MILLY'S FATE.

aThere swims no goose 80 gray but soon or late Will find some honest gander for mate."
 And swinging her feet dolefully from her perch in the big apple tree, ,Milly made wry face, and then continued her soli. loquy:
 Il, Millicent Middleton. aged nineteen, big enough, old enough, and ugly enough" and there the witch laughed she knew she was not ugly-"to fall in love, and dying to do it for the sensation, and, oh, dear Now, shall imagine this tree my lover. Oh, you de----"
 But, alas as she turned to embrace the monstrous limb, as she supposed was the general way, she slipped, and in a moment more was on her way to the ground, ito be killed," flashed through her mind, and then--blank
 Consciousness returned slowly, and sly Milly peeped out under her lashes to see who was holding her so softly and gent ly.
 "Oh !' and snap went the lids togeth- CT again, and Milly's pretty cheeks be- came decided scarlet.
 "Never mind, dear said soothing though decidedly msni- Yoice.
 Now, that was too much. Milly sat straight up then, but, with groan, sank back. "That horrid ankle, how it did hurt 1"
 Walk she could not, 50 as coon as she gained courage to speak, she opened her eyes and said:
 "Oh. SIT, l am so sorry to trouble you. Did fall and kill myselft"
 Then, noticing smile on the stran. gers lips, for stranger it was, though alas for romance, decidedly homely one, she added:
 "Oh, please do not laugh at me! I live in that white house at the top of the hill. Won't you go for some one to take me homei"
 II beg your pardon, Miss, do not like to leave you alone. If you will al low me, will take you home myself"
 And, suiting the action to the words, he lifted her lightly in his arms and started for the house, and almost before Milly had time to speak again, he had reached 1t, and walking in at the open door, laid her on the sofa in the hall, touched his hat, and was gone.
 Then Milly laughed--laugbed until she cried twilhslanding the terrible pain in her ankle, until the stern face of her aunt appeared, demanding an explana. tion. She then sat up to give it, and with groan pointed to her foot.
 II fell and hurt myself, and that man picked me up and brought me home. Oh, any snkle!"
 Then stern Aunt Barbara softened g little, and bent to explore.
 The poor little foot was badly swollen, and cutting off the dainty shoe and toss. ing it from her--for Aunt Barbara dis liked anything dainty, and scolded Milly for being so-she proceeded to dress it according to rule; then, after propping Milly up in the cool, comfortable sitting room, she again demanded:
 
 Millicent, an explanationl' r
 Again Milly laughed, but seeing the thunder gathering, and knowing what tine clap would be, she merely straight ened her face and said:
 "I was in the apple tree, Aunt Barb, and fell out, and l guess 1 tainted, and

OURCROPS,

Some idea of the enormous quantity of
grain raised this year in the West, and now
being sent forward to market, may be OBJ
tanned from the following paragraph from
late number of the Chicago Tribune:
The cry of the railroads centering in this
city is ..more ears" The freight business is
SO large now that not a single road has
enough cars to take care of all that offers. All
the roads have issued orders to load the cars
to their utmost capacity, and most of them
are adding new ones TO their rolling stock
every day. The Chicago, Burlington Quin-
ey railroad has borrowed all the cars ii could
get, has added about 500 new ones in the last
few weeks, and is adding about ten more
every day, yet it was short about 80 cars
yesterday. Other western roads are about
similarly situated. But what is most note
worthy is that the roads Fading east are also
short of cars, although not to the same extent
as the western roads. The Michigan Central
railroad las short yesterday about 100 cars.
Never before has IL occurred that the roads
leading east from this city were short of cars
before the close of navigation, and 1t indi-
Gates sill greater rush of business as soon as
the navigation season is at an end. The
roads were unprepared for such an unprece-
denied rush of business, though the splendid
condition of the crops indicated that it would
be heavy. During the last i've or six years
the construction OF cars has Lot kept pace
with the increase of business. The Granger
movements, scarcity Of money, and othe-
causes induced the railroads to stop making
further expenses until they could see their
way clear. This Is the reason why they are
now unprepared to take care of the immense
business now coming forward

NEW HEPUI.JCay PAPER

The National CaicT, the new administra.
ton paper Al Washington, announced some
time ago, has made its appearance, ana is re-
ceived among our exchanges. 1t is a fnC
looking sheet, and It's editorials show that
its staff is composed OF writers Of frst-class
ability.
The Rochester convention being now &C.
cepted by common consent as the dividing
line between the pro and anti wings OF the
party, we cannot give better idea Of the
new journal than by the following brief ex-
tract from its article on this subject:
Mr.. Conkling must have cherished some
overwhelming confidence in his chances OF a
nomination at Cincinnati to warrant the
keenness of his apparent disappointment.
To all outside observers he was neither the
second nor the fourth on the roll of those
likely to be selected for the leadership of his
party. He stood so far down on the list that,
of all the candidates, he could best afford TO
be cheerful and TO wait for the future, honor
ed enough in having been preferred by his
own state for the high Office of the Presi-
dency; and yet, of all the candidates, he
shows the least self-control and the least sa-
fortunes by hurrying home from Europe be-
fore he had recovered from his resentment
or his fatisues, to make il certain that his
own great state shall not vote for Republi.

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.

Enos Hook has served two years as coun-
ty Treasurer. lie has proved an honest,
competent official, and was deseryedly re-
nominated by acclamation. 1t is always
safe not to swap horses in the middle OF
stream. We have had Geo Smith defalca-
lions, but Enos Hook has demonstrated that
the funds OF the county can be safely kept,
and the people will endorse the action Of
the Convention, and won't swap Treasur-
ers for the next two years. We know him
to be honest, and will keep him.
J. W. Neihaus is so popular that the
Democrats dared not put up man against
him and so they appropriate our candidate.
They made a virtue of necessity.
Lecompte is reported to us as man of fair
ability, but is not very well known.
Van Wrinkle and Richards for county
commissioners, one Democrat and one Re-
publican, which shows the convention was
liberal and besides wise, for these men have
both done their duty under very
trying circumstances proving true to the in
terests of the people, and it was no more
