TRESPASS AND TRESPASSERS.

Wild beasts, birds, and fishes,
which have no owner, become the
lawful prize of anyone who can kill
or capture them, often inhabit land
or water that is the subject of pr.
waite ownership, and, by entering
theron without permission in search
or pursuit of game, the sportsman
becomes a trespasser. Not only are
there in this country large tracts of
unenclosed land belonging either to
the State or to private owners, who
do not exclude the sportsman there
from, but the g custom Of the coun.
try" in most localities is to permit
him to enter on any "unposted"
land in pursuit of game, subject OILY
to liability for such damage as he
may cause to the land itself. In re.
gard to enclosed and cultivated lands
such license by custom has been de-
MED.
Upon the whole, it may be said
that the sportsman cannot claim any
legal right to enter OH private prop
erty in pursuit Of game, based on
the custom so to do. The right to
hunt or fish on land or water may
be founded on custom, prescription,
grant, or license. A right by grant
may be given by the State as the
owner ct game or fish in public lands
or waters, or by the private owners
of real property. The right by grant
requires writing which, as The
right to kill and carry away game
on land is license of profit
should be based on sufficient con.
sideration, and should be executed
with the legal formality of Q deed Of
land. A verbal license is sufficient
to justify an entry upon private
property to shoot or fish, and it is
good until revoked. But if the
sportsman remain on the land after
his license to be there has been re-
voked, or if, having got leave to
come upon the land for a specified
purpose, as to cross over it, or to
gather nuts, or to eat his lunch, he
should proceed to hunt or fish, he
would become .respasser.-Amer-

two foxes who never had cross

they gave it up as bad job, and

LYRIC OF ACTION.

It's the part of a coward to brood
Ger the past that is withered and dead
What though the heart s roses are ashes
and dust
What though the hearts music be fed ?
Still shine the grand heavens o 'erhead,
Whence the voice of an angel thrills
clear on the soul.
8 Grid about thee thine armor, press on
to the goal !"
If the faults or the crimes OF thy youth
Are burden too heavy to bear,
What hope can rebloom on the desolate
waste
OF Jealous and craven despair?
Down, down with the letters of fear
In the strength of thy valor and man
hood arise,
With the faith that illumes and the will
that defies.
:" Too late I" through Gods infinite
From His throne to life's nethermost
=" Too later is a phantom that flies at the
dawn
OF the soul that repents and aspires.
If pure thou hast made thy desires,
There's no height the strong wings OF
immortals may gain
Which in striving to reach thou shalt
strive for in vain.
Then up to the contest with fate,
Unbound by the past, which is dead j
What though the hearts roses are ashes
and dust
What though the heart s music be fled
Still shine the fair heavens o'erhead
And sublime as the angel who rules in
the sun
Beams the promise of peace when the
conflict is won

Several years ago the meat-house
of John Chatterton, near Belair,
Nd, was destroyed by fire under
circumstances that marked as the
act of an incendiary. Two years
later his buggy was filled with straw,
burned and practically destroyed.
About three months ago one of his
valuable horses was poisoned. Two
weeks later his chickens were poison
ed. About two years ago his buggy
and harness were cut and disfigured,
and scurriious paper pinned on his
carriage door. Friday night last his
stables were destroyed by an incen-
diary. A valuable Arabian mare,
which recovered from the attempted
poisoning, persisted in the fire. He
attributes bis prosecutions to some
of his nelghbors.

recommended (as most articles introduced in

strictly according to directions, We do hereby
most cheerfully recommend it TO all house,
keepers. By following the directions we be-
lieve thai at least one-half the labor may be
sayed,-that the expense of fuel may be reduc-
ed ree-fourths,-that three-fifths of the usual
rubbing of clothes may be avoided, and that a

by proper use of this propagation than with
the assistance of a washer-woman. We recon-
mend every lady to give the article practical

having done so.

D0sT THOU REMEMBER7

Dost thou remember, love, one night in
June
Above our heads the stars their tapers
swung
And from her fieecy couch the fair young
moon
Lifted herself and. smiling DER us,
hung.
Dost thou remember love? All life for
Can never hold brighter memory.
The waves crept up and whispered at our
feet,
As tho they had tender tale to tell I;
Across the hills there came in cadence
sweet,
The silvery swayings of distant bell.
And with thy kisses ruby-lipped, divine,
My soul was Keeling as from draughts
of wine
Dost thou remember, love? Canst thou
forget
How in my hand thy vibrant fingers
lay?
How quickly moon and evening star had
set,
And how the moments sped, like
dreams away
Thou dost remember? Thou didst only
feign
Say it again, my own again-again ?

From our Special Correspondent.
WAsIHNGToN, d. c., Jan. ?, 'S6.
In times past the dawning of the New
Year was almost invariably accompanied
by bad weathcr-bad, at least, for the
social duties of the New Year day.
Those who intended making calls were
accustomed to engage carriages some
time in advance, being satisfied that
when the time arrived it would be very
unpleasant to go about on foot. To-day
however, was notable exception.
More beautiful weather than that which
greeted the citizens of Washington when
they arose this morning could not be de-
sired. It equalled the delightful wealth
er of early spring. The air was crisp
and inspiring, verifying with surprising
accuracy the predictions Of the signal
service weather prophet. Under the
warming influence of the sun the chill
of the air was moderated and New Year
callers began their rounds under the
most favorable circumstances. The
days gaieties naturally centered in the
reception at the White House-the first
New Year reception held by a Demo
cratic President for many years. Po-
licemen were stationed at the avenue
gates, and at half past 10 o'clock per-
mitted the newspaper representatives
and other authorized persons to enter.
Shortly after carriages began to arrive
with the ladies of the Cabinet who were
to assist Miss Cleveland in receiving.
The Marine Band was early on hand,
and was, as usual on New Years day,
stationed in the large vestibule and
played during the hours of the recep-
ton.
The White House parlors were very
tastefully decorated. Potted plants and
growing flowers, all in gilded or slyered
baskets, filled the mantle-pieces and
shelves in front of the large mirrors,
while every nook and corner was filled
with palms and other trophical plants.
SmilaX was gracefully twined in abund-
ance about the mammoth chandeliers.
The gas was lighted in the interior
rooms, but the bright sunshine found its
way through cracks and creyices and
mingled with the mellow glow. In the
East room daylight reigned supreme.
There was a large corps of assistants in
addition to the regular White House
ushers, and the arrangements made with
care were successfully carried out.
All the parlors except the East room
were darkened and the gas burned
brightly in the crystal chandeliers, which
We're festooned with garlands of smilax.

little to the enchanting scene. Groups
of happy people were seen engaged in
social chat. There was Captain de la
Chere, in the French navy uniform, with
long switch of horse-hair falling from
the back of his helmet. The foreign
ministers were sociable with our public
men.
Mr.. Dalton, the postmaster of the
House, who is always well informed up
on Indiana matters. said to-day that he
believed the Democrats were sure to
elect successor to Senator Ben. Harri-
son. Mr.. Mcdonald, he thinks, will be
the man chosen. The only other man
prominently spoken of for the place is
Gov. Gray, but Democratic custom in
Indiana rules him out on account of his
being the governor until IS. 1t has al
ways been a rule with the Democrats in
Indiana that no man should be elected
to any other office while holding the
position of Governor of the State.
Nnen MT. Mcdonald was elected to the
Senate Mr. Hendricks was Governor,
and on that account refused to allow his
name TO be used in connection with the
place.
With matters as they now stand the
Democrats think they have a pretty
good chance of getting control of the
D
Senate in 1887. Having already elected
a successor to Senator Malone, and
what they think is a certainty in Indi-
ana, they will work to carry Michigan,
Connecticut, New Jersey and California,
as they think, with pretty good chance
of success. They have no hope of doing
anything in New York, as that State is
distrcted against them. and is too close,
on general elections even, to be depend
| ed upon.
