FRANK1E's HEAvEN.-I heard q lit
tie girl of five years describe God
and Heaven to q little brother of
three few months ago. She was
standing so near the golden gate she
could see beyond it, but no one knew
it. In her heart she was sure that
Heaven was very lovely, and with
strange child-wisdom she had always
talked of going there to live. Her
little brother frankie refused to take
any interest in her mysterious coun-
try.
The earth suited him frst-rats,
the principal attraction hsrs being
peanuts. In vain she txisd 70 iD-

Rocky mountains were eonsul tied;
and after careful examination, II ap-
peAred that two passes known as the
Howse and Yellow Head possessed
advantages which. taken in con-
junction with the approaches TO them,
called for further examination II
was evident that the obstacles which
intervened between the passes and
the coast of British Columbia were
of q serious character, and that tho
selection of the pass through the
main Rocky mountain range depend
ed on the discovery of practicable
line across the whole mountain
region. After many examinations,
the Yellow Head pass was perferenti-
ally selected, and it was found that it
was possible to reach the coast by
the course and outlet of the rivers
Thompson and Frazier, the line ter
minating at an excellent harbor on
Burrard Inlet. It was ascertained
that portions of the route through
the Rocky mountain region would
be expensive, but that the engineer
ing features which govern the cost Of
working q railway and transporting
goods promised to be much more
favorable on the Canadian line than
on the American route.

Gated" with sufficient accuracy to ad-
init of of the construction OF an

600 men have been employed in the
surveys directed by Mr.. Flemming,
and the routes explored amount in
the aggregate to nearly 46, 600 miles.
OF this aggregate, eleven thousand
five hundred miles were 1aboriously
measured yard by yard. through
mountain, prairie and forest. with
spirit level, chain, and the usual ap-
pliances. Mr., Flemming is obliged
to admit that, although several routes
are available from the Rocky noun
tains to the Pacific coast, it cannot
be claimed for any one OF them that
it is free from constructive difficult
ties.

SHE HAD A Bon.-It was in Q West

cream was to be found, what they
expected to do next Fourth of July,
and then followed spell of silence.
Gently, very gently his arm stole
around her waist. He felt her trem-
BILE, and then he commenced pouring
burning words of love into her ear.
In fifteen minutes his tale had been
unfolded and then he paused for a
reply, but no reply came, not even
q grunt. Uncertainty was consum-
ing him, his hair commenced to rise,
and so did his nose, so clutching her
by the arm, he gasped:
80, will you be mine?"
She didn't say yes, but she did
spring from his side and that sofa, and
60 dancing around the room exclaim-
ing, "Oh, my arm! Oh, my boil
O-o-o-oh! Jerusalem!" And then
she keeled over and fell insensible on
the floor, Just as her father, mother,
brother, three half-dressed children,
and the dog rushed into the room.
Young man, what is the meaning
of this? sternly demanded the father.
The young man kept silent.
What is it, I say ?" be thundered.

Editors News AND HERALD:
We sometimes see an invitation
IN your excellent paper for matters
OF local nature from the different
sections Of the county, and we have
concluded to say word OF 80
about the Ozark Corner" And
just, here, Messrs. Editors, we
would ask you to tell us how this
section got the namo cf Dark
Corner" It is generally believed
that editors know everything and
what they do not know they can
very soon get from q reporter:
hence the question
The people of this section, We
think, como as near earning their
bread by the "sweat Of tho brow
as thoy do perhaps upon any other
part of the globe. Seldom cntoring
into speculations of any kind, they
generally, from the old man down
to the small boy, make regular
hands in the crops. As q general
thing, since the wal, thoy have all
made money, Notwithstanding the
heavy tribute to Cesar and now,
with the taxes so reduced, our
future is full of promise. Our
farmers have purchased but small
quantity of commercial manuros,
but havo entertained the idea all
the time that tho old fashioned
stable-manure is the cheapest, best
and most permanent.
We wanted to ask you another
question, (not that we care anything
about the old fellow that is, what
has become of A. S. Wallace7 We
have not heard of him since the
memorable fox chase by T. w. W.
and others last fall.
The "Corner," for the first time
since the war, has had the benefit
this fall of two months session of
a public school. This school was
taught by Miss Withers She gave
such entire satisfaction, and the
children all learned to love her so
much, that they constrained their
parents to raise money by private
subscription to employ her for two
months more. We are pleased to
say that the subject of education is
engaging the minds of our people
moro than ever before. We hail
with thanks and gratitude the
prospects of we'll basod public
school system, in connection with
the subject Of education. We can
say (and keep inside of the lines>
that this neighborhood can show as
many aud as fine.looking children
as any other Ozark Corner" in the
world.

stop. Cant you give us the differ
ence in the tax this year and last,

The Hon. Abram s. Hewitt resigned

cratic National Committee In letter of
considerable length, in which he asserts
that the result Of the Electoral bill has
disappointed the hopes Of every lover
OF the country. and that the grievous
wrong has been perpetrated Of award

has no just title to it's honors. Hewitt
defends his action upon that bill. Re-
garding his assent to the completion of
the count, he says that, as an honorable
man, no other course was open to him !;
but, II honor had permitted other

wisest course for the country, as we'll as
for the Democratic party, to proceed in
accordance with the law to the orderly
completion OF the count, although they
knew 1t would result In the installation
or Hayes. He recited his opinion that
disastrous consequences would have re-
suited from the defeat Of the count, re-
aulting eventually In civil war, and to
him appeared on one side anarchy and

myself, l feel that have now compile

IN. Y. Herald
Reverting to the eight years of his
exercise OF the executive functions of
the Government, President Grant said
that the question upon which he most
rested the place Of his administration
In history were we'll known and had
already stood the test. When he enter
ed the Presidential Office, he said, he
found the condition Of things most un-
satisfactory. Taking q retrospect Of
the success which attended his efforts
in this direction, the President said that
he was satisfied with the result accom-
plished.
In regard to his Southern policy he
said that his wish was always to secure
a free exercise Of the election franchise
to every class of citizens, and to sup.
press every kind Of violence against the
rights Of every citizen within the South
ern borders. In this he admitted that
there was still much to be done, and he
felt that there was much to perpetuate
the state Of feeling which has existed in
the South, but that he could see even
now in the near future wiser counsel
prevailing in the Southern States than
had the ascendancy during his admins
tratiOn. This was evidenced, he
thought, in the action of the Southern
Democrats Of weight and influence in
the disposition Of the presidential aues-
tion.
