RoYS. GO HOME.

All, boys you who have gone
out from the homes,eads into the
rush aud bustle Of life, do you ever
think of the patient mothers who are
stretching ous to you arms that are
powerless to draw you back to the
old, home, nest arms that we're
strong to carry yon once, pressed to
hearts that love you now as then.
No matter, though your hair is
silver streaked, and Dot in the era,
die Gale you grandpa, you are ''the
boy" so long as mother lives. You
are the children of the old home.
Nothing can crowd you out of your
mothers heart. You may have
failed 10 the battle of life, and your
manhood may have been crushed
out against the wall of circumstan>
ces ;iyOu may have been prosperous,
gained wealth and fame--but moths
er's love has followed you always.
Many boy has Eot been home for
FIVE, or ten, or twenty years. And
all this time mother has been wait.

unto death i the feeble arms are
stretched out no longer; the dim

smoothed for the last time, and the
tired hands are folded for everlast'

The INVENTION OF STEAMBOATS,
DID Nor ORIGINATE WITH FULTON.
Chattanooga Democrat Though
not generally known, it is a fact that
Robert Fulton is not the real inven-
tor Of steamboats,. That honor
rightly belongs to Captain Long
street, grandfather of Gen. James
Longstreet, United States Marshal
of Georgia, and grest>grand father
Of Mrs David Humphreys, of this
city, Captain Longstreet Invented
and built a small steam craft on the
Savannah river four years prior to
Fulton's alleged invention. He
went to New York to make known
bis discovery and interest capital
there in the bonanza, but failed.
Fulton hearing of the steam craft,
visited it, and after making a close
examination wen. to New York and
put like vessel on the Hudson.

MONEY FOUND IN A'coTToN BAG

The Athens Waterman says {:
The other day the Henderson ware
house purchased a bale Of cotton,
end while putting it on tho dray a
silver dollar dropped. out, from be-
tween the bagging. One of the
hands quietly pocketed the change,
thinking it lost by his companion.
AS tie cotton fell upon the wagon
another dollar rolled out, which the
second drayman secretly took pos
session of, supposing it to be the
property of his friend. When the
cotton was thrown off at the depot
two more dollars fell upon the
ground, when the truth dawned upon
the wagoners, and 10 no time they
had their knives out and cut the
cotton bale all to pieces, when eight
shining silver dollars rewarded them
for their paine. 1t is supposed the
money dropped from some ones
pocket while the cotton was being
packed. This is the second time
the present season that money has
been discovered in cotton bales sold

WHY he wEPT.
laramie (Wy, To- Boomerang.

10 Justice to ourselves we desir,
to state that the Cheyenne Sun hal
vilified us aud placed US 10 a false
position before the public. II ha
stated that while at Rock Creek sta
ton 10 the early part of the weeI
we were taken for pea'nuttsr ant
otherwise i'll treated at the railroa,
eating corral and omele! emporium
and that in consequence. of such
treatment we shed great scsldine
tears as large as waterme!ons, This
is not true, We did shed the tears
as above set forth, but not because
of i'll treatment on the part of the
eating house proprietor.
1t was the presence Of death that
broke our heart and opened the
fountains of our great deep, so to
speak. When we poured the glu~
cose syrup on our pancake the stiff
and cold remains OF a large beetle
and two little cockroachec fell out
into our plate, and lay there hushed
into an eternal repose.
Death to us is all>powerful. The
king of terrors is to us the mighty
sovereign before whom we must all
bow, from the mighty emperor down
to the meanest slAve-from the rail
road superintendent, riding in his
special car, down to the humblest
humorist-all alike must some day
curl up and die.
This saddens as at all times, but
more particularly when Death, with
his remorseless lawn-mower, has
gathered in the young and innocent.
This was the case where two little
twin cockroaches, whose years had
been unclouded by wrong aud self
ishpess, were called upon to meet
death together. Ia the Stiffness of
the night, when others slept, these
little affectionate twins crept into
glucose syrup aud died.
We hope no one will misrepresent
this matter. We did weep and are
not ashamed to own il. We sat
there and sobbed until the tables
cloth was wet for four feet and the
venerable ham was floating around
in tears. II was not for ourselves,
however, that we wept. No UNI
kindness on the part of au eating
house proprietor over provoked such
a tornado of woe. We just weep
when we see death and are brought
10 cloae contact with it. And we
we're not the only one that shed
tears. Dickinson and Warren wept
strong men as they we're. Even
the butter wept. Strong as it was,
it could not control it's emotions.
We don't very often answer a
newspaper attack, but when we are
accused of weeping till people have
to take off their boots and wiring out
their socks, we want the public to
know what it is for.

Rats in the Nevada mines are
never killed. If they were their
corpses would poison the air; they
eat up the remnants of food thrown
away by the miners, aud they can
feel the trembling Of the ground,
which predicts caving in. before
the miners themselves perceive it,
and by scampering away give warn
ing of the catastrophe. Rats com,
ing into new drift or "cross cut"
is deemed good omeo, and an old
miner would sooner kill new one,
than have new one kill rat.

A letter to the New York World
from Aspinwall, dated the 4th in
slant, says that, of thirty Belgian
mechanics who arrived there some
months ago to work on the Pana-
ma canal, eighteen have died of
Isthmus fever. Those who have
escaped are leaving as rapidly as
possible. It is said that thus far
since the commencement of the
work, 1000 persons have died.
Huerne, Stevens & Lynch, of
San Francisco, have secured con-
tract for the excavation of six mill
lion cubic meters of the canal at
thirty cents (gold) per meter. This
Is considered a remarkably low
price. They will have to cut
through swamp and alluvisl soil.
1t is the worst section in the whole
surface of the canal. It was here
that the dreadful mortality took
place when the Panama Railway
was being built. Fifteen hundred
lives were then lost and many
deaths were unchr0nicled.
