THE NATIONALS HYMN.
by J. II. RANDALL.


We've land of wealth spread from sea to sea,
Covered DER with fruits and flowers;
Aud mines well filled with all that need to be
To bring forth our industrial powers.
But the scheming few who despise and hate
Tho brawny sons of toll in all lands,
Are rearing by law m idle proAigate
To sap all the products of his hands.
Chorus-Then let the oppressed 90 free,
We'll have no bonds any more;
We will labot's rights defend,
And Columbia we'll free once more.
Oar land Is oppressed by corporate schemes,
Which the selfishness of men have bred;
And the cherished hopes of all life's dreams
With labor and enterprise ia dead.
But the moral power of the people is strong,
When they rise up with all Their might
They will vote protest against the wrong,
They will do and dare for the right.
We have rowing tramp', and mobs aud strikes
The sheriffs are selling homes and farms;
We are drifting back into annohy's night
And assaulting starvation with arms,
But the shout defiant Of the money king
Is heard for gold on every hand,
The interest. .eating bondholdtrs' ring
Is enslaving AL in the land.
Then let us false our flag once more,
For free speech, fres schools, aud free press
And spread the tidings from shore to shore
That we yet vote to free the oppressed;
Equity and Justice DER all this land
Shall yet rule ss in days Of yore;
United are we in national band,
To preserve our Republic once more.

From the Boston Herald.
This noon, says the Bangor Commercial,
Detective Walker stood on Kenduskeag
bridge spinning romances to friend.
From time to time the gentleman cast
piercing glances at the then almost de.
serted dry bed of Kenduskeag's limpid
stream, and the veteran detective kept on
with his flow of words, the fountain of
which had not run dry, though he might
have felt little that way himself under
the blazing July sun. A crowd began to
gather about the interlocutor, for he was
telling a pretty little story to the effect
that twelve years ago man stole a valu'
able watch, and that he chased him into a
store on the bridge, but that the thief
suddenly threw the watch over into the
stream; and the detective further told
how he had spent much money in endPav-
oring to find the watch in the mud of Ken
duskeag bottom, but all to no avail. As
he talked on, suddenly bystander, who
was leaning over the bridge, exclaimed:
81 can see it now! There, in that little
poo!" And sure enough. there the time
piece apparently lay, glowing yellow in
The sunlight, after its quiet rest Of twelve
years. In another moment persons stood
three deep along the bridge rail, all de,
claring they could see it. Then cour-
ageous small boy was hired to attempt a
recovery of the watch. His unmention.
ables were rolled up to his middle, then he
carefully picked his way over the rocks in
the stream, directed by the crowd to 90 a
little to the right, or little to the left,
until at last the urchin saw the object
himself Then he made an eager dive for
it and brought up what? A half Of lemon |!
Thus again was the adage verified that
"all that glitters is not gold"

The color came into the deacon 5 thin
cheeks, and he started to his feet, looking
anxiously toward the door, as if meditat-
ing has'y retreat. But the yarn was
wound around his boots, and he was forced
to remain.
Miss Kezia likewise rose, and folding
her hands prmly in front of her, remarked
grimly: "When you first began your talk
ing | hadn't the least idea what you were
driving at. | thought you were limiting
about Betsy Hill, and wanted to take me

that you meant me. Why, | supposed

she I'll make a good home for you and she

The deacon looked completely withered,
and Miss Kezia continued: "If you'll step
around a little llvelier, deacon, and pick
up the stones on your lots and put them
into good fences, and now down some OF
those pesky weeds, there's no earthly
reason why your farm shouldn't look as

The delay in unwiDdng the yarn from

A Careful Mother.

From the Chester IPa.l Times.
A few weeks ago sparrow built her
nest in one of the trees in the yard around
Mayor Forwood's s residence, and in a short
time three or four pretty little sparrows
were hatched out. There was nothing
particularly strange in this, but what is to
follow seems to us little above anything
in reference to the sparrow that we have
heard. Thursday evening, while the
storm was raging and the wind whistling
through every branch Of the trees, max
ing it decidedly uncomfortable to be out,
the mother sparrow, true to the instinct
which prompts rything to care for its
young, carried the little sparrows from
the nest to the corner Of the window sill,
away from the severe weather, and then
carried the nest down, put the little ones
in it, and restsd safely from the storm all
night. She and her young we're well
cared for. If this had not been done, the
young sparrows would no doubt have been
drowned.

ROBERT BURNS,

l see amid the fields of Ayr
A plowman, Who in foul or fair,
Sings at his task,
So clear we know not if it is
The laverock's song We hear or his,
Nor care to ask.
For him the plowing Of those fields
A more ethereal harvest yields
Than sheaves of grain;
Songs flush with purple bloom the rye;
The plOver's call, the curlew's cry,
Sing in,his brain.
Touched by his hand, the way-side weed
Becomes flower; the lowliest reed
Beside the stream
Is clothed with beauty; gorse and grass
And heather, where his footsteps pass,
The brighter seem.
He sings of love, whose flame illumes
The darkness of lone cottage rooms;
He feels the force,
The treacherous under-tow and stress,
OF waYward passions, and no less
The keen remorse.
At moments wrestling with his fate,
His voice is harsh, but not with hate;
The brush-wood hung
Above the tavern door let's fall
Its bitter leaf, its drop of gall
Upon his tongue.
But still the burden of his song
Ia love of right, disdain of wrong;
Its master-rhords
Are Manhood, Freedom, Brotherhood;
Its discords but an interlude
Between the words.
And then to die 30 young, and leave
Unfinished what he might achieve!
Yet better sure
Is this than wandering up and down.
An old man, in country town,
In6rm and poor.
For now he haunts his native land
As an immortal youth; his hand
Guides every plow;
He sits beside each ingle-nook;
His voice is in each rushing brook,
Fash rustling bough.
His presence haunts this room tonight.

received the eighty per cent dividend in
bonds, and sold them for ninety-sevtn per
cent, and also received the sixty per cent
cash dividend, which, together with the
price of the stock and interest, left bal.
ance Of $329. This sum was paid over to
Mr.. Garfield by check on the sergeant
alarms.
This language of Poland's is his decision
after having all the witnesses and Is
direct charge on the Elder OF perjury,
This charge was believed at the time by
all the leading Republicans; the journals
of that party everywhere posted him as
Credit Mobilier sHindler and perjurer,
Among these papers may be mentioned
the Cincinnati Commercial the New York
Times, and the New York Tribune. The
N. Y. Times Of Feb. 16, 1878, said:
"Messrs Kelley and Garfield presented
a most distressing figure. Their partici-
patton in the Credit Mobilier affair is COM
plicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictions Of testimony"
And the Tribune of the same date said:
"James A. Garfield OF Ohio had ten
shares; never paid dollar; received 1920,
which after the investigation began, he
was anxious to have considered a loan
from Mr.. Oakes Ames to himself"
With the Republicans this is surely
good authority. Beside all Of this, Elder
Garfield did all in his power to induce
Oakes Ames to swear falsely on the sub
ject.
The Cleveland Leader, a Republican
paper owned in part, at least by R. G.
Barrows, the Elders bosom friend and
the very man who paid him five thousand
dollars on the DeGolyer pavement fraud,
speaking of the Credit Mobilier Swindle
said.
"Gcn. Garfield bought few shares and
dropped them at loss when he found out
the nature of the concern"
Thus the Elders home paper while con-
Tossing that his Reverence was a perjurer,
a bribe taker and aswindler, tries to make
him out fool.
Republicans, Is he the man you want
for presidentp ii so, the country has had
quite enough Of you and your candidates.
So far as General Hancock is concerned,
we presume he is a thoroughly, good,
honest and pure man; his difficulty is that
he stands on bad platform, pledged to
the carrying out OF bad principles, and is
at least, partly surrounded by bad men,
who will see that his administration is in
the interest of banks and bankers. Let
him alone, we can do better.
General James b. Weaver, the Green
back candidate, stands on good platform.
As man, he is entirely above reproach.
A soldier himself, the chief objection
urged against him is, that he is the SOL
dier's friend During the past session, he
has stood faithfully by the soldier, when
all his Republican friends had torsaken
him. Against his character, there is not
one blot. Not an opponent but that ad-
mits that General Weaver would make an
honorable and dignifed president, one
who would ill the office with impartiality.
Voters, we come before you a clean
party, with issues that directly interest
you and every producer in the country;
and we bring with US candidate whose
hands are cean-against whose character
there has never been the faintest su>p-
cion. We are proud Of both our candi-
date and our principles, and present them
to you, with confidence.

support the Ticket.

From Chase's Enquirer.
Last week we published General
Weaver's letter, accepting the Greenback
nomination for the presidency. That letter
we earnestly commend to the readers at
tentlon, 1t shows that its author is
thoroughly in harmony with the great
mass of Gleenbackers upon the issues of
the campaign, and signifies a well-posted
mind.
As the days pass by, the wisdom Of our
convention in choosing General. j. b.
Weaver as its standard bearer is made
manifest. A man OF liberal but firm views,
well read upon the events of the hour,
whose character stands up as testimonial
of his honor and integrity, he is doubly
qualified to march at the head Of the
Greenback column. In accepting the
nomination, he speaks distinctly upon the
financial question, and the plainness of
the remedies to he applied can meet the
comprehension Of the people.
With the action Of the two old parties
and the new party upon the money ques.
ton, we fail to see how any man of Green
back principles Can vote otherwise than for
Weaver and Chambers. Every Green.
backer now has chance to make his in
huence felt on the side of right and justice.
1t is not a question as to whether the
Greenback ticket can or cannot be elected,
1t is the only ticket that stands upon
Greenback principles, and it is the pain
duty of every man who believes in Green
backsm TO support that ticket. We can
not apologize for any Greenbacker who
supports either of the old party candi.

Garfield or Hancock, to them we appeal
to be men-elther use your influence foi

There is right and wrong to this

From the Santa Fe New Mexican,
One of the most curious animals that the

it would perhaps be called by biologists,
the salamander. The animal abounds in
New Mexico is amphibious, and is gen :
rally found in wet places, the beds of

which popular superstition Supposes to be
capable of transformation at the will OF
its owner into a boring instrument more
penetrating than a steel gimlet, and which

an appearance as can be well imagined.
The juacholote is about foot in length,
but strange stories are told especially to
tenderfeet) of the juacholote down the
Rio Grande, which grow to the size of an
alligator, which undermine the founda-
tons of houses with the aforesaid glmlet
tongue, and have been known to catacomb
mines in one night, during the absence OF

been at work there. One of the most
valuable ore-bodies that has ever been
exposed in New Mexico was uncovered in a

of intelligence, the animal following him
about like a dog, and making his meals
entirely on lcorice root and the bark OF
cinnamon. On this diet he lived for over
a year, but finally died from the effects of
curiosity and perhaps more directly indl-
gestion. Seeing a bottle of arsenic on the
shelf, the hapless pet, while its master
was behind the prescription counter, bored
with its tongue q hole in the bottle and
swallowed the contents.

found yesterday, by some boys, imbadded
in the forks of tree, several miles from

fallen with great force, burying itself so
deep in the tree that it had to be cut out
with an axe. The meteor is about the
size Of a mans head and of an anal ga
nation Of iron and stone. That it is the
same one that passed over our city few
nights since, there can be no doubt. 1t
was found in the direct line that the great
meteor was seen to be going, and the
substance of the meteor was bright and
