THE SAILORS DREAM.

Our royals set, the fav'fing breeze
Breath'd gentle in our swelling sails;
Our galanJ ship fleWoer the seas,
Propelled by Summers halcyon gales.
'Twas in the mid watch, as slept,
My hammock swinging to and fro,
A gentle slumber DER me crept,
And blissful dreams dispelPd each woe.
Methought my rowing steps were far
From oceans surges, leagues away,
Waie DER my path radiant star
Shone with a pure and heavenly ray.

OJsego's placid lake beside;
Again, beneath the forest green,

The well remembered friends of yore,
And even some till now forgot,
In are ms saw them all once more
Each shady glen-each picturd grot.
My nome, with all its idols too,
Rose up before my vision then;
Each lace, reflected bright and true
Each sunny hour-all came again.
My father, on whose knee learp'd
The pray'rs and hymns he loved so Welli
My mo her, whose fond bosom yearn'd
With love for me no tongue can tell
Ny sisters, playmates of my youth,
My eldest, youngest-all were there,
With days of innocence and truth,
Before my heart had dream'd of care.
How short the moments Of our bliss
While yet the cherish'd sounds hear,
And raise my lips for Mothers kiss.
''All Hands, Ahoyw bursts on my ear.
With aching heart reach the deck;
The storm hOwls wildly DER the bark;
Our ship seems like feeble speck
Amid the pillows, drear and dark.
The hardy crew, to reef the sails.
Mount high upon the giddy mast;
The topsails folded in the brails,
Arc soon prepared to meet the blast.
These are the joys seaman Knows
Such summons oft his slu,ubers break;
And this among his chefest woes:
OF bliss to dream-to hardship

Queer Freaks of Texas Belle.
[From the Waco Examiner. |

About two weeks ago an individual
appeared in the Childer's Creek neigh
borhood, in this county, who gave the
name OF Tom Johnson, and claimed To be
the son OF prominent citizen OF Conan
che County, but afterwards proved TO be
a woman in male attire. She was in the
neighborhood several days before her
sex was discovered, during which time
she acted the part Of fast young man to
perfection. She associated freely with
Young men, called on several young
ladies', and carried the part of beau
admirably. She proved herself an ex-
pert horsemau, and an adept in the use
of the revolver and Spencer rife. She
attended camp-meetlng, which was
being conducted by Rev. Mr.. Melugen,
OF this city, and Rev. Mr.. Harris, OF
Childeps Creek, and on two occasions
went forward to the anxious seat and
asked for the prayers of the congrega-
tion, all the while representing herself
TO be ''Iom johnson, from the old mans
stock ranch on the trontier." Her
sprightlIness and pleasant manner at
Lracted the attention OF everybody. and
she was fast becoming popular with peo-
pie of all ages and sexes, particularly
with the young ladies of the neighbor-
mood, when by an unfortunate accident
her sex became known. Clarence Will
| ANS was notified and arrested the
young woman and carried her before Es-
quire W. u. Boyd, Justice OF the Peace
Of Precinct No. 4. He knew no law by
which he could hold her, and she was
permitted to go free. After leaving the

parties that her real name was Ruth.

TO.day's Elections.

To-day the States Of Ohio, Indiana and
West Virginia are holding their cleo
tions for State officers. lnasmuch as
the result Of these elections are pre-
sumed to forecast their votes on the
Presidential election next month, they
are regarded with the utmost interest
by the entire nation. In each Of these
three States the party majorities have
heretofore been so very close that doubt
lends additional interest to expectancy.
In West Virginia the Republicans are
not without some reasonable hopes; but
the probabilities are decidedly in favor
of the Democrats.
In Ohio the reverse OF this obtains.
The Democrats are not without some
reasonable hopes of carrying the State;
but the probabilities are strongly in ia
vor of the Republicans. AS there is no
Governor 70 be elected this year in Ohio
the State ticket is nominally headed by
the Secretary of State; that being the
highest office of the Executive branch
of the State Government to be filed at
the present election. Moreover there is
no legislative election hero this year.
There is consequently but little interest
felt In the State ticket, only in so far as
the vote on this ticket must be taken as
the test OF the popular vote of the State
as between the two parties. On this ac
count there will doubtless be a large
popular vote cast on the State ticket.
But the Republicans claim that
the November vote for Hayes will be
much larger than the vote now to be
given for the present State ticket; and
that therefore, even if their Secretary of
State should fail of election by
a small majority against him,
the State would nevertheless go
for Hayes at the Presidential
election. The Democrats, on the other
hand, claim that if their candidate for
that office is elected though by but a
small majority, it would have the effect
to secure the vote of OHIO for Tilden in
November. In no case does either party
expect large majority for its State
ticket at to-day's election.
In Indiana there is full State ticket,
including Governor and Lieutenant Gov
srnor, up for election. There Will, there
fore, be very full vote cast in that
State. On this account, and as Indiana
has been heretofore vibrating between
the two parties, the contest is peculiarly
earnest and exciting. Moreover, it is
conceded that the vote of that State is
necessity to the success OF the Demo-
cratic Presidential ticket. This ha,
given to the campaign in that State an
Intensity Of movement never before
known to its political history. Its ex.
citing scenes and mass conventions have
even exceeded the memorable campaign
OF 1910. The orators who have there
addressed the people on both
sides have been amongst the
ablest men OF the nation. The
discussions have been most thorough
and searching. There is disturbing
element there in the greenback organi-
cation thai may be found most material
where the strength OF parties is so nearly
equal. The most that can be said of In

Preserving Plants from Frost.

Perhaps no plan Of preserving plants
from frost, independent of greenhouse,
is preferable to a well regulated pit or
Lrame in the open air. This may be tried
in various ways, and will always be
found to succeed, il properly attended
to. A plan which has been followed
with good results is, to have large two
light frame, standing some two feet
from the ground, sheltered by a south
wall. on an exhausted hot-bed. The
mould Of this bed is kept from rain in
the early autumn, and at about the close
of October the pots are sunk into it to
the rims. A double light is then put on,
by which wet aud frost are more effect
ually excluded, and in the following
December the soil around the pots is
quite dry. Around the frame long stable
manure is piled up about eighteen inches
in width, and level with the top; and
over the whole an old carpet may he
thrown, when necessary. Every day,
when it is not frosty, air is freely ad-
mitted, and dead or mIldewed leaves
are carefully removed. When Irost
sets in, two or three extra mats are laid
on, and the whole Kept on Till thaw
takes place. On no account are the
coverings removed until at least a day
alter the frost is gone-this being very
important point.

Charles b. Lere's DseisSoss IN shs Matter.
Yesterday Charles B. Lors, Esq., gave
his decision in the Fourth street macadam-
izing trouble, which has been agitating the
citizens of Fourth street, for some time.
Mr.. Lore has fully examined into the sup
posed right Of Council to compel the, prop
erty holders On said street to pay for the
late improvements done by the City Coun-
Gil, and found that there does not exist any
power whatever in our city Legislative body
to exercise any authority In the matter.
The opinion contains i've OF SIX points In
favor Of the property holders. and shows
conclusively that Council can have no juris-
diction in regard to It, and that the power
which it was thought they had, 10 null and
void. It is probable that before the trouble Is
settled, that 1t will be taken to the courts.
In that case action will have to be brought
against each property holder separately, and
in all probability Mr.. Lore will be retained
as counsel. The trial OF one case is all that
will be necessary, as the others will Of
course be governed by the "dicision given in
it. There will be meeting Of the property
holders tonight at which the opinion will
be read. ,,i

TRADE INTERFERED WITH.


Dennis Ces,melly's Child Gets Him Into
Tro,sbIe-A Green Grocer's Goods Ands
Unsaleabls. 80.
Last evening quite an interesting case
was tried before Esquire Frazer. Dennis
Connolly was required to appear and answer
to the charges Of threatening to cut mans
heart out, disorderly conduct, and abusive
language. The circumstances attending
the affair seem to be as follows: Mr.. James
Lafferty, the plaintiff in the case, keeps q
small provision store in the western part Of
the city, in which he keeps for sale all kinds
of fruits and vegetables. A little child OF
Connelly's has made practice for some
time of coming to the store and handling
the produces, fumbling over the fruits, &C.,
thereby rendering them unsaleable.
Yesterday Mr.. Laferty took the little
child home to its parents, whereppon the
father began to curse him for daring to lay
hands on s'his" child, and using such unbe-
coming language, that the case was at once
taken for settlement to the Justice courts.
The testimony was such that there could
he no doubt of the guilt of Connolly, and he
was accordingly held in the sum Of $500 to
keep the peace, required to answer the
charge at the next term of county court and
fined costs for disorderly conduct and abu-
siye language. In default of bail, he was
committed to the custody of the constable.

The Centennials, of San Francisco, in
their 60 games, have lost but IL. A good
record.
Collins, centre fielder for the st Louis
Reds, has Joined his fortunes, under protest
of manager McNeary, with the Louisville
club.
Eggler, it is understood, will remain with
the Athletic next season, at. a reduced
salary, owing to his frequent absence this
year.
A grave charge of crookedness has been
made against some of the Athletic players
the past week. We can hardly believe such
thing.
Among the attractions outside of the base
ball grounds on Monday were several crowds
of persons, numbering in all one thousand
two base ball matches and fist fight.
The Athletic management had better Sc
cure the team from Lynn, Mass, which
whitewashed them on Friday, and substl.
tute It for the one which now bears the
name of Athletic.
The Louisville players offer as an excuse
for their waiting game with the Chicago on
Thursday last, that there is no League rule
which afflxes penalty for those who try to
play purposely bad fielding game.
Just think of it, the Athletic on Friday
went down to Lynn, and engaged with the
Live Oaks Of that place, and the result was
Live Oaks, s; Athletic, GA skunk of a pro-
fcssional by an amateur organization.
The game this afternoon between the
Quicksteps and the Defiance, of Philadel-
phia, will begin at O'Clock, on the Adams
street grounds. All should 60 who can, as
the game will no doubt be one of interest.
On Mondays poodle dog while running
across the field was struck by foul ball
which took him in the region Of the equator.
and he. skipped away looking as though he
didn't hre who was going to run the Re
public for the next four years.
Those interested in the prospects of the
Quickstep club should not forget that they
give an excursion to Pennsgrove on Thurs
day next, and II possible, will arrange for
game to be played on that day with the
Western, At that place. All. should 90 who
can.
Dickerson will play again to-day at his
old position. Everybody should attend the
game to-day. Remember the boys are
working on their own hook, and need all
the substantial encouragement that could
be given them. .tos,.E 0a59E
The tickets to the Pennsgrove excursion
are now being offered for sale, and at price
within the reach of all. The management
will try and make the affair highly enjoy
