Are the Children Ho,ue.

Each day, when the glow of sunset
Fades in the western sky,

Asleep in his easy-ehair,
And watch from the open doorway

Alone in the dear. old homestead
That once was full of life;
Ringing with girlish laughter sBG
EchOing boyish strife.
We two are waiting together;
And oft, as the shadows come,
With tremulous voice he calls me,
: ~Itiisnighti are the children home

They're all home long ago."

Almost Anything.

KY n rsaifH y -
Years ago, into a wholesale grocery
store in Boston walked tall, muscular
looking man, evidently a fresh conner
from some backwoods in Maine OF New
Hampshire. Accosting the first person
he met, who happened to be the mer-
chant himself, he asked: 81 ssfs4
"You don't want to hire a man in
your store do youT's = 44s9 - p
Well" said the merchant, 81 don't
knOw;,what can you do?" e.'7 - -
DO? ?" said the man; Il rather guess
/ can turn my hand to almost anything.
What do you want done p -
"Well, if was to hire man it would
be one that could lift well, strong, wi
ry fellow one, for instance, that could
shoulder sack of coffee like that yon-
der, and carry it across the store and
never lay it down" -
"There, now, capt'n,' said the country
man, tthat's just me. / can lift anything
i hitch to-; you. can't suit me better.
What viii you give man that can suit
your Z
81 tell you,' said the merchant: "if
you will shoulder that sack of coffee
and carry it across the floor twice and
never lay it down, | will hire you for
year at 500 per month"
Done said the stranger, and by this
time every clerk in the store had gather
ed around and was waiting to join in the
laugh against the man, who, walkingn mn
to the sack, threw it across his shoulder
with perfect ease, as it was not eX-
tremely heavy, and walking with it
twice across the store, went quietly to
large hook which was fastened to the
wall, and hanging itsup turned to the
merchant and said:4fee s's Z .-a
There, now, it, may hang there, till
doomsday5 l shah 5neyer lay it down.
What shall go about, niister?. Just
give me plenty to do and 500 per
moth and it's all right" 80
The clerks broke into laugh, and the
merchant, .discemftted yet satisfied, kept
his agreement ;7aud To-day the green

is similarly situated, and only the semblance
of authority from the mother country ia
maintained. But III Ireland the people have
only the poor privilege of choosing few
members of parliament who are powerless
to effect any reforms that may be needed or
demanded by the people. What Ireland
needs, and what she must have is the priv
lege of controlling her own internal affairs
independent of the crown. This gained,
the turbulence which, for the last four hun
dred years, has been q source Of uneasiness
to the home government and Of perpetual
discomfort on the fair island, will cease.
The demand made by the Irish is reasonable,
and cannot be refused save upon the princi-
pie of despots that conquered territory must
ever be ruled with rod of iron. 1t is time
that England should show some disposition
to do justice to the country that has fur
nished some of her most brilliant intellects,
her bravest soldiers, and her most oonspicu-
GUS statesmen. It can be done in part though
tardily by acceeding to the present demand
for home ruls-s home congress and local
self government.

HOME RULE IN IRELAND,

The cable transmits brief but very sig
nihcant remark made by Mr.. Gladstone in a
speech ut Dalkeith, Scotland, n few days ago.
Referring to the present troubles in Ireland
he declared that tAe remedy for the existing
troubles was to give the people OF that coun-
try the privileges of self-government in the
sense implied by the dominant idea in the
home rule movement. In this remark Mr..
Gladstone has touched popular chord that
will meet response all over the kingdom.
The condition of Ireland has for many wears
enlisted the careful consideration of think
ing men in all parts OF the world. Though
the aspirations Of the people for indepsnd-
ence have been laughed at in many quarters
it represents an outcropping resultant from
long years of oppression. We do not be
ieve the hope of the people, no matter how
reasonable it is, will ever be realized, but the
object sought can be in part accomplished
throug b the agency of home rule. This is
legitimate purpose against which the strict.
est British nationalist can offer no ADEQUATE
objection. 1t is light inherent in mankind
the right to local self government. It is a
right which the British nation eccords to all
its people save those who are SO unfortunate
a to live in Ireland. Canada has her own
parliament, which decides q pom all matters
affecting the interests Of citizens. Australia

ity."
"What do you think of the policy and
effects of the extra session of Copgress!'
"The principles advocated by the Demo-
cratic party at the extra session of Congress
are simply the principles of free govern
ment. II it was bad policy to assert such
principles and try to get rid of the use Of
the army in the control of the elections

The Ute Negotiations Interrupted by False
Reports of the Advancing United States
Troops.
WASHINGTON, NV. 2S.-Secretary Schurz
received the following dispatch to-day from
Gen. Hatch, president of the Ute commission:
Los P1Nos AGENCY. Nov. 26.-All investiga-
ton was stopped this morning by rumors from
the White River Utes, who stated that rumors
from the Uintah Utes nay that troops were
moving to Uintah agency to make them pris-
oners and that all Uintahs had left for the
camp of the White River Utes, who now refuse
to come on till assured that this is not
true. The Indians have been informed by us
that this report is false and that troops are in
structed not tt; advance during the present ne
gotiations. In advance would close any further
business here. Ouray thinks the story ia the
invention OF Mormon element, who are doing
all in their power to create serious trouble.
This will delay the commission six days until
the White River runners return from Uintah
agency. (Signed) HATCH, Commissioner.
Inquiry in official quarters fully confirms
Gen. Hatch's assurance to the Indians that the
report of an advance of troops is wholly IN
true. Secretary Schurz has for some time sus-
pected that some adverse element was secretly
at work to retard, or if possible defeat. the eff
forts of the commission and he is strongly in
clined to believe that the source of the present.
trouble is correctly indicated by Ouray.
MRS. MEEKER's MONEY RETURNED.
Los PNos AGENCY, COL. Nov. 81, via Lake
City, Co.., 2S.-The port monnie of Mrs.
Meeker, containing thirty-one dollars, taken
from her by Douglass at tho time of her cap
ture, was returned this morning. Dougl lass

ivered it to Agent Stanley.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 28.-In the Kellogg in
vestigation Gen. Robert A. Parrow, of West
Feliciana, testified before the commission to-
day that he believed Swazey killed Judge
Winter. Had never heard Swazey's veracity
discussed.
J. NJ. Jewett testified as to the contradictory
testimony of Houser about Blanchard and
himself going to Kelloggs house with returns
and working on them there. This witness
testified at considerable length concerning
the election and registration of 1876. He
stated as reasan why the registration
books were taken to the custom house was be-
cause the evidence to which both parties re-
ferred was in tho Office Of the United States
| supervisor of registration, who was clerk of
tom house. The witness was then examined
from the record as to his testimony before the
Potter committee. Substantially the same
| statements were ELECTED from him.
II. O. Brown, discharged employe of the
internal revenue Office. testified that Morris
Marks told him some time last summer, in his
private office, when they were alone,
of his own friends whilst this fight
was being made on Kellogg, that he had to ap.
point certain ones to keep them from squealing
on Kellogg.
Paul Trevigne. a clearance clerk in the Gus
| tom house, testified that Million came to him
very indignant at rumor that he, Million, had
made affidavit against Kellogg and got him to
write letter to Kellogg denying the rumor.
Milon signed this letter, which was put in epi.
showing that Million didn't sign the so-called
affidavit

Another Snashun

Yesterday Mrs. G. o. Lsgerblat, residing
near Hamm's brewery, was run down and
seriously injured by team of horses and
wagon belonging to Mr.. E. G. Rogers, of
Dakota county. The accident occurred at
the corner OF Seventh and Olive streets, and
at the time old Mr.. Rogers, father of E. G..
Rogers, and Theodore Larsen, the driver.
were occupants of the wagon.
The accident coming to the knowledge of
Ofneer okeefe, the wagon and occupants
were taken to the station. There charges
were preferred against Larsen for careless
driving, and his case was continued for q
week in the municipal court. Mrs. Lager
blat's injuries were found to be decidedly
serious. She was picked up in an insensible
condition, and when brought to conscious
ness it was found that her right arm and leg
were powerless, the whole of the wagon hay
ing passed over and seemingly paralyzed
her. She was speedily conveyed to her
home, and DR.. Stamm summoned to her at

FoR the first time in his life Gen. Han
cook has appeared in the list of the inter-
viewed-a sure indication that he ia really in
the Presidential race. He has taken the
means SO successfully employed by MIR. Til
den in the past of appearing only as third

viewed by proxy. He, like MIR. Tilden, has
o confidential friend to whom he confded
some of his sentiments, especially relating
to his connection with the execution of Mrs.
Surratt, for which he has been severely crit
icised. This friend, like Mr.. Tilden's
friend, did not have the faculty Of seorssy,
and therefore gave to the newspaper report
Or full statement of the generals case.
That statement, it is needless to say, alb
solved him from all bla,a for the perpetra-
ton of what is now considered q crime.
The general needed no such rindication.
None but kaaves have ever considered him
in any measure blameworthy for whatever
wrong was connected with that sad tragedy,
and We regret to chronicle the fact that he
has takon the trouble to notice tho cowardly
libels that have been uttered against him.
