The Haaokeye thinks it was good

that he died before the gem puzzle was
born.

The flies are getting ready for the
spring misunderstanding off their wings,
warming up their feet and oiling up the
valves of their suction hose. In a few
days they will have their accordeons in
tune, and 60 forth for the season.
"Has your husband shown any en-
couraging signs of growth in the fear of
the Lord" asked clergyman of a New
England woman as they shared social
cup of tea. "Well," said the woman,
81 kinder think he has. for he never goes
out on the Lords day without shot
gun"
A boy can imagine almost anything !;
can lug an old shot gun about all day,
without firing at living thing, and be
under the impression that he's having a
bowling good time. But all attempts to
induce boy to imagine that he's kill
ing Indians when he is saving wood
have proved futile.
"Yes," said witness, "I remember
the defendants mother crying on the
occasion referred to. She was weeping
with her left eye-the only one she has
and the tears were running down her
right cheek" what" exclaimed the
judge, show could that be ?" please
your honor" said the witness, "she was
awfully cross-eyed."
1t is queer how folks dream. The
other night man dreamed he stood at
the gate of heaven and asked st. Peter
if the souls of the rich ever got in there.
Eyes" was the reply; sit is supposed
that the souls of great many rich peo-
pie have got in here. Many of them
are so small we have not been able to
invent any way to keep them out.
After telegraph pole had fallen on
Savannah negro's head he threw up his
hands and shouted: Don't hit me again
wild your club, Mr.. Policeman. 1t wasn't
me that stole der chickens. 1t was
Deacon Henry" Then he looked, saw
what hit him and walked off, saying:
"Golly, Use in luck dis morning. |

"You must not play with that little
girl, my DEAR" said an injudicious pa
rent. "But, ma, l like her; she is a
good little girl, and am sure she dress
es as pretty as | do, and she has lots of
toys" 81 can not help that, my dear"
replied the foolish mother; 'her father
is a shoemaker" "But 1 don't play
with her father, l play with her; she
amt a shoemaker"
A young gentleman somewhat numer-
Gus in social circles took his sister, a
wee miss. to see family the other day
in which he was regular caller. The
little girl made herself quite at home
and exhibited great fondness for one Of
the young ladies, hugging her heartily.
"How very affectionate she is, said the
lady of the house. "Yes, just like her
brother, responded the young lady, un-
thinkingly. Paterfamilias looked up
sternly over his spectacles, the young
gentleman blushed, and there was con-
sternation in the family circle.

But Mr.. Edmunds foresaw that this
would be a most unfortunate way of
installing president, and that it might
involve terrible wrench in the form of
our government. So he invented the
idea of the electoral commission, and
gave Mr.. Hayes title which has, for
all practical purposes, proved to be as
good one as any president has ever
had.
One of the greatest public services
ever rendered by Mr.. Edmunds was the
Pacific railroad funding act, originated
and carried through the Senate by him
self and Mr.. Thurman against the oppo-
sition of all the jobbers in the Senate.
By this act millions of dollars have been
saved to the government and the rela-
tions of the Pacific railroads to the gov
ernment definitely established. 1t was
one the best things he ever did, and
the people owe debt of lasting graft
tuds to him and Mr.. Thurman for the
passage of this measure. AS senator
Mr.. Edmunds is noted for his strict ad-
herence to all the rules of the Senate.
He is great stickler for privacy in the
proceedings of committees, and to cor
respondent who once had the temerity
to ask him for some information about
what was going on in the Judiciary COM
mittee, he replied, "You must under
stand sir, that there is one committee
of the Senate which observes all the
proprieties. ."-Edmunad Hudson IN Phil

In Evansville the children are looked
after and kept at school. There is a
liberal school fund, and careful men see
that is we'll expended. The result is
seen in the condition of the town; in
the intelligence of its inhabitants in
the business enterprise and thrift.
Across the river in poor old Kaintuck,
the schools are few and feeble. There
are colleges and seminaries for the rich,
but only a penitentiary for the poor.
One who claims to speak by the book
tells me that ''more than half of the
Kentucky school children attend no
school. When all the world comes to
understand that schools are cheaper
than prisons that the educated, indus
trious, sober son of poor man is bet
ter citizen than an idle. profigate, in
temperate man, no matter whose SOD he
is; when brains, not brass, and morals
instead of bank accounts determine
mans position; then and not until then,
can We hope to see the beginning of bet
ter things.
In Evansville all sums paid for liq-
uor drinking, are set apart to the
school fund. And very properly too.
for 1t is right that the rumseller should
be taxed to help educate the children
he is doing his best to make paupers of.
But we cannot stay longer in Evans
vile; the screaming whistle of the
steamer calls US to move on. Down the
Ohio we still go, every throb of the
engine carrying us little nearer the
sunny south. little further from those
we love. In and out through the curves
of the river we 60, now and then meet
ing returning steamer, perhaps for
time keeping company with some south
ward bound boat. By and by the cap
tain tells us: "We shall reach Paducah
tonight" and we are all so very glad;
not because Paducah offers any attrac-
tions for US, but because among our
passengers is dear old lady who will
leave US there. She is taking her first
long journey from her Kentucky home
up the river. Every delay of the steam
er has seemed an age to her, as if old
Father Time were holding the moments
so loosely in his hand that they tumble
after each other faster than they ought;
every turn of the wheel has made her
grateful, for it carried her nearer her
boy, who was laying SO close beside the
river which divides this from the better
land. How our hearts ached for her;
how we wished we might be sure the
light had not forever fed from the eyes
which had learned their first lesson of
love from her. Poor boy, dying away
from home, Poor, stricken mother,
mourning her irst-born. Let US hope
there were no bitter memories crowding
about his bedside; no pangs of con-
science because of pain given the poor
old mother who went to her boy with a
heart so full of tenderness and longing.
We bade her goodbye, she going on her
sorrowful mission, we drifting on toward
the point where the Ohio river is swal-
lowed up by the great Father of Waters.

THE COMING OF THE
FLOWERS.
BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON.

As poured the food of the ancient sea,
Splitting over mountain chains,
Bending forests as bend the sedge,
Faster flowing o'er the plains
A worldwide wave with foaming edge,
That rims the running silver sheet
So pours the deluge of the heat
Broad northward DER the land,
Painting artless paradises,
Drugging herbs with Syrian spices.
Tanning secret fires whie h glow
In columbine and clover-blow,
Climbing the northern zones.
Where thousand pallid towns
Lie like cookies by the main.
Or tented armies on the plain.
The million-handed sculptor moIds
Quaintest bud and blossom folds,
The million-handed painter pours
Opal hues and purple dye;
Azaleas flush the island floors,
And the tints OF heaven reply.

ONE SUMMER NIGHT.
Bx DANIEL CONNOLLY.

There's mist in the winding hollows
That fade on the straining sight,
And dimly the darting swallows
Dip into the gathering night.
The hills lie silent and solemn,
The stream makes a drowsy rhyme
That lulls like an echoing volume
or song from far-off time.
And here in the twilight sitting
ponder an old tale o'eT,
And here in the twilight fitting
Are faces that smile no more;
There is one that is fair and tender,
And one that is frank and brave,
And one with darkling splendor,
And beyond, in the gloom, grave.
Down a shady pathway lonely
Two forms in the stiffness move,
And the listening naples only
Hear the whispered sweets of love;
A kiss, and the maiden slowly
Returns to her cottage door.
With peace that is pure and holy
Upon lips that shall laugh no more.
Where the road dips low by the river,
In hollow of green and shade,
And the silvered tree-tops quiver,
By the wandering night-wind swayed,
Fierce eyes by an ambush glisten
With a murderous. vengful glare;
Keen ears in the stiffness listen
For step that soon will be there.
He comes with his heart still singing
The scenes of passionate love,
A bound like tigers springing
From vantage point above;
A CLINT, as of white steel cleaning,
A shrek in the startled night,
And low where the moon is beaming
He lies in the pale, sad night.
o o .
Lo! the mists float high Ger the hollows,
No breath stirs the drowsy leaves
That droop in the morn. and the swallows
Have flown to their nests in the caves;
Thus the mists and the moonlight floated
That night when brave boy died
In the copse, and a dark face gloated
With vengeful glare at his side.

Advice 30 COnSurnptivcs.

No man, however uncleanly
would drink muddy, dirty water
a party which occupies a room for
hours, breathing the same air, might
be compared to party of bathers
drinking the water in which they
battle. The patient must keep the
window of his bedroom open.
Night air is fresh air without day
light. In close, crowded rooms,
the patient suffering from lung
complaints breathes consumptively.
BY taking these precautions and
using DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, fully one-half of the cases
of lung complaints would be cured
in six months. For cough and ir-
ritation of the lungs do not always
indicate the presence of consump-
ton although it may result in that
disease, and if consumption has al
ready become deeply seated in the
system, this most efficient course
of treatment that can be pursued
outside of any institution that pro-
vides special facilities for the treat
ment of this disease. DR.. Pierce's
celebrated Invalid's Hotel is such
an institution. Send stamps for
descriptive pamphlets containing al
so a complete treatise upon con-
sumption explaining its causes, ma
ture, and the best methods of
treating it, together with valuable
hints concerning diet, clothing, ex-
ercise, ETC., for consumptives. Ad-

starts out favorably. The list of
members is large for the first meet
ing. The work of organizing
should be actively carried on until
every Democrat, Independent, and
fair minded Republican has en-
listed in the Hancock brigade.
There must be no cessation of the
battle until the ballot boxes are
closed on the eve of next election,
and if this done, Alpena can be
carried for Hancock by 200 ma
jority. Remember that the Re-
publicans are desperate; that they
have 100000 Office holders to draw
on for money, and that they will
use every power, both lawful and
unlawful, to retain their clutches
on the peoples money, and to mis-
govern and misrepresent the peo-
pie.
In conclusion, do not forget how
the stalwart Republicans ske-
daddled out of the hall, on a voy-
age Of discovery after solitude.

Last week, the editor of this pa
per, in company with j. w. Fitz-
gerald, b. M. Hawley and A. John
rowe, started up the shore in a
small yacht, belonging to Mr.. Fitz-
gerald. The object of the party
was to recuperate their health,
which had become impaired by in
door work. We can answer for
work in q printing office racking
the strongest constitution, and we
trust that the editor, when he gets
back, will be sufficiently invigor-
ated in mind and body to be able
to make his political opponents re-
greet that he had taken a week or
two's vacation. The party, which
has our best wishes as regards a
pleasant trip, is constituted some
what similar to the American army
there being four officers and one
crew. If that one crew should de-
sert, what a predicament the party
would be in. In him is combined
the important Offices of able sea-
man before the mast, stewart, cook,
navigator, pilot, Waterman, mate,
ship boy, and all hands, and if he
should leave altogether, the loss
would be unreplaceable.

The radicals having no princi-
pie to advocate, and the "bloody
shirt" being useless against such
patriot as Hancock, they have
been obliged to use personal abuse
We are perfectly willing that they
use such boomerangs. AS regards
ourselves, we decline to enter into
the field of personal abuse of such
of Alpena's citizens as may exer-
else the right, which all persons in
this free land possess, of speaking
their political views. Respectable
ity is on the Hancock side this
campaign, and thousands of honest
Republicans recognize the fact, and
will vote for Hancock this fall. AS
an illustration as to how the Re-
publicans feel concerning General
Hancock, we refer our readers to
a few extracts on the second page.
