AT the LAST.

There must be something after all this woe;
A sweet truitiOn from the narrowed past.
But some day from the pacing to and fro,
A tender sunbeam and dear flower at last.
There viii be something when these days are
dOne5
Something more fair by far than starry nj ghts;
A prospect Imitless, as one by one
Embodied castles crown the airy heights.
So cheer mp, heart, and for that morrow waitl
Dream what you will but press toward the
Let fancy guide dull efforts through the gate,
And face the current, would she cross the
stream.
Then when the something lies athWart the way
Coming unsOught, as good things Eeem to do
Twill prove beneath the flash Of setting day
A uCbler need than now would beckOn yOu.
For lifted up by constant, forward strife,
Hope viii attain so marvellous height
There can be nothing found within this life
After this day TO form a fitting night.
So heaven alone shall ever satisfy,
And Gods own light be ever light enough
To guide the purified, eunObied eye
Toward the smooth which lies beyond the
rough.
There. viii be something when these clouds skim
by
A b0unteOus yielding from the fruitful past;
And peace and rest upon the pathway lie
Although death and flowers at last.

GEN. sHERIDAN's REPORT.


som sthing Concerning TIE Condition OF
The Army.
WASHINGTON, D. O., November 13.-Lieu-
tenant General Sheridan has submitted to
the secretary of war his annual report, show
ing the operations of the military forces
during the past year. From the report II
appsars that az the date of lhe last returns
the army of the United States consisted OF
2 IG2 officers and % S4G men. The l6uten-
ant general says that while the division of
Missouri had 10 troubles approaching
condition Of hOstillties during the ear,
many operations OF q minor nature had been
rendered necessary 20 suppress predatory
raids IN Montana by the Indians from one
reservation, directed mainly against the In
dIaus or other reservations and TO protect
Indian agents from 1nsOl6nc5 and the lusuD-
ordination of their charges, and to secure
settlers from the laWl6ss demands of rowing
bands who had been permitted on one pre-
text or another, 90 leave their res erVatlOn.
The adjustment made with the CL6yeuu6s
and ArapahOes by the president, through the
medium of the lieutenant general IN July,
1880 has allayed all irritation IN the Indian
Territory, but the troops IN that region have
been kept constantly employed IN the pre-
VeutiOu of uulaW awful settlement in the Okla
hOma country and its invasion b. herds OF
cattle. Unless sOm6l5gl5latlOn is had which
will specially Fix the status of the Oklahoma
land, hefears it many advantages Will prove
z continual temptation TO the adventurous
population near its border, which Ia 5hor
period C Juld make 1t q prosperous state.
The report states that the army generally
is in a very healthy and gratifying conoluon
and the discipline excellent. But few OH
GERS have been tried by court martial during
the year, and the opinion Is expire 5sed that
there has not been period IN twenty-five
years when so little necessity has existed Tor
the correction of those holding commissions.
1t is suggested that congress open the retlr-
ed list to the extent of embracing ON GERS now
excluded from It FOR want OF vacancies.
General Sh -ridau says: "lhis would give
certain degree of promotion, and if We could
get the infantry regiment inUreasedtO twelve
companies, as proposed by the Henderson

Tn sun beats down in fierce and burning rays
On shaver fields, and fruits and golden
aheaVess
The southern breeze scarce moves the pendant
leaves.
And languid quiet marks these summer days,
Knee-7eep in pools the droWsy cattle stand:
No trout dare venture from his cool retreat,
And from the groves, once filed with voices
sweet,
No note is heard from all the festhered band.
Adown the meadow and along the plain,
When heated labor courts the sheltsring shade
blade
Still cuts the sWaying grass and bending grain
How calm and solemn seem these August days!
This mid-life of the growing, changing year.
How full of promise for the Autumn near,
When field and garden yield their annual praise

WAsHEGsOS, d. c., November S.-The su-

made last week to advance and hear togeth-
the the telephone cases, six in number, now
on the docket, and ordered that they be set
Tor argument as one case January 9th next
at the head of the calender.
The decision IN the case of the Kansas
City, Lawrence IL Southern Kansas railroad
company app6llent against Benjamin Brew
ster, attorney general, in behalf of the
United states, was delivered. The original
suit brought BY Attorney General Brewster
was to set aside certain instruments in writ
ing which convey titles from the United
States to a quantity Of land IN southeastern
Kansas. Congress had granted lands in 1866
TO the state of Kansas to aid IN the c0nRtruc-
ton OF a railroad through the Nslsho Valley
from tO-t Riley to the southern state line
aud the act contained the usual 'tindemnityi'
provision TO the eh6lt that lands other than
those speelned IN the grant should be given
70 the company IN the place Of any specified
lands which might then be taken under the
homestead and pre- empuOn laws prior TO
the location OF the roa J. Underuhis art the
road was built and in due time claim was
made Tor ld6mn1ty lands which claim was
recognized by the Interior department and
lands ceruned to the state for the company.

rlor department. and patented by the state

that by the act Of March 3, 1868, and thesup-
Elementary act of July /, 1864, the lands be
came appropriated buildmg another road
through the same region. and maintained
that these grants prevented the COMPANY
from realizing the bounty Of congress be-
cause there is in the act Of 1866 an express
reservation OF any lands granted previously
TOT rallfoad purposes. This view was sus-
tanned by the circuit court. Now the su-
prame court lnds that ongress intended by
the act Of 1896 to unity all acts on the sub
leel INTO one grant The decree Of the cir

A Psychological curiosity.

A harmless mOnOmaniac, nearly an
OctOgenarian, who had been in bed
twenty-seven years, having the delusion
that his Satanic majesty always stood at
his door to prevent him from going out,
suddenly, one morning in June, took If
into his head that the devil was gone,
whereupon he got out Of bed, and with
nothing on but his shirt, walked down
to the quay (nearly q quarter Of a mile)
and jumped over. Although boat put
of from the vessel, he swan ashore.
Nobody knowing him, he was taken to a
public house, and a medical man was
sent for. He was taken home, where he
remained two or three days in bed, all
the better for his dip. He has been to
church, and is now about to resume his
former calling, that Of a preacher.

There is more than lack Of ease
and comfort to the voter in Los Angeles
under the present system. There is
u practical Acknowledgement of con.
siderable portion Of the electors Of
the municipality. So large is the
vote in some half dozen precincts
that in any election which calls out
the full force of the population, it is a
physical impossibility to get all the
vote in. All day long we see great
lines Of voters stretching far out into
the streets. The citizen has to stand
far too great a time to get to the
ballot-box. II he be aged, i'll or
otherwise feeble, the effort is severe
tax on his strength. Many times he
prefers to stay away and lose his
privilege rs a citizen rather than en-
danger his health by such an ordeal
This is practically true in very warm
weather, and in Los Angeles very
warm day may be encountered at any
season OF the year. Then at closing
time there are often seen a very large
number OF voters shut out at the last
moment.
