TIE YOUNG WIDOW.


She is modest, but not bashfui,
Free and easy, bat not bold,
Like au apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young aud not too old.
Half inviting. half repuIsing,
Now advancing, and now shy
ihere Is mischief in her dimple-
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is schooletl in ali her arts,
She has taken her diploma
AS the Mistress of all Hearts,
She can tell tho very moment
When to sigh and when to smilo-
O.s maid is often charming,
But widow all the while.
Are you sadf How very serious
viii hor smiling face become.
Are you angry? She is wretched,
Dropping, signing, fearful, dumb.
Are YOU mirthful? How her laughter,
siiVer-sounding, will ring OUT
she can lure, and catch, and plsy you,
AS the angler docs the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty.
Who have grown so bald and wise
Young Americans of twenty!
with tho love locks in your eyes--
You may practice all the Lessons
Taught by Cupid since tho fall,
But know little widow
Who can win and fool you ALI

THRILLING EXPERIENCE WITH BARN
MIcE.-A Rockford (ConD.) gentleman
went to his barn the other evening to feed
his cows. AS he lifted the cover off his
meal bin, he noticed several mice inside.
Thinking to be rid Of the mice and give his
cat good meal, he put down his lantern and
went for the cat. She, not Immediately
taking in the situation, bounded out, hit the
lantern, and knocked it upon the floor. The
lamp fell from the glass, and in less time
than it takes to tell it, the oil was on FIRE and
running over the barn floor The gentleman
tried to stamp the FIRE out. but it wouldn't 90
out, SO be managed with his feet and hands
to keep it from spreading. The bin was bus
little way from the hay now, and If he
should go for help the hay would certainly
take fire. In this emergency he. happily
thought of the smothering process, aud. tax.
ing off his coat, threw it upon the ERE. and
BY dint of hard work succeeded in putting
1t out. His coat was ruined, and his hands
and arms were considerable y burned. bat
large barn, full of stock, was saved. Tho
moral Of all of which is: Be careful with Ian.

LeRdViIIe Litigation.

Denver, Col, 2O.-The entire contro-
versy between the Iron Silver Mining
Company, of Leadville, and the owners
of claim on Iron Hill, was settled to-
day by Judgment IN favor sf the Iron
Company. and by q compromise. In
the case Of the Iron Mine against the
Tucson, judgment was entered in the
United States court In favor of the Iron.
In the case of the Iron Mine against the
Luella, which is now pending in the
United Ssates Supreme Court, o stfpula-
ton was made, on confession of error,
which will likely mske the decision Of
that court in favor Of the Iron Mine. IN
addition, the owners Of the Lueila and
Tucson mines have made conveyances o.
their entire claim 20 the Iron Company
These decisions and compromises throw
| open to the Iron Mine the entire b dy o
ore on Iron Hill, and remove sll hind
rance to the progress OF their develop
nents en- what is admitted to be tn
most extensive body Of ore in Lesdvill

Queer Question.

Chicago, -TTi6me's Cincinnati:
Gov Wi liams' death causes a new
senatorial complexion in Indiana. 1t
threatens TO leave the state without head
and prevent the election of United
Slater senator. The law requires that be-
fore either the governor or lieutensI
governor can take seats, the two houses
must be orgenlzad. The Senate is tie.
While Gray was lieutenant governor he
had the casting vote, as he had two years
ago, but the death OF Williams leaves the
tie to be broken by detection from one
side or the other. Democrats baye de-
termined heretofore to organize the
Senate and vii. cling to their determine
ton If each side stands firm, the Senate
can't organize and without it neither the
governor nor lieutenant governor can
| take seats, and at the same time the Con-
stitution terminates the office of the
acting governor on the second Monday
of January. II the two sides OF the
Senate lock horns and remain in that
altitude the state can be kept iDdefir itsly
without = governor. A Unit. d States
senator is to be elected 10 succeed Senator
Mcdonald. II none is elected, it is
claimed if the time goes by, democrats
say no legal election can be made by the
present legislature, and the next one they
hope to make democratic.

GREAT GOULD.
What il He up 30 Now?

Chicago, -TTi6une'S New York: A
broker ssys n heavy rise in stocks re-
suits from the efforts of nearly every
heavy operator. Gould is buying be-
cause he recognizes the fact that be will
be able to get higher prices this week.
He did not originally, however, sntici-
pate any such rise as the present, beng q
bear, and he will shortly squeeze the
market by calling in his large outstand-
ing loans. He, however, is a strong bull
on the prosperity of the country. Few
people appreciate the work going on in
the southwest. He will very soon
have a round 500 100000 Of bones
on roads he is extending and going
to build in that region. He will
secure connections with Atlantic roads.
1t is thought that is generally attended
to already, and when those who want 6
per cent. for their money have faith
enough in the prosperity of .he country
and Gould to trust it to him, he will 90
on and surprise the world by the extent
Of his schemes. This is where his time
and money ard energy are directed and
he is DESTROYS OF seeing low prices for
stocks that money may be left free 10
flow into the channels he has dug for it.
l think tomorrow will show how real
this "bull" movement is. If it really is
nothing more than manipulstive move
ment, there will be rush Of more timid
oulls to UNLOAD. If there is a sufficient
number Of outside orders then we shall
sustain rates; otherwise there will be 6
decline.
Vanderbilt said, yesterday, of the re-
ported alliance opposed to Gould, Of the
New York Central system, and Atchisor
road, there is not single word Of truth
| in it; not q word.

Convention BOARD Bills.

Washington, q. The attention Of
Secretary Sherman was called to-day to
the stories that have been published
yesterday regarding the expenses OF his
delegation at Chicago, to the effect that
they had been paid BY Governor Foster.
He said he thought best to make no state
ment on the subject, not wishing t. be
drawn into such controversy He said
however, that thers were gentlemen IN
Ohio fully acquainted with AL the facts,
but for OBJ ious reasons he did not wish
to say anything himself A friend ofth
secretary, however. says that he met
literally every demand made upon him,
and that, if there were unpaid bills al
Chicago, conns cted with the Ohio dele
CATION, the secretary knew nothing Of it.
Amorg republicans here generally there
is disgust that such controversy should
have arisen, as has been precipitated II
Ohio, about boa=d and lunch bill at Chi
cago. II is regarded as very small bust
ness st best. Il is noticed thNt dIspatchsj
from Columbus about it are very favor
able to Foster. It is III ught here By
some that the whole dissgreesble bushes
mas been sprung just now for the purpos'
oftrying to injure Shermsn's chances fsl
the Senate. To what extent GoveTno
Foster is responsibe for injecting sucl
mstter in the campaign is not known.
