Not Abandoned.

WASHINGTON, October 3-General
Swain says there is no truth in the
published statement that the project OF
erecting monument to Garfield in
Washington under the auspices of the
Army OF the Cumberland has been
abandoned and that the funds collected
for that purpose will be used in the
erection Of a monument in Cleveland.
The statement probably arose from the
fact that monument to Garfield 10 to
be erected over his remains in Lake
View Cemetery, near Cleveland, IN ad-
dition to the one TO be erected in Wash

men who are in Washington express
themselves earnestly about the Mormon

some more stringent act than the "a.

proposed Is to legislate the present Utah

provisional government created, the

A Burlington Society Note.

The iaWktye
Miss Honora Daubigne has just completed
a portrait OF her father in oil. 1t would
have looked more like the old gentleman
and would have smelled infinitely more like
him, had she worked the portrait in whisky.
Still as a work of art, it is n very valuable
painting. Thirteen dollars worth OF tube
colors were used in its construction, and the
frame alone cost Sl5. The hair wart on Mr.,
Daubigne's cheek is omitted in the por-
trait, and the right ear, which was
bit off in fight down at the red
bridge ten years ago has been restored by
the magical touch of the accomplished artist
The nose of the subject, also, has been toned
down, being treated in pale lakes, instead OF
vermlllion. To get at the true soulfulness,
the tout ensemble the immortal intellectual
chiaro oscuro of Daubgnes nose it would
have to be treated in the lake OF birthstone,
if there is such a color AS work OF art
however, the portrait is one OF which our
city may we'll be proud. 1t can be recognized
by glance at the name OF the subject which
was neatly lettered on the frame by Steplad-
der, the sign painter

Anver News.
Lest wrong impression might be created
BY number of highway robberies reported,
1t may not be amiss to say that a
very large majority of "hold-up" cases are
inventions pure and simple to account for the
improper expenditure of money. A fond
husband bucks the tiger or is black-mailed,
mr. in fit of maudlin generosity presents his
mistress with money or jewelry, is robbed in
4 house of ill-repute, plays prohibited poker,
pr, in fact makes any of the foolish ex-
snditures frequent among men, and
specially men visiting the city and inclined
u take in the town. He almost invariably
attributes the loss to a hold-up, as this
raves him in the least Objectionable light.

will entirely rid them of destroying bugs anc
worms. Flies will not remain in a room

Is not this world the cradle of the soul,
In which we rock through restless infancy
To music of the spheresl At times we weep,
And long for baubles just beyond our reach,
Restrained from our desires, yet comforted
BY the great love which holds us. We rejoice
IN pleasant sounds mysterious to the sense
NOT yet awake TO Mother Natures speech:
We love the blue, sun-painted draperles
About us, and the corridors of green,
And view with rapt delight the beautiful
Glad faces of the stars which smile above,
Comforted, chided. nourished. we abide.
And know not whence We come TO this new life
Nor whittier we shall go. But in the grave
I'VE lay aside our robes of infancy:
Then do we grow in stature, we are strong
We walk abroad, and live the life we dreamed.

heard two beggars sing to-day:
Two beggars, clutching from the throng
Gruded aims. No soul was in their song.
Beasts hungered, scOurged by cruel thong,
We're like them as they shrunk along;
Suoh wild, fierce choristers were they.

They sang of love when day was done:

AS glorified their lay. won
Songs best revealment made to men.
