In October accompanied Lord
Houghton to Roslyn to visit Mr.. Bry-
ant. One evening the two poets yield
ed to the solicitation of spme of the
guests, and each recited selections from
his own poetry-s violence to his mod
esty to which / doubt II Mr.. Bryant, at
least, had ever submitted before. He
began by reading October" afterward
assigning as reason for the selection
that it was the shortest Of all his poems,

became of secondary interest. Two
men more unlike in their theories OF
human life, It's legitimate purposes and
results, could hardly be imagined; yet
both had in common venerable age,
exquisite literary culture, and undis-
puted social prestige. 1t was apparent
from the. first that each was trying to
entertain two very distinct audiences
one the rival poet, and the other their
common listeners. 1t was somewhat
more difficult for Bryant than for
Houghton to yield to our appeals. He
had constitutional aversion to being
the hero of his own comedy. and it was
not till refusal would seem to "dun the
edge of hospitality" that he surren-
dered himself cheerful victim. There
was pretty strife of modesty between
them, neither wishing to betray his

to the impression they would make.
The poems they selected might have
been rendered more dramatically and
more melodiously by reader who, had
not to strive with the responsibilities

Our COantrys s Progress.

The foreign press have recently been publishing figures to show the marvellous progress of the Uni ted States. Some of these are worth reproducing. and should be kept in mind by Americans. In 1870 our production of wheat was 2S6,000 GOO bushels. In 1884 it was 5l3 .000,090 bushels, an in crease of over So per cent. In 1870 we produced 7G0. ,000 bushels Of corn. In 1881 the production was nearly l 500, ,009,GG0. Ot our l7,- 090,000 of working people in 1880, S,000,000 were agriculturiSts. h 1870 there were :, Z,JJ0,000 farms in the United States. To-day there are over 5,009, GOO. The tendency is toward small. farms; especially on the Pacific coast, where the cult ure of fruit, nuts, grapes and the like does not require large quanti, ties of land. Then the railway companies, who ilava large quanti- ties of land, encourage small farm CTS who are actual settlers, as large speculative holders hinder the settlement of the country, which deprivcs the railroads of business they would otherwise h.ve.-Dem- oreSt's Monthly.

WATER woEKs-c1rY CREEK.


The marked decrease in the pressure
from the water mains throughout the
city has been noted and commented on
several times lately in the columns of
THE HERALD. Every extension of the
mains and every new service pipe les
sens the force with which the water is
driven through the pipes. The fact is
noticed most by the firemen. A few
years ago, it was with difficulty that
they could control the hose when tae
3uIl head was turned on, with such
tremendous force did the stream come
now, we are informed that the engine
has to be employed for pumping at
hydrants where formerly the pressure
was all that was required. This de-
ere se makes it plain that if the water
works are to continue effective for fire
extinguishing purposes, better head of
water must be obtained and this can
easier be done by carrying the settling
tanks higher up the creek and increas-
ing their capacity, as well as the capac-
ity Of the mains for the extension. The
failure of the pressure has been SO
marked lately and seems to be SO reg
ular and certain as the private service
increases, that the wisdom of making
the improvement at once should occur
to the Council. One fire, such as is
liable to break out at any time, and
which nigh. be readily extinguished if
there we're the old time force to the
SIRENS from the hose, would destroy

the stream and constructing larger

insignificant boxes at the head of tie

In. this connection we again suggest
that the city should. if possible, obtain
the title to and control of that por-
ton of City Greek Canyon and
sire m that has not yet come
into the ownership of the cor
poration. 1t was a happy
thought which few years ago led the
city to purchase the land of the upper
part of the canyon; since then the
herds of cattle and sheep have been
kept of, and the stream free from the
filth which used to get into it, to the
frequent disgust of the public. As we
understand 1t the city has the title to
the canyon from the mouth to the
head of the creek, with the exception of
a piece at the lower end, which is owned
by private parties. Whether or not this
can be obtained for reasonable sum,
The HERALD is not aware, but if it can
be had the purchase should be made, as
we have before urged, when the cor
poration will be independent and be-
yond interference. as regards City
Greek, and the public be protected both
against the fouling of the stream and
the diversion of the water; and also the
extension of the mains and construc-
ton of reservoirs may be proceeded
with without fear of disturbance or in
reference of any character.

Art Notes.

Amateur work of all kinds accompan-
les the growing taste for art. Home
decoration, more particularly, which at
one time was limited to small articles of
domestic manufacture, has broadened
and deepened and now includes panel
and wall painting. 1t is not unusual to
find rooms in which all the decoration
Is the work of home artists. This is so
well recognized that designs are execu-
ted by leading painters to serve as
models for amateurs. Large panel
studies, exquisite groupings of flowers,
berries, ferns and grasses, are specially
prepared for photographic reproduction
with this end in view. Among Prang's
publications are landscapes by the late
A. F. Bellows and by ]. F. Murphy, ad-
admirably adapted 10 this purpose.
An interesting exhibition is now at
the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
Messrs L. Prang & Co. have set up

graphic reproductions, showing the re-

hibition.

MORE PARDONS.

The Kentucky Governors have gained
an unenyiable reputation for pardoning
criminals from the Penitentiary. 1t is
difficult enough in the Blue Grass State
to convict man and get him into the
"pen," but it is no trouble to get him
out. Missouri's late Governor, who was
a Kentuckian, followed the example of
his own States executives, and turned
criminals out blythe score; he went even
farther, and agreed with the scoundreIs
before they were tried or arrested that
they should not be- punished. Our own
Governor, Murray, who is Kcntuckian
and half brother of the Missouri man
referred to, is following in the
footsteps of Kentucky Governors. The
newspapers report that Murray
has turned loose another batch of con-
yicts, some of whom are represented as
hard characters, and the guilt of some
of them was undoubted. In view of the
ease with which murderer, burglar or
thief can obtain pardon of His Excel
lency, the bad element for which Murray
has so much sympathy and affection,
will probably be holder than in the past,
knowing that conviction will be followed
by early release, no matter what their
crimes; and officers will soon become
tired of hunting wrong-doers, knowing
that the Governor will nullify the law
and make farce of justice.
