UILL CARLETONS LAST POEM.

When poor Will Cartoons body was
discovered in the room in which he com
r,;tted suicide. On Wednesday last, they
found on bureau near the bed wo-
mans skull, to which piece of paper was
affixed with the following lines:
Within this CHASTITY skull once lived anc
throbbed ....-
A human brain with human passions
fraught;
D.,o sn1y doubt and scorn, and love and
hate. 49,. -,
Within this shrine there came the oirth OF
thought. c.,
The homes. the fears. the pangs we teel
dwelt here, >, !,
This vas the house and that we call the
soul.
Fra,l house. Bereft of all thy Garniture,
Evcn now an idiot can thy fate control.
These EMMY sockets once held orbs that
shamed
The diamond lustre OF the peerless stars.
The music of the tongue that wagged
within this skull
Held ears in bondage by Its magic spell,
And left thousand hearts with twice
thousand scars;
Where now is all the glory of that beau
teouS head.
When treSses waved the wind to KISS
their sheen?
Alas! Its loneliness destroyed and dead.
But this remains to tell us what has been.

A HINT TO THE BOYS.

I stood in the store the other day
when boy came in and applied for
situation.
Can you write a good hand?'
was asked.
"Yaas."
Good at flgures?"
"Yaas."
That will do don't want you,"
said the merchant.
But" | said, when the boy had
gone, Il know that lad to be an hon
est, industrious boy. Why didn't
you give him chance?"
= because he hasn't learned to say
Yes, SIR and No, sir If he ans.
wers me as he did when applying
for a situation, how will he answer
customers after being here month";
What could say to that? He
had fallen into habit, young as lie
was, which turned him away frem
the first situation he had ever applied
for.

An Airy 0fficeholder and A Modest
Judge.

WAsHISaroN, Aug. 5O.-Some of
the new department officials are
rather fresh, and have what the
Methodists call realizing sense of
dignity and Importance Of their po-
sitlons. The protruding sclf-compla
cency of chief Of division in the
Treasury caused funny scene the
other day. In order that he may be
more easily Unidentified it should be
said that he was appointed during
the last days of the Arthur Admin
1seration. and Secretary Msnning's
reform has not reached tho room IN
which he presides. He was sitting
at his desk the other day contemplate
Ing plans for retsining his position,
when tall, venerable man came it,
to the room, and, in quiet, respect
full way, observed that he would like
to see the documents in such and
sach case.
"Whst is your name?' asked the
Chief of Division.
"Strong," was the reply.

Angels On Casters.

A Western paper speaks of girls at
the rink rs angels on casters"
Quite poetical. Still it rather takes
the poetry out Of the thiHg when it il.
remembered that before the average
girl becomes an angel on casters she
has a course Of training to pursue
that brings her many a mishap In
the words Of the poet:
She's frowned upon by pastors.
She meets with sad disasters.
Needs arnica and p!asters-
Before the art she masters.
OF gliding on the Casters.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 8, 1885.

To Governor j. A. Martin. Topeka, Kansas
In reply to your telegram relative to the
exposed and defenSeless condition of the
southern border of your state, on which
you base an application for improved arms
for the Kansas militia the secretary of war
regrets that under the law he cannot make
the exchange desired. He instructed mo
to inform you that he hiss, in view Of the
disturbed condition of Indian affairs on
your borders, given such directions as will
concentrate in Kansas and elswhere south
of it such military force rs may be required
to give all neediul protection to your peo-
pie. r. @. DRUM,
A6jutant General.
A dispatch from Wichita says: The usual
number of Cheyenne and Arappahoe In
dams were hanging about Medicine Lodge.
and other smaller towns, trading. Some of
these small bands have no doubt been seen
crossing the prairie, which gave raise to the
terrible scare yesterday. An Eagle special
from Fort Reno saws the situation there is
unchanged, and that many ofthe head men
say they are willing to await the action or
report Of the commissioners sent from Wash
ington. About six or seven hundred young
bucks however, will fight if their arms are
are demanded. These young Cheyennes
have been canvassing among the Arrapahoes
and COmahcbes for assistan &c; they admit
that the accidental killing of the young
brave in the late sham battle was bad
medicine. Their medicine men are work
ing like beavers to keep up the war spirit.
Unless the number of troops are doubled
they will try their luck at more medicine
making within few days.
Adjutant General A. B. Camp bell sent g
letter to the governor from Larned which
explains the cause of the whole scare:
THE present excitement is from two
causes: First, the citizens away from the
centers ha We just learned of the threaten
trouble, news of which reached US tsn days
ego and they are unnecessarily ala med.
Second, this has been aggravated by the re-
port of the killing, by Indians, of three
or four persons at Fargo Springs
which report was circulated by
the cowboys at the instance of cattlemen
for the purpose of soaring and driving out
actual settlers who were interfering with
their ranging privilege. If any one was
killed at Fargo Springs,it was in q drunken
row among the cowboys, and it has been
charged to the Indians for the purposes
mentioned. The band which has caused
all this trouble is band of Indians under
chief Magpie. They left the reservation
several days ago for fear the arms, ponies
and ammunition they had in their possession
would be taken from them. They hid for
sometime in the headwaters of the Gmar
ron.
Troops are now massed in the south west
ern portion of the state and will soon bring
the refractory Indians to punishment.
