Has Crockett received his money vet ?
"Yes; but strange to say, he still
sticks to his job. We all thought it
would paralyze him when he heard the
news, but it didn't. He isn't q man
who drinks or CANDLES to any great ex-
tent. He is about thirty five years of
age and married. I heard that he in

he came from, and buy farm and SET

Crockett was interviewed, but no
amount of questioning could make him
say anything further than that he
"didh't care for notoriety," and that he
didn't want anything published about
the matter"

On the crest of the Sierra Nevada
Range, amid eternal winter, there ap-
pears . gorgeous blood-red plant,
massed with startling brillanoy against
pallid banks Of snow. In size and
shape, the cloud-dower resembles q
hyacinth, but the leaves and stem, al

crimson hue: Unlike the Alpine flow:

Before the swarming tourists began
pilgrimages Yosemiteward the Snow
Flower of the Sierras had brimmed her
soul with its beauty. She had seen her
pretty eyes looking up at her from
Mirror Lake; South Dome had answered
her, when she questioned; the MERGED
River had sung its story of mercy to her
while yet she was child.
At length the trail crossed the range
near the cabin, and during the brief
summer equestrians appeared on the
summit, going down toward the valley.
From her hidden post she saw the
world's people pause, with full hearts
and trimming eyes, on Inspiration

thing is seen in the company only OF
God. In solitude we are closed with
the Most High, and, whether leaf thicket
or ice cavern, it is the place of worship
and JOY. Therefore, the heart of the
maiden was stirred deepest, when on a
winters day, alone in the vast white
universe, she peered from Glacier Point,
into the frozen crater of jewels. Then
the valley shone in white splen-
dor that its summer worshipers can
never see. Down the walls the falls
hung dumb and motionless, suspended
by an unseen hand, trailing miles of
crushed jewels, opal and sapphire, and
emerald. Ell CAPTAIN lifted his white

THE cholera situation in France is
becoming very serious. The fatal and
epidemic character of the disease is
established beyond question. The
problem now is, can it be restricted
to the district already affected? This
is hardly possible, though it was done
successfully in Egypt last year. But
there military authority was invoked,
and travel absolutely stopped by a
gordon Of 1ifes through which no one
could pass. Such blockade cannot
be established in thickly populated
and civilized country and the chances
are that the plague will spread all
over the world.

A RECENT telegram to the New
York Herald from Mexico states thai
the nomination of Cleveland is receiv.
ed with great satisfaction by the Mex
leans. This must be very pleasing
news to Mr.. Cleveland. He now
has the support of the British lion
and the Mexican greaser. The Mex
lean greaser is laboring under the i'm
preston that Blaine will invade and
capture his country. Immediately af-
ter Mr.. Blaine's nomination Mexican
paper advised the utmost vigilance on
the part of the national guard, the
arming of private citizens and prep
arations to prevent the threatened
invasion by the plumed knight. 1t
is probably for the same reason, if the
truth could be known, that the British
lion now roars for Cleveland. He is
perhaps afraid that Blaine and Logan,
will invade Canada and annex it to
the United States.

A SINGLE bitter word may dlsquiet
an entire family for whole day. One
surly glance casts a gloom over the
household while smile like a CLEAN
of sunshine, may light up the darkest
and weariest hours. Like unexpected
flowers which spring up along our
path, full of freshness, fragrance and
beauty, so kind words and gentle acts
and sweet dispositions make glad the
sacred spot called home. No matter
how humble the abode, if it be sweet.
ened with kindness and smiles, the
heart will turn lovingly toward it
from all the tumults of the world,
and home, if it be ever SO homely,
will be the dearest spot beneath the
circuit of the sun.

Let us take it coolly and gracefully

sweating and fretting for the present.
This, of course, is dropped as tempo

the environment of time, place and
circumstance. But there is one adj
monition as to political conduct that
we desire to engrave upon the mind
of every republican. Make all your
election bets cash. fla rash and i'm
Fortunate democrat offers to back up
his wind with the money, and you feel
that you must garner him in, be sure
the money is put up in the hands

largely to the gathered harvest after
