The Minnr'S Prntpra-

From the Pittsburgh Labor TiibunsI
Wal, you see, it's a queer story, Missy;
The little gals none of our kin;
But, you bet, when the old men go under,
She's the one who will handle our tin.
My pard an mes rough ninin' fellers,
We've got nary children nor wife,
But we love little yellow haired Nellie,
An'we'll rear her up right-bet your life.
How old? Wal. shessnigh 8, reckon;
Five years since we brought her out hereI
An she was the cunnin Test baby
We'd looked at for many year.
You see, twas the time the Apaches
Broke out. Blast the red inps of sinl
The emigrant train crossed their trail, Miss,
An the Injuns they scooped 'em all in.
Yes. thar lay men, children an winning
The red devils raised all their har.
We couldn't do nothin' TO help 'ern,
So my pard an me buried 'em thar,
We found one lkely-lookin' young cretur'
Lynn out from the rest of the heap,
She was dead, like the rest an Nellie
Lay close by her side-fast asleep.
Wal, twas nigh ninety mile to the settlement,
Bill an me turned the thing in our mind;
An at last we concluded to keep her
An bring her up lovin' an kind.
We buried her poor dad an mammy,
Likewise all their unlucky mates,
An we named her Nell, arter a sweetheart
My pard had once back in the States.
But the trouble we had with that young IN
Was somethin' quite funny to see;
Bill gave her up for a mystery.
Likewise she was too much for me-
Her burned duds we couldn't get on right,
And we cussed ev'ry but'n an string;
But arter spell we did better
When we once got the hang of the thing.
An she growed up quite pertlike an bloomin'
We take her to work ev'ry day,
While Bill an mes busy nlinin'
She'll sit by the rock pile an play.
An she's made better men of US both, Miss,
We don't cuss now, nor go on no spree,
Cause we're workin' an savin' for Nellie,
The pride of my old psrd an me.

The Liquor Traffic.

The National Republican says editor
tally: "PrOhibitory legislation affecting
the manufacture and sale of liquors
is one of the issues which, sooner or
later, must be squarely met by the two
great political parties of the country.
In Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, and North Caro-
lima the question has become an i'm
pOrtant factor in local politics, and it is
noticeable that in certain other states,
especially throughout the south the ad-
vOcates Of at least restrictive policy
as regards the sale of spurious and even
malt liquors, are gaining many adher-
ents. Under the present local option
laws passed by their respective legls-
latures, numerous counties and towns
in Texas, Kentucky, Mississippi, GeOrg-
ia. and Alabama have already by pop
ular vote declared in favor of the SUP
preston of the liquor traffic, and in
those localities where trial of any
length of time has been had, the verdict
of the local press, which is generally
supposed to reflect public opinion, has
been i'm favor of continuance of the
prOhibitOry measures. In fact there is
growing disposition in all sections Of
the country to give the people the right
TO regulate through the ballOt-bOx this
entire matter, and if such authority be
conferred throughout all or a majority
of the States it will not be long before
Congress will be forced to take some
action in the premises. The question
is one of vast and growing Importance
in National affairs. Opinions will differ
as they must on all great questions, as
to the proper line of policy to pursue,
but that parties must decide, and that
presently, upon which side they will
array themselves, is already a fixed fact.
Prohibition or anti-prOhibition- which
shall it be?"

GOVERNOR FOSTER says that 1t costs
Ohio 100000 year to support its poor,
and that $2,5OO.OOO of that is directly
chargable to the liquor traffic. The en-

than 100000 in taxes, leaving the rest
of the taxpayers to foot the balance of
the cost of free trade in intOxicants.

DIR. WOOD, professor of chemistry of
Bishops college, Montreal, reports on a
number of cures of acute rheumatism
effected by fasting, the time being from
four to ten days. No medicines were
given, the patient simply being allowed
cold water and lemonade in moderate
quantities. From his experience, Dr..
Wood has reached the conclusion that
rheumatism is only phase of indiges-
ton, to be cured by allowing the viscera
rest.
The United States will have at least
one substantial citizen in its diplomatic
service, who will not have to depend up
on his salary to support the dignity and

THE Chicago Inter Ocean says, the in
timatlOn of the sO-called Grand Army
Journal that Senator Ferry, of Michigan,

has but served to make more prominent
the fact that the Senator from first to
last has been warm advocate of the
cause of MANNED soldiers. His speech
Of July 81 in the Senate is evidence of
this, and it is but one of many that illus
trate his earnestness and consistency on
this question, Those who believe that
manned soldiers should not be pension
ed, can make strong point against Mr..
Ferry by quoting from his speeches, but
those who believe that the policy of the
Republican party is right on this ques-
ton cannot find fault with him.

Anew FIgnt for Rates.

A war of rates is imminent between the
Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific
and Louisville and Nashville railways. The
latter road, in defining its position with
reference to defereniial rates. has thrown
down the gauntlet by openly declaring its de-
termination to fix and maintain a difference
in rates in favor of Louisville as against Gin
cinnati, which simply means that it is the
purpos of the management of The Louisville
Southern was built. Strictly speaking, it is
not a ver between the railways, but between
the city of Louisville and the city of Cincin-
natl for the control of the trade OF the South,
but in which he roads are important factors.
The Louisville and Nashville road has ar
rayed itself on the side of Louisville and the
Cincinnati, New Orle ms and Texas Pacific
on the side of Cincinnati.
