For the Sentinel.
A SUM MER NIGHT.
By LEE o. HARRIS.

The days's departing sureole
Has changed to films Of amber light,
That down the sky like vapor roll,
Famed westward by the wings of night,
AS over forest, field and town,
She Sits her dusky shadows down.
/ hear the myriad sounds OF night,
The rustic of thousand wings,
And hidden choirs, whose songs unite
With every tuneful wind that sings,
And fancy, DER the tinkling grass,
hear the trailing shadows PASS.
In gender hedge the firefiies glow,
Ger clinging vine and creeping brier,
That hawthorn bloomed to-day with snow.
Tonight its blossoms are of fire,
And, borne on every passing breeze,
They float like sparks among the trees.
This vagrant wind has kissed the rose,
That crowns yon shadow wrapt parterre.
The odOrs on its wings disclose.
That all unseen 1t fingered there,
To WOO the flower with music's spell
The migrate, thus to kiss and tell.
A murmuring sound is family borne.
A tinkling as of fairy feet,
From yonder ranks of waving corn,
For there tho night-wind MINISTRIES meet
To pipe their merry roundelay,
And dance the shadowy hours away.
Oh, hours of peace and pure delight!
My thoughts are with the winds at play,
join the voices of the night,
And, as sing my cares away,
Ny heart, so lately sorrow worn.
Goes dancing with the waving corn.

did authorities in England. They fill the
measure OF parliamentary renowD.
And should we revert to the earlier eres OF
English history, even before the boy bur-
CESS, Sir Thomss More. dehed ROYALTY in
the interests of free government and hon
est taxation, we might find names repeated
almost in our own r0ll-cail; for as early as
the second Richard 'Sir Peter de la Mare,
knight" Is less honored as the first of the
Somersets than as among the first OF the
speakers of the Commons. Monsieur
Peres de Ia Mare was not only q progeni-
tor, as 1 reckon, of our distinguished friend
from Mississippi, but ne was stout rebel,
who suffered imprisonment for speaking
too freely In Parliament. Bis
IMPRISONMENT DID NOT SEAL HIS LIPS.
While he Is remembered because he COM
mended all feats of chivslry In one OF his
resolutions. he advocated liberty and the
oommonslity in anotheri He was an
especial hster of corrupt rule. and became
baron of the realm as redouptsble in war
as he was fearless in debate. Indeed, the
entire company Of parliamentary WORTHLESS
in England, beginning with the morning
stars, who, like the Chsucers, were both
speakers and poets, furnishes us process
sion of heroes in the popular cause against
htnks anu peers WHICH nolIueI IOW0I uOr
block could sppsll, and whose orstoricsl fer
vors were neither of selfish greed or truck
ling subseryiency. These will be remem-
bered long after the dust of the disreputa-
bic mercensries in Hnglish, Irish and
American assemblies has been blown to
the winds of heavenl These will be her,
aided to the ages as examples worthy of
honorable imitation; while the parasites of
corrupt power. who have lived without
virtue and died without repentance, will
have neither scrip, nor picture, nor
marble-only the universal detestation
OF mankind to embslm their in
fanny. Let us not fail nor fslter
in our popular faith. Let no arguments
for convenience and no anxiety for re-
Enumeration or preferment lead rs to for
get that our place is here to bsffie mech
nations such as the mes age to-day re-
vesls. Perish the petty threats of a cum
ming foe, which would invoke the hurri-
cane OF popular indignation because we
do not promptly succumb to a superser-
viceable Senate. In this conflict we have
law and learning, wisdom and eloquence,
and, above all, the contiding appreciation
of free and incorruptible people.

THE STORY OF A RICH MANS SON,
WHO, HAVING soUANDERED BIS PATRIMo-

ESCAPES FROM SING SING, FOLLOWED BY
SPEEDY CAPTURE.
The New York Sun says Frank McKen-

ago. He had received a collegiate educa-
ton, and was a student for the ministry.
His father was rich, and his home refined

and the rest. By his fathers death he was
made master OF three dwellings in Seven
teepth street, near Eighth avenue, and
thereafter he squsndered bis pairimoDy.
Then he became a burg ar, koown to the
police as Frank Woods. He was repre-
sented to be bland and willy while plan
ming, but unfiinching and reckless
of human life in the execution OF
a burglary. He was one of The con-
vicIs VINO in 1874 stole a locomotive aud
escaped from Sing Sing prison. Shortly
after he was arrested in st. Louis as sus-
picious person and returned TO Sing Sing.
One of McKenDa's cOntederstes in the
stealing the locomotive was "Shang"
Hswley. Detective Ferris traced Hawley
TO a west side tenament, and learned that
HE LURKED THERE.
The fugitive had attached to the main door
q cord, passing upward into his lurking
place. When the door opened the cord was
relaxed, letting a weight fall upon a meta
plate, giving him a warning that could not
be heard by the other inmates OF the
house, and whenever IL warned him he
went to q rear window overlooking
crooked alley. After days of tedious
watching, Detective Ferris followed the
milkman, whose entrance, being at
his usual hour, did not alarm Hawley, to
Hawley's rooms. Mrs. Hswley opened a
door to receive the milk, aDo, pushing her
aside, Detective Ferris sprang upon Haw-
ley, who was stretched on a lour &c, and,
putting a pis ol to 6awlty's head, hand

EASTERN IDAHo.-The following
items from Lemhi county are takel
from the Montana Madssonian:
The past season has not been quite
as good as last year in the placer
mining camps of Idaho.
The Changers of the Lemhi valley
have raised unusually large crops this
summer. The yield VIII be in excess
of the demand of the country.
While the placer diggings are on
the decline in the Leesbnrg Basin, a.
Prairie gu!ch, and Loon creek, quartz
is claiming more attention.
A New York company have pur-
chased the well-known Steele lode and
are engaged in sinking and develop
ing it.
Wallace's mill, on Moose creek in
the basin, is constantly crushing rich
rock, from the Quartz Quarry" He
has fine quartz in sight, and enough
to last for years.
The real bonanza of Eastern Idaho
is the Jordan mine, twenty miles from
Loon creek. 1t is gold and silver
bearing vein and is rich.
VIM A. Norton, owner of the "Jor-
dan" mine, sacks and packs his quartz
to Salmon City, distance of 100
miles, on animals, and thence by
wagon to the railroad, and he makes
money out of his quartz.
Sammy Holman and Fisherman
McGarvey have, within a month,
struck an extremely rich vein Of
quartz only short distance from
Salmon City. Tie dirt and quartz on
top is rich.
Other lodes and elbow outs" are
worked in dilerent sections. The ore
and quartz, for the most part, is hauled I
to Utah where it finds market or is II
reduced Quartz has to be rich to af- t
ford a margin Of profits when tie mi ,
ner has to pack it out Of the noun
tains per jackass trains.

The maximum grade from here to

1t the masses of the people of our com

"Mormonism" and the

light of compliment. But as they,

Early times, are everywhere spoken 1

IS designed, to injure Mr. Fem in the
Estimation of many of his political

The Statesman says: "The Nor

There are two misstatements in this
entence; one is a mistake, the other
wilful falsehood. 1t is not true that
ne "Mormons" have unanimously de-

How Lands are Irrigated.

A Colorado letter to the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican says: Irrigating
canals are almost always owned by COM
panies, and they sell the water to the
farmers at about 81. so an inch, which is
sufficient for an acre. This inch runs
night and day through the whole sea-
son. Thus the water for 160 acres of
land costs for one year $240, and it is
paid without grumbling. We have es-
tablished an entirely different system.
At the opening of the season the num-
Der intending to use water is ascertained,
and the amount constituting the total
supply being known, certain number
Of inches is given to eighty acres, which
is q unit for computation, and the charge
for the same is the cost of superintend.
ence and probable repairs. The price
affixed hitherto Las been about twenty
five cents an acre. If the total supply
should run short, or if farmer should
want more than his share, it is custom
airy to borrow water for day or so from
his neighbor, or from several neighbors,
and, putting the whole together, the
work of irrigation is done with great ex-
peditiop. So other neighbors take their
turn. Wheat requires to be irrigated
two or three times, corn perhaps four
times. The amount of water needed is
far more than one would suppose. To
grow an acre of wheat the ground must,
altogether, receive water enough to cov-
er every part twelve inches deep. Water
is most abundant when it is most need
ed, for then the SHOWS in the high noun
tains are rapidly melting. Much fertility
is brought down from the crumbling
rocks, from tho dense forests and from
the dark glens. When one visits Snowy
range during hot summer day he sees
water trickIe from all the snowbanks
and glaciers and glide through the mo-
rasses, and he hears tumble in cascades
and thunder far down the canyons. A
farmer soon forgets that irrigation is a
bother-rlther he comes to like it-for
he is his own weather prophet; one that
never fails.
