temperament and steady nerves, says:

Hattie Smell, a thirteen-year-old
girl living in St. townsville, N. Y, is
the originator of an interesting scheme
to build church. The Episcopal So
ciety were attempting to raise money to
build new church, and Hattie took
great interest in the project. She con-
ceiyed the plan of obtaining aid from
the statesmen at Washington, and she
wrote letters to nearly everybody whose
name appears in the Congressional Di-
rectory asking each to contribute few
bricks. Her plan was so novel and her
letters were written in such childish in
genuosness that the responses were
large. Among the contributors were
President Arthur, all the members of
the Cabinet, General Sheridan, Vice
President Ednuuds, Speaker Carlisle,
many of the Senators and large num-
Der of Congressman.

TEMPERANCE.
THE REIGN OF KING ALCOHOL.

A RECITATION.
Oh. this wicked old King
Is hatoful Old thing,
And he ruling our beautiful landl
His subjects are slaves,
he lowers and depraVes,
All! he sins with u very high hand.
Z Oh their bonds are so strong
Like chain or a thong,
And all too late they will learn
That greedy old thing
Is this wicked old King
And he wants every penny they earn.
In his dotage Is he,
You all will agree,
For he staggers and reels as he goes;
And his vile, bloated face
Has no feature OF grace
And he wears red patch on his nose.
But the women to-day
Are working away
At grave for this monster of sim
And some day I'm sure,
With intention most pure,
They IL manage 10 tumble him in.

A Bad Custom DYING Out.

"What has become of the witty, hail
fellow-well-met, good looking, noisy
chaps that were the typical drummers
of dozen years ago?" drank them-
selves to death mostly" said the vet
eran. "Some are in business for them
selves, some have survived and are at
it yet, but the majority have drank
themselves to death. Fifteen years ago,
when | first went into business, it was
a positive fact that the man who could
drink the most liquor could sell the most
goods. Merchants seemed TO expect it
when they saw drummer, either when
the drummer went in the country, or
the merchant came to New York. II I
had stayed in business then I'd have
been a dead man now. Now it's
changed, all except the New York part
Of it. A good many merchants, when
they strike the city, still expect to be
taken out on roaring spree, and don't
consider they've been treated square
unless they are carried to a hotel in q
cab and put to bed on the floor with their
clothes on. But in the country that
sort of thing is playing out. A mer-.
chant would be apt to feel insulted if
you tried to drag him out to drink. L
take a pocket full of cigars with me,
and when l think it is business offer
my man one of them; but, then, l go to
lots of places where would not do such
IA thing, and where it would not be
proper to smoke. ~ Y. Sun.

"A stone in the floor of the Virgins
Chapel, in Jerusalem, was lately found
to be broken. A great controversy
arose between the clergy as to which
had the right to replace it, The con-
test waxed warmer, until they seemed
likely to kill one another, when tho
Turkish troops interviewed.

THANKSGIVING GUESTS.

Not one, not one, is here
OF all who came
Eager, from many ways,
Bearing my fathers name.
A table scantly set,
A plate, a cup-nay, nay!
Twere not meet thus to keep
Thanksgiving Day.
A chair, a place for all
Who used to come.
Is il not still, as once,
The Children's home?
They will look down on me
And smile and say:
She still remembers, on
Thanksgiving Day.
And when the board is set
With fruits and meat,
Not hard il is to fill
Each vacant seat.
They come not back, and yet
| have "alway'
Gods poor to I'LL Their place,

4 ARaia ON the Ganabliaan Houses.

Truly it was a molly crowd which inhabited
the bastile last night. The little den was
filed and there was no sleep for the poor
turnkey. A concerted raid upon the
gambling houses did the business. 1t
was supposed that all gambling parlors in
which games of chance were dealt had been
closed as tight as a Saratoga trunk en- route
for summer watering place, and the Re
publican papers have repeatedly essayed to
convince our sanity law and order friends
of the correctness of that supposition. 1t
was a fallacy. The gambling houses have
been running just the same,
and the doors of the parlors have not been
locked. Chief West organized his raiding
force, with himself at the head as follows:
Sergeants, Nelson and Helm, Officers French,
Quinloa, and Norman. ct the house just
around the corner on Second avenue south,
a big haul was made. The establishment
was going at full blast, and twenty-one of
the boys placed in custody. But few of
them, however, are what is known as the
professional gamblers. Many are young men
about town, and more than
one anxious mother will say,
''Where is my boy to-night?"
Some were gambling, and some were meerly
spectators, but the officers knew no distinc-
ton, and could use no discrimination in the
discharge of the duty conferred upon them
by his honor the mayor. Those who had
chips cashed in, and then the chips were con-
fiscated.
The coon house on Third avenue south was
visited but by some peculiar means they had
got wind OF the coming storm, and all gam
bling had been suspended, although not few
of the gang were found hanging around, and
the officers were greeted with broad smiles
upon entering the lair of the proverbial
tiger. "Too Late" they sang in chorus.
Out on Western avenue, near Western
avenue bridge, three lonely men were cor
rallied and they contributed their presee to
the collection in the corridor.
Judge Donahue came to the rescue as
attorney, and Sullivan & Flanagan, as
sureties, and after some delay eight of the
unhappy crew were released on bonds to
appear in court this morning. Those who
remained in limbo over night were visited at
frequent intervals by colleagues, who con-
doled with them, but who could do nothing
more for them.

The Cincinnati Festival.

CINCINNATI, April 21.-The Cincinnati
piciously. The weather is cold and raw,
and the advance sale of seats has been ex-
tremely light. From the first Manager Miles
and the board of directors have been dis
heartened. The foods, the riot and the fail
ure to secure Booth or Irving dampened their
ardor, and now the weather is disagreeably
cold, and to the fact that counter attractions
are cutting in on their prospect is added a
feeling OF disappointment in the city
at the lack of stars Of greater
magnitude. They say that Modjeska,
Davenport, Keene and Robson and Crane
can be seen twice year in the same parts
they now play. Their present appearance is
of no especial moment or advantage to play
goers. This feeling has manifested itself for
some time, and the box sheet shows the
effects. Some have even gone so far as to
term the festival 'hippodrome."
Manager r. E. j. Miles says that this will
probably be the last dramatic festival that will
ever be held here, at least as far as he is
concerned. He says he is sick and
tired of doing all the work and getting
nothing but blame. The papers add to the
bewilderment OF outsiders by the most
laudatory notices of the stars and their parts
in the festival. This is to their interest, as
the proprietors are all upon the guaranty
fund for various amounts. The hotel and
trades people who were counting on large
influx of visitors are so disappointed, for the
incoming trains have brought few but pro-
fessionals for the festival. The circus COM
panies are in town and many are going to
their entertainments instead of to the Music
hall

Rain. Snow and SIeet.

ATch1soN, Kansas, April 21.-Snow has
been falling steadily nearly all day, but melted
as it fell Toward evening the snow turned
to rain, which is still pouring down. Reports
from northwestern Kansas say, the heaviest
snow storm of the year prevailed there on
Friday and Saturday last. Trains on the
Central branch of the Union Pacific road
were blockaded by drifts at several
points. 1t is also reported that stock
on the ranges suffered severely, and sheep
especially Jared badly. One man is said to
have lost 500 head. The season thus far has
been most favorable to winter wheat, which
promises a fine harvest. Reports from
nearly all parts of the state report heavy snow
or rain storms and in some cases sleet In
some sections water covers the fiat or low
grounds and farming operations are retarded
a week or ten days.

GOLDEN VALLEY MINES.
Claimed to be the Richest Ever
Found in the Rich Fields
OfCOIOradO.

DENVER, Col, April 21.-The excitement
over the new gold discoveries at Mt. Pisgah,
near Pixies Peak, is becoming intense. A
thousand men are already in camp, and
others are coming in all directions by hun
dreds. A miners union is formed and the
district is named 'Golden Valley.' Hun
dreds Of claims were staked yesterday. Sew
eral large companies are forming here. The
leading mining men are becoming convinced
the discoveries are genuine, and most i'm
portant in the history of the state. Leadville's
charge of sailing is believed groundless and
malicious. a Tribune representative tele-
graphs tonight: "It is not strictly placer
ground; it is gold bearing gravel in
gulches. Some of the places are cemented
into a hard mass, almost rock, while others is
quite free. Colors are often obtained by
washing. 1t bears a strong resemblance to
the dry places of New Mexico. Most Of the
gold is in combination, but the combina-
ton is not uniformly chemical. The best
opinion now is, that the placers will prove
only Of secondary importance compared with
the lodes sure to develop. The district is
very large. The rock is volcanic and all
charged with mineral. The district is GER
tainly of great possibilities. Several assays
made average about forty ounces Of gold
with a trace Of silver. Some have run much
higher"

Especial Telegram to the Globe. I

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Mr. Waslburn
to-day, made an argument before the river
and harbor committee in favor of the reser-
voir system at the head waters of the Missis-
sippi. He only asked for one-half of the
sum estimated by the engineers, cutting
down their demands from 5000, 600 to $780,
coo. The committee appeared to be favor
ably impressed with the statements and it
seems likely sufficient sum will be allowed
to practically complete the work now in pro-
gress. The sentiment of the committee
seems to be quite liberal towards to Missis-
sippi proper, but, against side issues such as
the Hennepin canal.
