the circular, as n TO set their colored hands
against them, and some Of them he charged
with the most rascally conduct. Not satis-
fed with abusing those whose names were
on the paper, he went out OF his way 10
attack other good and honorable white
citizens. He said the circular contained
iorty-five lies, and the men who endorsed
II know they were lies. When he finished
reading and commenting on the document
he read the names OF the twenty-efght
signers second time, saying they were oil
q set OF "liars, scoundrels, and cowards."
Just think Of it : speaker denouncing
in that style twenty-eight OF our most re-
spected citizens and the negroes yelling
their applause with hellish delight. Can
anything be imagined better calculated to
bring on row? And yet those white
Democrats who heard the diabolical ha-
rangue and heard the shouts OF the ne
groes stood 1t. And they did it fer the
sake OF peace. 1t Is great wonder that
some man, infamed by the insults offered
to him and bis friends, did not offer vio-
lence to the speaker. Had he done so a
more bloody scene would have followed
than that which was enacted on the follow
ing day.
Thanks to the high sense Of duty OF our
law-abiding citizens and their love OF
peace, they bore it all, and not hair OF
Sims's head was touched. Moreover, they
permitted him TO get In buggy with
James Verser and drive out OF town next
day unmolested. They knew that il any
one OF them had attacked him it would in
all probability result in a general fight be-
tween the whites and blacks. We are glad
that it so happened, as it places our men In
the right.

| love all sights of earth and skies,
From flowers that glow to stars that shine;
The comet and the penny show,
All curious things, above, below,
Hold each In turn my wondering eyes;
claim the Christian Pagan's line,
Human nihil-even so--
And is not human life divine?
When soft the western breezes blow,
And stTolling youths meet sauntering maids
love 10 watch the stirring shades
Beneath the vallombrosa shades
Our much-endurng elms bestow;
The vender and his rhetoric's flow,
That lambent stream of liquid lies;
The bait he bangles from his line;
The gudgeon and his goid-washed prize.
halt before the blazoned sign
That bids me linger to admire
The drama time can never tire,
The little hero of the hunch,
With iron arm and soul of fire,
And will that works his fierce desire
Untamed, unscared, unconquered Punch!
Ny ear n pleasing torture finds
In tones the withered sibyl grinds-
The dame sans nerci's broken strain,
Whom erewhile, perchance, have known,
When Orleans filed the Bourbon throne,
A siren singing by the Seine.
But NEST love the tube that spies
The orbs celestial in their march,
That SHOWS the comet as 1t whisks
Its tail across the planets disks,
As if to blind their blood-shot eyes;
Or wheels so close against the sun
We tremble at the thought of risks
Our little, spinning ball may run,
To pop like corn the children parch,
From summer something overdone,
And roll, a cinder, through the skies.

THE OLD WASHERWoMAN.
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.

See, busy with her linen there,
Yes, buster far than all her peers,
In spite of age and snow-white hair,
In spite of six-and-seventy years,
An ancient woman who has gained
The daily bread which life demands,
Within the sphere that God ordained,
BY sweat of brow and toll of hands.
She in her youth has had her day,
Has loved, and hoped, and met her mate,
Has walked along her woman's way,
Grim care still following, sure as fate,
Has borne her husband children three;
Has nursed him in sickness sore,
Her faith and hope undimmed, when he
Sank to his rest for evermore.
Children must bred and nourished be
She bravely buckles TO her task;
Reared them TO honest industry,
Best heritage the poor can ask
Then with her dear ones she must part;
To seek their fortunes forth they fare,
And still the old and lonely heart
Blesses, and waits with courage there.
With careful savings fax she bought
And stinted sleep her fax to spin
Fine yarn her thrifty hands have wrought,
And to the weaver carried in.
He wove a web of linen fair;
She brought the needle and the shears,
And her own fingers sewed with care
The last straight garment woman wears.
Last labor of life complete,
She shrines 1t in a chosen place;
Strange treasure is a winding-sheet;
To house as in a jewel-case!
On Sundays tits her first array,
1t prints Gods Word within her breast;
Thus she forestalls her burial day,
When in its folds she lies at rest.
May /, when eventide draws on,
Like this poor woman, see fulfilled
The allotted task, the battle won,
Within the lines my God hath willed!
When life's mixed cup is drained at last,
Like hers my memories pious be,
That / may look, when time has passed,
As kindly on my shroud as she.

Mavericks.
Laramie Boomerdng.

A few years ago, when cattle were Of little
value as compared with the present, when
there were no pastures and the stock roamed
around at liberty far and wide. and upen a
thousand hills, the custom of marking and
branding unmarked stock from year old
and upwards, was privilege that by general
use became almost law among stockmen.
The right to brand and mark stock of the
age mentioned was undisputed until the in
sigma of some mans stock possessions were
placed upon them. But this custom has
about been consigned to the past, as one Of
the practices which grew up under its loose
and unbuslness-like system. In those days
no particular name was applied to this young
stock, but now they are termed maverick" /"
and the origin Of the term is thus told by the
Fort Worth Lire Stock Journal
1.-THE term maverick was derived from
the late Samuel A. Maverick, of this city, and
one of the most honored citizens Of the re-
public, and the State afterwards. In early
times, Mr. Maverick established stock
ranch on Matagorda bay and placed couple
of negroes in charge of the cattle. They
were trifling, and paid no attention to the
cattle, and hundreds Of animals grew up un-
marked and unbranded. Finally Mr.. Nav
erick concluded to sell out his cattle, and
found . purchaser In the person of the late
Major Toutont Beauregsrd, brother of the
die, o,iognfabad Copfadarafa Cararay - 49,,
resided near what is known as the Conquista
crossing Of the San Antonio river, about fifty
miles south Of this city. Mr.. Beauregard re-
ceived the cattle, paid for them; they were
turned loose on the range and wandered all
over the surrounding country. Many per-
sons then did not brand and mark stock, dis.
tinquishing them as their own mainly by
their colors and forms and the ranges they
ffequented. Mr.. Reauregard's stock being
Unmarked End unbranded, and mixing with
other peoples stock, II was found necessary
TO put his mark and brand upon them, which
he employed men to do. When the men
W ent to their work people who met them on
the prairies would ask, what are you do
ing" The reply would be given, I'VE are
marking and branding the Maverick stock
purchased by Mr.. Beauregard.' Therefore
when an animal unmarked and unbranded
was fonnd, the finder would exclaim That
Is maverick and soon all began to follow
suit, marking and branding as described.
This Is the true origin Of the term"

THE QUEENS LONELINESS.
A Pathetic Aspect of the Personal Position
b.. Of Engiand's Queen.
London Spectator.

There is something very touching and
mother-like In the frankness with which the
Queen, through the Court Circular, asks her
people to sympathize In the grief she feels
for the loss OF devoted attendant. We
wonder how many of her subjects ever re-
fleet on the pathetic element In the Queens
present position. There Is no one living
who could address her by her Christian
name, or, indeed on any terms of equality,
while all her children but one are married,
scattered, immersed In business and house,
holds of their own. 1t is lonely peak 10
SIT on, at the top Of the world, and as age
draws on the Sovereign, who already has
reigned so long that men passing middle age
have consciously known no other, must feel
this more and painfully, with sadness
which the movement of the world does not
diminish. We are no devotees of monarchy,
gravely holding self-government to be more
educative and more dignifed, but there has
never been In history q reign like that of
Queen Victoria, who, surrounded by an i'm
penetrable etiquette, breaks 1t to tell her
people that devotion, even In the humblest
Of her followers, has reused in her "real
friendship" Republicanism in England
sleeps and will sleep while the Queen relgns.

LOCK PICKING,
How Experts Handle the Wire.

Washington Capitol.
A committee appointed to select suitable
lock for use on bonded cars was In session
the other day at the Treasury Department.
Many styles of locks were offered by inven-
tors and manufacturers, each If which was
claimed to have special good qualities. One
inventor offered lock which he said could
not possibly be opened without the key.
One Of the committee was Mr.. Harley, OF
the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing, who
is an expert on locks. He examined the
lock in question while the inventor was ex-
tolling 1t, and then quietly said, at is good
lock, but, then, any lock can be picked.'
"This one cannot" said the inventor, "I
am ready TO give any man who will open 1t
without key and without breaking it
$1,000 in cash." ~ don't want your 81 900.
said Mr.. Hartley, "bnt will pick your lock-,
He then looked up q small piece Of wire, and
was about TO commence operations. The In
ventor said he had better 60 with him into
private room. "No," said Harley, "I will do
1t right here" and so he did. In three min
utes he laid the wonderful lock open Ia the
inventors hand. his only tool having been
the little bit Of wire.
This incident recalled the story of another
lock which had been used for years upon
u. s. mail pouches, and which was consid-
cred almost perfect In It's combination OF
strength, simplicity, and safety against pick
ing, and yet an ignorant negro, employed to
carry the mail from Bennettsville, 8. c., 10

robbed the mall for several months. Every
body had been suspected but him, because
he, not having key, was supposed never TO
have had access TO the letters. But decoy
