For nine long years Mrs. Glen had
mourned her father as dead. Often, almost
hoping againgt hope, she wrote TO his far
distant home, but none of the letters
ELECTED response. 4 few months ago, how
ever, letter with the Irish postmark
reached the house. This proved to be from
an uncle, and contained the information
that her father had died, leaving an estate
of about f2S5000, nearly 81, SOC, 900; that her
only brother had also died in 1874, and that
therefore she MRS. Glen) was the sole sur
viving legatee to her fathers wealth.
This information seemed almost incredi-
bic TO the Glens, who could not realize the
possibility OF being raised from their pres
ent humble position TO one of luxury and
atfiuence. Letters were sent to the Austria
liam lawyers, the good news was confirmed
and, within this week, Mrs. Glen has re-
ceived a letter from solicitors in Melbourne,
asking for certificate of birth. This must
be obtained from Ireland, and the whole
charge of the matter has been placed in the
hands of lawyer John Austin Purcell, who
will take the necessary seeps by which the
family can come into possession of the enor-
mons fortune

BABY's RIGHTS.

Her platform Is only the cradle
Her speeches are funny ana tew-
A wise little head.
But all that il said
Is only a vague little ''gool"
But how baby's rights are respected!
One nod Of her dear, downy head
Whenever she thinks she's neglected,
And down 10 her feet we are led
She lifts up her voice in minute
Her protests are loud and are long
Each household affair-She Is In II.
To see there is nothing goes wrong.
The right 10 twist limbs that are dimpled-
In every extravagnnt way;
To maui and to tease
The cat al her ease
To crow and 10 creep all the day.
The right 10 love that is purest-
The right 70 q mothers own love.
The right to guide that Is S1rest
To lead her wee footsteps above
Her sweet little mouth she upraises.
As sweet as a rose. dew impearled!
The right TO our kisses and praises
O! these are her rights all over the world.

toxication is untrue, though Webster was a
free drlnker. The two wrote a hymn book in
1874, and "The Sweet BY and By" was one of
the pieces Jointly produced tor it, The sug-

Its day, and is forgotten; but this ole tune is
put into every new publication of the kind,
and has sale of about 10000 copies year in

Webster were not orthodox Christians when
the hymn was written, and that he is now even
less u believer.

The Hog Crop.

The Chicago Times of last Saturday con
tains telegraph reports from all promInen,
points in the western states in regard to the
hog, the sammoning up Of which is about as
follows:
That fat hogs Will be scarce and high at the
season when they arc generally marketed
There Is not the usual number of pigs in the
country and there is deficiency of food with
which to fatten them, The cold weather dur
ing the early spring killed many young pigs
in Iowa and other Western States. and the
high price of pork during the summer months
Induced farmers to dispose of most of their
hogs then IN a condition TO be slaughtered
There has been no unusual mortality since the
commencement OF warm weather, but cholera
and some other diseases are reported IN a few
sections, although they have not been general
In any state 1t must be remembered, how
ever, thot cholera is most likely to prevail and
prove fatal after hogs are put on diet con-
sisting of little else than corn The condition
OF hogs in general is reported as poor for this
season of the year. Those that were IN good
flesh have passed into the hands of the butch
ers In Ohio and Indiana, where the hogs are
generally kept in pasture during the summer
severe drought has prevailed for nearly two
months and in consequence the grass and clio
yer have dried up and IN some places there is
scarcity OF water. In these states farmers
are reluctant to feed corn to hogs at present
prices, as they think 1t will bring more money
If sold on the cob. In most sections there is.
or will be, sufficient corn to fatten the hogs
ana to supply the other home demands for this
crop. The reports show that the number of
hogs in the West is at least % per cent. below
the average and that they are of small size
and in poor condition. Although American
pork is prohibited from entering several for
eign countries Western farmers need be In no
fear of low prices during the present season.
