TRIPLES.

What are trifles who can tell
All trifle's meaning?
Scattered ears on life's broad field
For wise ones cleaning.
Nought but has its work on earth,
Fraught with pain or pleasure;
Links in natures mystic chain,
Though of tiniest measure.
But trifie seems the word
So unkindly spoken;
Yet the life harp waileth low,
For gold string broken.
But trifie seems q smile
On kind face beaming;
How faint heart groweth strong,
Meath its gentle cleaning!
Just a look may waken thoughts
Full of proud resentment
just look may fill the soul
With a sweet contentment.
Little prayers of children fair;
by their mother kneeling.
Touch worn and weary heart
With child-like feeling.
But flowers perfume may bear
Back through years of sorrow,
To the sunny morn of life,
With bright tomorrow;
And tress of silken hair
On young brow parted.
Wake fount of bitterest tears
For the broken hearted.
Twas single raindrop fell
On a green bud, thirstipg;
Strengthened by the fairy draught,
Lo! flower is bursting;
And an acorn lightly flung
In pathway dreary-
Spread an oaks broad shadows out
TO refresh the weary.
Trlcklinp from the mountains height.
Through the beech-roots stealing,
See, a thread of silver bright,
Sunbeams are revealing;
Drop by drop it gathers fast,
Never resting, never,
Till 1t swells and flashes forth
In glorious river.
Trifles, each one hath part
In our pain or pleasure,
Making up the daily sum
Of our life's brief measure;
All unnoticed as they pass,
Scarcely worth our needing;
Yet a rife it may be
Gods own work is speeding.

Poor FeIIOWsi

Frustrated, debilitated, cnfeebled, they feel as
if they were hardly worth picking up. They
would hardly give the loss of a bright penny
for chance of choice between life and
death. But even such forlorn people can be
renewed by the use of Browns Iron Bitters.
1t vitalizes the blood, tones the nerves, and
renovates the system. Mr.. Isaac G. Weed,
Burr's Mills, o., says, II used Browns Iron
Bitters for general weakness, and it helped

He got the vote.

Twenty Additional stamps to be Pat

Judge Donipha came in from the
Camas No. 2 mill to-day. He reports
everything working satisfactorily out
there, but does not get his mill tim
bers as fast as he would like. He OK
poets one or more Of his partners here
by the first of July, and believes that
they will agree with him that they
should put in four more fve.s stamp
batteries, as he can run 80 stamps
much cheaper, comparatively, than 10
stamps-especially as the boiler, en-
CINE, ETC., are intended for 3O.stamp
mill.
For the present Judge Doniphan
will content himself with working his
ore tor Che free gold it contains; but
he will save his tailings, and as they
will contain fully half the original
value Of precious metals Gncluding
all the silver) he has no doubt but
that they will prove "good pay" tc
work over at some future time.

neglected to mention the elegant coffin

people expressed surprise at the neat

Ore Of the duties devolving on the forty
ninth Congress will be the admission Of
Dakota into the family Of states. II is q
duty which should have been performed by
the last Congress, and which cannot be
longer delayed without inficting a great
wrong on more than half u million of
people. There is no precedent for denial
OF admission to Dakota, and no justilca-
tion of such denial is possible. Her people
are one Of the most intelligent, enterprising,
and moral communities on the continent.
They have built up great state, for II Is
state, and one of the best, In oil but the
formality Of admission TO its rights.
Accustomed as we are to rapid develop
ment Of resources by immigrants II is I'm
possible to read the history and study the
statistics of Dakota without surprise. The
work performed there is an honor to the
country and must lie contemplated with
pride by every patriotic American.
Mr.. j. r. Dodge, statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture, in his October report,
shows that "the progress of settlement in
Dakota has been marvel of activity and
enterprise" lie quotes the territorial cen
sus to show that whereas the population
in 1850 was 1876, 5,177-quito enough for ad-
mission even at that date-it has now
grown to 4l5,G64, Of which there are In
south Dakota 262,515 and 1853, l49 in north
Dakota.
The industrial progress Of Dakota is even
more remarkable than its growth in popu-
lation. The number of farms In 1880 was
17,435. They are now reported at S2,467,
of which 49,G56 are in the southern section
and 1851 In the northern section.
According to Mr.. Dodge, the quest for
free farms in this "easily cultivated and
fertile region" has been so eager that the
territory outranks seventeen Of the thirty
eight states in the number of existing
farms. 1t exceeds the number in Maine,
and, Of course, that Of every other New
England state. 1t surpasses the aggregate
Of California, and of Maryland, and OF
| Delaware. 1t is greater than the combined
number Of Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Connecticut, and more than all the
farms in Oregon, Nevada, and Colorado in
the west, and Rhode Island, Delaware, and
Florida in the east-the six states taken to-
gether
That there is no lack Of labor is shown
by the fact that there are five times as many
people in the territory as there are farms
In the estimates Of the United States agri
cultural department of more than 500,
100000 bushels of wheat last year DakotG
took position as the eleventh In rank II
wheat production. No state east Of the
Alleghanies or south of the Ohio stood be
fore 1t, and even Wisconsin held lowel
place.
! We prefer to leave out of this discussion
the question Of dividing Dakota into two
states. She has more than the requislt,
population for such division, but her Owl
people should determine whether to CONT
in as one or two members of the fedora
family. But the door for Dakota's admis
sion should be lifted ut once.

The long and hardly contested campaign
g. 49, - --- -. .' % -'u hnuse of commons
that has kept Great Britain and Ireland In
turmoil for weeks past is now about to
terminate, as the elections have already be-
gun. The campaign has taken on strange
aspects of late. A short time back the result
seemed easy of prediction, for the prospec-
tive success Of the liberals was hardly
challenged in any quarter, but the new
elements introduced IN the last fortnight
have been of such potency that the tories
have an undeniable chance for strengthen
ing and maintaining their present control
ling position.
The liberals have made a campaign Of
blunders, while their tory opponents have,
oddly enough, shown degree Of enterprise
and tactical shrewdness that is hardly In
accordance with their popular reputation.
The skillful manner in which the question
of disestablishment was suddenly pushed to
the front and made the means of bringing
about serious defectlons from the liberals
was stroke of high political strategy that
even Mr.. Gladstone's great influence has
not been able to wholly counteract. 1t is
patent that his late speeches have served to
put new vigor and courage into his follow
ers, but the disestablshment scare has de-
prived the liberal party Of the great innence
of such personages as the Dukes Of West
minister, Bedford, and Argyle, and even OF
Lord Selborne, who was Mr.. Gladstone's
lord chancellor during his last administra-
tion.
But chief and most prominent of all
things that color the British political situa-
tion is the apparent certainty that Ireland
and Ireland's friends are to exercise the de-
termining influence In the present election
and have the whip-hand in the new house
OF commons. Mr.. Parnell and his adher-
ents have made no mistakes. They have
had their minds made up as TO what they
wanted all along, and have moved toward
the attainment of their purpose with such
union of counsel and vigor of method that it
! is well assured that liberals and tories alike
will In the next parliament be forced to
court the Irish members and make liberal
concessions to Irish demands.
Lord Salisbury has declared In speech
made within O week that conservative
majority is insured. But political leaders
in England like political leaders in America
are liable to make mistakes, and in this
case the chances are In favor Of the pre-
sumption that Lord Salisbury may possibly
be found to haYe made q mistake. The late
redistribution Of seats was undoubtedly a
measure in favor of the liberals, and their
gains from that source should suffice TO Offset
in some measure their losses through the dis
establishment issue and Mr. Parnell's in
structions to Irish voters. The outcome of
the elections, as between the liberals and
tories, will probably be a moderate excess of
liberal members elected but between the
two parties, and in position to dictate to
either, or both, will be Mr.. Parnell and a
compact party of eighty or ninety Irish
memlers-elect.
