POLITICAL MEMORANDA.

EX-SENATOR PoMERoY has lately dis
tinguished himself by inventing an indel-
ible ink.
THE most difficult politician to inter
view at present is Gov. Hendricks, of
Indiana.
SECRETARY BR1sTow is mentioned as a
possible candidate for the Presidential
nomination.
LINDSEY Carson, brother of the
famous Kit, is candidate for the Cali
fornia Senate.
GEN. FARNswoRTH is spoken of as a
probable anti-Republican candidate for
Governor of Illinois.
Ex-GovERNoR CURTIN, of Pennsylva-
mia, has declined the Independent nom
ination for Governor.
EX-SENATOR HARLAN has returned
+ from Washington to Mount Pleasant,
Iowa, and purposes passing the summer
in that State.
GENERAL BUTLER S new house IN Wash
ngton will, it is said, be the finest of the
many fine residences there. 1t will be
completed and ready for occupancy next
fall.
GEN. SHERMAN is about as heavily l1n
der fire now as he ever was In his life.
IF he ever had any ambition for the
Presidency he has probably abandoned
it by this tiples-NeaU York Tribune.
GATH is now st. Louis editor, and

Future City,
/ Hon. WILLIAM E. SMITH, of Milwau-
kee, formerly of Fox Lake, Wis, and
once Secretary of State of Wisconsin,
who was Washsurn's principal compel
itor for the gubernatorial nomination in
! 1871, has suddenly appeared as a candi-
date for the same position.
MATT. CARPENTER announces that he
will defend the whisky dealers or any
body else that will employ him, and
says "My present impression is
though I should want more time to con-
slider it-that I should even defend an
editor sued for libel.
THE death of Gen. Breckenridge leaves
but four gentlemen living who have been
elected to the second highest office in
the United States. They are Hannibal
Hamlin, Andrew johnson, Schuyler Col
fax, and Henry Wilson. The mortality
among Presidents does not seem to
be as great as among the Presidents. Mr.
johnson is the only ex-President now
living, and he was not elected to that
office by the people. Exchange.
The liquor dealers of Connecticut
have found the license law so irksome
that they have issued circular inviting
contributions from the different liquor
interests to a fund to be employed in
the procurement of favorable legisla-
ton. The circular conclude wit, the
declaration that g they have no doubt
that they will be able to accomplish
much, provided funds are obtained fol

THE pawpaw, or " forbidden fruit, !"
grows to the weight of three pounds or
more in Florida. It is of light, yellow
color when ripe, and has flavor similar
to musk melon. The juices of this tree
tend to separate the fbers in meats when
immersed therein, and the vapor Of the
tree answers the same purpose. The
toughest joints of meat, poultry, etc., are
rendered tender BIZ being hung among
the branches.

Crows, Nests Made OF Fishbones.

The crows who live near my wood al
ways build their nests of interviewer
sticks and twigs, and they are strong
enough to last year after year, if they
are not as handsome as those of some
other birds. But one of 1ny crow-neigh-
bors tells me that be has cousins who
live on PARKWAY islands where there are
neither trees nor shrubs, and these crows
build their nests, and very good-looking
ones too, of the dried and bleached bones
of large fish that have been thrown, up
on the shore.
Queer nests, I should think, but they
show the ingenuity and perseverance of
the birds. How much better than to sit
down and cav sulkily that they will not
build any nests at all, because they can't
get just the material they prefer for the
pUrpose.-'' Jnck-jsa-the-P Pulpit.

GEN. SHERMAN's life, as set forth in
his memoirs, is striking illustration of
the fallacy of the popular superstition
that rolling stone gathers no moss. His
career prior to his entering the Union
army as a Colonel of regulars was one of
constant change. He was a First Lieu
tenant of artillery in 1916, stationed at
Fort Moultrie, in South Carolina. His
desire to take an active part in the war
with Mexico was defeated by circum-
stances. He was sent to California In
stead Of Mexico, and was passive wit
ness of the excitements incident to the
gold fever Of 1848-49. A year later he

THE OLD FARMHOUSE.

On, DEAR the old farm-hou to me!
The homely ways, the ample cheer,
The refuge at my mothers knee
From childhood's every grief and fear.
and dear the memory of those days
Bathed in loves amber atmosphere,
When all our voices rose in praise,
When sire and child were bowed in prayer
But where are they,
The fond, the gay,
Who filled the great white house in May
Gone like the birds from last years nest!
Gone as the leaves in autumn fly!
Some to the cities of the Vest;
Some toll beneath an Indian sky;
Some other prairies SOW and reap;
One sank beneath the moaning sea;
Some in the churchyard lie asleep,
And, quivering in the old roof-tree,
One homesick waits
The swing of gates
To watt her to heavens bright estates!

SHE has the most alluring eyes,

She wears the most bewitching guise,
And parti-colored hose!
Her touch can thrill one strangely when
One clasps her in the dance;
At least they tell me so-but then,
Tnever had the chancei
Her melting tones, so people say,
Intoxicate the brain,
And leave when she has gone away
A JOY akin to pain.
Her voice is like sweet music when
It's strains are soft and low;
SO those who've heard it say-but then,
never did, you know.
She makes the most superb rdgout-
Knits stockings by the score;
Knows Latin and Italian, too,
Greek, French and plenty more!
