the mURmUR OF THE SHELL.
BY MRS. NORTON.

BY MRS. NORTON.
A sailor left his native land,
A simple gift he gave
A sea shell gathered by his hand
From ont the ripping wave.
o love, by this remember me,
Far inland thou must dwell,
Bnt thou shalt hear the sounding sea
In the murmur of the shell.
All! woe is me, with tattered sail,
The ship is wildly tossed;
A drowning CRY is on the gale,
They sink and all is lost.
While Mary, yet untouched by fear,
Repeating his farewell,
Signs and says she loves to hear
The murmur Of the shell.
The tidings wrecked'her simple brain,
And smiling now she goes
A mad girl reckless of her pain,
Unconscious Of her woes.
Aud when they ring the village chimes
That tolled her lovers khen,
She smiles, and says she hears at times
The music Of the shell.

Children On q Balloon Urn.

A lady who lives in the town of

how two little children took q trip
in a balloon all by themselves. On
that day, an aeronaut, or sailor Of
tho air, named brooks, filled his air
ship with gas on the farm of Mr..
Harvey, who lived near Ceutralia.
He expected to sail up in the after
noon.
About noontime Mr.. Harvey put
his two children into the basket of
the balloon just to please them, and
not thinking for q moment of any
danger. The balloon was tied to
tree BY ropes. All ut once Q gust
of wind broke the ropes, cad the
balloon got up into the sky with no
body but the two children in the
basket. Mr.. Harvey was wild With
grief and shouted aloud: They are
lost; they are lostr All the neigh.

balloon drifting of TO the north and
more than mile high. One of the
children was a girl, Nettie, eight
years old, and the other her little
brother Willie, four years old. Both
cried when they found themselves
leaving the ground and going on a
very, very strange journey indeed.
Nettie looked over the edge OF the
basket and saw her father wringing
his hands away below. Soon the
people looked to her smaller than
babies, and the houses like toy
houses. She aud Willie were going
up all the time. Il expect We are

cold in heaven then, for the higher
they went the colder it grew. Net

held his head in her lap until he
cried himself fast asleep. Then
Nettie folded her hands and waited.
She said l think VIC must be near
the gate now. She meant the gate
OF heaven, that she had heard about
in Sunday school. But Nettie fell
asleep, too. When she woke abe
found that some strange man vas
lifting her from the basket. The
strange man was a farmer, in North.
ern Illinois, who had seen a balloon
drifting low down across the field.
The rope was dragging and he
caught it, and landed the children
safely. The balloon had floated all
night. Nettie and Willie's father

IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Victory for the Western
Union.
The Circuit Court will not Condemn
a Right Of Way,
Aud the American Union TeIe
graph Must Ray It's Passage
Through the County.

An important decision was rendered
by Judge Pierce in the circuit court
this morning. The style of the case
was the American Union telegraph
company VS.. Memphis and Charleston
railroad company, resulting virtually
in victory for the Western Union
telegraph company, which though not
a party to the suit was deeply inter-
ested in the decision. The petition
of the American Union telegraph
company was fled under the provis-
ion of section 1916, 1925 to 1348 Of
the code to condemn right Of way and
construct lines of telegraph, etc.
1t was resisted by the rail
road company upon several grounds.
First. Because the petitioner is a
foreign corporation, and is not en-
braced under the provision of the
code therein referred to.
The court took this as the ground
work Of its decision, without reference
to the other grounds.
The decision was, in short, that the
American Union, being foreign cor
poration, the right Of eminent domain
did not exist, and that the legislature,
in regard to such corporations, was
confined to home corporations and
citizens in other words, if the Amer
ican Union wishes to construct a tele-
graph line through this county, it
must pay the owners of the land such
price for the privilege of running
their lines over it, as can be agreed
upon as the result Of negotiation be-
tween them. There is law giving to
the courts the right to condemn private
property for the benefit of corporations
whose object is to facilitate to com
mercial interests of the state, called
technicallyin law the right of "emi-
nent domain" but in this case petit
toner being foreign corporation, can
claim no such right.
This decision will have the effect
of increasing The cost of CON
Struction to such an extent it is very
doubtful if the A. U. will be built,
and the W. U. will continue to enjoy
a monopoly. Messrs. Humes and
Poston were attorneys for the rail
road, and received handsome fee for
their services. They expect to try it
in several counties, with retainer of
Sl25O in each one. The railroad was
so jubilant that they ordered the en-
tire decision, several thousand words,
telegraphed to New York, and thou
sand printed copies struck off.

Thn Wronged Pnnnns.

OMAHA. December 3.-Judge Dun
dy, in the United States circuit court
this morning, decided in the Ponca
Indian case to recover the old reser-
vation and to establish their claim
thereto; that the Ponca tribe of In
dians have legal estate in the reser-
vation, and are entitled to possession
thereto. He says it is the first case on
record where one Indian tribe brought
suit against another in the courts Of
the United States, and it has aroused
deep and widespread feeling on ac-
count of the wrong done the Poncas.

they got into a dispute, which ended in
Price drawing a knife and giving Nc

of them never met again, some being
killed, while others were scattered
about, finding places in different regi-
