For the Sent1neI.
IN MEMORY.
BY WALT s. HARRISON.


ION the death of Mrs. Sarah Thorpe, May 81
1871
Mother, thou in peace art resting
Calm and still;
Sweetly sleeping deaths long sleep
At His Will;
He who gave His life to save us,
He who loves us, He who blest,
Has seen ut to take you. mother,
To receive the promised rest.
All is DER on earth forever,
All is done;
Thine eyes Will open in that home
Beyond the sun,
Where the Savior and our loved ones
Who have died and gone before
Wait with happy hearts to meet you,
With welcome eyermore.
Hearts that loved by death must sever
For time,
And we deeply feel the parting of our heart Us
From thine.
But, dear mother, we will meet you
When we cross the rivers tide,
Meet to part no more forever
On that bright and bett5r side.
Thou hast borne the cross to help Him;
He will love and care,
He will take you home and bless you,
He will crown you therei
For no clouds of sorrow, mother,
Cast their shadows on that shore,
Where life's river flows forever
There is rest -forevermore.

Paroles Rider,

The London World thus sketches Fred
Archer, the jockey who has ridden Parole to
so many victories. "As he enters dressed in
a suit of dark clothes. relieved only by the
chain which holds the magnificent watch
presented to him by Mr.. Dawson when he
thrown back and his bIlly-cock hat held in
his left hand, Fred Archer might easily be
taken for the rising young clerk in a thriv
ing bank, dropped in to take his chief g or
ders on some important business. Success
appears to have steadied rather than unset
tied him, and nothing is more pleasant than to
witness the deferential air of the most success
full Jockey of the day toward his former mas
ter and present friend and part employer.
That it may not be thought that Fred
Archer's quiet and modest demeanor is d welt
on oyermuch, it may be well to mention
that his present income, entirely his own. as
he is out of his apprenticeship four or five
years, is about as great as that of queens
counsel in mid-career; of special surgeon;
of any royal academIclan, batting perhaps five,
and almost half as great as that of an Italian
tenor singer. 1t is quickly earned. without
long delays, expectations and disappoint-
ments, for when he is put in charge it is not
long before the event is decided. His great
causes depend on the application within
the space of minute of mis- nice Judg-
ment of pace; his successful opera
lions on the display of consummate
nerve and courage in tearing down peril
GUS declivity, or in hugging the rails at an
awkward turn; his great pictures are dashed
in with q single stroke, as when he drove
Jannette through the leading pair at DON
caster; his sensational effect when he brings
a despised outsider like Chambert to the
front and makes mince meat of his field. A
very large income, the unbounded conf
dence of his employers and of the public,
might help to turn many heads Just arrived
at legal manhood, but Fred Archer quietly
goes his own way and studies diligently to
improve in his calling"

What's In a Name.

The other day an Irishman, evidently not
long q res ident of this country, walked up to
the ticket office in the Union Depot, and
said to Alderman States:
"Give me ticket tor Easthampton."

genial dispenser of pasteboards.
''Naythur; want ticket to Easthamp-
TOM
II understand; but there are Easthamp-
tons in both this State and Massachusetts"
explained Mr.. States
''Bedad, an is that so? Which one does
it cost the most to go TOT" asked the son of
Erin's isle.
Massachusetts," answered Mr.. States.
well, then, be the powers, I'll take the
cheapest one.'
The traveller was accommodated with q
ticket TO Easthampton, Conn, and he got
aboard the Air Line train apparently as
happy as a clam at high water.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
The school BOY.

Inc ScnOOi BOY .-ta
We bought him a box for books and things
And bags for his ball and his bat;
And he looked the brightest and best of kings
Under his new straw hat.
We handed him into a railway train,
With a troop of his young compeers,
And we felt as though it were dust and rain
Were filling our eyes with tears.
We looked in his innocent face to see
The sign of a sorrowful heart,
But he only shouldered his bat with glee,
And wondered when they would start.
Twas not that he loved not as heretofore,
For the boy was tender and kind;
But his was a world that was all before,
AS ours was a world behind.
Twas not that his fluttering heart was Geld,
For the child was loyal and true;
And the parents lose the love that is old,
And the children the love that is new.
And we came to know that love is flower
Which only groweth down;
And we scarcely spoke for the space of an
hour,
As we drove back through the town.

A Mothers Influence.

The late Thomas H. Benton, who was so
long in public life and surrounded by temp
tations, paid the following tribute to his
mother: my mother asked me never to use
any tobacco, and l never touched it from
that time to the present day; she asked me
not to game, aud / have not. and 1 can not
tell who Is winning or who is losing in games
that can be played. She admonlshed me,
too, against hard drinking, and whatever
capacity for endurance l may have at pres.
ent. and whatever usefulness i may attain
in life attribute it to having complied with
her pious and correct wishes. When 1 was
seven years of age, she asked me not to drink,
and then / made a resolution of total absti-

member of my own body, and that have

A Little Story That Miss Clara Barton Told
About One Little Family.
Miss Clara Barton's address at Dansville
on Decoration Day is published in full in the
Syracuse Christian Advocate. In it she re.
lated the following pathetic story:
Having occasion to pass through the
streets of somewhat Western city during
the winter of 1865 6, my attention was one
day attracted by the figure of a singularly-
attired, weird-looking little boy with a
basket on his arm in front of q bakery. A
soldiers cap and pantaioons, IN which his
his tiny form seemed nearly lost and the
faded, light blue cape of storm-beaten
striving to adorn its tattered edge, reaching
to his knees completed the uniform of the
shivering little hero. He stood per-
fectly motionless evidently uncon-
scious of any presence save the
large warm, nut-brown Ioaves within the
window. As l could not pass such picture.
l stopped and asked If he were hungry. Not
very he said, hesitatingly. Not very, but

Willie was shot in the woods when they were

Charlie he starved to death at Andersonville,
and Jamie, he was next to me, and he went

and then there was only mafnd and Annie.

beyond the reach of sidewalks, though al

And as we entered, a thin, hectic woman
partly rose from her bed to greet me. Her
story was only confirmation of what had
heard. Her boys enlisted first and early
and the father, partly through dread of the
draft, which he could not meet, followed
them. As she talked on quietly and tear
fully, baby Annie stole out of her hiding
place and was peering wistfully into the
basket, and the little military guardian
drew up to my side with simple child-like
confidence as he said; THAT was Jamie's
cap and cloak. They sent them home from
the Hospital when he was dead, but they

The annual bill for army appropriations is
under discussion. Unless tho voice OF tho
people is quickly heard in condemnation,
- Congress will commit an act OF gross ex-
travaganco and folly.
Hitherto the House has always made at
least the show Of n struggle with the Senate
for army retrenchmcnt; hut this year the
battle has been abandoned at the outset.
The pending bin establishes and pays for
25451 enlisted men, including the Signal
Corps, aud about 2,lj0commissioucd officers,
making total Of 27.G0O, to which must Ice
added 80 cadets and 40 officers on the re-
tired list, thus giving an aggregate Of
2S,3l0 officers and men for the military es-
Enlistment, popularity spoken Of as one Of
$4,000 men.
The force thus sanctioned by the pending
bill is greater by upward Of 5000 than the
one estimated for by the Appropriation
Committee, and approved by the House, last
year, II the House begins it's annual strug-
gle with the Senate at this point where will

Official records show that mp 10 the first
year OF the war of 1912 the army at no time
exceeded, in actual number, an aggregate Of
6,9A officers and men the average for the
first twelve years of the century was less
than five thousand. Increased, Of necessity
during that war, it was promptly reduced
thereafter, the aggregate being 1876 in the
year 1913. Still further reduction was soon
found safe, and in the twelve years from
1920 to 1882 the highest actual aggregate at
any time was 6,lG9 officers and men, while
IN all but one of these years II was below
six thousand. In the fifteen Years noxt sue

The Cipher Committee mot in this city
yesterday, held an afternoon session and an
evening session, began tho investigation Of
the dispatches IN cipher that were sent to
and from various Southern States at the
time Of the last election for President, and
made progress ia the work. II will doubt
less be known az the Cipher Committee; but,
In fact, 1t is n sub-cOmuittcc OF the
POTTER investigating Committee, and con-
sists Of three Democrats and two Republic
cans, with Mr.. HUSTON Of Virginia az Chair
man. The first witness before the Commit
tee Yesterday was Mr. SMITH NJ WEED,
Democrat, of Plattsburgh, in this state,
formerly member OF the Legislature at
Albany who went by request. to the
capital Of South Carolina Immediately
after. the election Of Nov. Z, 1876,
and before the Board of Cunvasscrs Of
that state had rendered its decision
upon the returns. MIR SMITH NJ WEED
testified that IN tclrgraphlng from Columbia
TO this city he used a cipher, which had
since lccn destroyed; Tut some of his de-
sratchcs have been incorrectly printed and
others enormously translated, while many
of thcm agree substantially with his
memory of the facts. While in Columbia,
he had no negotiations directly with tho
CanVassing Board, but learned that
while the State had gone for tho
Democrats a number Of the cauvasscrs
would not so decide unless They were paid
for It; and thcrcupon he autographed to Mr..
HENRY llAvEMEYER Of this city, aaking II
money could bc promised. Very soon a

EDWARD CoorrR that no money could bo

and another despatch from Mr.. TlLDEN
directing him PELToS) To return at once
10 this city whercupon Mr. SMITH WEED
informed Mr.. HARDY SOLOMON that the
proposition foI a money transaction could
not be accepted Mr.. SMITH WEED then
came To New York, in company with Mr.
SOLOMON 10 see II the money could be
raised from other sources outside
of the Committee; but. though Mr.
SOLOMON urged the negotiation, Mr.
WEED informed him that hc could not ac-
cept the terms, and within four hours the
Canvassirg Board of South Carolina gave
the certificate to the HAYES electors. MI
WEED testified that after accing MIR
PkLToS IN Baltimore he had no iutrn,.n ~
raising the money and did not try to raise
it whilo SOLOMON waited in this city.
This was the most important portion Of
SMITH VI. WEEDS testimony yesterday; but
he was subsequently, examined ut great
length In reference 20 the cipher dispatches
transmitted 10y him; aud some points of sig
niiicancc and Interest were brought out.
After Mr.. WEEDS testimony had been con-
cludcd at the evening session, Mr.. EDWARD
COOPER was examined concerning some
points 10y the Committee.
