Wake. dearest, wake and light thy gas,
Thou shalt not be alone,
For still for thee, my lovely lass,
touch my telephone,
Though absent far from thee l am,
Yet softly on thy diaphragm
give my sweetest tone.
Ana though away ten thousand miles,
l cannot see thy angel smiles,
Yet l can hear thy laugh
And oh, unless fond hope beglileS,
Deceivtng with mechanic WlloS,
I'll trust thine phonogTaph.
And as grind thy accents out,
Then fading each fond jealous doubt,
III call thee all my own,
And absent yet, on thee I'll bet,
Bone OF one bone, by t. lephone.
My better half by photograph,
Ny own, my own.

In the light of the smiling day,
The lesson Is touching and tender
To sufferers over the way.
1t points to the bells that ale ringing
In heaven, uoheard here below;
Where the choir celestial is singing,
Near the throne that is whittier than snow.
The music of silence is sweeter
Than the ringing OF bells in towers;
II chords with the cadence whose meter
Is sweet as the wnd-harp IN flowers
BY the couches whose patients are sleeping,
And dreaming of visions above,
Two angels their vlgis are keeping,
One is Mercy the other is Love.
Not even the clock that's revealing
The passing away of the hour,
Can disturb, with dOlOrOus pedling-

Sanitary suggestIons.

EDITORS APPEAL-As much is being said
in regard to the health OF our city, its sani-
tary condition, and the present effort of the
assistant sanitsry committee, IN connection
with the city authorities, the cost OF clean
ing the city (noJ the streets) and the length

make few suggestions through the columns
OF your paper, tor it seems TO my mind that,
both officers and citizens do not know bow b.
act, or are only maneuvering for a few doll
lars Tor their rdthabte services mot render ed
AL my lite have been accustomed 10 what
the iarmers termed cleaning up day. That
Is, We had certain days IN which to clean all
trash, leaves or hlth, etc from about the
premises, and either bora it or cast
1t off to the field. Again, during the wsr
when our camps became unhealthy from ae-
cumulated filth, our general would either
order all hands out and clean up, or remove
the camp. s. l think now that our general
or our city fathers should order all hands out
and clean up, and burn everything that can
Ne burned, and carry the res TO the dump.
La business DE suspended for three days,
aad every man, woman and child, white OF
coltr.d rich or poor, return to their homes,
don their old clothes, and clean from cellar

their own wood land time) TO burn their own
nth. In the meantime, the city authorities
should have extra teams to cart off such as
could not be burnt, and then repeat thus one
day IN every week during the summer.
/ have suggested the above plan to MANY
persons who were impatient over the present
slow efforts, and all agree that it is the right
plan. The working class say that they Will
consent to 1t, and the business class
say that they will close doors and all 90 to

JOhn wallace. OF COIdwater, Killed by
his BrOtheF-in- Law, Zsck Jones,
near COidwater, Miss.
From an appeal Correspondent


CoLDwATER, June 6.-Last Friday evening
a difficulty occurred about nine miles east of
this place, between John Wallace and his
brother law, lack Jones, which resulted in
the killing of Wallace. Some men living
near heard the shots and hurried to the place.
They found Wallace dying, pistol ball hav
ing passed through his chest, entering the
back and coming ont opposite the left lung.
He was too near dead to tell much, but said
that he did not shoot at Jones. Jones says
that Wallace fred first, but other reports say
that Walace's pistol had not apparently been
fired. Il seems an old feud mad existed be-
tween the parties for some time, gro wing out
of business transaction. They met last
Friday and settled the matter as above stated.
Wallace was removed to house near and
died about an hour after he was shot. Wal
lace was an industrious and respected citizen
of this county, and for several years city mar
shall at this place. He was about thirty years
old, and leaves wife and four children. At
last accounts Jones had not been arrested.

THE CRURCH HOME.
Presentation of the Portrait OF Mrs.
william y. Pickett, the Late hide.
fauEabIe President, and the Earn
est Friend OF the Widow and
the Eatherless.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
managers of the Church Home, on Wednes-
day, June 4, 1879, the following interesting
proceedings took place, VIZ: Rev. DIR.
White, of Calvary church, presented to the
lady managers of "The Home" the portrait
of their late president, Mrs. William s.
Pickett, which had been procured by her
friends through Rt. Rev. Bishop Quintard for
this purpose. DR.. White, in presenting the
portrait, said:
LADIES OF THE CHURCH HoNE-I have
been requested to present to you this por-
trait. 1t is the portrait of a lady to whose
worth you will all bear testimony. / may
not be charged with remarks too unqualified
when | venture to say that to Mrs. Pickett
the Church Home is under obligations espe-
cialiy worthy of remembrance. From the
hISt organization OF your noble society she
mas been identified with it. Her zeal to ad-
vance It's interests has never been abated.
When fears we're entertained that it would
prove failure, she persisted In her efforts.
Difficulties did not lntimidate her-opposi-
COn did not discourage her. With an ardor
that scarcely knew any bounds, she perse-
Vered in her labor of love, and her fondest
hopes have been realized. To-day che sees
the Church Home in a tlourishing condition,
tree from debt, and making ample provision
tor the orphans. Be pleased to accept this
picture. Let it be placed in a conspicuous
place in your asylum. Tell your orphans of
the unwearied efforts of this lady to provide
for their wants, and teach them to offer to
God their prayers for her and all their bene-
factors.
The portrait was received by Mrs. George
G Harris, the efficient PRECEDENT of the
ChuIch Home, in few eloquent remarks, in
the course of which she said that the Home
returned thanks to the right reverend the
bishop for the valuable glft-valuable as a
work of art, but more valuable because it
portrayed so faithfully the features of one
whose long life had been one Of service and
devotion in the work of providing Tor orphan
children. The Church Home owes to Mrs.
Pickett more than to any other human being
Its existence and prosperous success. 1t
would be to her memory more lasting monu-
ment than even loving hands, aided by atfiu
euce, would be ever able TO erect. The
Home" has been firmly established as an i'm
portant institution of the diocese of Tennessee.
The portrait is an admirable painting and
likeness, by Mr.. Charles 2. Stewart, native
OF Memphis, and a successful and rising
artist IN hIs profession.

and victory would have been as
sured. The fact that large num-
bers of Republicans are supporting
Glenn can be concluslvely demon.
strated in Los Angeles county.
Glenn Is as strong in such pro-
nounced Republican precincts as
Compton, Florence, Orange, West
minister, and others, as he ls in
such strongholds of the "unterri-
fed" as Downey and the Monte.
The same causes have undoubtedly
produced the same effects in many
other sections of California. The
Democratic-New Constitution cam
didate will probably be relatively
weakest and White relatively
strongest In San Francisco. The
HERALD does not place the vote of
White as low as many journals, in.
cluding the Chronicle, whose pre-
dictions have been placed on
record. No one is justified in stat
ing his vote under forty thousand,
and there will in all likelihood be a
poll of 150, 900 to l55, 900 votes on the
81 Of September. or these Perkins
ought to receive fifty Thousand. This
would not leave Glenn the large
plurality claimed by the Chronicle,
but 1t would seat him in the Gu.
bernatorial chair very satisfactory

Of any of the candidates in the
present race is very sanguine in

favorite by plurality of more
than from ten to fifteen thousand.

1T is almost impossible to deny
to Glenn very handsome plural
ity of the votes of the State If we
are to believe the multitudinous
dispatches published daily by the
chronicle. A conversation had by
US with gentlemen who has re-
Gently been through thirteen coun-
ties of California leads US to think
that the Chronicle is not reckoning
without its host. OF course, if the
unbroken Republican strength
could be rallied around Perkins,
that gentleman would have as
large vote as Irwin had In the
campaign of 1875. The Democratic
party contributes the bulk of the
votes of the Workingmen's party
and it is the hope of the friends of
Glenn that the Republicans are
equally well represented In the
ranks of the New Constitution
party. This expectation would
have been absurd had the Republi-
cans nominated Davis or Swift.
Either of those gentlemen would
have united the Republican party

A DOUBTFUL STORY.
Bob Ingorsoll Said to Have Deserted the Lovely
Republican Party.
New York Sunday News

New York sunday News,I
Col. Bob Ingersol has proclaim
ed war against Mr.. Hayes and the
Republican party. The cause OF
all this trouble is that Mr.. Hayt 8
refused to grant u pardon to Mr.. ID
Nj. Bennett, convicted a short time
since for sending questionable mat
ter through the United States
mails.
Mr.. Iugersoll said yesterday: Wn
regard to Benefits case, l have
made u personal appeal to the Pres
ident to give Bennett pardon, tol
the simple reason that he is UNDER
soing sentence which even his
prosecutors have admitted to be uu-
just. presented petitions 10 the
President signed by over twenty
thousand people of all creeas, ask
lug for his Release; aud when l lett
the President he almost said that 1,
pardon should be granted, as in the
case of Hey wood.
II then found that others had
drawn up petitions against the re-
lease of Benuett, ami the lear OF
MIR. Hayes had been secured in fav
ur Of the church party. The result
is, as you find it, no pardon.p
"Wh hat do you propose doing?"
was the inquiry.
II am member of the National
Liberal League, of which the Hon
Eiizur Wright, of Boston, is Presi-
dent. We met few days ago at
the Astor House, and, after discuss
ing the matter, we decided that we
should throw our political power in
the scales against those who SEEM
ed uppermost in prosecuting us to
the bitter end. We raised $1,000 OH
the spot to engage the largest hall
In Cincinnati, where we propose to
hold our Annual Convention, and
this will be one month earlier than
usual. We mean to stir up feel
ing so that the Ohio election shall
not be given up to Sherman or to
Foster, but to Ewing. My influence
in Ohio is well known, and outside
of that the League is backed by
large numbers from other States.
"rhe Liberal League is composed
of social clubs in every city and in
country places, and at the present
time there are close upon two hun
dred regular organizations, which
embrace small cities and towns.
Others are being rapidly formed in
the West and the League is doing
excellent work"
