20 TINE LIKE THE OLD TIME.

There is no time like the old time, when you

When the buds of April blossomcd ami binds
OF spring time sung.

But, DI the sweet sweet Fiolets. the noNefs

There is no place like the old place, where
you ard were born,
Where we lifted up our eye-ltdS on the spien

From the milk white gtea hat warmed Us
from the clingr.- Al That bore,
Where the dear eye .-i-aed Ger us that

There is no friend like the old friend, who has
shared our morning days!
No greeting like his welcome, no homage like
his praise!
Fame IS the scentless flower, with gaudy
crown of gold;
But friendship j. the breathing rose, with
sweets in every f-l1.
There is no love like the old, that we cOuIted
IN our pride;
Though our leaves are falling, failing, and
we're fading side by side;
There are blossoms around Us with the colin
OF the dawn,
And We live in borrowed sunshine when the
light Of day is gone.
There are no times like the old times-they

There is no place like tue old place-keep

There are no friends like the old friendS-may

BECOMING RICH BY ACCIDENT.
'ittsburg Telegraph

During an excursion from this city TO
Niagara Falls, and while at Cleveland,
an incident occurred which will never be
forgotten by those who heard of it. The
kcnnard House ut that city was
crowded with guests, when AN eccentric
ane witty druggist of Smithfield street
appeared, late at night. at the hotel Office
and demanded bed. The clerk replied
that there were only two vacant beds in
the house, one wherein was quartered n
PittSburg evening newspaper man, and
the other wherein was a Plttsburg
morning newspaper man, who were with
the excursion. ITO tell the truth they
are both pretty drunk, so you may take
your choice as to which room you will
sleep in" The druggist said that on
general principles he would take his
chances with the evening journalist, as
they eXcelled the morning men in
more ways than one, and he would doubt
less be so drunk that he would lie dor
mainly quiet all night. He went to bed
and was soon sound asleep. The jour
nalist however, awakened about Il
O'Clock, and, thinking it long time be-
tween drinks, dressed himself, uncon-
sciously, in the the druggists clothes,
and sailed out to make night of it.
Ever and anon he muttered as he treated
all present, Funniest thing l ever heard
of. When went TO bed last night only
had % cents TO my name, and now I've
got over 500 Showing corpulent roll
of bills), and I'm bound to spend every
cent of ii before morning" tie did.

GENERAL GRANT AND THE CANAL
SCHEMEs.-The announcement that Gen
eral Grant stands ready TO accept the
presidency of the proposed Nicaragua
inter-oceanic canal company is, TO say
the least, somewhat premature. ltseems
that Admiral Ammen, after his return
from the Paris congress, put himself in
communication with his lifelong friend,
and after urging HIM to make his retire
ment from politics final, invited him to
take an active interest in the construc-
ton of Nicaragua waterway. General
Grants reply was a cable message of two
Yords-"I approve" The Admiral's
inference is that the ex-PresIdent enter
tains no thoughts of returning to public
life, but is willing to become president
of the proposed canal company. 1t is
obvious, however, that General Grants
approval may be restricted to the enter
prise itself, which the Admiral had
outlined in his correspondence as n sub
st;tute for the impracticable scheme
adopted at Paris. While it is certain
that he has made close study of the
subiect at home and abroad, it is scarce
ly POSSIBLE that he has fully committed
himself and agreed off-hand to take the
lead in the Organization of this great
work.-N. Y. Tribune.

4 CASE or PARDoNING.-The govern
or of Iowa pardoned man who had
been sentenced to State prison for ten
years, on the conditions that he should,
during the remainder of the term, alb
stain from the use of Intoxicating liquors
as beverage: that he should exert him
self for the support Of his mother and
sister; and that he should not he convic-
ted during the term of the sentence OF
any violation of the criminal law. The
act of pardon provided that, as to the
first and second of the conditions, the
governor was to be the judge, and that,
in the event of the violation of either,
he should have the right to remand the
prisoner to custody for the remainder OF
the term of the sentence. The prisoner
accepted the conditions and was released.
Subsequently he fell into drunkenness,
and the governor ordered his return to
State prison. The question as to the
validity of this proceeding came before
the Supreme court of Iowa, and it was
held by the court that the governor had
the right TO grant a conditional pardon,
and upon the failure of the party to full.
ill the conditions specified, to replace
him in the position in which he would
have been but for the pardon.

The Commonwealth has this opinion
of the new southeastern Kansas editors
association.
At meeting of the editors of the Neo-
sho Valley at Humboldt, last week, it
was determined to organize an associa-
tion of editors within the following terri
tory: On thenorth, the north line of
Greenwood, Anderson and Lyon; on the
east, the state line: on the south, the
Territory lines on the west, the west lines
of Elk, Chautauqua and Greenwood
counties. f.
The convention is to meet in Burling-
ton ON the 18th of November to complete
ats organization. 1t seems TO us that
this ASSOCIATION embraces too much
territory. There are too many conflict
ing interests. 1t has been tested that a
state ASSOCIATION is TOO large for the
purpose of business, and we judge that
the same trouble will be found in this.
Such associations, 10 be of much benefit,
should only include territory in which
the papers are competitors for patronage.
For instance, Atchison, Leavenworth,
Douglas, Shawnee and perhaps some
other counties, should each have an
association and agreements should be
made as to the course to be pursued in
competing for business, whether private
or public. Such associations would
benefit the publishers if they could be
organized and their agreements lived up
20.

At the close of last year there were 81,
941 miles of railroad in operation in the
United States, with population of
about 100000. The number of miles
of road in operation in Europe was
about $4,000, for a population of some
thing over 30OOOO,00O. This country
thus has a mile of railroad to about AGA
inhabitants, and Europe one mile to
about 3,323 inhabitants; or, in other
words. every inhabitant of the United
States has about seven times as much
railroad as every European.

Their Rights.


Chicago, September 2.-About thirty
colored boys made demonstration at
the Lincoln, Illinois, high school yester-
day, claiming the right to admission.
They were denied entrance and ordered
away. They threaten TO take legal meas
ures to secure the same rights in the
high school as white children. The
school board assert that they are en-
titled to admission to the common
schools, but that the state supreme court
has held that the town authorities can
bar them from the high school. They also
claim that outside influence has caused
them to make the present demand and
not any desire of their own.

resented, eliminated on Friday in an
outbreak He, going home in an intox-

which she xFas and shouted to Mrs

the room and attempted to throw her
from the window, but those there pre-
vented him. Mrs. Sprague then quietly
began to prepare to escape from the
place, and at halfpast five on Saturday
evening she slipped away with the three
girls. There are many theories as TO how
She got away. She did not take the train,
and the impression Is that she took a
steam Yacht, for one was seen about the

after touching at the Newport wharf,
sailed away. Gov. Sprague will make
every effort to get the children. A suit
