A Shower OF Butterflies.

For some days past the children of Pam
rapo, \. J. have enjoyed new amuse-
ment. The boys abandoned ball and bat
and the girls laid aside their dolls. ON
Wednesday morning thousands OF beautl-
ful butterflies, some with white wings,
some blue, some golden, but the vast ma
jority of light brown speched with dark
red, clouded the sky over the housetopo Of
Pamrapo, and attracted by the sweetness
of its shrubbery, meadows, lawns and
flowers, alighted upon the village The
children were not slow in resolving to play
a part They chased and caught butter
flies by the score for two days, and Oh Fri
day when breakfast was over, prepared
for a third raid, but the objects Of their
previous pastime had disappeared, leaving
all in doubt as to whether 1t was the cold
wave or the children who drove them out.

THE PRESIDENT COMING

Il
The Leavenworth Times says that
Bayard's enthusiasm over the west, and over
Kansas in particular, has fred President
Cleveland with burning desire to make the
trip also, and that he will do so this fail,
coming into the state at Atchison, where be
will entertain one day, then run on over to
Topeka and down to Wichita, returning to
Leavenworth by way of Lawrence and Bis
marck Grove. That is all satisfactory at
this end Of the line. OF course it will be-
come the duty, as it will be the great
pleasure, of the postmaster to entertain his
chief while in the city, but, we suggest, that
if there is not change of postmasters &C.
fore that time, that the Democratic boys owe
it to themselves and the President of these
United States to chip in and help build the
postmaster better house, such an one as
none of us would be ashamed to have his

For the Eagle


Only silken tress,
Yet treasure dearer by far to me
Than the costliest gem on land or sea,
For it carries me back to the days long fed,
When severed the curl from the faxen head
OF Baby Bess.
Only silken tress,
Yet well remember the day, the hour,
That she clasped in her dimpled hand a
flower;
"Oh, mamma. just see. my sweet flower is
dead.
Perhaps cause loved it so WELL" she said.
Dear Baby Bess.
Only silken tress,
But her words float back from the dreamy
past;
Perhaps held my sweet flower too fast,
And loved it too much, for it faded away
And hold but this precious relic to-day,
OF Baby Bess.
Only silken tress.
But the heart of the mother alone can know
How dear such tiny token will grow;
And long will cherish with tender care,
