A Littlc Maiden's Device.


A petit little miss called at the
Third District Station, Thursday, very
full of business, and asked to see the
captain. Captain Huebler came for
ward, fixed his savage and unsympa-
thetic eye on her, and asked what
was wanted. The little miss blushed
and trcmbled. and said that she
wanted to have Mr.. arrested.
"But what for?" asked the cap.
tain.
"Cos Pm afraid of him. Pm afraid
he'll hurt me-"
The captain took in her diminutivc
proportions deliberately, and then
asked:
"What should he want to hurt you
for?"
"Why, just COZ" and she began
to fidget and look for her handker-
chief.
"Well," said the captain, "you will
have to tell me all about it if you
want me to do anything for you"
She got her handkerchief ready,
stood on one little foot, caught hold
of the railing, and began, swell, you
see, Mr.. used to come and see
me, and I-I-Ifell IN love with him,
and then he went away. Then I
loved him so much | wrote to him,
and told him he had to come back
again. He wrote to me and said he
thought he'd better not come back,
because he couldn't marry me, for
some reason or other, and he didn't
want to get very much in love with
me, which he knew he would if he
came back, he thought he oughtn't
to come. Then | wrote to him again,
and he agreed to come saying that
l knew what the result would be-
He came, and after he had been COM
ing to see me for a while, he told me
that something very near q sob)-
that he was married already. Then
| told him he shouldn't call at our
house any more, but he wouldn't
mind me. lie said he would have
me, dead or alive, and that he was
getting 4 divorce from his wife SO
that we could get married. / don't
want him to come any more, Mr..
Captain, and | want to have him ar
rested"
The captain looked very suspicious
ly like smiling. "What shall | ar
rest for?" he asked. "IIe hasn't
violated any city ordnance
This was poser. She stared at
the captain awhile, and then asked:
"Couldn't l have him arrested for
threatening to kill me? You know
he said he'd have me, dead or alive"
The captain was evidently struck
with the ingenuity of the proposition,
but he told the sufferer that she had
better 90 to a magistrates office, and
swear out a peace warrant against
Mr..
She turned around slowly, and
giving one beseeching look behind,
went out the door.

THE HERITAGE.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

The rich mans son inherits lands,
And piles of brick, and stone. and gold;
And he inherits soft, white hands,
And tender flesh that fears The cold.
Nor dares to wear garment old;
A heritage, 1t seems to me,
. One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich mans son inherits cares;
The bank may break, the factory burn,
A breath may burst his bubble shares
And soft. white hands could scarcely earn
living that would serve his turn;
A heritage, it seems to me,
One would not wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit?
Stout muscles and a snewy heart,
A hearty frame, a harder spirit;
King OF two hands, he does his part
In every useful toll and art;
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit?
Wishes o'erjoyed with humble things,
a rank adjudged by toil-wOrn merit,
Content that from employment springs,
heart that in his labor sings;
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit.
"A patience learned by being poor;
Courage, if sorrow come, to bear it;
A fellow feeling that is sure
To make the outcast bless his door.
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king would wish to hold In fee.
o. rich mans son, there is a toll
That with all other level stands;
Large charity doth never soil,
But only softens soft, white hands
This is the best crop from thy lands:
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being rich to hold in fee.
O, poor mans son! scorn not thy state;
There is worse wearness than thine,
In merely being rich and great;
Toll only gives the soul to shine,
And makes rest fragrant and benign.
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being poor to hold in fee.
Both heirs to some six feet of sod,
Are equal in the earth at last;
Both, children of the same dear God
Prove title to your heirship vast
BY record of a well filed past.
A heritage it seems to me,
Well worth life to hold in fec.

Strong Endorsement.

The Chicago Tribune, the ablest
advocate Of Mr. Bristow's nomination
in the West, cordially endorses and
approves of the nominations at Gin
cinnati. 1t says:
'AIr. Hayes is, in all that pertains
to the great principles and policies of
Reform, Retrenchment, and integrity
of administration, as acceptable as
Mr.. Bristow. Less known to the
whole people, perhaps, he Is widely
known rs a man with clear head,
sound Judgment, patriotic record, and
above all, clean hands; 4 stranger to
the lobby, and with no entangling
business alliances with subsidy-seek-
ers or gamblers in national credit.
''For the nomination of a man so
pure, publicly and privately, and at
the same time so identified with the
great reformatory policies which the
prevailing corruption has made so
essential, the Convention will deserve
and receive the grateful thanks of the
country,-thanks for what the Con
vention did do, and thanks, oft-re-
peated thanks, for what it so bravely
refused to do.

INDEPENDENCE, IOWA, FRIDAY, JUNE 30

had robbed myself of more than life
and would not live to endure sucl
bitter remorse as mine. l placed my
pistol to my head; but ere l could
fire, my arm was grasped by hand
of steel, and the weapon dashed up
on the ground.
My firing had awaken those liv
ing close by, and they came just III
time to save me the crime of trip
pie murder.
made no resistance, and / was
conveyed to prison, there to await
my trial, which came off in two
months. / was condemned to death.
My execution will take place in four
weeks from tomorrow. Ishall cheer
fully meet my fate, for who would
endure life when rendered so peculi-
arly miserable?
The wretched Melville here ended
his tale of woe. No tears moistened
his eyes, his grief was too despairing
for tears; it preyed upon his heart,
drank the vital streams Of his life;
and burst in convulsive sighs from
his burning bosom.
The day appointed for his execu-
ton drew near; his past and ap-
preaching fate filled my breast with
sympathetic sorrow.
He saw his venerable father, his
mother, his friends and acquaintan-
ccs, with several pious clergymcn,
who entered his cell to comfort HIM.
His mind softcncd by their advice
and council. Often in the solitary
hours of the night was he heard ad-
dressing the Throne of grace for
mercy and forgiveness.
But the grief that preycd at his
heart had wasted him to a mere skal-
eton. A slow but fatal fever had
consequently implanted itself in his
constitution. His exhausted nature
could make but a weak struggle
against disease and aflliction like
this; and about week previous to
the day appointed for his execution
he expired in his mothers arms, with
the name Of his loved and pure one
upon his ips-leaving conclusive,
incontrovertiblc evidence of the evil
of jealousy.

Lucius Quinton Curtius Washington

Sioi5HtoH- III DahDury NeW5
Lolling against the door lamb there
is Ben Hill, Of Andersonville, and
Lucius Quinton Curtius Washington.
You don't know what they are talk
ing about, nor care. Quinton is a
tall, ungainly creature of brown
whiskers, stingy preservation and
peering eyes. He wears spectacles
and the aspect of an unsatisfed and
sour stomach. He is sallow and
shallow and creeps upon an item as
an alligator enters a bayou. He is
seedy and needy and greedy; takes
all he can get; gets little and gives
nothing. All his opportunities are
accidents. don't think he ever met
an accident. Accidents go for high
er and more tasty game. Opportun-
tiles are for improvement. He is
always tinkering and smelling of his
work. The most original thing he
ever did was to insult a respectable
Congressman. You see he thinks all
Congressman are alike. He has been
deadweight on the Louisville Cour-
ier-JoarnaI ever since 1861. He
went on the paper when he was AS
sistant Secretary of State, or some
thing of that kind, of the Confederacy,
and he thinks he's writing Confcder-
ate annals yet. He don't know that
the war was ended over ten years ago.
He never would have known of the
war at all if John A. Dix, in 'G1,
hadn't removed him from a clerkship
in the Treasury Department. To-day
he believes the North Pole is made
OF Georgia pine. He never forgets
anything, and never learns anything.
He don't know the difference between
news and the "infuence of solitude
on the mind" When he insulted
Mr.. Townsend of New York, and
ordered him out of the committee
room when Lamar made him clerk, he
did not forget that Townsend was a
member of the committee, because
he never learned it. He supposed
Lamar was chairman, and he was the
rest. He wasn't original enough to
lie out Of it himself, but got the Sun
day Herald to do it for hlm. When
Lamar removed him, it was the first
piece of news he legitlmately got
during the session. That's enough
for T.. O. c. w.

The Hon. Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop.-who il i ex-
pected will return home by The steamer due on
the 10th inst.--have been visiting the former home
of Mr.. Z. at Sandy Hill, New York. Says the
local newspaper of that place "a Charles Il.
Bishop, banker of Honolulu, on the island Of Oahu,
capital of the Sandwich Islands. formerly Of Sandy
Hill, and wife-a native prine7ss-are on a visit
TO friends and relatives in this country, and were
the guests of Mr.. Geo-Bradley OF this place last
week. Mr.. Bishop, in company with the late
VIM. l.. Lee, Lawyer of Sandy Hill, shipped on a
sailing vessel at Newburyport in the year 1916,
bound for Oregsn. and after being cut 235 days,
drifting about by contrary Wiads, landed on the
island OF Oahu, one of the Sandwich Islands group
in the Pacific Ocean. The vessel proving un=ea-
worthy, was laid up for repairs. These two young
adgentuFers found themselves among strangers on
a small island many thousand miles from home
and friends; and Oregon, the land Of their fondest
hopes not reached. But This Island had been
visited and christianixed by American mission
aries many years before, and these young men
soon found favor with the King and eourt. and
their future history is too wei! known 10 many of
the readers of The Herald TO need any lengthy
repori at-this time. Mr.. Bishop was formerly
clerk in the 70 Old Stone Store next door to the
Herald Office, previous TO his gong 10 the Sand
wich Islands. He is now a man Of note in his
adopted country, and it is not improbable that he
may yet be the ruler of The Hawaiian Islands. az
his wife Is daughter Of a former King OF the place.
His example is me our aspiring young men
ahould follow"
