From the Courier-JournaL
The way, he said, is smooth and green and
fair,
There are no thorns to wound and bruiset hy
feet;
Where summer reigns, and starlike blossoms
sweet
Bend to the winds low call; thy path is there!
And mine? Alas! no dewy mornings break
Across the valley where my way hath lain,
And yet, though youth be dead and faith be
keep thy tokens for the old loves sake.
Above the urn that holds no hidden fans
OF alter fires that long have paled away,
vet may pause, and in the ashes gray
Read with dim eyes the old familiar name.
And II some shadowy memory should awake,
II once again my eyes with tears grow wet
II in my heart should spring some vain re-
greet,
Nay, do not scorn me for the old loves sakel
IA one who sees in old remembered hooks,
With eyes that have grown sad with cease
less tears,
The same glad beauty of the long-lost years,
And hears again the song Of summer brooks,
So il from troubled dreams / could awake
And feel thy warm soft kisses on my face,
think the sweetness of thy winsome grace
Would touch me-only for the old loves sake!

We have, however. with our present
idea OF the functions of government.
just the two evils to choose between
the Scylla of the spoils system and the
Charybdis Of bureaucracy. OF course
we may try to combine the two, so as
TO have s5nae experience Of the evils of
both; but the probability is, that sooner
or later one or other viii decisively
carry the day.
Now, Mr.. Spencer says: The whole
trouble arises from your having so
many Offices to dispose Of, and that
comes of your having crowded g many
functions upon the Government. You
have brought on a condition OF things
dangerous to the peace and stability
Of the state. Had you left to private
initiative and responsibility q very
large part of what you now place on
the shoulders of the Government, the
ofice-seeking nuisance could never
have grown to its present dimensions,
o could bureaucracy ever have been
the incubus il now is on the life and
energies Of many communities. The
time has come to unload, to repeal laws
rather than TO enact new ones. The
organic growth Of society is checked
when you resort to what may, by com
parison, be called the mechanical meth
DDS of Legislation and governmental
control. 1t is under the regime of free
dom, not under that OF compulsion that
social bonds are knit. III you would
have virtue to grow strong, you must
let il have its full value as virtue in the
world; you must not try to ~equalize all
varieties of character bv repressiye laws.
II, You are determined to abandon or
ganic methods, andto operate exclusive
ly by means of the ~policeman's trun-
cheon, more or less politely concealed,
prepare yourself for great commissions,
for the condition you. will induce viii
and can not be one of stable equilibrium.

During the recent ice jam in Chesa-
peake Bay millions of ducks were
crowded into small open spaces of wa
ter. This afforded sportsmen and pot
hunSsrs fine opportunities for killing
them, and great numbers fwere slaugh-
tered. One man is reported to have
killed thirty-t two at a single shot.
The Royal Irish Rites, nearly nine

The royal commissioners appointed
to inquire into the effects of Chinese i'm

A barometer is simply q bent tube
filled with murcury, like q U with one
long leg and one short one. The short
end is open to the air, the long end is
closed and is q vacuum, that is, has no
air. The weight of the air upon the
quicksilver in the short arm causes il
to rise in the long arm TO q height sufi-
cient to balance the weight Of the air.
Dry air is heavy, and the mercury
rises; wet air is light, so the mercury
falls. This makes the barometer q
weather glass.
Fishermen who supply the markets
in central and southern Illinois are said
to use nets with meshes so small that

ed. A number of the fishing clubs de-
mand repressive legislation against
these pot fishermen.

The Roof OF tho World.


A little east of thenarrOw tract now
in dispute between Russia and Afghan
istan is that extensive protuberance
called by the natives the Pamir, or
the Roof of the World. This wonder
full plateau, furrowed by deep valleys,
through which flow the head streams of
great rivers, is the loftiest in the world,
and stretches away for some hundreds
of miles from 10000 to Is, 900 feet
above the sea. 1t is an elevated
isthmus connecting those almost i'm
passable mountain systems of Asia,
the THAN, Shan and Altai on the
north, with the Hindoo Koash and
Himalayas on the south. Here 1isto-
ry places the cradle of European
races. Here lived our Aryan fore
fathers, who, leaving the Panlir slopes,
followed great rivers westward, and
finally pastured their herds in Europe.
Thither are returning now their de-
scendants, the Slavs and Apglo-Sax-
ons, sooner or later TO contend for
the supremacy OF Asia upon the his
toric ground from which their primi-
tive progenitors are believed to have
migrated.

condition. Francis said that he quar-
relied with the woman last night, left
the house, and that when he returned
ne found her dead. He then put the
body in a bag to throw in the river.

and wife. 1t was evident she had been
strangled. The two had lived and
caroused together, frequently quarrel
ing. Coroner Messemer held q post
mortem examination. The body was
still limp, and was that of an uncom-
monty handsome woman. The result
OF the examination was to clearly
prove case of murder and set at rest
any question about suicide. Her head
was pounded badly, and the expression
OF the face gave evidence that she died
IN great agony.
