A PRIMITIVE NATIoN.-The new
Mexican interoceanic railway across
the Tehuantepec Isthmus is marked
out to pass through the State OF Chi
apas, which probably contains the
only population in the world which
possesses no iron, nor anything in the
shape of an iron industry even Of the
crudest form. For the distance Of
eighty miles around Palenque, the
capital, not single blacksmith can
be found, and the only articles in the
shape OF iron are axes and machetas,
imported from the United States.
Nails are unknown, all the woodwork
being held together by the cords CT
tendrils of the vines, and even the
tortilly is prepared by grinding the
maize between stones. The new rail
way, which will run through this ter
ritory, has clearly well defined edu
cational as well as a commercial DO

An affecting and novel incident was
presented in connection with the re.

lnnk stockholders, Ex.Gov. p. II.
Burnett, for so many years president
Of the bank, arose in the course Of the
meeting, announced that on account Of
his failing health, he would not he a
candidate for reelection. lie further
stated that indisposition had so inter.
fered with the regular discharge OF
his duties as president Of the bank
that he had been unable TO give more
than half his time 10 his regular rou-
tine work during banking hours. He
considered, therefore. that only half
his regular yearly salary was due him,
and asked that one-half Of the salary
be paid him, the balance to be placed
as the directors and other officers Of
the bank might see fit. Mr.. Burnett's
wishes were overrubed by his fellow
officers, who held that his services
given were well worth the full salary.
A check was therefore drawn for the
full amount and left on the presidents
desk. When he opened the envelope
he rose and went to the teller and
drew the full amount. He then walk
ed over to the cashiers desk and
placed one half Of the sum before that
officer, requesting that it be be placed
to the credit of the "proft and loss
account" Ga leaving the bank he
shook hands with each of the EN-
ployees. but was too affected to say
good bye. 4 San Francisco Chronicle.

The Man Who Smoked.

There was Kansas City Journal re-
porter on the train that carried Grant
from Galena, and one Of his first exploits
was to sail through the cars getting a
list of the people aboard. One Of the
persons he struck was short, thick-set
man with beard, who sat gazing pen
sively out of the window, with cigar
in his mouth.
"Are you one of the invited guests ?"
asked the reporter, tapping the man on
the shoulder.
The man said he was, and kept on
smoking.
From st. Joe or Leavenworth ?"
asked the reporter, notebook and pencil
in hand.

king.
"I'll have to trouble you for your
name" persisted the reporter.
"Grant," said the man, still smoking.
Initials, please" asked the reporter.
ULYSSES S. Grant" replied the man
quietly.
"Oh." family calculated the reporter.
And a strange light came in his eyes.
And he moved on.

PITTSBURGH, July 22-S. c. Peters,A.
w. Davis and II. Marks, proprietors, to-
gtther with fifty others, attaches of
Boyn & Peters circus, have been arrest
ed charged with abducting Miss Salome
Burkett from her home in Somerset
county. A preliminary examination of
the principals was held yesterday at
Greedsburgh, Pa, after which the pris-
oners were remanded to the custody of
the sheriff for further hearing in open
court. July 9Oth. Miss Burkett, the alb
Quoted and outraged victim, who is but
fourteen years of age, after being sworn,
states that she was at Boyd and Peters
show on Tuesday of last week in the af-
ternoon. In the evening as l was pass
ing the church building 1 met a show
man. He asked me to go back to the
show. l said did not want to go. He
took me by the arm and pulled me in
to the big tent, and l stayed for the con-
cert, and after that was over 1 was 60
ing out with Scovil's family, but was
stopped by a Snowman and became separ-
ated from them. Afterward / was taken

and threatened that if l made noise or

knife. Her statements as to what oc-
CURED are unfit for publication. There
was dozen or more showmen there.
After this l was put in the ticken wag-
on and taken to Jenners X roads. The
man that sold tickets was there, he had
a black moustache, and others came into
the wagon. When 1 was taken out of
the wagon at Jenners X roads, went
up town and tried to get away from
them, but couldn't get a place to stay,
no one would let me. 1 started to go
home, but when I got a short distance
five showmen got me, and pulled me in
to the woods. l tried to escape from
them but they headed me off. don't

were with me the night before. From
that time don't rememcer anything un-
til at Somerset ON Monday night.
Much of Miss Burket's testimony is
excluded, it being unfit for publication.
A number of the men shed tears while
her sad story was related. Miss Bur
ket, after the judge had fixed July so for
another hearing. was placed face to face
with the criminals, and asked: Were
these men there? She said she recog-
nized three of them. The excitement at
Somerset and Greensburgh is intense.
The father, Mr.. Burket, being without
funds, subscriptions have been raised so
that he would not be delayed in bring
ing the guilty parties to justice. Hon.
A. II. COffroth has volunteered his ser

found last Monday night at u o'clock on
Laurel Hill Lane. She is partially de-
mented.

Tribute to General Garfield.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
CHICAGO, July 2O-The Evening Jour
nal publishes the following special,
which it says is from an old Chicago bu-
siness man who is off on trip of recre-
alton:
CLEVELAND, O., July 2O-I have just
returned here from Mentor, in Lake
county, the home of Gen. James A. Gar
field. left Chicago over week ago
for slow and quiet trip eastward, and
left the train here last Friday morning
to go over to Mentor t. see Garfield, and
to see and near what his townsmen
think of him. l went out to Garfield s
farm on Saturday, saw the General in
his own house, and had good talk with
him. He is plain, honest man. nev-
er met public man who was more so.
There is no 'put-on' about him, no airy
ness, no nonsense whatever. AS man
of the world, as an old Chicago man, l
would risk my head on Garfield's man
hood, honesty and real greatness. The
people will make no mistage by elect
ing him President. He is as simple of
heart and as great of mind as was Abra-
Iidlu IlHCOlu. UelloNo Ho WOuiu Uo d
second Lincoln. Gen. Garfield lives
quietly and plainly. There is nothing
affected or aristocratic about him or
about his manner of life. Everything
is plain and in good taste about his
home and his farm. Everybody in his
employ fairly worships him, and the peo-
pie in this village and all the country
around about are very warm in their
admiration and praise of him. He has
not single enemy in lake county, and
it looks as if every voter in the county
would vote for him. wish every read
er of your journal, and every citizen of
the United States, could know General
Garfield as he is. They would glory in
electing him President, knowing that he
is not only truly honest man, but tru-
ly great and good man."

Now | Lay Me Down to Sleep.

Snow / lay me down to Sleep"
And the blue eyes, dark and deep,
Let their snowy curtains down,
Edged with fringes golden brown.
"Ali day long the angels fair,
I've been watching over there;
Heavens not far, it's just in sight,
Now they're calling me, good night.
Kiss me, mother, do not weep,
Now l lay me down TO sleep.
Over there-just over there,
l shall say my morning prayer;
Kiss me, mother, do not weep,
Now l lay me down to sleep"
Tangled ringlets all smooth now,
Looped back from the waxen brow,
Little hands so dimpled, white,
Clasped together, cold tonight,
Where the mossy, daisied sod,
Brought sweet messages from God.
Two pale lips with kisses pressed,
There we left her to her rest,
And the dews of evening weep
Where we laid her down to sleep.
Over there-just over there,
List the angels morning prayer;
Lisping low through fancy creep,
"Now I lay me down to sleep"

The World as | Find 1t.

They say the worlds a weary place,
Where tears are Eevcr dried,
Where pleasures pass like breath on glass,
And only woes abide.
1t may be SOL cannot know
Yet this / dare not say,
Ny lot has had more glad than sad,
And so it has to-day.
They say that loves cruel jest;
They tell of women's wiles-
That poison dips in pouting lips,
And death in dimpled smiles.
1t may be SOL cannot know
Yet sure of this | am,
One heart is found above the ground
Whose love is not sham.
They say that life's a bitter curse
That hearts are made to ache,
That Jest and song are gravely wrong,
And health vast mistake;
1t may be SOL cannot know
But let them talk their fill;
| like my life and love my wife,
And mean TO do so still.
Good Words.

POTTERY.
Don't Let Mother Do 1t.

Daughter, don't let mother do it!
Do not let her slave and toll,
While YOU sit, useless idler,
Fearing your soft hands to SOIL
Don't you see the heavy burdens
Daily she is wont to bear,
Bring the lines upon her forehead
Sprinkle silver in her hair!
Daughter, don't let mother do IT,
Do not let her bake and broil
Through the long, bright summer hours;
Share with her the heavy toll;
See, the eve has lost its brightness,
Faded from her cheeks the glow.
And the step that once was buoyant
Now is feeble, weak and slow.
Daughter, don't let mother do it,
She has cared for you so long;
Is it right the weak and feeble
Should be T. ling for the strong?
Waken from the listless languor,
Seek her side to cheer and bless;
And your grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughter, don't let mother do it.
You will never, never know
What were home without mother
Till that mother lieth low
Low beneath the budding daisies.
Free from earthly care or pain
To the home so sad without her,
Never TO return again.

Plain Talk from a Democrat.

Judge R. P Ranney, the most eminent
lawyer in Ohio, and, next to Payne, the
most prominent Democrat in Northern
Ohio, says:
"The Democrats never have an Oppor-
tunity to do good thing but they make
the mistake of doing the wrong thing.
1t would seem that the nomination by
that party of an essential West-Pointer,
with all the instincts of that institution,
and simply a love for the army as an
army-a man whose education from in
fancy has been such as to lead him to
believe in a military despotism-was, to
say the least, an anomaly, and contrary
to the precedents of the party. At this
particular time, any party which must
carry the load of West Point-and West
Point in the days when it was dominated
by JEFF. Davis and the South-has large
| load. Gen. Hancock has no record as a
statesman; has no knowledge of politics
or politicians; and in case of election,
his Administration would be that of a
military man. Do the Democracy, who
have had so much to say of late in re-
gard to bayOnet rule, desire such Pres
ident? 1t is safe to say that they de-
sire any kind of a President they can
elect. They will concede anything for
the hope of victory. But like the case
of Horace Greeley. they generally con-
cede too much. They become incon-
sistent, and show that their only desire
is office. The great giant known as the
American people desire consistency or a
show of consistency, and rebukes every
barefaced attempt to gain office at the
expense of principle.
