A Place to Give Poet Inspiration.

Carp"
Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sier-
ras, has just got into his log cabin. |
called upon him in it and found tall,
weil-made, blue-eyed man of forty-five,
with long, tawny hair flowing out from
under his SLOUGH hat, with pantaloons
tucked into pair of fine boots, and a
good-natured air of western wildness,
which well accorded with his pictur-
esque surroundings. He received me
cordially, and kindly showed me over
the cabin, saying that for fifteen years
he had been wandering about over the
ace of the earth, and that he was glad
to feel that he had at last a place he
could call his home.
The cabin is on the heights at the
head IF Sixteenth street, the great
street of the Wa hington of the future.
AS Waukeen says, 1.-THE presidents
house is at one end of it and his hut is
at the other, but that while he has a
cabin the president has only cab
met" Sixteenth is a great wide street
paved with asphalt, and lined alter
nately with $4,000 mansions and $50
negro huts. The White House, almost
bathed by the Potomac and faced by
Lafayette park, is its starting point,
and half way up to Mr.. Miller's
cabin is green plat in
which a bronze equestrian statue of
Gen. Scott looks at the executive man
sion. The street steadily rises, carry
ing with it old St. Johns Episcopal
church, George H. Pendleton's man
sion, negro laborers' cabins, Senator
Cameron's great palace, and like:
mixture till it reaches the boundary of
the town, where there is a jump up
ward in the shape of a fifty-foot hill or
plateau, running back into the country.
On this plateau Joaquin Miller has
bought lot and put up one of the pref
test of log cabins.
The lot runs almost to the edge of
the hill, and the view is certainly one
of the. finest in the United States. Mr..
Miller says he has never seen anything
to equal it, and that if man can write
poetry anywhere he ought to be able to
write it here. Stand in front of the
large yard of the cabin, under one of
the great oaks which shadeit, all Wash
ington lies before you surrounded by
hills which make it look as though the
nature around was a mammoth col
iseum of the gods and the national cap
ital the scene going on in the arena be-
low. The great white, classic capitol
is plainly seen, the Potomac flows on
along the edge of the arena, and off on
neighboring hills you can look into Alex
andria and at the tombstones of Airing
ton.

Sudden Conversions.
Henry Ward Beecher.


Now and then a man who has been a
gross drinker is converted by some cleo
trical experience. Men seeing these
wonderful transitions from midnight to
midday are fascinated by them, and
they have an idea that if man has
been very wicked the power of Gods
spirit will come on him and you will
see him turned in an instant to an ar
dent Christian. They say: "What a
splendid contrast!' I don't think a
man who has been wallowing for thirty
years is very apt to fly the next thirty
years. A man who has crept on his
belly like worm will hardly be trans
formed into butterfly, and if he is he
will not be much more than a butter
fly. don't believe the highest form of
spiritual excellence ever comes from the
lower practices of men violative of the
laws of morality. 1t is worth a mans
while to be moral even if he is not 60
ing to be Christian.
You may ask, "Will it save him?
Will morality save men?" That leads
me to say you must not suppose that
morality is substitute for the higher
form Of religion. If | plant a holy
hook and it comes up in stock and leaf
it is pleasing so far, but if it is cut off
before poisoning it is good only so
far. You have lost the very end for
which you planted it.
Morality counts for something so far
as 1t goes. 1t is, like the spoiled flower,
a process baked, imperfect. The spir-
itual has not blossomed. Preparation
for what fits you to live in this life is
well, but when it comes to the question
of the great beyond can you speak that
language? Have you got that money
which passes current there? The ship
wants to anchor, and the line comes
within twenty feet of the bottom.
What is it good for? 1t doesn't reach
bottom, and therefore it is good for
nothing,

Dost eyer sit at twilight's hour,
And mediate alone.


Dost eyer sit at twilight's hour,
And mediate alone,
And think how many, many friends
From LIES long way have gone?
Dost ever see thy childhood's friends
Within the Swallowed light,
And list them tell the golden tales
See olden pictures bright?
And then the friend Of girlhood's years,
You used to love so well,
Whose ever ready ear was lent
To listen what you would tell?
And then the other dearer friend,
Whose hand enclasps your own,
Whispers words SO very low,
None heard but you alone.
And then the friends of later years,
Who round your hearthstone came,
And taught your friendship oft can
boast,
OF else beside a name.
And then the years that came between
And blotted all away?
Some lights went out, but some in
heaven
Still burn with steadfast ray.
The backward path I love to tread,
Its joys are ever mine!
The future may be rayless night,
The past through it shall shine.

In Ag0nizing Suspense.
Boston journal.


Among the numerous applications
for pensions received by the commits
sioner of pensions is one sent the other
day by an ex- soldier, who has discov-
cred an entirely new ground for relief.
He stated that he had no wounds and
was not disabled by disease, but while
fighting in the Union ranks, at the bat
tie of Antietam, he lost his coat, vest
and one suspender. 'sThe other sus-
pender," he wrote, s'was my only stay
and support. Imagine my dismay
when bullet came along, and, slight
ly scorching my skin as it passed, cut
the last precious suspender clean in
two. There 1 stood in presence of
many thousands of men. My emotions
cannot be described. You, Mr.. Com
missioner, can imagine them. 1 am
certainly entitled to a pension for the
wounds given to my feelings on that
occasion. Possibly you may not de-
eide that a large pension should be
given me, but, at least, l ought to have
enough to keep me in strong, reliable
suspenders all my life."

Our Wonderful Beef Belt.
Philadelphia Times.

1t is said that belt about 400 miles
wide and extending from the Gulf of
Mexico to the British possessions along
the slope of the Rocky Mountains con-
tains neat cattle worth more than
$500, OO0, 900, which subsist wholly on
natural grasses. Much of this belt is
included in what was formerly known
as the Great American Desert. Nearly
twenty years ago an OK train was be-
lated on the plains and the driver of
the cattle turned them loose to shift
for themselves in a winter of unusual
severity, and great was his astonish-
ment the following spring to find the
animals in excellent condition. They
had fed on the grama, or buffalo grass,
which grows in great abundance in all
that region, and possesses qualities ;of
the highest nutritive value. 1t grows
luxuriantly during the rains of spring
and early summer, anu "cures'' on the
stalk when the August drought ar
rives, remaining in good condition
throughout the season, owing to the
extreme dryness of the winter months.
The average annual rainfall of the beef
belt is only about one-fourth as much
as that of the eastern states.
The production of beef for export
and for the states which do not produce
as much as they consume is rapidly in
creasing the demand upon the grama
grass region. Ohio, Indiana, Michigan
and Kentucky have almost ceased to
contribute to the beef supply of other
states, and Illinois, Iowa and Missouri
are finding that they cannot compete
with the famous beef belt in the pro-
duction of beef for the eastern market.
Although the number of cattle other
than mich COWS has increased from
3,482, 591 in 1880 to 29,O46, 101 in 1883,
it is doubted whether the increase will
continue to keep pace with the increase
of population, and if the population
reaches 150,OO0,OOO as early in the next
century as some statisticians predict, it
is probable that we shall not have much
beef to sell to Europe, marvellous as
may be the productiveness of the Rocky
mountain beef belt. AS New York re-
ceived go, 297 beeves, 1926 COWS and
1907 calves, during 1883, exporting
only 5000 of the whole number, pecu.
liar interest in the grama grass country
is felt in this community.

mother. Erasmus was very facetiOus
man and the best critic of his age. Hor.
ace Walpole, who for sixty years sat
irized men, women and things, loved
towrite letters. In his old age he be-
came infatuated with Miss Berry, but
feared that the world he had so long
ridiculed would laugh him down. Pope
delighted to write letters and would
send half a dozen copies to his lady

"wasp," he was devoted to his mother
and was self-sacrificing. Macauley

he said he had nothing left but his am

About midnight THE GAZETTE re-

for the public through associated press
aud special sources, conveying tie in
telligtnce that Samuel j. Tilden had
peremptorily declined to again he n
candidate for public position. HIS
long and exhaustive autograph letter
to Daniel Manning, chairman OF the
New York state conven-
ton, was sent TO the opera
house and read TO the convention by
Clerk Lambert. The delegates and
spectators listened with breathless
silence AS the reading progressed, until,
under the misRpprehension mt "a GER
tain point In the letter that he had
said he would accept the nomination
II rendered, a spontaneous shout arose,
and the convention became wild with
delight and us unmanageaple rs pam
demonium. The scene cannot be
described, and lasted several
minutes. When order was re-
stored the reading was finished,
and when the crowd realized that
positive declination WAS the character
of the communication gloom settled
like pail on all except the few who
hated with the bitterness of hearts
poisoned against him the maj
who had been Democracy

Immense cheering greeted the re-
suit and the report of the committee
on permanent organization, as amend-
ed, was then adopted as whole, and
unanimously.
II was moved and adopted that

conduct Hon. j. ID. Sayers, elected
permanent chairman, to the chair.
The temporary chairman named
Messrs. Elgin of McLennan, Bonuer
of Smith, and Gooch of Anderson as

said:
