The Farmers Wife.


The farmer came in from the field one day
His languid step and his weary way.
His bended brow, his sinewy hand,
All showed his work for the good of the land !;
For he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
All for the good Of the land.
BY the kitchen fire stood his patient wife,
/ Light Of his home and Joy of his life,
With face all aglow and busy hand,
Preparing the meal for her husbands band,
For she must boil,
And she must broil,
And she must toll,
All for the good of the home.
The bright sun shines when the farmer goes
out
The birds sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about ;
The brook babbes softly in the glen
While he works so bravely for the good Of men;
For he sows,
And he mows,
And he hoes,
All for the good of the land
How briskly the wife steps about within,
The dishes to wash, the milk to skim;
The fire goes out. the flies buzz about
For the dear ones at home her heart is kept
stout;
There are pies to make,
There is bread to bake,
And steps to take
All for the sake Of home.
When the day is DER, and the evening is come
The creatures are fed, the milking done,
He takes his rest meath the old shade tree.
Though he sows,
And he hoes,
And he mows,
He rests from the work of the land.
<But the faithful wife, from sun to sun,
Makes her burden up that's never done
There is no rest, there is Lo play,
For the good of the house she must work away;
For to mend the frock,
And to knit the sock,
And the cradle to rock,
All for the good of the home.
When autumn is here, with its chilling blast,
The farmer gathers his crop at last; -
His barns are full, his fields are bare
For the good of the land he neer hath care,
While it blows,
And it SHOWS,
Till winter goes,
He rests from the work of the land.
\ But the willing wife, till lifes closing day,
\ Is the children's guide, the husbands stay
4 From day to day she has done her best
Until death alone can give her rest;
For after the test
Comes the rest
With the blest
In the farmers heavenly home.

COmanche War Fashions,

Says the Fort Worth Democrat: We
inspected the warning outfit of Co.
manche Indian, killed three hundred
miles west of Jacksboro on the Staked
plains by company of United States
colored troops-the feathered arrows,
bow with the panther skin encasement,
together with the deer-skin belt, trimmed
with German silver buttons, from which
hung two scalping- g-knives in tasty bead
encasements; each knife was marked on
the handle with the number of scalps it
had severed; one had twelve marks and
the other eight.

One great drawback to turkey raising
is the difficulty in getting the hen to lay
her eggs in a safe place. But if by
placing boxes or barrels containing
straw or hay under an evergreen tree, in
clump of bushes or bya stone wall
near the buildings, we can tempt her to
occupy our impoverished nest, we have
attained the desired object. AS fast as
the eggs are laid they should be taken
Substituting china ones in their place.
from their exposed position and carefully
stored in moderately cool place. If
the hen does not OCCUPY one of the nests
we have provided, but steals one, that
also must be found, if possible, and the
eggs secured till she shows signs of
sitting, when she should be removed to
a room in a shed or tarn and placed on a
nest prepared for her reception. After
she is fully established in the incubation
business, give her the eggs, furnish her

educated her to views of lifo which had
madc her capture and sale q thousand times
a greater hardship. During tho few months
that she had been an inmate of Haiah's
harem, she had lived life of dull rcsigna-
tion, and had only looked forward to death
as bright release from her present misery.
At longth sho said:
eff did not think I would increase
your pcrils, would fly with you"
E "Do not consider me for moment.
Onco beyond tho gloom of these horrid
ruins and VIC both arc safe. l have over
thirty we'll armed retainers, and We arc q
match for thousand Bedouins."
"Ayo, but in few brief hours your foes
will be counted by thousands. In resouiug
me from Hajah, you have Invaded tho most
sacred right of the Moslem, aud tho hand
aud spear of every wandercr of the plain
will be turned against you, and thoro is no
law for tho people of Hajah; they mako
their own laws"
"Wo lose time; como, fear them not"
81 will go with thcc," said tho girl, as II
bright expression oamc upon her lovely
faco.
Frank felt that he might remotely bo
doing this girl wrong, and his honest
nature prompted him to say:
I'll owe you my life, aud that gives me
the right to be brother to you; but must
tell thee my heart is already pledged to q
maiden OF my own race"
The bright expression faded not from
ZlIah's charming faoo, as sho swcctly said:
"Tis enough that thou pormittest me to
become thy sister,"

1t appeared as though QUO of tho oontin-
gencies Frank had suggested was about tc
be verified. The chances woro that he
would die within few seconds or possible
rescue. Ilajah and his men wero bearing
down close upon them. Tho shcik could
despatch the young American aud escape
The latter had reloaded his oarbino and
| revolver Before ho should be cut down BY
the Arabs ho was determined that number
of them should first bite the dust IIajah
was riding at the head of his spearmou
Frank conceived tho idea Of dropping the
sheik, hoping that during tho confusion
following tho chiefs fall, chance might
occur for his friends to arrive. Tho shick
was met by ono of the fellows who had
been in pursuit of tho fugitvcs. A short
colloquy followed, when tho Bcdouin leader
addressed few words to his command, and
the whole cayalcade started at gallop
toward the point where tho American and
Hillah lay concealed. Frank levclcd his
carbiuc. All depended upon the surcness
of his aim. That ono bullet carried iu its
mission death to ono human being to savo
| the lives of two othors. The report broke
tho stiffness, the smoke cleared away, aud
ilajah was still riding bravcly at the head
of his fierce followers Frank felt chill
at his heart, aud pallor overspread his faoe,
as with his weapon still lcvclcd he fired
again. lIajah tumbcd from his horse, and
the whole band was thrown into confusion.
"Come" cried Frank.
The fugitive ran across the open space,
and gained the haunted we'll Tie two
horses, restivc ond snorting with impa-
tiepoc, were still pckctcd where Frank had
fastcued them. Tho American assisted
Zilah to mount one of the horses, when he
lcapcl upon tho same animal and on instant
later was galloping towards his friends
The Bcdouins saw him, and number
started in hot pursuit, but they were too
late The fugitivos' friends had approached
nigh enough to take in the situation Half
q dozen carbncs bclchcd forth. The Be-
douins were checked in their pursuit, aud
Frank gallopcd urrursued toward his friends
a moment later and he was among them
Walton Spraguo rode forward to meet him,
when Tom ,nlakci cxclaimcd
"Wc must away to the hills on the open
plain; the Bcdouins will soon swarm around
us!"
Even while lie spoke band of horscmcn,
numbering many hundreds, appeared in
sight. Tho 'rurco European pointed to the
newcomers with tho exclamation:
"ln the hills VIC will have our only
chancc!"
The band Of Americans turned their
horses and urged them at the top of their
speed The wisdom of the journey to the
hills was speedily proved, as the whole
plain soou became as it were alive with
srcarmen.
"By George" exclaimed Tom, the river
pirate, owe have become engaged in big
war on or own account"
The leaders of tho party did not feel like
joking, their adventure was assum inn
formidable proportions.

Key has no intention of resigning
when congress meets.
The friends of Wenstead, collector
of the Fifth North Carolina district,
are pressing the president to retain
him. The only charge is nepotism.
Upon the report by special agent
of the postotllCe department that the
bond OF the postmaster Mt Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, was fictitious, new
postmaster was appointed, and the ar
rest of the postmaster and the United
States commissioner, who certified to
the bond, ordered.
Boreau reports will not be prepared
for submission at the extra session,
and will go in with the message Mt the
regular session in December. This ar
rangement enables the president TO
make his western trip, which will oc'
cupy most of the month.
The following is Judge RaynOr's
statement of personal collision to-
day: Upon Mr.. Grow being arrested
ON charge OF forgery, his counsel APP
piled to the secretary of the treasury TO
direct United States District Attorney
Wells to arrest further proceedings In
the case. The secretary referred the
question to Solicitor Raynor asking
for his legal opinion as to what juris.
diction the treasury department had
in the matter. Solicitor Raynor gave
u detailed opinion, taking the ground
that the treasury department has no
jurisdiction whatever. Whilst the mat
ter was pending Sateldo called to
see the solicitor In his Office, after first
trying to persuade the solicitor to give
an opinion in favor of the release of
Grow.
Failing ia this he then threatened
the solicitor If he refused. To this the
solicitor replied; publish my opinion
in the case, aud y1u may come down
as soon as you please" For six con-
aecutive days after this, the said Satel.
do kept up direct attack, aesailng Mr.
RaynOr through the columns OF the
Republican In most offensive and AN
noying terms.
Monday evening az the solicitor was
leaving his department for home he
met Sateldo on the steps Of the trea-
sury department. Mr.. Raynor said I:
"Get out Of my way you scoundre"
and at the same moment dealing him
a blow in the face. Suteldo struck
back, they then clinched, and after
the usual scuflle in such cases, they
were separated.
This collision occurred on the steps
Of the treasury. The engaging EDITOR
OF the Republican claims that the ar
ticles In the Republican were OF a
Ioclllar character, aud that In the coll
lision, he only used violence as was
necessary for self defense. He has
sworn out warrant against Judge
Raynor for assault and battery.

Might Associated Press Report.

The lowest estimate places the loss
at one million. 1t ia reported many
lives Were lost, but the rumors are
conflicting Probably some OF the
workmen in the piano factory were
unable to escape.
A Herald bulletin says about one
hundred lives are supposed to be lost
at the fire on Thirty-ffth street and
Zenith avenue. a piano factory, school
house and tenement houses were
burned.
Another account says, at noon the
fire was under control, but not extin-
gulshed. About thirty buildings are
supposed to be destroyed and the loss
OF life will be very great. There Is
now no hope that n single vestige of
the entire block bounded by Thirty
Fifth and Thirty Sixth streets, and
Tenth and Eleventh avenues will he
left. The school.house on Thirty. hh
street is already entirely demolished,
aad the tenement houses, on the four
sides of the block are already entirely
In ruins. Every moment only gives
new assurances that the result of this
fire will be really appalling, For the
first hour or 80 hopes were entertained
that the loss Of life, if any loss of life
there was, would be very small, but as
the forenoon is advancing .s becomes
more and more clear that the loss of
life will be very great.
Among those who are familiar with
the factory and the number of hands
who are generally employed, 1t is now
estimated that there must be from
seventy'five to one hundred bodies
buried within the ruins, and the mum.
her of those who may be injured in
surrounding houses, from fright, fall
ing walls and accidents, cannot now
be possibly estimated. The tenement
houses will have a sad record, for the
homes of many hundreds of families
are desolate, and women and children
are around the neighborlng streets
perfectly bewildered in their bereave-
ment.

The Rhpia correspondent OF the
Times communicates the following {:
Hobart pasaa writes TO the Levaut
Herald declaring as utterly fictitious
the published details Of the alleged
fight between the Turkish ironclad
Pethl Voulen and the Russian mer-
chant steamer VeBta. The vessels, he
says, were never within miles of each
other. The ironclad received only one
spent shot, doing no harm. The cap
tain did not know that he injured the
Russian steamer and he did not pursue
her, as his vessel was overloaded with
lock cargo of guns and ammunition
for Sulna.
The Times Belgrade special, dated
September I'd, says Servia refuses to
give assistance to the BOSNIAN insur-
gents. Their deputies applied here to
Prince Tseretilef, who informed
Prince Gortschakoif and the Grand
Duke Nicholas of their demand.
Prince Tseretilef however, read q re-
ply from his government, that Russia
neither can nor wishes to assist the
BOSNIAN instruction. The insurgents
may act according to their judgement.
The insurgents are exhausted, and
they are in want of everything. They
intend to treat with the Turkish gov
ish government, and try and obtain
permission for Bosnian refugees living
in Austria to return unmolested, and
tie insurgents would then lay down
their arms. There exists among them,
the Bosnian rayahs, great luminosity
against Russia. The rayahs regret the
useless sacrifices OF men and means
made during the last two years. Some
OF the insurgent representatives have
returned to the insurgent camp, and
others remain here until the future
fate Of the Bosnian refugees il decided
at a meeting of the insurgents and ref
ugees soon to be convened.
The Daily News second edition says:
We have just received a long tele-
gram from special correspondent de-
scribing his visit to Shipka pass, on
Friday last. He says Suelman pasha
has abandoned the attempt on the
Russian positions and marched away
from the neighborhOod Of Shipka.
Some say he is still at Kassanlik, and
others that he is searching for another
pass. My own belief is he is engaged
in trying to reorganize his shattered
forces.
There remains still confronting the
Russians few battalions Of Egyptians,
with some cannon on the heights and
few more miscellaneous battalions
in the village OF Shipka. Several bat
talions of Russian reinforcements have
been marched back, aud General Ne
pokoitscbitsky, Grand Duke Nicholas
chief Of staff, was returning from his
visit to the pass, quite relieved ant
satisfied with the position there.

day night in the nation, six miles from
Burlington, under the following cir.
cumstance: Green aud Bud Cook and
Young we're living together, Green
Cock and Young were brother-in-lawsi
aud the parties had not lived harmO-
nlOusly together FOR sometime. On the
night in question me diIiieuity was re-
newed In the yard, and Young went
into the house after his gun, aud was
followed by Green Cook, who had
armed himself with a pistol; when In

tim i've times, after which Bud Cook
came in and shot the sixth ball
through his head. During the tight a
little girl about five years old, daugh-
