THE LITTLE FOLKS.
The Fish That Went Ashore.

The Fish That Went Ashore.
One day the fish were so enragad
At the boys who came to swim,
They vow'd they'd catch the first who plunged,
And make quick work with him.
But the boy kicked out to right and left,
And not fish could stay
So they wiped their ewes and wrung their Iins
Until he went away.
90 I know y cried one: " we'll go on shore
At noon, and let them see
How we can go and bother them
If they can't let us be-"
So on the shore they went; each armed
With things that lay around;
One bore the farmers old buck-saw,
And one his pitch-fork found;
Another seiz.d the housewives broom,
Another got the scythe;
And thus equipped they soon began
To wriggle and to writhe.
They wriggled and they writhed, poor things!
They cried aloud with pain;
And to the cool, refreshing tide
They never went again.
The farmer stared and laughed, " Ha ! ha J"
The children fairly reared;
They caught the fish, and had that night
feast lit for a lord.
MORAL.
Now here's the moral of my tale
And, prythee, well construe it:
Wheneel you try to vengeance take,
BE sure that you can do it;
Or, like the fish who went ashore,
You very soon will rue it.

Written for the SILVER srArE.J

Alone all alone in the evening,
Thi king Of years that are gone;
AS the shadows Of twilight deepen
AS the weary hours drag on.
Alone with the dreams of my girlhood,
Alone with the vanished years;
Alons with tAe hopes since departed,
Alone with my silent teas.
Alone, all alone in this wide world,
Left empty, and garnis he'd, and bare;
look TO the fast-coming future
With q desolate cry Of despair.
My heart that was once light and happy.
My Cheeks that were once all aglow,
Are withered, and torn, and bleeding,
And cold as the beautiful snow"
Alone with the passionate dreamings.
With regrets, and signs, and tears.
Alone with tue practical present
VII h the silence of vanished years.
Alone, mid the soxrOws and sunshine
That checker the summer skies:
Alone with the dreams If my girlhood,
AS the glow of the daylight dies.

WATER WORKS 10 BE BUILT.
4 he Town TO be Supplied with Pure
Womnta ins Water

Messrs. Smith g. Culver. of San
Francisco. manufacturers of sheet iron
pipe. have been here for the last few
days examining the situation with
view of supplying the town with water
from Harmony Mountains. They WIS.,
tied the water sources in Cross aud
Harmony Canyons, aud yesterday pnr-
chased the water right of w. w. Cross,
four aud half miles east of town, and
made arrangements for commencing
work Immediately. A survey Of the
ground over which the water IS TO be
brought. made by County Surveyor
Van Lennep. shows tae distance from
the proposed reservoir IN Cross Canyon
to the railroad to be four aud half
miles and the fall between 200 and
|, 800 feet. AS there ia ordinarily
abundance of water IN the canyon
this fall can be utilized for run
mag machinery and sprinkling
the streets. as we'll as for irrigation and
household purposes. BY means of
bydrants. with pressure of two or
three hundred feet. placed at con-
venient distances on the principal
streets. water eau be thrown on almost
any building in town in case
OF fire. so that in fact the
hydrants will answer the purpose
of fire engine. The benefits to be
derived from an abundant supply of
pure mountain water. are incalculable,
aud the fact that the works are to be
completed before Christmas, should
cause general rejoicing among our
citizens.

How Gov. Nichols, OF Louisiana, Closed
Upa Communist Meeting.
St. Louis Republican

Detective Hennessy, who yesterday
arrived from a New Orleans trip, in
conversation with Republican reporter
gave very interesting statement from
an inside view of the manner in which
the New Orleans uprising was suppress
ed in its incipiency
The Communists, or mobiles, to the
number of about POO, met one evening
in hall on the purpose of taking steps
to organize and enlist the rough element
for ugly work:
Gov. Nichols, who takes great pride
in the peace and good order which has
attended his administration thus far,
learned of this meeting and determined
that the moveme nt should reach no fur
Their development. Goirg to The police
headquarters, he gave orders for raid.
Chief ThorAs n. Boylan instructed
thaa ewo howitzers and 4 Gatling gun
be taken out from the arsenal, which
institution is in his charge, and with a
large force of men started for the build
ing. The building was surrounded, and
the howitzers planted, the Gatling gun
being fixed so as to rake the main exit.
Gov. Nichols then gave orders that the
Communists be notified that they
would be allowed five minutes to get
out of there, and that if, at the end of
that time, the meeting was not dispers-
cd, the building should be blown down
by the cannon.
Chief Boylan entered the saloon on
the lower floor and asked the proprietor,
a creole, what sort of meeting was going
on upstairs. The creole did not know
anything except that he had rented the
hall to the men, and that nobody else
would be permitted to 60 up.
well see about that, said Boylan,
as he walked up and tried the door OPP
ening on the stairs. 1t was locked, and
he called in four of his men. Break
that door down, was the order, and in
a moment the butts of four muskets
went crashing through the panels. The
Chief walked up stairs.
Addressing the Chairman of the meet
ing, he sung out, This body has met for
no good purpose, and | now order 1t to
disperse. Let every man get outside OF
this building in five minutes.
ooh. | don't know, now whether we
will or not" was the rather defiant re-
ply of the chairman, while the meeting
looked stubborn.
"Well, Know" said the Chief and
then, addressing his officers, Boys, get
outside the building"
Some one happened to look out OF win
dow, and saw the cannon, and there was
a veil which created a cOmmotion that
soon grow into a panic, The crowd had
two minutes yet to spare when the last
man had reached the street.
The Chief then notified them that if
they attempted to organize anywhere
else they would not receive any warn
ing but the cannon would be turned in
upon them.
There were no more meetings, and
New Orleans did not suffer by mob.
