The Silent city.

Weary of life and sad at heart,
From the worlds highway roamed apart,
Through wood and wilderness. far away,
Till near the close of the dying day
l came to shadowy river side
And the wailing water was wild and wide
Where black-sailed shallop bore me across
To the Silent City nf Thanatos.
oh, a singular city it is to see
As any that in the world may be!
And strange community bide therein,
Unyexed by the mad worlds fret and din;
For they dream no more, or know, for ave,
The cares that wither, the hopes that die,
Nor touch Of sorrow, or pain of loss,
In the Silent City of Thanatos
And the houses all are straight and low,
Where shoulder to shoulder sleep friend and
foe,
And marvellous sculptures, white as snow,
Clean in the moonlight, row ON row,
And scored in the rock with curious care
Are the records of those dumb dwellers there,
lnwrought with hieroglyph, scutcheon and
boss,
In the Silent City of Thanatos.
And the kings of the earth, though never so
high,
With the vassal hither shall come and lie:
And the warrior, glutted with half the world.
Here shall find his banners furled,
And his arrogant armies como to halt
In the silent biyouac of the vault
And pride and pomp be but as dross,
In the Silent City OF Thanatos.-Gollen Rule.

Highland Reren0e.

On the shores Of Null, one Of the
western islands OF Scotland, crag over.
hanging the sea is pointed out as the
scence Of a tradition which would form
an excellent subject for either picture or
poem. Some centuries ago, the chief
Of the district, Maclean of Lochbuy, had
a great hunting excursion. To grace the
festiv1ty his lady attended, with her only
child, an infant then in the nurses arms.
The deer, driven by the hounds and hem
med in by surrounding recks, fled to a
narrow pass, the only outlet they cuold
find Here the chief had placed one of
his men to guard the deer from passing,
but the animals rushed with such i'm
petuoslty that the poor forester could not
Withstand them. In the rage of the
moment Maclean threatened the man
with instant death, but this punishment,
was committed to flogging in the face
of his clan, witch in those teudal times was
considered degrading punishment, fit
only for the lowest of menials and the
worst of crimes. The clansman burned
with anger and fierce desire for
revenge.
He rushed forward, plucked the ten
der infant, the heir of Lochbuy, from the
hands of the nurse, and bounding to the
the rocks, in moment stood on an al
most inaccessible cliff protruding over
the water. The cries Of the agonized
mother and the chief at the awful jeop-
ardy in which their only child was placed
may be easily conceived. Maclean I'M
plored the man to give him back his son,
and expressed his deep contrition for the
degradation he had, in moment of ex-
excitement, inflicted on his clansman.
The other replied that the only condition
on which he would consent to the restitu-
ton was, that Maclean himself should
bare his back and consent to be fogged
as he had been. In despair the chief
consented, saying that he would consent
to anything if his child were but restored.
To the grief and astonishment of the clan
Maclean bore his insult, and when it was
completed, begged that the clansman
might return from his perilious position
with the young chief. The man regard
ed him with smile of demonic revenge,
and, lifting the child above his head,
plunged with him into the waters below.
The sea closed over them, and neither, it
is said, ever emerged from the tempest
GUS whirlpools and basaltic caverns that
yawned around them, and which still
threaten the inexperienced navigator on

Rejected the Terms.

The old saying that some men would
want more if they had billion was ex-
emplified the other day when Windsor
ite. and Detroiter got into dispute at
the ferry dock. Said the Canadian:
"You ought 10 be we'll pounded, and
I'm the man who can do it! However,
don't understand the laws over here, and
don't want to be locked up. If you will
come over to Canada I'll pay your fare
both ways on the boat, buy your dinner,
treat you too the cigaas, lick you till you
can't squeal, and send you home with beef
on your eyes!''
The American thought of the PROPOSE
ton awhile, and then asked:
eff I go over with you will you buy
me a new overcoat?''

Piled the mad Wlndsorite.

annual Execution Day in China.

Recently occurred the anual execution
day in China, when seven prisoners were
decapitated This does not represent
the sum total of those who suffer the cap
ltal sentence during the year, for all bur
glars and highwaymen are speedily put
out of the way. The ordinary criminals
only are reserved for day specially ap-
pointed, shortly before the winter solstice
There are some curious cutoms in con-
nection with these executions. The night
before these unhappy men are brought
out to die a regular jollifcation takes
place within thegloomy precincts of the
prison. The doomed men are loosed
from their chains, and have a feast
spread before them, with as much wine
and meat, etc., as they desire. The feast
ing goes on all through the night, and it
is not until the time of the starting of the
procession draws near that the shackles
are put on.
At the appointed hour each criminal
is put into cart from which the cushions
and the cloth covering have been remov-
ed, SO that the unhappy man looks as if
he were in a cage on wheels. His ap-
pearance shows thar, however he may
have Jared during the previous night, his
general prison fare has not been over
abundant. The road from the Hsing -pu
to the execution ground is through the
Swen-chihmen. Through this gate the
emperor never passes. From the gate to
the ground the distance is about two
thirds ola mile. About midway there is
wine-shop, which for the last two hun
dred years has supplied the criminals
with as much spirit as they like to drink
SO that the most of them are in state of
lntoxication when the fatal moment ar
rives. The ground was called the ''veget-
able market" Its large portion of the
east and west street OF the Chinese city
One very peculiar system is that all the
men conveyed to this place are not ex.
ecuted; three OF four out of ten are taken
back to the prison to bear part in sim
liar procession the next year. When the
men start from the Hsing-pu not one oi
them knows whether he will be beheadeC
or not. OF those thus reprieyed, eigh
out Of ten will be reprieved the following
year, after which the sentence will bt
commtuted into banishment If the mar
escape for one year only, tits thought te
be an act OF imperial grace. A list o
those executed during the year and o1
their crimes, is burned by the emperor or
the alter of heaven at the winter solstice

the manner in which he has used its dele
gated authority.

For time all went we'll. Flossie
couldn't miss on giving the principal
rivers when asked; she knew them by
heart. Questions on the great lakes,
capes, bays, mountains, had to be an
swered when put to her. At last came
the capitals Of the States.
"Well, Miss Flosse,'' asked the teacher,
will you give me the capital of New
Mexico?''
For an instant she hesitated, then, with
look of delight that nobody but herself
understood. she answered; "I can't think,
truly can't.
Flossie Lee had failed, and although
everyone, was astonished, no'one looked SO
distressed about it as the one who had
been so anxious for so long a time to get
above her, and as the teacher turned to
him with: "Well, Master Fiske, can
you help Flossio out?" he answered:

est of smiles, Flossie stepped down ou

scholars and teachers were much surpris

heard all to herself, and when, after few
days, Willie went to her and showed he]

The Sioux City Journal publishes a brief
editorial which seems constructed to reflect
upon our Gen. Hammond without mention
ing his name. The Journal aeticle reads as
follows:
The reformers represent a class who have
yaunted themselves into Office by breaking
down the reputation of others. They are
largely men who have taken advantage of
circumstances to argue the existence of cor
ruption. They are men who have persisted
that everything would be right ifthey were
in power. Many of these men, doubtless,
honestly thought. themselves capable of an
unexceptionable discharge of public duties
thought it perfectly easy to hold Office
and avoid scandal. Largely, however, they
are, and must continue to be, p%retentious
d%emagogues and dishonest addleheads.
There is an element of honesty and of ca
pacity concerned here the people ought not
to fail to recognize. When yon meet a man
who pretends to know everything, or who
assumes that he can do anything, and who,
to magnify his own claim, decries the efforts
Of others and calls into question their pur-
poses, it is quite the natural thing to do to
put him down as a weak man if not a ras-
cally one. This common sense Judgment
should be applied to men of loud preten-
sions in politics and just now tits being to
an extent that is painfully embarrassing to
some Of them.
