called libel.
HERMAN LIEB, OF this, Washington
county, says the Brennan Banner, got
away with nearly 600 Of the county's
money. and says he don't know what he
did with II. or where 1t has gone. The
people hereabouts are considerably ex-
ercised about Lieb, who is now spend
ing his leisure time in Jail, but the Lieb
transaction dwindles into insignlflcance
as compared with the transactions OF n
New York firm. In that city, notwith-
standing the large amount OF curious
and entertaining information which the
inquiry into the affairs Of Grant q Ward
has brought out, there is a great void
which II has failed to I'LL. The question,
what became Of the money, remains un-
answered. The liabilities Of the firm
are S27,000,000-a sum equal to the
whole cost Of conducting the United
States government In the time Of Presl-
dent Adams. Where did all this money
go? Who got ~ How could II disap-
pear so magically without leaving n
trace behind2 These are questions
which the New York public is asking
without provoking response"
"
TnE meeting of the Blaine boilers, I'M
der the name of Independents, in New
York on Tuesday. was not the swell
affair II had been advertised, nor was
there much enthusiasm expressed. OF
the leaders, George William Curtis and
Carl Schurz were the most prominent.
The address to the meeting by Mr.. Chair
man Goldman was simply TRADE against
MIR. Blaine, while the resolutions and
platform of the party was n reiteration
of much that Is in the Democratic plat
form and an another arraignment Of MIR.
Blaine as an individual and the Repub-
llcan party in general. On the ques-
tion of tariff, they straddle just as did
the Democrats, only more so. The In
dependent movement will serve its pur-
pose, and possibly may be the founda-
tion of a new party, but that II will con-
troll the balance Of power under such
men, whose only qualification Is their
inconsistency, is a question very much
doubt. One thing the meeting demon
strated, and that was that the bolt against
Mr.. Blaine was not near SO large as II
looked few weeks ago, and that II is
confined alone to that free trade element
OF impractical political so-called leaders
and disoontents.

How n Woman Has Made Her Fortune.

Washington Correspondence Rochester Herald
A few years ago the widow of naval officer,
who had succeeded in securing place in one of
the departments, conceived the idea of establish
ing frst-class- all respects house where tho
weary senator could settle down from the cares
of state The lady had no money, but Boss
Shepard owned a fine house, which was vacant
In answer to her application for the place he
asked if she could pay in advance or give secur
ity II can do neither" answered the widow
but am confident of my ability TO make the
rent out of the house and some money besides. Z"
Saint Alexander considered few days, and
then decided to let her have the place. The
next move was to furnish it. This too, was ac-
complished on the credit plan. The house was
elegantly furnished from basement to attic and
the signs were hung out Within few days
the guests began to pour in. Before the end
of the first month the house filled with first
class boarders, who paid from $40 TO 5000 per
month each. The rent was paid promptly, aud
the bills for furniture were paid at maturity At
the end of the first year the house was return
nished more tastefuly than before The board
ers came back and the bank account of the widow
began to swell. Property in the vicinity Of
Blaine's new mansion was then comparatively
valueless. The widow invested few hundred
dollars. Two or three years passed; the board
ing house continued to prosper The widow
caught the Dakota fever and went West. She
purchased more property here, and bought sew

since grown WONDERFULLY. She built a MOTEL. The

We loved each other my love and 7,
And the wind sighed low thro' the tasseled corn,
The bobolink sang in the dewy morn,
And the brook ran merrily by.
We loved each other my love and I;
And the quail pped low mid the yellow corni
We heard in the distance the huntsmen's horn,
And the leaves were brown and dry.
We looked to the future. my love and I;
The future crowded with hopes and Fears
That turns smiles so often to tears,
As the days pass YEARLY by.
He spoke of'the time when two should dwell
Together beneath fair southern skies.
Where the in its fragrance never dies,
And love hears no parting knel.
The corn was garnered long years ago;
The bObolinks song is heard more;
Only shadow falls through the door
Where he used to come and go.
The sea is wide and il lies between
My love and I, my love and |;
Where the flowers bloomed dead leaves now lie.
And the grass DER his grave is green.

Firmness of Senator Wilson.


Senator Henry Wilson was selfcontrolled
as well as q self made man He left his New
Hampshire home early in lifo, and changed his
name in order to get out from under the baleful
shadow of intemperance. He began on the
lowest round of the social ladder and climbed
up rung by rung until he became political
power in the nation.
Tie first step he took in the ascent placed him
on the pledge never to drink intoxicating liquors
The second step he took made him an industri-
Gus laborer the third diligent reader
He was semitic Washington to carry petition
against the admission Of Texas into the Union
John Quincy Adams asked him to dinner
party, where he met with some of the great men
Of the nation He asked to drink wine
The temptation to lay aside his temperance
principle for a moment, in order not to seem
singular, was strong one But he resisted it.
and declined the glass of wine. Mr.. Adams com
mended him for his adherence to his convictions.
After Mr.. Wilson was elected to the United
States Senate, he gave his friends a dinner at -
noted Boston hotel The table was set with not
a wine glass upon it.
where are the wine glassesF asked several,
loud enough to remind their host that some of
his guests did not like sitting down to wineleSs
dinner.

What slenoes we keep year after year.
With those who most to us and dear
We live beside each other day by day,
And speak of myriad things, but seldom say
The full sweet word that lies just in reach,
Beneath the commonplace of common speech.
fhen cut of sight and out of reach they 60
These close familiar friends, who loved us soi
And sitting in the shadow they have left,
Alone with loneliness and sore bereft,
We think with vain regret of some fond word
That once We might have said and they have heard.
For weak and poor the love that we express
Now seems beside the vast. sweet unexpressed
And slight ths deeds did to those undoue,
And small tho service spent to treasure won.
And undeserved the praise for word and deed
That should have overfowed the simple need.
This is the cruel cross of life, to be
Full yisioned only when the ministry
OF death has been fulfilled and in the place
Of some dear presence is but empty space.
What reeollected services then
Give consolation for the might have been.
