Little Things.
BY HATTIE HAWTHORNE.

j 1t was only little sun beam that
crept into the mouldy old prison this
bright May morning, perhaps a stray
beam which had wandered off from its
home in the skies, had como to this
land of flowers and-after pla aging for
ia time in and out among the daisies
and buttercups-it had wandered into
the lonely old prison where, upon the
walls covered with'the dust Of years, it
wove lovely pictures some brighter
than others. but all beaming with beau
tty from this one golden gleam of light,
and the lonely prisoners heart thrOb-
bed faster, and his eyes grew moist as
memory carried him back to the days
when he, q light hearted innocent boy,
had watched this same sun beam dane
ing In and out the cottage door of his
bOyhood home far away,
Only dainty little daisy just peeping
above the sod. sosmall it seemed, that
one passing would scarcely note its
being here at ALL as each new day
dawned it lifted up it's little face all
wet with the dew drops of morning
and wondered what its mission was
here. BY and by from its home in the
woods, among the tail grasses and
ferns, it was taken to blossom and
bloom by the bedside ola weary one
whose sparks of life was slowly fading
away; from day to day, as the weary
eyes lit up with smile for the little
daisy, as the marble hands feebly reach.
ed for the delicate flower, its little heart
beat high with joy as' it thought,
"though but little daisy / bring hap

word in kindness spoken, just one little
word, yet to the. wounded heart it
brought healing, to the disconsolate
one it opened new life. Perhaps it
cost some one an effort to speak this
little word, some one in whose, heart
still rankled bitter feelings on account
of some harsh word spoken, some in
suit given. yet do you not think the
reward far out balanced the struggleit
cost, as the eye filled with stears, the
weary look passed away, and the face
lighted up with smile? So, these
little things-be they ever SO small

The Governor did not choose to put
himself on record as attempting t.
usurp the prerOgatives of coordinate
branch of the Government. 1t Is said
that Governor Nichols pronounced
the prosecution of the Returning Board
as In violation, in spirit at least, of the
solemn compact of the General Assem-
bly,. The Joint resolution was passed
10 good faith. 1t is more than prOba
hle that if Wells, Anderson, Cassanave
and Kenner were convicted, he would

Is just as probable that the act would
be made a pretext for his impeach ment.
The eases against the Returning Boerd
will be vigorously prosecuted, but
whether or not the prosecutions will
end here, the future can only deter

cure the indictment of Stanley Mat
thews and John Sherman as accessories
before and after the fact to the crimes
of perjury and forgery, charged in the
indictments against tie Returning
Board. r f
Wells says he will not decide upon
any course of conduct until he has seen
and consulted with Anderson. Wells
talked very freely to-day. His friends
say that his mind Is settled about one
thing, and that Is, that II there is to be
any punishment for deeds which made
Hayes president, that punishment will
not be borne by the Returning Board
alone. The conclusion Is very gener-
al that there are matters connected
with the action of the late Returning
Board of which the public knows moth

son rely 10 bring certain influences to
their aid in their present trouble.
They say If the persons on whom they
depend hesitate or fail, that no part of
the transactions which gave Louisiana
to Hayes will longer sleep In mystery.
Ii is believed here that the indictments
are the result OF some advices from
very prominent politicians In New
York.

letters is one from Mr.. Wells to the
President, expressing considerable con-

MORE detailed and authentic reports

MORE detailed and authentic reports
from the seat of war in Armenia tend
to show that while there is no doubt
about the Russians having lately
sustained reverses there, they
are far less serious than was
at one time apprehended. 1t is
very certain that the siege of Kars has
not been raised, the latest dispatches
reporting that the bombardment still
continued. Both belligcrents are hur-
rying forward r.infufc ments, and
further and severe fighting is imminent
at several points. A Vienna telegram
reports it as coming from st. Peters
burg that the dangerous position Of the
Russians in Armenia was owing to
Persia's having allowed q Turkish
corps to pass through her territory,
which was enabled to surprise the rear
of the Russians at Baiazid. There, is

sia, Germany and EnGiaAid.
NEW YoRK, July l0.-A London dis
patch says it is now known that an un-
derstanding has been arrived at be-
tween Russia, Germany and England,
and that each nation Is to have its share
in the spoils. "Sick man" France
cannot object as she fears Germany, and
Austria is now crippled a. she does
not fight without Great Britain at her
back. 1t is understood that Russia will
be satisfied with Armenia, and the in
dependence OF the principalities on the
Danube. England is to receive: Egypt
and Cyprus. Crete is to be handed
over tc Greece. GefmaBy's share oi
the spoils is supposed to be the Baltic
provinces of Russia, but others appre-
hended that Germany will be allowed
to further dismember Austria by add
ing the eight million OF Gernsans to
the rule of Kaiser Wilhelm. The
Turks are especially angry against the
English, whom they said deluded them
into war and then deserted them. The
prediction is made here that the wal
will be over before q months time,
temporarily at least, until Germany
gets ready TO claim her share, by an
agreement between the three powers.
