THE VALLEY OF SILENCE.
pY FATHER RYAN.

In the hush of the Valley Of Silence
dream oil tho songs that sing;
And the music floats down the dim valley
Till each finds word for wing,
That to hearts, like the dove Of tho Deluge
A message Of peace they may bring.
But far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on tho beach;
And have heard songs in the silence
That never shall fo,.t into speech;
And have had dreams in the valley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And have seen thoughts in the valley
All me! how my spirit was stirredl
And they wear holy veils on their faces
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass through the valley like virgins,
Too pure for the touch of word.
Do you ask me the place of the valley,
Ye hearts that arc narrowed by care!
II lieth afar between mountains,
And God and His Angels are there;
And one is the dark mountain of Sorrow,
And one the bright mountain of Prayer

point. Furthermore, during his long
public life the breath of suspicion
never touched him in that regard.
Hence President Cleveland naturally
turned TO him as the man for his
present position, and tho fact is
vastly more complimentary than
would the tender Of more lucrative
Office have been under ordinary cir
cumstances. or course this would
not be conceded by tho Globe-Demo-
crat, which probably regards Dorsey,
Brady, and their style, as its ideals
of worldly success" We trust,
however, it may be- able to repress
its tears over the sad fate OF such

why Attorney General Garland does
not mingle in society, as follows: Il
think it is no discredit to him, but
on the contrary a deserved tribute.
il I give the real reason for this ap-
parent perversity, as told me by
lady prominent in southern demo-
cratic circles. She says that the At
torney-G General has been hard
drinker in his day and that the least
taste or even smell Of wine maddens
him, and he dares not accept dinner

The anarchist trials have come to
an end and promptly and without
hesitation the jury found seven Of
the prisoners guilty Of murder in
the first degree and one who was
only charged with manslaughter was
given fifteen years in the penitentiary.
The verdict of the jury has met uni
vsrsal approval throughout the coun-
try and is an evidence that the law is
yet thoroughly efficient in such cases.
Here is an evidence Of the fact that
even in the hot-bed Of anarchism the
civil arm of the government is amply
able to defend the peace Of commun,
tiles and the lives Of citizens as well.
as their property. The American
people are thoroughly reliable and
the inclinati OF hot-headed agita-
tors to call upon the military arm on
the least provocation is not only
harmful but dangerous in the ex-
treme. The masses OF the American
people are earnest respecters OF the
law and in time Of excitement and
tdrmoil merely wise execution OF
their duties by the officers OF the
law is all that is required. The peo-
pie can be depended on to see the
final triumph of the legal powers.
This anxiety to bring into play the
military arm on every occasion is not
only foreign to American ideas but
altogether unnecessary and liable to
make bad matters worse. American
men can be relied on TO vindicate the
supremacy Of the law and enforce its
requirements, and the history of this
anarchist riot in Chicago is stand
ing witness of the fact Dallas Mer--

The Murder of ArresurIs.

The case of the unfortunate Fran
cisco Arresuris excites the indigna-
ton Of American citizens and OF all
lovers OF justice and fair play. Ow-
ing to aur governments action with
regard to Cutting every outrageeom-
mitted on the Mexican frontier, in
which persons entitled TO the protec-
ton OF our laws havo suffered, has
become q subject OF examination.
Probably if Cutting had not been
arrested we should have heard little
or nothing about the murder Of Ar
resuris, for it now appears that the
similar murder Of an American citi-
zen named Galindo, in April last, by
the very same scoundrel Mondragon,
attracted no attention. Who has
heard about the killing OF Galindo?
Who, outside OF the limits Of Eagle
Pass and Piedras Negras would have
heard OF the murder Of Arresuris, II
the Cutting case had not given un-
usual prominence to all affairs Of the
kindY 1t is a hard country, this Rio
Grande frontier, and when the light
is turned upon it despicable crimes
are revealed. The light should not
be shut off again. 1t is needed for
the protection OF innocent men on
both sides of the river.--N Y. Times.

Mr.. Tilden, having no family OF his
own, did not commit the blunder Of
bestowing his large property on the
families of relatives. He recognizes
their claim upon his consideration by
making much better provision for
them than they had been able to
make for themselves; but the great
bulk Of his fortune is given to pro-
mote the public intelligenceand COM
fort. Free public libraries in Yon-
kers, his home, and in New Lebanon,
his birth and burial-place, and q
great free public library in New York
City, are the objects which seemed to
this sagacious American and profound
believer in American institutions
worthy to absorb four Of the five
millions Of his estate. BY this dispo-
sition Of his wealth Mr.. Tilden takes
himself out of the category Of the
Stewards, Vanderbilts, and other rich
New Yorkers who have sought to
perpetuate their name by keeping
their dead hands on their cash, and
enters the illustrious list OF the
Coopers, Peabodys, Licks, Corcorans,
and others, who gave back to the
world what the world had given
