The Quincy Wing has found "model
woman and model wife" 1t says: AN
Indiana man, who is an applicant for di-
vorce. alleges, among other things, that
his wife, although we'll knowing him to
be = Democrat, refused to let him read
Democratic papers in his house. The
Wing does not think much of the female
suffrage business, but we are of the opin-
ion that an exception might be Judicious-
" made in favor OF that Indiana wife"

The fool killer IS needed badly at and
about the Kansas City union depot.
Every two or three days the papers an
nounce a victim to the government
bond game" As often as that swindle
has been exposed in the papers it does
seem strange that any one of even ordin-
airy intelligence, would be caught by it.
There are many people, who. when they
have little money, seem to be possessed
OF desire to get rid Of it as quick as
possible, and are ready to be ''taken in"
by any thing that offers.

The only tenable objection 10 Messrs.
Stephen Dillaye and j. ID. Chambers, the
national standard bearers of the Union
Greenback Labor party for 1880, seems
TO bethe fact that they are unknown to
fame. But as death loves shining
mark, the very obscurity of the ticket
may prove its most suspicious feature.

THE SACRED FIRE OF THE pUEBLos.

From Santa Fe IN. II letter to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
The Pueblos claim that their Monte
yuma was born through the immaculate
conception of an Indian maiden of their
own tribe in the village of Pecos, about
thirty-five miles distant from this city
While youth he did not exhibit any ex-
traordinary qualities, but upon reaching
manhood's estate showed himself to be
great hunter and possessed of super
natural powers. After dwelling with
the tribe for long period
and performing many mirac-
ulous deeds he departed, going south
ward On the eve of his journey he is
reported to have lighted a sacred fire,
which he told his people to keep burning
until his return. Although this was
long centuries ago, it is said that the In
dians have scrupulously obeyed the in
junction and have never allowed the fire
to die out. They have continuously,
through successive generations, kept the
slumbering embers aglOw. At least this
is their story, and it is largely believed,
especially by those who have seen the
fire glimmering in their old adobe tenn
pie
In 1891 the Pueblo, or town. OF Pecos
was sold. Il was on Spanish grant,
and at that period the Indians removed
the sacred IRE with great care to Taos,
where il Is still burning and viewed with

IL Is with deep sorrow that we learn
from the Elmira IN. " Bulletin THAT
the storm is coming;" that 1.-THE revolu-
ton Qhat blessed world has begun; that
the Greenback movement is sweeping
on and that the puny hand of the Re
publican party or the palsied arm of the
Democracy cannot Withstand it," We
hope the walking will bc good when all
these things overtake us.

struck his normal gauge and has bios

poria, Saturday, April Sd, at pm.


THE School FUSD-The state and
county school funds are now being APP
portioned to the several districts of the
county The state fund amounts to
twenty-five hundred and fifty-four dol
lars, or fifty cents TO the pupil. This is
six hundred and forty-six dollars less
than was received last year, and makes
twenty-th three cents less per pupil. This
reduction is ON account of the failure to
collect the one mill tax. The county
fund amounts to four hundred and sixty
five dollars and forty-eight cents, OF
about nine cents per pupil, being nearly
double the amount received in any
former year.
Perhaps some of the justices of EN-
po=ia, could explain why the county
fund is SO much larger than formerly.

WILD OATS.

I've sow'd my wild oats long ago,
And now am growing tame onesi
But find they come up very slow,
And not at all tn; same ones.
The wild ones sprouled thick and fast
The tame are slack in growing;
'Tis evident their strength is past,
They're hardly worth the sowing
Wild flowers beautiiy the spring,
And no one calls them vicious;
Wild zephyrs dance, and wild birds sing,
And make the time delicious.
Youth in the springIime of our years
(When grown beyond the child ones),
And nature wills its hopes and fears
And oats-must all be wild ones.
Wild flowers lose their freshest charm
When brought to cultivation;
Wild oats are wicked things 10 farm,
In some folks estimation
Yet both were wild when earth was young,
Till people caught and tanned them;
The flowers poets praised and sung;
The oats-they never named them
Youths life is coming, while to age
lis gone, or quickly going;
Old Time seems very dull and sage
To youth SO gay and knowing.
But while we, with the world, grow old,
Our Incidence increases
Our love Of wild things wakes cold,
And, save of wild ducks, ceases
When youth has sown its widest rat,
And widest hope has buried,
As dead as any shade in boat,
BY ancient Chearon ferried;
Though hope may be forever flown,
Fleet time is never stopping,
And shows the grain that youth has sown
Is ready for the cropping.
Youth casts abroad the seed, and deems
1t makes existence "jolly,"
But in the aftertime il seems
Unutterable folly.
For life's experience will show
When age is on us creeping,
Wild oats were costly things to sow,
And valueless in reaping.

HOW THE KNIGHT AND HIS YOUNG BRIDE
DEPARTED.

DEPARTED.
WHEN Huldbrand awoke from sleep the
next morning, he missed his fair compan-
ion; and again he was tormented with
doubt, whether his marriage, and the lovely
Undine, might not be all fairy dream.
But she'soon reappeared, came up to him
and said, al have been out early, to see if
my uncle had kept his word. He has recall
led all the straying waters into his quiet bed,
and now takes his lonely and pensive course
through the forest as he used to do. His
friends in the lake and the air are gone to rest
also; all things have returned to their usual
calmness; and you may set out homeward
on dry land, as soon as you please" Euld-
brand felt as if dreaming still, so little could
he understand his wife's wonderful relations.
But he took no notice of this, and his
sweet Undine's gentle attentions soon charm
ed every uneasy thought away.
