The N, Y. Tribune has made the dis
covery that the Republican vote in Louisi-
ana was larger by 3.l73 than at any pre-
vious election; in Florida by 5.240; and in
South Carolina by 6,799 What does the
Tribune argue from this? That there was
full, fair Republican vote 10 all three of
the states? Not by any means. 1t argues
that Mr. Tildens popular majority was
entirely due to the peculiar tactics by
which the Republican vote was reduced in
the three states. The same tactics pro-
duced the same results in all the northern
states-but the Tribune shuts its eyes to
that fact,

r. I. Carr was the Republican candidate
for sheriff in DeSoto parish, last month,
but was defeated, with the rest of the Re.
publican ticket, the Democrats carrying
the parish on the heaviest vote ever poled,
1904 to 898. Nevertheless, the returning
board counted Carr in, but he refuses to
accept such an election. He says he was
nominated in New Orleans, and, notwith-
standing he telegraphed his declination Of
his nomination and subsequently declined
it 10 card, he was put on the ticket and
voted for, but he believes that the Demo
cratic candidate was fairly elected, and
declines to accept the commission from
Kellogg. Regarding the alleged intimida-
tion, he says that the charge is unquali-

Golden Trout In the Sierra Nevada.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Post thus describes q new species of trout
of gold color which have been discovered
in the Sierra Nevada mountains:
While on . recent exploring and photo
graphic trip among the sublime scenery of
the high Sierra, in some laughing stream
lets OF the Whitney Meadows, at the head
quarters Of the Kern river, and at an alti-
tude of 900 feet above the Sea- we discov-
cred these beautiful fish. Their bright
sides were flashing and fitting through the
water like jets of fire; then, collected in
shoals beneath q projecting rock or bank,
would light up those dark recesses with
their .glittering sheen. DR.. A. Kellogg,
made drawing and the following notes
The golden and orange banded trout of
Kern and Kings river. Description:
Trout, four to eight inches long; proportion
thick and motion quiet. Ground color
golden, lighter or darker as they ;nhabit
deeper. shadier, or shsllower and SUMMER
streamlets. Back dark, with large black
spots; broad longitudinal band Of orange
RED along the internal line of mucous glands,
from head to tail, mostly vanishing near
the posterior third or final fin, transverselv
clouded by ten large blotches Belly.
bright orange from under the throat and
opercular lin or respiratory gills, to the
vent back or dorsal fin, and tail beautifully
black spotted; also, black bar running
fore and aft through the eye. Ali Of tho
fins (excepting the operculsr) golden mar.
gined with white. Flesh, ligut salmon.
Found in shallow streams Of the higher
meadows and ravines of Kern river, 5000 to
Il, 800 feet above the sea level. where they
disappear.
ITO this may add that as each member
OF our party of nine sat around the Damn
fire, feasting on the snmptuous mountain
repast thus provided. the sentiment was
unanimously expressed that they were as
delicious in flavor as they were beautiful in
form and color. We were anxious to bring
some Of them to civilization, but in less than
half q mile of carriage, seven Of Chem
were dead, proving the experiment inpossi-
PIE with the conveniences in our possession.
Lot ue, however, hope that the eggs Of these
elegant and delicate trout may Be secured
for our brooks and aquariums. Dr.. Kellogg
preserved a few in brine, which, when
arled, were sent to the Academy of Sciences
IN San Francisco; but, alas! on their ar
rival all their bright colors had become
like the baseless fabric of vision.'"

Fourth Remembrance.

Fourth Remembrance.
Every life has its years, during which
enc goes on as if upon dusty poplar ave
nue., without knowing where one is, and
of which nothing remains in the memory
except the mournful feeling that one has
gone further and grown older. So long as
the river Of life flows on quietly, it is the
same river, and it is the landscape only on
both sides that seems to change. But then
come the waterfalls Of life. They remain
in the memory, and even when we are far
past them, and move nearer and nearer to-
ward the still sea of eternity, it seems as
if we yet heard from afar their rushing
and roaring, and we feel that the strength
Of life remaining with US and driving US
forward still continues to draw its spring
and nourishment from those waterfalls.
The school days were over, and the
first years of university life were past,
and many beautiful life-dreams were also
past, but one had remained-belief in
God and man. Life was quite different
from what it had seemed to the thoughts
Of childhood; everything had received a
higher conservation, and it was precisely
the incomprehensible and painful which
had become proof of the au-presence
Of the divine in human life. Nothing
opposes you, unless God wills it. That
was the summary of lifes wisdom that
had collected.
During the summer holidays, I returned
to my little birthplace. What joy is
this meeting again. That no one has ex-
planned; but this meeting, this meeting
again-remembering that is the secret of
almost all delights and Of all enjoyment.
What one for the first time sees, or hears,
or tastes, that may be beautiful, and
great, and pleasant, but it is too new, it
surprises us; you have as yet no rest in it,
and the exertion of the enjoyment is
greater than the enjoyment itself. But
after many years to hear again an old
piece of music, every note Of which we
think forgotten, and still when it comes to
greet it as an old acquaintance, or.
after years to stand before the Madonna
of San Sisto, in Dresden, and feel again
all the emotions which the infinite look of
the child had year after year awakened in
Us, or even to smell flower again, or
taste dish of which we had not thought
since our school days-these give us such
inward delight that we know not whether

With what thoughts and feelings went
home it were hard to tell. The soul, in
deed, will not permit itself to be wholly
translated into words, and there are
Thoughts Without Words which every
man plays for himself in moments of the
greatest joy and the greatest sorrow. I
felt only unspeakable surprise. The
thoughts within me flew like shooting
stars that long to descend from Heaven to
EARTH but all expire before they reach
their goal. As we sometimes in dreams
say 10 ourselves, s'You DREAM" so said
to myself, "You ive-it is She" And
then tried to control myself, and to be
quiet, and said to myself, "She is lovely
vision, an uncommon nature" I also be.
