The Good Little Boy and the

IfBarnum is not In his dotage he

good little cyclone boy In Mount Car

ing boy the special correspondent has
ever created; and IL he would bring
his cyclone with him and show how
he rides on 1t, he would draw better
than all the combined circuses and
menageries In the world. ini lhS

there was "a cyclone coming down

The Romance Of a Rose.
From the Cincinnati Times,

A story comes to us from the coal
mines of the Lackawauna Valleys
simple story, but with immense posi-
bilities. In the Diamond shaft
there was no steadier, harder worker
than Jim Gardiner. What he did with
his money was long mystery--he had
no wife, no family, no expensive hab-
its, no relatives that any one knew of,
and vet no savings bank account. 1t
was learned later that all but the little
needed for his daily wants went for
cbarity-found its way quietly, unob-
trusively, into the huts Of women and
children whose husbands and fathers
had gone down in the crush Of falling
timbers or come forth black land crisp
from The soorching ffre-dampy There
was something about Gardiner that
suggested q former life of higher
grade. He talked but little, but that
little was in words well chosen and of
choice dialect. His dress was as rough
as the toughest, but he carried 1t as q
man who had been used to face the
world smilingly. They called him
" Gentleman JIM In the mines, but
they all liked him as q man who al
ways played fair and asked no odds.
In the accident OF last April, when the
roof Of D part OF the mine fell In, Gar.
diner was killed. It appeared In the
evidence that there were q few seconds
during the crack Of timbers before the
roof fairly came down, and in that
brief time, in those few beats OF the
pulse, "Gentleman JIM had, caught
two boys with his lion-like strength,
and tossed them clear out of the fatal
chamber into the safe main alley.
Then he went down with the roof.
When his body was recovered the next
day they found him with his right
hand thrust inside his vest and clasp
ing tight . little pocket-book. There
was nothing in IL save card, on which
was fastened, with q drsp of sealing
wax on the stem, all that remained OF
q rosebud and two geranium leaves.
Underneath was written, in q woman's
hand: I" Mdrie-I0alte q toi--June A.

The frantic desire of the Republican
party to get rid of the negro by shipping
him to Honduras, San Domingo and At
RIGA, and, in the event of the discovery
of the impracticability of expatriation,
to deprive him of the ballot, originates
in the discovery by the bogus philanthro-
pists that the American citizen of African

Has raised into the realms of Nations song
and story;
Brave deeds have been recounted. of old and
BY orators and poets, in grand and graceful
lines;
From ev'ry nation, ev'ry cline, the people
hither came,
To learn that half had not been told Of our

Whateer may be the special boast of the hun

The happy thought to cheer us hence is. the

Their thieying and corruption had gathered
such storm,
That nothing could suppress it but TILDEx
and REFORM,
And Samuel J is just the man TO thwart the
greedy hordes
Who would defeat the nations wish, thro' cor

That he be installed in office, no candid man
doubt
And the peol lie will rejoice when Grant stems
down and OUT
Our own great Sta e is prospecting since STONE

And peace, good viii, now takes the place of
Gatling guns and Ames.
Retrenchment is the watchword and Honest

The CLARION sends its greetings to its read

With hearty wish that all may have abundant
JOY and cheer;
And to its friends in Jackson this CARRIER

That he would be remembered on this happy

If his speech has been too prosy, you can
give it spice,
