THE MIS7LETOE BOUGH

The mistlctoc hung in the Casilc-hall
And the Baron rcaincrs were bli,h and gay
And keep ne their Christmas hol day,
The Baron bch Id with fathers pride
His beautiful ch ID young Lovcl's bride;
While she with her bright eyes seemed to be
The sthr Of The goodly company.
I'm weary of dancing now sii" crrd
Here, tarry momcnt-Tll hide! III hide,
And, Lowell, be sure thou'rt first to trace
The clue TO my secret lurking place
Away she ran--and her friends began
Each tower to search and each nook to scan;
And young Lowell red, 20, where dost thoa
hide?
Pm lonesome without thee my own dear
bride"
They sought her that night, and they sought
her next day,
And they sought her in vain when a week
passed away,
In the CHEST, in the loves the lonlicst spot,
Young Lowell sought wildy-but found
her not
And years flew by, an their grief at least
Was told ~ a sorrowful tale long aast.
And when Lowell appeared the children cried,
See, The Old man wccps for his fairy bride"
AT length an oak chest that had long laid hid,
Was found in the castle they raised the lid,
And skeleton form lay mpuldcring there,
In the bridal wreath OF that laiy fair!
0, sad was her fate lin sporlive jest
She hid from her lord in the old 0 TX chest,
1t closed with spring and dreadful doom,
The bride lay claspc in her living tomb!

Alfred Hartleigh the interesting young

DETERMINATION.

The depredations of the murderous
band of Apaches that has so long
harassed the people of Southern New
Mexico, has at last thoroughly aroused
the people Of that territory, who.
through their representatives, have
notified the government that they
determined on policy of extermina-
ton They are tired of Gen. Crook s
dilly-dallying with this little band OF
cut-throats, and recommend the equip
ment of regiment of frontiersmeI
TO deal with them. The scheme is g
good one. The band certainly de-
serves no more consideration than a
similar band of whites. They repre-.
sent nothing; are simply q band OF
robbers and cut-throa,s. 1t is fully
time this whole Indian business wa;
settled. Deal with hands of this sort
as gangs of white thieves are dealt
with. Make the Indians citizens
amenabIe to the laws of the country,
give each leo acres of LAID and lei
them live or die Relegatc the Indian
agents TO the business OF making az
honest living and tear the barnacies
that fatten on the offices of state from

We would respectfully suggest TO
the attorney general that inasmuch as
there is no way of showing Emporis
out of the state. he so there and get
an order from the courts requiring the
people of that place to behave them
selves and no longer disgrace the state.
The saloons of Dodge and Leaven-
worth are mere local affairs, while the
stencil of Emporia is affecting all OF
us. We scarcely recovered from the
trouble with Acting Mayor Walkup.
when the news broke upon us that the
mayor of the city had done California
with a strange woman. The next we
hear the woman happens along and
the mayor goes out on the road 10
meet her. Upon his return home he
offers his wife $4,000 for divorce.
This is no sooner hushed than the tel
egraph tells US that the janitor of the
Jail and the sheriff's boy each max affi-
davit that they had been guilty of ILL
cit intercourse with Mrs. Walkup
while she was a prisoner. Can't the
attorney general do something to pro-
tect US from any more Emporia? Ii
not, then somebody had better start s
saloon down there to purify the moral
atmosphere City Union.

STILL A SKUNK q.

There is no law in Kansas prohibit
ing an editor making a disgusting ass
of himself, and for that reason the ed
ifor OF the Wichita Beacon VIII go I'M
punished.
He may throw his pole-cat stink at
us whenever il suits him, for we
always give a skunk free rope ana il
never harms US, but it will always
prove with each sqirt that this editor
is still skunk.
And now, TO speak plainly, there
was no collision in the appointment OF
Wall, and this liar of the Beacon knew
it. There was no purchase and sale
10 The matter, and this dirty slanderel
of the Beacon knew that. We simply
suggested 20 him to cease his senseless
howl: that the people here are tired Of
il. and Governor Martin would in nc
event have consulted him as 10 who
he would appoint. And, too, he
flies into 4 scnseless rage
and attempts TO cover us ul
with his slime. The point we now
make is this, and we believe that nine
teen-rweniieth of the people of Sedg
wick county will agree with US, that
when the editor of the Beacon charges
Judges Slnss and Wall and Governor
Martin, or either of them with g:
bargain and sale" and corruption
in the matter of appointing Wal
Judge, that he writes himself down
colossal liar. The editor ofihe Monito

he is too old to make fool of himself

Beacon editor will never reach.-Ft

the bulk of his fortune? Most people
do not. To the average mind the con-
certion of enormous wealth is much
the same whether it be reckoned in
hundreds of millions or yigintillions.
The human mind cannot grasp these
great sums or clearly appreciate the
difference between 100000, 900 and
200, OO0,O
Let us try and describe Mr.. Wander
bits great fortune in terms OF linear.
squafe and cubic measurement and OF
weight. Everybody understands these
terms and they make a definite i'm
preston on mems minds.
If the sum of $500, 00O, 600 were in
standard silver dollars it would pre-
sent such features as this:
Put leDgthwise, dollar after dollar,
it would stretch a distance of 4,672
miles, making a silver streak from
New York across the ocean TO Liver
pool. -,
Piled up, dollar on dollar, it would
reach a height of 800 miles.
Laid fiat on the ground, the do liars
would cover space Of nearly sixty
acres.
The weight of the mass of silver
would be 1850 tons.
To transport it would require 500
cars, carrying twenty tons each this
is the capacity of the strongest freight
cars) and making train just about
two and half miles long.
On ordinary grades it would require
twelve locomotives to haul this train.
On roads of steep grades and sharp
curves, fifteen or twenty locomotives
would be needed.
In one dollar bills this $500, OOO, OOO
fortune would assume such a shape as
this:
The bills stretched lengthwise would
extend % ga miles, or nearly the CIR
conference of the earth at the equator.
Piled up one on another, close as
leaves in a new book, they would
reach height of twelve miles.
Spread out on the ground, they
would cover TAG acres. or nearly the
whole surface of Central Park. inciud-
ing ponds and reservoirs.
A safe deposit vault TO contain
these bills would require to be twen-
ty-three feet long, twsnty-two feet
wide, and twenty feet high.

An Interesting Relic.

John O'Connor of Toledo, has in his
possession an interesting relic IN the
shape of supplement to the Denver
Tribune of July A, 1883. 1t is fac sim
lie copy Of the Vicksburg Citizvl printed
20 years before at the time Of Lie siege
of that city. 1t is printed on the hack
Of piece Of wall paper and is full ot
fun concerning kitten Steaks" aud
other dslicacies enjoyed by the Vicks-
burg people. The body Of the paper was
printed on the second of July, and at the
bottom OF the second column 10 a some
what lengthy item on General Grant, in
which it laughs at his claim that he
would eat dinner on the Fourth In Vicks-
burg. saying that he must "catch the
rabbit" 1t contains the, to US, astonish-
ing assertion that Maryland will fall
to-day. Psnnsylvania tomorrow. and
Ohio, which now hangs In the balance
like Mahommed's coffin, will follow" AT
the bottom of the last column are added
a few lines on the 4th, which states that
Grant was right. that he has caught
the rabbit" and has Toasted in Vicks7
burg. The whole is very interesting. 3

A Free Trade PHI.

1t is bad thing, sometimes, to DO
compelled to take dose of your own
medicine. The English manufacturers
are strong advocates of free trade so long
as they can turn it to their OVID advan-
tage, but when it operates against them,
they are as ready to complain as any
body. In the House of Commons of the
British parliment recently. complaints
were made against the government for
giving an American frm the contract
for pumps for the Suakim-Berber rail
way, in the SOudan. 1t was claimed
that the contract should have been given
TO English manufacturers, in the in
terest Of British industries and British
wOrkingmen, without regard to whether
American manufacturers could do it
quicker, better, and cheaper, or not. The
surveyor general Of ordnance, in defence
of the actien Of the government, said he
would be greatly surprised if English
makers could or would undertake the
work as quickly as the American irm
had. The emergency called for the con-
struction Of the road with the least
possible delay, and the preference had
been given to the American firm on ac-
count Of their ability to fulfill their
contract with the greatest dispatch. OF
course this was all the more calling be
cause English makers knew that the
protective policy alone had built up the
great works in America which were now
able to step in and take an important
and profitable contract away from Brit
lsh manufacturers, who had had all the
advantages Of free trade. Enghshmen
never tire OF telling Americans how
much better il would DO for them TO
allow England to- do their maRufactur-
ing. They ought not to complain now
when they are asked to allow Americans
to do some aOf their manufacturing
when it can be done quicker, better, and
cheaper than they can do it themselves.
1t is only putting in practice their own
pet theory. Toledo Blade.
