TO MY MOTHER,
NIyETrA MARIA DINKGRAvE
DIED NOVEMBER 9Th 1883.

Sanctus! +! sanctus cried the angels,
Sanctus! sang man OF God:
And the gates of Heaven opened,
TO admit her to reward.
Soft the echoes tioated downward,
Sanctus! sanctus! from the skies;
And caught a glimpse of Heaven,
Where the pure and holy dwell,
Full of childhood's sweet emotions,
And the soul that never dies.
Resignation draw thy mantle
Over our stricken hearts;
Faith thou tender guide of humans,
Let us place our hands i'll thine;
Lead us TO the Heavenly portals
Where loves fairest flowers twine.
Safe within the gates OF amber
Where they softly swing ajar,
Lives our mother, good and holy
Heaven seemeth not so far,
Since our mother thus hath wandered
Where the blessed angels are.
Sanctus! sanctus! through the twilight,
Floats the burden of their strain,
And, altho, our hearts are heavy
With wild tumultuous pain,
We shall see her who loved us,
When the gates swing ont again.

Pert Townsend's Pioneer Gone.

DrED.--In this city, May 10, 1888, Alfred A.
Plummer ST., aged Bl years mos and ID days
The good people of this city were
shocked and sorely grieved this morning
to learn of the sudden demise of its hon
ored pioneer citizen. True, he had been
ailing for two months or more, but no
one was quite prepared for the worst.
MIR. Plummer was born at Alfred, Me.
March 3, 1922. He settled in Port Town
send, il we are correctly informed, in
1851, and was the first white settler in
the place--being followed soon after by
Messrs Pettygrove, Hastings, Ginger and
others. His little clearing and log hut
on the hill long remained to tell tale of
pioneer labor and a venture into u wild
country inhabited by savages. Here the
best years OF his life were spent, here his
entire family OF sons and daughters were
born and reared, here the wife Ofhis boz
ON labored at his side in an honored and
useful career; here he saw the fruits OF
patient effort crowned by agratifying re-
sult-a prosperous town grown up from
the small beginning started by his own
efforts.
Mr.. Plummer was not an Ostentatious
men, preferring rather to pursue that
even tenor so often crowned with success.
His friends and neighbors, whose name
is legion, sincerely mourn his death, and
realize that the place has therein sus-
tanned a serious loss. To the bereaved
family and relatives we extend out neaFt,
lest sympathy.

Windows from which a view may be had
of the principal ceremony of the corona

they have no suspicious articles on their
persons. They have been forbidden
carrying glasses into the buildings from
which views may be obtained, as they

Bunk Opinions.

WAsHINGToN, May D. The Attorney
General has given his opinion to the
Secretary of the Treasury that under the
provisions OF the Act approved March Sd,

and deposits of national banks since
the 1st day OF last January, and no tax
on capital and deposits Of state banks
or private banks since the 1st day of

says he is OF the opinion that duties are
not assessableand collectable on deposits

the date of the Act of March 3D., 1882,
and January 1st, 1888, nor on deposits

WASHINGTON, May 2l.--Ihe Southern
Pacific railroad company has recently
made application to the Secretary of the
Interior for lands originally granted the
Texas Pacific railroad company for the
construction OF its road. These lands
are claimed by virtue of an assignment
from the Texas Pacific company, which
has failed to construct the road for
which the grant was made and the basis
of the claim is, in this respect, similar to
that on which the New Orleans and Pa

originally to the Baton Rouge and Vicks

ARTICLES PROMISED FOR THE NEXT
OVERLAND An account of the Original
Discovery of the Comstock Lodeis prom
iscd in the Orerldnd Monthly for June.
The author, r. NJ. Buckle, was on the
ground at the time, and though not him
self possessed of the secret of the dis
covery, shared in the extraordinary chain
of adventures that he relates, by which
every possessor OF the secret was swept
from earth, and the great bonanza lett
for future discoverers. Much of the his
tory of our coast would have been diff
ierent had Hosea and Allen Grosh been,
as they so narrowly missed being, i'll the
place of Flood and O'Brien. Prof.
Leverett w. Spring, of the Kansas State
University, will relate some hitherto un-
published incidents Of John Browns life
during the border war in that State, I'M
der the title of "Catching Old John
Brown" This number will be especial
ly rich in the historical lore OF the early
West and Southwest; for i'll addition to
the two papers above mentioned, there
will be one upon the history Of the town
of Los Angeles, by Clara Spalding
Brown; and Chas. H. Shinn, now pur-
suing historical investigation at the
Johns Hopkins University, will contri-
butte paper on the Spanish Plots in
the old Southwest at the beginning Of
this century. The network of intrigue
laid bare by recent opening up OF State
papers has hitherto been only dimly I'm.
derstood by readers of history through
Aaron Burr's connection with it Other
entertaining papers will be Hon. Andrew
Nc +. Davis's sketch of Athletic Sports
at Harvard; lively Legend Of the Prus-
sian Peasantry, handed down to the
author by tradition; besides other
Sketches, Stories, and the Serials-one
OF which will come to q crisis in this
number. Prof. Josiah Royce, who,
though Californian, is now at Harvard
University will contribute one OF the
poems
