Climbing the hili
And how, drop by drop, the lily her cup
With dew will MI

Her slow night-song;
And how the small bird with folded wing,
SO long, so long.

One after one;
And how the gray east it's sad color will keep
TIL at last the sun
steals up his long spikes Of shimmering gold
Into the sky;
And the sheep come lettering out OF the fold;
And day is nigh.
Another day for the world to awake,

For hearts 10 beat and for hearts to break

Dawneth on me
When all sad things shall belong to the past.

Eyes, free 70 look in the others true eyes;

Arms, free 10 clasp; be It foolish or wise,

All will be well.

eight years, was sold to George w. Childs.

Secretary Bayard sticks to his desk more
persistently than any of his colleagues. He
goes to the state department soon after 0
o'clock in the morning, and frequently is
behind his clerks in leaving. He seems to
DO tireless, and seldom intersperses his
work with relieving chats. Look into his
Office almost any time during business
hours and you will find him sitting bolt up
right at his desk penning away industrious
ly. II is said that he is very slow worker
and by no means facile writer. ALI the
approaches to his office are kept silent,
since the secretary will not tolerate any
noise while he is at work. Subordinates
generally approach him on tiptoe, and not
one of them dare TO speak without giving a
little preliminary cough. Up the corridor
a little further Secretary Whitney divides
his time about equally between working
and chatting. He receives more friendly
callers than any of his colleagues, and is,
perhape, Abe most agreeable stallker. He
has the safe faculty Of accomplishing much
with little apparent application to work.
He does not mind Interruptions indeed,
they seem to afford him needed relief.
Secretary Endicott is nervous worker
and not q steady one. He seldom remains
ct his desk ten consecutive minutes, but
must move about among his subordinates,
talking and giving instructions. He is said
to be quite irritable at times, though his
outbreaks amount to nothing.
Secretary Lamnr's room shows that he is

RAISING sHonr.HonNs.


General Charles e. Lippincott, who has
been appointed governor of the new Sol
diers' Home at Quincy, is one of the ILL
noisans who went broke on the short-horn
cattle craze. In 1876 there were dozen
great breeders of fancy cattle who had made
from $3.50, 900 to 100000 in the business
They lived high when the craze was on;
nonchalantly gave their checks for $4,000
and sometimes 800, 600 for calves and pedi-
grees, but which could be picked up in the
arms of strong man and carried of like
any other veal. This was up in 1874. In
1875 all these men were broken financially
The cattle they had paid thousands for sold
for hundreds. The calves which had cost
half their weight in gold wouldn't sell at
ALL The whole fancy cattle bubble had
burst WITH Us little notice as that other his
torical bubble, the famous tulipomania of
Holland. A few Ilinoisans as far back as
the SOS were bent on making this finer
cattle State than Kentucky. II II had not
been for these enthusiasts Illinois would
not be the second now in the rank for fine
bred cattle. The State itself, thirty years
ago, appointed commission and empower
ed it to go to England and select, pay for
and import to Springfield one hundred of
the finest bred cattle that could be bought

Berkshires. Lppincott left the State Audi
tors Office with about 5000, 900. His were
the days Of fees. He went into cattle rails
ing and had some great animals. For the
twenty-first Duchess Of Airdrie he paid $17,-
500 when she was only six weeks old For
the nineteenth Duke Of Airdrie he paid go
600. These were first cousins to the dutch
ess' COW ct American Mills, N. Y, for
which Lord Skelmersdale paid 100000.
Nppincott went broke, Of course. Men
who knew a great deal more about pedi-
grees than he were just as unfortunate. W.
II. Duncan, Of Townnda, now deceased,
sunk fortune Of quarter Of million dol
lars. j. II. Pickerell, editor now of the
American Short-horn Herd Book sunk
his fortune Of 100000 in the same way.
William Stewart, of Lee county, did the
same thing. SO did General Meredith, Of
Indiana. There were about dozen splen-
did fellows, enthusiasts for blood and pedi-
grees, to whom Illinois OWES millions of it's
wealth, all of whom sunk their fortunes, as
pioneers usually do. These men raised the
quality of cattle in this State cent pound

200 pounds to the steer. How much has
that been worth TO Illinois? Can anybody

A COMET FOR EARLY RISERS.

attention to the fact that we now have

at Paris, France, on Dec, last was
quiet easily seen as !hazy star with
faint tail in the northeastern sky.
With the telescope the comet was
beautiful object, with tail some i've
degrees or six degrees long, very slen-
der and neatly shaped. A bright stan
like nucleus shone in the head and was
Isurrounded by a nobulous glow OF
Hight. A group of small stars could be
seen some distance back of the head,
shining though the gauzy train without
lauy perceptible diminution of their
|Iustre. The comet promises to be
conspicuous object in few days, as lis
|brillancy is now only sixty times that
of discovery aud it will rapidly in
lcrease up to the Goth, at which time it
will be brightest. The comet will
then be visible in the evening, setting
less than an hour after the sun, but II
will be AGO times as bright as when
