FRONTIER EXPERIENCES
BY THE LATE STANLEY HUNTLEY.

To a man coming back into the re. gions of civilization, after years of yer. sa'ile experience on the western frontier the little details that make up city life look inhnitesimal and infinitely absurd The rarrow boundaries within which existence is conhned, the minute instance to which so much importance is attached appear to him marvelously ridiculous
 while the staid decorum of daily inter. course, and the wonderful sel6shness that prevails, induce a wonder in the mind oi him accustomed to the frontier whether alter all, civilization is the result of re- med influences or prosidentially pre- served element of savagery. The cir cumscrioed limits of city day, and the barren monotopy of metropolitan experi- ence, suggest to him the reflection that wh'le even the urban fellow knows there are some things, no ellow knows how many there really are until he has enocked around among them.
 Besides all this, he wonders gravely al the display of ignorance coacerning the actual state of affairs in the much. writ !en-up and poeucally termed Far West;" ignorance that might far more prohtab'y be put into not a few ofthe ele- ments of city life Eminent authors and ooservant tourists appear to have educa- !ed the pubic up to state of profound lmbeciiity on the subject of western GUS loms and manners, and the prevailing impression appears to obtain that the profession of the frontiersman is to crawl On his knees while he whispers Ir juns to companion who .s just had a long and unsatisfactory discussion with a
 0Ar." The gentleman from the ex- aemes is also generally pictured s grizziy in appearance, clad in gar nents we'll fringed, wearing a phenome
 aally broad brimmed hat and delusively cng hair. The chief end of his man Aood is ordinarily depicted as being To- eated up tree in which painter has oken refuge, and-but it would take col anns to polnt out the varieties of life to saich the able pen of the author and tourist have suoje him, varieties in songruous throughout, speculative at est, all wrong at most, and incontrover- aosy demonstr ating that the tourist and sathor have su died the subject from afar
 1t is an established fact that life, man !. aess and customs in Ne~ York city differ
 vastly from tue manners, customs and ne in frentier town, as do the various
 aSious denominations on the short road bliss. And it is equally true that the aaa from the west looks upon eastern sshrs with as much suspicion as the aes York club man would regard the leculiarisies of home existence in a prai-
 village in the territories. To the asmer everything is cramped and queesed up. while to the latter there
 euld appear a development of freedom
 sd certain breezinexs not at all consis. eat with club rules or the higher social
 escriptions. But to paint the western
 a'sen as an outlaw, or merely grub

 AN ADDRESS TO FORTUNE.
BY s. s. DAWES.

Priihee. Fortune cease thy frown,
 For frowns become not one so fair; Crush not my busyant spirits down,
 But le, me of thy bounty share! feel ev'n as the fragile reed,
 When ioss'd by winters surly wind; Yet, still dost thou in time of need,
 Prove more ungentle and unkind. Daily see the proud-the gay
 The wary, kees, designing knave- Each can thy goodly gifts display,
 While am but-thy abject slave! As beagles timid hares pursue,
 So hath thy goal oft-times been won; Through matrimonial schemes undue, I've seen thee crown some favor'd son. The man of guilt, by sin deep stain'd,
 Inured 10 viciousness and crime Nay, darker deeds than these have Rain'd, Thy courts-thy gracious smiles benign. I've known some wight-some ca,if elf, Servilely hold thee in command; And black hypocrisy itself,
 Upon thy burnish'd platform stand. Will Virtue ne'er thy wrath appeasei
 And wilt thou liadly, still accord Thy aims to grow Hing souls like these, And yield to merit no rewardi Hast thsu naught reserved for me
 Cansr nothing to thy vot'ry spare No boon to give in sympathy,
 To make my pathway bright and cleart Must like those I'd fain condemn,
 Instruct my knees to bow in prayeri Act divers wiles and arts like them,
 And school my tongue to scof and sheer Must [, too teach my heart deceit, Fals ehood. chicsne and treachery- And all my feelings counterfeit,
 Before thou It smiles bestow on me. Asuppliant oft l've bow'd to thee,
 And reverenced thy metallic name: With fervent love and constancy,
 Eve knelt and worshiped at thy fane. I've striven hard thy smiles to win But let me not my plaints rehearse, Nor tell how stngy thou hast been
 In dull, prosaic, begging verse! Then, come, sweet ct tarmer-Forlune fair fain would be some Vanderbilt; And would nt here offend thy ear,
 By calling ,hee-a heartless jilt Too long thou'st been to vag'ry prone Excuse me if my ohrasc seems cFuel} But" evils length ned Root, I'd own, Though it should sink my soul to sheol. Renown'd like Corcoran would be, For philanthropic acts of worth; Or like the n ble eabody,
 Whose charities make glad the earth = Emulous, and with good intent,
 I'd have the ike of me be said; But how, with lfe's scant earnings spent, Can fame be won without thy aid Thy tardy favors haunt me yet,
 And soon viii fade from earth my name, Life s waning sun must ear y set,
 Then, why so long defer my claim! o, goddess fair would that some charm Some iallsman Hermss could give, By which might thy wrath disarm, And N in from durance vile-repreve.

sumpsion of barley is imported. We
do not grow even the cereals required.
Wo boast OF our exports of products
o agriculture. We foolishIy talk of
feeding the nations of the world. We
do not feed ourselves. In 1883 we
paid $240, 100000 for food and drink
imported, and the frcights, commits
sions, and custom duties in addition;
and our food exports, at prices on the
farm and in the packing houses,
scarcely suiliccd to pay the bills of costs
of such imports. A large item of this
was sugar. Thirty wears ago half tho
sugar used in the United States was
produced in Louisiana. 1t is possible
that European agriculture can be
threatened with paralysis by American
competition, and that this couutrv can-
| not produce sugar on account of Euro
pcan competition? Less than q cen
tury ago it cost 81 pound to produce
| 1t there; now 3 cents. While we do
not expect to manufacture it from
sorghum at Il cost OfOnC cent per pound
or flood the markets of the world with
our surplus production in five years,
It is fair to presume that the great
| producing country of the world will
ultimately obtain much of its sugar
from sorghum. The cane regions of
Louisiana, Florida and Texas, by the
ald Of some process which shall not
allow a waste OF 10 per cent, of uncX-
pressed sugar, should aid materially in
the home supply for the wants Of CON
sumption. The trouble with our
farmers, with all their energy and
dash, is q dislike for new methods,
adherence to routine, and impa:icncc
in waiting for results. They will cX-
change sheep for hogs, or cicc rcr$a,
in tWinkling, as prices vecr, but will
not experiment for the ultimate success
of new rural industries. But the
prosperous farmer should cultivate Il
generous public spirit, rs well as a
laudab)c esprit dc corps, and take some
risk in intelligent experiment that

and advance of the public welfare -

Civil Service Reform.

CHICAGO, Jan. I. Elk Seuator Mcdonald,
interviewed by an Inter Ocean reporter, re-
gardiag cabinet prospects, Mr.. Mcdonald
was very reticent. He, however, spoke free
" on civil service reform and other current
topics. Mr.. Mcdonald said he would not
have voted for the civil service law, owing
to variety of reasons, one being its undue
principle of perpetuity in office, to which ne
objected believing it not according to the
genius OF our institutions and going back TOO
much to British model; but having such
law upon the statute books, he believed it
to be the duty Of the President to enforce it,.
This duty, Mr.. Mcdonald believed, he
would certainly perform. Mr.. Mcdonald
regarded the Presidenc's- select recent letter
on this subject as u fair and clear exposition
of Mr.. C'eveand's inten tons in this respect.
He did not think that Mr.. Cleveland was
man given to double dealing, or that he in
tended that anything should be read be-
tween lines. Referring to cases of violent
partisans 10 Office, Mr.. Mcdonald said ne
believed Mr. Cleveland would, in decided
cases, undoubtedly exercise whatever pow
ers of removal he had under the law and
leave the Senate to act in the matter as it
should please. Faithful public officers, Mr.
Mcdonald thought, would be retained un-
til their terms expired. He did not believe,
however, that Mr.. Cleveland would feel IN
der obligations regarding appointments.

qnakes have been recorded as occurring in
Canada and the United States, not including

country divided into three districts-oue ex-
tending from the Pacific Ocean eastward, to
include. Idaho, Utah and Arizona, which
may be called the Pacific slope; the second
extending from Montana, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO and New Mexico eastward, to include
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama,
which may be called the Mississippi valley !;
and the third, or Atlantic slope, extending
eastward again TO the Atlantic Ocean, and
