Our Homestead.
By PHOEBE CARY.

~ AAOnDG CAn4s
Our old brown homestead reared it's walls
From the wayside aloof,
Where the apple boughs could almost cast
Their fruitage on the roof;
ana the cherry tree SO near it grew,
Then when awake I've lain
In me lonesome nights and heard the limbs
AS they creaked against the pane;
ana tnose orchard trees; oh, those orchard
I've seen my little brothe: rocked
In their tops by the summer breeze.
The sweetbrier upon the window sill,
Which the early birds made glad,
And the dark damask- -reie by the garden fence
Were all the flowers we had.
I've looked at many a flower since then,
Far brought and rich and rare,
TO other eyes more beautiful,
But none to me SO fair;
For those roses brighton, those roses bright
I've twined them with my sisters locks,
That are laid in the dust from sight.
We had a well, deep old well,
Where the spring was never dry;
And the cool drops down from the mossy
stones
We're falling constantly;
And there never was water half so sweet
AS that in my little cup,
Drawn up the curb by the rude old sweep
Which my fathers hand set up;
And the deep old well-oh, that deep old well!
remember yet the splashing sound
Of the bucket as it fell.
Our homestead had an ample hearth,
Where at night we loved to meet;
There our mothers voice was always kind,
And her smile was always sweet;
And there I've sat on my fathers knee
And watched his truthful brow,
With my childish hands in his raven hair
That hair is silver now!
But that broad hearth's light-oh, that broad
hearth's light!
And my fathers look and my mothers smile,
They are in my heart tonight.

the yalueless boxes, which she had stated
held treasures unspeakable, were really
there. His eager hand was already
clutching one of them when the door be-
hind him suddenly closed with a bang.
The next moment a heavy bolt slipped
into its socket on the other side. and he
was prisoner.

exclaimed his jaller. as she finished lock-

Indeed it was so. He was Gagged. i'm
prisoned-outwitted by woman, and his
cunning overmatched. He flew to the
entrance Of his strange cell, and dashed
the empty box furiously against that i'm

to rain blows, fast and heavy, upon the
timbers

countess in tone of firm determination.

crash of some heavy body against the
stout panels of the door. The william had
found table, and was now desperately
trying to burst his way out with that in

la0y's hand. The bullet splintered the
oiled panels as it plowed its way through
the wood, and the next instant growl,
either of rage or pain, announced that her
mandate would be needed.

NEW YORK POLITICS.
MIR. Tilden's Contest With the Tammany
Faction.
Especial to the 81. Louis Republican,

Especial to the St. Louis Republican,
NEW YORK, March 30.-Mayor Cooper has
ended his mysterious reserve about the re-
moval OF the police commissioners, which Is TO
be the next move fn the TiIden campaign to
capture the city government, by stating that
he had nearly finished his statement of rea-
sons for making the removal, and would for
ward them Ia a day or tive to Gov. Robinson.
The police commissioners counsel evidently
intend to make a political scandal OF the mat
ter il they can. They declare they will prove
before the Governor that the whole thing Is a
political conspiracy, and their argument is
not unlikely to be an open attack on the Til
den men. But as In all these other cases,
Tilden has the advantage In the fact that
there is abundant good ground for removing
these men, and even Iamnany men admit
that the Governor will undoubtedly approve
the mayors action promptly. A Tam
many sacnern, friendly to John Kelly. says
cratic State Committee. Last fall he was in
slight minority; now he has two majority.
This gives him control OF the new State con-
ventipn, probably OF the organization there
after, and perhaps of the presidential deIega-
ton next year This same Tammany man,
however, thought it doubtful whether Tiiden
would gain control OF the Tam many society
this spring-in fact, Was inclined to think he
would not. A careful canvass had been made,
and Kelly had pledges Of 200 members. This
was sufficient to fortify him, If the pledges
could be depended On. A meeting will be held
at Tamnany Hall on Thursday night, it Is
announced, to pass resolutions designed to
damage TiIden's candidacy, which are to be
extensively circulated. Iamman ID badly
scared, as it has reasons to be.

scone I'm d Dakota Revival Meeting.


Not far from the Missouri river there is a
revival IN progress, and the other evening a
very amusing incident occurred that ID too
sl,s,t. 20 keep out OF print. After the service
on the evening we mention an invitation was
given TO all those who wished to Soin the
church on probation. A large number signi-
fed o willingness to become members. and
among those who placed themselves Id line
for the audience to congratulate by hand
shaking was a woman who has case In the
Union county court, asking for divorce.
The audience was singing some familiar
hymn, during which time those who wished
advanced and shock hands with the proba-
tionists. Among the number thai took part
In the eengratuIatory part was the husband
of the lady suing for divorce He shook
hands with each until he came TO his wife,
who was standing with her head hung back
at an angle OF forty-one degrees, and took her
by the hand. She seemed to know the touch,
for with sudden jerk she loosened her hand
He looked surprised and dunnbfounded. A
Iarge-sized smile spread over every mouth in
the room. The conclusion we can draw To the
matter Is that ii takes considerable religion
In a woman to drown her desire to get di-
voree when she once makes up her mind te
get one.

How tn Repei Capital.
[T4afaEatta Alvartiser.l


The New Orleans Ficayufee, under the head
ing Of "How to Repel Capital devotes a half
column OF space TO prove ia substance that a
careful scrutiny and q REIMBURSEMENT OF the
present State debt will be a fatal blow to
credit, both public and private, and will con
sequently wholly prevent the investment OF
foreign capital IN Louisiana
Let a. see. The state debt has not yet, ae-
cording to a decision OF the Supreme Court,
reached the constitutional limit; but It ap-
pears there are more than enough OF fundabIe
obligations outstanding to make up the debt
of $4,000, 600. For the past five years, with
the interest tax Of five and half mills and
with the debt greatly less than the constitu-
tlonal limit, the collections have fallen far
short of meeting the interest coupons.
Which Is the most fatal to public and pri-
vate credit, the senai-annuaI commission OF
an act OF bankruptcy by the State, or a read
iEstment OF the whole debt and bringing it
down to a sum within the ability OF the State
to pay
Does the Pienysaae, In behalf of the inter-
ests 1t represents, propose an increase OF the
interest tax? Let the Pieayuyse and those for
whom 1t speaks understand distinctly that
the taxpaFing people will not for one instant
submit to that course
In this matter there Is no place for sentt-
nent, or display OF legal learning, or sophis-
try. The question Is practical one and pre-
lana In her present condition and Ia view OF
her future prospects pay ! per cent interest
on bonded debt OF S15,000,0e0 and at the
same time meet her obligations to other
legitimate creditors2
Can she afford to pay per cent for the use
CT money, when other States and the DnLted
States government obtain it for per cent?
