And why not so?
The Old, old years,
They knew and they know
All our hopes and fears;
We walked by their side, and told them
each grief,
And they kissed off our tears while they
whispered relief;
And the stories of hearts that may not be re-
vealed
In the hearts of the dead years are buried and
sealed.

Clever THEORIES About opals.

The mineralogists and geoiogists
have offered many clever theories to
account for the-splendor of the opal,
but no one has completely satisfied ev-
erybody and perhaps never will. 1t is
coniectured that il is due either to the
presence of water in its composition or
to the disintegration of the lamin@ or
LAYERS of stone, but even this is not
certainly known. The Turks believe
that the gem is of celestial origin, and
thus escape all difficulties at once. The
ancient opal mines have never been
discovered, but there were no doubt
deposits of the precious stones in Ara
bia, Syria, and perhaps other parts-of
Asia, from which the ancients obtained
their gems.
Central America and Mexico abound
in opal bearing districts, which are
much more abundant than might be
supposed; but perhaps the finest opals
in the present day are obtained in
Hungary. The fire opal is found in
the greatest perfection in the porphy-
rite rocks near Zimapad. in Mexico;
but while this variety j. the most beau
tiful of opals, it is also the most sensi-
tive, and is frequently ruined beyond
hope of repair by damp or exposure, or
even by a sudden change in the wealth
er. There. is probably no gem, how
ever, which is more subject to injury
than the opal. Exposure to the light
Injuries it very materially, though there
is not one thing strange about this, the
fact being true also of the anne
thyst, the garnet, and almost all other
precious colored stones.
As stated, the finest opals are now
found in Hungarian mines. When
first extracted from their matrix the
gems are soft. friable, tender, and easi-
" broken. The first thing to be done
is to expose them TO the air and light
for a few days, until they have become
hard, and then their colors begin to
appear. At the same time this change
takes place in the gem it becomes also
reduced in size from the evaporation OF
the quarry water contained in its veins.
Great care must be exercised in drying
the stone or it will split and crack IN
thousand directions and become utter
ly worthless. 1t is also liable to a17
other calamity if exposed to ms
temperature-that is, of losing Y
cence, and when this once hapk
stone is absolutely worthless

Let the New Year sing
At the Old Years grave;
VIII the New Year bring
What the Old Year gave?
All! the stranger year trips over the SHOWS,
And his brow is wFeathed with many rose:
Bat how many thorns do the roses conceal,
Which the roses, when withered, shall soon
reveal?
Let the New Year smile
W hlie the Old Year dies;
In how short while
Shall the smiles be sighs?
Yea! Stranger ear, thou hast many q charm
And thy face is fair and thy greeting warm
But, dearer than thou in his shroud Of SHOWS
Is the furrowed face of the year that goes.
Yeai bright New Year,
Ger all the earth,
With song and cheer,
They will hail thy birth:
They viii trust thy words in Il single hour
They will love thy face, they win laud thy
power,
For the New has charms which the Old has
not,
And the Strangers face makes the Friends
forgot.

A Good Example,.

The people of Montreal know how to

with snow and ice and wintry blasts
and compel them to minister to th.ir
pleasure. TO the Canadian, winter is a
gay festival. Wrapped in warm furs,
he deies the keen winds, from which
we shrink. lie ghdes over the snow as

snow shoers. Rockets and candles are
thrown against its cleaning sides, and
after the capture, fireworks blaze from
the turrets. Ice condoras, sleigh rides.

sn-w shoeing, skating make the win

We have all the facilities for such en-.

abundance, and ice clear as crystal.

GETTING EVEN. "A grocer was
one day huugrily waiting for his clerk
to return from dinner. that he. too.
might partake OF his MONDAY meal.
when boy came into the store with a
basket in his hand and said: Il seed a
boy grab up this ere basket from the
door and run, and ! ran after him and
made him give it up. ''My boy, Won
are a good, honest boy" replied the
grocer, ''and good boys should always
be encouraged. In box in the back
room there are eight dozen eggs; YOU
can take them home to your mother
and keep the basket The grocer had
been saving up those eggs for days
and weeks to reward some one. In
rewardng a good boy he also got eight
dozen bad eggs carried out Of the
neighborhood free of cost, and he
chuckled as he walked homeward. The
afternoon waned, night came and went,
and once more the grocer went 10 his
dinner During his absence the boy
returned with the eggs and sold them
to the clerk, thus getting even with the
grocer and making y good profit of the
bad eggs. There is profit in most
things if people will only profit By them.

Tropical IDEAS Of Business.

The failure to materialize, of certain
features of the New Orleans Exposition.
the incompeteness of others, and the
financial embarrassment under which
the managers are laboring, are all so
characteristic Of that land of vast pre-
tentions, that no one having the least
acquaintance with the genius of her
people will feel at all surprised The
large way in which the managers ex-
tended the scope of what in its incipi-
ency aspired no higher than an exhibit
Of cotton and cotton goods, until, to us
the vulgar metaphor,they haye" bitten off
a bigger mouthful than they can swal-
low, was on par with the way in
which the citizens of New Orleans sub
scribed large-sums to carry on the big
enterprise, and now either cannot or
will not pay them. The whole South
should feel pride in the success of
the exposition, and realize what a
magnificent opportunity is now offered
for advancing her industrial and COM
mercial interests. She should realize
that if this opportunity is not improved,
and the exposition proves failure, it
will 10 her more harm than good. Parti-
cularly should the citizens of the Cres-
cent City herself arouse themselves,
and set the example Of promptly fur
nishing their share of the enthusiasm
and money necessary TO make the ex-
position anything like a financial sue

The Election OF a Judge to the Supreme
Court.

We notice that the question of the
election of a judge to the Supreme
Court to succeed Judge Taylor, whose
term expires with this year, is begin
ming to be discussed in some of the
newspapers of this state. The election
takes place next spring. 1t is under
stood that Judge Taylor is willing to
serve another term and we know of no
good reason why he should not be his
own successor. He has made pains
taking, able and upright Judge, and
has that reputation throughout the
stale. No objection is minated against
his reelection except his age. That, in
the case of Judge Taylor is no valid
objection. At the age of sixty eight,
he looks and appears like a man of
about fifty-iive, and certainly has more
vigor and hard work in him than men
usually have at that age.
A Madison correspondent of one of
the daily papers says that there is soon
to be meeting of the bar at Madison.
to consider the matter of putting in
nomination candidate for Judge Tay-
lor's place No call for meeting of
the bar of the state has been issued,
and if there is to be meeting of mem
bers of the bar soon, 1T must necessarily
be composed of select few of self-con-
stituted representatives of the legal
profession. There is certainly no OBJ
lection to members of the bar, or, for
that matter, of other gentlemen, meet
ing TO express their preference for a
Judge of the Supreme Court. but it has
not been customary in this state 10 NOM
mate Judges of the Supreme Court in
this way, and we do not think that tie
practice should now be inaugurated
Undoubtedly the bar is better qualified
than any other class of citizens to pass
upon the qualifications of rival judicial
candidates, and its opinion always has
much weight in determining who the
nominee or nominees shall be; but the
Judges of the Supreme Court are Judges
for all the people of the state. and all
the people, as far rs is practicable,
should have a voice in nominating as
well as in electing them. 1t would
probably be impracticable to call con-
vention to nominate, and as the legisla-
ture is in session it is, in our opinion.
unnecessary. True the legislature was
not elected for the purpose of nomnat-
ing candidate for the Supreme Bench,
but each assembly and senatorial dis
trict IS represented in the legislature,
and through their representatives the
people in each district can make their
preference for Supreme Judge known,
and the action of the legislature in the
matter would thus become as nearly
the action of the people as under the
circumstances is possible.

To one not thoroughly acquainted
with this section of country, yet having
had some opportunity Of comparing il
with other sections, the spirit Of emf
grafton that induces wel-to-do farmers
OF Grant county to sell out and 90 to
Dakota, or to any Of the frontier states
or territories is quite incomprehensible.
The Grant county farmer may have OBJ
stacles to overcome that are not met in
Dakota, but on the other hand he will
have many advantages here that he will
sadly miss there. 1t is not our purpose
here to discuss, in detail, the relative
advantages of this and other agricultu-
raj sections of country, but simply to
express the opinion that farmer who
means business can do as well ri yht
here in Grant county as in any state or
territory in the Union. We have heard
story of man who was told in a
vision, of a pot of gold which he would
find buried beneath post bear
ing the inscription "E0ode' dig.
Fall of courage and faith in the ultimate
success of his quest, he started out in the
prime of life, in search of the buried
treasure. For years he searched in
vain through foreign lands, and at last
returning home an old and grey haired
man, his usefulness and capacity for
enjoyment gone, he beheld inscribed
upon his own door-post the long sought
inscription. He dug, and found the pot
Of gold right at his own door. The APP
plipation will be readily seen. We be-
lieye that the same qualities necessary
to success in any place. exercised right
here at home viii. in the end, work out a
richer measure of success, and yield
more real satisfaction, than following
wandering fires, or worshiping strange
Gods.

Railroad War.

War finally broke out openly
between the Wisconsin Central r. T.
and the 81. Paul The trouble arose
from the fact that thu Central has now
completed a line to ST. Paul and thus
comes to competition with the ST. Paul
road. The two companies have al
ways used the same track, belonging
TO the ST. p. Co., for about - miles out
Of Milwaukee, aud upon the completion
of the through line this Company
refused to let the Central run sleepers
over this road, and blocked the track
with freight ears.
E.A. Abott, trustee and general solic-
itor for the Central Road was tele-
graphed for and on arriving in Milwau-
kee held consultation with President
Mitchell which resulted in the declara-
ton of truce until the matter might be
satisfactorily settled, and in the mean
time the Central has been allowed to run
slesp Is between Milwaukee, and st.
P4a II is now but question of dol
lars and cents, fixing the amount the st.
Paul Co. shall! be paid for the use of its
track. and no doubt the matter will be
amieably arranged. There will probab-
N be some litigation TO determine the
amount Of damages due 70 the Central
for the detention Of its sleepers. Both
roads. however. will be perfectly willing
10 abide by the decision Of the court -
they simply want tie arrangement a
fair one 10 all parties.
As a nation we must not lay our.
selves liable to the epithet Of hypocrits

euec between one theory and practice.
