Bohemian Corpse Boards.
from the Cornhill Magazine,

lFrom the Cornhill Magazine
When anyone dies, man or woman,
the corpse is removed from the death
bed and laid on board previously cut
and prepared to receive it. at the
head is sort of pent-roof, a low gable;
lower down is bar across for the seat,
and little shelf at the bottom for the
feet. On this the corpse reposes until
the funeral. After this, the painting of
the board is completed, the inscription
filed up; it is then nailed or screwed to
a stout post, which is driven into the
ground by the roadside, so that the
corpse board" stands upright till the
post rots and allows it to fall, when it
crumbles neglected into the soil. The
entrance to village is through an
avenue of these horrible memorials.
Sometimes, however, they are planted
in the depth of the wood, where roads
fork-beside mere paths in the most
lonesome spots. AS they advance in
age they decline more and more from
the perpendicular and lurch to right or
left. In the evening cleaning, the ap-
pearance of a row of these is just that
of line of tipsy soldiers. This effect
Is enhanced Dy the pocu1ar1ty OF their
concentrations. At the head, under the
weather board, where rested the head of
the corpse, is painted a round white
disk, which is adorned with figures of
virgin and saint in the sky, or the
trinity, and in the middle is the de-
ceased, kneeling very upright, in his
best Sunday clothes. Another is a
clock face pointing to the hour of death.
Further down is tablet, or a pair of
tables, on which are inscribed the name,
age. and merits of the departed, and
some verses of more or less originality
and merit.

Tabor Not a Silver King.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat

| [From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.l
Senator Fl. A. W. Tabor has figured
as silver king. His wealth is believed
by many, even in Denver, to be vast be-
yond computation, and when he served
out his celebrated thirty days term in
the United States senate the newspa-
pers were filed with stories about his
$500 night-shirts and big diamond rings.
Seven years ago he ran little grocery
store in the gulch. He GRUB staked"
successful prospectors, and his wealth
began rolling up.
The most important of his present
property consists of an interest in the
Matchless mine at Leadville, the Tabor
business block in Denver, the Tabor
opera-house in the same place. and the
Tabor opera-house here. The output
of the Matchless has dropped off 70 per
cent, part of it is in litigation, and
suit is dragging in the courts for one
heretofore taken out. The opera-house
and block at Denver are covered with
mortgages, and the interest on borrowed
money is simply enormous, eating up
large per cent. of his high rents. The
opera-house here is small two-s story
brick building, with two store-rooms in
front and a saloon in the rear. They
probably pay an average rental of $3.50
month. As to the opera-house por-
ton the entertainments in it do not ex-
coed one every two weeks. The entire
building is mortgaged, and it can readi-
ly be seen that no very enormous in
come can be derived from it.
In addition to what is mentioned,
Mr.. Tabor owns one-half interest in
the Clarendon hotel, large frame
building in this city. On this he re-
Gently borrowed $4,000. Of course,
he has large amount of mining prop
erty, both in this state and New Mexi-
co, but it is practically reproductive,
and SO largely must hope enter into it's
valuation that it cannot be fixed upon
commercial basis.
The most sanguine of Tabor's friends
say if he CLEANED up" what he has
he would be worth 100000. Others
say he would be worse off than nothing.
One thing is certain-he is not mill

not be. There, darling, therer'-
Leonie wept passionately on her bosom
-"let Geofrey come to you" (his step
was sounding on the path outside), "and
thank God for all of us, this hour is not
too latep
How this extraordinary news was re-
ceived by household and wedding
guests, by poor, disappointed Mrs.
Orde. by the whole startled parish, we
must leave to our readers imaginations.
Long before the ferment OF excitement
had subsidized quiet marriage had taken
place-so Agatha had willed it, and all
yielded to her-and with his bride mot
portionless, as to his contrite surprise
and his mothers comfort, he discovered)
Godfrey Orde was speeding away to
the far East
Till the hubbub of discussion was
past, Agatha Temple deserted The
Beeches, and, returning after weeks of
absence, brought back in her brave
serenity scarce trace of the trial that
had driven her away.
"Leonie is happy!" she says, and al
lows no tongue to blame her sister in
her hearing,
Perchance her home, her people make
up to her for what she lost. Perchance
the very power to renounce what she
did wakens mistrust as to her fitness
ever to have filed the state she missed.
Or perchance (and this way run many
wishes) it may be dawning on her that
womanhood's fair crown is vet waiting,
If she will but wear it; that in her
hands lies all the happiness of man
who has loved her from the first mo-
ment he saw her, and that the sure re-
Spouse stirring within her own heart
promises her yet glad future as John
Murray's wife.

THE POETS REALM,
BY A. P. GUYER.

Hence hath mysteries which we dream not of;
What is it but the memory of sound
Deep in its chambers, hidden far away
We know each song separate place hatf
found.
Deem you the music dead ? 1t echoes down
The thought-heoge ways where listening mem
DRY treads.
Pure silence is one web of many songs,
Like some fabric woven of many threads.
The stars in silence turn, yet in their course
Make rhythmic music for the universe.
we say the flowers grow silently. -Thoy sing
Sweet songs of love and beauty where they
spring.
The beauty of the Summer quiet night
Is haunted yet by tender whispering
Of music that hath been, and taken flight.
o poet thine the finer sense that hears
The music all unheard by other ears
Thou gatherest music from the silence deep,
And he 1rest it in dreams, while others sleep.
To thee the clouds are glorious symphonies;
The sunlights flooding gold, the shadows deep,
Are songs in minor and in major keys.
o poet sing for us of duller ears
The voiceleSs melodies thy spirit hears
Catch from all Nature the deep undertone
Of music that is hers and thine alone;
Interpret for us all that Nature sings
In silence; how the futter of swift wings
Of angels make the silence rich in song.

Amending the Language.
(Fron Puck.l


The Critic suggests that the word
thon be introduced into the language
to take the place of ''that one" This
would be splendid thing. We might
also have whom as substitute for
(which one," and fon for STAT one
Then clerk wishing to know la
dy's choice of an article among a num-
Der would simply ask:
Whom"
And the lady would reply as she
pointed:
"Thon."
And If the butcher asked; holding up
two chickens, "Whon ?" she would sim
ply respond:
"Fon," meaning the STAT one"
Ihls would certainly bea great help
and serve to lessen the amount of wind
used i'll talking, It would be a boon
to auctioneers, clergymen and advertis-
ing agents, and we hope, for their ben
ett, the reform may take place at onee,
and be followed by others.

Highly Professional.
(From the New York Commercial.

An eminent iurist practicing in this
city, but of national fame, returning
from court to his Office one day was in
formed by his managing clerk that he
had secured a new client. "And did
you get retainer?" 81 did sir; $780,"
s'What!'' cried the legal .luminary, his
eyes sparkling with indignation, do you
mean to tell me that SO low a retainer
as 800, has been accepted in this Of

could do no more. You behaved quite
professionally, quite professionally, sir.

The Hiddenite Gems.
CFrom the New Orleans Times.Democrat. !

(From the New Orleans Times Democrat
The new precious gem discovered q
couple of years ago in mine about
fifty miles distant from Bridgewater
n. O., and known as the Hiddenite, is
said to be almost equal to the diamond.
It is placed next to it, and at present
superior to it in value on account of it's
scarcity. The gem is of clear, beautiful
green grass tint, sparkles like a dia-
mond, and is very hard. They vary
when cut from fraction of carat to
about six or seven carats, and the de-
mand for them at $115 to $3.50 for a
carat stone is far greater than the sup
ply, and it comes chiefly from Europe,
though many wealthy persons in New
York and New Jersey have bought
them. W. F. Hidden, a young enthu-
siastic student of geology and mineral
ogy, of New Jersey, went down to
Western North Carolina some few
years ago, and in his prospecting
tours over the mountains found
this now celebrated gem, which by a
friend was named "Hiddenite The
stone seems to have made more impress
sion in Europe than in CHS country,
Judging by the demand and the interest
manifested. They are found encysted
in hard rocks that run in fat veins,
thus evincing the stability of the forma-
ton and permanency. The gems are
concealed in pockets inside of stones,
lining the sides, which have to be
crushed before a pocket is found, and
the number of gems in each pocket
o1%T s.I-A
gems, varying in size, are found in

of gems or $1,000 worth in one pocket.

That glorious old anti-monopolist,
Benz. F. Butler, was one of the two
members of the House of Represen-
tative who, in 1878, voted against
the famous Thurman aet." which
required the Union Pacific Railroad
to devote 25 per cent. of its net earn
ings into a sinking fund with which
to meet the governments claim for
taxes. The bill was passed by a vote
of 243 to 2. When the road was in
vestigated in 1928, it was found
that he was a paid attorney of the
road, while a member of Congress,
and his vote in 1878 is probably thus
accounted for. A fine candidate he
is for laboring men and anti-mono-
polists to vote for.

Will our neighbor, the Eaton Dem

Gro r Cleveland was elected Mayor
of New York city-there is some
body misinformed.-Labor Journal.
Mr.. Cleveland never was elected
Mayor of New York city. In the
autumn o f1SS1 he was nominated
for Mayor of Buffalo on a platform of
reform and economy in the expendi-
lures of the city, and was elected by
a majority of 3,000-the largest maj
ority eve given q candidate for
Mayor. His administration as Mayor
fully justified the confidence reposed
in him by the people of Buffalo, and
in 1882 he was nominated by the
Democratic State Convention at
Syracuse for Governor, and elected
by a majority of over 192, 900, the
largest ever given in any state in the
Union.

The laboring men of our country
do not forget the appeals and pro
misses made by the Republicans in
1880 on the tariff question. They
promised the laboring men steady
work and good wages, and they pro-
missed the farmer 40 cents q pound
for his wool. The campaign was
scarcely over until the tariff on wool
was reduced by a Republican Con
gress and a reduction of wages was
enforced all along the line by the
Republican bosses.
