The Merediths have all gone to ball

thinking wearily Of my life.
I shed some bitter, almost rebellious,
tears as l think this all over. My life
has been very bright and happy of late,
and now must again cast my lot among
strangers.
With aching heart and fearful eyes
wander aimlessly about the house. At
length come to the MUSHROOM, where
the lights are burning dimly, and tho
grand old piano stands most invitiugly
open.
My fingers have not totehed the keys
OF an instrument for many, many months.

what Will Rextord will say and do when

his walks for day or two, perhaps, and
then he will forget ali about having ever

"But am oply poor governess, Mr..

noble face.
''Bab knew your father years ago,
and it I'm not much mistaken, have
held you en- my knee and kissed you

the word.
"But why are you not at Mrs. Clyde's
ball p I inquire.
Because you are not there" says
Will, and he looks SO honest that I am
ohpelled to believe him. ''The next

OF my new governess, and her name Will

PERsEvERENCE,

One step and then another,
And the lsngest walk is ended
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mended
Ono brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One flake upon another,
And The deepest snow is laid.
So the little coral workers.
BY their slow and constant motion,
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant dark blue oreahi
And the nublest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
BY oft. repeated effort
Have beeh patiently achieved.
Then do not look disheartered
On tho work you have to do,
And say that such a mighty task
Yon never can gel through;
But just endesvor, day by day,
Another point To gain,
And snon the mountainwhich you feared
Will prove TO be plain
Rome was not builded in day."
The ancient proverb teaches,
And nature, by her trees and flowers,
The same sweet sermon breaches.
Think not Of far off duties,
But Of duties which are near,
And having once begun TO work,
Resolve ~ persevere.

WASHINGTON, August 4.-The President
is taking the fate OF his last veto very phi
losophically. He does not regard it as a
personal matter, for some of his warmest
friends voted to pass the bill over the veto,
but still insists that his action was right in
the premises. He differs in his cSnstruc-
ton of the law, as to the power Of the execu-
tive to select what portion OF the appro-
priations shall be expended, with Gen.
Grant, and that therefore he must approve
or reject the bill as q whole. Believing
this, and believing the amounts appropri-
ated enormots, and that these appropria-
tiOns would necessitate additional appro-
priations next year Of not less that S6O,OOO,-
go. in order TO carry on the works so be-
GUN, he could not do otherwise than return
the measure with his objections.
There is little doubt but that he has in
creased his popularity by his course, al
though, unfortunately he has not saved the
Treasury from the raids Of the grabbers.
Still his action in opposing the fraudulent
grab in the face of the tremendous pressure
brought to bear on him, has served to call
the attention to the character and magnl-
tude Of the steal, and cannot fail to result
in good hereafter.

A YOUNG WAR.
The Trouble in the Creek NATION.

LITTLE Rock, August 4.-The trouble
which begun in the northwestern part of
.ha Creek nation last week by the arrest OF
a cr;mi-a and his rescue and the murder
of his iailor, C~..IItsin Sam Scott, by gang
of the Sands men, is not yet settled. Uni:
ted States Marshal Beck, who was in Fort
Smith, yesterday, gives the following view
of the situation:
Monday night the Sands men were
camped on Pecan Creek, nine miles from
Muscogee, in command of the noted despe
RADIO Dick Glass. Chief Checot, of
the Creek nation, was in camp eighteen
miles distant, with $50 men, and citizens
were still coming to his ard. He says when
the command reaches 800 he will arrest
the twelve alayers OF Captain Scott. The
Sands men called on agent Tufts, at Mus.
cogee, who advised them to surrender the
men wanted by the authorities a. the
only means OF preventing bloodshed.
This they emphatically refused TO do. and
declared their intentions to stand by their
comrades TO the bitter end
Great excitement prevails over the
nation. As matters now stand the Glass
gang must either disperse and let Capt.
Scott's murderer take the chances with the
officers, or bloodshed will follow.

LAND GRANTS.
Nothing 90 be Done This Session.


Special Dispatch 70 the Register.
WASHINGrox, August 1.-THE excitement
incident to the veto and the fast coming
close of the session, has served to distract
attention from the Pacific Land grant in
yestigations. On Wednesday the minority
OF the House Judiciary Committee made an
earnest effort to induce the majority to give
a hearing to the man Newell, who has made
bold and serious charges that the grant was
procured from congress by bribery. They
claimed that as the committee had given
every facility to the attorneys OF the Texas
Pacific to state the cOmpany's case on the
question OF forfeiture of the land grant for
nOn-periOrmanCe of contract, 1t would be
proper to hear any competent witness
whose testimony would throw light on the
other side OF the question. The majority
seemed to fear that Newell might smlrch
the GOOD name of some great man or men
in the Republican party, and they obsti-
nately refused to hear a word from Newell.
Robinson of Massachusetts proposed that
the question OF hearing Newells testimony
be indefinitely postponed. And Heed,
Robinson, TAYLOR. McCord, PaySon, Nor
cross and Hammond of Georgia voted for
that motion, Hammond is q Democrat.
Messrs. Knott. Townshend, Culberson,
Manning and Converse Democrats, voted
against it The majority OF the committee
feel that they could not afford to allow the
session to close without dong something
TO show that they are not wholly welded
/ 10 the interests of the land grant railroads;
/ so Yesterday they pounced down upon the
/ Texas Pacific. and by a vote OF IL to l de
/ cided to report in favor OF the forfeiture OF
/ the land grant to that company.
/ ID is worthy of notice that the charters
/ Of the Northern Pacific and Texas PaCitcar
/ the same in all essential particulars, and
/ the section for noncompliance with which
/ the Texas Pacific is Justly doomed is pre-
/ Cisely the same rs that of the Northern
| Pacific, yet the latter company is dealt
! with tenderly by a majority OF the COM
| mittee. Mr. MctOid. of Iowa, is the only
! member who, having voted against forfeit
| ure in one case, consistently voted against
! il in the case Of the weaker company. The
| lands of the Texas Pacific are for the
/ most part worthless and inconsiderable IN
! comparison with the empire OF valuable
! lands granted to the Northern Pacific. 1t
! is understood that there will probably be
several reports from the majority who
| favor the forfeiture of the Texas Pacific
| lands. for those of them VINO voted the
