Augustus loved an artful maid, qg Whose smiles near drove him frantic; And being rather young in years,
 This love turned him romantic. So just to show his love, one day,
 And also for to test her, He bought ittleRolden ring,
 And thus he then addressed her: Accept this ring. dear one," he said, And keep it as 8 token r-.s- ..--r-,~ Of cherished hopes within my heart,
 That have left unspoken. For know, that ring is like the love
 That oft my heart is rending, For like it's treasured ore, 'tis pure,
 And likewise has no ending l" She took the ring, while OCT her face
 A witching smile did finger; And with @ charming ''thank you, pet," Soon placed il on her finger. And musing thensa little while,
 She said, with accents winning, "'Tis also like my love for you,
 For it has no beginning !"

His son Walter be- came North river sailor, and first went on the Union. of which Daniel E. Brown was captain. Abolat1 1845 Walter shipped in New York for a long whaling voyage. After the whaling vessel had been some days at sea, the captain developed such a terrible temper, and abused his men so badly, that threeof them ran away in a small boat. One of them was Walter; and another was negro. The men went away without any provender, and as, Q result in a few days became desperately hungry. Finally the bangs of hunger became So unbearable that the white men concocted a plot to kill the negro and eat him. They carried out the first part of the arrange ment, and had subsisted on human flesh for several days, when finally rescued by g passing vessel. When Walter returned to his fathers home, some years afterward, he detailed the horrible story, and said that no food ever tasted so good as did that negro's flesh. When Walter was last heard from he wasa sailor on Lake Erie.

The reader sees the bottom of every sentence and every sentence is joined it's fellows, that every special subject is set in a bright, clear light The hook reduces the patent law to symmetrical system, as truly Blackstone did that work for the common law of England.

ty more benefited by it than the United States. But before it can be of much benefit to either nation, the miserable interfe- rences with traffic at present being enforced must be removed.
 That the treaty which has beon in consideration in Congress for so long a time should have failed to be passed upon. is most la mentable circumstance, for by it's provisions there was chance that the bulk of -MeXicans trade would be directed 10 the United States instead of being monopoli- zed by European countries, and 1t was no doubt through the agency of these same European countries that the treaty was upset Tn Congress.

which cannot be accurately as- certained. The rich bottom lands of the Ohio valley outside of the towns are more thickly settled than the rural districts in other parts of the state, and in the mining districts of Jefferson, Belmont and Meigs, the popula- ton is quite dense all along the river. The population on the river has increased probably 10 per cent since the census of 1880 was taken, so that it is not an ex- travagant estimate to say that there are fully 450,000 people liv- ing on the Ohio side e of the river, in that state, in the flooded dis tricts or in their immediate vi cinity. This is nearly fl per cent of the entire population of the state, and probably one-fourlh of that number are more or less injured by the floods.

The havoc wrought i'll the SOledad canon to the line of the Southern Pacific Railway has scarcely been exaggerated even in the fl st wild reports. We are pretty reliably informed that fully fifteen miles of track have been swept away while the cul- verts, l ridges and embankments have been demolished wholesale. Even since the fair weather set in Los Angeles there have been inumerable caves in that section. A further delay of week need astonish no one in re-estahiishing railway communition, while some alarmist reports are 10 the effect that even month may not see the damage fully repaired.

Some idea of the magnitude of the recent food disaster to the citizens of Ohio may he gathered
 from the following figures which
 are based on the census of 1880.
 Thirteen counties of Ohio border on the Ohio river, to wit: Colum- biana, Jefferson, Belmont. Mon- roe, Washington, Meig5, Gallla, Lawrence, Scioto, Adams, Brown. Clermont and Hamilton. Athens county touches the river, but only at one point, and is not in c!uded in this estimate. The thirteen counties named contain ed population of I'll 900 in 1880, and the cities and larger towns lying on the river contained $50, . O)O population.

Of course, the present district courts would have exclusive Jurisdiction of United States cEses, and appeals in such cases would be. as they are now.-Ex
