saw, SAYS writer In the Minneapo-

other day which was worthy Of Sidney
smith in his happicst days. A we'll
known gentleman OF this city. who has
something Of % reputation as wag, was
my companion, ard we were passing n
large DIR, goods store which fronts on
NiCollet avenue There. drawn mp,
were three or four teams, and among
them n closed brougham, with the driver
fast asleep on the box. Evidently the
mistress was inside the store. without
n word the wag stole quickly up, and
opening the carriage door carefully and
slammed 1t suddenly to. In moment
the cOachmun slrHightcned up and
ghZed down the avenue at the electric
light mast Ms If he had never seen any
thing SO interesting In his life Then he
stole u look over his shoulder and saw
the wag standing, hat in hand, appar-
entity talking To son q one inside the car
riage. "Ihank yuu; yes; good day
said the wag. and bowed himself grace
fully away from the dDOr-turning as lie
did TO look mp at the driver and say one
word lOme!' Yes, sir, tch. get up'
and of went the hrougham-"hOme.
Where that "hOme' was. or who the

she did when SHE came out OF the store,
or whut the conchman did when he
stopDed at the door f"homen and found
the carriage empty-all that only the
cOachman and lady know.

TIM following is taken from the Fort
Worth Mail, and is eminently sound in
principle. How does 1t strike the pa
trotic citizen Of San Antonio to make II
special application Of it to the Water
works Company? The Mail says; 1.-The
Mail wishes neither to alarm. nor to
threaten, nor TO dictate. but 1t clearly
perceives that this issue between capt.
tai and labor might as well be met and
settled now. There is no use in dodg-
ing-in temporizing. The issue, new
here, is as old as organized society.
The past is pregnant with lessons for
the present, Under the Federal Consti-
tuition and American law there is but
one way in which to settle it, For pri-
vate gain, nor because Of private griev-
ance, no man nor set of men have the
right to dlscommode and injure the en-
tire community

TIM Two Republics complains Of the
sensational character of the correspond
ence In American newspapers from
Mexico. No doubt, much harm 4 done
this way by unnecessarily alarming the
Mexican people about probable Amer
lean interference, but all intelligent
Mexicans must know that American
sentiment Is against any meddllng In
Mexican matters without a good and
Just cause, the motive OF which lies al
together with the Mexicans themselves.
The fact Is that the great majority OF
American newspaper correspondents In
Mexico have an interest in giving things
as good a coloring as possible.

TO attend the First Annual Agricultural

tors one month. This portion of the
State few years ago was looked upon
as nothing better than u desert, and II
Governor lreland's sentiments could be

"Rock OF ages, cleft for me-
Thoughilessy the maiden sung,
Fell the words unconsciously
From her glrsh, gleeful tongue.
Sang as little children sing,
Sang as sing the birds in June;
Fell the words like light leaves down
ON the current OF the tune,
"Rock OF ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself In thee"
"Let me hide myself In thee
Felt her soul no need to hide.
Sweet the song as song could be.
And she had no thought beside,
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips untouched by care.
Dreaming not that they might be
On some other lips prayer.
"Rock Of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.r
"Rock OF ages, cleft for me"--
Twas a woman who sang them now
Pleasantly and prayerfully,
Every word her heart did know.
Rose the song as storm-tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer
"ltock OF ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself In thee"
"Rock OF ages, cleft for me"--
Lips grown aged sung the hymn
Trustlngly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak aud eyes grown dim,
"Let me hide myself In thee"
Trembling though the voice and low,
Rose the sweet strain peacefully,
Like river In Its now;
Sang as only one can sing
Who llfe's stormy path hath passed,
Sang as only one can sing
Who behods the promised rest
"Rock of ages. cleft for me,
Let me hide myself In thee"
Rock of ages, cleft for met
Sung above coffin lid
Underneath all restfully
All life's joys and sorrows hid;
Nevermore, oh, storm-tossed soul,
Nevermore from wind or tide
wilt thou need myself to hide.
Could the sigh,less, sunken eyes,
Closed beneath the soft, gray hair.
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again In pleading prayer,
Still, aye still, the words would be
Let me hide myself In thee.''
