THE CHANGE o. THE SEASONS.

When the hen begins to cackle
And the rooster gins to crow.
When the duck begins to quackle
And the sun to melt the snow,
Then we know that springs a creepin'
In upon us full of cheers,
And the snow begins weepin'
Of itself away in tears.
When we hear the martins singin'
And flynn round the shed,
When we see the peewees wingin
And the geese begin to wed,
Then we get the boss and wagon,
And around the barn we scratch
And manure commence draggin
Out upon the tater-patch.
When the buttereups are bloomin'
And the frog is heard to croak.
When the thunder is a boomin'
And the lightin hugs the oak,
Then we know that Summers tryin
For to hustle Spring away,
And the mud begins dryin'
And the dust begins to play.
When we see the snake crawlin
And the crows begin to cav.
And the cat-bird is squallin
And the magpie gins to jaw,
Then we get the scythe and sickle
And begin to whet and grind,
And the grass commence to tickle
And the wheat to cut and bind.
When the frost begins nippin'
OF the sweet-pertater vine,
When the rambo and the pippin
Through the leaves begin to shine,
Then we know that Autumn's prowlin
Round the tail of Summers blouse,
And the wind begins howlin
Round the gables of the house.
When the hickory-n nuts are droppin'
And the pawpaw's gettin' soft,
When the buzzard's wings are fioppin
For the south to sail aloft,
Then we gather in the pumpkin
And the fodder gin to shock,
And the corn begin a huskin'
In the crib to feed the stock.
When we hear the pigs squealin
And the snow-birds gin to play,
When we see the rabbit stealin'
In beneath the stack of hay
Then we know that Winters squeezin'
In old Autumn s shoes to take,
And the ice begins freezin'
And the snow begins to flake.
When me hear the trees sighin'
And the arms are lookin' bare,
When we feel the cold a flynn
On the sharp and frosty air,
Then the wood we gin chopin
And around the fire we meet,
Then the corn begin a poppin'
And the nuts and apples eat.

A Word to Workers.

If your avocations are mentally or physi-
cally laborious. if they subject you to expos
ure in Indictment weather. if they confine you
to the desk, and are of a nature to involve
wear and tear of the brain, and nervous strain,
you may occasionally require some renovat-
ing tonic. Hostetters Stomach Bitters is the
article for you, it stimulates the falling ener-
g!es. invigorates the body and cheers the mind.
1t enables the system to throw off the debili-
tating effects of undue fatigue, gives renewed
vigor to the organs of digestion, arouses the
liver when inactive, which 1t very often is
news the jaded appetite, and encourages
healthful repose. Its ingredients are safe, and
its credentials, which consist in the hearty en-
dorsement of persons of every class of society,
are most convincing. Admirably is it adapt
ed to the medical wants of workers.

SENATOR INGALLS, SPEECH.

The resolutions of the Senate Ju.
dietary Committee on the course oil
the President in withholding infor.
nation asked for from that body,
were passed last week. Among the
speeches made, that of Senator In
gals, Of Kansas, attracted most at.
tention.
MIR. INGALLS, CAPITAL SPEECH.
Mr.. ingalls,, in starting out, de-
MED that the Senate had asked for
the Presidents reasons for suspend.
ing anybody from Office, and denied
that it wanted any "private" pa
pers. Speaking for the Kansas Re-
publicans, he said they had not tried
to keep office. There was no craving
there for mercy. No mercenary
straggler went for shelter to the
bomb-proof of the tenure of office
act, and no sutler crawled behind
the fragile breastwOrks of civil SER
vice reform. laughter If, at the
end of one year, few Republicans
remained in office-rari mates in
QurQites uasto-it was because the
victorS had been unable to agree
among themselves. He (Mr. In.
gallS) was not one of those who be-
lieved in non-partisanship in politics.
Political parties were indispensable
to free government. When the peo-
pie decided ON a change of admins
tration, that implied that there should
be change of the agencies through
which the administration might be
made effectual. Unless the Presi-
dent of the United States was to be
a mummy, swathed in cloths that
would render him absolutely inef-
fectual of vital functions, he must
have powers commensurate with his
duties. After the election the Dem.
ocrats expected to get in, and the
Republicans to get out. But a new
Genesis had come about oflate years
"a class of political philosophers who
believed that non. partlsanship was
a panacea for all the evils that af-
flicted the republic; men who de-
cried the operation of the Gamer
lean" system, as they called it. This
new party had been recruited from
the Republican party. If there was
any genuine civil service reformer
who had deserted the ranks of the
Democracy, history did not record
his name. Laughter.
THE NEUTER GENDER,
Mr.. Ingalls, said, was not popular,
either in nature or in science, Male
and female created He them" But
there was third sex-if that could
"sex' be called which sex had none
resulting sometimes from cruel
caprice of nature, at others from ac-
cident or malevlent distinguishes
ing the vices of both and the virtues
of neither iaughterl, unable either
to beget or bear, possessing neither
fecundity nor virility endowed with
the contempt of men and the deris-
ion of women, doomed to sterility,
isolation and extinction. Laugh.
ter. But" said Mr.. Ingalls,, /" they
have two functions; they sing falset-
to great laughterl, and they arc
usually selected as the guardians OF
the seraglios of Oriental despots.'
Renewed laughter. To come from
figure to fact, he continued, this
third party had distinguished itself
By singing, in 1aIsetto phrases, Of
civil service reform, anil had been
selected as the guardian Of the con

INDIAN MAssAcREs.
Horrible Murders of White People In
the Northwest.
One Hundred Persons Fallen Victims
to the Savages.

OTTAWA, Ont. Sept. 29.-Word has been
received by the department of mounted po-
lice from Grow Creek agency, Northwest
territory that the Blood Indians from that
reservation who have gone on the war pain
and are devastating about there in revenge
for the killing of six of their band recently,
left their reservation Monday morning, and
went south to Hudson, N. w. T., where
they came on a small settlement of whites,
some 16 in number, of whom ten were wom-
scalped The besieging party carried off the
scalps as trophies on poles: They then con-
tinued on .the way toward the GroSventres
settlement. Along their tracks were many
farm houses of settlers. These were af laid
in ashes and the inhabitants killed and
seajped. No less than 100 whites have so far
failed victims to the red devils; Among
those killed are two Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries at the Crowfoot agency whose bod
les are said to have been terriably mutllated.
Whites at the reservation, including the In
dian agent, have been killed. After leaving
the agency, about 80 miles towards the
American border the Crowfeet met about 60
Grosventres and desperate hight ensued.
The killed and wounded on each side cannot
be estimated correctly, but it is believed the
Crowfeet lost nine killed and thirty wound
ed, while over fifty fell belonging to the
Grosyentres tribe One hundred and fifty
ponies were captured by the attacking party
as well as large amount OF clothing ana
I1 ment that at least $25O 900 worth of property
belonging to settlers has been burned and
otherwise destroyed while loss of life cannot

his hands full in attending to the correspond
eDce that came in.
George has received many letters, not only
from prominent men in this city, promising
support with their votes, but from all over
the country offering financial aid. Those
who supported the candidacy of James J.
Coogan have made up their minds to submit
gracefully to the will of the majority, and
will fall into line for George. Mr.. Coogan
himself says he is satisfied with. the result.
The executive committee of the Central
Labor Union conference has opened head
quarters at No. 141 East Eighth street. John
McMackin, chairman of the committee, said
that little was done yesterday, except to get
things ready for the real work of the cam

sent to all district leaders. 1t speaks of the
