GRANTED WISHES.

Two little girls let loose from school
Queried what each would be.
one SAID, "Td be Queen and rule"
And one, "The world I'd sae"
Tie years went on. Again they met
And queried what had been.
"A poor mans wife am I, and YET"
Said one, 81 am queen"
my realm happy household is,
MY king husband true:
L rule my loving services.
HOW has it been with your"
One answered, "Still the great world lies
Beyond me as it laid;
ger loves and duties boundaries
ny feet have mover stSayed.
Faint murmurs of the wide world come
Unheeded to my ear;
My widowed mothers sick bed room
Suficeth for my sphere"
They clasped each others hands, with tears
VI solemn joy they cried,
tod gave the wish Of our young years
And we are satisfied"

A report was read. urging the appointment of

report Gays: ut has been made apparent to
this board from many sources thst constant
and vicious system of discrimination In the
matter of freights is being practiced through
out this entire state It is useless for US to
point out instances or specify any particular
road or corporation engaged in This unjust
practice. It is sufficient to say that the prac-
tice is universal, within the common knowl-
edge of all persons having dealings with trans
portation companies, and that is one which
calls for some intel vention by your body"
Mention is made of the havoc caused the
wool interests of the state by dogs, and an ur-
gent rt quest is made for legislation which will
protect the sheep farmer. The treeless condi-
tion of the northern, western and southern por-
lions Of the state is the subject of considerable
comment and arguemeat. the result OF which

Strong recommendations were made in favor
of the state and county forestry, &c.

sion was had oa the action Of III, nesting OF

The scussion on this subject brought out

sufficient and effectual legislation as coon as

What q Jilting Did.

The student of history soon learns to say
with Dr. Young,
Think naught trifie, though it small appear
Small sands the mountain, moments make the
year,
And trifes the KfAs
The British system Of artificial inland
navigation, which includes one hundred
and ten lines and two thousand four hun
dred miles Of canal, sprung from trife-a
matrimonial disappointment. The, Duke
OF Bridgewater, the originator of the sys.
tenn, was engaged to be married Just after
he had attained his majority. A dispute
arising between the gentleman and lady, the
match was broken off.
The dukes chagrln changed the course
of his life. He gave his first and last ball
to the London world of fashion, and then
buried himself among his coal-fields at
Worsley. Eschewing the society of women,
he even refused to employ them as servants
in his manor house. Disappointed in
marrying the most beautiful woman in
England, he determined to unite, by means
of canal, his coal-fields with Manchester,
then beginning its career as a manufacturing
town.
In those days good roads were the excop-
tons, bad roads the rule. The cottons of
Manchester and the woolens of Leeds were
conveyed from place to place on pack
horses, which jagged along in single file.
The freight charge from Leeds to Lon
den was sixty-three dollars q ton. When
the dukes canal was finished, the prices of
coal and other commodities in Manchester
fell one. half.
The success Of this canal started the
duke to build one which would connect
Manchester with Liverpool. To procure
the funds he reduced his personal expenses
to four hundred pounds a year. So
straightened was he at times that the Lon
don bankers hesitated to discount his note
for five hundred pounds.
Sometimes when hard up," he would
start his steward upon collecting tour
among the tenantry of the ducal estates.
The steward would ride from tenant to ten
ant, getting five pounds here and ten
pounds there. When he had collected
money enough, he would return and pay
the canal laborers their weekly wages. In
a few years, however, the dukes canals paid
him on an annual revenue of eighty thou
sand pounds.
Doubtless England would have had it's
canals if the beautiful duchess of Hamil.
ton had not Tilted the young duke Of
Bridgewater. But the historical student,
who finds that many similar tribes have
changed the course of history, will sympa-
thize with Hamlets words:
s'There are more things in heaven and earth.
Horatio,

JUDGE Cox has emerged from the Gui-
&eau trial with untatnished reputation. The
cheap newspaper hacks who sought to ex-
cite popular prejudice against him did not
know so 1nucn about the case as the pre-
siding judge. 1t was n remarkable trial in
many respects and could not be governed
by ordinary rules of procedure. Judge
Cox understood tie situation from the be-
ginning and that caunot be said of many of
his maligners. He acted constantly after con-
sultation with the members of the supreme
court of the district His charge is pro-
nounced masterpiece and 1t will go down
in legal history as the clearest review Of
the greatest of modern trials There was
no doubt of the verdict after the charge
had been delivered.

Now that Guiteau is convicted he should

will be disgrace if the public must be
treated for month or two with sensational
interviews aud to the Characteristic produc-

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
A Hack Driver Becomes Suddenly Blind in
the Streets and Does Damage.
His Sight 10 Afterwards Restored.

Yesterday morning, Robert Brown, aged
about 20 years, man who was formerly EN-.
ployed by the government, and who has fol
years been in the service Of Dan. P. Smith, Of
this city, left with his hack to look out 70,
passengers. He was then apparently well and
all right. Later in the day he was observed
to shake somewhat and there was some idea
tn t he was going to have an attack Of chill. A
short time afterwards he was seen to drive 10
an apparently careless manner against bug.
gy standing opposite Rhodius & Tempsky's
store, wrecking one of its wheels, and then he
drove on down Commerce street. At the bot
tom he turned the team and drove to Smiths
stables. Here he complained that he
was blind, and Mr.. Smith helped him
from the hack divers seat. Brown
attempted to walk but knocked
himself against a buggy and went
light into horses stall before he
knew it. Brown also complained of pains in
the head, and DR.. Chew was sent for. He
could not understand the aspect of the case,
which was decidedly phenomenal. The pa.
tient suffered much dr-ing the night. Thi.
mo, ming he is better, his sight is restored and
he was apparently having rapid recovery.

Anew Departure in Tele.. apr,ng.
From the Few York Evening Post.
The Mu.aal Union Telegraph company has
invited merct ats and others to test a new
method of doing business by telegraph, which
may prove TO be more convenient and more
effective than by sending ordinsy dispatches.
To illustrate the scheme: Suppose that A in

he wishes to sett e certain matter with B, OF
Chicago. He sends word to the Mutual In
ion ofhce to send to B, asking if he can be in
the Chicago Office Of he Mutual Union at say
4 o'clock, in order to talk v'th A. If the
answer is "Yes," then the two meet at a
o'clock, one in Chicago and re other in New
York, s1d the two operators ask and answer
whatev.- questions and answers are sent owe
the v.re. In -'is way there will be no oppor
t mi, ! for delays or misunderstanding. The
cost u not be greater than for he sane
amount Of telegraphic matter sent in the or
dina ! way.
