StOrks in Holland.

In Holland. Storks are never injured or
disturbed: often one may find upon a
housetop, a cartwheel or some other con-
by its attractiveness in size and appear
ance to erect thereon stork homestead
and so leave to the courteous family with
in doors. unmolested enjoyment of CHM
ney and chimney top. If by chance or
special fancy. the grand old birds appro-
pirate that portion of the dwelling so
essential in case a fire is needed it makes
sad work for the shivering household,
and so with wise forecasting. endeavor is
made to accommodate their stork friends
elsewhere.
Huge stork's nests are often seen
perched on the roofs of farmhouses, and
even the owners of palatial homes, feel
honored by the presence of a stork's nest
among the inviting corners of their ample
residences. To kill stork is regarded
as crime. In the cities and towns of
Holland. tame storks may be seen. walk
ing about in the fish-markets, where with
delicate attention, a house like dog-ken-
mel has been built for them They are
tenderly cared for at public expense, for
the same reason that bears are kept at
Berne, and eagles at Geneva, because the
arms of the Hague are stork."
About the middle of August. large
company of storks migrate to a southern
climate, taking the young members of
| their households with them. In Nav
they return to their old haunts, and settle
down, as do their human friends. after a
summers jaunt.

Journalism In DeadwOOd.
DIFFICULTIES UNDER WHICH THE BLACK
HILLS EDITOR LABORs.

Journalism in the Black Hills is not al
ways the most pleasant occupation to be
followed. | remember several years ago,
when Deadwood, ..camp" and not a city
in any sense. was wild and often lawless.
and all nights were hideous, that an elec-
ton was held, the first, believe. follow
inc the organization of counties. Two
tickets were in the field-a Peoples"
and the regular Republican ticket. The
Times championed the former and the
Miner the latter. The editor of the Times
had graduated from one of the largest
metropolitan offices the east, was young,
energetic, and possessed "sand." He
dished it up for the boys at a lively rate,
and, as a result, much bad blood was
speedily manifested. As the campaign
progressed proceedings became more and
more interesting. as shot after shot daily
passed between the rival organs, until the
climax was reached day or two before
election, when the Times came out with
double -leaded article alleging that the
opposition ticket included a government
defaulter, an escaped convict and one
other whose particular depravity as al
legged | cannot now recall. The paper
declared its statement absolutely true, rs
it was prepared to demonstrate if neces-
sarv. No names were mentioned, and,
therein rested the aggravation or particu-
lar offence of the article, ,inaslnuch as each
one of the is individuals composing the
ticket arrogated the reflections to himself
and felt called upon to resent it. Seeming
war, the editor Immediately upon the ap
pearance of the sheet, passed down the
rear stairway and proceeded to his hotel,
but was there only a minute or two when
he was summoned by messenger to the
office. He complied with fear and trem-
bling and found the sanctum in the posses
sion OF set of the widest, most bolster
Gus and demOnstrative set of men he had
ever met. They were mad clear through,
and DO sooner espied the shivering scribe
than they proceeded with their compl
ments. They had called they said,to clean
out the office-to teach the miserable quill

impunity, or anything else land they were

pointed sheriff. Bullock, the Peoples"
nominee, and a>posse crowded into the
room. firearms in hand, and after much
parleying, but no violence. dispersed the
mob. All night long and for several days,
the office was barricaded with bundles of
print-paper, while compositors worked
with shotguns and rifles conveniently near
their cases in expectation of an attack.
Such was never made, and in time the
affair blew over.

For five-and- twenty years
Its grief and giadness, JOY and care
An ever shifting scene.
With sudden shadows everywhere,
And sunny gieams between
Clasp hands once more; the bridal vow
Low breathe d in happy youth,
Recurs with fuller meaning now
That time has tried its truth.
For then was giadnese-au to brief
And then q sudden gloom.
And in our hearts bitter grief,
And at our feet tomb.
For We, who sharpest pain have met,
Where life by death was crost,
In this calm hour. remember yet
Our dearest, loved and lost.
Well, some are taken, some are LETT,
And theirs is toll and care;
But tha; one gift, so quickly reft.
Seemed xhat We least could spare
Yet leave the pa-t-be ours to-day
Sweet peace in heart and mind;
Though much from life was swept away
Yet much remains behind.
The higher aim, the stronger viii,
The perfect love survives.
And, parifea BY sorrow. still
Makes music in our lives.
For like stream that frets and leaps
Adown the mountain sides,
But, nearing the OCEANS unknown deeps,
With smoother surface giides,
SO life, once stirred by passions force,
Tumultuous, boundless, free,
Flows now, with calm, unyarying course
Toward the peaceful sea.

Counterfeiters Arrested.

DETROIT, MICH. June 14.-A gang
of counterfeiters who have been
operating in Genesee and Shewese
counties, in this state, have
Just been broken up by the arrest of
three of the principal men engaged in
the business; an old man named John
Daniels, at Flint, and Asa Davis and
wife, at Corunna. Daniels had some
$50 spurious money on his person
when he was taken. There is little
doubt he is an old hand at the BUSH
ness. He halls from Pennsylvania.
He was taken into the United States
court to-day, pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to the penitentiary for ten
years. The other parties pleaded not
ouilty.

PENNSYLVANIA BANK.

PITTsBURG. June 13.-A hearing
was had this morning in the cases of
Thomas o. Watson, oil broker, and
Cashier Reiber, charged with con-
spring to defraud the Pennsylvania
bank. President Riddle was indicted
on information, but waived hearing
and gave bail. The testimony was
mainly a repetition of facts already
published, but tended to show that
Riddle, Watson s. Richer were asso-
ciated in oil speculatious
and the over-drafts of, the
fictitious firms represented their
in oil. One of the ficti-
tious accounts opened with an over
draft of S125, 600, and at the close the
bank was over 100000 overdrawn.
L. J. Watson's individual account was
made by direction of President Rid
die, and Richer was cognizant of the
condition of the accounts. The testl-
mony for the defense will be heard
next Friday. Assignee Warner stated
ne was getting the affairs of the bank
n shape, and it is now thought that
instead of paying 2 cents he will pay
% gents on the dollar.

Bank SUSPENDED.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 49,
The doors of the state bank of West
Virginia, in this city, closed this
morning; liabilities, $119,O OO-assets
reported, $4,000. The principal
losers are poor people
who had small sums deposited. Many
ugly rumors are afoat on the streets.
The supposition is that the bank will
pay so per cent, but it is doubtful if it
pays over 20 per cent. This bank has
been considered weak for some time,
but citizens continued to deposit with
it. The officials of the bank received
deposits yesterday up to o'clock in the
evening. Depositors are anxiously
awaiting an investigation. The state
of West Virginia had $1,000 deposited
with this bank. Excitement runs
high and but little business has been
done here to- day.
A slight run was made on the Kan
awha Valley bank, when the doors
opened at 9 p. M, but as every check
was promptly paid. the run ceased af
ter about an hours time. During the
run, many of the largest business men
made heavy deposits. Kanawha Val.
ley bank has over $4,000 of its OWL
| in the vaults, and is solid.

Flames In New York.

NEW YORK, June 12.-The five sto-
ry brick building, 81 Rose street, was
partly destroyed by fire tonight. The
easement and first floor were occupi-
ed by s.. Ogilve & Co., publishers,
three floors above, by Street & Smith,
publishers of the New York Weekly
and the top floor by G. w. Walcott
chrome varnisher. The fire started
on the top floor by an accidental
upsetting of a kerosene lamp. The
flames spread rapidly, and the
men who were working in the
building barely had time to escape.
Several varnish tanks exploded. The
blazing fluid ran down into the lower
stories, spreading the confagration.
A general alarm was sent out, and the
firemen succeeded in extingushing the
fire before it had entirely destroyed
the building.
The loss was estimated as follows:
J. s. Olgilvie, $4,000; Street & Smith,
$4,000; L. w. Walcott, $4,000; build
ing, $4,000; total. $4,000. The great
er part of the damage in the lower
floors was done by water. The losses
are covered by insurance.

Brutal Murder by Tramps.

DULUTH, MINI, June 9.-Herman-
town is usually a quiet German set
Element, but now it is the scene of
great excitement. For some time
young married couple named Ericka
have lived there, being engaged in
farming. Saturday last, before din.
ner, Mrs. Ericka took a pail and
started to the house of her near
neighbor, Mrs. Hanson, to
get some milk for dinner. The
farms of Hanson and Ericka are
contiguous. Mrs. Ericka obtained the
milk and started for home. She was
last seen by Mr.. Hanson near sluice,
with the pail in her hand on her way
home. AS she failed to put in an APP
pearance when the dinner hour came
and her husband came for his noon
day meal, he became anxious and
started toward his neighbours resi-
dence. On the way he found his wife's
shoes and near them the milk pail. AT
. this discovery he became alarmed and
increased his pace. He soon found
mans shirt and some cartridges, and
by the wayside further on, the remains
of fire, where tramps had camped
at night. He soon reached his neigh
Dor, and learned that Mrs. Ericka had
arrived there safely, and was in fair
way to reach home without adventure
when last seen. A search was imme-
diately instituted. The community
arose, and every human means within
the power of excited men was adopted
| to obtain some clew as to the where
abouts of the missing woman. All
efforts were vain till 2 p. m. today,
when the body was found in an
out of-the-way place with two bullet
holes through the temple. The un-
fortunate woman was probably first
shot and then outraged in the most
brutal manner. Most horrible Of all,
the wretches put the body on log,
bead downward, used a knife and
slashed the body in the most terrible
fashion, cutting open the bowels and
cutting out other parts of the body
throwing them to one side in the
grass. An inquest was held this even
ing and verdict given in accordance
with the facts. No doubt tramps
committed the horrible deed. The
sheriff is said to be on the trail of the
miscreants. If caught the criminals
will probably be fearfully dealt with
