One summer evening, hnEhed and sweet,
AdoEn the darby gloomy street,
Beneath the dense o'erArehing shade
OfleAfy branch aud bough, there strAyed
With faltering steps, and dropping head,
And heavy eyelids, one who said
'Oh weary heart, weighed down with grief
Earth can afford thee no relief;
We've lived our life out, thou and L
There's nothing left us but to die;
The rolliog river swift doth run;
Thy restless tbrobs shall sOon be done
He raised his eyes, and far on high,
Brightly defined against the sky,
Cleaning with lustrous silver light
Above the darkness Of the night,
He saw a cross-the new moons raw
Touched it with tender radiance, while
Wrapped In deepest shadows lay
The gray cathedrAl's stately pile.
Forth from those burning eyelids welled
Warm, sudden tears, like GUNNER rain;
Up toward the cross his hands he held,
'oh, heart, he cned. thy bitter pain,
Thy cruel struggles, haunting loss,
Shall lead thee upward TO the cross,
Up where beyond the darkness here
Its heavenly promise shiueth clear,
The rolling river swift doth run,
Thy noble life is Just begun

The Suez canal, which cost almost

million tons only, and subjected to de.
msnds which the I%nteroceanic canal will
not have to undergo, is proposing q d.

eight francs for actual tonnage, o tariff

canal is a prosperous enterprise. Its
stock, which was issued at 800 francs.
is now quoted at $50 francs, end its
bonds, payable at only 500 francs, are
sold for $40 francs.

Mustangs in Texas Thirty Years Ago.

The word mustang is a corruption of
mesteno, the Mexican name for a wild
horse, Many years ago there we're thou
sands, no doubt millions, OF those ami
mails in Texas. IN 1849, and for several
years thereafter, they were numerous in
the region between tho Nueces river and
the Rio Grande. They were found
further north, but not in such numbers,
Immense herds of wild horses could be
seen grazing On the prairies. When
they saw any n approaching, the
leader would often move to the front
and make a recOnnois sance. If things
did not suit him be would give his head
a peculiar toss, wheel, and sound the
note of alarm. Those demon t~raiiops
would be followed by prompt movement
on the part of the herd, sometimes to
the front, but more usually to the rear.
They would wheel into line, change
front, move in line, or in column, with
as much precision and order as cavalry.
It was wonderful to witness how we'll
they were drilled and disciplined. In
the event a retreat was ordered, the
leader would move in the rear for a
while. If any Jagged or struggled they
were very apt to feel his teeth, if not his
heels. On some occasions q movement
to the front was ordered. 1t wRs q
change in line, or in column, proudly
headed by the leader. This was the
case sometimes when mounted men we're
in sight. The Texas Rangers operating
in that country were followed by pack
mules in charge of a guard. II was
necessary at times to form o hollow
square, place tho mules inside, and to
throw out skirmishers to fire into the
animals. II the leader could be struck
the charge would be broken. The horses
would retire at once. Tho mustangs
we're hunted by Mexicans, and fine
looking ones singled out and lassoed.-
Whole herds were driven at q run into
pens having extended wings, which SON
tracted as they approached the gate. AS
many as 300 mustangs have been penned
at one run They were sold ut almost
nothing, So being q high price for q
choice horse. These %mustangers were a
wild set, often no better than Indians:
oil them were honest, good men.
They were guilty Of many murders and
robberies. The Comanches made many
visits to that region. They would
pounce upon the mustangers, set them
or kill them, as caprice dictated.
The Comanches wanted the mustangs to

For the LAdIe..

TUT the Lhulets
Rhine pebbles mounted in silver, ant
as brilliant as diamonds, are used for III
ornamental darts, arrows, and dagger
that ere now thrust through the loop
and braids Of elaborate coifiures.
Fall fraises Of lace are worn high anC
close around the throat. The lace il
put in treble box plaits, and there Is 9
long pointed bow of muslin and lace
added TO this TO fall low on the corsage.
Embroidered satins are imported by
the yard to combine with plain satin de
Lyon or silk. These ere hotin the large
branching designs formerly shown fol
vests and tabliers, but in small compact
figures Of palm leaves, diamonds, OF
squares.
There are q few lovely old ladies to
whom soft gray curls worn on the tenn
pies and close TO the face are becoming,
but it is to be hoped that the fashion OF
arranging the hair in that way will not
be generally introduced, but it is said
that it will.
One OF the most beautiful dresses OF
the season is a black faille with basque
and train, on which are facings Of pale
salmon-colored silk, while down the
front Of the basque and skirt are exqui.
sitely wrought foliage and daisies in
natural tints.
A novelty is the rose necklace, made
OF artificial roses Of various shades,
from maroon to pink. The largest roses
used are not larger than a silver dollar,
and these are placed N the middle for
the front and they gradually become
smaller toward the back, where the
necklace is tied with pale blue satin
ribbon. Rosebuds not blown are pend.
ent from the lower edge of the necklace.
This ornament is sometimes used for q
wreath also.
Social etiquette requires that when
upon the guest of a stranger the
hostess should be inquired for at the
door, and a card should be sent up to
both ladies. 1t is considerate on the
part of the hostess not TO descend in
this interval between the en-.
trance of the two affording the visitor
and his friend time to interchange in
quiries for mutual acquaintances, who
are doubtless of no interest to the host
ess. If she does not descend at all, her
guest is likely to suspect that no inter.
is felt by her entertainer in her

In the fancy that prevails for colored
costumes, remarks Harper's Bosar, |
black short suits are by no means aban-
Toned, but the love of color cCmpels
hem to be frightened by combining
hem with tapestries, or with satin de
Lyon, or brocade. Perhaps the most
visiting toilettes of the winter
ire still black, but they are no longer of
me fabric only. If brocade all black is
lsed, it forms the coat. shaped basque

'ears as narrow side cores, while the
ront and back draperies are of plain
allie, or else satin de Lyon; but even

jacob Vignier, who died recently in
Geneva, was the last scion OF n OF the
Oldest houses in Europe. Fourteen
generations Of Vigniers have followed
the calling Of notary in that city. For
over four hundred years the business

once since the middle Of the fifteenth
century, until the death OF ito late chief,
has a descendant in the direct line been

According to recent advices from Cali
fornia the Chinese problem seems to be
solving itself. 1t is estimated that there
are 62, 900 Chinese on the Pacific coast,
which is 9S, 900 less than the number a
few years ago, when the agitation
against cheap labor was begun. They
are said to be going home by thousands,
and it is likely a few years will see
enough OF them gone to rob Chinese
competition Of its formidable aspects.

An Ex-senator Becomes a Convict.

A Denver pepper sketches the career
OF a man now in prison OF Leadville, un-
der the assumed name of Colonel st.
Julian Clairmont, who at one time rep
resented an Eastern state in the United
States Senate. During the first rush to
Leadville he succeeded in raising S15,
600 at San Francisco to organize a
prospecting expedition. While on his
way to Leadville he was induce to visit
a drinking saloon and gambling house,
where a quarrel and fight occurred with
the landlord, and the latter was killed.
Clairmont and his friend we're captured,
but bribed their way out of prison by
sacrificing $40. 900 OF the capital. The
balance WAS stolen by the friend, and
the colonel abandoned in a penniless
condition. He became q common vagrant
and ~drunkard, and is now one OF the Jail
birds hired out to saw wood for the city
contractor. His real name is not dis
closed, in the hope that he may reform,
and in another state take his old, re.
spected place in society.

Yermip on Rtoek.

Unless the stock is kept in good con.
dition and clearly, vermin are far more
liable to accumulate in winter than in
summer. This is not only the case in
reference to hen lice, which swarm in
dirty hen .%roosts, and by their attacks
on birds and quadrupeds worry their
victims ont OF all growth and improve
ment; but certain other acari attacking
the legs Of horses, cattle, and sheep,
often suspend active operations, ascend
upon the hairs and give rise to irrita-
ton during the warm season; and it is
only on the return Of winter that they
return to the skin and produce their
characteristic form of mango. The
closer and flthier the barn, the more
troublesome will be these pests; while
cleanliness and q wash with a weak
solution of tobacco will usually put a
period to their ravages. So it is with
lice and ringworm, which increase in
proportion to the closeness and unclean-
liHess of the buildings and poor condi-
ton of the animals. Animals with the
least vitality usually harbor the greatest
number of parasites, which speedily
undermine what remaining vigor of
constitution is left.

Just the Man He Wanted.

Our correspondent at Derry sends thu
following; Michael Kelley, or Mike
Kelley as he was usually called, was al
eccentric old farmer living in one OF oul
suburban towns. Born of poor parents,
by industry and perseverance he haG
become possessed of one OF the fnest
farms in that section, OF which he wal
Justly proud; but no prouder was he
than Of his own physical strength and
agility, that had assisted him in accu.
mulRting his property, and made him
a most excellent boxer and wrestler, and
he had a corresponding contempt fol-
men Of inferior powers.
One spring when help war unusually
plenty, he determined to have the
farm run that year by a strong team.
So when a man presented himself and
asked for work, after inquiriDg OF the
man as to his habits, etc., he would
finish up by asking him to fight. In
this way he disposed Of quite a number
of applicants, and was beginning to
despair OF his strong team when one
morning as he was standing in the barn
door, a young mar came up the road,
and seeing him, called out:
Good morning, sir
Good morning. grufly.

'Can you fight, 1 say; can you lick
me-
Il don't know, sir, whether / can or
not; but 1 can try
And he did try. The first thing
Kelley knew he was on his back on the
floor, with two teeth down his throat; the
next, the man was astride his stomach,
with a fist in each eye, and his nose was
bleeding. Then he let him up, and was
just picking up his bundle TO start OIL,
when he was called back and set TO work,
and he proved to be as trusty and
industrious as he was brave. The
farmers daughter needed just such q
man for a husband, and now he may be
seen any day experimenting the work
