THE WIZARD.

THE WIZARD.
OH, Donald young Donald beware OF
the dav
When the clans that have mu stored shall
rush "a the fray!
For there comes to my vision sight that
appslls,
And Bossism shrieks as Don Cameron
falls.
False wizard, ayaunti for your talk il
played out.
And the son of old Simon knows what
he's about.
My leaders are wary, my ciansmen are
'And soon we will scatter that pestilent
crew.
THE WIZARD.
The dea,h~boding buzzard is poised in
tie air,
The sight of the battles joy to him
there;
The steam of the carnage reeks up from
the plain,
And the Cameron clansmen are shattered
and slain.
They come by the thousands from Pitts
burgh's dark hiyes,
And smart Philadelphia has emptied her
dives;
III voters should fail me 10y any mlshap,
My ballot box suffers will fill up the
gap.
THB WIZARD.
They come, but to sprinkle the plain
with their gore,
Your henchrnen are many, the people
are more.
United, in earnest. they sweep e'er the
field,
And already the doom of the Bosses is
sealed.
Go, preach to the towards. old dotard and
fool
There's nothing can break the bold Cam
eron rule. "
Tho vision you pirate of is all in YOUR
And tho time has not come for young
Donald to die.
THE WIZARD,

The death>boding buzzard is waiting for

And Bossism dies, though it's game to

The deadlock which had been
kept no in the house of Represent
ativss for eight days ever the South
ern contested election cases, war
broken last Mon lay by the srbitra-
ry action of the Republican majority
in changing the rules so ss to prevent
further resistance from the Demo
cratic minority to immediate action
upon these cases; whereupon ex-
Speaker SAMUEL j. RANDALL and
ninety-nine other Democratic mem
bers signed and caused to be read
the following protest:
WHEREAS, The minority of this House
have heretofore, under the rules of the
House. successfully resisted the efforts of
the majority TO consider the case of Mackey
Va. O'Connor because a proper hearing
has not been granted to the contestee by
the Committee on Elections as to the allie
CATION Of forgery and fraud in the evil
dence submitted by contestant, and,
WHEREAS, The majority, in order to
prevent and avoid such an investigation,
have proceeded to change the rules, in
manner not provided for In the rules, in
which alone they can or ought to be
changed, and
WHEREIN, The Speaker has made q
ruling which justihes a proceeding un.
known 10 the principles of constitutional
and parliamentary law, and subversive OF
the rights of the minority.
Therefore, the undersigned, representa-.
tives of the people, hereby protest against
the proceeding of the majority and the
rulings of the Speaker, as unjustifable,
arbitrary and revolutionary. and expressly
designed TO deprive the minority of that
protection which has been established as
one of the great monuments of our repre-
sentative system by the patriotic labors oil
the advocates of parliamentary privileges
and civil liberty.

HANGING NTH BRyLLIANTSUCCESS

William Scott was hung with more
eclat than any one eise had ever been.
People who Witnessed the exercises said
that they never knew man to straight.
en- out rope with more unstudied grace
and earnest zeal than William did.
He seemed to throw tue whole vim
aud concentrated energy Of q lifetime
into tAs emphatic gesture.
As he hung there limp and exhausted
at the end Of the rope, the Chairman OF
the vigilance committee said, while he
took cigar from Williams vest pocket
and lit it, that lie had never known a
man to jump into the bosom OF the great
uncertain with more chic or more
sprightly grace aud precision than
William had.
This should teach us the importance
Of doing everything thoroughly and
well. Whatever We undertake, aim to
do it better than any one else. 1t is
better 10 be hung and know that we
have brought out all there was in the
part, and to know that we expiated our
crimes in way calculated to win the
respect Of al, than evan to run for Alder

Tie first female clerks in the natioLal

Office of the Comptroller Of Currency at
$500 year. They eut nnd trimmed
the United States notes issued il sheets,
and did tlnir work very well. AS soon
as they had been appointed there were
many other applicants. and their number
steadily increased, many oi them secur-
ing places through the peculiar energy
aud perseverance, Which vii refuse to
take 30 for an answer. There are now
more than 800 women i'll the depart
ments at Washington, the majority en-
ployed IN the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing and ia the Government Print

slender, sensitive fingers turning notes
with great rapiility and exactness.
They detect counterfa It's. it Is said,

average feminine mind las little natural
love of figures. Counters and copyists
receive $500 year, other women 81 200
to 81, 400, several of them Il 600. and
one in the internal revenue 1880.
Most of the clerks are we'll educated and
refined. and many of them have seen
more prosperous DAYS. A number are
widows and daughters Of army and naval
officers who lost their lives in the civil
war. Very few Of the young women or
widows marry or resign, and, conse-
anentiy, the hundreds who are constant
ly seeking places in Washington have
very slender prospect Of success. The
most nntirino, ohsiiaate place seekers

who KEEPS about o dozen excellent

grieved and surprised one morning to
find Chat dogs mad raidei Lis flock,
killed two, nangied others, aud scat

In the San Francisco Custom House
there was employed as night Waterman
character called Barney Mc0lone.
MrGlone WAS kaown as good

misforui3 to incur the enmity of his

With persistent malice to fad grounds
sufficient upon which to recommend
Bainey's removal. Night after night he
watched, pouncing down at unexpected
hours, only to find Barney vigilant at
his post. Not word would pass be-
tween them, the officer always
retiring bgiiied and mortified. At
length his presidency was rewarded.
Barney had been putting in his time at
"poker," instead of strengthening him
self by sleep for his weary vigil from
midnight until morn, and, the night be-
ing very chilly, he wrapped himself in
an oyercoat and tried to steal fitful
snatches OF sleep, hoping the night
would be too cold for his relentless pur-
surer to continue his hunt. He reasoned
directly opposite from the officer, who,
guided by the r.usic Of Baruey's snor-
ing, with malignant joy stood watching
the sleeper in Triumph moment, and
then called: McGsoaelv No answer.
"McGione r h. shouted. Barney
awoke with cold chill running down
his back at the sound Of bis enemy's
voice, but kept silent, and simply stared
at his interiocutor. '.McGione r he
again shouted, +" I've caught you asleep"

Graves Mt CullOden.

Many will be Interested to learn that
the graves or trenches In which the bod
les of the unfortunate Highlanders
were buried after the battle of Culloden
are being cared for by the present pro-
prieto, of the estate of Culloden. Formerly
le graves were distinguishable in the
o oil green sward at the roadside only
by the slightly-raised sod. But stones
bearing the names o. the clans have just
been erected ut the head Of each trench.
On one stone is inscribed the names Of
the claus "M'Gillivray, MLean and
M'Luuchlan," ana there are separate
stones for "C'an Stuart ofAppin, "'Clan
Cameron" and Clan Macintosh. I"
Two graves are marked "Clans mixed. !"
At the abortive "great cairn" q slab
has been placed bearing the following
inscription "The battle of CullOden
was fought on this moor, 10th April,
17l6. The graves Of the gallant High
flanders who fought for Scotland and
Prince Charlie are marked by the names
of their Clans" The interesting prehis-
trc rema n at G ava have also received
some attention from the owner of the
pr pperty. Some Of the standing stones
which had fallen down have been set mp;
unfortunately, one or two have been
made to face in the reverse way from
what they did originally. The place
otherwise has been improved. In clear.
ing up the ground round the largest
circle, paved, or rather cause
waved, paths have been discovered lead
ing from the base of the cairn in .
straigLtli line to three of the coulter standing
stones. Local arch@ologists have Also
found great number of soup mark
ings" on the stones in this locality. One
stone discovered had cup marks upon
both sides-said to be very unusual
thing. -E'dinburgh Scotsman.

It is no economy to use inferior food.
It is saving of money and time and
health to give ahigh price for what we eat,

Il for less on account of its being wilt

= Ople prefer their meat tender by
keeping, which means that decomposi-
ton is taking place in palmer phrase,
it - rotting. Such meats require less
cnewing and may appear very tender,
but it is a physiological fact that they
are not di9ested as easily or as quickly
as solid fresh meat. When vegetable
begins to wilt it is no longer that vege-
table, because change of particles has
taken place. and in such proportion it is
