An lee Yarn.

They tell of well in Western town,
A wonderful gap in the gaping ground;
Where the water flows from stream far down
With a gush, rush and roaring sound,
And blast Of freezing air.
The water leaps forth from its hidden spout,
And it never lets up for inmate,
Yet freezes as fast as it bubbles out;
And the well takes all that gathers in it
And safely retains it there.
OF course it's all right, though We cannot see
How the ice water steady keeps running,
And think that the chap who tells it must be
Either lying in earnest or funning,
Though lying, out West, is rare.

SENATOR Bruce, of Mississippi, has
expressed the belief that he would be the
last of his race to hold a seat in the
United States Senate We are inclined
to think that Senator Bruces prediction
will be fulfilled to the letter The time
when negroes may be chosen to fill the
highest positions in the country has been
left by the cruel tide of time, stranded
high upon the rocks Of the past The
colOred statesman was not success, and
is not considered a necessity by the
American people, who will therefore dis
pense with his services in the future. We
may also add that the time is not far dis
tant when radicals, either white OF black,
will be very scarce in our national halls of
LEGISLATION and that time will bring with
it wiser and juster laws. and swindling
legislation will cease. The people are
fully tired of ignorance and knavery in
high official places.

The SILVER KINGS WIFE--We have
read a deal lately concerning John Maekay
intending to assume a French OF Italian
title. Now, as far as John Is concerned,
this bosh makes no difference whatever,
for all who know him are well aware that
he is the same John Mackay as when he
worked In the mines rs a prospector.
There is no shoddyism abont him, and We
question il he would not feel far more
happy with his old and early friends about
him than to be feted and petted as Grant
has been by ali the crowned heads of Eu-
rope. Be it understood that John Mackay
is no illiterate scrub, but solid business
man; and this We state not because he is
millionaire, but because we know him
to be a square, honest man. 1t is about
the remarks mace concerning Mrs. Mackay
that We have to speak. The idea of the
bonanza kings wife keeping high state in
the city of Paris, the centre of attraction
for the creme de la creme Of society of the
civilized globe, was made the subject of
much comment, and the lady spoken of
as shoddyite and parvenue, but such is
not the case, for the lady in question Is
the equal of any one that breathes on this
continent in point of education and train
ing The daughter of Major Hungerford
and his wife, as finely an educated lady
as ever graced ball room in the capitol
of the United States, Mrs Mackay re-
ceived most thorough education in al
the modern languages, and is finished
French scholar and fine musician The
young widow Of DR.. Bryant, physician
of great ability, she was left IN poor cir
cumstances, and in almost an impecunious
condition, was, with her young family,
introduced to the rising nan, John Mac
kay, and made the partner Of his rapidly
improving fortunes, and is as suited to
grace the habitation of millionaire as
any princess in Europe. Chicago Tribune.

An Unsuccessful Raid.

About II o'clock last evening Lieut.. Austin,
with three officers, entered a gambling room
on G street, between Fourteenth and Ff-
teenth, over BOdin's restaurant, known as
"Garficld's," and captured a far" table, sew
eral boxes of playing cards and lot of chips.
At the time the officers entered, the gainb-
lers were at lunch in another room, but as
no game was In progress, and they are all
well known to the police, no arrests were
made Steps will be taken to bring the pro-
prietor to Justice to-day.-Washington Union,

THIS characteristic little letter Of Horace
Greeley's has just got into print, written
to a Hartford man who wanted to engage
him for lecture nine years ago: Il

Hartford unless l am really wanted there
and the fact that / am asked to lecture
for half price convinces me that l am not
wanted. So let me wait a year OF two,
till 1 shall be more in demand in your city
than now am"

ASgeDOTE OF PETER THE GREAT.

Peter of Russia, or Peter the Great as
he is commonly called, was man of re-
markable qualities of mind. and though
very arbitrary, was still kind and consid-
crate to those who deserved encourage
ment. One day young recruit was
standing guard before the door of the en-
trance to Peters private chambers in
the palace of St. Petersburg. He has
received orders to admit no one. AS he
was passing slowly up and down before
the door, Prince Mentchikoff, the fayorite
minister of the czar, approached, attempt
ing to enter. He was stopped by the re-
cruit. The prince who had the fullest
liberty of calling upon his master at any
time sought to push the guard and pass
him, yet the young man would not move,
but ordered his higness to stand back.
You fool !" shouted the Prince, "don't
you know me?'
The recruit smiled and said, "very
| well, your highness. but my orders are
peremptory to let nobody pass"
The Prince, exasparated at the low fell
lows impudence struck him blow in
the face with has riding whip.
Strike away, your hghness, "but
cannot let you 60 in -sad
Peter, in the room, hearing the noise
outside, opened the door and inquired
what it meant, and the Prince told him.
The Car was amused, but said nothing at
the time. In the evening, however, he
sent for the Prince and the soldier. As
they both appeared, Peter gave his own
cane to the soldier, saying 2a
THAT man struck you in the morning !;
now you must return the blow to that fel-
low with my stick"
The Prince was amazed "Your majes-
| ty," he said, this common soldier Is to
strike meP" #9p
81 make him captain," said Peter.
"But I'm an officer of your majesty's
household objected the Prince.
81 make him colonel of nv Life Guards
and an officer of the household" said
Peter again.
MY rank. your majesty knows. is that
of general" again protested Mentchikoff.
Then | make him general, so that the
beating you may get may come from
man OF your rank"
The Prince got a thrashing in the pres
ence of the Car, the recruit was next day
commissioned general. with the title OF
Count Oroinofl, and was the founder of
powerful family whose descendants are
still high in the imperial service of Russia.

All Aboard for Chicago.
At an impromptu meeting, COTTON up last
week at Spartanburg, on the occasion of the
visit of the Washington Committee of the Vine
Growers Association, a number of speeches were
made, and in closing good report of the meet
ing, correspondent of the Columbia Register
says:
Last, but not least, Col. r. Y McAden, of
Charlotte, was called and made about the best
speech of all. He went right into the middle
of politics and nailed his banner to the Hamp-
ton mast, and said that South Carolina's Cover
nor by his sound conservative policy, had done
more to conciliate the North and South than
any other man, and that to-day he stood head
and shoulders above them all. He then spoke
of the Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad. and
announced that arrangements had been made
that day by which the cars would 60 into Hen
derson early in July, anl made the thrilling
prediction that in two years from today the
people of Spartanburg would hear on the street
call aboard for Chicago"
So mote it be.

Cheap Advertising.

Cneap AdVeruslnB
1t does seem to us that advertising has got
to the very lowest ebb. Either the publishers
of newspapers have encouraged tremendous
reduction by accepting offers at ruinous rates or
advertisers do not appreciate the value Of the
services rendered by newspapers. Here we
have an offer to publish an advertisement Of .
little over q square, for one month, with a local
notice about the same length, for which we are
promised t,co dollars. Almost every day We have
offers to publish for n year. for which we ore re-
questcd to send the avertisscr from S25 to 500,
before we can get dollar for our services If we
were to accept oil the offers made for publishing
advertisements we would fill at least three fourtns
Of our paper with them and have in our pocket
from one to two thousand dollars in due bills
but it would require from $500 to $1,000
cash from us, to make those due bills avail
able, and then get paid in Pianos, Sewing Ma.

Congressman Eyins.


We have carefully scrutinizcd the course of
Col Evins, our Representative in Congress, and
! az Ear from finding anything to complain of,
feel great pleasure in endorsing his conduct
throughout. He has made no great speech, nor
has he practiced the role of too many newly
hedged politicians, by parading himself and his
opinions before congress upon any and every oc-
casion, merely for effect upon his constituents !;
but by dignity Of department anda quiet cxer-
else of his fine abilities and pure manly quail
ties, lie is establishing for himself name and
influence in the national councils which, in a
few years, will be made powerful for the honor
and advantage of his State and immediate con-
stituents. But an experience of one term is
not fair trial of mans ability and usefulness
in Congress. In tha; time he hardly "learns the
ropes" and we unhssitatingly announce deci-
dsd preference for him as our candidate for re-
election.
We are pleased to find that in the general
scramble for office but very slight effort is made
to supplant Col Evins. II speaks we'll for the
people and certainly is m endorsement of the
Coils. course.

a HINT TO REVENUE OFFICIALS AND DETEC.
TIvEs.-The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
to-day issued the following circular letter to all
collectors OF internal revenue: "The number
Of cases for violation of the internal revenue
laws that are placed upon the dockets of the
courts throughout the country, is great, and
the expenditures for the trial of these cases is
so large, an in many courts, in consequence of
the great nuU,ber Of cases, the delay in bringing
cases 20 trial is so great that it becomes a mat.
ter of great Importance that the officers of the
Government should observe the utmost degree,
Of care in bringing cases into court"
In view of the facts above stated; as well as
the rights of the citizensaSeased, you are there
fore instructed before reporting case to the
Mstrlct-Attorney fer prosecution, to examine
into the same with the utmost degree of care,
with view of giving the rict-Iiuorney such
definite information in regard to the case, as
will enable him to determine the question of the
proPriety of instituting proceedings. 1t is not
the wish Of this office, that trivial cases or cases
Of n mere technical character involving no loss
to the government, and where no fraud has been
committed, or intended, should be dgnifed by
being brought into court for prosecution. On
the other hand, where persons have knowingly
and wilfully violated the law with evident inten-
ton of defrauding the government of its reve-
nues vigorous measures should be taken TO bring
the parties to trial and punishment
