AZ LITTLE COAT.
[Lnnnes Whitcon1h Riley

flames Whitcomb Riley.l
Here's his raGge Roundabout"
Turn the pockets inside out
See, his penknife, lost to use,
Rusted Shut with apple juice;
Here, with marbles, top and string,
Is his deadly "devil-sling,"
With its rubber, limp at last
As the sparrows of the past.
Beeswax, buckles, leather straps
Bullets and box of caps
Not thing Of all, guess,
But betrays some waywardness-
Fen these tickets, blue and red,
For the Bible verses said
Such as this his mem'ry kept
"Jesus wept."
Here a fishing hook and line,
Tangled up with wire and Irvine,
And dead angle worms, and some
Slugs Of lead and chewing gum,
Blent with scents that can but come
From the oil of rhodium.
Here-a soiled yet dainty note,
That some little sweetheart wrote,
Dotting-"Vine grows round the stump"
And--"My sweetest sugar lump!"
Wrapped in this-a paddock key
Where he's filed touch-hole--seel
And some powder in quill
Corked up with liver pill,
And Spongy little chunk
Of "punk."
Here's the little coat-but o!
Where is he we've censured 500
Don't you hear us calling, dears
Backl Come back, and never fear
You may wander where you will,
Over orchard, field and hill,
You may kill the birds, or do
Anything that pleases you'll
All! this empty coat of hisl
Every latter worth a kiss
Every stain as pure instead
As the white stars overhead;
And the pockets-homes were they
OF the little hands that play
Now no more-but, absent, thus
Beckon us.

The E5rst Families in Cattle.


While our export Of grain is not all that
can be desired, prophets of evil may under.
stand that the increase of our American
herds Of cattle is such as to absorb the sur,
plus grain and supply meat to the world.
There are over q, 600 head of full-blooded
Jersey cattle in the United States, whereas
we had none whatever little more than
thirty years ago. Some of these cattle are
bringing sums Of money that make the tulip
craze in Holland some hundreds of years ago
insignificant. The greatest cow on this con-
tinent is Mary Ann, of st. Lambert's, which
made 720 pounds of butter in 24S consecutive
days. All this fine Jersey butter is worth SO
cents a pound.
There have been imported into America or
bred here $500 Jersey bulls and 19, 900 COWS
A bull called Stoke Pogis ", belonging to
Sebley & Miller, at Franklin, Pa, could not
be bought month ago for $4,000. The
same gentlemen paid ST., 500 to A. B. Darling
for the bull Michael Angelo when he was six
weeks old. Under the name of Jerseys are
included cattle from Alderney and Sark. The
price has greatly gone up in those islands on
account of fancy herding both in England
and America. Some other American fan
ciers buy Holsteins, the Polled Angus breed
of Scotland, the Galloways and the Here
fords. Most of our express company kings
are cattle herders, and the forwarding of
these animals by express involves quite
little item of money.

A RICH CHlNAMAN.
AN UncomnlOnly Shrewd Business
Elan and General Labor Agent

Exam and General Labor Agent
Ell Paso Cor. Inter-O ocean,
A story has been going the rounds of the
press for several months to the effect that
the richest Chinaman in America lived at Ell
Paso, and was worth S4,00U,000 1t is too
bad to spoil such a charming story, but it
isn't true. The pagan in question lives at Ell
Paso, there is no doubt about that, and is
very wealthy in comparison VITA the rest OF
his race, but his pile is nearer $50 600 than
the enormous sum attributed to him. his
name is Sam Hing, and he has shop near
the depot where Chinese goods, cured meats,
and canned fruits are sold.
He is handsome gentleman, is Sam Hing,
and is clad in raiment of the finest texture
and the most gorgeous colors. He talks Eng
lish fluently, has most pleasing manners, and
is said to be an uncommonly shrewd business
man. He represents one of the six compa-
MES of San Francisco in supplying labor for
the Texas Pacific and Sunset railroad lines,
and had the contracts for feeding the con.
struction gangs along both roads. His sub
agents are at important points and have the
double duty and responsibility of looking out
for the coolies, whose labor has been leased
by him, and Of giving them their daily al
lowance of rice and rats. He also furnishes
coolies for work in the neighboring mines
and has several thousand in his employ.
When mining operator or a railroad con-
tractor wants q gang Of men he goes to Sam
Hing and makes o contract for SO many
coolies, at SO much day, the price varying
from so cents to $1.25, according to the char
acter of the labor performed He produces
the given number on the day named, and be-
comes responsible for their industry and good
behavior. Where they come from and how
he gets them no one knows, but, like the myr
midons that rise through the trap-doors under
the wand of the necromancer in the "BlaciS
Crook" they appear at the hour appointed
Their wages are paid in bulk to Sam Hing
and he settles with them. What proportion
they get is not known, but they are never
dissatisfied, and it is useless in this country
for any one to attempt to hire Chinamar
without consulting Sam Hing. He is die
tator among them, and they all recognize his
authority. IL citizen wants cook or any
other servant of the pigtail persuasion, it is
necessary for him to make his negotiations
through the agent He is also said to own
or in some mysterious manner to control, the
Chinese laundries, which are numerous il
this country.
We met one of Sam Kings sub-agents at a
little town along the road, and spent an houl
in conversation with him. He told us thai
he "likee Mclean man belly muchee but nj
illee cowboy"
Cowboy no good" observed the follower
of Confucius; "too muchee whislee; too
nuchee shootee; too muchee yellee. Wher
cowboy see Chineeman, cowboy heap yellee
when Chineeman see cowboy, Chineeman gc
off, keep quiet, till cowboy go away"

The most interesting feature of the fat
ladies' ball, held at Schlegels Orchestrion
hall was the following announcement: mo
ladies weighing less than 200 pounds will be
allowed in the promenade" The order was
strictly enforced by the committees, and
when the orchestra began the march fully
seventy-fve couples formed into line, all the
ladies weighing from 200 to 257 pounds.
When the dancing was fairly under way tina
floors shook from the unusual amount of
avoirdupois upon them, and it seemed tor
ture for the fat ladies to whirl around the
hall The waltz was the most amusing
dance. The fat ladies in selecting their part
ners would engage the smallest man they
could find. In fact, they were so small that
it was almost impossible to see them, as they
spun around to the music of the orchestra.
The programme, consisting of twenty-four
dances was not exhausted until very late
hour

Ortonville North Star: Whenever
you hear some loud mouthed dema-
gogue rail out against corporations,
soulless monopolies, etc, you may set
it down as fact that he would mo-
nopolize everything on the face of
Gods green earth if he only had the
power. Ifhe assures you that it is
the mony power that controls the
affairs of state and deprecates the use
of money in political affairs, you may
rest assured that he is in the market,

"Photograph-engraving said an art
dealer, "are photographs of paintings, en-
cravings, and statues 1t is distinct branch
of photography, and employs the highest
skill and brings out the wonderful improve
ments that the art has made. As soon as a
picture attans any note it is photographed
and copies of it made by the camera scat
tered over the earth. Their popularity is
already great and steadily widening, and ii
is interfering decidedly with the sale of en-
cravings, and it has swept the chrome out
completely. The sale is destined, l think,
to repeat the chrome craze To most per-
sons the photograph-cngravng is quite as
satisfying as the best engraving, while the
price is very much less~often 100 per cent.
We sell cabinet photograph of an engrav-
ing for cents. A photograph of the original
picture comes at 30 cents You can buy a
large-szed and very beautiful photograph for
SIS, and thus the price is brought within the
reach of most people who feel pictures to be
necessity in their homes"
"Where are the best photograph-engra
ings produced?"
"Not in this country. The French ones are
probably the BEST although the German and
also the English are very fine. There is a
depth of tone, a richness and reproduction
of details that apparently is not attainable in
American photographs. They are enabled
now to photograph very large pictures full
size, and to reproduce hfe-size figures about
three-quarter lengths, and in the process
bring out every detail as distinctly as the
knife of the engraver would do"
"Do artists whose pictures are photo
graphed get any OF the profits?"
"There is royalty fixed by the French law
on the pictures Of the French salon and
French artists gain by the sale of photo
graphic copies Of their works. In Other
countries artists get nothing, except in rare

veterans and the spectators reassembled
at the amphitheatre and listened to
the reading of poem by Will Carleton
and an grafton by Hon. Stewart L. Wood
ford, of New York. The cemetery, was
covered with floral tributes.
Three or four thousand persons visited the
Congressional cemetery, where the soldiers
graves were decorated under the supervision
of a committee of the Grand Army. Special
services were here held over the grave of Col.
The ceremonies at the Soldiers Home were
similar to those at Arlington. Hon. William
T. Price, of Wisconsin, was orator of the day,
and he had among his hearers q cluster Of
distinguished army and navy officers vet
Grams of the late war, some of them retired.
The Second Artillery band furnished appro-
pirate music.
Committees of the Grand Army visited
and decorated the graves at lakewood, Glen
wood and Battle Ground cemeteries and the
German Veterans union held memorial
services over the graves of the German
soldiers at Prospect cemetery. There
was no diminution Of former interest
taken in the day. All the monuments
in the numerous parks of the city are
wreathed with evergreens, and flags are
floating from all the public and many private
buildings
About 1000 excursionists, especially Grand
Army men, with their families, who had al
ready taken part in the commemoration here,
departed for the battle field at Fredericks-
burg. Va, where interesting ceremonies were
held.
CHICAGO, May 30.-The observance of
Decoration day here was general among the
members of the G.. A. r. and other societies.
The feature was procession of military and
civic societies which paraded the principal
streets and addresses at the Lake Front
park, where memorial column Of flowers
had been erected. Here also stand had been
built from which addresses were delivered by
Rev. DR.. Barrows and Emery A. Storrs.
Addresses were also delivered at the various
cemeteries in the vicinity Of the city, and
thousands Of people crowded all the lines OF
communication with the cities of the dead,
carrying flowers to plant and strew on the
graves Of those who died in the defense Of the
Union, and other departed loved ones.

This dark horse business is not as
popular as it used to be.
It is reported that Bierman, late
Democratic candidate for Governor,
has been sued by the publisher of a
Norwegian paper at Fargo for $3.50,

during the campaign last fall. From
this it would seem that Bierman don't

The first industry established in Pierre was

here for iron work, and a foundry and ma

buildings breaking plows for the farmers. and
do repair work on implements and steam
boats, would do a very profitable business.

Some time ago the Pioneer Press
spoke of Edwin Gribble as q" half i'm
beetle shyster." Mr.. Gribble sued the
P. P. for libel and obtained a verdict
for $1,000. The P. P. appealed but the
supreme court decides that this pom
pous paper must draw it's check for
that amount. Sinister comments up
on some people are expensive.
Much to the surprise of great many
who watched the progress of the con-
gressional contest in the Fourth Dis
trict the convention dropped both
Scheffer and Fletcher and nominated
Hon. J. B. Gilfillan, man who has
not participated in the fight and who
will be acceptable to both factions.
In so doing the Republicans of the
Fourth District acted wisely.
In speaking of w. D. Washburn,
Loren Fletcher says:
His own record shows that he has
deserted and turned upou every friend
the moment that friend declined long
er to obey his imperious behests-and
having abandoned old friends he has
then to attempted to make new COM
binations to crush out those who had
pulled him by main force from moth
ingness to what he now assumes to be.
Alas for greatness!
The st. Paul Globe speaks of Hon.
J. B. Gilfillan as an ice berg. No
doubt as soon as his nomination was
announced all of the Fourth District
Democrats began to feel chilly. They
had hoped for success this year but
when they knew that man had been
placed in nomination who will heal
all differences that have heretofore ex-
listed in Republican ranks and who is
worthy and will receive a large ma
.jority at the polls in November, their
hopes froze within them. Iceberg
is the mostappropriate term the Glot g
could think of.
