You Kissed Me.
BY JOSEPHINE 8. HUNT.


The following exquisite poem was written in
1857, when the author was young lady under
twenty. Whittier wrote of it and its author that
she had truly mastered the secret of English verse
You kissed me my head
Dropped low on your breast,
With feeling of shelter
And infinite rest;
While the holy emotions
My tongue dare not speak
Flashed up in a flame
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast
Oh, your arms were so bold!-
Heart beat against heart
In your passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes,
AS the sun draws the mist
From the seas to the skies.
Your lips clung to mine
Till I prayed in bliss
They might never unclasp
From the rapturous kiss.
You kissed me my heart
And my breath and my will,
In delerious joy
For q moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were I this instant
An angel, possessed
Of the peace and the joy
That are given the blest,
would fling my white robes
Unrepentingly down,
would tear from my forehead
Its beautiful crown,
To nestle once more
In that haven of rest,
Your lips upon mine,
My head on your breast.
You kissed me my soul,
In o bliss so divine,
Reeed and swooned like drunken man,
Foolish with wine;
And thought 'twere delicious
To die there, if death
Would but come while my lips
Were yet moist with your breath;
If my heart might grow cold
While your arms clasped me round
In their passionate fold.
And these are the questions
ask day and night:
Must my lips taste no more
Such exquisite delight?
Would you care if your breast
We're my shelter as then,
And if you were here,
Would you kiss me again?

her husband in Iowa. He had eloped
from Maine with a neighbor's spouse.
There were only slight clues to aid the
pursuer, and she was about to give up
the chase when, in driving through a
rural town, she saw lawn lettered in
flowers with the word "Rosalie." That
was the name of the fugitive woman,
and her partner was skillful florist.
The wife did not wait to have the gate
opened, but urged her horse right
through it, so excited and confident
was she; and she made no mistake tor
the guilty couple was found there.

B9Somebody has said, what every
body has observed, that those persons
who have attained to eminence in any
vocation of life have followed a uniform
course, that of earnest work and un-
wearied application. None are truly
happy but those that are busy; for the
only real happiness lies in useful work OF
some kind, either of the hand or the
head, so long as over-exertion of either
is avoided. 1t should be the aim OF
every one to be employed. If all men
and women were kept at some useful
employment, there would be less sorrow
and wickedness in the world.

THE REPUBLICAN SENATE.
Its Probable Course Next Winter on Presiden-
tial Appointments.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The Times Detroit
correspondent interviewed Conger who said
In relation TO the Presidents appointments
and the Senate's power of confirmation at
may as well be understood we have con.
ferred with each other, exchanged views and
to certain extent formulated plans for next
winter, when the nominations will come In.
You may put 1t down as pretty certain that
tie Republican Senators will concede to the
President the absolute right to name men Of
his own choosing for any two kinds Of posi-
tions-frst, those whose terms of Office have
expired. In regard to them there will be no
controversy whatever. Second, those posi-
lions which are in any way connected with
the policy of the administration. This is
for precisely the same reason that the Presi-
dent should and does have the privilege OF
naming his own cabinet. There is hardly q
case on record where the Senate has In any
way interfered with such appointments. Any
others that are in any way identified with
the policy Of the administration will be con-
coded to the President without question:
Conger continued by saying that civil SER
vice reform would be looked into searching
iy, as we'll as the offensive partizanship
question, and where unqualified officers are
appointed for term of years, there might be
considerable trouble.

Riei Does the Baby Act.

QUEBEC, July 3.-A letter has been re-
ceived by DR.. Fiset from Louis Riel. After
speaking Of his ready surrender, his chance
to escape II he wished to do so, and the spe-
clfc effect his surrender had In bringing the
rebellion to . close, RIel says 1t should ha
some weight in securing him hearing be
fore the supreme court In Lower Canada,
for 1t is there alone he can procure all his
witnesses. He says he was In the United
States laboring to create q future for him
self, when he was invited among the half
breeds TO assist them IN petitioning the gov
eminent. He worked peacefully until the
time when arms we're taken up. He says,
also, that he never dreamed of war, but by
intrigue and forged letters complication of
affairs was brought about by interested par
ties. He desired TO return to the United
States, but the people would not listen to
him. On March 18th they were proceeding
to st. Laurent to celebrate the feast of St..
Joseph, and had to pass St. Antoine en- route,
when they learned that 600 policemen were
coming by forced marches to dispense them
and kill their leaders. When the half. breeds
learned this they stopped their wagons and
made an arrest Of an Indian agent. They
also made one or two other arrests. Riel
says be was not present when these arrests
were made, but he was notified, and when
he went to the place he found the people had
decided to take up arms In their defense.
In twenty -four hours the whole population
were In arms. He concludes by asking not
TO be treated like . murderer, and not to be
chained before the jury have pronounced
upon his case, and feels confident they will
not find him guilty. lie says his incarcera-
ton 10 telling upon his health, notwithstand-
ing the kind attention of his jailers.

RAILROAD RATES.
SOME REASONS WHY THEY SHOULD BE
REDUCED.
Expression the Railroad Companies Should
Consider.
Frofn the Missoulian. 3rd.

from ue MSsohHdn, sra.
The suggestion of the Ne,o North. West to
the managers of railroads In this Territory
to reduce the rates Of local passenger trans.
portation is certainly a wise one. Eight
cents per mile in unquestionably excessively
high, and the experience of all railroad CON-
panies in the past teaches that each reduc-
ton In rates is more than made up in travel.
This general principle was illustrated very
forcisly in the reduction of postage by the
general government. Although the postal
rates have in the past three or four years
been reduced fifty to seventy five per cent.
the deficiency which the postal department
usually shows up is steadily decreasing.
Given a rate of five cents mile in this Ter
rItory for local passenger travel, and 1t Is
probable the amount Of travel would be
doubled while the cost of carrying the in
creased number of passengers would be lit
tie more than it is at present. Certainly
this would be the case on the Northern Pa
cifc road, which now runs long passenger
trains for avery margre supply of passengers.
We 'hink the knowledge of low rates pre-
vailing would also prove good feature in
directing emigration to this section, and this
is what the road as we'll as the country
wants. Tourists, too, when coming to the
National Park and to other points, would
probably travel more frequently to other
noted places, If they found the local rates
were reasonable. There are other reasons
for reduction In rates which will suggest
themselves to the railroad managers, and we
trust they will take the matter into early and
careful consideration.

Butte Totpn Talk. Julu Sd.

The New NoTRH WEST of last week con-
tanned an able leader on railroad fares. 1t
urges upon railroad companies the import
ance Of q reduction IN the rates of local
travel, and calls upon the newspapers the
country to lend a helping hand in bringing
part Of railroads. And well it may, says the
Dillon Tribune, for it is an end much to be
desired. The ground that the cost of ope.
rating railroad line Is just about the same
whether the local trade Is great or small, Is
we'll taken and there is no gaipsaying the
fact that the receipts from the passenger
travel Of our railroads would foot up more
annually If fares were reduced to four cents
per mile instead of being held at eight cents
Is is now the case. We believe If the rail-
road authorities were well posted in re-
gard TO the country as they would make the
reduction business venture, for 1t could
not result but benefcislly to them. The
business of the country will not at this age
of reduced prices justify a great deal of 60
ing at eight cents per mile, but at four cents
. mile travel would be brisk. The people
only feel able to spend certain amount of
money for this purpose, and they would do
this, no matter how low the fare was, and it
would cut no figure with the railroad com.
pany If they rode twice for 1t or only once.
This Is very important move, and we trust
our people will agitate the matter until the
attention of the proper authorities be called
TO it and the experiment made.

Nissould Times, July 81.

The question of local railway passenger
pers, and 1t seems to be the universal con-
vIction that q reduction ought to be made.
The rats on the Rocky Mountain Division of
the Northern Pacific is eight cents per mile,
which is more than is charged on any other
division of the road. The rate on the next
division east is, we believe, seven cents.
Here in the mountains, where the market
facilities are the poorest, the people are
charged the most for transportation. This
is an instance Of the magnanimity of rails
road managers. But the main question by
no means relates to passenger rates. 1t Is
the freight rates In which the people sre
chiefly interested. When the productions of
the range, and mine, and farm, and forest,
can be shipped to market for a just expendi-
ture, the people will be prosperous, and the
passenger rate, which is q second considers
ton, will not cause much grumbling, even If
it Is excessively high. When our thrifty
farmers are afforded reasonable shipping
rates and are making money, The amount
they will be required to spend In passenger
tickets will be but drop in the bucket.
Minnesota -four is laid down In New York
cheaper than Bitter Root oats in Butte.
Iowa hogs and Illinois corn and Wisconsin
butter are laid down In New York and Bos-
ton for less money than is charged for trans
porting products from Missoula to Butte.
This is question truly serious, and the
more 1t is discussed, ventilated and fought,
the sooner will reduction be made.

The Spreckles Acquittal.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Eastern journalistic
enterprise has another illustration in the
five-line press dispatch inserted among minor
items in our papers, announcing the verdict
in the Spreckels case. The only comment
upon it appears in the World, which says :
"The opinion seems to prevail in San Fran
cisco that shooting an editor is not much Of
an offense."
The Times received Frisco special which
1t prints without comment, as follows: "The
result of the protracted trial was a genuine
surprise to the community. The people,
knowing the wealth of the defendants fam
lily, expected a disagreement of the jury,
but were unprepared for an acquittal. The
comment heard on all sides to, night is /:
well, money can do anything in this city.
The circumstances lending force to this view
Is the fact that when the verdict was an
nounced the court room was filled with
Spreckles' friends, who evidently anticipa-
ted what was coming and were prepared to
receive the announcement of the jury with
cheers. The better element revolts against
the verdict"

"At the late session of the circuit court oil
Clay county, held at Liberty, there was pre-

appear for trial. The case was SO extraor.

There Is, at this term of court, In Clay

Clay county was the home Of the notori
Gus James boys, and the idea has prevailed
that 1t was lawless and criminal in the high.
est degree. The above indicates an entirely
different state Of affairs. Perhaps 1t Is some
what owing to the fact that there Is not q
saloon in the county, the people opposing
them, and no license having been granted to
one in the past ten years. The people ex'
cuse themselves fer not having brought the
James boys to justice on the ground that
their relatives lived in the county, but the
James boys were almost continuously else
where.

unlawful cohabitation. Two Of the wives

to-day for unlawful cohabitation. He has
three wives, and waived an examination,
being held in $500 bonds; the witnesses
in $500 each.
The City Council in secret session to-day
unanimously adopted the report Of the COM
mittee, upholding the half masting of flags
on the Fourth of July, because of the raid
on prominent Mormons for living up to their
rights as American citizens, and endorsing
the acts of the police in resisting the efforts
to raise them to the top of the poles. They
plead the act of four years ago in half
masting the flags when President Garfield
was shot, as a precedent, and expressing the
same sentiment of sorrow they feel now.
The committee finds no disrespect to the
flag was intended, but they only did it as
expressing the feelings and sentiments OF
the great majority Of the people. The Coun-
Gil Is unanimously Mormon.
