AN ARTESIAN WELL.

The COMMISSIONER Of Agriculture has I'm.
der consideration proposition 10 sink arte-
sian wells Tor the irrigation of the table
Lands which stretch along the Rocky Noun
t,ins. With the problem of irrigation solv-
ed, those pisius would be rated among the
richest agricultural regions OF the country.
A. preliminary to practical tests, the COM
missioner has engaged Brisbin Walker to
proceed TO Colorado and report upon the
possibilities OF artificial irrigation, especial
ly wi.h reference TO artesian wells, which, In
those sections where mountain streams are
not available, seem TO be the only possible
source of supply for irrigating purposes.
This question has already been solved by
so effort 10 find oil in South Pueblo. The
Chieftain says: Our readers are we'll aware
that for several months Mr.. Clark and 9th
en have been boring for oil in South Pueblo
and the Chieftain from time to time has re-
ported progress as the various strstiications
have been gone through. On the night of
the 18th, the drill struck an arlesian supply
of vster al . depth OF l ,l60 feet. and the
imprisoned fluid Immediately came to the
top and has been running steady stream
ever since.
The water is OF course very muddy, and
will be until the drill hole is thoroughly
washed. There lie but little smell or taste of
oil percepIible in the water, but when it is
allowed to stapd there is a film Of oil on top
that can be readily skinned of and is high
ly iufiammable. The parties do not intend
to be satisfied with an inexhaustible supply
Of ~ater but intend to 60 down until they
demonstrate whether there is supply Of oil
worth staying with. Whether they get oil in
raging quantities or not they hsve demon
strated that all the xrid lands of the plains
and Rocky Mountain regions can be made
tillable by means of the aqueous supply i'm
prisoned in the bowels OF the earth, and the
time will come when the now barren region
between Kansas and the Rocky Mountain
foot hills will TEEN with an agricultural pop
ulation equal to that OF China or the steppes
Of western Asia.

American potitv. and civilization.

American pofity and civilization. 1t
is the reactionary spirit of Southern
Brigadierism, exhibited in attempts to
change the decision of the war that
abolished slavery, overturned State su-
premacy, and established the suprem-
acy of the Nation in its stead, which the
North hates with an eternal hatred. It
is the retrogressive tendency of South
ern politicians who, having captured
the capitol, attempted to repudiate his
tory, went back to the days of Buchan-
an, and began to legislate exactly
where they left off eighteen years ago,
which Northern opinion will be found
very solidly against. The Southern idea
of making Presidency fight in 1880
upon the same issue that was made in
the Presidency contest of 1860, and aft
er its defeat at the ballot-box was re-
newed and again defeated in the con-
test of war, is as foolish as that of max
ing a contest on Che rag-baby issue aft
er prosperity has returned. The North
will surely not recede from the stand it
maintained in the political contest of
1860, and again in the military contest
from 1860 to 1865. The inevitable con-
sequence of solid South, on the issue
that was made and decided by the war,
will be solid North. This is the les
son of the collapse of the foremost
leader of that programme in Ohio

AN AUTUMN CRANSON.

The high hill landscape of gold and green
And crimson color Is softly seen
Through the hazy lights where the slopes stretch
To the leaf -frinRsd edge of the smoky town.
The yellowing porch-vines bend and sway.
The peacock struts in a lordly way ~
Up and down through the drowsy day.
The fruity gardens are dusk and sweet;
Sheaves of lilies like white maids meet;
The wild hop blossoms drift down the air;
Yea, bind them. maiden, about your hairi
Like you, they are fragile and fair to-day. =
But youth nor sweetness can last Away,
So life shall be merry when best 1t may. E
In the leaf-strewn pathway the slim maid stands
Gold-drvpping honey combs drip in her hands;
High over her fair head the rpe grapes hang;
While note of the air he softly sang.
As here in the flight of the dusk they otood,
With thou thoughts of the I looks that ike sweet word.

Low to the meadows the strayed birds fly;
The vines are beaten; the west winds sigh
For the sun-sweet beauty that soon passed by.

A Fathers Sacrifice.

Not a great while since a prominent
| physician of Denver, Col, was called
to attend patient in the last stages of
what appeared to be consumption, bat
| which, upon examination, proved to
be simply wearing away of life-a de-
cay of the energies of mind and body.
Although well supplied with money,
the stranger was seemingly without
friends or relatives. He wrote no letters
and received none. An alien to the
tenderness and charities which sanctify
the affections, he seemed to be drifting
out of the world, in which, for him, all
the flowers of the heart had perished-
bleak and desolate old man, Fastening
out of the sunshine into the winter OF
the grave. After making thorough
examination of the case, the doctor told
him that although he could find no Or
ganized disease, yet he was dying.

.'But have you no idea of what

the interested man of science.
1t is a curious phenomenon. You
have heard a great deal about cases
like mine-more as q visionary exag-
geration of the fancy than as an actual
occurrence-but, strange as it may ap-
pear, l am dying, as you say, of a broken
heart" ~.

90 Yes, surprise myself. l did not

doctor. ~

"You say you are criminalP' pur-

"No, am none. But l assume the
stigma to shield another"
"And that other"
"Was my sonr' -
"What was the nature of his crime2''
The physicians curiosity had got
the better of his prudence. The shad-
ows of twilight were falling around
them. Through the open window
streamed the soft brilliance of the dy-
ing day. Clouds of amethyst and pur-
pie fioated lazily on the far-of hills.
But in the chamber where the fevered
breath was drawn quick and short there
was hushed stiffness which seemed
in keeping with the ghostly shadows.

A Ghost Story.

In these days, when ghostlore seems
to be fast vanishing into space, it may
interest some of my readers to hear the
following story as it was told me by the
individual concerned, q rising diplo-
matist in a pleasant Continental town
that l happened to visit. "You will
remember" he said, ''that on my re-
turn here after my marriage we took a
small house in one of the principal
streets, not by any means an old build
ing or in any way different from the
ordinary run of houses of the same size.
1t so happened that after we had settled
ourselves l was obliged to be away in
England, leaving my wife here alone.
On my return she mentioned to me that
she had dreamed four or five times
running the same dream, and that it
always took place when she had been
in bed about an hour. She was not in
the least nervous about it, nor gave me
the smallest hint that she suspected
anything out of the common. About
three days after our conversation, we
were dress ing for dinner, and the door
leading from my dressing-room to my
wife's room was open, when she called
out to me: is it not curious, l feel
exactly as if there was some one in the
room with meP Are you still dressingP'
[ replied that had never left my room.
That night, shortly after going to bed,
L distinctly saw a little old man, with
blonde cendre beard, come into our bed
room, and walk through into my dress
ing-room; the fire was burning bright
ly at the time, as also q rushlight at the
further end of the room. I jumped
quickly out of bed and came behind
the figure, which was standing at my
dressing-table, and was perfectly visi-
BILE from my room, saying: Come, l
have got you now!' AS you know, 1
am pretty strong-minded individual,
and have never had much leaning to-
ward spiritual fancies,' even when q
medium has held most of the spectators
entranced by his performances; but
confess 1 had bad moment when the
figure, instead of giving me a crack on
the head or begging for mercy, adopted
the more unusual course of vanishing
altogether. / said nothing to my wife
about the affair; but the next evening
at very nearly the same time, in walked
the figure again and stood in the door
way, between the two rooms, looking
at us. l woke my wife, and we both
had a good stare at him. felt it was
no good getting up after him, and in
about two minutes he walked leisurely
through the doorway out of sight. Per-
sonally speaking, don't care rap
how often the gentleman comes. My
wife also is averse to leaving comfort
able house on account of what she Is
pleased to term "a bogey,' so we have
never moved, and from time to time
our old friend appears and goes through
h., mo a
inquiries from some neighboring shop
keepers, and from my description they
at once recognized the figure saw as
the former owner of my house, who
died some ten or twelve years ago"
l reproduce the story in almost the
identical words my friend used, and
leave it to my readers to explain away
or believe in it, as the fancy takes them.

A Solid North.

1t is not surprising that the Repub-
ican party carried Ohio. but the fact
that the majority is only twenty in
stead of q round hundred thousand
needs to be explained. In a splendid
State like Ohio, possessing an excellent
educational system. rich in agriculture
and manufactures, the seat of enter
prise and learning, and the abode of
patriotism, it is astonishing that the
Democratic party with its infamous re-
cord should be able to make even q
respectable stand, to say nothing of
polling nearly half the vote. As has
been well said, for twenty years the
Democratic party has nurtured every
heresy known to American politics. 1t
commenced by paving the way for re-
bellion and sympathizing with treason,
and ended by champiOning the cause of
fiatism in finance in the face of the ac-
tual successful accomplishment of re-
sumption of specie payments. On the
stump, during the late canvass, Senator
Thurman actually undertook to show,
nine months after the event, that specie
resumption had not taken place! Is it
not marvellous that the party which as
sumed such an absurd attitude should
receive the support of nearly half the
people of Ohio?
In the presence of great audiences,
composed of the voters of the State,
Democratic speakers coolly defended
the course of their party in Congress in
seeking to repeal all National laws
looking to the protection of the purity
of the ballot-box. Nor did they finch
from the advocacy of the monstrous
proposition of the Southern Brigadiers

Winding His Own Business.

There was herdsman driving hum
dred head of sheep or more down Min
eral Springs avenue. They went along
as sheep always do-frst steady little
plod, then a clumsy canter like q
wooden rocking-horse, and now alto
gether in q mammoth wad of animated
wool. There was q good-natured man
with an umbrella in his hand standing
near the fence and waiting for the dis
organized herd to toapproach. Hethought
he had better lend hand, and SO he
rushed in front of the flock and waved
his umbrella as q scepter of authority.
The result of this generalship was that
the sheep rushed pell-mell into school
yard just as the scholars, like flock of
human sheep, were pouring out for
recess. In one minute urchins and
lambkins were hopelessly mixed and
intermingled. There was first sheep
and then boy, next girl and then q
lamb, while the maa, the over-officious
and superserviceable chap, who had
turned The flock away from the turn
pike was left alone between the sway
ing and surging flock and the school
house. Him an aged and petulant
male member of the flock marked for
immediate and condign punishment. and
upon him this horned and woolly Mes
tor of the flock charged furiously. The
man shut his eyes and opened his UNI
brella, but of no avail, for through the
umbrella covering the creature crashed
like circus rider through the papered
hoop. In wild dismay The man took to
his heels, and then old Nestor sent him
sprawling in advance of his flock, and
before he could regain his feet the
flock fell back into single file and each
sheep went scampering over him: 1t
was ten minutes before the last sheep
had gone over him, and then he arose.
