THE LITTLE GRAVE.
BY G. o. FERGUSON.

Out there where the flowers are weeping,
| behold little grave;
Where tinny form is sleeping,
Like star within the wave.
Twas little star which, straying
One night from its native skies,
Fell to sleep while on earth staying,
And forgot to ope its eyes.
Twas little ray of glory.
Falling from the heavens afar,
Flashing down proud Lies Aurora,
Through the pearly gates ajar.
Twas a little gem which Jesus
From His diadem dropped down.
Lent little while to please US,
Then reset it in His crown.

which he could thwart the conspirators and
procure their arrest and punishment The
agent was 80 much impressed by the mans
story that he gave him money and promises
OF liberal reward. When it was discovered
that Moses was fraud the steamship COM
pany refused to prosecute him, and he escaped
arrest on that charge. In the latter part Of
March, 1882, Moses called upon Freeborn G..
Smith, piano manufacturer IN New York,
and, representing himself as a brother Of
Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, got Mr.. Smith
to cash a check, which afterward proved
worthless, for $175.
CRIMINAL CAREER.
When arrested ON this charge he was iden-
titled by E. w. Crowell of the Phoenix In
surance company of New York as a man
who, on February 10, 1882, had represented
himself as member of the White family Of
Greenville, South Carolina with whom Mr.
Crowel was very well acquainted. 1t was
after banking hours and Moses, saying that
ne was short Of money, got Mr.. Crowen to
cash bogus check for $3.50 Two weeks
afterword he swindled h H. Stuart, of 81
Wall street, New York, out of 500 on q
worthless check and the representation that
he was Gen. Curtis, state commissioner of
South Carolina. B. II. Hasell, agent in this
city for the Charleston Steamship company
at this time sent letter to Inspector Byrnes,
saying that the swindler had been in Boston
also. A worthless check for $500 had been
cashed by Mr. Hasell, who was under the inn
preston that Moses was wealthy south
ern planter. Moses also went to a
member of the firm of w. r. Grace & Co.,
and endeavorod to pass himself of as Mr.
Prince, Of Lynn, Mass, and nearly succeeded
in getting a check cashed. Mr.. Flint the
partner, sent a telegram to Lynn, and the re-
ply proved that the Mr. Prince, alias Moses,
was a fraud and he was hustled out of the
Office Moses is a most accomplished Swindler.
The men TO whom he has applied for money
with success have been well versed in bust
ness matters, and most of them have reputa-
tons for sagacity in their dealings with
others. To swindle such men requires some
thing more than ordinary talent for roguery.
Moses is about SO years old, tall and we'll
formed. with gray hair and mustache and
regular features. On the charge of swindling
Nathan BoZeman, of 365 Fifth avenue, New
York, out of S32 On February 16, 1882, he was
sentenced to the penitentiary at New York
for six months. His recent arrest in Chicago
Is still fresh in the minds of readers, and his
early return to Boston is looked forward to
by bis victims with pleasant anticipations.

French Views of Our Politics.
TThe Current


French views of American politics are gen
orally amusing, chiefly because of their de-
fcient knowledge of the actual situation. Le
Figaro, of June 9, tells its readers that ''to-
morrow there will assemble at Chicago $50
delegates charged with the duty OF electing
the future president of tie United States'--
an observation which perhaps would not be
altogether satisfactory to Democrats But,
again, LIE Figaro says: '"The Republican con-
gress has more importance than that of tie
Democrats, which viii be held in the same
city. The Democrats can not yet pretend to
take upon themselves the direction of affairs
They win oppose to the Republican
candidate who viii be produced at
Chicago, Monsieur Tilden, veteran
in presidential contests whom the Demo-
Gratis have sustained in 1.-The three last
presidential elections. But Monsieur Tilden,
no more than Messrs Carlisle Hewich
(probably HEWITT or Macdonald can contend
with Monsieur Arthur or Monsieur Blaine
The Republican candidate will certainly be
NJ. Edmunds lie grand favori a Ia presidence :"
This is entertaining reading for Mr.. Edmunds
and the Democrats; but The Current is not
much impressed with the prognostic ability
Of lie Figaro touching the outcome of nomi-
mating conventions. LIE Figaro was more
certain of the nomination of Edmunds than
were the special organs OF that statesman in
this country

Poultry.

Fowls now need liberal feeding and
good care, in order to replenish the vi.
tality lost during the breeding season
and months of continued egg produc-
ton. Moulting will now commence,
and the healthier and better the condi
tion the birds are in the finer will they
come out of the trying ordeal. II you
have convenience il is much better now
to separate the sexes. Add old nails
to the drinking water two or three
times week, and twice week add
to every two quarts of mixed feed a
beaping tablespoonful of faxseed meal,
mixing it thoroughly with the corn
meal before you pour the scalding
water. Most of the earlier hatcbed
chicks are now sufficiently advanced in
size 80 that those it is intended to dis
pose of should now be picked out and
marketed as soon as possible, as they
will bring about ~ much now as they
would six or eight weeks latpr--at any
rate they will not bring enough more
to pay for the extra amount vf feed
they will consume in the interval. If
you are raising good many chicks
some Of your later hatched broods will
be Quorum by the earlier ones when
feeding to avoid this lath coop
should be made with laths far enough
apart to allow the small chicks to enter
for food, but not the larger. Some
farmers use poles, piled up log cabin
style. Keep narrowing in to the top
and then place q wide board over the
top opening, (when the pen is built as
high as wanted,) on which put heavy
stone. In fact these pens will be found
convenient during the entire breeding
season. Watch now that your crops
are large enough to accommodate the
rapidly growing chicks without crowd
ing them too much, these oppressive
nights, and continue yet to move the
coops every day or so to new or fresh
ground. See that both the fowls and
chicks have accessible shade. The ex-
tremely warm weather Is quite apt to
cause enthusiasm to somewhat wane,
but you cannot afford TO neglect your
poultry stock single day. 1t is not
so much the kind of fowls as the
"keep' they get. Any breed poorly
cared for does not amount to much, as
far as profit is concerned. Stinted
poultry is Improbable and overfed the
same. Fowls should never be fed until
they will eat no more, such method
is "killing by Kindness" they should
always have good appetite, and in
feeding should be watched, and as soon
as they show the first inclination of
picking up their feed slowly or indif-
ferently don't let them have any more.
Use broom if the yards are bare and
sweep clean place every morning to
put the mixed food on. White wash
and replenish the dust bath.
