When they. two moons, 90 so,tlJ gioW'
What does my love tonight
Ye golden beams that fondlv play
Her raven locks soft spun among,
That fam would steal her smile away
To rival Sol in mid-sky hung.
How seems my love to-nlghtf
Twixt her and me, myself the key.
Thy beams an sIching bridge shall form,
Naught but dear love shall pass from me,
PRAY naughf but this from her be borne.
What THINKS my love tonight
The darkness grows. thy brightness fades,
A misty veil thy face enshrouds,
So, dismal gloom my heart lnvades,
lts lnez hid by memory's clouds.
Farewell my love, tonight.

SMALLPOX IN BIRDS.

In The British Medical Journal, DIT; William
Gayton, Medical Superintendent of the Smalic
pox Hospital at Bomerton, says; Apropos OF
smallpox in birds | may, perhaps, mention
the fact that some years ago a former steWaru
of this hospital was in the habit of breeding
large number OF canaries. As these arrived
at maturity it was a common occurrence to hnG
many of them dead and presenting evidence OF
having suffered from some eruptive disease. III
was further observed that when the hospital CON
tanned somewhat large number OF patients the
mortality among the birds increased, and

FLIES AND The CAsTOR-OIL PLANT

Observations made by NJ kattOrd, a member
of the Socete Horticulture at Limoges, show
that a castor-Oil plant (I{icnus cOmmunls) hav-
inc been placed III a room infested with flies,
thev disappeared as by enchantment. Wishing
to ascertain the cause, he soon found under the
castor oil plant number OF dead flies, While
laroe number of bodies remained cinging to
the under surface Of the leaves. 1t would,
therefore appear that the leaves Of the castor
oil plant give ont an essential oil or some toxic
principle which possesses strong InSecucide
qualities Castor oil plants are IN france very
much used as ornamental plants in rooms, and
they resist well variations of atmosphere and
temperature. AS the castOr-oil plant Is much
grown and cultivated in all gardens, the
Journal q Agriculture points out that 1t would
be worth while to try decoctions of the leaves
to destroy the green flies and other insects
which in summer are so destructive to plants
and fruit trees. The plant is also common
enough in this country, and readers can there
fore readily test the accuracy Of these French
reports.

THE STATE ELECTION.

A dispatch sent to the Eureka ,Senti-
mel, by Matt. Caravan, Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, gives the following majorities for
State officers: Cassidy, l,l07; Adams,
1892; Laughton, 453; Leonard, 99S;
Hallock, $50; Dormer, 945; Tuhy, 6SS;
Davenport, 232; Preble, 70S; Bicknell,
$40; Young, 7l2; Harlow, l,034; with
Nye and Esmeralda counties to hear
from.
The Sentinel says Merrill does not
give up the fight, but, ON the contrary,
figures majority of nine in his favor.
Cassidy's and Adams majorities will be
considerably higher than the figures
given by Mr.. Canavan, although these
are sufficient.

AN ILLOGICAL CONCLUSION.

The Eureka Sentinel, in commenting
on the defeat of H. f. Page for Con-
gresham in California, says: "Page
was a good preventative, but we sup
pose the people tire of having one man
in Office all the time, and therefore seek
change.
That conclusion is Illogical. Some,
in fact nearly all, of the able men in
Congress have been kept there for years
by their constituents, who never tire of
keeping them there SO long as they rep
resent the people. Page was not one
of that kind of representatives. He
advocated all sorts of jobbery, and was
foremost among those members who
seemed to believe that the larger the
appropriations made for carrying on
the several Departments of the Govern
ment tie better the people were salts
fed. That was one of the mistakes
made by Congressman, and it relegated
many of them to private life. The
third, or any other number of terms
rule, does not apply to members of
Congress who represent the people, as
the efficiency of member increases
rather than diminishes with the terms
he serves.

TELEGRAPWIC ITEMS.

Acting Secretary Joslin has decided
case where husband and wife were
voluntarily divorced in order that the
wife might make an entry of land under
the homestead law. The woman subse-
quently lived with the divorced hus-
band. The decision holds that, in con-
sequence thereof, the woman cannot be
considered the head of family within
the meaning of the law, and the land
entry is fraudulent.
Charles E. Shaw, connected with the
Star Route scandal, in that he was ac
cused of attempting to bride Juror
Doniphan, voluntarily surrendered him
self Saturday, and, with his counsel,
went to the Police Court and was
placed under S2,5 bonds, to appear
when wanted. He says he has been in
Virginia for the past month on bust
ness.
The London Economist, commenting
on the results of the State elections in
the United States, considers that the
return of the Democrats to power can
not fail to be followed by large results,
one of which will be an effort to induce
Canadians to enter the Union, and that
many circumstances tend, if Canada
consented, to make Canada Democratic
rather than Republican.

General Sherman has submitted to
the Secretary of War a special report
upon the subject of military posts and
forts, in which he says: "TEe time is
ripe for radical change in the whole
system of piecemeal in quartering
troops of the United States. For a
hundred years we have been creeping
across the continent with skirmish
line, building a post here and another
there, to be abandoned the next year
for another line, and so on, and now
we are across and have railroads every
where, so that the whole problem is
changed, and l advise the honorable
Secretary of War to 60 to Congress
with plan that will approximate per.
manency, instead of as heretofore meet
ing specific temporary wants by spe-
eial appropriation, often in the interest
of parties, for the enlargement and i'm
provement of military posts" General
Sherman recommends the Secretary of
War to ask Congress for 81 900, 900 per
year for five years, to be expended by
him at the discretion of the officers of
the Quartermaster's Department. By
that process he thinks they will have
an abundance of good quarters for the
whole army for the next fifty years.
