Quite the right thing seems.
Brownsh hair she has, and curly;
And face-no, 'tisn't surly, u -
But like one walked up too early
BY the breakfast bell;
WaXen face it is, not clay,
Painted in a marvellous way, iif

Though no smile they tell.

Finished at the ends with quilting e.

And never tried to grow.
When we played, and she lay rocking,
Allour callers who came knocking
Dld not know that shoe nor stocking ID.
She could never wear; 80
They would think, to see her head
On its snowy pillow Ia d.,
That she had been honest made

Praised old Grandma's head.
Laid away in state and honor,
With her silken gown upon her,
And quilt as old, or older,
Covering all but head and shoulder,
Grandma rests to-day.

Which we played with when our skies
Wore the blue of May?

the order abandoning the strike was re-
ceiyed, thus making the action unani-
nous. The large number Of strikers who
sought reinstatement in Western Union
employment on Thursday had marked
effect in bringing in other applicants. A
large number of old hands have made
application for reinstatement. In each
case there was pretty severe reprimand
administered before permission was given
to resume the abandoned key. In some
instances the applicants were rejected
though in no case was it acknowledged
that the rejection was due to the efforts
of the man in the strike-the rejection
in every case being laid to incompetency
as an operator, or to ineficiency through
drinking habits. In a few cases it wal
said that the specially covered by thu
man was well taken care of by a new
hand and that the company did not wisf
to make change. Matters were yer,

A Reminescense.

The visit of Senator Beck, Of Kentucky
to the National Park recalls joke on
that excellent congressman:
One day Beck and ex-Gov. Magofin
visited Mai. Daviess, near Harrodsburg,
and the Major brought out some prize
whisky. Beck sampled it straight first,
then sought for it's merit in toddy, and
again tried it with little ice and mint
added. Meanwhile the governor slipped
it in the shape of grog. They would
agree in regard to only one point, that
the liquor was good, in fact, very super
ior liquor. The senator pronounced 1t
McBrayer, the governor insisted that it
was the D. L. Moor (known as the Cold
Water1 brand. The senator said it was
fully pine years old, the governor limited
it to six. The senator imagined it tasted
Just a little of iron, while the governor
thought if there was any foreign flavor
it was that of leather. At this point the
host observed: Gentlemen, there's only
a gallon left in the barrel; there was
nearly three when you came; will have
it brought up and opened and let you see
for yourself there is no adulteration in
my whisky"
The barrel was brought up and the
head knocked out, and after straining the
remnant of whisky there was found in
the dregs of charcoal a small iron key,
with leather string tied to it.
The Major exclaimed again: BY
George, gentlemen, you are the best
judges of liquor IN the world. There's .
key proving there was iron in it, and
leather showing Magoffin was right, and
as for the brand you see it is a D. L.
Moore barrel, but I recently poured a
five-gallon jug Of seven-year-old Nc
Brayer into it, so you are both right,
gentlemen, in every particular, except in
regard to its age, and you didn't miss
that very far. Let's smile again" And
they smiled again.

The sales of land by the Northern Pa
cific railroad for the fiscal year ending
June 3Oth, 1883, was 76l ,26l acres;
amount realized, $3,O5s,O4s. From the
sale of town lots during the year $3.50, III
making a grand total of $3,3s2,s19 as
against a total for the year 1882 Of 81 ,6o9,-
33S for the year 1882. These figures
speak volumes for the way this great cor
poration is settling up the country and
bringing into market vast tracts of land,
which were of no practical value until
the road opened up the country, giving
homes to settlers and furnishing means
of conveying their products to market.
This is but beginning of the opening
up to settlement that vast expanse Of
country now included in the territories
of Dakota, Montana, Idaho and WASH
ington, a territory of sufficient area out
of which to carve a dozen prospective
states of this Union. The immense
value of this road in the near future can
scarcely be estimated, as we dare say,
there is not fifty miles along its entire
route, that will not pay tribute to it. II
will always remain the great through
highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific
with numerous lateral branches and
feeders both North and South over this
! immense area.

The A. 0. U. ".

For the past three months the Ancient
Order of United Workmen of this juris-
diction have been making extraordinary
efforts to secure q membership of 1900,
in order to secure separate beneficiary
jurisdiction for this Grand Lodge juris-
diction, which is composed of Nevada,
Montana, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho
The special incentive for the effort is the
fact that when 80 set apart the member
ship will only be liable for assessments
on deaths occurring within their own
jurisdiction, which is conceded by all
well informed upon the subject, tobe the
healthiest jurisdiction in the Union.
August 18th was fixed as the date for
receiving official statements from Lodges,
upon which to found an application for
the separation.
From reports received by Grand Mas
ter Workman, J. w. Kinsley, it was
ascertained that there were over 2,1OO
Master Workmen on the rolls of the
several lodges.
The following kilograms passed between
Grand Master Workman Kinsley and
Supreme Master Workman Fish on the
18th, and it will be seen that this long
looked for object has been accomplished:
