CHAT BY THE SEASHORE.

CHA1 BY The SEASHORE,
We sat by the fishers cottage
And looked at tho stormy tide;
The evening mist came rising,
And floating far aud wide:
One by one in the lighthouse
The lamps shone out on high;
And far on the dim horizon
A ship went sailing by.
We spoke of storm and shipwrcck,
Of sailors who live OH the deep. mm
Aud how between sky and water
And terror and joy they weep.
We spoke of distant countries,
ln regions strange and fair,
And Of the wondrOus beings.
And curious customs there:
VI perfumes and lights on the Ganges,
Where trees like giants tower,
And OF beautiful, silent beings
Who knee1 to the lotus flower.
of the wretched dwarfs of Lapland.
Broad-headed, wide-mOuthed and small
Who crouch round their oil fires, cooking
And chatter and scream and bawl.
And the maidens earnestly listened,
Till at last We spoke no more;
The ship like a shadow had vanished,
And darkness fell deep on the shore.

MY LOST LOVE.

MY LOST LOVE.
When the silence of the midnight
Closes round my lonely room,
And family struggling through the curtains,
Mystic moonbeams light the gloom;
When above the fevered fancies
OF the weary heart and brain,
Kindly slumber, creeping near me,
Reasserts her welcome reign;
In the seeming
Of my dreaming,
In all the glow that used to be,
My lost love comes back to me.
When the fair delusive phantom
Fades before the wakening dawn,
And the rosy smile of sunrise
CLEANS athwart the dew-dreuched lawn;
Gazing from the open lattice,
Yearning memory pictures there,
Shadowed by the enlacing branches.
Sweet blue eyes and golden hair;
And the sunlight
Takes the one light
That it had for me erewhile
In my lost loves happy smile.
In the glory Of the noontide,
Her low ringing laugh hear;
In the whispering of the leaflets,
Her light f00tstep springing near;
In each snow-white lily's swaying
Is reflection of her grace;
In each roses opening beauty
Shines for me her fair young face, W..
Till through the falling
Shadows calling
As even darkness hill and plain,
hear my lost loves voice again.
So the Lours are peopled for me,
Through the haunted days and nights;
While fancy mocks my lonely vigils,
With the ghost Of dead delights;
And let loud life sweep by me,
Dreaming by tho silent hearth,
Where the vision of my darling
Gives old gladness back to earth;
While through each cleaning
Softly coming,
In sweet false lights of joy and truth,
My lost love gives me back my youth.
AL the Year Round.

Poriquo.
n. o. Country Visitor.

We would advise farmers in St.
James parish to turn their attention
to the cultivation Of this tobacco. The
demand for it, North, East and West,
has so rapidly increased that its pro-
duction is far below the requirements
of the trade, and that striDgency will
surely enhance the price Of the
tobacco.
The great mistake on the part Of
the perique growers, has bsen to en-
gage in the cultivation Of large tracts.
The incessant cares aud troubles at
tending the cultivation of this tobac-
co do not warrant speculation. Bet
ter confine yourself to the raising Of,
say one aero Of perique per house
hold, and rely upon some other crop
as the main one. Women aud chill
dren ars better fit than men to take
care Of this crop and these, we know,
have more than ordinary leisure to
spare, i'll Louisiana.

As l informed the World last night,
Mrs. sprague will, in short time, bring
her grievances into Court, and ask a de-
cree . of separation from her husband,
Her departure from Edgewood, and
taking up her abode in this city, are due
to the fact that Mr.. Sprague has tech
nical property interest in Edgewood,
which would legally permit him to bring
himself and baggage there at any mo,
ment, so that the place is not regarded
by the friends of the lady as a safe re-
treat for her. Since her advent to Wash
ipgton Mrs. sprague has appeared in pub ~
lie but once, at the theater, to see Jefer.
son last week. She came there escorted
by an old friend of her family, and in
company with one of her little
daughters. The son of Mrs. Sprague
still remains with his father at Canon
chet. Many of the most highly es-
teemed ladies in this city called on Mrs.
Sprague at Edgewood to express theil
sympathy and respect for her.

Shooting Aftray at ElkO.

shooting affray occurred in saloon at
Elko on Wednesday night, in which
Thomas Smith, of Tuscarora, was, it is
thought, fatally wounded by man
named George Hill. Smith had made q
raise of Sc, 900 or 81 900 in Tuscarora, and
was on his way East to get married. He
was in Carlin on Wednesday, and went
to Elko in the evening. Some time in
the night they went to saloon, and
while standing at the bar had, it is said
a scuffle about gun, which was dis
charged, the ball entering Smiths side
near the hip and passing through him;
The doctors who examined the wound
think it will prove fatal.

The Herd or no Fence Law.

I'm several OF the eastern counties IN this
territory the question of a herd or no fence
law is being agitAted and the advantages and
disadvantages discussed We have given
the subject considerable thought and have
come to the conclusion that Law requiring
no fences to be built would work detrlmen-
tai to the interests of our county IN Particn-
lar. Walla Walla county has many thous-
ands Of acres of land within its limits which
are not arabic, but fit only for grazing pur,,
poses. upon which thousands Of cattle feed
and grow fat, and most of said land is pub
lie domain. too poor to be worth 30 or
even 81. p per acre Upon examination OF
the assessment roll We find that our people
are assessed upon 6. 6.362 head OF horses, 20o
mules, l2,ll7 cattle, 26, 066 sheep and 964
hogs, representing value OF over SooO,oo0.
From the above it viii be seen that stock
raising in this valley figures as prominently
as the raising OF cereals. Our horses and
cattle are the admiration or the world. Now
with herd or no fence law in force. which
law would be local IN its application. 1t Will
most certainly drive this remunerative and
valuable industry ont of our county and IN
ure to the benefit OF the county or counties
having no such law in force, because stock Is
taxed in the county where found. Again
such a law would depreciate every farm to
the va!ue of It's fences, which are estimated
to cost about 800 per mile. And even with
this no fence LAW in force we believe that
every farmer would from necessities arising
from his own operations be compelled to
keep up the fences on his place, or have
them built if there are none. Such Law
may be necessary in Europe, where people
own only few acres of land, anu these 10.
Gated not in one piece but in many small
patches. To apply such a law in country
like ours is certainly eFroaeoGs.
Iowa and Kansas haze tried the expert
ment OF no fence law. In the former state
it has caused many quarrels and brOlls, work
ing disadvantageously, and efforts are now
being made to repeal it; the latter state, by
reason of its des.itution of timber, Of climate
and tornadoes, was compelled to pass this
sort of A law as no fence Of any kind would
resist the cyclones. With these views We
submit the question to the different oranges
in our county for an expression upon the
subject by resolution or otherwise, which We
will be glad to pablish fer the information
of the public in general and our legislators
in particular.

We publish tne sad news of the death of tine
young Prince Imperial OF France, who was.
Killed by the Zplus in South Africa. it will
be remembered that but short li,..-a since
he left the land of his exile, and went forth
like knight of the olden time to fight the
enemies of the country who had succored his
family In their hour OF distress. His death
will end the greatest romance OF modern his
tory, and is the death blow to Imperialism
in France, for Napoleon and his sons are the
only living representatives of Imperialism,
and are decidedly unpopular in their native
country. His mother, the ex- x-Empress Eu-
genie, will receive the sympathy of the whole
civilized world in this, her hour of atflict;on.
But few short years ago she was in the
height of power, her widest dreams of ambi-
ton were satisfied and she was empress of
one of the most powerful and prosperous
countries on the earth. The Pranco-German
war ending with Sedan demolished the finest
structure ever built by an adventurer With

through the country where the slaughter
took place, and dill not get 10 hear of it.
that Is no reason why it should not have oc-
cured The man reason for its hot coming
to his knowledge arises from the fact that
he was going to Boise as a member of the
legislative council, and on that account il
WAS considered necessary that nothing shouid
be said to him on the subject. Mr.. Wiley
asks us to ten the names OF the participants
in the action. This We could do very easily.
but we do not deem j. adyisabl. for the
reason that it might csuse trouble and bother
to men who are oRr old friends. Ii is posi-
Bile that it might be taken up by some annoy
ing philanthropist and occasion expense to
country. As the men did bu. avenge the
cold blooded murder of their friends and
relatives, We are among the last, who would
get them into trouble it is as likely as not
we shall be in the same position some day as
We certainly should have been in that affair
had We been near the spot. As the thing il
done and over it may be as well to let the
