The Ghinko Tree and the Woggly Bird
is the title as also it is the subject of funny
little string of verses like unto those which
we find in that charmingestof children books
"Alice in Wonderland One of the consci-
entious readers of the MORNING APPEAL "a
lady, of course), writes us a letter, enclosing
a copy of these verses and nQuiring if we
know the author We are compelled to ad-
NIT that we do not know; but it might well
have been written by that clever dealer in
grotesquerie who wrote the book whose name
we have referred to. The person who is
justly fattered by the hint that he is sus-
pected of the authorship of these merry jim
giles has only to say, with such grace of disa-
vowal as he can command, that he wishes the
suspicion were well founded. The next best
thing to revealing the authorship of these YER

THE GHINKo TREE AND THE woGGLY BIRD.
One Summers evening long ago
There came bi.d that none did know
And the ghinko-tree said "Woe is me-
lis the wOggly bird, said the ghinko-tree.
'.Ah me, ah me, and woe is me!
It's the woggly bird, said the ghinko tree
Under the shade of the tree it sat,
And built its nest in the ghinkos hat;
And the eggs were laid that seemed to be
The eggs of the foe of the ghinko-tree.
All me- ah me they seemed to be
The eggs of the foe of the ghinko tree
Its most absurd, it's most absurd;
I'll not be fooled by the woggly bird.
The sad tree sang; and ''Woe is me!
Oh, why was | born ghinkO-tree!
All me, ah me, and woe Is me
Oh, why was born ghinko-tree!'
s'Revenge is sweet" the ghinko cried;
To stand upon his head he tried;
But failed, for he had not been taught,
When young, to posture he ought.
All me, ah me, he d not been taught,
When young to posture as he ought
So now the little wogglets roost
CAT least year ago they useD
Upon the branch, if branch there be
The branch of the ill-used ghinko tree
All me- all me if branch there be,
They roost on the branch Of the ghinko-tree.

New York, June IA Times Washington
special says Statements are made by per-
sons who are close to the President that he
will recommend in his first message to Con-
gress legislation in aid Of the construction of
a Southern Pacific railroad. 1t is said the
President will not commit himself in favor of
the Texas Pacific road nor any other particu-
lar scheme, but will make the general rec
concentration for national aid to construct
road to the Pacific by Southern route
The friends of the Texas Pacific are conf
dent that the recommendation of the Presi-
dent in favor OF Southern line to the Pa
cific will help that scheme, and that they
will be able to secure at the coming session
legislation that will enable them to construct
that road. 1t is also stated with considera-
BILE directness as coming from the President
that should the Texas Pacific people succeed
in having their bill passed by Congress it will
receive the Executive approval.

Here and again one hears Of a tramp whose
capacity for malicious mischief gets him
classified under the handy category of the
fiends as in the following which we find in
the Silver State of May 81;
Yesterday morning as freight train No.
was on the way from Carlin to this place, the
train men noticed two men, whom they sup
posed to be tramps. leave the track, little
west of Stone House, and skulk behind the
sagebrush where they lay partly concealed
until the train passed by. Hank Ligtner
the engineer, suspected from the actions of
the men that they had been doing some mis-
chief, 50 he kept a sharp look out, and
slackened the speed of the train. A mile or
two west of where the men were seen he
noticed what appeared to be man lying
across the track. He whistled down brakes
and the train was stopped. What appeared
to be a man proved to be a tie, which was
laid across the track and braced with other
ties fixed between the rails 50 firmly that the
cow-catcher could not push them aside. The
train men are confident that the two tiends
who skulked in the sagebrush placed the ties
on the track, probably from motives of re
venge for having been put off some other train
on the road 1t is unfortunate that those
cowardly scoundrels cannot be identified and
punished to the full extent of the law.

RUTHERFORD AS A JEFFERsoNIAN.

President Hayes has been overhauling his
political scrap book. Carefully wetting the
point of his lead pencil, he has made sharp
mark after the name of Thomas Jefferson
He brushes up his memory and recoHects, III
a dreamy way that Thomas did some things
in the earlier and purer days of the Republic
which got him the name of a statesman He
was always like 'old Ben Franklin, laying
down some rule or other. Then, having made
his rule, he would stand off and look at it
through his two hands, examine it with one
eye shut and his head on one side, and then,
after tune or two on his fiddle, he would set
it up and look at it some more. If he Thought
it would keep he embalmed it i'll his everlast
ing diary and there it is, to this day. Ruth
erford has been delving into this time stained
collection of old political saws Having run
across Jeffersonian rule that it is best to re
call all foreign Ministers every four years and
have a new deal all round, he has made up
his mind that that is the thing to do 1t IS
the correct thing because Thomas jefferson
said so. That settles it. We are not sure
but he has made good guess. If one has a
"principle' behind his motives, the latter are
like to find good deal of gratifying justifica-
ton. The fact is, Ohio is still hungry. Ham
ilton county has been fed at the expense of
Darke; the paw-paw section has been fay
ored, while the Western Reserve has been
neglected. Ohio calls for more mud as it
were There is no knowing what will happen
to cousin Stanley. He must be provided for.
Columbus and Cleveland and Dayton and Gin
cinnati are clamorous for more offices Ohio
appetzes on what it feeds Hence the need
of a new deal which shall enable the Presi-
dent to have some Offices to fill 1t does not
matter that Rutherford started out with some
fancy sentimentalisms which he had imbibed
from George William Curtis and the other
political poets, about . civil service reform
(Which means, if it means anything, that the
spoils do not and ought not to belong to the
victors) it don t signify that Mr.. Hayes made
noisy proclamation of his purpose of not rota-
ting anybody out of Office who was doing well
enough to be let alone he needs something
in the shape of trading capital with which to
keep the Senate on the anxious seat. We
reckon this to have reconciled his mind to the
Jeffersonian practice. As to the diplomatic
service, the MORNING APPEAL quite agrees
with Rutherford's secret heart, that it is a
humbug at best, and is good for nothing but
to be used as a political football.

The usually placid Pacific is being greatly
upheaved by some disturbing motions of the
earth, The tremendous tidal waves which
lately swept the South American coast have
been duplicated at the Sandwich Islands. OBJ
servers at Honolulu, Hilo, Waiakan and other
points agree in the opinion that there was a
rise and fall Of not less than 30 feet, The
wave at these points followed sudden and
excessive ebb or subsistence of the waters
At the harbor of Hilo reefs that nobody had
ever seen before were laid bare and when the
returning wave came it rose fourteen feet
above high water mark This, of course
swamped everything shorewards. The dam
age to property is very considerable. The
loss of life is not very extensive.
