Fast forever pain and tears.
Yonder meath the dropping willow.
Is her grave by angels kept,
A forget me-not is blooming,
Where loving mother wept,
Zephyr's kiss the flowers that deck 1t.
Birds IN twilight chant their lays,
Mournfully the dove bemoans it,
Through the sunny summer days.
But her spirit, free forever,
Is not bound to lifeless clay,
1t has taken wings and risen
To eternal realms of day.
With the white robed throng in glory,
There eternal anthems sing,
She has found home forever,
In the mansions of her King.

A BUTTER MAKERS EXPERIENCE

j. p. Ellsworth, OF Barre, Mass, who
knows good butter and makes it, thus
writes to a brother butterer :-"I have
tried scaldirg milk at different tempera-
lures for butter, and have settled on
1900 as the best mercurial point. Less
than 1909 will not destroy the germs of
the puterfaction. I have been told that
1909 makes the milk, cream and butter
taste scalded. [ scald as soon as the
milk is drawn. After scal6ipg the milk
is allowed to stand in large pans without
cooling. only as the temperature Of the
room, which should be about 60o, Gets
upon it. Deodorizing the milk by pour
ing in hot water and cooling it with
cold is Objectionable, the former tending
to soften and melt the butter globules,
and the other to harden them.-Western

He says that, if it is thought necessa-
ry to have night watch at all he should
possess qualifications adapting him to
the discharge of the duties Of that posi-
ton; be should be perfectly reliable,
efficient and fearless; and tie city can
hardly expect to obtain the services of
such man for less than $50 per month
Does he mean by this that Mr. Buddle,
Hunt or the others were not such men ?
It is very evident that the Alderman is
not in the habit Ct employing men in
these times or he would not talk IN this
manner. and when he intimates that Mr..
B. is not reliable, efficient and fearless
1t is quito clear that be does not know
the man at all.
Alderman also says that $400 per year
as fixed by tho former council is COM
pensation conceded by every one to be
Inadequate for the duties required Of that
officer.
Then again be is entirely mistaken or
why did the former council fix it at that
figure; The vote was nearly unanimous, as
he can see by turning to the Records
and the former council was composed OF
nearly as intelligent BODY Of men as
the present council are.
MI. Stahl made the oferto light, ex-
tinguish and care for the lamps for 81
per day or So 65 for the year, which is
nearly as. low as that duty was rendered
last year.
Now where does he obtain his infor-
nation? The city has never paid over
60 cents per night for that duty. Now
let us make few figures and see how
they will compare with the Aldsrman's,
Take outthe moonlight nights and the
lamps will not necessarily burn over $40
lights during the year,which atG0 cts per
uight would be $t32 instead of $365-a
slight difference of only $2s3, but we
must add the few kerosene lamps that he
makes so much of and cal. tic difference
5000.
1t is very evident that the Alderman
was misinformed, for no one would &C.
cuse an Alderman Of making a false
statement IF we should pay $12 per
lamp for lighting them, &C., it would
cost just 5000 per year for fifty lamps
which is mere than the Whole would cost
lighted with kerosene, as any one can see.
It is not necessary to go over all the
ground that the Alderman has gone over
but simply show that he is wrong and
misinformed OF the gas question, and |
will only say that if it takes about two
hours to extinguish Gas A-says it does
it must keep him busy about A hours.
Now [ venture to say that good smart
boy or man can light or extinguish them
in one hour, and instead Of paying so
cents per night for lighting and extin .
gnishing we are now paying nearly three
times that amount for the nights that the
duty is actually performed which is all
We should pay for. Why should we pay
Mr.. Stahl or any one else 81 per night
for doing nothing these beautiful moon
~ 4.
lighted? If the present council does not
figure better aud light the streets for less
money than has been offered by the Gas
company they had better let the job to
the Gas company, or some one else, or the
citizens and tax payers will demonstrate
against lighting the streets at all.

WASHINGTON.

The Change in the Internal Revenue
Bureau-COmmcnts on the Abrupt
Removal of DOuglas-BristOw VIII
Make u Clean Sweep-Our Mexican
Relations, Etc.
WASHINGTON, May THE abrupt
change in the head of the Internal rev.
enue bureau has created considerable
surprise here. 1t was rumored few
months ago that Commissioners Doug
las would retire to take position as
United States judge for the western
Pennsylvania district, but the rumor
died away gradually, and 1t was
thought that he would continue In the
office he had filed for so long time:
1t was also intimated that he would
be appointed to the court of claims,
and is certainly true that he expected,
at that time, to receive higher ONCE
in case he was removed. AS it stands
it is not positive that he will not
receive all appointment mt the
hands of the president that will
compensate him for the loss OF
the commissonership. He has been
assured by both Grant and Bristow
that the removal was not on account
of any suspicion of his personal integ-
rity. 1t is charged in some quarters
that his friendship with such demo-
Gratis as Beck, of Kentucky, and such
republicans as Foster, of Ohio, who
Were both instrumental in the expos
ure Of the Sanborn frauds, had the
effect to prejudice t epresident against
him. Many congressman have com
planned that Douglas was not politi-
clan, and would not permit his office
to be used for political purposes. 1t Is
not definitely known when Pratt will
take charge, but it will probably not be
later than the first of July next. The
