HOW THE FARMER MISSED II.

If had told her in the spring
The old, old story b lefty,
When the sparrow and the robin began TO
sing.
And the plOwing was over chiefyl
But haste makes waste and the story sweet
reasoned, will keep through the sowing,
Till drop the corn and plant the wheat,
And give them chance for growing.
Had even told the tale in June
When the wind through the grass was
blowing,
Instead Of thinking it rather too soon,
And waiting till after the moving
Or had hinted, out under the stars,
That knew story worth hearing,
Lingering to put up tine pasture bars,
Nor waited to do the shearng
Now The barn is full, and so is the bin,
But I've grown wise without glory,
Since love is the crop not gathered in,
For my neighbor told her the story.

PRACTICE WHAT You PREACH.

Advice is cheap, the markets full,
Der ready some 10 teach,
While Ger the eyes the wool they pull,
Nor practice what they preach.
The monstrous "beam" is never seen,
The "mote" provokes their screech,
The while seductive vice they screen,
Nor practice hat they preach.

Fair Justices height 10 reach,
Where others slip, you firmly stand,
And practice what you preach.

FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD!
The Monroe Doctrine and the
Canal Project. .
A Romantic Duel Between Two
Virginians.
Munificence Of Baroness Bur-
dett COutts.


CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE Tribune in a long
editorial reviewing the Monroe doctrine and
its application to the inter-oceanic canal
scheme concludes that there is no cause for
alarm about the French interest in the pro-
iect that American capital is quite likely to
take the bulk of the stock and control the
canal, and that in any event it is impolitic
and undesirable to take an ultra view Of the
doctrine. 1t concludes: 1t seems premature
and i'll advised to assert the principles Of the
Monroe doctrine in national opposition to the
canal project, since such position would in
yolve broader authority than the United
States government is ready to assume, and
possibly lead to complications which it is not
prepared to meet.
The Times Washington special on the
same subject says it has been stated that the
President is SO anxious to enforce the Monroe
doctrine that he had come into collision with
Secretary Evarts, who therefore is about to
retire from the Cabinet. This, however, is
untrue. There is an inter-oceanic canal lob
by here, headed by Eads, who is confident it
is certain that both House committees will
take strong grounds in favor Of driving out
foreigners and advocating encouragement by
the government of the great scheme.

WASHINGTON
News Notes From The National Capital.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2, 1880.

-# '..nr.a WAsuINGToN, Feb. 2, 1880.
Editor Butte MINER: t
Tn political pot is boiling very vigorously
just now. Several weeks ago it was thought
that the Presidential canvass would be post
poned until later than usual, but Mr.. Came
ron ordered the Pennsylvania convention to
meet early in order to keep along his favorite
boom. 1t walked up the opposition of the
Republican leaders, and lately the contiover-
sy has been most animated. In fact, it has
become acrimonious since it has been devel-
oped that Cameron is determined to have his
way in Pennsylvania, whether the majority
of his party like it or not. He went home on
Saturday and announced as he went that the
State Convention must declare for Grant.
He is greatly wrought up because whenever
county conventions have been called in
Pennsylvania, Senator Blaine seems to have
been favored with the votes of the majority.
The impression in the public mind here is
that he thinks the voters in his State have no
rights contrary to his interests, and therefore
he manipulated the Convention to his
own fancy. There was consequently great
lltS lClu III liz NoiiIi'NSisy hSICs SSPSb-
cially as a large number of his constituents
declare themselves independent of him.
Mr.. Sherman appears to be boldly pushing
his Presidential interests in a manner not al
together pleasant to contemplate in a man
who aspircs to so high a position. He is pro-
voking criticism in his own party equal to
that against Cameron. 1t is asserted that lie
has sent several special agents, who are in
the employ of the government, through the
State Of North Carolina to get delegates ap-
pointed to ;hicaSo pledged to vote for him.
The four delegates at large have been ap-
pointed by the State Committee, three of
whom are members Of that committee, and
are of course for Sherman. One is a collector
at the port Of Wilmington, and one has re-
Gently. it is said, received a Treasury appoint
ment. OF the committee who made selection
of delegates. one is chief clerk of the loan
division of the Treasury, one collector of
customs, and one collector of internal reve-
nue.. 1t Inlay be asked what has become of
civil service rules? Is the President entirely
ignorant Of the means employed by the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury to force his nomila-
ton upen his party? If not, his attention
should be called to it at once. .he Secretary
has been raised to high position already, too
high, by far, if he can see in it nothing but a
stepping stone to a higher place. He has no
right to employ men in the pay Of the govern
ment to canvass for him.
The dismissal of Commissioners Hayt does
not end the troubles of the Interior Depart
ment. 1t is thought that several others con-
nected with the Indian Bureau may be in
volved in the irregularities which killed Hayt.
Secretary Schurz is now urged 10 look sharply
to the Commissioner Of Pensions, and it is
believed that he will have TO go soon.

Illustrative of the Buckeye mill Of Silver Reef,

able and constant operation. Prof. Rothwell
IS by no means ignorant, however, OF the
fact that the Buckeye mill is thoroughly worn
out, that it has been closed down tor seven
months, that it never paid expenses, and that
it is a very difficult matter to get water enough
to keep it in operation. The editor of that
paper can give space to write up and illustrate
such properties as that, but lie seems deter
mined to ignore the existence of Mentana's
vast mineral wealth, and especially of the
mines in this vicinity, simply because he has
few subscribers here and because he did not
receive five thousand dollars for making a
