Out where the scurIying, fierce surges fly O

Down to her matches fraught with base pi
iron,
And no champagne,
Must she, the pet and darling of the Naval
| Advisory Board,
| Venture her sweet, frail life, whereto CAV

Under the contract-and go helter- skelter
Tossing about,
Where bright right whales and swifter dol
phins welter
In noisy rout?
l have built ships when Robertson was mas
ter,
And Chandler, too,
And these were ne'er expected to go faster
Than when they flew,
Tied to the dock, heroically steaming,
Knot after knot;
No thought was given mid noses redly

To journals hot;
While to the pile held fast the creaking cable,
The shaft might smash,
The crank pin burst; what of it? 1 was able
To get my cash.
But hang this Democratic Secretary,
Most impolite!
He's always watching, Argus-like and wary,
To bind me tight.
For now, alas the old flush time is over,
The soft snap past,
And shut that field of Robbersonian clover
While 1, at last,
Held by the tautest Democratic tether,
Must plough in pain,
Out in the very meanest kind of weather,
The dreary main.
NY wee, sweet Dolphin! Though base
landsmen mock her,
She's fleet enough;
And if she Escapes grim Davy Jones's locker
When seas are rough;
If nothing smashes, blows up, stops within
her
Peculiar works,
She'll do well yet-that Is, for beginner
Full of queer quirks.
But why with iron load her to the matches?
Her mission is
To saunter 'round with nothing but des-
patches,
Cigars, and fizz.
With these, and well-fed, easy experts fill
her,
And let her go,
And wind or tide shall not avail to spill her
II she goes slow;
But if, when tempests fast and ever faster
Lash Oceans back,
She's urged too far, look to it lest disaster
Bring her to wrack:
Look tot lest down " here boss whales let
their tall fins
Through the green wave,
Down, down among the somewhat speedier
dolphins,
She find her grave.

amount of carefully prepared "testi-

Royal Railway Commission to protect

are similar complaints of preferential

manufacturers, boards of trades and

louder outcry about these things in

A st. Louis Bonanza.

The Stockholders of the Grant,
Mountain Mining Company of Mon
tana, yesterday received the following
significant notice: "Please call at the
office for information.n A "call at the
office" developed the fact that the val
ue of the shares of the company had
suddenly jnmped from about So to SIC
each. This company was organized
ABOUT three years ago, with 400, 200
shares and capital stock of $4,000
0OO, which represents the amount which
It's organizers have ''in the hole.U The
stock is entirely owned by st. Louis
parties, and was purchased as low as
l6 cents share. The stock has al
ways been an advancing one, going up
by jumps of 25 and so cents, until q
year and a half ago it was purchased
at ST. per share. TIE company struck
a lead which assayed 800 ounces. and
shipped silver bullion to the amount
of $4,000 to $780, 900 week. The
"strike" which advanced the shares
to $40 was lode about 800 feet in
length and to feet wide, yielding
ore which will mill 27S to 900 ounces
of silver per ton. The richness of the
mine is believed to be as yet only par
TALLY developed. Among the lucky
owners of it's stock are the following
residents of st. Louis: Mrs. Susan Nc
Ciure Clark; $4,000 shares; Mo
Clure, $4,000 shares; L. NJ. Rumsey,
Nose Rumsey, A. B. Ewing and Louis
Dustro, 81 900 shares each; John r.
Llonberger, A. F. Chapkey, and Mrs.

susz, 10 600; 0. B. Filley, 5000; A. b.
Coit, 5000, and Paul Fusz, 5000. The |

1000 to 100 shares. Rival brokers ac-

Railway Commissions.

With railroad commissions maintain.
ed at the public expense in twenty-nine
States, the railroads are crying fol
more. Although originally opposed te
such "State Inference" the railroad
interest has found these commissions
not only inofensive, but useful and
useable. They have helped to quiet
popular agitation and have done the
railroads no harm. Even their sworn
official reports of the net earnings and
true value of railroad property are treat
ed with contemptuous disregard by the
other State officers who assess the prop
erty for taxation. Hence the demand
for National Railroad Commission TO
head off any legislation which threat
ems to put in the hands of the people

The Freak OF an Actor.

Previl!e occupied about the same no.

that David Garrick did in England.
Dut In no respect was he to be compar-

The twain speedily found an emptv
coach and got in, upon which Previlie
ordered the coachmau to driveon The
latter answered that he would do so a.
soon as he should get his complement
OF four passengers. He could not AT.
ford to drive that distance for half-fare
only. :
A freak seized Garriok. Simply
changing the position of his hat, and
putting on the face of Ben Israel ne
slipped out of the coach on the far Side
and came round again as though he
had just come up.

whole face, his only disguise being the

Even Preville was himself this time

enter, having this time addressed the
coacnman In the idiom of Bohemia.
Preville put out his hand to keen hin,

This is the bait the
fishermen take,

take, the fishermen take,
when they start out the
fish to wake SO
early in the
morning. They
take nip before they goa
good one, ahl and ong and slow,
for fear the chills would lay them low
SO early in the morning. Another when
they're on the street, which they repeat each
time they meet for "luck''-for that's the
way to greet fisher in the morning. And
when they are on the rivers brink again
they drink without wink-to fight ma
laria, all by the doctors warning.
They tip flask with true delight
when there's bite; if fishing's light
they "smile" the more till jolly tight
all fishing they are scorning. An
other nip as they depart; one at the
mart and one to part, but none
when in the house they dart, ex-

men try who fishes buy at

one bigger lie of fish

Greeting the Statue of Liberty.

Flags were waving last Friday morn
ing from the tops of the principa
buildings throughout the City of New

Bartholdi statue of Liberty Enlight

the river front and the vessels in tn
harbor were gaily decorated in homo

trains brought thousands of stranger
from the country in all directions, and
Broadway, and the streets adjacent
were thronged with people wendinf
their way to points from which a good
view OF the military and civic parade
attending the reception of the statue
could be witnessed. The harbor pre-
sented beautiful appearance that
morning, being studded with the white
| sails of finnumerable yachts and numer-
Gus excursion boats awaiting the mov-
ing OF the naval procession. Shortly
after O'Clock the mayor, president,
board of aldermen. municipal officers,
members Of the reception and other
committees embarked On special steam-
boats and proceeded down the lower
bay to the Isere. Arriving alongside
OF the vessel they boarded her, paid
their respects to the commander and
officer, sand the mayor acting as spokes-
man bade them hearty welcome to
New York. The mayor then rendered
them the hospitalities of the city and
invited them to a formal reception at
city hall in the afternoon. After the
interchange of few remarks the may

O'Clock the fort at Sandy Hook thun-
dered forth salute to the French flag,
which was shortly after, followed by a |
signal from Commodore Chandler's
vessel notifying the vessels to form in

fell into line as follows: United States

ed slowly up the bay, receiving salutes
from the fort at the Narrows, Fort
Columbus, Castle William, Fort Wood
and other batteries i'm the harbor.
These were replied to by the French
