II would be difficult problem to de-
termine just how long the affairs of this
world would jog along if it wasn't for
the motive power furnished by citizens
of Cincinnati, or those who have been
inspired to great deeds by inhaling the
air of her hill-tops and fragrant water
courses. 1t appears now that Major
General Rolof, of the Cuban Republican
army, was formerly Porkopolis
Parisian-a clerk in a bookstore. In
1861 he enlisted in the Ninth Ohio Vol
unteers. After serving two years, his
health failed him and he was discharged,
went to Cuba for his health, opened a
cigar store in Havana, foated into the
Insurgent army, worked his way up to
his present commanding position, has
worried the Spanish Dons immensely for
some years and still remembers with
pride and pleasure the time when he
quatfed his wine over the Rhine in Gin
cinnati.

corresponding time last year. The
imports of foreign wheat into London
have been liberal, last Monday returns

came from Cronstadt and st. Peters

irving goes direct to milIers, who now

MADISON, Dec. 4 "A meeting Of the
Finances Board Of the State Agricul-
tural Society was held in the agyicul-

Miner presented the annual report
which was examined and found correct.
From the report we learn that the re-
ceipts of 1878 were S19,OO1.29;
expenses l5,I8l.65; balance So, ,8l6 Ga
Owing to the bad session at Milwaukee,
last year, the society was plunged into
debt to the extent Of $500, on which
they had paid $1,000, At present the
soclety's indebtness is $500; interest
thereon $3l5; total in debtne-s S3805;
premiums not paid $500; total s43l5.
Deduct the profit of 1878 .and it leaves
the present arrears S495. 1t will be
seen that the society will be nearly
out of debt when they settle up their
affairs for the year.
The society met this afternoon to
audit the accounts of the secretary and
treasurer. The location of the next
fair will be decided upon 10 February

possession to-day of Market House, the

nouncing that in the meantime his

come, and was frequently applauded.
Mr.. Murray of Kentucky, replied to
Gov. Nichols address in beautifully

tions and joining together as members
of one grand nationa! family for the fur
therance of their general interest.
Gen. Bussey, as chairman Of the COM
mittee of arrangements, then addressed
the convention on the navigation of
the Mississippi river, showing that the
stream is natural and the only means
for transportation advantages in this
country. He drew attention to the
fact that our Government was blind to
their own interest by allowing great
natural advantage to be uuusel; he al
so favored the Texas Pacific r. r..

The Parable of the Lark.
Two welded larks were safely hid
Below the waving wheat,
Where in the summertime they made
There nest with grasses sweet

Two welded larks were safely hid
Below the waving wheat,
Where IN the summertime they made
There nest with grasses sweet.
And from the eggs the mother warmed
Beneath her downy breast
Out peeped brood of pretty birds
10 make their parents blest.
Built in the furrow of plow,
The nest was well concealed,
and all around this happy home
Stretched out the golden field.
One dewy morn the fathers wing
Was soaring to the sky,
AS with his storing voiced notes he held
His jubilee on high.
The gentle mother heard his song.
And knew love filled his breast:
But in her heart were anxious thoughts,
AS she sat near the nest
MY little darlings, "sthen she said,
II charge you listen well
70 all the farmer says to-day,
That you each word may tell.
The gil ttering scythe will reap the wheat
Which bends with golden weight,
And if it touch my pretty brood,
'TWOuld leave me desolate!'
The faithful mother soughtfo food
In fields both far and near,
Oft wondering, as she homeward few,
What news would greet her ear.
Five little Threats were opened wide,
10 give the instant warning,
That all the ncighbors had been called
To reap the field that morning.
"My hearts relieved" the mother said:
81 surely need not fear;
For neighbors will not cut the grain,
And we may linger here.
Listen again" the old bird said.
AS from the nest she flew,
"And tell me what the farmer says
Tomorrow hewill do
At might the fiuttering wings expressed
Great terror and alarm;
"We heard" they said, the masters friend,
Invited to the farm"
The mother-lurk was peaceful still;
Her little ones she fed;
And many time she whispered soft,
"His friends do not dread"
Once more returned from errands sweet
The lark inquired the news;
Hell reap his field himself he says,
And not wheat-ear losen
make haste! make haster the m other
cried,
Stretch our your tiny wings;
The brave intent to work himself
No disappointment brings.
"The fasmer's work will now be done:
He trusts no more his friends;
And surely he's the wisest man
Who on himself depends

then raised the box and got out from I'M

we were both ravenously hungry. But
we made haste, that we might get awav
before "Bige" and "Johnny" should re-

Stuart said we must get hold of these
two at all hazards. Itwas all ready after
sunset. p: ther than risk a scuffie with
them there IL the shanty, Stuart conclud-
ed to attempt their arrest outside.
We took two blankets, and went down
about half a mile on their trail, where we
lay down amongst some frs. near the old
road On which we had come up in the
morning.
Shortly after dark we heard them pass,
going up to their store camp.
We spent the night there, and very
early in the morning posted ourselves in
some ccdars, close to the trail. In about
half an hour we heard them coming.
When they had approached to within
ten yards, we stepped out suddenly, and
covered them, point blank, with our re-
volver and carbine. They stopped and
stood motionless.
we were and what we wanted. 1t turned
out that they were only 'hired men,"
They made no show of resistance. Hav-
ing handcuffed them, we took them. with
! their packs, to the settlement. They both
offered to turn States evidence-to save
themselves.
The next day we got the deputy-sheriff
and five men, who the sheriff summoned !,
to go back with us to the store camp to
seize the contraband goods, and, if posi-
BILE, to arrest the whole gang.
| But over half the cigars and liquors had
been taken away. By some means-spies,
perhaps-the gang had learned their dan
ger, and taken what they could of their
goods. However, we seized what was lett;
and the evidence given by the two men
arrested would have led to the capture of
the whole gang had they not left for
other parts.
| In March following, however, Stuart
arrested Eph Mclaughlin and Lige
Judkins in the Grand Trunk Depot at
Portland being able to identify them
from the view he had Of their faces
through the knot-Eole in that old gram
box.
They stared when he jestingly told
them how he came to know them.
