THE Split PEARLS.


ARCHBISHOP TRENCH.
His courtiers of the Caliph crave
"0h, say how this may be,
That, of thy slaves, this Ethiop slave
Is best beloved by thee!
"For he is hideous as the Night;
But when has ever chose
A nightingale, for its delight,
A hueless, scentless rose 2
The Caliph then-"No features fair
Nor comely mien are his;
Love Is the beauty he doth wear,
And Love his glory is.
Once when camel of my train
There fell in narrow street,
From broken casket rolled amain
The pearls before my feet.
Iwinklng to my slaves, that /
Would freely. give them these,
At once upon the spoil they ny,
The costly boon to seize.
One only at my side remained
Beside this Ethiop, none;
He, moveless as the steed he refined,
Behind me sat alone.
"what will thy gain. good fellow, be,
Thus lingering at my side 2
my King, that l shall faithfully
Have guarded thee p he cried.
"True servants title he may wear,
He only who has not,
For his Lords gifts, how rich soccer,
His Lord himself forgot!"
So thou alone dost walk before
Thy God with perfect aim,
From him desiring nothing more
Besides himself to claim.
For IL thou not to him aspire,
But to his gifts alone,
Not love, but covetous desire,
Hath brought thee to his throne,
While such thy prayers, 1t climbs above
In vain-the golden key
OF Gods rich treasure-house of love
Thine own will never be.

WHY He WOULD HAVE AN EXPENSIVE
FUNERAL-"Pve been thinking" said a mi.
serly man, lover the extravaganza we see
every day in the funerals ofthe poorer classes.
It's all wrong. See here, I've got it all
figured out here-so much for the undertaken,
so much for the clergyman, so much for the
grave-just look at it. A laboring man can't
afford to have death in his family at that
figure. l tell you it's all wrong"
Eyes, know" responded the other, "but
still, when you die you will have the most
expensive funeral ever seen in these parts. +"
"Why how's that ?" exclaimed the close
listed fellow, at the same time flushing with
pleasure at the supposed complimentary in
tention. 81 have the most expensive funeral
ever seen here? How SOP"
"Why because" sturdily came the expla-
nation, because, sir, they'll have to hire the
mourners"

Mr.. w 8 Cole in his "Americap Frp;,

MIR. w. s. Cole, in his american Fruit
Book" an interesting little work of thirty
years ago, says: "a farmer would not plant
an orchard under the belief that he would
not live to eat the fruit. His son was of like
mind: But grandson planted for postelity,
and both father and grandfather enjoyed the
fruit for years, along with the more consider
ate grandson.

Nearly $l4,OOO,0OO worth of cattle are
now grazing in what six years ago was
absolutely Indian country in Texas. "Graz-
ing" is becoming popular as it is very
profitable pursuit, and from the rate at which
it is increasing our supply of beef will be
greater than ever in comparison with popula-
ton, and the price must come down and
stay down.

that their multiplying is spoken of AT some

PEOF. HUXLEY, in an address at
the international fisheries exhibi-
ton, pointed out that an acre Of
good fishing ground will yield
more food in a week than An acre
of the best land will yield in a
year. Still more striking was the
moving '.'mouutain of cod," 120 to
l30 feet in height, which for two
months in every year moves west
ward and southwark past the Nor
wegian coast. Every square mile
of this colossal column of fish con-
tains 120,O00,0O00, consuming ev-
cry week, when on short. rations,
no fewer than S40,OOO,0OO of her
ring. The whole catch of the
Norwegian fisheries never exceeds
in a year more than half square
mile of this "cod mountain" and
one weeks supply of the herrings
needed to keep that area of cod
from starving.

AMERICAN mothers have ac-
quired some reputation for skill
and energy in connubial manage
~ment in behalf of their daughters,
says a writer in Chambers Jour-
nal. A Partisan newspaper some
time ago recorded an exceedingly
clever bit Of matchmaking, execu.
ted by an American lady of tn is
order in brilliant style. Her
eldest daughter had sailed from
New York with some friends for a
tour of Europe, and after "doing"
the continent had returned to the
French capital for several months
of rest and pleasure. Attractive
and clever, she had many suitors,
some more, some less desirable.
She could not marry then all. so
she adroitly reduced the number
to two-the best of the lot, of
course. Then she wrote home to
her mamma, explaining the exact
situation of affairs, adding that
they were both so handsome,
agreeable, well connected and rich
that she could not decide be-
tween them, and closed with
the question:. "Eyhat shall /
do:" Ten days later she
received a cablegram from man.
ma: 81 sail tomorrow; hold
both till | come" The next trans
atlantic steamer brought Mrs.
Blank with her second daugh-
ter, just turned eighteen,
and fresh from school. On
her arrival the Old lady at
once took the helm Of affairs, and
steered so deftly through the dan
gerous waters that in a few weeks
she had reached port with all col
ors flying. To drop metaphor,
she attended the wedding of her
two daughters at the American
chapel on the same morning.
After due examination she had
decided that neither of the nice
fellows should GO out of the fam.

Minneapolis Mills and Nc
Hard Wheat

Fargo Republican : While Mime
apolis is trying to fight down the price
of No. hard by running the softer
wheat through her mills, she is practi-
cally cutting other own nose to spite
her own face. She could have the
hard wheat of the north b. paying
for it and hold her prestige for sur
perior flour, but 10y permitting this
wheat to go east and reducing the
quality of her own flour by using an
inferior grade, she is literally choak-
ing her own Industry to death, all for
"penny wise AMI pound foolish
policy" She raises the standard Of
her competitors flour and lowers her
own, and it does not require the wis
dom of a Socrates to determine where
this policy will Land her if kept up
any length Of time. No. har.l V heat
has an intrinsic value on the scale Of
merit that is bound to seek and find
it's proper place in the market, and
the quicker Minneapolis mi;lers re-
cognize this fact, the better it will be
for the entire business comm unity Of
Minnesota. Even if, us tho Pioneer
suggests, the farmers Sort!l of the
forty-sixth parallel succeed in rui5ing
No. hard wheat from No. hard seed
it is not to be supposed that they have
patriotism enough for the milling in
terests of Minneapolis to sell their
productions for any less than they
can avoid. The average farmer is not
that kind of man. He proposes to
get all he can for his wheat, and if a
New York mill will pay him more
for his produce than a minneapolis
mill, the New York concern will get
every bushel oft.

OREGON WHEAT.

Last week there was a shipment of
seventeen cars Of wheat, containing
$500 bushels, received at Duluth, from
Oregon, on the Pacific coast, over the
Northern Pacific railroad. Oregon
has, in doing this, paid our state and
lines Of transportation high compli-
ment, and one Of which we should
feel proud. 1t was thought quite
probable that grain would be shipped
to, or through our state, from Monta-
Ia, and perhaps from the northern
part of Idaho, but few were prepared
to see such consignment of wheat as
this, coming all the way from Oregon
to find a market here. 1t is probably
the best wheat raised there, for it is
not supposed they would send any but
this SO far, and yet it does not grade
up to our No. hard. If Oregon in
tended in this shipment to compete
with Minnesota in raising wheat, she
will have to try it again, as she shot
wide of the mark this time.

The Golden Spike Stolen.

Curiosity has been expressed as to
how the golden spike driven with
great ceremony at the connecting OF
the two ends of the line of the North
ern Pacific road would he preserved
from thieves, who would he apt to
pull the precious piece of metal cut of
its quarters and carry off the valuable
treasure. 1t would take a whole cav
airy of detectives to keep it in its
place on the open prairie if left there.
And now comes the news that it is al
ready stolen. Yes, stolen, but the old
man Willard himself was {; party to
the transaction. No sooner were the
ceremonies completed and attention
directed to other quarters when work.
men detailed for the purpose, pried
out the spike, carried it away, and
presented the same to one of Wizards
friends under the directions of the
President. 1t will remain valuable
relic, but not left in the wilds of Mon
tana to taunt the greed ofthe envious
cOWboy.-EX.

PRICE OF WHEAT rs TOO
LOW.

We understand that we are soon to
have wheat buyer at this point who
will pay the Duluth price, less freights,
storage and charges, to that place from
here. 1t seems that the prices paid
here so far this season, have been fixed
by the Millers' Association, and have
been, and are now, from three to six
cents below the Duluth price. Six
cents bushel is fine price to get for
purchasing a wheat ticket, but it is
rather cruel to squeeze the poor farmer
to that extent. 1t can be easily deter
mined what wheat has been worth
every day, and what should have been
paid for it here, by simply deducting
sixteen cents from the Duluth price,
which on Monday was from 81 O4 to
$l.04 for No. hard; deducting six
teen cents from the lowest, $1O4, and
it gives us the Duluth price here, and
what should have been paid here, IS
cents; and as we understand it, 50
cents was the highest price paid here,

HAD THE VERDICT.
hut Wouldn't Make 1t Public Until
They Had Their Fees.

BURL1NGAME, Kas., Oct. Gin criminal
case before Justice Weber, at Lyndon, the
jury retired to make up verdict. Upon re-
turning to court the justice asked if
they had agreed upon a verdict The
foreman replied that they had, but
would not render it until their fees as jury
men were paid; that they had been taken
from their business and made involuntary at
tendants at the trial; that they considered
their rights as important as those involved
in the trial; that frequently they had lost
the small fees to which they were entitled by
law, and would not give a verdict
until they got their money The court in
sisted, but the jury held that while the law
compelled them to sit as jurors, it did not
compel them to render verdict, and they
would not do so until paid their fees. The
parties to the case consulted and paid the
money. The jury then returned their verdict
and were discharged.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1883-10-10

We have experts all through the
country, for the express purpose OF
keeping up our bear department, and
we are determined to do it, if we have
to have every bear in the state killed
none are to weigh less than 300. The
st. Cloud Journal-Press furnishes the
next one under the contract. 1t will
be observed that it takes two men to
kill this one:
Mr.. Jos. Refs and Mr.. VIM. Besnius
killed last night, on the farm of the
latter, four miles from this city, large
bear, which weighed when brought to
town this morning, dressed, 800
pounds. The carcus was bought by
Kraemer & Schmidt.
In continuation of this subject, the
Princeton Union gives us the follow
ing:
Mig Townsend, of Princeton, aged
II years, killed four hundred pound
bear recently with knife, in his
fathers corn-field.
1t will be observed here, that sc ;ence
has become reversed, which takes
place only in seasons Of cyclones, and
that small boy, as boys sometimes
are, only twelve years old, killed with
a knife bear weighing 400 pounds.
What is most peculiar about this is,
that small boy killed large bear,
while it took two men in the first case
to kill one 100 pounds smaller. The
untimely death of the other fifty bears
reported to us are not mentioned, as
none of them go over 299 pounds.
