its sight,
And very lately have seen what has aroused. my
fears,
And made my pillow hard at night, and moistened
it with tears.
I'VE seen light within your eye, upon your cheek
glow,
That told me you were on the road that leads to
shame and Woe;

stay more upon the dear old farm, there's danger
in the town.
Remember what the poet says-Iong years have
proved it true 81
That Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands
If you live on in idleness with those who love the
bowl,
You'll dig yourself drunkard's grave, and wreck
your deathless soul.
Your father John, is growing old; his days are

If you keep hitching Dobbin up to drive into the

Your prospects for the future are very bright my
Not many have your start in life when they are

Your tar that shines so brightly now, in darkness
will decline,
IF you forget your mothers words and tarry at the

An Ancient C0rnse.

A letter from Abo, Russia, to the Mil
waukee Wisconsin, says g But particu-
larly must the traveller go down into a
vault below the floor of the church and
witness the tombs or collins Of the nu-
merous dead of certain ducal family,
whose name do not remember. These
collins are piled one above another like
bales or boxes of goods. The room is
dungeonish enough, and my wife was
very decided in the expression of her
opinion that she would not like to be left
down there with the great stone slab shut
in the door.
7" The lid OF one of these collins was
raised, showing what was claimed to be
the body of young lady which had been
lying In that vault for two hundred years.
Hair was still observable upon the head.
I laid my hand on the body and it was
impossible as if composed of rubber.
It is claimed that, by reason of the pecu-
liar character of the emil alment the con
dition of preservation is attained.
g The books in the pews of the church
at Abo looked as if they might have
been thumbed and used by the poor
girl whose body I touched in the crypt
below - Nm

In the bark with a Wolf.

The FislkiH Journal tells the follow
ing on the authority of Delaware
county gentleman of undoubted yeracity
" A number of years ago wolves were
quite thick in the town of Chichester,
Delaware county, N. Y. Sandy Lown,
on one occasion, tracked two wolves into
% sort of cavern in the rocks. Unlike
Gen. Putnam. who had a companion to as
sist him lowering himinto the den, Sandy
was all alone. Nothing daunted, he pro-
cured light, crawled into the den, and

wolves, his aim being guided by the
glaring eyeballs of the savage beast, APP
pearing like two balls of fire as they re-
lected the rays of the light But, hor-

his piece, his light went out, and he was

Indian Pensions.

Ever since the late war great num-
Der of pension cases have been suspend
ed in the Indian Territory, whore three
regiments of Cherokees were recruited
for the Union army. The Indian claim
ants have labored under great disadvant-
ages from their ignorance of the steps
necessary to secure a pension, and on
account of the outrageous manner in
which they are generally swindled by
agents and attorneys to whom they in
trust their business. With the view of
making settlements of these old claims,
Acting Secretary Cowen recently de-
tailed one clerk from the Indian Office
and one from the Pension Office to visit
the Indian Territory and make thor
ough examination of them all. 1t is his
intention to have them all carefully in
vestigated and classified, so that they
may be presented to Congress for its
action during the approaching session.
There are, it is said, LOO Cherokee
Union soldiers entitled to pensions.

Forgotten Greatness.

When Andy johnson died, a few weeks
ago, we were reminded that he was the
last of the living ex-Presidents. But
don't know that anybody has noticed the
fact that there still live three men who
have been Presidential candidates, and
that all three are residents of this State.
Horatio Seymour, who was the candidate
against Grant, when first put up, is a
farmer in the western part OF this State,
but takes no active part IN its politics,
except as an occasional advise, of the
Democratic party In matters of policy.
Gen. George B. Mcclellan, who was q
candidate against Lincoln when up for
a second term, has house in this city,
but generally resides, when not in Eu-
rope, over at his place in New Jersey.
Gen. Fremont, who ran against James
Buchanan in 1856, is still dabbler in
railroads, and has his residence at Ta1ry-
town, up the Hudson. believe these
are all the living ex-candidates. Greeley
died will. his failure, and Doulgas. Breck-
inridge, and Bell, who ran with Lincoln
in 1860, are now all dead with Lincoln.
Seymour is the only one of the ex-candi-
dates who is ever talked of all nominee
hereafter, and suppose such talk is con-
fined to few old Democratic politicians
of this State. He is hale, hearty man
of IS, mainly engrossed in cheese making
and pisciculture. -NeaO York Letter.

DR.. Innis' Fortune in Prospect.

The Vicksburg Monitor has the fol-
lowing paragraph about one of the citi-
zens of that town Cdr. S. B. Innis re-
turned to this city yesterday after an
absence of several weeks in Canada,
where he has been to look after very
important chancery suit, involving the
immense sum of $14,000,000. The case
is one which is little known here,
but which has an Importance that has at
tracted attention all over England. In
1889 Lady Jane Innis died, possessed of
the large Innis estates In Stow, Scotland.
Her brother, the grandfather of DR.. Sid
.ney B. Innis and his three brothers,
came to this country and was lost sight
of, and about two years ago bis heirs
were discovered. Others, however, put
in claim, and the legal battle is now be-
tween them and our friend DR.. S. B.
Innis, of this city, and his brothers.
The case has been In court since 1862,
and has now been postponed until the
next term of the court at Ottawa, Canada
West.

POstmasters' Salaries.

As repeated inquiries have been made

secure readjustment of their salaries,
the Postofice Department authorizes the
following explanation: Offices of the sec
ond and third classes, the business Of
which shows an increase of 90 per cent.
above their present salary, are entitled
to readjustment, only provided that the
four quarters ending June 80, 1876, show
the necessary increase, at the reduced
rates-that is, so per cent. on the first
800; 40 per cent. on the next 5000; 80
per cent. on the next $4,000, and the
balance at 10 per cent. If, after a care
full count, Postmasters at such Offices
find that the sum total is 20 per cent.
more than they are now receiving, they
should ask the First Assistant Postmas-
ter General to make a special readjust-
ment, and, if found correct, they will be
paid the increased salary from the COM
mencement of the next quarter after

been communicated to the Postmaster

THE ABsURDITY OF IT.

1t is all very well, for the poets to tell,
BY way OF their song adjoining,
OF milkmaids who arouse, to manipulate COWS,
At five O'Clock in the morning:
And OF moony young mowers who bundle out
doors m
The charms of their straw-beds scorning-
Before break Of day, to make love and hay
At five o'clock in the morning!
But between and you, it is all untrue
Believe not word they utter:
70 no milk-maid alive does the finger of five
BRING beaux-or even bring butter.
The poor sleepy cows, if tolu to arouse
Would do SO, perhaps, in horn-ing;
But the sweet country girls, would they show their
curls,
At five o'clock in the morning?
1t may not wrong for the man in the song
Or the Inoon--if anxious to SETTLE
To kneel in wet grass, and pop but alas
What If he popped down on . nettle?
For how could he see what under his knee
If in spite of my friendly warming,
He went out OF bed and his house and his hea
At five o'clock in the morning?
1t is all very we'll, such stories to tell
But if were maid, all forlorn-ing,
And lover should drop, in the clover, to pop,
At five o'clock in the morning;
IT liked him. you see, I'd say, "Please call at
three"
If not I'd turn on him with scorning
6 Don't come here, you fat, with conundrums like
that,
At ave O'Clock in the morning /"

DROWNING OF DIR. PORTEOUs.

Tragic Result of a Religious Controver-
sy on ~ Sailing Excursion.
The facts In the case of the drowning
of the Rev. DR.. Porteous, prominent
Brooklyn divine, were as follows: There
was in the yawl basket containing
luncheon and liquors, and the members
of the party refreshed themselves occa-
sionally from its contents. About 5
o'clock the ladies and the two children
of DR.. Porteous were landed ct Sea Cliff,
and the Doctor proposed to 90 to Glen
Cove and get drink, no LIQUORS being
obtainable at Sea Cliff. At Glen Cove
they drank several times, and Koop says
that when they started to return Benja-
min was quite intoxicated; DR.. Porteous
was somewhat under the influence of
ardent spirits, and he himself was not
altogether sober. Koop was rowing the
yawl, DR.. Porteous was sitting in the
stern, while Benjamin, with Hoops two
boys, was In the bow of the boat. A
theological discussion, which had COM
menced earlier in the afternoon, between
Benjamin and DR.. Porteous, was renewed
when they were some little way from the
shore, and, as it grew more earnest,
Benjamin started toward the stern of the
boat, evidently for the purpose of sitting
beside the Doctor while continuing
the conversation. As Beniamin passed
Koop he stumbled. He was a heavy
man, and his whole weight rested for a
moment upon one foot, which was placed
upon the gunwale of the yawl, and the
boat was Instantly upset and its occu-
pants thrown into the water to struggle
for their lives as best they could. Ben
jamin confidently struck out for shore,
but the result proved that he had over
estimated his powers, as he failed to
reach land. Koop and his two boys
managed to reach the bottom of the
yawl, and DR.. Porteous grasped hold of
| it, but the boat turned over, and all par
ties were precipitated into the water.
Koop and his children managed to re-
gain the yawl, but the Doctor failed to
reach it. A boat from schooner near
by, from which their dangerous condi-
ton had been seen, speedily rescued
Koop and the two boys, and another
yawl, which came up, towed the sense
less form of DIR. Porteous to the shore,
instead of lifting it into the boat and
taking measures for It's resuscitation.
The climax of blunders was capped by
the criminal stupidity of the persons on
the shore. who allowed the probably only
half dead clergyman to lie in the water
in Difference to the popular superstition
that it is improper to touch q body
until the arrival of the Coroner.

reward allowed by the town.

A Little Game Of !" Draws

It was pleasant and right sociable
little party that sat around a little pine
table, in the rear of G street grocery,
night before last. There were five men
in the party, and they sat on candle
boxes, end up. A candle illuminated
the board, enabling the reporter (who
had dropped in to get pound of sugar.
to see that each man had a number of
white beans in front of him. They
were playing cards, and kept pushing
from one to the other a big jack-knife,
which they called "the buck, . proba-
bly, from the fact that it had buckhorn
handle, maybe, perhaps. One man
seemed to be doing most of the talking.
His name was Sam Griggles. He talked
like philosopher, and the reporter sat
down on a beer key and listened to him.

A hush fell upon the corner grocery as
she walked In with o shawl over her head
and brought him one on the side of the
head that sent his cards flying and upset
his cocktail Neither of them spoke
word, but he looked as if he had lost
one foot of his six as he followed her
out. Even the subdued smoker behind
him couldn't make him look meaner. -
